Valerian under the rulership of Mercury

The continental version is found in gardens everywhere. The indigenous variant, pictured here, still grows wild along the clifftops during early summer, during the Rulership of Mercury under Gemini.

Valerian is well known as an aid to relaxation and a good night's sleep. It works on the nervous system, the communication network for our bodies. Blockages here may manifest as nervousness, stress, insomnia.

When operating efficiently, there is co-ordination between mind and body.
