Basil
Scorpio
The flower of Pluto, Scorpio's planet, is the sweetly scented
narcissus. But flowers of the mountains and wild places, such as
bright, golden broom and thorny gorse, royal blue mountain gentians, with
their martial, spiky leaves, wild pink cyclamen and anemones, or wind
flowers, belong to Scorpio, too, as they are ruled by Mars, Scorpio's
other ruling planet.Your trees are cypress, hawthorn, or may, ash
and frankincense. Your herbs are warm and spicy ginger, pepper,
coriander and basil, which are also ruled by energetic, fiery Mars. Basil
is especially considered to be Scorpio's herb.
Your essential oils are basil, coriander, ginger and frankincense, which warm and soothe, balancing your strong, Scorpio emotions and bringing out your natural courage.
The Jewels of Scorpio
Scorpio, the most magnetic and intense of all the signs, has the bloodstone as its precious stone. The bloodstone was believed to protect its wearer from ill health and brought both respect and consideration from others. It also guards against deception, strengthening Scorpio's well- known insight into others and their motives. The deep red garnet reflects the passionate, hidden emotions of Scorpio, putting the wearer in touch with the healing springs of their deep feelings and bringing warmth and trust.
