Mrs. Winkler's “Solar Power Supreme: Cardiac Tonic for the Faint-Hearted

July 2022

Copyright © by Judith, 2022

Mrs. Winkler created this mixture for ‘Aquarius Syndrome’ (*see disclaimer). The weak heart, slow, weak pulse…cold extremities, stiffness, fatigue, depression, and sometimes accompanied by very low blood pressure and/or anemia.

It’s Leo time! Both Leo and its sign ruler, Sol, govern the heart. This year, both ‘benefics’, (good guys) Jupiter and Venus, will visit fire signs while Sol is in his domain, the fire sign Leo! Hypothetically,  this is the cosmically perfect time for assisting the weaker heart muscle, and/or cheering the emotionally faint-hearted (these two symptoms often go together!) Lucky we are with so many fine astrological choices in August, most just happening to fall on Sunday, Sol’s day! This allows us to create, first pour, and sample on more than one solar-powered date!

Always obtain permission from your physician (*see disclaimer). Renaissance physicians traditionally used 1, 3, or five herbs for solar remediation. Here, we have five. Personally, I would have added Oat Straw (Avena sativa) to round out the mixture.

1. Obtain white glass jar, 16 oz (will make a great deal of tincture so adjust the Cayenne to purpose!) Fill halfway with an equal mixture of the first four following dried herbs:

   • Hawthorn Berry Powder (leaves OK too). Crataegus monogyne

   • Yarrow  Achillea millefolium

   • Rosemary  Salvia rosemarinus

   • Borage   Borago officinalis

   • A quarter teaspoon of Cayenne powder  Capsicum frutescens

2. Fill the jar with grain alcohol, vodka, or glycerin. (Glycerin may be slightly less effective for extraction of constituents)

3. Stir, cover, and set the jar in a dark place for anywhere from 1-4 weeks. In the last week expose to sunlight for three hours when the Moon is in a fire sign, between one hour after sunrise and noon.

4. Strain.

5. First take when the Moon is in a fire sign.

You can use one date for creating the mixture, and another for the first pour or sampling!

CREATE MIXTURE (six options):

1. SUNDAY, JULY 31st at 3:36 pm Pacific Time (two hours in, 30 minutes out) Use Sun is in Leo, trine Jupiter in Aries!

2. SUNDAY, AUGUST 7th 12:12 am Pacific Time (an hour in, 15 min out). Use Sun in Leo, Moon in Sagittarius! Moon trine Sun on Sunday! Jupiter also trines Leo (sign of the heart) Sun at 15˚ Leo. This is the most concentrated day of the year for Solar Power (and a day on either side!). Additionally, the Moon trines Jupiter (both in fire signs and trining the sign of Leo.) Leo rules the heart, and so does the Sun!

3. SUNDAY, AUGUST 7th, 11:21 am Pacific Time (sunrise to noon perfect!) Moon in Sagittarius trines Sun in Leo.

4. SUNDAY, AUGUST 14th: 8:53 pm Pacific Time Sun, Moon, and Jupiter in fire signs. Moon in Aries trine Venus in Leo! (1-2 hours in, 15 min out)

5. MONDAY, AUGUST 15TH: 3:59 am Pacific Time.  Moon in Aries conjunct Jupiter in Aries, while Sun is in Leo. (Two hours in, 30 min out)

6. TUESDAY, AUGUST 16TH: 7:48 am Pacific Time (two hours in, until Noon!) Moon in Aries trines the Sun in Leo! Also, Tuesdays are compatible with Sol.
