Essential Oils for Astrological Signs

If you would like a departure from commercial perfumes, try essential oils.  But a few words of caution, a very little bit goes a very long way!   Since the molecules are so small, a drop put on your foot can be asborbed all the way to your head within 20 minutes.  Generally, the scent will last about two to three hours, depending on your body's reaction to the oil.  (I keep a few drops on a bit of cotton batting in a small prayer box attached to my day planner and dip my finger onto the cotton briefly for a quick pick-me-up during the day.) 
To create your personal astrological blend, choose oils from the signs that dominate your chart.  Then mix a few drops of each oil into a base of jojoba oil and enjoy.
