In 1998-99, I was living in a remote, conservative state. I learned about natal astrology from reading books in the public library. I managed to find one of those old school astrology masters who could literally read your soul. I never met her in person, one brief phone call and all she knew was my birth data, she had me leave the 14 bucks on her porch. During our phone call consultation, she started asking me very pointed, detailed questions about my parents. I was baffled she could decipher that, she explained how they appeared in my natal chart. I have a T square of Leo Sun opposite 8th house Aqua Saturn, square 4th house Scorpio Neptune. Pisces Moon/Chiron opposes Uranus/Mercury/Pluto, Mars conjunct IC, etc. My mom was addicted to a powerful muscle relaxant before I was born, and it was all I knew growing up. My dad was a narcissist alcoholic, I can spot narcissists a mile away and I find them strangely fascinating. My mom and older sister were addicts all my life, it saved me in the weirdest way. When I was 13, someone offered to inject heroin into my arm, the only reason why I said no was because my sister was in prison due to her heroin addiction, I knew I didn't want to go there. Otherwise I would have said yes because I was so lost. I have empathy for addiction, because in my case if I would have gone there, it would not have been my fault since I had zero guidance in life. Addiction is not always a choice, sometimes it is a manifestation of predatory behavior by others.
Wow, this is really interesting. I have VERY SIMILAR T square of a Leo Sun directly opposite my Saturn in Aquarius squaring my Pluto in Scorpio. My Leo house actually has a stellium of my Sun, Mercury, Venus and Chiron all conj in that T square. But I have a similar type of family dysfunction. Appreciate you sharing this!

My favorite 12 step group is ACA Adult Children of Alcoholics and Dysfunctional Families. Their Big Book teaches reparenting our inner child and the groups are so powerful they recommend 2 years sobriety to handle the depth. Carl Jung talked with Bill Wilson and told him without spirituality, it wouldn't work.
I love ACA!! It has changed my life for the better! I have been going for 11 years now. I still attend NA as well - 16 years clean. The 12 steps are certainly a wonderful script.
It is so needed and so humbling, that the two of you are raw and honest about your own past struggles. You two carry this air of not being judgmental and especially not scaring people, which seems to be a pattern within most institutions and in society. Instead you two offer a beautiful gentle approach to offer suggestions and help people. On top of dependency, people often end up feeling judged and afraid. Which, in my opinion, hinders recovery. Why some may attempt to go at it alone and separate themselves. If the fear and uncomfortably that is already the root of the dependency, than creating more shame and fear while someone is seeking treatment does not help! Thank you guys so much!!! So needed! Cannot express this enough! Tears of beauty and tears of hope and tears of gratitude ran down my cheeks!
this discussion is excellent, I haven't heard much from folks in recovery in reference to astrology and herbology. I have been active in 12-step work since 1989..Thank you for covering these issues, very timely
Adam, soo blown away!! I have A LOT of these!! Glad your discussing this topic. I'm an ex, recovering addict. Struggled many years. Neptune's in my 1st house.. have a Cap moon, & also sun in 6th house, AND also venus, mars in Aries.. in 5th house!! WOW, JUST WOW! 😅🙏 Addiction runs hard in my family. My father passed from an overdose. He was a Pisces rising. Experienced a lot of things as a child I should should of never seen or been through. And I love your wife, I could relate to her so much, like she's speaking my language. ❤
I’m only 25 minutes into this video and I can’t find the words to express how thankful I am for your channel. I can tell this wasn’t easy for you two, truly appreciate you getting uncomfortable and sharing these messages 💝🙏
Thank you, Ashley and Adam❤ I have a few of these signatures in my natal and have struggled with addiction . Thank you for your kind, compassionate and non judgemental words. This has been extremely helpful and I am looking forward to working with recommended plants. Familiar with Bill W, and I am a friend of Jean Kirkpatrick, founder of Women for Sobriety.
It would be amazing if you and Ashley offered private sessions together for those who may benefit from the overlapping of earth and sky. I always love it when you two do a segment together. Thank you both so much for sharing such amazing and needed content!
Truly appreciate this, there are so few forums where problems with addiction can be discussed in such a helpful, open, spiritually insightful, non-shameful way. You guys create and share such profound and healing work, thank you!
Here in B.C I do not know anyone that hasn’t been touched by the opioid crisis in some life altering heartbreaking way. From friends aiding in recovery programs in lower east side Vancouver to friends who have lost siblings to overdose. To having a sibling on the streets myself. It’s everywhere and it’s roots are many and systemic. I have found Gabor Mate’s work incredibly eye opening for anyone looking for extra resources although understanding the depth may truly be beyond us all.
I have everyone of these signatures in my chart. Sun in Aquarius in the 8th, Cancer rising, Moon in Capricorn, Mars conjoined Algol in Taurus in the 11, Saturn (ruling both luminaries) in the 12th, Mercury ruler of 3rd and 12th in Pisces retrograde in the 9th. 5th house Scorpio Mars again conjoined algol in Taurus. Yeah, Grew up in an unstable alcoholic family. ALL of them and I mean ALL of them. My path was the one of protect yourself and push others away. Still trying to overcome that. I was on the path to addiction, but for some reason the amount of repetitive trauma in my life (and maybe the dying once?) was too much and wound up looking back upon the addiction as the problem and not a solution. I have been completely clean for years now, but worry my Son may have picked up on this path. He has recently moved back in with me (@28) and I have hopes to maybe guide him in the ways I was unable to when I was in the thick of it. Wish me luck 🍀 I will have to add that Astrology has been a great help toward unstanding these aspects of myself and I will be forever grateful!
My partner & I have pretty much every single one of these signatures in our charts. We are both Libra rising w Scorpio Venus (hers conjunct Pluto). I have moon conjunct Mars in Leo & she has Moon copresent w Saturn in Pisces- the 6th house. I have Saturn in Pisces as well- trine my Scorpio sun. She has Mars in Virgo in the 12th. We met in recovery & both have addiction in our families. We're doing well now :) Thank you for putting this together & sharing the plant helpers.
Thank you, Adam and Ashley! 💖✨🙏 This was great & I took lots of notes! 🤓 definitely alcoholism and addiction in my family & many signatures in my personal chart, and indeed, I have struggled with alcoholism for years. But I am happy to say that I am 22 days sober now and loving the clarity and freedom from that burden. ♥️ I actually take a Chinese herb called Kudzu, which definitely helps with my alcohol cravings. Next problem to tackle is my food addiction. But 1 step at a time. 😉 Thanks again! 💖✨🙏
I love this subject and information because I think that everyone has been impacted by addiction. We’re all addicted to something, just at different levels of experience. What I mean is that almost anyone that is sick and tired of being sick and tired can benefit from plant medicine.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this video! Ive been searching for such a long time for something remotely connected to what I'm dealing with. I've had eating disorders on and off for the past 17 years(since i was 12, and last july I started falling back into the extremes, Im always going from one extreme to another, the last couple months have been so dark for me. I feel like I have absolutely no control, that it completely controls me and my life, my creative work-passion has been pretty much on hold for months now because its so out of control, Im so scared and anxious it will affect my actual work as well. I feel like i live a double life, one at home in the darkness and one at my part time dream job where im happy and feel so fortunate for. I just don't understand why I self sabotage so bad, its been a constant pattern in my life, I'd isolate myself for years in the past. I know most people dont see eating disorders as addictions, but I am so grateful to Ashley that she actually addressed it as well. Thank you SO SO MUCH! I appreciate you both so much for making this insightful video. I will listen to it couple more times. For few months now Ive been trying to look for signs of this in my chart, and I'm still not sure what it is, maybe its my Chiron in Virgo and 2nd house, or Venus and sun in Taurus, I also have Saturn in 9degrees of Pisces (I'm going through a Saturn return), or maybe its my Uranus conjunct Neptune in 6th house squaring my moon in the 3rd house, and my 4th house ruler is Mars (its in scorpio, and I have jupiter, north node and pluto there). I'm pretty new to astrology so I'm not sure what it is exactly. But thank you from the bottom of my heart for this video! I will definitely try the oatstraw and nettles tonic that Ashley recommended. I'm so grateful to you both! I've been watching your videos for months now, wanting to study astrology and trying to decide between different courses but this video has convinced me, so hopefully when i'll be able to afford it I'll definitely sign up for you 1 year course :) Thank you from the bottom of my heart again! btw I absolutely love your parenting tips series and your planets in profile as well!
Ashley & Adam thank you with gratitude for all that you both gift us sharing your wisdom & insight. Helping us heal our souls with your suggestions of plant medicines & deep insight into our birth chart. Happiness & wellness.
Absolutely amazing! This is such a wonderful, insightful and supportive discussion. Love the knowledge you both have and how you can combine them to educate and provide solutions to those who may need help. Thank you!!!
Love you two; what a rejuvenating conversation to witness. Much hope for our future just in the recognition that this state of mind exists and is relatable. Looking forward to starting your classes soon.
This was really eye opening, child of alcoholics and drug abusers I have so much appreciation for your work Adam and Ashley, I can only imagine how many people you have helped with this one segment to understand why their life has been difficult and most importantly how to go about recognizing it and fixing it, and maybe seeing your own children’s charts, and being able to help them to understand it and get ahead of it before it destroys chunk of your life.
I loved this video. Thank you for the helpful info. My grannie was a Korean herbalist and my mom was a follower of herbal medicine and an avid gardener when she was younger. Both women imparted a love and respect for plants in me since childhood. There’s a book I saw the other day that also references study data and plant intelligence called “Planta Sapiens” by Paco Calvo. You might find it interesting, too. I’m glad more discussion regarding plants and what they contribute to our lives and our planet is part of the information you share on your channel. Thanks again ❤
Elenbaas Squared 0_o I can’t thank you both enough for this video - your synergy as experts is remarkable. Looking forward to future herb-astro teamups!
It seems these days that most people have addiction and related patterns in their family. As an alanon in several recovery programs, I can spot the patterns of addiction and family systems trauma in an instant. It's great to see an integrated perspective for additional supports. Thanks ❤
I love that Ashley is here in this topic. She's like an angel. I discovered my best friend has cocaine addiction, pluto in the 7th house cusp, moon and mercury in cancer square saturn, family with mental issues. Sun in the 1st and lots of planets in the 6th, neptune and uranus in the 8th. I wish I can help her if she wants to. Listening carefully.
So helpful, informative, and encouraging (hallmarks of the channel, BTW). I love when Ashley is on, as her suggestions are simple, concise, and communicated to both rational mind and intuition. It's easy to get overwhelmed by too much information, so the way Ashley offers a few safe and accessible choices gives me confidence to pick what seems right for me. So perfect for people with addictive family patterns! Also want to acknowledge how valuable both of you being candid about your lives is. True embodiment of the transformation possible without sugar coating the work and commitment necessary. Adam, though you said you only scratched the surface of this topic, your general overview (and your caveats thereto) was so validating and insightful. I didn't have the benefit of astrology when I was compelled to dig deep to find out what the heck was going on in my family and life; you have helped me immensely since then! I especially find your diplomatic and wise approach to archetypes a rich source for contemplation. Deepest gratitude to you both! Among many other "challenging" aspects, I'll just mention that I was born on a full moon eclipse in Scorpio (6th), conjunct Neptune and South Node; opposite Mars; trining Lilith, and square to MH. Bit rough. 😄 The Black Cohosh recommended for the Scorpio eclipse has been great!
This was really powerful and really needed. A perfect episode for the Saturn in Pisces time we are in. I hope even more supportive structures come into place as there seems to be a need.
This was amazing, thank you! I’ve just ordered allll the herbs and look forward to hearing what they have to say/working with them 😊really appreciate the high quality info you’re both sharing for free 🙏 it’s really generous and kind of you and I’m sure will help a lot of people!
Wow! You two are just brilliant together. Thank you both for your insights. Its so great to learn about some of the plant teachers/helpers/elders! There are patterns of addiction present in my family and I defininately have three of the four birth chart signatures that you mentioned for that in the family.
I really appreciate this segment. As I looked at my chart with the moon and forth house situations, it's not surprising that I was such a raging active alcoholic. I am curious as to what would be happening in the master class related to this particular topic. And, or, would you be interested in doing a outside reefer segment of session of teaching?
Ty both for your compassionate awareness. I definitely recognize some of these potential signatures in my own chart. Most resonate, is having Uranus in the 12th, addiction in my family & environment, in childhood, brought shocking events that destabilized everything. Another important influence was witnessing their recovery.
My dad was a smoker who struggled most of his life with that addiction - he always said if he knew then (he started smoking at age 18, and both his parents were smokers) what he knows now, he never would have started. He tried all sorts of things to discourage us kids from starting smoking, but both my sisters did smoke - my younger sister started smoking cigarettes at 10, pot at 12, and at 13 had ventured into various harder drugs and had to be high every day. She had a mysterious little pillow on her bed with a smiley face on one side and strange black marks on the other side. Eventually I found out that the black marks were where she secretly cried into her pillow at night! That was such a metaphor for her life. Anyway, she went away on a church youth trip to another state because a boy she was interested in was going, and she took her mescaline with her....During that event, she said she "got "conviction and flushed the drugs down the toilet and out of my life." That was quite a relief, although it was interesting to observe that religion had become her drug of choice in many ways. She even went on to marry a Baptist minister. Meanwhile, as I observed my father's struggles, I resolved never to open myself to the potential of a substance taking control of me in that way - I much prefer to be in charge of myself, so I also avoid over-indulging in alcohol. My way of coping as a teenager was to lose myself in books and writing poetry. If things became overwhelming, I escaped by going to sleep - when I woke up, I always found a fresh perspective and the energy to tackle issues. I don't know where the idea came from, but I always held a deep conviction that I could generate any desired sensation or experience in my own body, without the use of substances. When I did the Avatar course (from Star's Edge - the work of Harry Palmer), we learned a process that leads to a blissful, Aware Will state that they playfully refer to as being "puddled". People who have experienced pot say it's very much like being high. My own experience was very much of being "blissed out", and I know I can use the tools of that process any time I might feel like I am "stuck". 🥳
This is amazingly helpful you guys, thanks so much- I've thankfully not suffered addiction myself, but have been closely surrounded with it my whole life. It's an incredibly tough, real issue. I welcome any and all ideas!!♡
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you 🙏 Hubby is a Cancer Sun and I'm Cancer rising. We sure have some fun charts 😳 both with family addiction, both with current addictions ourselves, and we have been addicted to each other since we were 14 years old. We are so codependent, we literally prop each other up. I appreciate the insights AND the tools! I will try them 🙏
Woah. I have Aries 4th house and Mars Cancer in 7th and Uranus in Scorpio. It’s funny that I’ve never thought of myself as affected by addiction but I grew up in a Fundamentalist Pentecostal family and that was my parents’ way of escaping their dysfunctional families, at least one of them affected by alcohol.
Adam and Ashley, I almost didn’t watch this as I thought it wouldn’t be relevant to me…but you’ve completely blew my mind… I think I’m one of those people who didn’t realise they were children of addiction. When Ashley described the lived consequences I completely related. I’m making a cup of chamomile now! Thank you both ❤
Hey Ashley and Adam! Good to see you both again. I really enjoyed this, it was really interesting, it didn't even occur to me just how important it is. Generation after generation!! People use don't realise. Wow, I will let you off for bringing a tear to my eye 😉 🌻 😎 🙏
I'm only a little way in bit this is already crackking open some important topics. I can't be "nice" to my husband the last few years. We talk to each other like rik and vyvyan from the young ones. My dad was violent alcoholic, my mum was just munted with weed all the time, but also undiagnosed autistic with massive auditory sensory issues. I'm the first generation to understand that about myself and my kids. I can slowly understand her at least, but wayyy off forgiveness. Now i have physical issues that require pain management, i take meds responsible, not even enough to not be in pain. But i still feel like a failure for taking drugs every day. My pain keeps me isolated though. That shows up as moon in the 12th for 2 of my 3 kids, and the other has moon in pisces. Neptune in my 12th. Everything your saying around 20 minute mark Ashley, so profoundly validating. You're truely beautiful.
Thank you both. ❣️ You’re so refreshing informative and easy to understand. Your beauty radiates inside out. Thank you ❣️❣️ Many blessings back to you ❣️
How would a daily routine look of taking these herbs? For instance, is it ok to take Nettles and Oatstraw every day, and say, Motherwort daily as well? Are there any that you shouldn't take together, and, are any contraindicated with taking an SSRI for anxiety? Thank you both for addressing this topic.
Thank you both for sharing this. It explains so much. #grabbed, use if you like. I have a few of these placements. My Mars is in the 10th house, but the sign of Cancer. My father was a Cancerian and abusive in various ways to some of us but not all. He seemed to pick and choose who got what up until I was about 9 when a new neighbor became a family friend and stepped in.
I've typed and deleted twice because excessively amounts of too long like a novel plus the desperation in my comment and the novel and how much it just was out of control and such. However I'm just going to say as little as I can possibly okay, I'm recently a subscriber since about two months give or take I resonate easily with your channel the language in which you speak about what your channels about and the feel the vibe whatever that I can feel through and the calm of it it's not judgy it's not freely and fancy and all access b******* that distorts and takes away from whatever it's like selling out kind kind of stuff it's not like that on this channel and I appreciate that the most I can tell whether it's just a luer fishing for another to be feeding madness of the mind and I promise you all I don't need any extra help with madness of my mind or with FUCKIN up my own shit period. Honestly I am sure this is true for all others aswell. But I'm not choosing to speak for anyone else ok, I really just don't want to do more than to try to keep this short and without becoming a novel that I am freaking emotionally begging for help but completely coming off like a fuckin spaz or mental freakshow making zero understandable sentences or anything to make sense of my whole comment etc.. ok I hope you get the gist from what I just described at least enough to be able to help guide ,refer I can't even decide the words to use for what I'm attempting to speak ,ask or ... Have a emotional MENTAL break and on public forum for fuck sake. Also I swear sometimes I try and keep it to a minimum for the most part howeverI'm just making sure that it's not intended or done because I'm trying to offend anyone or because I have disregarded that it may or may not be what somebody is offended by I assure you I promise that's not it I just need understanding enough to to give me the room to just let this be okay enough especially since I'm saying this right now specifically on purpose because that's not my intention to offend anyone okay I hope that you understand whoever May read this and whom is that this channel was created by. Please and thank you. I'm sorry I have this such weird comment . But I'm seriously not kidding how normal and used to it the response is and I can not tell you how no fucks that affect me from the freaking blessings in disguise that helped me in grasping what necessary reality awareness of which is fuckin badass and magic and absolutely the other end of my personal spectrum that has becomebasically like my drug addiction had been has been as well periodically it's benefited me it's been a best friend it has given a way to express myself without hesitation and the confidence that has assisted with that and finding my voice to do that and at age of 14 I'm not sure if I hadn't at that point found that and it had been no matter how extremely how the f*** no would I ever find that being such a thing if it were in fact my own children.ok and that being of any kind anywhere any at all my gosh I cannot even stand the thought of that and which I experienced or had done for many of my kids and they're not under the age of 16 okay so and they're still honestly babies they're my babies I'm that Mom but definitely worse because I'm such a freak show sensitivesomething or other that needs more than just the drug treatment assistance and structure and helping in that boost of such things that I do know what treatment can be and can have as that boost however it's something that while I didn't know until I knew along the way and this does explain as well as this Awakening and such explains so much more and if I just let myself snuff it in and hold it in and think nobody's going to listen anyway I honestly figure it's usually the way that it is anyways so why not ask bag whatever make a fool of myself and what's it going to do that it hasn't already done anyways I'm used to that and what if it happens to be on point and the right door?? Periodically sometimes it is that one. Thank you for bearing with me and allowing me to be this whatever it's called I don't even know but please know that I adore this for all that are just anywhere and that will be because this stuff is what has helped build and at least keep me hanging on in areas when when it was like I was hanging in midair not even feed on the edge of the cliff.to be brutally honest. before I go I just will share that I remembered this thought when I was about two or three to myself for whatever reason I didn't know but I remember it and I just get it now, I just wanted everybody to be ok. That's a thought that went through my little teeny tiny toddler mind in a moment that sticks in upfront in my brain continuously. It's just something that included not just who was right there it included every witch Way and whom it did not have limits I know that by the feel of it it was not limited to being a my family kind of thing I it was a just wished everybody could be okay I wish everyone could be ok. .ok. . I appreciate y'all putting up with this on the comments. . I consider deleting later but I'm not really because of any other reason except for the automatic embedded response that I'd had , embarrassed to be weird or freaking, this I don't know what I am and I am not with support of family that is healthy by no means. .. it's like I'm THIS thing that can be getting this look in the eye's glimmering as I'm being some fuckin go to for something that has been a thing as well through my whole entire life when it comes to family related as far as my mom and my brother and myself and not having any other option but standing alone on my own as far as it goes with my own truth and that setting me free and giving me the ability at least two not shoes that and the depth of that abyss that hurts and it is tormenting and it's just not worth it anymore to fool myself and yes I still get caught up periodically but it's not even close to anyting it had been not at all okay and I'm thankful for that however it is part of why I am right now in this desperate mode asking for help it or directions to go for that for someone like myself I am just me I have two cats I'm recently on this program for homeless prevention okay I am still on it until it is at the point to go off of it whatever that is I don't know but I'm just keeping it real I have Medicaid I get f****** food stamps okay I got hired on the spot at a job over a month ago and I've called consistently and they had said they wanted to hire everybody that they needed to and then we trained at the same time while I don't know that this is something it takes this long before so is it the universe just making it be obviously not going to happen because it's not going to be the the most appropriate?? OMFG yes I've personally done what it is that we all end up learning when applying for jobs and the protocol of which is the thing I'm 46 years old yes I'm not going to sit here and say all this and without it being something that f***yes I have gone about things appropriately I know how it works I do have abilities in interviews I'm in on paper are on the computer the applications is usually the obstacle I got hired I couldn't believe it was a freaking miracle it's been a minute okay and I am desperate because I know I need the treatment the structure through that also what it is that is more than just what drug treatment has equipped for I just don't know if that exists for needs of someone like myself am even sure what to do anymore exactly it's like a yes and a no because discipline a and a structured continuous daily thing or process or whatever has never been enough besides when I was pregnant and I could say that I never felt better except for when I wasn't vomiting every day after the first five months okay I'm what I mean is is there anything for someone that is like myself
I’m not sure this would warrant its own full video w/ plant helpers, but it would be super interesting to hear your insight into the astrology involved in mundane kleptomania, or other trickster-esque tendencies…
My fathers addiction broke our family couple of times- I have Moon conj. Neptune and ASC at 27° Capricorn, he has Moon in Capricorn and most of all Pluto conj. Uranus and Sun in Virgo opposite Saturn in Pisces.... I have been moving to every 3 years since I was born and There was a lot of breaking up and and uniting between me, my sister and mom and my dad because of his alcohol addiction. My mom was really cold and didnt show emotions because of that, her dad was also alcoholic and runing away from him she met my father... I have Aries in 4th house with Saturn conj SN in Aries- Mars is conj. My Mercury in Taurus at 24° (so trine with The moon)- I was in horrible depression and falling into addiction and the remendy for me was and is painting and learning about ezoterics. I also have them trine my Jupiter at 16° Cap. My Venus is in Gemini conj. My Sun so mutual reception with Mercury.... so nature, long walks with my dog, painting and learning metaphysics and astrology is healing me from the strong family addiction impact on my psyche..
Neptune in Pisces (my 7th H) has been squaring my natal moon in Gemini (10th H) on / off for 3 years. I became a daily drunk just to get through my grueling day job. During this same time I was in a disillusioned relationship. Almost as if on cue, when the square started opening up more than 3°, I stopped drinking cold turkey and I broke up with my boyfriend. This was just this past February. I've never been so happy for a transit to end, IN MY LIFE! Well, except maybe my Pluto square 10 years ago. 😅🙌🏼💯🎉👏🏻
Wow - Ashely totally described me! Both parents alcoholic - i became one too and have sobriety now but still experience all the behaviour traits and lack of regulation - even my posture - my shoulders are rounded!!! I also thought that neptune in the fourth can indicate if badly aspected. I have both sun and mercury (ruler of my 4th) in the 12th… so I guess i was already born an alcoholic before i even popped out of the womb! Thank you for doing this - i love your utubes… :)
Natal Pluto conjunct moon 4H 6H Neptune natal In recovery(now 48yo)…since end of Saturn return AND Pluto went out of natal 6H by transit where I have natal Neptune 6H. I do feel I was destined to have this addiction/alcoholic signature AND so grateful I did not die! Sex, drugs and rock n roll isn’t sexy on a new mother(got pregnant 1 day out of rehab, 1st time!) Even in Vedic it was a 16 year Rahu in Scorpio transit that ended RIGHT as I finally got sober, unbeknownst to me!!!! Didn’t know about aya back then but wish I had. Deep trauma(natal Pluto conjunct (1degree away) moon 4H, was of course the root. I am alllll about plants for rooting out the trauma, ancestral as well as this life. I feel so good now but I still want to do aya. Xo Thanks for doing what you do and congrats Ashley on 4 years. Starseeds are attacked for our light. That is my belief. I now channel and had a massive kundalini awakening 4th time I meditated!! I was not meant to stay an addict. LOVE astrology for showing me this!!!! AFTER I got sober though. 🤣
My son is half white, half Asian. He started taking free native fauna/sustainable gardening courses at his local college. He and his wife made a little greenhouse, etc. One day, in March of 2021, he asked me to bring him some wood so he could make an above ground garden bed. We spent the day constructing and planting it, my son told me that he decided to take up gardening to deal with his anger. The day ended, as I set out to drive home, over the radio they announced that a young man had targeted and shot up Asian massage parlors that day, because of his anger. I could not help but cringe at the irony of it all. My son dealt with his anger by picking up a gardening trowel in order to nurture something good.
Totally enjoying this! I have a Mars in Cancer and my whole family has issues with addiction. I do have issues with trust. Can Motherwort be combined with a sweeter tea or lemon and honey to make it more palatable? I’m part way in and looking forward to the rest to help my son. Oh my gosh! I have Saturn in my 1st, too! My son has a plot of planets in his 5th and 🌒 in Cancer in the 12th! Where can I get Oatstraw and Nettles?
#grabbed oh maaaaaan TW: Mentions abuse. I have ... drum roll ... Merc and Moon conjunct at 0/1 Scorpio, and my IC is 0 Scorpio. I also have Pluto and Venus in this Scorpio stellium in the 4th house. My mom is an alcoholic, it's hugely impacted my life. I'm still in contact with her, but most of the rest of my family are not. She was psychologically and emotionally and even physically abusive when drinking. Pluto steamrolled my Venus when I was 4, this is when she started going to rehab which lasted for years. Jupiter in Pisces in the 8th house is trine my venus, my mom's sun sign is anaretic degree of Pisces. It's like she doesn't even see boundaries to my mind and is always swimming in and out with basically zero awareness of how she has hurt me. Cancer in the 12th house, family to me has always seemed unattainable, dispersive, traumatic, institutionalised. My paternal grandma was also an abusive alcoholic who had experienced incest and s*xual abuse apparently, and other family members have been addicted to narcotics, pain pills, weed, etc. I'm not substance addicted but have ... Mars exalted at 27/28 Capricorn in the 6th house lol. So Workaholism is an easy mood-fixer for me
Someone I know who is hoplelessly addicted to opium since teen years and now 36 with several unsuccesful rehab treatment in the bagage: • VIRGO rising and ruler mercury in PiSCES • Saturn in 4th squaring mercury in Pisces • Aries SUN in 8th house • Mars\Neptune conjunction in 5th squaring the SUN in the 8th house. This person is VERY confused about himself, the relationship he is in, and the overall direction of his life.
Does moon conjunct south node ( Ketu) be considered a malefic?? Pluto in 4th would be considered malefic ofcourse … Saturn and mars in cancer- ofcourse that’s debilitation. Uranus in scorpio -good point raised on bonding style ! Excellent discussion ..thank you for sharing your wisdom.
Thanks for this video. My oldest is Capricorn opposed moon, my middle Uranus conjunct moon and my third has an 8th house moon. Would you ever consider doing a reading where you look at all three and let me know what my blind spots etc may be as a mom?
In 1998-99, I was living in a remote, conservative state. I learned about natal astrology from reading books in the public library. I managed to find one of those old school astrology masters who could literally read your soul. I never met her in person, one brief phone call and all she knew was my birth data, she had me leave the 14 bucks on her porch. During our phone call consultation, she started asking me very pointed, detailed questions about my parents. I was baffled she could decipher that, she explained how they appeared in my natal chart. I have a T square of Leo Sun opposite 8th house Aqua Saturn, square 4th house Scorpio Neptune. Pisces Moon/Chiron opposes Uranus/Mercury/Pluto, Mars conjunct IC, etc. My mom was addicted to a powerful muscle relaxant before I was born, and it was all I knew growing up. My dad was a narcissist alcoholic, I can spot narcissists a mile away and I find them strangely fascinating. My mom and older sister were addicts all my life, it saved me in the weirdest way. When I was 13, someone offered to inject heroin into my arm, the only reason why I said no was because my sister was in prison due to her heroin addiction, I knew I didn't want to go there. Otherwise I would have said yes because I was so lost. I have empathy for addiction, because in my case if I would have gone there, it would not have been my fault since I had zero guidance in life. Addiction is not always a choice, sometimes it is a manifestation of predatory behavior by others.
Woah that's powerful insight.
Wow, this is really interesting. I have VERY SIMILAR T square of a Leo Sun directly opposite my Saturn in Aquarius squaring my Pluto in Scorpio. My Leo house actually has a stellium of my Sun, Mercury, Venus and Chiron all conj in that T square. But I have a similar type of family dysfunction. Appreciate you sharing this!

My favorite 12 step group is ACA Adult Children of Alcoholics and Dysfunctional Families. Their Big Book teaches reparenting our inner child and the groups are so powerful they recommend 2 years sobriety to handle the depth. Carl Jung talked with Bill Wilson and told him without spirituality, it wouldn't work.
ACOA has saved my life!
I love ACA!! It has changed my life for the better! I have been going for 11 years now. I still attend NA as well - 16 years clean. The 12 steps are certainly a wonderful script.
@@Tuxedo913 Yess!!
I love when Ashley joins in and shares her wisdom. What a beautiful duo. Thank you Adam and Ashley 🙏
Finally. Freaking. Finally. Very few astrologers address this.
It is so needed and so humbling, that the two of you are raw and honest about your own past struggles. You two carry this air of not being judgmental and especially not scaring people, which seems to be a pattern within most institutions and in society. Instead you two offer a beautiful gentle approach to offer suggestions and help people. On top of dependency, people often end up feeling judged and afraid. Which, in my opinion, hinders recovery. Why some may attempt to go at it alone and separate themselves. If the fear and uncomfortably that is already the root of the dependency, than creating more shame and fear while someone is seeking treatment does not help! Thank you guys so much!!! So needed! Cannot express this enough! Tears of beauty and tears of hope and tears of gratitude ran down my cheeks!
this discussion is excellent, I haven't heard much from folks in recovery in reference to astrology and herbology. I have been active in 12-step work since 1989..Thank you for covering these issues, very timely
1987 here. Congratulations @carlanegri1102 keep coming back.
8:59 to 9am is the longest minute in Central Time known to Man. Love you Adam! Love you Astro Fam
Adam, soo blown away!!
I have A LOT of these!!
Glad your discussing this topic. I'm an ex, recovering addict. Struggled many years. Neptune's in my 1st house.. have a Cap moon, & also sun in 6th house, AND also venus, mars in Aries.. in 5th house!! WOW, JUST WOW! 😅🙏
Addiction runs hard in my family. My father passed from an overdose. He was a Pisces rising. Experienced a lot of things as a child I should should of never seen or been through. And I love your wife, I could relate to her so much, like she's speaking my language. ❤
I’m only 25 minutes into this video and I can’t find the words to express how thankful I am for your channel. I can tell this wasn’t easy for you two, truly appreciate you getting uncomfortable and sharing these messages 💝🙏
Thank you, Ashley and Adam❤
I have a few of these signatures in my natal and have struggled with addiction . Thank you for your kind, compassionate and non judgemental words. This has been extremely helpful and I am looking forward to working with recommended plants.
Familiar with Bill W, and I am a friend of Jean Kirkpatrick, founder of Women for Sobriety.
Great info Adam! I vote Ashley write a book, she has so much knowledge on plant medicine.
It would be amazing if you and Ashley offered private sessions together for those who may benefit from the overlapping of earth and sky. I always love it when you two do a segment together. Thank you both so much for sharing such amazing and needed content!
Truly appreciate this, there are so few forums where problems with addiction can be discussed in such a helpful, open, spiritually insightful, non-shameful way. You guys create and share such profound and healing work, thank you!
Here in B.C I do not know anyone that hasn’t been touched by the opioid crisis in some life altering heartbreaking way. From friends aiding in recovery programs in lower east side Vancouver to friends who have lost siblings to overdose. To having a sibling on the streets myself. It’s everywhere and it’s roots are many and systemic. I have found Gabor Mate’s work incredibly eye opening for anyone looking for extra resources although understanding the depth may truly be beyond us all.
Your wife is so spot on!! ❤ Thank you both so much!!😀
I have everyone of these signatures in my chart. Sun in Aquarius in the 8th, Cancer rising, Moon in Capricorn, Mars conjoined Algol in Taurus in the 11, Saturn (ruling both luminaries) in the 12th, Mercury ruler of 3rd and 12th in Pisces retrograde in the 9th. 5th house Scorpio Mars again conjoined algol in Taurus. Yeah, Grew up in an unstable alcoholic family. ALL of them and I mean ALL of them. My path was the one of protect yourself and push others away. Still trying to overcome that. I was on the path to addiction, but for some reason the amount of repetitive trauma in my life (and maybe the dying once?) was too much and wound up looking back upon the addiction as the problem and not a solution. I have been completely clean for years now, but worry my Son may have picked up on this path. He has recently moved back in with me (@28) and I have hopes to maybe guide him in the ways I was unable to when I was in the thick of it. Wish me luck 🍀 I will have to add that Astrology has been a great help toward unstanding these aspects of myself and I will be forever grateful!
My partner & I have pretty much every single one of these signatures in our charts. We are both Libra rising w Scorpio Venus (hers conjunct Pluto). I have moon conjunct Mars in Leo & she has Moon copresent w Saturn in Pisces- the 6th house. I have Saturn in Pisces as well- trine my Scorpio sun. She has Mars in Virgo in the 12th.
We met in recovery & both have addiction in our families. We're doing well now :) Thank you for putting this together & sharing the plant helpers.
Thank you, Adam and Ashley! 💖✨🙏 This was great & I took lots of notes! 🤓 definitely alcoholism and addiction in my family & many signatures in my personal chart, and indeed, I have struggled with alcoholism for years. But I am happy to say that I am 22 days sober now and loving the clarity and freedom from that burden. ♥️ I actually take a Chinese herb called Kudzu, which definitely helps with my alcohol cravings.
Next problem to tackle is my food addiction. But 1 step at a time. 😉 Thanks again! 💖✨🙏
All the best to you and 22 - I guess 23 now 😉- days. Congratulations! I hope you get to celebrate each win one day at a time.
@@sheilamariec.2664 Awww thank you so much!! 🥰✨🙏 yes this morning is 24!! 🙌🏻👏🏻
Priceless teachings today. I am grateful.
I love this subject and information because I think that everyone has been impacted by addiction. We’re all addicted to something, just at different levels of experience.
What I mean is that almost anyone that is sick and tired of being sick and tired can benefit from plant medicine.
Deeply appreciate this talk - so rich and informative. You both are amazing and your work so impactful. Thank you.
Omg this was so helpful! I was literally like are they talking to me??? I needed this message so much and I love you Ashley you are so amazing!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this video! Ive been searching for such a long time for something remotely connected to what I'm dealing with. I've had eating disorders on and off for the past 17 years(since i was 12, and last july I started falling back into the extremes, Im always going from one extreme to another, the last couple months have been so dark for me. I feel like I have absolutely no control, that it completely controls me and my life, my creative work-passion has been pretty much on hold for months now because its so out of control, Im so scared and anxious it will affect my actual work as well. I feel like i live a double life, one at home in the darkness and one at my part time dream job where im happy and feel so fortunate for. I just don't understand why I self sabotage so bad, its been a constant pattern in my life, I'd isolate myself for years in the past. I know most people dont see eating disorders as addictions, but I am so grateful to Ashley that she actually addressed it as well. Thank you SO SO MUCH! I appreciate you both so much for making this insightful video. I will listen to it couple more times. For few months now Ive been trying to look for signs of this in my chart, and I'm still not sure what it is, maybe its my Chiron in Virgo and 2nd house, or Venus and sun in Taurus, I also have Saturn in 9degrees of Pisces (I'm going through a Saturn return), or maybe its my Uranus conjunct Neptune in 6th house squaring my moon in the 3rd house, and my 4th house ruler is Mars (its in scorpio, and I have jupiter, north node and pluto there). I'm pretty new to astrology so I'm not sure what it is exactly. But thank you from the bottom of my heart for this video! I will definitely try the oatstraw and nettles tonic that Ashley recommended. I'm so grateful to you both! I've been watching your videos for months now, wanting to study astrology and trying to decide between different courses but this video has convinced me, so hopefully when i'll be able to afford it I'll definitely sign up for you 1 year course :) Thank you from the bottom of my heart again! btw I absolutely love your parenting tips series and your planets in profile as well!
Ashley & Adam thank you with gratitude for all that you both gift us sharing your wisdom & insight. Helping us heal our souls with your suggestions of plant medicines & deep insight into our birth chart. Happiness & wellness.
Absolutely amazing! This is such a wonderful, insightful and supportive discussion. Love the knowledge you both have and how you can combine them to educate and provide solutions to those who may need help. Thank you!!!
Love you two; what a rejuvenating conversation to witness. Much hope for our future just in the recognition that this state of mind exists and is relatable.
Looking forward to starting your classes soon.
This was really eye opening, child of alcoholics and drug abusers I have so much appreciation for your work Adam and Ashley, I can only imagine how many people you have helped with this one segment to understand why their life has been difficult and most importantly how to go about recognizing it and fixing it, and maybe seeing your own children’s charts, and being able to help them to understand it and get ahead of it before it destroys chunk of your life.
I loved this video. Thank you for the helpful info. My grannie was a Korean herbalist and my mom was a follower of herbal medicine and an avid gardener when she was younger. Both women imparted a love and respect for plants in me since childhood. There’s a book I saw the other day that also references study data and plant intelligence called “Planta Sapiens” by Paco Calvo. You might find it interesting, too. I’m glad more discussion regarding plants and what they contribute to our lives and our planet is part of the information you share on your channel. Thanks again ❤
Elenbaas Squared 0_o I can’t thank you both enough for this video - your synergy as experts is remarkable. Looking forward to future herb-astro teamups!
This was amazing! I loved it! I use plant medicine and it truly was a game changer for me! ❤❤❤
It seems these days that most people have addiction and related patterns in their family. As an alanon in several recovery programs, I can spot the patterns of addiction and family systems trauma in an instant. It's great to see an integrated perspective for additional supports. Thanks ❤
I love that Ashley is here in this topic. She's like an angel.
I discovered my best friend has cocaine addiction, pluto in the 7th house cusp, moon and mercury in cancer square saturn, family with mental issues. Sun in the 1st and lots of planets in the 6th, neptune and uranus in the 8th.
I wish I can help her if she wants to. Listening carefully.
So helpful, informative, and encouraging (hallmarks of the channel, BTW).
I love when Ashley is on, as her suggestions are simple, concise, and communicated to both rational mind and intuition. It's easy to get overwhelmed by too much information, so the way Ashley offers a few safe and accessible choices gives me confidence to pick what seems right for me. So perfect for people with addictive family patterns!
Also want to acknowledge how valuable both of you being candid about your lives is. True embodiment of the transformation possible without sugar coating the work and commitment necessary.
Adam, though you said you only scratched the surface of this topic, your general overview (and your caveats thereto) was so validating and insightful. I didn't have the benefit of astrology when I was compelled to dig deep to find out what the heck was going on in my family and life; you have helped me immensely since then! I especially find your diplomatic and wise approach to archetypes a rich source for contemplation.
Deepest gratitude to you both!
Among many other "challenging" aspects, I'll just mention that I was born on a full moon eclipse in Scorpio (6th), conjunct Neptune and South Node; opposite Mars; trining Lilith, and square to MH. Bit rough. 😄 The Black Cohosh recommended for the Scorpio eclipse has been great!
So very helpful and insightful. Thank you both! What a great team you are💛
Good thing I'm not in denial anymore. Moon in capricorn sun in Cancer with Mars in 4th house. 😅❤ love you both so much, nailed it Thank you
This applies not only to families where addiction was present, sadly. Thanks for the beneficial information!
This was really powerful and really needed. A perfect episode for the Saturn in Pisces time we are in. I hope even more supportive structures come into place as there seems to be a need.
T-square between sun with moon opposite Saturn in 3rd-6th-12th house. Alcoholic at 12… now doing good but i think it will take a life to heal abuse
Excellent video. I love the way Ashley speaks about plants❤
This was amazing, thank you! I’ve just ordered allll the herbs and look forward to hearing what they have to say/working with them 😊really appreciate the high quality info you’re both sharing for free 🙏 it’s really generous and kind of you and I’m sure will help a lot of people!
Wow! You two are just brilliant together. Thank you both for your insights. Its so great to learn about some of the plant teachers/helpers/elders! There are patterns of addiction present in my family and I defininately have three of the four birth chart signatures that you mentioned for that in the family.
Your work has been great Adam, I think this is one of my favourites! thank you so much
Beautifully shared. Thank you. Adam & Ashley
This was great. It certainly rang true with my experience in life. And I love seeing you and your wife doing these talks together. 😊
🙏🙏🙏 Thank you for making this episode Adam and Ashley.🙏🙏🙏
I really appreciate this segment. As I looked at my chart with the moon and forth house situations, it's not surprising that I was such a raging active alcoholic. I am curious as to what would be happening in the master class related to this particular topic. And, or, would you be interested in doing a outside reefer segment of session of teaching?
Thankyou. I have been struggling with this for a while now
Ty both for your compassionate awareness. I definitely recognize some of these potential signatures in my own chart. Most resonate, is having Uranus in the 12th, addiction in my family & environment, in childhood, brought shocking events that destabilized everything. Another important influence was witnessing their recovery.
Wow, since i've connected more with my garden and started fertilizing organicly Nettle have appear. This is amazing.
Thanks, you two! This was one of my most favorite episodes!!
Thank you... Appreciate your precious time...
My dad was a smoker who struggled most of his life with that addiction - he always said if he knew then (he started smoking at age 18, and both his parents were smokers) what he knows now, he never would have started. He tried all sorts of things to discourage us kids from starting smoking, but both my sisters did smoke - my younger sister started smoking cigarettes at 10, pot at 12, and at 13 had ventured into various harder drugs and had to be high every day. She had a mysterious little pillow on her bed with a smiley face on one side and strange black marks on the other side. Eventually I found out that the black marks were where she secretly cried into her pillow at night! That was such a metaphor for her life. Anyway, she went away on a church youth trip to another state because a boy she was interested in was going, and she took her mescaline with her....During that event, she said she "got "conviction and flushed the drugs down the toilet and out of my life." That was quite a relief, although it was interesting to observe that religion had become her drug of choice in many ways. She even went on to marry a Baptist minister.
Meanwhile, as I observed my father's struggles, I resolved never to open myself to the potential of a substance taking control of me in that way - I much prefer to be in charge of myself, so I also avoid over-indulging in alcohol. My way of coping as a teenager was to lose myself in books and writing poetry. If things became overwhelming, I escaped by going to sleep - when I woke up, I always found a fresh perspective and the energy to tackle issues.
I don't know where the idea came from, but I always held a deep conviction that I could generate any desired sensation or experience in my own body, without the use of substances. When I did the Avatar course (from Star's Edge - the work of Harry Palmer), we learned a process that leads to a blissful, Aware Will state that they playfully refer to as being "puddled". People who have experienced pot say it's very much like being high. My own experience was very much of being "blissed out", and I know I can use the tools of that process any time I might feel like I am "stuck". 🥳
This is amazingly helpful you guys, thanks so much- I've thankfully not suffered addiction myself, but have been closely surrounded with it my whole life. It's an incredibly tough, real issue. I welcome any and all ideas!!♡
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you 🙏
Hubby is a Cancer Sun and I'm Cancer rising. We sure have some fun charts 😳 both with family addiction, both with current addictions ourselves, and we have been addicted to each other since we were 14 years old. We are so codependent, we literally prop each other up. I appreciate the insights AND the tools! I will try them 🙏
So informative interesting and well done! Thank you!
Yes, please do a masterclass series on this.
Wonderful, thank you!!! Loved what you were saying from minute 19:00, Ashley!
Woah. I have Aries 4th house and Mars Cancer in 7th and Uranus in Scorpio. It’s funny that I’ve never thought of myself as affected by addiction but I grew up in a Fundamentalist Pentecostal family and that was my parents’ way of escaping their dysfunctional families, at least one of them affected by alcohol.
This talk was insightful and reassuring. I appreciate you both for addressing unspoken patterns.
Highly accurate and deeply clarifying💜
Adam and Ashley, I almost didn’t watch this as I thought it wouldn’t be relevant to me…but you’ve completely blew my mind…
I think I’m one of those people who didn’t realise they were children of addiction. When Ashley described the lived consequences I completely related. I’m making a cup of chamomile now! Thank you both ❤
this was soo informative and healing to hear ❤
This was so helpful! Thank you Adam and Ashley ❤so insightful!
Thank you so much Adam and Ashley
Love from Australia ❤❤
This is gold! Thank you! 💛
Thankyou, this was very informative and helpful.
Hey Ashley and Adam! Good to see you both again. I really enjoyed this, it was really interesting, it didn't even occur to me just how important it is. Generation after generation!! People use don't realise. Wow, I will let you off for bringing a tear to my eye 😉 🌻 😎 🙏
I'm only a little way in bit this is already crackking open some important topics. I can't be "nice" to my husband the last few years. We talk to each other like rik and vyvyan from the young ones. My dad was violent alcoholic, my mum was just munted with weed all the time, but also undiagnosed autistic with massive auditory sensory issues.
I'm the first generation to understand that about myself and my kids. I can slowly understand her at least, but wayyy off forgiveness.
Now i have physical issues that require pain management, i take meds responsible, not even enough to not be in pain. But i still feel like a failure for taking drugs every day. My pain keeps me isolated though. That shows up as moon in the 12th for 2 of my 3 kids, and the other has moon in pisces. Neptune in my 12th.
Everything your saying around 20 minute mark Ashley, so profoundly validating. You're truely beautiful.
I love this so much! Thank you Ashley & Adam 🌿🌌
Thank you both. ❣️ You’re so refreshing informative and easy to understand. Your beauty radiates inside out.
Thank you ❣️❣️
Many blessings back to you ❣️
How would a daily routine look of taking these herbs? For instance, is it ok to take Nettles and Oatstraw every day, and say, Motherwort daily as well? Are there any that you shouldn't take together, and, are any contraindicated with taking an SSRI for anxiety? Thank you both for addressing this topic.
Thank you both for sharing this. It explains so much. #grabbed, use if you like. I have a few of these placements. My Mars is in the 10th house, but the sign of Cancer. My father was a Cancerian and abusive in various ways to some of us but not all. He seemed to pick and choose who got what up until I was about 9 when a new neighbor became a family friend and stepped in.
I've typed and deleted twice because excessively amounts of too long like a novel plus the desperation in my comment and the novel and how much it just was out of control and such. However I'm just going to say as little as I can possibly okay, I'm recently a subscriber since about two months give or take I resonate easily with your channel the language in which you speak about what your channels about and the feel the vibe whatever that I can feel through and the calm of it it's not judgy it's not freely and fancy and all access b******* that distorts and takes away from whatever it's like selling out kind kind of stuff it's not like that on this channel and I appreciate that the most I can tell whether it's just a luer fishing for another to be feeding madness of the mind and I promise you all I don't need any extra help with madness of my mind or with FUCKIN up my own shit period. Honestly I am sure this is true for all others aswell. But I'm not choosing to speak for anyone else ok, I really just don't want to do more than to try to keep this short and without becoming a novel that I am freaking emotionally begging for help but completely coming off like a fuckin spaz or mental freakshow making zero understandable sentences or anything to make sense of my whole comment etc.. ok I hope you get the gist from what I just described at least enough to be able to help guide ,refer I can't even decide the words to use for what I'm attempting to speak ,ask or ... Have a emotional MENTAL break and on public forum for fuck sake. Also I swear sometimes I try and keep it to a minimum for the most part howeverI'm just making sure that it's not intended or done because I'm trying to offend anyone or because I have disregarded that it may or may not be what somebody is offended by I assure you I promise that's not it I just need understanding enough to to give me the room to just let this be okay enough especially since I'm saying this right now specifically on purpose because that's not my intention to offend anyone okay I hope that you understand whoever May read this and whom is that this channel was created by. Please and thank you. I'm sorry I have this such weird comment . But I'm seriously not kidding how normal and used to it the response is and I can not tell you how no fucks that affect me from the freaking blessings in disguise that helped me in grasping what necessary reality awareness of which is fuckin badass and magic and absolutely the other end of my personal spectrum that has becomebasically like my drug addiction had been has been as well periodically it's benefited me it's been a best friend it has given a way to express myself without hesitation and the confidence that has assisted with that and finding my voice to do that and at age of 14 I'm not sure if I hadn't at that point found that and it had been no matter how extremely how the f*** no would I ever find that being such a thing if it were in fact my own children.ok and that being of any kind anywhere any at all my gosh I cannot even stand the thought of that and which I experienced or had done for many of my kids and they're not under the age of 16 okay so and they're still honestly babies they're my babies I'm that Mom but definitely worse because I'm such a freak show sensitivesomething or other that needs more than just the drug treatment assistance and structure and helping in that boost of such things that I do know what treatment can be and can have as that boost however it's something that while I didn't know until I knew along the way and this does explain as well as this Awakening and such explains so much more and if I just let myself snuff it in and hold it in and think nobody's going to listen anyway I honestly figure it's usually the way that it is anyways so why not ask bag whatever make a fool of myself and what's it going to do that it hasn't already done anyways I'm used to that and what if it happens to be on point and the right door?? Periodically sometimes it is that one. Thank you for bearing with me and allowing me to be this whatever it's called I don't even know but please know that I adore this for all that are just anywhere and that will be because this stuff is what has helped build and at least keep me hanging on in areas when when it was like I was hanging in midair not even feed on the edge of the cliff.to be brutally honest. before I go I just will share that I remembered this thought when I was about two or three to myself for whatever reason I didn't know but I remember it and I just get it now, I just wanted everybody to be ok. That's a thought that went through my little teeny tiny toddler mind in a moment that sticks in upfront in my brain continuously. It's just something that included not just who was right there it included every witch Way and whom it did not have limits I know that by the feel of it it was not limited to being a my family kind of thing I it was a just wished everybody could be okay I wish everyone could be ok. .ok. . I appreciate y'all putting up with this on the comments. . I consider deleting later but I'm not really because of any other reason except for the automatic embedded response that I'd had , embarrassed to be weird or freaking, this I don't know what I am and I am not with support of family that is healthy by no means. .. it's like I'm THIS thing that can be getting this look in the eye's glimmering as I'm being some fuckin go to for something that has been a thing as well through my whole entire life when it comes to family related as far as my mom and my brother and myself and not having any other option but standing alone on my own as far as it goes with my own truth and that setting me free and giving me the ability at least two not shoes that and the depth of that abyss that hurts and it is tormenting and it's just not worth it anymore to fool myself and yes I still get caught up periodically but it's not even close to anyting it had been not at all okay and I'm thankful for that however it is part of why I am right now in this desperate mode asking for help it or directions to go for that for someone like myself I am just me I have two cats I'm recently on this program for homeless prevention okay I am still on it until it is at the point to go off of it whatever that is I don't know but I'm just keeping it real I have Medicaid I get f****** food stamps okay I got hired on the spot at a job over a month ago and I've called consistently and they had said they wanted to hire everybody that they needed to and then we trained at the same time while I don't know that this is something it takes this long before so is it the universe just making it be obviously not going to happen because it's not going to be the the most appropriate?? OMFG yes I've personally done what it is that we all end up learning when applying for jobs and the protocol of which is the thing I'm 46 years old yes I'm not going to sit here and say all this and without it being something that f***yes I have gone about things appropriately I know how it works I do have abilities in interviews I'm in on paper are on the computer the applications is usually the obstacle I got hired I couldn't believe it was a freaking miracle it's been a minute okay and I am desperate because I know I need the treatment the structure through that also what it is that is more than just what drug treatment has equipped for I just don't know if that exists for needs of someone like myself am even sure what to do anymore exactly it's like a yes and a no because discipline a and a structured continuous daily thing or process or whatever has never been enough besides when I was pregnant and I could say that I never felt better except for when I wasn't vomiting every day after the first five months okay I'm what I mean is is there anything for someone that is like myself
I’m not sure this would warrant its own full video w/ plant helpers, but it would be super interesting to hear your insight into the astrology involved in mundane kleptomania, or other trickster-esque tendencies…
My fathers addiction broke our family couple of times- I have Moon conj. Neptune and ASC at 27° Capricorn, he has Moon in Capricorn and most of all Pluto conj. Uranus and Sun in Virgo opposite Saturn in Pisces.... I have been moving to every 3 years since I was born and There was a lot of breaking up and and uniting between me, my sister and mom and my dad because of his alcohol addiction. My mom was really cold and didnt show emotions because of that, her dad was also alcoholic and runing away from him she met my father... I have Aries in 4th house with Saturn conj SN in Aries- Mars is conj. My Mercury in Taurus at 24° (so trine with The moon)- I was in horrible depression and falling into addiction and the remendy for me was and is painting and learning about ezoterics. I also have them trine my Jupiter at 16° Cap. My Venus is in Gemini conj. My Sun so mutual reception with Mercury.... so nature, long walks with my dog, painting and learning metaphysics and astrology is healing me from the strong family addiction impact on my psyche..
Neptune in Pisces (my 7th H) has been squaring my natal moon in Gemini (10th H) on / off for 3 years. I became a daily drunk just to get through my grueling day job. During this same time I was in a disillusioned relationship. Almost as if on cue, when the square started opening up more than 3°, I stopped drinking cold turkey and I broke up with my boyfriend. This was just this past February. I've never been so happy for a transit to end, IN MY LIFE! Well, except maybe my Pluto square 10 years ago. 😅🙌🏼💯🎉👏🏻
Wow - Ashely totally described me! Both parents alcoholic - i became one too and have sobriety now but still experience all the behaviour traits and lack of regulation - even my posture - my shoulders are rounded!!! I also thought that neptune in the fourth can indicate if badly aspected. I have both sun and mercury (ruler of my 4th) in the 12th… so I guess i was already born an alcoholic before i even popped out of the womb! Thank you for doing this - i love your utubes… :)
Natal Pluto conjunct moon 4H
6H Neptune natal
In recovery(now 48yo)…since end of Saturn return AND Pluto went out of natal 6H by transit where I have natal Neptune 6H.
I do feel I was destined to have this addiction/alcoholic signature AND so grateful I did not die! Sex, drugs and rock n roll isn’t sexy on a new mother(got pregnant 1 day out of rehab, 1st time!)
Even in Vedic it was a 16 year Rahu in Scorpio transit that ended RIGHT as I finally got sober, unbeknownst to me!!!! Didn’t know about aya back then but wish I had. Deep trauma(natal Pluto conjunct (1degree away) moon 4H, was of course the root.
I am alllll about plants for rooting out the trauma, ancestral as well as this life. I feel so good now but I still want to do aya. Xo
Thanks for doing what you do and congrats Ashley on 4 years.
Starseeds are attacked for our light. That is my belief. I now channel and had a massive kundalini awakening 4th time I meditated!! I was not meant to stay an addict. LOVE astrology for showing me this!!!!
AFTER I got sober though. 🤣
My son is half white, half Asian. He started taking free native fauna/sustainable gardening courses at his local college. He and his wife made a little greenhouse, etc. One day, in March of 2021, he asked me to bring him some wood so he could make an above ground garden bed. We spent the day constructing and planting it, my son told me that he decided to take up gardening to deal with his anger. The day ended, as I set out to drive home, over the radio they announced that a young man had targeted and shot up Asian massage parlors that day, because of his anger. I could not help but cringe at the irony of it all. My son dealt with his anger by picking up a gardening trowel in order to nurture something good.
Wow, that sounds like a powerful moment.

Totally enjoying this! I have a Mars in Cancer and my whole family has issues with addiction. I do have issues with trust. Can Motherwort be combined with a sweeter tea or lemon and honey to make it more palatable? I’m part way in and looking forward to the rest to help my son.
Oh my gosh! I have Saturn in my 1st, too!
My son has a plot of planets in his 5th and 🌒 in Cancer in the 12th!
Where can I get Oatstraw and Nettles?
This was very informative and succinctly presented.
Thank you for putting this out in the world for us. 🙏🏾🌷
#grabbed oh maaaaaan TW: Mentions abuse. I have ... drum roll ... Merc and Moon conjunct at 0/1 Scorpio, and my IC is 0 Scorpio. I also have Pluto and Venus in this Scorpio stellium in the 4th house. My mom is an alcoholic, it's hugely impacted my life. I'm still in contact with her, but most of the rest of my family are not. She was psychologically and emotionally and even physically abusive when drinking. Pluto steamrolled my Venus when I was 4, this is when she started going to rehab which lasted for years. Jupiter in Pisces in the 8th house is trine my venus, my mom's sun sign is anaretic degree of Pisces. It's like she doesn't even see boundaries to my mind and is always swimming in and out with basically zero awareness of how she has hurt me. Cancer in the 12th house, family to me has always seemed unattainable, dispersive, traumatic, institutionalised. My paternal grandma was also an abusive alcoholic who had experienced incest and s*xual abuse apparently, and other family members have been addicted to narcotics, pain pills, weed, etc. I'm not substance addicted but have ... Mars exalted at 27/28 Capricorn in the 6th house lol. So Workaholism is an easy mood-fixer for me
And I'm traditionally hyper-independent :)
Thanks!
My mother was or is alcoholic in recovery. I have moon square pluto, opposite saturn and the sun in the 4th, thanks god it's trine to Venus.
I'm interested in your take on ppl in my generation who had a right conjunction of Uranus, Neptune and Saturn in capricorn
Someone I know who is hoplelessly addicted to opium since teen years and now 36 with several unsuccesful rehab treatment in the bagage:
• VIRGO rising and ruler mercury in PiSCES
• Saturn in 4th squaring mercury in Pisces
• Aries SUN in 8th house
• Mars\Neptune conjunction in 5th squaring the SUN in the 8th house.
This person is VERY confused about himself, the relationship he is in, and the overall direction of his life.
Thank you
Hi Ashley and Adam. Thank you for this! Ashley, where do you recommend purchasing dried herbs and tinctures?
Does moon conjunct south node ( Ketu) be considered a malefic??
Pluto in 4th would be considered malefic ofcourse … Saturn and mars in cancer- ofcourse that’s debilitation. Uranus in scorpio -good point raised on bonding style ! Excellent discussion ..thank you for sharing your wisdom.
My dad was an alcoholic- he Has Pluto conj. Uranus and Sun- I have Pluto exact conj. My MC and my only sister Has Sun conj. Pluto exact.
Thanks for this video. My oldest is Capricorn opposed moon, my middle Uranus conjunct moon and my third has an 8th house moon. Would you ever consider doing a reading where you look at all three and let me know what my blind spots etc may be as a mom?
Does Ashley have a website or social media?
My brothers sun is in the 6th and he is an athlete that is interesting
Im currently using a benzo for sleep, my nervous system is overactive, perhaps I should look into seeing a skilled herbalist. Thanks for the insight.
Which type of chamomile do you recommend
Any ideas on Kratom??
❤❤❤
Curious if anyone has seen exalted planets in 8/6/12 with addiction?
