THE AUTHOR SCOOP
What are you working on now?
A blog about the topics covered in Planetary Apothecary, ideas for my next book, and getting back to having a bit more life balance (more yoga, more gardening, more cooking, more friend and family time, etc.) now that I'm not at the computer for hours on end.
What's been sitting in the back of your fridge for more than a year?
Umeboshi plum paste. But that's ok because it has a pretty much indefinite shelf life and it's one of those things that I use a little at a time, so it lasts a while. It's really an amazing food…it has a tart salty taste and is really good for stomach ailments. It's said to be a great cure for hangovers as well. It's one of the foods I feature in the Virgo chapter of Planetary Apothecary.
Who is your hero?
I have to pick two: my grandfather and grandmother, Abe and Sylvia. They instilled an amazing sense of love and togetherness in my family, something that I count on as a great blessing. My grandfather taught us about the world and how respect and morality were of utmost importance. From my grandmother, we learned resourcefulness, tenaciousness, how to cook (although no one can do it like her), and the fact that age should never limit you in what you are capable of achieving (to this day, she's still winning golf tournaments). I am so lucky that, while they are 91 and 89, respectively, they are still with us to this day.
How do you cheer yourself up when you're feeling down?
Play with my cat. Pull weeds in the garden. Do a Sun Salutation. Remember how blessed I am to have an amazing family as well as kind and loving friends.
What do you like to make by hand?
Jewelry. I love the alchemy of taking different colorful materials and weaving them together to create a piece of wearable art. I often custom design the pieces with a person's astrological chart in mind so that they can serve as a personal talisman.

Incredibly insightful take on health and wellness. This book appeals to the astrology novice (me) as well as those well versed in their astrological make up. Before reading Planetary Apothecary I hadn't considered a connection between my zodiac sign and my physical health. I wish I had this book 5 years ago because much of what Gailing details as part of my "Libran" self-care profile, I've slowly come to know through trial and error. I'm excited to try the wellness recommendations she outlines in areas I haven't explored (i.e. aromatherapy, yoga poses and relaxation techniques). While there are 12 astrological signs (and main chapters in the book) I found that reading the chapters on my moon and ascendant signs were equally helpful in creating a more personalized wellness plan. This has opened my eyes to the world of medical astrology and I'm loving it!

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I recently purchased Planetary Apothecary due to a doctor's certainty that I would need "standard treatment" including a prescription that I did not want to take. I do not normally refer to astrology as a way of addressing the issues I face in my life, but I had listened to everything else and figured it couldn't hurt. Planetary Apothecary is a really well made book, in the sense that it arrived as a high quality product. The information was easy to figure out, the resources in the back were helpful to address confusion I had regarding my horoscope, and the information rings true. I realized that when I have been my healthiest in my life, I was instinctively following the same advice that was presented in the book! Therefore, I am going to go on a detoxify regiment soon and implement the diet suggested and journal my findings. I will return to let you know how I feel afterwards. My friend came over and I showed her the book too. She spent the whole afternoon reading it and ordered it before she went home. This is one of those special mysteries in life that maybe we just don't take seriously, but should.

Format:Paperback
Health nuts will adore it, astrology addicts need it, and for those who crave BOTH a healthy lifestyle along with some scoop from the stars, this book is a must!! I loved reading that Taureans (me) are the gourmets of the zodiac, and that the throat, "which enables you to voice your truth" is associated with my sign. So affirming (since I have vocal chord issues) and a great guide in how to take care. Gailing gives us everything from nutritional tips to the best body, relaxation and exercise therapies for our sign. Written with style and so insightful and easy to read, it is an inspiring handbook and reference to keep you (and even the most stubborn, know-it-all Tauraun) on the right, healthy track.
