Capricorn tea. Workin' For The Weekend

Capricorn Tea Blend.

This tea takes its name from the song of the same title by Loverboy.

Workin’ For The Weekend is blended from Peppermint, Mullein, Nettles, Safflower, Burdock root, Sarsaparilla root, Chaste tree berries, Cinnamon and Cayenne..

The final cardinal sign, a wizened Sea Goat, Capricorn, is ruled by Saturn and the element of Earth. And for them, we blended tasty, piquant herbal tea for this zodiac archetype featuring:

It’s a pretty, cumulative transition that this late cardinal sign represents since it holds the elemental knowledge won by those born of fire in the sign of aries, newly accumulated in the water and held for posterity in shelled house lugging nature of cancers, which the beauty loving, fair minded libras pluck into balance and air out in leaves worn like finery on the branches of a mature tree until the trajectory of all these seasoned accumulations fall and seep and collect back into the earth, bound by Saturnian rings of Time for capricorns to process into the skin and bones of it all. The horned capricorn wills that transitional processing of information in the moist earth to be put forth into the next cycle for learning and accumulation all over again.

A capricorn in flow will be deep in a rhythm of working adroitly, completing task after monumental task and conversely later in the evening will shake it off and be the most wild and sparkly character at the party. Their push and pull on that rocky, icy highway of the Saturnian rings that guide the Capricorn lifestyle offer them a dance between the instinct to work in good time, wizened by the seasoned experience gathered for this last cardinal sign of the zodiac, counterbalanced by their impulse to push those apparent constraints to the breaking point at the end of a good productive day. These oscillations can appear fevered and wild to the unwitting observer, but there is a graceful physics to that pendulum for a balanced Capricorn.

Skin and bones, those are the places you’ll see strengths and imbalances in the capricorn archetype and that’s on account of their dominion over some of the main regulatory devices in the body. They Skin, hair, and knees. Teeth. Joints, especially the knees. Bones and the skeletal system. Anterior pituitary gland. Gall bladder. Processing and maintaining energy reserves. Regulation of body systems, especially through the hormonal system. Antiperistaltic movement.

Capricorns can run cold and be depressed. So we want to support the skin, bones, digestive and hormone balance with bright, warming, moving, oily plants. We chose peppermint because it’s virbrant and warming, mucilaginous, mineral rich Mullein, an herb ruled by Saturn according to Nicholas Culpepper. Then we have another bone builder in Nettles, tasty anti-oxidant  Safflower, and well known, oily liver and gall bladder tonic Burdock. Finally we round out the blend another root, Sarsaparilla, this one is hormone balancing, a spicy hormone balancing Chaste Tree Berry, warming and moistening Cinnamon, and just a hint of fiery Cayenne.
