Where Your Nose Knows Your Chart: A New Path to Planetary Healing

For years, I’ve walked two parallel paths: the celestial map of Vedic astrology and the vibrational healing of astrological aromatherapy. My clients often ask, “How do these two worlds meet in a personal way?”
In Jyotish, when we find a planet that is weak, afflicted, or needing support, we prescribe specific remedies—or upayas. These are practical, energetic actions to harmonize that planetary influence. This principle is the heart of my book, Uma’s Upayas. But what I’ve discovered through my clinical practice is something even more profound: clients are magnetically drawn to—or repelled by—the very remedies their chart needs most.
In fact, 99.9% of the time when I pull an Aromatherapy Oracle Card for someone, they are either already using that essential oil, or they can’t stand its scent. This is no accident. Our limbic system—the brain’s center for emotion and memory—knows what we need to heal. Sometimes, we are intuitively guided toward it. Other times, we rebel against the very medicine that calls for our deepest growth.
Today, I am thrilled to formalize this discovery into a new, in-person offering at The Muriel Suite: The Aromatherapy Astrology Reading.
This is not a traditional reading. It’s a dialogue between your conscious self, your subconscious wisdom, and the planets.
The Philosophy: Your Body’s Wisdom Leads the Way
We often approach astrology from the outside in: “Here is your chart, these are your planets.” This reading flips that script. We begin with your innate, bodily wisdom. You will be introduced to the nine Navagraha Elixirs—each an aromatic embodiment of a planetary energy. Without overthinking, you’ll be drawn to certain bottles, or even feel repulsion toward others.
This visceral reaction is our first and most crucial data point. Your nose and limbic system are choosing the planets we need to counsel. Why? Because scent processes emotion and memory. When you encounter a scent tied to a memory—and the organic compounds in the essential oil interact with your body—we have a key to change your response to that memory. Just as in addiction recovery, it’s the memory of a feeling that can create a loop. If we can change how we feel about our memories, we are on the fast track to healing trauma and stepping more fully into our dharma, our cosmic duty for this lifetime.
The Synthesis: Mapping Your Intuition to Your Chart
Next, we open your Vedic astrology chart (an accurate birth time is essential). This is where the magic of synthesis happens.
-
Why is your hand reaching for the spicy, fiery, courage-invoking Mars elixir? Perhaps Mars is your chart ruler, or Moon lord, and it is undergoing a pivotal transit, or sitting in a house of transformation.
-
What does it mean if you instinctively avoid the stabilizing scent of blue spruce and cypress in Saturn (Shani)? We might find Saturn activating a sensitive point, revealing an area where you’re being called to mature or release fear.
-
Why does rose not appeal? Is it too sweet? What’s the condition of your Venus, and what does it say about your relationships? Where is transit Venus right now, and what planets is she aspecting?
- What dasha are you running? Chances are, you are attracted to/repelled by the ruling lord; for instance, if you’re in Mercury, you may be drawn to herbal scents, or you can’t stand patchouli, etc.
- Do you love citrus? How is your relationship with your father? Are you getting enough vitamin D, i.e. sunshine? Are you scared of the dark? This all points to the Sun in your chart that needs remedied.
This isn’t about “good” or “bad” choices. It’s a diagnostic of resonance and resistance, revealing where your life force is ready to engage and where it seeks gentle support. We’ll examine planetary placements, aspects, and the current transits affecting you, creating a living, breathing interpretation of your present moment.
The Guidance & The Path Forward
To anchor our insights, we’ll consult the Aromatherapy Oracle Cards for final thematic guidance. Our discussion then turns profoundly practical: Which oils should you focus on, and how will you use them? We’ll co-create a simple, potent ritual—for anointing, meditation, or diffusion—to weave these balancing planetary energies into your daily rhythm.
