The astrological section contains herbs that give special powers to each zodiac sign. I have no clear idea how this works, but found it in one of my herb books and ran with it. The armillary symbolizes the celestrial constellations ruling the zodiac.
Aquarius - mullein, Pisces - meadowsweet, Aries - cowslip, Taurus - calamint, Gemini - lavender, Cancer - agrimony, Leo - poppy, Virgo - savory, Libra - pennyroyal, Scorpio - tarragon, Sagittarius - feverfew, Captricorn - sorrel.
Lauri reluctantly provides me with a mullein each year, I need to replace the pennyroyal or perhaps sub in a violet or yarrow, and tarragon seems to be an annual for me. For some reason, I planted a decorative oregano in this section, I'll have to figure out where I was going with that.
The meadowsweet is a vibrant pink, and I've divided that and plugged it in a couple other spots for color.
The cowslips are very crowded and need to be split up either this fall or early spring.
