This lecture proposes a critical review of the correspondences between plants and planets presented by Nicholas Culpeper in The Complete Herbal (1652), analyzing its historical foundations and contemporary relevance. It will explore how modern phytochemistry can contribute to updating these associations, recognizing that a single plant can exhibit multiple planetary correspondences according to its different constituents and therapeutic applications.

It is aimed at astrologers interested in medical astrology and the integration of astrology, herbal medicine, and contemporary scientific knowledge.

Biography

I discovered Astrology seven years ago during a decisive moment in my personal journey, and since then I have been deepening my training and professional practice. I was self-taught until 2020, when I began the Online Astrology Program with Cláudia Lisboa. I completed the Traditional and Modern Astrology Course (Level I) with Isabel Antunes in 2022 and obtained the Professional Certification in Astrology from Faces Isabel Guimarães in 2023. In 2024, I specialized in Systemic Constellations, Astrogenealogy, and Movement of the Spheres with Enzo de Paola. In April 2025, I completed the Advanced Specialty Professional Training in Astrology at Faces Isabel Guimarães. Since 2023, I have been providing consultancy services and participating in events with ASPAS. In 2025, I published the article “Antiscia- Zodiacal Reverberations” in the astrological newspaper 4 Estações. My practice integrates both traditional and evolutionary approaches. I am also a multimedia technician and herbalist; I practice permaculture and biodynamic agriculture, and I produce herbal remedies through the Nadir Essence project.
