Today’s Meaning:
This aspect of your life will be strongly influenced by a person who is adventurous, energetic, pioneering, courageous, enthusiastic, confident, dynamic and quick-witted. This person is probably somone you already know and respect.
General Description:
First sign of the Zodiac, March 21st to April 20th. Mars the ruling planet, and Iron the correct metal. Those born under the influence of Aries were supposed to be brave, ambitious, optimistic, confident, and fond of adventure. The Aries gems are the Diamond, Jasper, and blood stone. The Diamond was always regarded with much veneration in olden times, and was worn to make its wearer bold and daring. Napoleon Bonaparte had the celebrated Regent or Pitt Diamond (136 carats, valued at about 500,000 lbs) set in the hilt of his sword. At one time it was believed that the wearing of very large diamonds brought ill-luck and misfortune on the wearer.
Past Influence whose impact on your life is waning.
The Hawk
High flying and courageous Hawk uses his sharp vision to see all aspects of the world below him in minute detail. He is gifted at taking in all he sees and quickly creating a powerful plan of action. The Hawk suggests that while a broad view of the situation should be taken, the details cannot be overlooked. The Hawk calls for authoritative action based upon a thorough understanding of the circumstances.
Present Influence whose impact on your life is very strong.
Chance
The Chance card denotes a period in which taking risks may produce positive results. This doesn’t mean head off to a casino with your life’s savings! What is suggested is that you should make gains by taking a well calculated risk. For the power of Chance to be fully realized it is essential that you pick your risk carefully, move forward with conviction, and above all else don’t get greedy!
Future influence whose impact on your life is growing and will be very strong in the future.
Wisdom
A very very few of us are fortunate to be born wise. For most of us our Wisdom evolves, grows as we move through life gathering experience and knowledge. Wisdom denotes your thoughts and feelings derived from the melding of your life experiences with all that you have learned. Our Wisdom can get us through the difficult moments in our lives as well as provide the mental and spiritual tools we need to succeed.
Venus represents those qualities we commonly associate with the female/yin persona. Venus traits include fertility and the drive to create, unblemished beauty, love, passion, and togetherness. The occurrence of Venus denotes the dominating presence or need of the qualities listed above. While often very subtle, Venetian influences may have a negative impact unless they are balanced with an influence that can temper the drive of Venus.
As a daily card, Venus suggest you should allow your more feminine traits to guide your actions through this period. Subtlety, efforts to bring people together and allowing your creativity to run free are likely to serve you well at this time. However, like Mars, the powers of Venus are very strong and can do more damage than good if not balanced by other influences.
Meaning: This rune represents abundance, success and happiness. This is considered a lucky rune and if leading, it is very positive about your query, whether the query is about finance, business, friendship, partnership or spirituality. In conjunction with the Rings, it indicates a happy and prosperous marriage. With the Sun, it means success in your career, and with Waves, success abroad.
The Chariot is the representation of Victory and the personality traits required to attain victory. The Chariot indicates self-awareness and control. Courage—the ability to overcome fear and confront the unknown head on–is a primary ingredient of any victorious campaign and is denoted by the Chariot. So too is force of will. Often success is as much the product of will power and a refusal to surrender as it is anything else. The Chariot also represents the healthy personality of someone who believes in themselves; someone who can take control of the situation and bring events to a positive end. His successes come in competition with others.
Are important secrets about your future, past and present life lurking in the shadows? Find out what they are quickly and easily with the help of the Tarot!
The deck of Tarot is an incredible tool, which can shed light onto the darkest corners of your life. These amazing cards make it possible to illuminate and bring to light what you have never been able to see before.
What do you want to know? Does something irk you but you can not seem to find the source? Are you ready to shake that nagging suspicion that something is not quite right under the surface. Unseen secrets can be uncovered by using the all powerful Tarot.
This could be your opportunity to no longer feel afraid to the unknown. It is not so hard to figure out what is really happening in your life. The missing piece of the jigsaw puzzle may be just the flip of a card away.
Listen to your gut and ask yourself a difficult question. Is there a person or people in your life who you suspect of keeping secrets from you? Aren’t you tired of sorting through shady behavior, half-truths, deception and disloyal words and actions for evidence and kernels of truth?
Consult the Tarot for honest answers. Remove the wool from your eyes so that you can see what your situation really is like and become more in tune with the reality around you. You need to know the whole story, not just the version others want you to know.
When it comes to knowing what is up in your world, you are not just left to your own devices. No one can be everywhere, all the time. Even with today’s modern technology, the Tarot is still the best private investigator. Why? Agendas, motivations and plans become clear and easy to spot with the cards.
With the Tarot acting as a skeleton key to the closet that holds all the secrets in your life, you never have to worry, wonder or feel powerless against the unseen energies of the universe. Like a honing device, the Tarot can help pinpoint the true, honest aspects of your concerns so that you can focus on solutions.
Does anyone in your life speak to you as though they are censoring what they say? When they share things with you does it sound as though they are using security software for their words? This is a red flag indicating a hidden wealth of secrets, carefully woven into a web of exclusion.
When you consult with the Tarot you have a chance to get the most privileged information about the people in your life: employer/employees, friends, family, lover, boyfriend/girlfriend, husband/wife, landlord, accountant, roommate and anyone else who might be keeping an impactful secret from you!
Who knows what vital tidbits you can get your hands on with the enlightenment of the Tarot? Just imagine having the ability to peer into the secrets you deserve to know! Ask the Tarot about your job, your love life or anything else that is on your mind.
Are they being faithful to you or are they cheating? Are you about to get a promotion or get fired? Are your kids telling you everything you need to know in order to keep them safe? Has an ex been thinking or talking secretively about you?
Furthermore, hard facts about your secret life may be on the verge of coming out. Find out who knows what! All the effort you have taken to skirt around the truth for fear of consequences, judgment or loss may be unearthed during a Tarot card reading. Be prepared to both accept and deliver full disclosure.
How does the Tarot reveal the concealed murky depths? Like a Cryptologist decoding an encrypted message, a Tarot card expert is able to receive messages from these ancient cards so you can put an end confusion and mysteries with trustworthy answers. Even the most enigmatic, classified and confidential events are not stealthy enough to hide from a covert operations specialist like the Tarot.
No matter whether they are trying to keep secrets from you because they love you and think it is best for you to be left in the dark on a particular matter or because they are wishing you ill-will or want to put you at a disadvantage in life, the fact of the matter is they are still hiding a secret from you.
Is whispering in the other room and their hush-hush attitude got your sixth sense tingling? Is cloak and dagger behavior leading you to wonder what is so private and under wraps? It is human nature to be curious!
It is time to expose the truth and unlock the answers. Ask and you shall know with the power of the Tarot!

We are enamored with our most outrageous ideas today. We can’t help but reflect the flamboyant Sagittarius Moon by believing everything we say, while mischievous Mercury conspires with bombastic Jupiter to amp up the volume up even higher. However, Mercury’s flowing trine with pragmatic Saturn later this evening pops our balloons; we have no choice but to return to solid ground. The sooner we rein in our enthusiasm, the better for all involved.
Aries Horoscope MAR 21 – APR 19
You’re itching to rush out of the starting gate, but circumstances delay your progress until you put a concrete plan into place. Thankfully, you can deftly think through the alternative contingencies while under pressure and map out your strategy. But don’t let logic limit your options; it’s smarter now to combine a rational approach with your visionary ideas. Giving up too soon won’t work in your favor; however, your unwavering commitment to reach your goal is currently your ticket to success.
Taurus Horoscope APR 20 – MAY 20
Practicing self-discipline is crucial today because you will struggle unnecessarily if you try to overextend your limits. Nevertheless, opportunities abound to finish whatever you start if you establish attainable goals and then focus only on the most essential tasks. Positive thinking is a definite plus as long as you don’t assume that your attitude is the only thing that matters. Intention plus hard work leads to a gratifying sense of accomplishment.
Gemini Horoscope MAY 21 – JUN 20
Your ability to rationalize is so amplified now that you could be the victim of your own cleverness. Mischievous Mercury is working overtime today, stimulating conversations to smooth over the rough spots in your life. Be careful not to dance around an unpleasant discussion now because denial can backfire and strain the relationship dynamics later on. Believe it or not, running from the truth is a lot tougher than facing it squarely in the eye.
Cancer Horoscope JUN 21 – JUL 22
You excel at communicating your feelings today, but unfortunately, even your closest friends might not fully understand your perspective. The problem is that certain complex emotions don’t fit into language; a nuance can be lost in translation unless everyone understands the motivation behind your words. Remember that your behavior also speaks loudly, so make sure your actions are consistent with the message you’re trying to get across.
Leo Horoscope JUL 23 – AUG 22
Although your insecurities might not be apparent, you’re still concerned with the emotional response of your coworkers today. Unfortunately, your non-disclosure strategy is ineffective if you try to hide your anxiety by being purposefully vague. However, it’s healthier to share as much information as possible, even if you must do it in bite-size pieces. Your associates are willing to help you even more if they are fully informed. Thankfully, there’s no need to carry your burden alone.
Virgo Horoscope AUG 23 – SEP 22
You could probably get away with sloppy thinking today as long as you don’t let the situation grow out of hand. Authoritative Saturn is beaming a stabilizing energy to your key planet Mercury, enabling you to improve your game while maintaining a sense of control. Thankfully, your allies will cut you some slack now if your logic momentarily falters. Remain true to your spirit and let your imagination run wild and free.
Libra Horoscope SEP 23 – OCT 22
You are adept at minimizing your needs to make a situation more pleasant for someone else. However, you could go overboard today, trying to remedy an emotional problem that’s not your responsibility. Nosing around in other people’s business rarely helps anyone, but you can still be a true friend by listening and showing your support. Caring for those you love is a gift as long as you remember to maintain healthy boundaries.
Scorpio Horoscope OCT 23 – NOV 21
Your emotional and spiritual needs are complex, often prompting you to keep them to yourself. However, your aspirations are wildly vivid and wonderfully specific now, and you may be hesitant to reveal your inner process. But there’s no reason to close yourself off completely today; confiding in another person can help you process your feelings and deepen your relationship. Give yourself permission to wait until you’re ready to share your colorful fantasies with someone you trust.
Sagittarius Horoscope NOV 22 – DEC 21
You’re submerged in a sea of deep thoughts now, but you don’t want to go public with your feelings just yet. Nevertheless, you might come across flippantly — as if your emotions aren’t very important — especially when you talk about them in an offhand manner. Ironically, you may believe that changes are occurring, even if nothing obvious is happening today. Be courageous and seek your voice. Take a risk and reveal your heart.
Capricorn Horoscope DEC 22 – JAN 19
Although living up to your responsibilities is nothing new for you, taking care of business quickly fills up your schedule today. In spite of your ambitious agenda, you still might believe that you can pack another activity into your day. Unfortunately, even the time you set aside for exercise or relaxation is rapidly disappearing now. Thankfully, you can prevent your plans from falling apart by making smart choices early in the day. Less is more.
Aquarius Horoscope JAN 20 – FEB 18
You may feel strange if a casual conversation at work suddenly turns personal today. You might overreact, provoking you to say more than you would normally share and inspiring a real heart-to-heart connection. Although it could feel great at first, the mood likely grows awkward as the discussion continues. Don’t be afraid to push past your comfort zone or you can undo the potentially positive consequences of breaking down an unspoken and unnecessary boundary.
Pisces Horoscope FEB 19 – MAR 20
It’s so tempting to slip into an invisible caretaker role today because you are so empathic when it comes to the feelings of those you admire. It may be a real challenge to avoid playing the role of a martyr now, but giving away too much of yourself too quickly and transform compassion into resentment in the blink of an eye. Fortunately, you can truly help those you love in the long run if you remember to maintain healthy boundaries when opening your heart.
You are determined, independent, and possess a style you can truly call your own. Seemingly fearless, you find your own way in life and determinedly achieve what you set out to do. Your sincerity wins you respect, and your spontaneity and enthusiasm are infectious. You are a pioneer and your vision is big. Insecurities and worries are often well hidden.
Famous people born today: Reba McEntire, Vince Vaughn, Lady Gaga, Karen Kain, Julia Stiles.
This is a day in which you may be itching to do, feel, or experience something new today, dear Aries, with the Moon in your adventure sector aligning with Mars. You might also feed a hunger for knowledge, but you can be especially desirous of taking action, so you could be learning through experience or meditating in motion. You could find it easier than usual to go after what you want today, and it’s likely that few if any will interfere. You might get fired up about a belief or idea today. You’re a natural leader, making it an opportune time to take the initiative.
Taurus
Taurus
Emotions can be inflamed but internalized today, dear Taurus. This can be an especially passionate time, and possibly an exciting day on intimate or emotional levels. Daydreaming of intense or passionate experiences can figure strongly for some of you. This can also be a good time for productivity, research, and analysis. The need for more glamor, mystery, or emotional excitement in your life is strong. Matters of ownership can also be a big issue now. You may be more sensitive to imbalances of power or to inequalities today.
Gemini
Gemini
The Moon aligns with Mars in your opposite sign today, dear Gemini, which can point to more demands placed on you from other people or animated interactions and feelings in your relationships. For some, a significant encounter might occur. Important players in your life may be demanding attention or holding the power now, at the very least over your attention. The truth is, you’ll get a fuller picture of your own issues if you take another’s point of view into account. Any conflict stirred now may be more about what you’re not accepting in yourself than about other people or outside circumstances. Although overly hasty or rash actions taken now could rebound on you, some healthy risk-taking could simply help you to break the routine and get you out of a rut.
Cancer
Cancer
This can be an especially productive time for work, health, and practical affairs, dear Cancer. You’re focusing on the flaws, problems, and details, and completely ready to take action to correct and manage issues with the Moon in alignment with Mars in your work and routine sector today. This can be a great time for taking action on a health or work matter, although some of you might be a little too impulsive now. There can be a strong desire or sudden need to become more organized and efficient. If you are feeling especially angry, frustrated, or restless, it would be wise to find little projects and things to do so that you can channel excess energy constructively.
Leo
Leo
The Moon transits your sector of entertainment and romance, dear Leo, and aligns with Mars there, firing up your passions in a mostly pleasant way. Your desire nature and your emotions are cooperating beautifully just now, which increases your resourcefulness and independence. You can more confidently rely on your instincts now, and you react well to competition, although there can be some impatience or impulsiveness to deal with. Not much can get in your way today, except perhaps concerns about finances, so take advantage. There can be a stronger need for applause or approval, and you are quite likely to receive the attention you seek.
Virgo
Virgo
You are especially hungry for nurturing, support, and comfort today, dear Virgo, and especially willing to work for it or to go out of your way for these experiences. You can feel particularly motivated to make personal improvements. Your senses are working overtime now. Your feelings are all fired up today, and your need for action is stirred, although you may not know exactly where to direct excess energy. It could also be a rather passionate time, simply because, for the time being, you tend to be ruled by your passions. Seek out ways to improve your home life or enjoy family activities if possible today.
Libra
Libra
There can be a busy, buzzing theme to the day, dear Libra, as the Moon and Mars line up in your communications sector. There can be many projects and activities that you are juggling now. There can be more spontaneity in your communications, which can be a good thing if you can benefit from some courage to express yourself, but could also lead to impulsive speech or responses. There can be a nice feeling of camaraderie with a partner or friend. Working on a communications project with someone can be especially successful right now. You are more in tune with your natural impulses, and less inclined to think things through before taking action.
Scorpio
Scorpio
This can be a strong day for feeling comfortable in the world of the five senses, dear Scorpio, for tending to prized personal possessions, and for producing in work and career. A business or money matter may now grab your attention, and you may be especially interested in taking action on a problem area. This can be a very resourceful time when you are inclined to make the most of what you have. You may be over-identifying with what you have and own, and you could be trying to prove yourself (your worth) to others today, so that conflicts might arise surrounding issues or respect or ownership. However, you’re also very concerned about quick resolutions.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius
Today is strong for taking the initiative, dear Sagittarius. It’s an emotionally courageous day with the Moon in your sign and aligning with Mars, also in your sign, and perhaps a little impatient at times as well. You have the self-confidence and backbone to go after what you want, generally without backlash or interference from others. You are more resourceful and less demanding of people around you, and others respect your boundaries and independence now. You may have more energy than usual to want to organize or oversee projects, to take the lead, particularly on creative levels, and to pursue your desires, such as romantic ones. Your emotions intensify and you instinctively desire change and adventure.
Capricorn
Capricorn
With Mars and the Moon aligning in your privacy sector today, dear Capricorn, much of your energy is channeled into private matters, and a lot can be going on behind the scenes! You may not be content to only think about the past, but you might also want to take action on a matter that has been brewing for some time. Emotional energy must never be underestimated, as it can impact physical energy tremendously, up or down. Use this time well by focusing on renewal, regeneration, and healing. Much of your energy is channeled into private, family, and home matters.
Aquarius
Aquarius
You may be itching to do something new and unusual today, dear Aquarius, and to take the initiative. While you tend to be quite independent-minded today, group activities and cooperative efforts are the best way to achieve your goals at the moment. You could be in the position to defend someone or a cherished ideal. You might benefit from sharing some of your knowledge or expertise with associates. Your insights are progressive, and others can appreciate your input. Take the time to do little favors for others that boost their spirits. New ideas abound now.
Pisces
Pisces
This is a day for feeling large and in charge, dear Pisces. You can have a rush of desire to take action on a business goal or responsibility, and can feel especially strong and content once you’ve accomplished something practical. The Moon is in your career and reputation sector and aligns with Mars, and if you feel things heating up in your career or feel a strong desire to set some long-term goals, you’re very much in tune. Feeling as if all eyes are on you can in fact give you a jump-start or wake-up call to areas of your life in which you’ve been a little slack. For the most part, you can do well under pressure today.
There isn’t much romance in the sky this week. In fact, the communication energy will be so erratic that it’s possible your brain will be too fried to enjoy love potential anyway. Steer clear of touchy conversations with your mate since Mercury will square Pluto on Wednesday and conjunct erratic Uranus on Thursday. Words can slice, dice and rattle. Ouch!
Aries Horoscope MAR 21 – APR 19
Your bark might be as bad as your bite. There doesn’t seem to be a way for you to hold back when it comes to speaking your mind. As a result, it’s possible that you’ll hurt your partner’s feelings if you wind up discussing a sensitive topic. You may only be interested in your view of the situation so instead of fanning the flames, it might be best if you just talk to yourself this week and refrain from heavy conversation with anyone else.
Taurus Horoscope APR 20 – MAY 20
If you and your partner have a conversation early in the week — no later than Tuesday — it should go well. In particular, the topic is likely to revolve around a joint financial matter. This could be research the two of you are conducting to determine whether or not you want to make a certain investment. It might also be a “hush hush” conversation about your shared resources that you want to keep secret from the rest of the world. That’s fine — it’s nobody else’s business anyway.
Gemini Horoscope MAY 21 – JUN 20
Speak up quickly if there’s an important conversation you need to have with your partner. Tuesday is the deadline because after that, communication will be haywire for everyone. The good news is that you’ll have a special buffer on Tuesday if you and your partner are discussing anything connected to your shared long term dreams. Make a plan together and know that you’ll both be determined to see it through.
Cancer Horoscope JUN 21 – JUL 22
Speaking your mind freely this week might cost you big time in the relationship department. Do your best to avoid engaging in any type of power struggle dialogue with your mate. Although you may be quite tempted to use your words as a deadly weapon, take a step back and consider what is more important to you — the last word or your relationship? Act accordingly.
Leo Horoscope JUL 23 – AUG 22
If you thought you and your sweetie saw eye to eye on the big picture, think again. It’s possible that you’ll discover your partner is ready to explore a new world view, or, that you’re the one thirsty to expand your horizons in a different direction. Radical departure from one way of thinking doesn’t have to drive a wedge in your relationship. Only if you allow it.
Virgo Horoscope AUG 23 – SEP 22
A biting remark from your sweetheart will certainly rub you the wrong way. You might be tempted to retaliate with a few strong words of your own. If your aim is to hurt your partner, reconsider before you express something you can’t take back. A war of words will only deteriorate your relationship. Knowing that communication may be tense this week, why not be proactive instead? Refuse to participate in any nasty dialogue.
Libra Horoscope SEP 23 – OCT 22
A conversation with your mate about a domestic matter may quickly turn into a war of words. Neither you nor your partner wants to give up control over the situation. At the same time however, it’s obvious that if you’re not willing to work together nothing will get resolved. Do your best to welcome original ideas your partner has instead of shooting them down immediately. There might be a nugget of gold in one of them.
Scorpio Horoscope OCT 23 – NOV 21
Love planet Venus might still be moving through your romance sector, but this week you might be too distracted to enjoy any pleasure it would otherwise offer. Tension at work may lead to ugly conversations that become more of a problem than you anticipate. As a result, there might not be much room for fun and games this week. At least allow your lover to comfort you if you’re going through distress. Thankfully, he or she won’t be the source of your problem.
Sagittarius Horoscope NOV 22 – DEC 21
Silence might be your strongest weapon this week. Unfortunately, it appears it might be impossible for you to remain quiet — especially if there’s something you want to say to your lover. Realize that, although communication is important, HOW you convey your message is key. If you present information in a way that leaves your sweetheart on the defensive, you won’t make any progress. If you start to feel as if your lover is shutting you out, ask yourself if it’s because you’re pushing too hard with words.
Capricorn Horoscope DEC 22 – JAN 19
You might be on-edge this week and if so, it’ll be best to keep a low profile. If you must communicate about an important situation with your partner, remember that your words are extra potent now and might be intimidating or off-putting. As a result, your partner may feel as if you’re barking orders or ultimatums rather than having a conversation. Ask yourself — are you?
Aquarius Horoscope JAN 20 – FEB 18
If your social life has any chance to reveal itself this week, it’ll have to be before Wednesday. Mercury and Saturn will link up on Tuesday, allowing you and an old friend to have a solid and realistic conversation. If you need advice about your love life this will be the time to ask. After Wednesday, you might be all over the place mentally. Well-meaning guidance from anyone at this point will only feel like a verbal attack.
Pisces Horoscope FEB 19 – MAR 20
Despite the harsh communication energy, do your best to enjoy Venus in Pisces as much as possible. Since this is the last week love planet Venus will be in your sign and you just don’t want to waste it. She won’t be back for another year so be sure to step out and be your gorgeous, dazzling self. There might be little room for light-hearted conversations but that doesn’t mean you still can’t have some fun. Work it!
It’s all about communication this week, and more important than ever — timing is everything!
Tuesday, March 29: Mercury trine Saturn
Tuesday will be your deadline to make important strides in business meetings, conversations, or negotiations. Pitch an idea to your boss on Monday or Tuesday the latest. Mercury trine Saturn will help you convey ideas responsibly and with authority. Your words will not gain you any respect however after this day.
Wednesday, March 30: Mercury square Pluto
Thursday, March 31: Mercury conjunct Uranus
On Wednesday, Mercury squares off with Pluto and on Thursday, he’ll conjunct Uranus. This is erratic and explosive mental energy. At best, you’ll be consumed with a brilliant idea that you’re tempted to shove down everyone’s throat. At worst? You’ll really aggravate others with your words. Proceed with caution!

Isn’t it amazing how kids can get into the most unexpected messes? It’s like everyday household items become a way to start a fight or hurt yourself over a toy! Even routine things like scrapes, bites, and booboos can make their days (and others) less pleasant in numerous fashions.
Now, I know, you’re family may not look like this, but anybody who has little toddlers can relate that you might just feel this way at times
Here is a compilation of ways essential oils can help heal and soothe children when they are going through a rough patch, and bring some natural peace to yours:
Ringworm – mix 3 drops of Tea Tree and Spearmint and 1 drop of Peppermint and Rosemary with 10 drops of Hemp or Camellia Seed and massage over affected area 2-4 times daily.
Head lice – mix 3 drops of Thyme, Lavender, and Geranium with 10 drops of Evening Primrose or Rosehip and apply to scalp. Massage onto entire scalp, cover with a shower cap, and leave on for a half hour before shampooing and rinsing out.
Blisters – mix 2 drops of Tea Tree with 2 drops of Apricot Kernel and Sweet Almond and apply to blistered area 3-5 times daily.
Bruises and scrapes – mix 1 drop Clove and 4 drops Lavender with 5 drops of Grapeseed. Apply 1-4 times daily as needed.
Sunburn (1st degree/no blisters) – mix 2 drops of Lavender, Rose, or Chamomile with 1 tbsp. of Hemp and apply 1-3 drops with cotton ball to affected area. This reduces inflammation.
Sprain – mix 2 drops of Bail, Pine, Kanuka, and Wintergreen with 6 drops of Macadamia. Apply to sprain 3-5 times daily.
Poison oak/ivy – mix 3 drops of Peppermint or Wintergreen with 3 drops of Avocado and apply to affected area twice daily.
Insect repellent – Mix 6 drops Peppermint, 6 drops Tea Tree, and 9 drops Citronella with 1 tbsp. Hemp. Apply to exposed skin.
I also recommend Pennyroyale as a powerful insect repellant, but it is toxic if ingested so I do not recommend it for children.
Overactive children – diffuse Lavender, or apply to bottom of feet daily.
Bee sting/insect bite – apply 1-2 drops of Lavender, Peppermint, or Wintergreen on a bee sting/insect bite to help with itching and swelling.
