- As you’ll see in this episode with astrologer and herbalist Maeg Keane, there’s much more to blackberry than an astringent herb to help bind up loose stools or diarrhea!
For instance… What if blackberry could teach you about setting boundaries and letting go of what’s not serving you? These are just two of the astrology-inspired perspectives that Maeg explores in our conversation.
But even on a more physical plane, what’s not to love about a plant that:
► Gives you a delicious dose of antioxidants and a blood tonic all in one
► Can bring some relief from leaky, boggy allergy symptoms
► Tightens up mouth ulcers or spongy gums
► and more…
By the end of this episode, you’ll know:
► How astrology and herbalism complement each other
► When a very simple herbal recipe is best
► A possible remedy to call upon for relief from acute or traveler’s diarrhea
Here is one of my favorite takeaways from our conversation:
There’s “a belief that there’s only one way to know the truth, that it has to look like lab coats for it to be true. I think that is one way that we find out what the truth is… and I don’t think we should walk away from it. And there are many others that predate it and live alongside it.” (Timestamp: 9:24)
For those of you who don’t already know Maeg, they are a consulting astrologer, herbalist, and writer. Their work is rooted in an animist, devotional approach that tends to the ties that bind us to each other and to the more-than-human world. Whether relating to the stars from which we come or to the alive and wise planet we call home, Maeg hopes to bring people into nourishing companionship with the teeming, enchanted world around them. They run Third Sister, an online client practice through which they offer one-on-one astrology readings and herbal care.
Meag weaves perspectives and disciplines together in such a kind, gentle, grounded, and thought-provoking way. I’m so excited to share our conversation with you today!

I think it was because of its high mineral content (silica, calcium, etc.) but I've had blackberry in a vinegar infusion for bone health. This was a fun episode! Thank you all for your work!!
This was so fun to listen to.💚 I've never even heard anyone talk about plants/herbs in relation to planets and astrology. Thanks to you both, I really enjoyed listening!
