I so relate to this…..the many hours pulling and pulling. I am now in a locale where it doesn’t grow naturally so I can only revisit it in memory. One of my strong memories of this plant is the strong tenacious root system of many roots spreading out and deep. And also its incredibly tough stems. It needs to be that to withstand the prairie winds and hold its flowers tall tall and aloft pointing to the sun. This toughness and ability to be pliable and not breakable has me curious if it may have affinities to the tough connective tissues, like ligaments, or even bone. Intuitively, I keep getting ‘circulatory’ with a feeling of the vessels and their toughness and capacity to move and retain shape and hierarchies while still functioning fully in our mobile bodies, and even with some traumas. As I reflect with these perceptions, Saturn and it’s signs of Capricorn and Aquarious arise as areas to explore. Though Leo with the arterial association also arises, along with the very sunny aspects of this sun loving plant, with its mini suns reflecting back to the big one in the sky.
