The willow is another water loving tree. Willow bark contains Salicin which is used 
in the treatment of rheumatic fever and various damp diseases. Her catkins, which appear 
in early spring before her leaves, attract bees to start the cycle of pollination.
She indicates cycles, rhythms and the ebb and flux. 

Physical: A comfortable relationship to the material world is full of lessons and 
cycles of changing values. Change is necessary for growth, and values are no exception 
to the rule. 
Mental: To gain understanding of a particular concept, a steady accumulation of facts is 
the foundation that brings understanding. All cannot be learned in one lesson. 
Repetition is the key. 
Spiritual: This is a period of taking it easy rather than full speed ahead. Learn to play 
with the cyclical nature of things.
