Moon In Cancer

Moon in Cancer::

Nurturing the "seeds" you planted at the new moon, this week you begin to see the first true leaves of your future bounty. 

Take a moment to celebrate your progress so far.

With the moon traveling through its home sign of Cancer in a trine by sign to the Sun, Jupiter and Neptune in Pisces, this is a time for water and sunshine to give way to massive growth.

Ask yourself: How can I nurture my plans to make sure I reach my goal?

Don't hover like a Helicopter mom, blocking the light. Instead, give some breathing room to your seedlings. Pinch off the smaller ones, leaving more room for the rest.

Ask yourself: Where can I cut back to make more room for what matters the most?

This weekend is good for cutting back on things that block your light in order to have space for things that truly nourish your roots.

So have a bit of a social media cleanse, eat some great food, read that book, hang out with loved ones or just cuddle up on the couch with a good movie.

Water your soul.

Venus in Aquarius 2022

Well into the calendar year, but on the cusp of a new astrological year, early March is a time to look back in order to move forward. Especially this year, with Venus finally leaving an extended retrograde season in Capricorn, it's time for a reevaluation.

The line between Capricorn and Aquarius is one of structure and restructuring, of rules, and questioning those rules, of line of stability and the potential genius that lies just beyond its comforting border.

But chaos also lives beyond that line. Its eccentricity is the causal factor of that genius, of that exponential potential, yes, but also births other, not such pleasant things.

As we move into the waning year of the Saturn Uranus square, we must decide how much we value freedom versus structure, what we are willing to risk for potential, and how much we are willing to work to try to keep both.

With all planets direct now, forward momentum is necessary, but might feel cumbersome or heated with Mars and Saturn energy weighing on the planet of beauty, peace and grace.

Slow and steady steps take you there.

New Moon in Pisces

This past week, we started a little indoor winter garden, turning baskets from the trash heap and a bit of left over screen mesh to make containers for some indoor carrots, lettuce, cilantro and bell pepper. We already have sprouts! Proud plant parents 🤩🌱🌱

While we are on the subject of planting hopeful seeds, let's talk about this week's new moon in Pisces 🐠 because this is

Big. Hope. Energy.

This is probably one of the best energies of the year to sow seeds that will grow into big fields of fluffy dreams, the kind you run through barefoot in a summer dress, arms outstretched, head thrown back, heart reaching to the sky. 💞

On wednesday at 12:35 pm est, the moon will meet with the sun at 12 degrees Pisces. This new moon is basically hugging Jupiter at 14 degrees Pisces and in an optimistic and opportunistic sextile with Uranus in Taurus.

Meanwhile, Venus and Mars, the celestial lovers, are entwined in a tryst with Pluto, the God of the underworld, in Capricorn. In capricorn, this energy certainly has an intense affect on world affairs, but in our personal lives, we can channel this energy constructively. Marry intense (pluto) passionate action (mars) with your true desires (venus) to achieve acclaim (capricorn). Do not succumb to the pressure of intensity, remember that those darkest moments are actually when our seeds are buried in the compost. It looks like the end, but green is about to burst forth from beneath the surface.

We just need to handle this high-heat energy with intention and mental focus. 🧠

A conjunction between Saturn and mercury in the airy sign of aquarius, while a sobering energy, gives us the mental preservence that we need right now. The ethereal energy happening in Pisces can sweep us away into a daydream, but Saturn and Mercury will help us remember to water our precious seeds, so they sprout and grow up strong.

Take most advantage of this energy by getting super clear on your biggest dream. If you don't have one, ask yourself "what would bring me joy in these turbulent times?" Create a plan (saturn) with systems- small daily steps (mercury) that will give your seeds the light, water and nutrients that they need.

It's time to grow seeds in winter.
