Om Sarvamangalayai Namaha
Sun: 17 Aquarius
Moon: 12 Cancer, 145 degrees from Sun
Inner Moon: transition between proliferation and ovulation
Moon Vibes:
The lover in ecstatic union with the beloved and the creator in sync with their audience. This phase relates to Beltane, spring equinox. Heightened senses, pleasure, amusement. In tantra yoga, this is the descending in-breath from soft palette to the throat, represents the first quarter of daylight and the element is water. In the hero’s journey, this is where we are facing fears, doubts, and uncertainties. We get an opportunity to show what we know through the trails and tests that are occurring now. In the menstrual cycle, waxing gibbous is a transition phase between the building up of the uterine nest and the high of ovulation. Use warm comfort foods and root vegetables.
Moon in Cancer
- Moon in Cancer corresponds with breasts, womb, ovary, stomach, mucousa.
- Waxing phases are for growth, increasing, building up.
- Thinking of Cancer’s nurturing nature and waxing Moon, where do you want to direct your healing energy today and tomorrow? Consider also harmonious aspects with Mercury and Moon on North Node.
- Cancer is the sign most resonate with Moon vibes. May we be disciplined into better ways and feel the love of Grandma Moon.
Nutrition suggestion:
Moon in Cancer is a great time to heal mucous membranes. I recommend making a strong infusion of mullein and drinking as a tea while Moon is in Cancer. If you dont have access to mullein, look at this website and pick a new food from the list of mucus reducing list, which are heal the mucousa by not causing further damage.
Ritual:
Call in sacred space, reestablish boundaries, give thanks. Set up an at home yoni/lingam steam. Here’s a basic set up:
- Camping potty chair
- Pot of boiled water with plants in it. Start with something generally healing like calendula, lavender and rose.
- Set the pot under the chair.
- Sit on the chair with the herbal steam under you. You can cover up with a sheet or blanket depending on how warm you want to feel.
- If you want ongoing steam, you can use a crock pot. This will take more preparation time, but worth it.
- Take this time to mediate, relax, relish in the bliss of your sexuality. I like to imagine cleansing, healing, releasing any energy that is ready to shift. Read: Good Pussy
When you feel complete, close sacred space and give thanks.
Astrology info to consider:
Moon last degrees of Gemini this morning. Opposite Mars and square Venus. Feels like our inner healer (Moon) is harmonizing feminine/masculine within. Are you feeling any conflict or resolution around your sexual polarity? Or around relationships including sexuality? Mars/Neptune square can be diluting our masculinity or infusing it with consciousness and depth. Conversely, Mars can take action and deliver Neptune’s love and mystical power out into the world. How do you take action in the world with your whole consciousness? How do you make your dreams reality? Moon in harmonious aspect with Mercury all day helps us to integrate new perception

- What is the mission of the dream?
- What information is your body sensing?

- Reflect on and write all details, no matter how small.
