it’s wednesday, november 24, & moon is in cancer, in the starspace called pushya. cancer vibrates with the frequency of the divine feminine, of unconditional love. under the sway of this energy, we want to give love just b/c we can, just b/c love is our true nature, just b/c it feels good to let it flow like a river, like water over rocks, gently caressing away their hardness, softening their edges. the potential downside to cancer is overgiving, caring so much about what others need, making sure everyone else feels good, that we forget about our own needs, about how we feel. the truth is, if we aren’t feeling loved up, we can’t really, truly love others up. so let’s not be shy—or, gasp, feel guilty—about loving on ourselves!
pushya is represented by a cow’s udders & invokes the motherly nourishing quality of cancer. prash trivedi says pushya “is that place on our journey where we can rest safely & peacefully without anything to fear,” that it “brings us back to that state in our infancy where we are safely nestled in our mother’s arms.” just writing that makes me feel as if i’m swaddled in the coziest blanky & being rocked in my mama’s arms! can you envision & feel into the experience of being safe & unconditionally loved? can you facilitate that experience for someone else?
it’s the fifth lunar day, the fifth phase of the waning moon, which, like cancer, is ruled by the moon. so we get to double-down on healing & nurturing—whether we focus it on ourselves or others.
wednesday is ruled by mercury, who loves to stretch himself creatively & intellectually, explore new territory, see things from a different perspective. what resonates with us, what we say yes to & no to is how we figure out who we be, hone our authentic expression. sometimes this means meeting our edge, which can bring some discomfort, make us doubt ourselves.
“if you don’t want to have imposter syndrome, just keep doing the same shit you’ve always been doing—don’t try anything new, don’t stretch yourself.” — aubrey marcus
