Earth

Solar: Cancer ~ 4th House of the Zodiac ~ Family & Home

Lunar: Gemini / Cancer Axis

Heady erratic air realms give way to the softer tides of the moon mothers waters

Archetypal: Dual Cancerian energy has us tapping into our emotional and intuitive waters. We are likely to feel deeply into our sense of ‘home’ and our relationship to it

Glyph: 69 ~ The dance of ying and yang ~ the merging of the sun and the moon ~ infinity

Elemental: Water

Body wisdom - clearing the energy of the heart between the lungs to tap deeper into the womb waters intuitive realms

Cancer qualities: caring, loyal, loving, intuitive, empathic, nurturing

Shadow: overwhelmed, downtrodden, closed off, hard exterior

This Water Mother Moon is a deep rooted archetype which is perfectly pitched to align with the fertile darkness where the roots grow down - anchoring us into the sustenance of the physical midnight and the hidden wellsprings

The Dark moon is in the North, the Crone, the one crowned with wisdom. Earth, ancestors and ancestresses. Deep body wisdom. Physical stones and bones

In this dark moon energy consider the Mother, the emotional realm and what seeds need to be planted in this moons turning

Remember that the root reaches down first, seeking out water and nutrients, before the shoot reaches up for the solar energy

Litha has passed and as we turn towards the descent we move in the next axis towards the first harvest of Lammas. This is a time to look back and see what we have grown, how we have bloomed so far.

There is a sense of relief as we return homeward after the heady output of Gemini season

How can I soften in the waters of cancer to receive the nourishment of life towards me. How can I feel at home in myself - enough to feel what needs to be felt. Clearing the riverbed. Unsettling the sediment and shifting things long held playing out in the head and needing to be felt

Blessings on your rivers
