The Earth Mother Moon is a deep rooted archetype which is perfectly pitched to align with the fertile darkness where the roots grow down in the darkness.

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

Cancers moon waters will tap into our emotional body - can we witness being too overprotective of our emotions or others? What narratives about our emotional body need to be nurtured and held in the bosom of the family? When are we leaning too far into emotional turmoil, or dragged under by our emotions?

Themes that may be highlighted under this aspect are - Our relationship with Mother archetype in ourselves. Our relationship with how we ‘mother’ others. Our own Mother and the relational field between us.

Cancer is a cardinal sign - that is one of the signs that initiates. So there is a sense that water needs to flow through the next journey of renewal

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

Remember that the root reaches down first before the shoot reaches up

Give thanks for your beautiful body temple and give gratitude for your home and what you have cultivated

Remember that to nurture and mother anything you first need to take time to nurture yourself - to continually keep and fill the wellspring

May you walk in the gnosis of your intuition and be guided by that wisdom for your own path

Blessings on the many petalled path
