“Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness. If, in our heart, we still cling to anything - anger, anxiety, or possessions - we cannot be free.”
― Thich Nhat Hanh
Blessings Beautiful Cosmic Soul,
Did you know that January was named after the Roman God Janus, protector of doorways and gates? Janus has two heads facing opposite directions, looking to both the past and future.
We have a Full Moon 16° of Cancer on Friday January 6, 2023 at approximately 4:07PM MST.
Nurturing Cancer is ruled by the moon and the element of water, both representing emotions, our subconscious and dreams.
The sun is still in Capricorn, ruled by Saturn, the planet of discipline, lessons, and responsibility.
Cancer is the Mother archetype and Capricorn is the Father archetype.
We can utilize this energy as an opportunity to re-parent our inner child to meet our own needs by giving ourselves paternal support and maternal nurturing.
The Sun is in Capricorn from December 22-January 19
Capricorn is the sign of Career & Goals.
While the Sun is in Capricorn try prioritizing your day, week and month, making plans for peak energy efficiency. In the evenings set an alarm for the next day and get to bed early.
While the Moon is in Cancer be cozy at home, take time for self care, reflect on emotions, connect with family, and eat nurturing foods.
Affirmation: “I Nurture Myself”
