Mother & Moon Report: Dec 10
the moon sees grounding and nourishing care in your (near) future today
Every day for the rest of the week (today is day 2!), I’ll share:
the moon’s vibe // quick, cosmic mood check on what the moon is stirring in our emotional, creative, and mother-woman bodies today
the maaaayhem // the messy, chaotic, slightly unhinged edges this moon might yank to the surface
the medicine // the grounded, soulful (sometimes uncomfortable) truth the day is inviting you to lean into—the thing your wiser self already knows ;)
a micro-ritual + spell // a tiny, doable moment of embodiment or intention to help you anchor the energy instead of getting swept under it.
The Vibe Today
Moon in Virgo. Waning Gibbous.We’ve slid from Leo’s spotlight-showroom into Virgo’s back-door laundry room.
This moon is asking us to make sense of the chaos and to sort the glitter from the dust (so to speak). It’s giving *investigative energy.*
With Moon in Virgo + Mercury still in Scorpio + Venus/Mars in Sagittarius, the day feels a lil like, “Let me analyze the hell out of everything…and then run toward the next exciting possibility.”
The Mayhem
Hiii after party hangover feeling!yesterday’s heart-on-fire might turn into today’s tight jaw, buzzing nerves, or overstimulated exhaustion.
little annoyances feel big (yup, bigger than yesterday with this eagle-eyed, tuned in Virgo energy! you’ve got little to no patience for the dishes stacking weirdly, toys out of place, awkward smells, and noises that grate on your eardrums
the internal tug-of-war: part of you wants to organize, clean, and make sense of the mess—the other part wants to say “BYYYYE world” and disappear for a bit (or a while)
✦ Self-Inquiry:
What if the friction/chaos/mess I’m feeling isn’t another “to-do” or failure—but a signal to pay attention? What’s trying to get my attention under the irritation, and what would feel lighter if I finally heard it?
MY PERSONAL NOTES:
Mhmmm. Yup. There’s been a lot of friction with “receiving support” and feeling guilt around having people help out. Even when they are being paid to do so 🤪
My husband texted me this morning saying, “I’m going to ask XXX (our nanny) to work later tomorrow and Friday. You need more support. I know it’s asking a lot of her but that’s what she’s there for. You’re pregnant and exhausted, we don’t need to be martyrs.”
EEEEE. CRUNCH. I am so hyper aware of making sure other people aren’t overloaded. Especially when I feel like I’m being “dramatic” about my load…because it might not SEEM like a lot from the outside. But internally, a lot is happening.
So yes…even though I already do have a lot more support than other people (hence the guilt), I’m a needy little bitch right now (and kinda always), and so just really owning that and releasing the stigma of shame/embarrassment/guilt around it is something I know will be WILDLY supportive for me.
The Medicine
Today invites you to honor the slow work behind the scenes and tend to the ground beneath your lil footsies.The day is great for:
naming what’s not working
cleaning one small corner of your life
telling the truth kindly
planning your next thing
resting your overstimulated nervous system
Terrible for:
making yourself wrong for needing a minute
pretending you don’t want more
micro-managing where the energy naturally wants to flow
So…lean into the small rituals: cleaning with intention, organizing one little spot, soft lighting to set the mood, making nourishing food, soft silence, deeeep breaths.
This moon isn’t about fireworks and a show—it’s about care and tenderness.
✦ Self-Inquiry
What would it look like to mother yourself gently today? What small act of care (for your body, your space, or your mind) would feel like a swoonalicious dream offered to your future self? Do that ;)
MY PERSONAL NOTES:
Hmmmmmmm…currently sitting here writing this with a yummy cup of tea. So that feels delish.
But what I think would be a great gift to myself is to give myself EXTRA TIME.
So the space in-between appointments, errands, pick-up, calls, etc. feels well, spacious, and there isn’t a frantic rushing around and squeeeeezing-things-out-til-the-verrrrry-last-moment dance going on that I usually do.
Wish me luck ;)
Micro-Ritual & Spell (30 seconds, pinky swear)
Pour a cup of water (or tea). Hold the cup in both hands. Close your eyes. Feel the weight, the warmth, and the present moment.
Invocation:
“I welcome the quiet. I let the dust settle softly without needing to force anything. I give myself nourishing time and space—and that makes all the difference.”
Take slow, savoring sips and allow yourself to soak in the stillness of even just 30 seconds!!
