Mother & Moon Report: Dec 11
The moon is here to free you from the shit you’ve been pretending isn’t weighing you down. GULP.
Every day for the rest of the week (today is day 3!), 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 still in Virgo (but deeeeper now). Last Quarter moon.Virgo moon wants order, Venus and Mars in Sagittarius stoke desire and impulse, and Jupiter retrograde in Cancer gently (…or not-so-gently) pulls old emotional stories to the surface. You’ve got grounding and longing, clarity and chaos, rest and restless wanting alllllll swirling together. OH LORDYYYY!
Today is not “calm Virgo.” Today is Virgo sharpened by Scorpio-Mercury truth serum. She’s sorting your inner landscape: the resentments, the cravings, the unmet needs, the small lies you tell to keep the peace, the quiet truths you swallow to stay “good.”
The Mayhem
Today the truth doesn’t stay quiet. The body doesn’t lie. And those previously sneaky patterns have no place to hide. GULP.You might feel:
hyper-aware of subtext, tone, body language
emotionally sensitive but mentally sharp
irritated by inefficiency, vagueness, fluff
pulled between Virgo practicality and Sagittarian restlessness
like everything needs a tune-up
like something is “off” even if no one else notices
like you want to say something you’ve been holding for days (weeks, months, hey, maybe even years)
the urge to reorganize your life or burn it down (no middle ground lol)
✦ Self-Inquiry:
Sorta similar to yesterday…but asked in a different way…What tiny irritation is actually pointing to a much deeper need I have—but maaaaybe I haven’t been brave enough to name that need yet? And how would taking care of this need actually free my soul?
MY PERSONAL NOTES:
For me, there are a lot of little to medium health things going on. Yes, it’s effing annoying that I’ve been sick for basically every week for the past 2 months. I’m blaming it on my pregnancy immune system…buuuut what if I could be more resilient? My sleep is mehhhh. My energy is BLAHHH. And again…I keep chalking it up to pregnancy and maybe it is just that. But something deeper within me knows there’s MORE that I can do to support myself and my health. And not from a place of I NEED TO DO ALL THE THINGS OMG STRESS. But from a place of my body DESERVES to be nourished and loved and supported to the very best of my ability.
This would free up soooo much MENTAL SPACE. omggggg. The amount of time I spend stressing about things is cray. And my body would feel so much more alive and free and have a greater capacity to be the full-range woman I deeply desire.
The Medicine
The medicine of today is discernment without self-judgment.Scorpio-Mercury wants the REAL truth.
Virgo Moon wants the CLEAN truth.
Sagittarius planets want the LIBERATING truth.
Sit with your softer self—the one Jupiter retrograde in Cancer is vibin’ with! The one that remembers womb, healing, nostalgia, home, and roots anchor us back into our truth and alignment.
So the medicine is:
Tell yourself the truth without turning it into a self-critique.
Feel into what feels out of algnment…and what tiny adjustment would feel kind to you today.
This is the kind of day where:
one honest conversation softens everything
one small adjustment in expectations brings relief
one admission (“I’m tired,” “I need help,” “I want more,” “I’m not okay”) opens new possibilities
one boundary becomes non-negotiable
one desire stops pretending to be polite or palatable or not “too much”
✦ Self-Inquiry
If I stopped demanding more from myself, and focused on one thing that would FREE me…what would my mind/body/soul finally be free to experience?
MY PERSONAL NOTES:
Hmmm for me this is more around business and purpose. I recently wrote about desperate I feel to FIND *MY THING* and with that comes the pressure of “getting it right” or making it “big.” I have a tendency going BALLS TO THE WALLS with an idea and then burning out (which I wrote about here). So instead of DEMANDING that I figure it out and birth an ENTIRE BRAND UNIVERSE in a week like I normally do, I’m focusing on MY JOY. My TURN ON. MY ALIVENESS. The things that are lighting me up and that I’m enjoying. Not for it to “make sense” or make any cents (ha ha ha, I think I’m witty!), but just for it to fulfill me.
I had an epic call with my astrologer Tami Burke yesterday and her invitations for me were:
To follow the energy of Uranus in the 10th House by exploring new career ideas without pressure.
She shared, “You can be good at anything, you know. So the question for you then, with that Taurus in Scorpio is, how does it feel in my body? Does it bring pleasure to me? Would I enjoy doing it in a moment-to-moment in real life way…not just the idea of it?” OMG THIIIIIS. I can truly be successful in whatever I do, I know that, I feel that. But I don’t actually ENJOY everything…or most things. Haha. And I definitely get off on the ideas of things but not the actual execution of them. So…I need to really get off on the in the moment doing of the thing! DUH. But wow. Needed that reminder.
And with my Midheaven in Gemini, constantly check in to see , “Is it fun? Do I like to do it?!”
The ultimate assignment for now was to start an “energy journal” to track what feels alive and pleasurable each day. And to start to notice each of the things as little bread crumbs and threads that can weave together to create “my thing”—but all in due time and with the energy of exploration over forcing.
Feels so yum to me, so if you want to take it on for yourself, be my guest!!
Micro-Ritual & Spell (30 seconds, pinky swear)
Sit with your face up on your lap.
Inhale through the nose.
Exhale through parted lips.
Ask:
“What am I carrying/holding?”
Wait…then ask…
“What is mine to carry?”
And finally…
“What is not mine?”
Let your body respond before your mind.
Spell:
“I release what isn’t mine to hold. I call forth and claim what frees me.”
Take one more breath to seal it in. Mmmm yessss!
