Roots matter.

‘Ten of Cups’ from MotherPeace Tarot by Vicki Noble

Astrology

Today, there is a lesson from herbalism: The synergy of the entire plant and its’ therapeutic properties is where the healing takes place. That is, every part of the plant matters, and the relationship of the whole is the fuel itself. Furthermore, it’s not just the pretty, perfumed aerial parts of the plant that matter.

Roots matter as well.

The Moon is approaching its fullest tomorrow in Cancer. She asks us to look at our home life, our foundation, and within our bodies, our spiritual home. We have our physical structures of our home, in the kitchen and the bedroom, and the living room and the entrance. We have our physical body that houses every cell and the soul that permeates the essence of life itself in every neuronal connection and memory, ancestral and present. Remember that all parts of your house need nurturing and care to function and provide the safety that your heart needs to thrive.

The Moon trine Uranus (5:58am PST) is a time to play with the Great Awakener. Uranus wants to discover, to liberate, and to innovate our structures that need dusting and reminding that every corner and every door is an entrance and a safe keeping for what we know and share about ourselves and what must yet still uncover. You may not like what is unearthed at times, but the upheaval of self-discovery and growth that occurs when the vines break through the cracks and shine new light into your home allows for the wild, luxurious growth of new life to bloom. Dig your roots into fertile soil and you will rise up again.

Sun conjunct Pluto (6:51am PST) asks you to embrace the power residing within your solar plexus and your Zodiac sign and let it shine. Animate the animal within you in a rebirthing process necessary for you move out of this cycle and into the new one. Pluto is tempestuous, so prepare for a standoff between your ego and this passionate planet. Invite your shadow to join the dance and see what is revealed.

Moon opposite Venus (12:50pm PST) sounds scarier than it is. Just pay attention to your susceptibilities towards jealousy or passive aggressive behavior. It’s okay to be upset about not feeling like you’re getting the attention you deserve. Speak from your heart and share what you’re feeling. Bottling it up inside will only eat you alive as it settles into some secret, dark, and hidden corner within you that you’ll forget about. Don’t let that disappointment fester, collect dust, and become something that it doesn’t need to. Bring it into the light and let it grow into a healthier plant and a potent moment of self healing and resurrection.

Tarot Card of the Day

Ten of Cups

As you go about your day, remember your flowers, your seeds, and your roots. Remember the organelles and constituents of your power residing within every cell and memory of your ancestors still living within you. Remember the intangible spirit of your life force that permeates every cell and watery realm within and without, above and below, and everywhere in between where living and nonliving things still breathe. Feel it become tangible when you raise your cup to your loved ones, both present and gone. They are with you now, filling the waters of eternity with the wisdom to help you live another day with grace, purpose, and gratitude.

Have a wonderful day!
