Crab Moon Advice

Would a Cancerian love this dress???  Perhaps it’s too short but it fits the nostalgia vibe perfectly.

Bugga the flash-nostalgia. I just had a zinger of a moment, apropos of nothing i remembered v.clearly the moment an Ex told me he loved me. And then a Proust moment (he was a Cancerian, obviously) when i got a whiff of baby shampoo.

Cancerian/Kataka Moons require careful Mood Management.

You have to modulate them so you get a pleasant flow of emotions & pleasure in the small things, cooking, nurturing et al but not freaking out in paranoid fits. May i suggest a news fast?

And, lol, the square to Saturn AND Pluto is not particularly helpful though it’s great for brute clarity. So mood, emotional and with a ruthless edge.

We need to emulate Artemis/Diana – the Moon Goddess herself – and go wandering in moonlit groves. The Moon is nearly Full so it’s strong enough. In fact, tonight is perfect for Full Moon meanderings.

If I ran my astrological dictatorship, I would demand that everyone go for a moonlight stroll this evening…It’s bright enough and the Moon is moving to trine Venus. Notice how there are always  more cats out and about on the nights nearest to the Full Moon.

Okay so the Moon is in Kataka/Cancer & merrily squaring Saturn + Pluto.

Apart from peeps being tetchy and the Saturn-Pluto square (next full on in July/August) being twanged – note subtle omens – it’s a big one for Flash Nostalgia…1989, a la the pic above…Ah yes, and good old middle-of-2003.

Flash-Nostalgia is when suddenly someone/something just flashes into your mind in a w.t.f. moment. It’s not even necessarily a person with even a NANO of bearing upon your current life. Totally random. Or is it.

Still, with a Full Moon in Virgo looming who on earth has time to sit around goobling over the past. Unless it’s still spookily relevant.

When the Moon’s all Crabby, herbal teas and remedies work heaps better than usual. Consider a flower remedy to help balance any goo-goo emotions in flux.

I don’t know why but i visualize the owner of this truck as an Aries Courier turned Spy/Lie Detector after a Pluto transit.

So his name is Troy and this is now the job he does.

If you ring him, he’ll be there on-the-hop, a bit caffeinated or straight from the gym and insanely buff.

He’s got a Cancerian Moon so takes the infidelity/disloyalty aspect of his work v.seriously and gets WAY too involved with his clients.

His actual machinery is really out-of-date and inaccurate – Mercury Retrograde in Pisces so he relies more on intuition than the machinery and thank fuq he does Muay Thai because husbands and boyfriends are forever trying to bash him.

Thoughts?

So classic. Cancerian Moon strikes and all i wanna do is become a flower-chile. If I can’t cuddle a lamb in a haystack then i can fuq around with self-concocted herbal tea blends, croon to the plants, make my own thigh-blaster scrub with pomegranate seeds or something…But you see, everyone is too ruthlessly focussed with the Saturn-Pluto Square (gone by Feb 2 – don’t bother “relaxing” till then) & engineering evolutionary change to stop and cuddle the lambs…

I know that what i DO need is the Huggable Pillow Of Light.  Everyone should have one, if only to bring out during these Crabby Moons.

The Moon loves to be in the sign of Cancer, sign of her rulership…Despite all the Full Moonie merde the next few days one can be productively emo, sooky goo-goo with loved ones/loyal confidantes and deeply aware. Think also herbal Zen Hippy as way to cope with the intensifying of the Saturn-Uranus opposition. Actually, i just thought of this; the combo of Mars conjunct Neptune and the Cancerian Moon and Venus going retrograde etc make this the ideal weekend to practice Haute Meditation…Yes.

Download something haute-hippy and Zen Noire from Sequoia & see how far you can ramp up your meditation et al. Saggos will naturally astral travel the furtherest whilst Leos will be upgraded to connecting with a supreme being the most quickly, because the SB feels Leo can relate to the vagaries of Supreme Beinghood. The Cancerian Moon is also always heaven for sharing fave fairy tales and myths with children…

Moonflower (or how the Moonhorses came to Japan)…is the sweetest little fairy tale…

“Hundreds of years before the Europeans developed rubber, the Aztecs mixed the juice of moonflower with tree latex to produce an elastic they made into rubber bands, hammers, and balls for a ritual game. A relative of the morning glory, moonflowert has its cousin’s heart-shaped leaves and vining habit, but instead of greeting the Sun, like the morning glory does, the flowers of this Moon plant open in late afternoon and stay open for one night, which makes them wonderful in Moon gardens. They are pollinated by moths drawn to their scent, which humans can smell too, if they have the genes for it (not everyone can perceive the scent of some white flowers).  The presence of moths in turn can attract bats, Hekate’s friends. Try inhaling the scent of moonflowers before doing divination or before going to bed in order to produce prophetic dreams…”  From here…

Fascinating re how some peeps don’t have the genes to smell some white flowers???  But i would be wary re even copping a whiff of Moonflower now, having read this…from here

“…Highly toxic! WARNING! These are some of the names for Datura: Jimson Weed, Moonflower, Devil’s Weed, Hell’s Bells. Devil’s Cucumber, Thorn-Apple, Devil’s Trumpet, Pricklyburr…”

Does anyone know about this stuff??

It would be so anti-Saturn-in-Virgo/Pluto in Cap to addle one’s brains sniffing Moonflower scent in the garden under the nearly-Full Cancerian Moon…BUT then again, you can buy Moonflower body wash (?!) on Amazon“…Used as a psychedelic in nordic traditions, the moonflower helps you find refuge. It is a blue escape, in the cold clear waters. with notes of boronia, freesia, apple blossom and birch, moonflower lit in the background will cause a welcome moment of recluse….”

But I am serious about the meditation though; most amazing weekend for it in yonks & may even help with the retro-Venus romantic nostalgia, if it strikes.

And another ancient Moon myth; the Babylon Moon God – Sin.

Ah, another Cancerian Moon & another Zen-Noire-Hippy-Wicca-Herbal jag. I am even drinking Nettle tea & have been fluffing around with the Feng Shui, doing nurturing things with my daughter & feeling all spiritual re cleaning out my undies drawer. And, in the spirt of all this, here is fantasic page re Organic Tampons for women perhaps unaware of the potential probs with dioxins in conventional san-product manufacturing and this is a more radical rant from  Amber Magnolia, the Quintessential Aquarius re the same subject.

And whilst I am in this  mood, this weekend honestly is a good time to nourish thyself properly and with awareness. And to feel your emotions as opposed to trying to suppress or rationalise them. Really. The Cancerian Moon always is. And this Moon in particular like a little oasis amidst the scorching winds of Aries & Aquarius…And Saturn in Virgo-Pluto in Cap. And before the Lunar Eclipse in drama-queenie Leo, when you might  just want to have already clarified your feelings together beforehand. Take your non-judgemental emo-oceanic vibe when you can get it…And, I am for real, organic sanitary products are brill.

Note: And I really like Amber Magnolia, the Quintessential Aquarius. I think she is onto something with the home funerals idea.

So, as I suspected, the Cancerian Full Moon bought me out in full Zen-Noire-Hippy mode, with the usual Crab Moon carbophilia…I am talking:

* New appreciation of the daffier herbal teas, such as the dandelion & burdock combo, hippy insights gleaned from watering garden & feeling sense of communion with all botanical life. Especially the parsely. eg; how plants thrive depending on the quality of the soil & the nurturing, the heat, the light blah de blah, the desire to cook something ‘properly’ and musing upon lentils + the genius of sprouting, lecture-nurturing peeps re vitamins/water etc, pondering making a patchwork quilt for five seconds, patchouli oil as (temporary) signature scent, thinking that the cats are resonating at a higher viber than usual & buying them extravagant fish to thank them for being so feline, doing laundry as mystical ritual,  decided to get more serious about my chamomile lawn as chamomile most likely sacred, trying to have ‘deep’ conversations re feelings with children, whom sensing sentiment immediately attempt to alchemise the moment into retail purchases, to ensure their sense of security remains intact.

Which is also tres Crab moon. The comforting new nightgown, the freshly washed pillowcases, a fridge full of actual food as opposed to the latest Aquarian vitamins/supplements regime. During such a benevolently aspected Full Moon in the sign of Gaia, it’s naturally so much easier to feel deep emotions & sit comfortably with them. Ditto feeling a connection to Terra. Live it up with the Zen-Noire-Hippy awareness vibe guys because Jupiter in Aquarius is moving toward the North Node & things are about to get a lot more expansively weirder. Positive. But still weird. This Moon is the last chance to look back fondly & with a goobly counsellory persective/sentimental smirk of understanding for a while.
