Sacred Rose
Dear Blossoming Soul,
As the Waxing Gibbous Moon transitions from Cancer to Leo today, our focus shifts to the delicate balance between boundaries and blossoming growth. Under the theme of BOUNDARIES & BLOOMS, we draw inspiration from the rose, with both its delicate beauty and protective thorns, as a symbol of our own complexities.
Like the rose, we possess both softness and strength, beauty and boundaries. Today challenges us to reflect on our personal boundaries, drawing wisdom from the rose’s thorns.
Consider the areas of your life where boundaries are needed – whether it’s in relationships, work, or self-care. Are there situations where you’ve allowed others to cross your boundaries, leaving you feeling drained or depleted? Or perhaps there are areas where you’ve erected walls, shielding yourself from vulnerability and connection.
Reflect on how you can honor your own needs and protect your emotional well-being, without sacrificing your authenticity or hindering your growth. Just as the rose’s thorns serve to safeguard its delicate petals, so too can your boundaries serve to preserve your innermost essence while allowing you to flourish and bloom.
The duality of your nature – the softness and the strength, the vulnerability, and the resilience are your gifts. As the Waxing Gibbous Moon moves into Leo, let its fiery energy ignite a sense of empowerment within you, enabling you to assert your boundaries with grace and confidence.
Today’s self-love rituals have you taking time to REFLECT, MEDITATE, TEA.
Daily Oracle Card
The oracle card for day 21 is THE GRANDMOTHERS. This card speaks of reaching backward in order to go forward. To remember the wisdom of the ancestors in order to heal and integrate all you’ve inherited, this is what we’ve been called to do. We need to be so grounded in who we are, that no matter how difficult life gets, our heart is home.
Drawing THE GRANDMOTHERS when we explore our BOUNDARIES & BLOOMS reminds us that we have all the wisdom and power within us that we need. Drawing boundaries can be difficult. We often feel we need to choose between being soft or hard. The rose shows us that we don’t need to choose, we can be both, and our ancestors remind us that this knowledge is in our blood and bones just waiting to be called upon.
THE GRANDMOTHERS remind us who we were born to be. Let this guide you in how you can honor your own needs and protect your emotional well-being, without sacrificing your authenticity or hindering your growth. Just as the rose’s thorns serve to safeguard its delicate petals, so too can your boundaries serve to preserve your innermost essence while allowing you to flourish and bloom.
