Day 10: Waning Crescent in Sagittarius

Sacred Rose

Dear Blossoming Soul,

My daughter recently called me out. Or perhaps a better way of saying it is that she called me in.

She said something that invited me to look inward, not with judgment, but with honesty, at a comforting pattern that isn’t actually serving me.

One of my intentions has been to expand my social world. To open my heart more fully to connection, and yes, to love and romance. And yet, it’s hard to do that while continuing to move through the same familiar rhythms. Spending time with the same people. Saying no to new engagements. Choosing the comfort of what’s known over the vulnerability of trying something new.

I had canceled a meetup because of a migraine. She knew I hadn’t felt well. But a week passed, and I hadn’t rescheduled.

She noticed.

She gently reflected back to me that this didn’t align with how I want to be treated or with what I say I want for my life. If I truly want new connections, I have to make room for them. Not force them. But invite them.

Effort feels harder when the outcome is uncertain. When novelty asks more of us than comfort ever will. It’s easier to stay close to what’s familiar, even when it quietly limits our freedom.

Under this waning crescent in Sagittarius, I’m seeing how my idea of freedom can sometimes hide inside comfort. How choosing what feels easiest isn’t always the same as choosing what helps me grow.

I’m trying to notice where I’m clinging to what’s familiar, even as I long for something more expansive.

Today’s tending is a simple one: to recognize that freedom doesn’t always arrive fully formed. Sometimes it begins with a small, present-moment choice to say yes — not to certainty, but to possibility

This is the tending today.

Daily Oracle Card

THE GREAT MOTHER asks you to surrender to the mystery.

This is the second time I have drawn this oracle card this month, which makes it a message worth heeding.

The Great Mother reminds me that life is an inextricable experience of the soul. It holds both ascent and descent, joy and grief, clarity and confusion.

Within this lived experience, we are always held, and we can always return to the Mother.
