Day 27: Waxing Gibbous in Cancer

Sacred Rose

Dear Blossoming Soul,

How often do I shrug off a compliment without letting it land?
Laugh it away.
Deflect it with an awkward chuckle.

Let discomfort decide for me.

It is hard for me to receive.

Compliments.
Help.
Love.
Care.

Because if I allow myself to believe they’ll stay, what happens when they don’t?

What happens if I open my hands and they’re suddenly empty again?

What happens when I bloom under the tender care of someone else…
and then they leave?

This is another way I get in my own way of receiving.

Instead of accepting, I flinch.
Instead of receiving, I doubt.

So today, I’m asking a different question:

What happens if I let it land?
If I allow myself to receive?
If I let myself believe they’ll stay?

Maybe that’s all that’s needed.

Not more effort.
Not more protection.

Just allowance.

This is the tending today.

Daily Oracle Card

Today, THE ROSE THREAD appears as the card of the mystic.
Of the part of me that listens inward.
That trusts the quiet language of my own soul.

The Rose Thread speaks to my devotion to the whispers within.
To intuition.
To the subtle knowing that doesn’t arrive with proof.

It feels like the invisible thread guiding the path I’m walking.
Not the loud road.
Not the obvious one.
But the honest one.

This path asks for courage.
Because it requires trust without guarantees.
It asks me to follow what feels true, even when I can’t yet see where it leads.

Today, this card feels like encouragement.

To keep going.
To trust myself.
To honor what I know.

I am on the right path.

All I have to do is take the next step.

And let myself be soul-led.

Always,
Your Trusted Friend 🌹
