The Beauty of a Cancer

You are the fourth sign of the zodiac wheel dear Cancer. Your depth of emotions, empathy and tenderness are unmatched!

You are nurturing: as the first water and second cardinal sign, you’re a care–taker, very comforting and sensitive. You’re quite the home buddy, you usually enjoy cooking and turning your home into a cosy cocoon. This sanctuary is needed for you to retreat: you’re all about the feels and often get overwhelmed by your own emotional nature. You have a very strong instinct and you tend to start any new venture from the heart.

In Tarot, you’re The Chariot, a figure comfortably seated on his vehicle, under a blue canopy embroidered with stars, guided by his spirituality and balancing his emotions to reach his destination. This is when you’re collected and in osmosis with your feelings and the lunar cycle that you are strong and powerful!

With the Moon as your ruler, you display a kind, affectionate and maternal energy. You bring warmth, protection and care to those you love. You represent the breasts: the softness and nourishment they provide are the perfect analogy for your personality. You’re the nest–maker, ensuring everyone’s safety. However, if you feel insecure, you can be moody, easily offended and clingy or even isolate yourself from others.

Your lessons in this lifetime dear Cancer are to accept your vulnerability as a strength and not to brood over the past and what cannot be changed and to avoid emotional manipulation: one should always give without expecting anything in return.

Cancer Key Words
- empathy
- care
- feelings
- nostalgia
- smothering
- home
- mother
- nourishment
- comfort
- intuition
- kindness
- support
- moodiness
No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.

The Beauty of a Gemini

You’re the third sign of the zodiac wheel dear Gemini. Your quick wit, curiosity and imagination are unmatched!

You are playfulness: as the first air and mutable sign, you’re sharp, lively and ever–changing! You’re all about ideas and conversations, trying to learn something new in every sentence and each word. You never run out of topics as you have bits and bobs of knowledge in almost every subject! This desire to know everything is what fuels you and you express yourself best in whimsical environments.

In Tarot, you’re The Lovers, the divine feminine and masculine in their purest truth, ready to be united under the close watch of the Archangel Raphael, healer of mind, body and spirit. Despite your lightheartedness, you are very profound and the higher octave of a Gemini is the grand cosmic union of the two polarities.

With Mercury as your ruler, you enjoy discussions, funny puns and communication in all forms. You represent the arms, hands and fingers: ambidexterity and swiftness of movement are your strong points. You’re always transforming, going from left to right and you experience ambivalence like no other. Your ability to shapeshift quickly is as wonderful as it is dangerous: playing the Jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none may disorient you and you might become a riddle to yourself.

Your lessons in this lifetime dear Gemini are to concentrate longer on what truly speaks to you in order to achieve mastery in one or several fields and to accept and harmonise both sides of your personality so you can face the world authentically.

Gemini Key Words
- wit
- mischief
- youth
- playfulness
- communication
- imagination
- shapeshifting
- curiosity
- knowledge
- ingenuity
- duality
- sharpness
- frivolity
Wit is a dangerous weapon, even to the possessor, if he knows not how to use it discreetly.

The Beauty of a Taurus

You are the second sign of the zodiac wheel dear Taurus. Your steady pace, peacefulness and eye for beauty are unmatched!

You are stability: as the first fixed and first earth sign, you’re composed, sensual and profound. You’re the rock upon which everyone can find support and security. Like a robust tree in Spring, you’re sturdy and your roots are strong. When you feel safe and grounded, you can tap into your creativity and enjoy the pleasures of life.

In Tarot, you’re The Hierophant, a pope, standing strongly between two pillars, representing wisdom, reliability and tradition. At his feet are found two keys: they are Heaven and Earth. With wisdom and creativity, you access spirituality and blend it into the tangible world, knowing that good things are meant to be appreciated. The material world has no secret for you and you want to make your message practical and easily understood.

With Venus as your ruler, you infuse love, harmony and talent into every situation. You delight in all sensual and artistic pleasures! You represent the neck and shoulders: you need solid foundations to feel secure. You thrive in serene and pleasing environments and your routine is key in your well-being. However, this is also your downfall: your laid-back attitude can turn into laziness or apathy when you don’t challenge yourself enough.

Your lessons in this lifetime dear Taurus are to welcome adventure and fresh perspectives to be able to elevate your art or aesthetics and to accept that your safety is not always in your material possessions but in your everlasting flair!

Taurus Key Words
- solidity
- artistry
- aesthetics
- serenity
- pleasure
- sensuality
- laziness
- creativity
- comfort
- luxury
- quality
- stubbornness
- gentleness
An artist’s concern is to capture beauty wherever he finds it.

The Beauty of an Aries

You start the zodiac wheel dear Aries. Your youthful energy, unapologetic sense of self and creative powers are unmatched!

You are the initiator: as the first cardinal and first fire sign, you ignite passion into projects and infuse daily life with inspiration. Like Spring, you’re young at heart, fresh and ready to welcome any development or evolution.

In Tarot, you’re The Emperor, seated imposingly on your stone throne, dressed in the red cloak of excitement and ardour. You’ve been through many battles and you don’t fear conflict: courage and bravery are some of your strong points!

With Mars as a ruler, you’re the internal fire, you burn deep inside with intensity and power and it’s no wonder your biggest enemy is the burn-out! You represent the nervous system with a focus on the head. Your heart is pure yet misunderstood for your strong will often takes the lead. You feel weak when you don’t push or stress yourself (and others!).

Your lessons in this lifetime dear Aries are to act with wisdom not impulsivity and to find a healthy, sustainable pace for the course of your actions. Your body is your main vehicle and stamina is essential.

Aries Key Words
- strength
- willpower
- boldness
- youth
- recklessness
- ignition
- passion
- initiative
- nervousness
- turbulence
- enthusiasm
- dedication
- speed
Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do.

New Moon in Libra

September 25th, 2022
Or how to initiate a new harmonious cycle!

Aerial balancing act!

On September 25th, the Moon and the Sun will be conjunct at 3° (9.54 pm UT) in the sign of Libra, meaning we’ll have a New Moon in Libra.

New Moons have always been associated with new cycles, fresh intentions and seeds. The skies of a new moon are dark: they represent all the work we have to do behind the scenes before the lights of a full moon can be switched on. We may not always see clearly but we are asked to keep going with faith and everything will align for us, at the right time. This is the preparation stage, the rehearsal preceding the premiere!

What about the archetype of Libra?

The scales of Themis, the Greek Primordial Goddess of Justice are always balanced, for nothing extreme is right. Fairness and truth are at the very core of this archetype. Libra at its best stands for beauty, diplomacy, harmony, justice, contracts, relationships and equality (after all, the Sun enters Libra to signal the Autumn Equinox!). And at its least favourable moments, it’s all about indecision, deceit, superficiality and inconsistency.

This New Moon in Libra is inviting us to reflect on what has been complicated, disorienting or where we have overindulged and given too much or too little. Time to readjust, form new (better!) plans and strategies, plant fresh seeds and take the first steps towards a goal.

As an Air Sign, Libra is also about objective thinking and examining various ideas. Here is a non exhaustive list of questions that could be interesting for this lunation:
- What parts of my life are out of balance ?
- Where do I find harmony on a daily basis?
- Are my relationships based on fairness and equality? Do I give too much of my resources? Not enough?
- In which area of my life could I use diplomacy to improve a situation?
- If I were to start afresh, how would I act to bring peace, cohesion and unity in my life?
May this New Moon in Libra gift you serenity, equality and pleasant relationships!

He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe.

Autumn Equinox – Mabon

September 22nd, 2022
Or how to give thanks and prepare for colder times!

On September 22nd, the Sun enters the sign of Libra and sets the date for the Autumn Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere. Like the Libra glyph (the two balancing scales) this time of the year represents the perfect balance between night and day. It also indicates the end of Summer and the moment to reflect on all the good times we had, give thanks for the light, the heat and the harvest!

What can be done to celebrate this fantastic day?

The Autumn Equinox or Mabon in the Wiccan calendar invites us to look at what we have achieved, gathered and picked up on the way since the beginning of Spring. What have we learnt? How did we navigate different situations? What are our plans for the future? More than ever, this is the right time to prepare (quite literally, as in preserving foods but also on a more philosophical level in planning our next move!).

If you feel like celebrating Mabon, here are a few ideas!
- Write a gratitude list (being thankful is the first step to manifesting your goals and the timing couldn’t be better!)
- Bake some bread or cake and enjoy the richness of the food
- Take a walk in the forest or the park to watch the leaves turn golden
- Make some pickles or some preserved foods for the winter (apple puree is perfect!)
- Have a glass (or more!) of wine or apple cider
- Take some time to relax and daydream: good ideas will come up!
- Work with citrine, amber, quartz, aventurine, these crystals are especially powerful now
- If you can, donate to charities, to share is to care!
Wishing all of you a meaningful and blessed Mabon! May you find peace and harmony.

Is not this a true autumn day? Just the still melancholy that I love – that makes life and nature harmonize.

Full Moon in Pisces

September 10th, 2022
Or how to let compassion and service shine!

On September 10th, 09:59 UTC (adapt to your timezone accordingly), the Moon will be at 17° of Pisces, opposing the Sun at 17° of Virgo. Both signs enjoy being of help or service and this Full Moon shines bright on matters of spiritual health and empathy. This culmination point brings its basket of emotions and dreams and could very well make us want to shift realities or bathe in nostalgia. It’s essential at this time to stay grounded (shower, self-care and all that jazz) if we want to make the most of our imagination or visions!

Full Moons are very often described as intense and emotional and this particular one is no exception. Pisces rules liminal spaces, heavenly matters, deep emotions, spirituality, transcendence, escapism and universal consciousness (among other topics). A Full Moon in the mix gives you a whimsical and almost intoxicating energy.

This weekend, more than ever, get a tarot reading, use your intuition in daily tasks, write, get creative, sleep more than usual if you need it – these enchanting moments will be very insightful for they connect you to a well of universal awareness! Light bulb moments or missing pieces of your life’s puzzle could magically appear in your reality.

In which areas of your life will the Full Moon shine? Take a look at your Sun, Moon and Rising signs to get some insight. General piece of advice: be kind.
- Aries: What happens in the shadows? You may feel a bit unclear or foggy, please don’t rush, this is a time for observation more than movement. Deep feelings could emerge, be kind to yourself and rest. Action doesn’t always bring answers, sit, meditate and be present. A little TLC goes a long way.
- Taurus: Friends and social circles are highlighted for you. You may meet people or have new ideas that are quite different from your habitual self. Explore these uncharted territories with an open-mind! Go slow but wish for progress and lead with your heart. Newness brings the gift of creativity. Your artistic soul is ignited again.
- Gemini: Your career sector is in the spotlight. What do you really want to do? What dreams have you put aside for too long? How do you want to be seen? Are you satisfied with your public status? This Full Moon asks you to dream a new public image and manifest it in your reality. If you can feel it, you can do it.
- Cancer: Philosophical questions are in order with this Full Moon! Which higher beliefs or ideas do you want to explore? It’s time to go on an intellectual adventure outside your comfort zone and traditional perceptions. You may find gems on the way. Don’t rush mental processes but dare to be bold! Fresh perspectives open and it feels exciting.
- Leo: Close relationships and intimacy are on centre stage this weekend. The way you interact with your other half could change drastically. It is safe to be compassionate and to listen to the needs of the ones around you. Shared resources could improve with creative ideas or solutions! More heart, less pride. Be authentic, it will help in the long run.
- Virgo: What about less practicality and more dreaminess in your relationships or partnerships? This Full Moon in Pisces invites you to feel more than you analyze. Let intuition be your guide, you won’t be disappointed. Release control, relax and enjoy reconnecting with your partners through imagination.
- Libra: What brings you a sense of fulfillment at work or in your daily habits? Is everything pleasing and/or rewarding? If you have some tedious tasks to complete, do the work and be practical. If questions about your well-being and work/life balance arise, be honest and let your heart speak. It knows best. Be pragmatic in your actions and introspective in your analysis.
- Scorpio: Fun and romance are your birthrights and if life has been hectic or full of chores lately, this Full Moon invites you to reconnect with your inner child: play, dream, fall in love with you and your projects and have a try with any creative endeavour. How can you diffuse more joy into your life? What a great day it can be when you allow yourself to be and live!
- Sagittarius: Home is where your heart is. It may sound corny but this Full Moon strongly highlights your home, your lineage, your relationships with or as a mother or daughter. Where do you belong, where is your happy place? Where and with whom do you feel the most comfortable? This weekend, connect with your ancestors, cook your favourite meal and relax in your safe space. Being cosy in a cocoon is all you need.
- Capricorn: Even though you thrive in tangible, down to earth approaches, you have a very emotional side! Time to use it, get creative and infuse your conversations with imagination and artistry. Trust your intuition when it comes to communication. Listen to what people have to say and if you must answer, do it gently. Connect ideas with empathy and show your compassionate side, you won’t regret it.
- Aquarius: Material abundance, self-worth, personal finances are significant during this Full Moon. All that glitters in not gold and your idea of value takes a new shape with la luna in Pisces. Which parts of your soul have you forgotten? Reconnect with your humanitarian side and instinct and try a more creative and emotional approach to your material desires. Your worth is also in your heart, this weekend, feel things!
- Pisces: Time to shine like a diamond Pisces! This is your Full Moon and all your qualities are illuminated. Be yourself, dream, love, enjoy your spiritual side, dive deep in the great mystery of life and don’t apologize. It’s the perfect moment to deal with life in an empathetic and caring manner. Your intuition is heightened, you might experience synchronicities or even paranormal events. You may feel extra sensitive and perhaps exhausted, make sure you have some room to breathe and relax.
Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive.

Mercury in retrograde

September 9th, 2022
Or how to navigate blurry environments!

Mercury retrogrades are nothing to be feared despite their recently gained importance! Over the last few years, we’ve had lots of information about this particular movement, infused with the common fears of signing contracts, having troubles communicating or even travelling! Although there’s some truth in all of that, let us not forget that Mercury is going retrograde three times a year (and you survived it!) so time for us to debunk the myth or at least have an alternative approach to that celestial event!

Planets in retrograde can be seen as a request from the Universe to look inward and reflect in order to gain knowledge or perspective about a situation. During retrogrades, the world around us appears foggy: neither answers nor clarity can be found outside! Mercury represents the way we communicate and interact with others and while in retrograde, the fast-moving planet asks us to examine and ponder on the words we use in our daily conversations (including our inner dialogue).

Mercury will be in retrograde from September 9 to September 23 in the sign of Libra and from September 23 to October 2 in the sign of Virgo. What does it mean? An how can we make the most of it? Here are a few tips that will hopefully guide you through this event. In true Libra and Virgo fashion, partnerships, agreements/commitments, daily habits and work are strongly highlighted!
- Review everything that has been in the back of your mind or even bothering you
- Take a good look into contracts or agreements before signing them and don’t hesitate to ask if anything is unclear
- Take your time with relationships or partners and communicate as simply and clearly as possible
- Reassess your organisation in all areas (home, work, finances…)
- Have a copy or a back up for your files
- Refocus on you priorities: what’s essential in your life? how good is your work-life balance?
- Regroup your energy, retrogrades can be tiring
Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.

Wednesday x Moon in Scorpio

August 31st, 2022
Or how to speak less and dive into your intuition!

Wednesday is always dedicated to Mercury and its qualities but with the Moon now in the sign of intense and intuitive Scorpio, time to listen to your gut instinct!

Feeling your way through this day! Photo by Erda Estremera on Unsplash

The moon in Scorpio invites us to dig deep into our psyche, feel intensely and listen carefully to our intuition or nudges. It requires us to approach this day with a good balance between heart and head: communication is not always verbal and some words could be misunderstood. Today more than ever, silence is gold!

As intense emotions can rise up to the surface, be kind to yourself and try to sit with them, you may discover real gems, solutions or answers in the depths of your heart.

Key words of the day:
- meditation
- divination
- mindfulness
- light meals
- water
- emotions
There is a voice that doesn’t use words. Listen.

New Moon in Virgo

August 27th, 2022
Or how to declutter and get back on track!

Neat and tidy baby! Photo by Hutomo Abrianto on Unsplash

As the Virgo season settles down deeply with this New Moon, several aspects that are essential to our well being emerge. New moons are always a good time to start afresh, get ready, do the work, think a project deeply and plan. This is especially true when the Moon is in Virgo, the sign of organisation, cleanliness and health among other things.

What does it mean practically?

Well, if the holidays (or Leo season!!) made you overindulge in all good things that life has to offer (hello cocktails, desserts and parties all night), this is the perfect time to readjust and get back to healthy habits! Your body and mind will thank you and it will help you deal with the ‘back-to-school/work/routine’ mood that’s just around the corner!

So, to make the most of this fantastic lunation, here are a few tips that will hopefully help you!
- Stay hydrated, water is so cleansing!
- Cut the crap out (quite literally, junk food, sodas, you know!) and try to eat healthy homemade meals and lots of fruits.
- Try as much as possible to swap coffee for herbal teas!
- Make a list of things you want to declutter or sort out, this is the right time!
- Gift your body a nice massage and/or implement a new skincare routine.
- Try to stretch your body, do some yoga or pilates to feel good and refreshed.
- Clean your place and smudge it, energetic reset couldn’t be better this weekend!
- Take a look at your finances and budget for the coming months.
Wishing you a very happy New Moon, new intentions and a clean slate ready to welcome the new you!
