Welcome to July,
During my Hermetic Astrology training, which is rooted in ancient Egyptian astrology, I remember seeing the Earth’s birth chart for the first time. And guess which sign was found in the first house, marking the rising sign of the Earth? Cancer.
This makes sense — thousands of years ago, July (aka Cancer season) was when the Nile’s waters would bring rebirth and fertility to the land, symbolically and literally.
How beautiful that the watery sign of Cancer welcomed the yearly flooding of the Nile.
And how beautiful that Cancer, known to be the sign of nurturing and caregiving, is the rising sign of our Earth, a rare planet filled with the waters that make life possible.
It was during Cancer season two summers ago that I was introduced to a new and powerful ally for accessing the Earth’s infinite nourishment: the gnome plant.
A rare and beautiful parasitic flower, the gnome plant opened a portal into the divine realms of the inner Earth — and what I found there opened up a new relationship with worth and wealth. You can read the original story here.
This summer, on the final day of Cancer Season and the morning of our Full Honey Mead Moon, I’m offering a 90-minute workshop where we will journey into the Earth together.
Join Me for the Gnome Flower Full Moon Journey
This is the first of many opportunities to go deeper with your own magic and medicine this year.
May July’s gentle energies envelop you with watery love,
