Earth Guides For Cancer Season
Mugwort & Moonstone
Before we share about the Earth Guides themselves let’s talk a little bit about Cancer Season. This is the time when the sun is in the Zodiac Sign of Cancer. The sun is in a Zodiac sign for about a month’s time.
Cancer is ruled by the Element of Water which represents our emotions and intuition. It is also ruled by the Moon which represents our inner most self and is associated with the Feminine. The archetypal energy is The Mother.
When the Sun is in Cancer these energies are more present making it a perfect time to go within, connect to your intuition, nurture yourself and make your home a sanctuary.
We chose Moonstone and Mugwort as guides for the season because they both help us to strengthen and connect to our intuition and sixth sense.
Moonstone:
Moonstone balances yin/yang energies within us, allowing clarity of mind + focus.
She is a guide in dream space and an awakener of intuition.
Mugwort:
Like Cancer Mugwort is ruled by the moon. Having a Latin name Artemisia named after Artemis the Moon Goddess.
She guides us into deep awareness within our own being, strengthening our intuition.
She helps us travel between worlds, making a great dream space guide.
Caution: Avoid Mugwort during pregancy
