What does it all mean?

  • The moon is happy in the sign of Cancer because the moon is the ruler of the sign Cancer.
  • Being sympathetic towards the worries of others is easier, we are more empathetic now. 
  • We can be more nurturing when there is a cancer moon
  • Domestic chores and responsibilities may be easier to do now, in fact some of us may be very happy making our home comfortable and safe
  • Cooking may be fun to do now,  so go ahead and try out that new recipe
  • The more emotionally sensitive of us, may take offense or feel slighted or more vulnerable during the Cancer moon… Caution is advised though, check your facts before you “accuse”. 
  • Some of us may feel needy, while others of us are happy to be the needed, helping our loved ones feel secure. Caution is advised that some of us can go over board on the needy thing during this moon period, so be careful if you don’t want to “scare” someone off… 
  • It’s a time for cuddles, caring and good food,  Enjoy..😊
  • This may also be a good time to do some tidy up and mini reno’s on the house.  
  • This may be a positive time for: Beauty treatments, Brewing beer, Buying antiques, Buying for speculation, Can foods, Collect on debts, Hair cut (for growth) and plant bulbs from seeds.
  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts.
  • Moon in Cancer: (these folk really feel the influence of the moon, emotions may be close to the surface).
  • Ascendant in Cancer:
  • Sun in Cancer:
  • Moon in the 4th house:
  • Aspects to the Moon, or planets in the 4th house
  • To a lessor extent, those who have personal planets in Capricorn

NOTES: 

Mercury in retrograde motion: Take care with all communications… double check appointment dates… expect delays in travel, due to technology issues, weather issues and communication issues…try you very best to be patient with everyone and everything😬 … Mercury retrograde is a challenging time, that’s for sure… but it can also be a time where we can make some positive changes in our lives, and in our mindset….

if something negative keeps showing up in your life, perhaps it needs to no longer be a part of your life? 🤷‍♀️.. at least for the time being… look at the situation with eyes wide open… be honest with your part, and make your decision… stay stuck or wiggle free and move on?…

Mercury, is related to movement, technology, communications… and so much more… he is one of the closer planets to our planet earth, so his influence can be fairly strong…. challenge yourself this Mercury retrograde… What can you learn, how can you bring in more calm to your life…???

 

“Lord help me control the things that I can

 help me let go of the things that I cannot control

And help me to know the difference”….. 🙏

  • The Moon and Astrology

    HOW IT AFFECTS OUR DAILY LIVES… 

    In astrology, the moon is connected to our emotions and reactions… how we are feeling on a given day may well be influenced by the sign that is visiting the moon… Each sign stays with the moon for up to 2.5 days…. :) 

    The Moon Void-of-Course: 

    There are times throughout the month when the moon isn’t fully immersed in any sign… this is when we say the moon is Void of Course… and when this occurs, we may feel “foggy” and “unfocused” … We may not be sure how we are truly feeling about a situation or a person…. Therefore it is not recommended that we make long-term commitments or important decision’s while the moon is Void of Course…. However there are 4 signs in the zodiac which may prove positive during the Void-of-Course moon… 

    Good for Void-Of-Course Moon:

    These v/c signs may prove to be quite productive times.

    • Cancer
    • Taurus
    • Sagittarius
    • Pisces…

    Opportunity Periods  

    There are other periods throughout the month that are known as Opportunity Periods, when it can prove to be a positive time for most people, however if you have challenging aspects happening within your own chart you may not be able to make use of opportunity periods. thanks to Paula Belluomini astrologer and Llewellyn’s Daily Planetary Guide for opportunity periods and dates.

Inspirational Words: Messages from the Rose Cards: February 2026

“Messages from the Rose”

by Karen

We don’t have a last name for Karen, she was one of our consignment family from when we had our physical store front, many years ago, We are grateful to have retained a deck of Karen’s cards, and we are delighted to share her positive outlook with you all.

 

We gently urge you to take a walk in the park

Preferably just as the light fades towards the dark. 

For in this hour of dusk, where the earth meets the setting sun. 

Gently look to the west as daylight and darkness become one

This is the time when the spirit of the faerie speak

When the veils between your world and ours begin to grow weak,.

As February comes to a close we wish you goodness and happiness: We shuffle & choose the “Messages from the Rose” card at random, we were surprised to see this card as it reminds us of Halloween time. But perhaps it is a reminder, no matter the time of the year… Spirit is always close by…. As we begin to anticipate the coming of spring… we begin to move from the darkness into the light… Perhaps we can take this on a literal level… if we grow towards the light, (spirit) we become stronger, just watch the plants grow and you will understand… Darkness is good too, but without light we cannot survive, and if we do, we cannot grow… 

 

God Bless, sending out hugs to whomever may need them today…

“Messages from the Rose”

by Karen

We don’t have a last name for Karen, she was one of our consignment family from when we had our physical store front, many years ago, We are grateful to have retained a deck of Karen’s cards, and we are delighted to share her positive outlook with you all.

As we enter into a new year, we wish you prosperity, good health, love and laughter….

 

A child can see the world through magical eyes
They have an innate ability to see past the illusions and lies
They are in sync in heart and mind
They expect the wonders and miracles they find
We ask that you look to the children in your life
Let them show you how to see the beauty beyond the strife

 

We would like to add, if we may…😊  Children are, through innocence, open to receiving information, they do not hold any preconceptions of people, animals or things… the connection to Mother Nature is the guiding light for them… As it was for all of us, when we began this journey…. don’t lose that “innocence” that sense of wonder and the belief in miracles… Times have been tough, and they aren’t going to get better all at once… just hold on tight, because nothing stays the same… and when you are “down on the wheel of life, there is only one way to go, and that’s upwards”

God Bless, sending out hugs to whomever may need them today…

Durham Region Property Tax Increase Petition Against

Hello Everyone…

I am a Grounded Airhead, Sensible and Sensitive…. (can you guess any of my natal chart signs?) 🍻Unfortunately, my human blue print, while being lovely and all… isn’t the best when it comes to being consistent, hence my lag in posting anything the last little while, for which I apologize and ask for your forgiveness… 🙏🙏🙏😊

I will be getting back to posting the moon and planetary movements within the next few days…. 🙏😎

In the mean time, my neighbour and friend has asked me to share/email forward a petition circling on Change.org

The petition is regarding the 2026 property tax hikes being proposed in the Region of Durham.

The Tax hike is 6.5%... Year after year for the last 5 or so years, property taxes within our area have steadily risen… with each successive year being just a little bit more then the last year.

I understand that this isn’t a novel situation, in fact, it’s beginning to seem like an epidemic of tax grabbing, every city and every town is doing the same thing….

We are told it’s to fund our emergency services, (Fire, Police Ambulance)… due to the excessive growth happening at an alarming rate, so fast in fact, that along with the afore mentioned emergency services, homeless shelters are also needed, for us, that meant a $21 million dig into the public purse just for the building…. which needed extensive renovations to make it legal… The building had previously been sold for a mere $8 million to a private buyer, just 6 months before…

So, not only did our incompetent municipal/regional government pay an extra 13 million dollars that they didn’t need to pay, they also bought a building that wasn’t up to par for the needs. This purchase was done without the knowledge of the immediate community, which it would most affect, with no thought to the consequences of both the societal affect and the added responsibility on the tax payer, first to replace the money taken from the coiffeurs, and then for the continued maintenance of the building and wages of the staff…

And like many municipalities, municipal staff continue to expect and receive regular wage increases.

We are tired of footing the bill for the financial mistakes of those who have been elected to work for us…

We therefore oppose any upcoming tax increase, until those who have access to our tax money, are audited, and educated as to how to spend it wisely and in a fiscally responsible manner… Our trust has been broken, it’s up to those in government, (on every level) to show us why we should trust them again.

If you live in the Durham Region, and do not agree to your property taxes going up year after year, please check out the below petition, forward and share if you feel this is important for the tax payer to have a say in.

Thank You.
