Inspirational words from “Messages from the Rose”

Hi Everyone: :) 

When SGC was a physical store front, we were more than happy to help local folks hawk their wares in our store… We had a consignment program set up, mutually agreeable to us and the local provider. 

One such item we had on consignment was a product called, “Messages From the Rose” A deck of lovely cards, each with inspirational messages to help guide one through the day. The cards were created by Karen, who’s last name escapes us. 

We kept our store copy of these cards, and have been drawn to them throughout the years, especially, when needing extra guidance, during challenging times. 

Here is portion of Karen’s words, shortened, taken from the paragraphs written on the packaging of the Cards. 

Dear Friends: 

The rose represents to me, the ultimate symbol of purity, compassion and love. 

  • The Blossom, represents the essence of our soul
  • The stem represents our mental awareness
  • The thorns are our fears and emotional challenges
  • The leaves and branches are our strengths, courage and emotional joys. 

These cards are put together with loving verses to help us live life in a gentle, compassionate manner

Pick a card and endeavor to anchor the message you receive in your heart throughout the day. 

We would like to share with you these inspirational words….

Today’s Pick is: 

Over the last few years you have sought the solace of solitude

You have built invisible walls to keep out the multitude

We now urge you to open once more to the those around

You will be surprised at  how many near you, now share a similar sound

Allow your heart and mind to feel the beauty these tender souls hold

Perhaps it is time dearest heart to finally come in from the cold.

  • Date: February 8 @6:04am (ET) @3:04am (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Cancer
  • Moon Phase: 2nd
  • Void-of-Course: February 10 @8:49am (ET) @5:49am (PT) to moon into Leo around noon (ET)
  • Opportunity Period: February 9th 2:57pm (ET) @11:57am (PT) to moon into Leo: “The waxing Moon favors growth, and this OP is good for starting projects that involve home and gardening or anything that interests you” PB

What does it all mean?

  • The moon is happy in the sign of Cancer because the moon rules this sign.
  • 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 too,  so go ahead and try out that new recipe
  • The more emotionally sensitive of us, may take offense, 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 for those that “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, good food and just plain old lovings… :) 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

 

 

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.

  • This may be a good time to learn new things, especially those that relate to the domestic front or family. Take up a cooking class, or try new recipes, decorate the home or enjoy craft projects with the kids. This may also be a good time to do some tidy up and mini reno’s on the house.

The Full Moon occurs on Monday January 13th @5:27 pm(ET) @2:27pm(PT)) in the sign of Cancer. The influence of the Cancer moon will be strong and may cause some of us to feel off kilter emotionally… If you are feeling overly restless or emotional, take care of how you react as it is very easy to over react during this time. The full moon is traditionally thought of, as a time to finish up tasks and for things to come to a conclusion. If you have important papers to sign or significant events to attend/organize take care of the small print and don’t make decisions based on emotional responses… ;) check the facts…

Happy New Year Everyone….

Another year passes, and for some, it has been a challenging year, health issues seem to plague many these days… The cost of housing, grocieries and every day needs has increased, and the youth of today, have trouble affording rent or a mortgage, instead they find that living with family/parents is the only alternative… This isn’t the way things were meant to be, nor were they this way before the C19 days of horror… :(

 

We had a good system in place, where if one worked hard, the rewards of a comfort would follow… Immigration was sustatined, guaranteeing a shot at “the good life” for everyone, new comers and those born here…

 

And while our health care system has been in a mess for many years, now it’s in completley in the toilet…

 

However, “hope springs eternal” and that’s a good thing, because as a New Year approaches us, we can most definately hope for a better future, for common sense and good manners to return…

 

We wish you all a fabulous 2025, where laughter, good health and common decency tops the list… From our home to yours, we HOPE and PRAY for a better future…

God Bless You One and All…

Greta & the Serenity’s Gift Cove Team…

  • Date: December 22 @2:08 pm (ET) @11:08 am (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Libra
  • Moon Phase: 3rd
  • Void-off-Course: December 24 @5:44 am (ET) @2:44 am (PT) to moon in Scorpio early on the 26th.
  • Moon v/c in Libra is not one of the 4 void off course “good signs” Relationship issues may not go as planned, leave the planning until after the V.O.C moon… . 
  • Opportunity Period: Sunday December 22 @5:19pm (ET) @2:19pm (PT) to voc moon on the 24th. “This OP ends with the Moon enclosed between benefices, forming a grand trine, which is awesome for everything joyous, just in time for the holidays.” PB

What does it all mean?

  • Libra has a need for balance, indicating this moon period may be an ideal time to implement some into our daily lives. 
  • A desire for justice may be present, dealing with issues that have upset our sense of justice may prove to be productive. 
  • Diplomacy is likely to be more apparent during the next few days, and may be a good time to bring up that topic you have been putting on the back burner. 
  • Hesitation is probably going to raise its head, we may see many sides of a story and find it difficult to make up our minds. 
  • Difficulty in making commitments or long-term decisions, because we can’t make up our minds. If this is the case perhaps wait a few days until the move has moved out of Libra. 
  • Libra is happiest when in a relationship or partnership. Indicating this may be a good time to begin one. :) 
  • Co-operation should be in the air, making this an ideal time to make plans with others. 
  • May be a good time to improve our appearance and surroundings. 
  • May be great time to go bargain hunting, 
  • This moon sign will affect us all but will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts.
    • Moon in Libra,
    • Sun in Libra,
    • Venus in Libra
    • Moon in 7th house,
    • Any aspects to the Moon or Venus
    • Midheaven in Libra
    • Ascendant in Libra
    • And those who have strong Aries connections in their charts.

NOTES: 

Tuesday, December 24th is Christmas Eve… one of the most excitable times of the year for kids, as Santa moves around the world delivering presents… :) 

Wednesday, December 25th is Christmas Day… The day our saviour Jesus Christ was “born”… the date is not exact, and is close to the Winter Solstice… No matter the details, the meaning of this day, is to remember the teachings of Jesus, and celebrate his “birth”…

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE… God Bless You One and All…
