Inspirational Words: Messages from the Rose Cards: March 9 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.


A small miracle is about to take place

This event will fill your heart with warmth and grace

It is the universe’s way of gently being felt

When you allow the walls of resistance and pain to fully melt

Let yourself experience the presence of the divine

It is then that you will understand the message behind the sign

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

  • Date: February 26 @ 12:11am (ET) February 25 @ 9:11pm (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Cancer
  • Moon Phase: 2nd
  • Void-of-Course: February 27 @11:21 pm (ET) @ 8:21pm (PT) to moon into Leo early morning on February 28. 
  • Opportunity Period: February 26 @2:04 pm (ET) @11:04 am (PT) until Moon into Leo: “Long OP favorable for the arts and technology, but Mercury is retrograde and we are between two eclipses, so be creative when dealing with adjustments. ” PB
  • Mercury Retrograde: Wednesday, February 25 @10:48 pm (PT): Thursday, February 26 @1:48 am (ET) in the sign of Pisces: 

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.

Happy Birthday Libra Folks…

We wish you a year ahead filled with love, laughter, prosperity and good health…

CHEERS 🥂🍻

September 21  NEW MOON in Virgo. (this months moon falls in the void of course area, the moon is no longer in the sign of Virgo but is shadowing the moon in that sign… the next moon sign is Libra right behind the VOC position. It is possible that this new moon, will show traits of both signs… Virgo and Libra. 

The New Moon is traditionally a good time to begin things, be they projects, jobs, relationships, what ever is new in your life that is begun under a new moon, has a greater chance of success.. Any time from the 21nd to the 23rd should be positive for “new beginnings”. The traits of the Moon in Virgo will be “amplified” under the New Moon… Some of us may experience difficulty in staying asleep, or our sleep is restless…

Aspects:

  • Squares can be challenging, two planets who don’t always get along, friction can develop, a feeling of being challenged by the other… some times we need that challenge to wake us up and get us motivated, great growth is possible, if we are up to the challenge
  • Opposition, challenging like the square, but not all is lost, the planets are at odds with each other, but that doesn’t mean they can’t come to a compromise, although it may take one over the other to back down before anything can move ahead… Take a deep breath, listen to the other view point, and find the middle ground. If that can’t be done, then maybe it’s just not meant to be, acknowledging that will also “set you free”
  • Quincunx are frustrating and may require some adjustments/adjusting, they have nothing in common… We may feel forced, pushed or obligated to perform..  may also relate to health issues. Not a great time, just keep reminding yourself it will all be over soon.
  • Trines are very comfortable aspects, the planets involved are usually of the same element, (Earth, Fire, Water, Air) so they understand each other…trouble happens when comfortable take precedence over doing anything else, this aspect can induce some laziness, great it it’s time for some chilling… if it’s not that time, you may find you have to give yourself a push to get going.
  • Sextiles are planets that are of the same compatible element, (Fire and Air or Earth and Water) they have differences but totally respect each other.. so they are able to work well together.
  • Conjunctions are variable, they can be helpful or not depending on the circumstances and the people involved…
