Messages from the Rose Cards: Number 2

Inspirational words from the Rose Cards. Card pulled randomly from the deck on March 3 2025.

Do those around you see only in colors of black or white?

Do they miss the shades of grey, that come with experience and insight?

We send you support in this path that you currently walk.

We know how difficult it can be to maintain a truth while others judge or talk

Yet every time you choose compassion and love for you sister or brother

You reach beyond the limitations and become spiritually linked one to another

  • Moon Phase: 4th, moves into the 1st on the 28th

  • Pisces is compassionate and caring but can be taken for granted
  • Sometimes Pisces isn’t about helping others but helping oneself. 
  • We can be more psychic during a Pisces moon, but we can also be easily deceived, so be sure of the “messages” received during this time.
  • Be careful if something sounds too good to be true, look for the hidden agenda
  • We can be susceptible to taking in stray animals and stray people now. 
  • Our hearts can be broken or melted during this time depending on who is telling us what and what may be revealed now. 
  • We can feel more spiritual with a Pisces moon, indicating this could be a good time to join a church or spiritual group
  • Keep an open mind when delving into new spiritual situations, ask questions and don’t believe everything you hear or see. 
  • We can be wistful, impressionable, nostalgic and dreamy now.
  • This may be a good time to: Borrow money and Brew beer… :) Try not to drink all the profits away… ;)
  • The moon in Pisces will have more effect on those who have the following in their charts:
  • Moon in Pisces:
  • Sun in Pisces:
  • Moon in the 12th house
  • Aspects to the Moon or Neptune
  • Neptune in Pisces

NOTE:

The New Moon occurs on February 27 @ 7:45 pm (ET) @4:45pm (PT) in the sign of Pisces, 09♓41.

The new moon in Pisces will “ramp up” the influence of this sensitive and sometimes naïve sign. Be open to “messages” but also be aware of deception.

Traditionally, the New Moon is said to be a good time to start something new, a project, a relationship, a job, school, change of career etc., It is wise to wait until you can actually see the tiny silver of the moon before beginning anything new

This New Moon’s influence will be felt more by those who have Pisces or Virgo birth chart influences. 

Friday, February 28th: Ramadan begins at Sundown. 

Saturday, March 1st: Venus in Aries goes retrograde.

Venus rules Libra (and Taurus). Aries is ruled by Mars. Libra and Aries are opposites.. Making this position not an especially strong one..

When a planet goes into retrograde motion, it’s “power” can be upset, sometimes to a chaotic degree, at other times the upset is so subtle it doesn’t become apparent until later…

The best way to travel the retrograde “train” is to just ride along with it.. try not to make any important decisions if it’s possible.

Venus turns direct after April 12th… 😊

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.

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.

  • Some of us may feel needy, while others of us are happy to be the cuddler, helping our loved ones feel secure and in deed needed. 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… 
  • 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…
