A note from our in-house Astro expert, Winter Jendayi:

As we wade into the sea, foam kissing our ankles, salt sticking to our skin, we are nurtured by the lullaby of the waves, washing to the shore time and time again, a rhythm that relaxes, a song which brings surrender. Crabs crawl across the sand, moving quickly in the comfort of their safety, contracting into their shells when sensing a threat. And all the while the stars shine bright as the Moon takes her yearly retreat within her star home.

Mother Cancer, waters of the womb, cycles of the Moon, well of our feelings, intuitive, maternal healing, supports us in the safety of the dark where we may be with the formlessness of our feelings and our creations yet to be born. Whether tears or laughter, grief or joy, our emotions reveal a necessary reflection of our being. And when we pause to soften and honor our sensitivities, we receive the gifts of subtle wisdom existing within, always there and waiting for us to listen.

What are your feelings communicating to you? Where can you soften and more subtly attune? Allow what surfaces to point you towards what is calling to be nurtured. Let your intuitive feelings guide you to what is worthy of your protection. Just as the crab carries its safe space upon its back, how can you create more safety in your life so your vulnerability may be expressed? Trust in the tides of the ocean, the songs of your internal sea and the darkness of this Moon.

Sights, Scents, Foods + Gemstones for Aries

Scents: Aries are the natural born leaders of the zodiac. They aren't afraid to capture an entire room with their fiery energy and passion. So on this full moon trystrong + impressivescents that make you feel like a boss. We're looking at tobacco, musk, coriander, leather, anise, patchouli, or even pink peppercorn. Get creative, stand out.
Colors and textiles: Normally when you think of Aries red and other fiery colors may come to mind. For this full moon however, we want to transition from that Libra energyslowlywith softer versions of these eye catching colors. We suggest fuchsia red, apricot orange or saffron yellow. Even white can be a great option for a softer entrance to this full moon energy. For textiles we're gravitating towards fabrics that makeyoufeel like a boss. So wear whatever makes you feel ready to take charge! Whether that’s getting dressed up in a fitted suit, workout gear, or even throwing on a touch of lace - wear what makes you feel empowered.

Food: Now is the time to try out your hosting skills. Set up an intimate dinner party menu for your friends and/or family with some comfort food staples. If you have any family recipes that have been passed down now is the time to try them! If not, maybe start experimenting with foods from your cultural background. It’s time to dig deep into your roots, or if you prefer, start creating traditions now that you can pass down. You don’t have to pass them down just to future family- they can be for your friends and your community too. You might even want to think about foods you loved as a child. This moon is rife with nostalgia.
Crystals: Indulge the best of Aries with Carnelian, Aragonite and Citrine. In addition to those, you could grab bloodstone for a boost of bravery and courage. Amber is another lovely stone for this full moon as it aids in decision making, strengthens intellect and helps your desires come to fruition.
