Hygeia in Cancer

1 September

Asteroid Goddess Hygeia (10), keeper of the healing cup, now moves through the waters of Cancer; the nurturer, mother and protector of the inner child. With Hygeia here, healing medicine flows from through words and thoughts, to through emotional safety, tenderness and care for our inner waters.

Hygeia will retrograde back into Gemini, just like her Goddess Sister Isis, to recalibrate and realign our mental and emotional health through these incredible changes as we move into the new times.

Hygeia’s Cup in the Year of the Wood Snake still carries the energy of shedding. In Cancerwe shed old emotional patterns, ancestral burdens, inherited family stories and the ways we’ve learned to silence our feelings. Every tear, every soft exhale, every “I love you” whispered to yourself is medicine.

Hygeia in Cancer:

⚕️ Listen to your feelings, not as problems to fix, but as guides that show where care is needed.

⚕️ Create a safe space for your inner child(ren); the tender parts of you that need reassurance, softness, and love.

⚕️ Moon Medicine: live by the natural cycles of the Moon in our skies and your inner moon

⚕️ Create rituals of emotional safety; journal, bathe, cook comfort food and spend time with those who feel like home.

⚕️ Feel into: How safe do you feel to feel?
