Waxing Crescent in Taurus → Gemini → Cancer
The Quiet Build Before Bloom
It’s the final stretch of February… Honestly, if you’re feeling a little bit meh about it all, you are absolutely not alone.
It’s been wet. Grey. Slightly chaotic. One minute we think we’re emerging into spring, the next we’re back under a blanket questioning all of our life choices and yet… something is shifting. Those glimpses of sun, the daffodils popping their big yellow heads out, those slightly brighter mornings…
We’re in the waxing crescent phase now, that gentle build of energy. Not quite full momentum, but no longer in deep rest either. This is the space where things begin to stir again… quietly, softly… without needing to rush.
So if you feel like you’re somewhere between “I’m ready to bloom” and “please pass me another cup of tea and leave me alone”… you’re doing it right!
This Week’s Lunar Flow
We begin in Taurus, grounding, steady, slow.
By Wednesday, we move into Gemini, bringing lightness and mental movement.
And by Friday, we land in Cancer, soft, emotional, nurturing.
This is a week of rebuilding confidence gently, reconnecting with yourself, and allowing your energy to grow without forcing it.
Think of it like stretching after a long sleep… not sprinting.
Taurus Energy – Slow Confidence, Deep Roots
Taurus doesn’t rush. She anchors.
This is your permission to move slowly, to tend to your body, your home, your space. There is power in steadiness.
Try this simple grounding practice:
• Stand barefoot (or imagine it)
• Take a slow breath in
• Press your feet gently into the ground
• Whisper: “I am safe to grow at my own pace”
Even if you’re doing it in your kitchen while the kettle boils… it still counts.
Gemini Energy – Clearing the Mind, Lifting the Fog
By midweek, things may feel a little lighter. Thoughts begin to move again, ideas return, motivation flickers back.
But let’s not overwhelm ourselves with a full life reinvention by Wednesday lunchtime…
Instead, clear space.
Gentle reset ideas:
• Open a window, even just for a few minutes
• Journal a brain-dump of everything swirling in your head
• Put music on and have a little kitchen dance (yes, even if you feel ridiculous… especially then!)
Gemini reminds us that energy doesn’t have to feel heavy to be meaningful.
Cancer Energy – Emotional Nourishment & Safety
By Friday, we soften again.
Cancer invites us inward, not to retreat completely, but to care for what’s been stirred.
You may feel more emotional, more reflective… or just in need of comfort.
Simple self-care ritual:
• Wrap yourself in a blanket
• Hold a warm drink
• Place one hand on your heart
• Breathe slowly and say:
“I am allowed to feel. I am held in this moment.”
No fixing. No analysing. Just being.
EFT for Confidence & Emotional Reset
With everything shifting right now, confidence can wobble a little. That’s completely normal.
A gentle Emotional Freedom Technique (tapping) practice can help regulate your nervous system and rebuild inner steadiness.
Try this:
Tap gently on your collarbone or wrist point and say:
“Even though I feel a little unsettled,
I deeply and completely accept myself.”
Repeat slowly, breathing in between.
Let it be soft. No pressure to “get it right”.

A Note for This Final Stretch of Winter
We are close now. You can feel it in the lighter mornings, the subtle shifts, the way nature is beginning to hint at what’s coming but we’re not fully there yet. Please continue to listen to your body, meet your needs without pressure
• Rest when you need to
• Move when you feel ready
• Be gentle with yourself in the in-between
“I trust the quiet growth within me.
I honour my pace, my energy, my becoming.
I am rising in my own time.”
Until next week,
With love
Marie xx
