Mantras for Mamas and Papas

Forget helicopter parenting, simply nourish your child’s moon sign so they can shine bright! Knowing the moon sign & placement of your children (& also partners, lovers & friends etc.) is a magical key that unlocks essential insight into what they crave emotionally. Fortified with this knowledge, specific to their child’s personal moon, parents create a secure state where children bask in feeling seen, heard and able to step into an authentic version of self. Simplified down to an abridged vibe, these mantras let you know what to convey or literally say to feed those you love – and in return, create flowing exchanges that comfort, support and nurture.

Aries Moon: Give them independence: “You are a great leader, show us the way, let’s go on an adventure NOW & just go for it!” Let’s compete, “how many towels can you pick up off floor in 1 minute? - You sure won that challenge!”

Taurus Moon: Give them regularly the sensual comforts of life: “At 6 pm each evening, let’s be calm, eat some good food, listen to music and enjoy life in its fullest!” Let’s have a routine and move at a slower pace (to avoid stress)

Gemini Moon: Give them opportunities for intellectual exchange: “What do you think about ……? Let’s discuss. Your mind is so clever, even brilliant, and I’m interested in your thoughts.” They will probably require extra stimulation around them (music playing, bouncing a ball, social media) while studying – it helps them focus, lol.  

Cancer Moon: Give them security and comfort: “Let’s go decorate your room so it feels cozy. We can display your photos and souvenirs, get fluffy blankets and pillows and later, let’s bake cookies (your favorite ones) and cuddle…..

Leo Moon: Give them attention and adoration: “I see you, I hear you, I adore you. You are my star! Period. (never publicly scold them – ever!)

Virgo Moon: Give them purpose: “What you just did was really helpful and made a big improvement. Wow - it was perfect - Thank you.”

Libra Moon: Give them harmonious connection. “Let’s go look at something beautiful (art, interior design, architecture, fashion, shopping) or do something pleasurable or create something together and talk about it. They often hold space for “the other” and love to process feelings/thoughts together.

Scorpio Moon: Give them personal space: “I know today was an intense day, do you want to chill in your room, I bought you this cool black light bulb that I thought you would like in there.” Let them brood and resurface when ready. Also intense physical activities can be a great outlet.

Sagittarius Moon: Give them something to learn & master: “There is an extra training tonight at the Muay Thai Gym, do you want to go, and wear those new red shorts?” Or, lets talk politics, travel, see the big picture or laugh, eat (a lot) and not take things too seriously.

Capricorn Moon: Give them recognition for their hard work: “Don’t worry, your discipline and diligence will pay off and I am so proud of your steady progress and successful productivity.” It’s ok if they prefer to work than play. They seem old when young & young when old.

Aquarius Moon: Give them a chance to express their individuality with like-minded people. “Hey, do you want to volunteer this weekend (after you get your nose pierced), host the basketball team dinner or have your friends over for a movie night? It’s all good.

Pisces Moon: Give them ways to soften the harshness of the world: “Let’s make your space a meditation zone – you can add your music, candles, tarot cards and journal there when you are not volunteering at the Animal Rescue League. Or maybe go take a bath with sea salt and essential oils.
