signs.

I saw this beauty on a solo walk at the greenway today just before asr. The full moon is on wednesday so she must only have a few more days...

I did a quick search for the significance and came across this post:

To meet one is a special gift, for when she is in her adult moth stage she only lives for approximately one week. It does not eat. It exists only to mate and continue the cycle.

From a biological perspective, it is brief.

From a symbolic perspective, it is profound.

The spiritual significance of the Luna Moth is not fantasy — it is a mirror of transformation itself.

The Luna Moth represents:

Metamorphosis

Surrender before renewal

Cyclical intelligence

The passage between identities

The wisdom of night

When a Luna Moth appears in your life, it often coincides with a liminal season:

The ending of a relationship

A vocational shift

A loss of identity

A spiritual reorientation

A threshold you did not consciously choose

The appearance of a Luna Moth does not guarantee ease.

It suggests that something in you may be dissolving so that something else can take form.

This stage can feel disorienting. Even destabilizing.

But dissolution is not failure.

It is often a precursor to emergence.

on the 17th I posted Week 90 on Substack.

on the 19th I finished a 90 day Sadhana.

a month ago I began publishing MOON AURA, 

a monthly decade diary & 120 moon wheel calendar.

I also released LA SALAT a 34 moon record... 

and I'm pretending to work on Sekhmet, but really just re-reading every egyptian historical fiction book I own and then going to become mad and put it all together within 3 days.

all summer I've been alternating camp at the masjid and home-schooling my two lions while also mentoring my swim sistars every monday rising.

there's also something happening in my garage...

life is perfectly unboring, unaesthetic, totally butter and basically completely offline.

miss you, I'll start posting here again soon. Xx

sadhana day 17.

 

the girl and the goddess.

this season has been for devouring the myths.

today I finished reading I, Medusa .

prior to that Ariadne, A Thousand Ships, Girls of Riyadh, Circe and Ninshubar, amongst others that I pulled from my shelf to read again.

listened to where the library hides...

rewatched kaos (bummed they aren't continuing the series)

I hadn't made the connection to the assignment until reflecting back on the suggested projects from cycle 03-04.

𓆸 CHERRY BLOSSOM

The Flower of Impermanence • The Breath Between Worlds • The Soft Return

Cherry blossoms arrive not to stay, but to remind.

They bloom in a fleeting abundance—petals like silk, like snow, like a whispered promise—and just as quickly, they fall.

This is their medicine.

They do not cling to their beauty.
They do not resist their ending.
They teach us how to open fully, even when we know it will pass.

In this way, cherry blossom is a sacred companion to the Spring Equinox—the threshold where life returns, not as permanence, but as presence.

✧

Frequency
ephemerality • renewal • softness • surrender • beauty in transition

Element
Air + Water
(the breath that carries the petals, the sap that rises to bloom)

Planetary Influence
Venus + Moon
(love, beauty, cycles, and the emotional body)

✧

Spiritual Significance

Cherry blossom reminds us that life is not meant to be held—it is meant to be experienced.

It is the flower of the Maiden, not in her beginning, but in her awareness:

that beauty is heightened by its impermanence.
that love is sacred because it cannot be possessed.
that every cycle, no matter how brief, is complete.

In Japanese tradition, sakura is revered as a symbol of life’s fleeting nature—a philosophy known as mono no aware—the gentle sadness and appreciation of passing things.

Within the grimoire, cherry blossom becomes a threshold flower—appearing at moments of transition, initiation, and quiet becoming.

✧

Ritual Use

Use cherry blossom energy when:

• entering a new season of life
• releasing attachment to outcomes
• honoring beauty without needing to preserve it
• softening the heart after grief or change

✧ Simple Ritual — Petal Offering

Sit outdoors or near an open window.
If blossoms are available, hold one gently in your hand. If not, visualize.

Whisper:

I release what was.
I receive what is.
I trust what is becoming.

Let the petal fall from your hand.

Do not catch it.

✧

Oracle Message

You are allowed to bloom, even if it does not last.

Not everything that is sacred is meant to remain.
Some things arrive only to open you.

Let yourself be seen in your becoming.
Let yourself be changed by what is passing through your life.

This is not loss.

This is the art of living.

the last 10 nights.

787 I found this list of duas for my children several years ago and have returned to it each Ramadan since. Similar to a list of business duas I've kept for the last 10 nights — I feel a warmth towards both authors and their families each time I read them, and feel so grateful that both found me. 

*8 was always missing, I went back and checked lol*
