2026 MOON CALENDAR

Flower Wisdom for 2026 
 
For 2026, I am called to combine both flower and cosmic wisdom ~ Anemone and Chariklo co-star with the Moon. 
 
Traditionally the plant spirit of Anemone speaks of love and loss, forsaken love.
For me, she asks specifically, where have we forsaken ourselves? Where have we not lived in a way we wish to live? What and where is our true Essence? Where are the parts of ourselves we forgot to love, the parts we were told not to love? 
 
In astrology, Chariklo is an asteroid that symbolizes the Caretaker and the Silent Observer. A celestial body whose Greek name roughly means “spinning grace.” At threshold times in our lives she accompanies us, as a force of love, into the realms of the unknown. She holds a gentle but powerful energy that can lead us into periods of rest and pause, giving room for our body’s innate ability to heal and trust our intuition. She travels between Saturn (the old order) and Uranus (the new order), not crossing their orbits, but instead, gracefully holding space as a profound, loving mediator. 
 
This year, Chariklo and Anemone are needed together, joining hands, merging their medicine to help us embody forsaken love. This is a year of profound evolution in understanding what self-love means to each of us, uniquely. Their combined magic speaks of miracles, divination, protection and destiny. They are both guardians, magical helpers that are preparing us for the new era that lies ahead. This year, we will come to know our own strength. 
 
I’ve outlined the moons in silver where Chariklo is in conjunction with the moon each month. Chariklo’s energy may be more intensely felt when they are in this aspect. We can trust that we are seen, loved and supported. Chariklo goes retrograde between May 31st and November 2nd, which is an invitation to make time for anything that reflects self-love to you, or it could be a time to review what rest and pause might mean for you. 
 
Chariklo has a sixty-two year orbit.
I’ll be sixty-two this year, marking my Chariklo return.
