The Sky Room

Welcome to The Sky Room

Look up. Look deeper.

The sky has always invited us to ask bigger questions. This space explores astrology, symbolism, lunar cycles, celestial events, and the timeless patterns that connect our inner and outer worlds. Not to predict your future—but to inspire curiosity, reflection, and wonder.

Mercury Retrograde in Cancer: Coming Home

Mercury often invites us to pause and reconsider the way we think, communicate, and understand our experiences. During a retrograde, that invitation becomes quieter, asking us to revisit rather than rush ahead.

With Mercury moving through Cancer, my thoughts have repeatedly returned to one simple question:

What does home really mean to me?

Home isn’t only a place. It’s the people we feel safe with. The memories we carry. The relationships that shape us. The spaces where we can finally exhale.

For me, Cancer falls in my Fourth House—the part of the birth chart associated with home, family, roots, emotional foundations, and the places that help us feel grounded. Looking back over the past several weeks, it’s hard not to notice how often these themes have appeared in my own life.

I’ve found myself reflecting on old relationships and appreciating the people who have quietly become part of my story. I’ve been thinking about where I belong, what truly feels like home, and what kind of life I’m slowly building.

What’s interesting is that I don’t actually know what is changing.

I simply have the quiet sense that something is.

Not in a dramatic way.

More like standing outside just before sunrise. The light hasn’t fully arrived, but you know morning is on its way.

So instead of trying to force answers, I’m choosing something different.

I’m taking each day as it comes.

I’m paying attention.

I’m trusting that when it’s time for the next chapter to reveal itself, I’ll recognize it.

Sometimes Mercury Retrograde isn’t asking us to solve the puzzle.

Sometimes it’s simply asking us to become familiar with the pieces.

And perhaps that’s enough for now.

A Lantern Reflection

What does “home” mean to you today?

Has that definition changed over the years?

Sometimes the sky doesn’t offer us answers.

Sometimes it simply gives us a beautiful question to carry for a while.
