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.
What have the skies shared lately?
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.
Sometimes the Sky Feels Like It's Reading Along
Lately, I’ve found myself doing something I don’t usually do.
I’ve been comparing the current sky with my own life—not to predict what comes next, but to see whether the symbolism reflects what I’m already experiencing.
To my surprise…… it kind of does.
Mercury is retrograde in Cancer, a season often associated with revisiting old thoughts, redefining what “home” means, and reorganizing the stories we tell ourselves.
Meanwhile…… I’ve spent the last few weeks doing exactly that.
Not because Mercury told me to.
Life simply handed me moving boxes, notebooks, coffee, and more questions than answers.
Somewhere between packing my home and building new creative projects, I realized something unexpected.
Many of the things I’ve been creating weren’t separate ideas at all.
They were all trying to build the same thing.
A place that feels like home.
Whether that’s through music, writing, Moonlit Orbit, Luminary Revelations, or even one particularly overqualified committee of squirrels…
the theme keeps repeating.
Belonging.
I’ve also noticed something else.
The current sky seems to be emphasizing foundations more than fireworks.
Less “become someone new.”
More…
“Build a life that feels like you.”
Honestly? I think I needed that reminder.
Maybe astrology isn’t about proving that the planets are making things happen.
Maybe, sometimes, it’s simply another language that helps us notice what our hearts have been trying to say all along.
And if that’s true… perhaps the real magic isn’t found in the stars.
Perhaps it’s found in recognizing ourselves when we look up.
Sky Room Question
Have you ever read about a current astrological transit and thought,
“Well… that feels uncomfortably accurate.”
Or…
have you ever looked back and realized life had already been teaching the lesson before you ever read the forecast?
I’d love to hear your thoughts.
P.S. If Mercury retrograde has also convinced you to reorganize your entire life, alphabetize your coffee mugs, or accidentally create an intergalactic squirrel research committee… you’re in excellent company.
