Why Now is the perfect time to heal your Mother Wound.



We are each born of our mother. Many of you here have become mothers, and even grandmothers and grandparents.


You may struggle in your relationship with your mother. 


How do you hold her in your heart? With love and ease? With resentment? With frustration?


Is she alive, or deceased? (My mom died of cancer when I was 25).


What story do you tell yourself about your mother? (You may want to write it down right now). 


What feeling is created in your body when you tell this story, or run it through your mind?


What ‘shape’ and emotional charge are created in your energy field when you tell this story to yourself and others?


Do you know that if you struggle to receive from your mom, it also plays out in how much you can receive from the world? In utero, as an infant, she was your world and your provision, or lack.


Did you know that if you struggle to find an intimate partner, or struggle in your romantic relationship, in Family Constellations work, we always trace this back to your first love, and most intimate attachment…your mom?


This is why we always work with mom first in intergenerational healing. In some ways, bringing this relationship to peace brings the biggest payoff in healing work.


 

Why are the next 3 months the perfect time to focus on healing work around your mom or mother figure?


As an energy healer, I’m learning to understand how the big energies above us–of planets and stars–are influencing our earthly experience.


Astrologically, the planet ♂️ Mars is retrograde in the zodiac sign of ♋ Cancer. It moved into this position on January 6, 2025, and will be retrograde in Cancer until February 24, 2025. 


Then Mars stations (this means it stops that ‘backward’ retrograde movement). It then moves forward and moves out of the sign of Cancer on April 19. This is a window of about 4 months.


What does all of this mean for you? How do these grand movements of the planets guide us energetically down here on Earth?



♋ Cancer is a water sign. It’s about how you personally feel.


  • What you need to feel safe. 

  • Family, home, safe environment, parents and caregivers. 

  • Family tribe and especially mother and mothering. 

  • Cancer rules the breasts. 

  • The house you come home to in order to decompress after work.

  • How you learn to trust what you are feeling.

  • Cancer gets to the heart of what you really need and want and how you trust your heart.


The purpose of Mars in Cancer is to help you go deeper into what you really need. What is going on inside of you that has been hard to look at? How can you come back home to yourself?


♂️ Mars is your warrior spirit. It’s what you fight for. It is your action and physically oriented 'yang' energy.


  • Mars entering Cancer is creating restlessness, a feeling of working through something from the past.

  • Mars is triggering emotions at home (Cancer). 

  • The triggering is around mother, your mother figure or you as a mother, which is the Cancer energy.

  • Mars moving direct wants action. Mars direct is what you want to fight for.

  • Mars retrograde brings up what needs to be worked through. Mars in Cancer retrograde holds back, so the energy does not get expressed. 

  • There can be emotional repression and resentment. 


Mars in Cancer right now is bringing up what you need to work through at a deeper level of your emotional body.


Does this resonate? Is there something  uncomfortable stirred up right now, but you don’t know how to move through it?


Healing the Mother Wound, which begins Saturday, January 18, is a healing container where I can help support you to move through any of these issues arising around mother and mothering, home and emotional support.


The way to work with these astrological energies is to look at the pattern. What pattern is coming up that relates to your childhood?


In Healing the Mother Wound, we will work with my expertise in Family Constellations work for generational trauma.


Family constellations work is all about patterns. It brings dramatic results because we look beyond the patterns you struggle with as just being your personal struggle, to see the truth of how they are rooted further back in your family system and generational unresolved trauma.


What is coming up that ,you felt you could never fully express feeling it would not be understood? Cancer wants a safe place to get it all out.


The 6 month container of Healing the Mother Wound, meeting once a month from January 18, 2025-June 21, 2025 is a great place to get it all out! Not through venting, but through encountering the blocked energetic and emotional patterns between you and your mother, and in your larger family system, and releasing them.


With Mars in Cancer, you could be realizing something you did not get in your childhood from your mom (or primary caregiver). There may be anger. You may feel a lack of validation, not understood, resonated with or heard. Do these sound like some of the challenges you have with mom?


Wrapped into this whole astrological soup with Mars in Cancer, there is support from Uranus (transformation), Neptune (spiritual grace), Saturn (wisdom and structure). This is support to mature these issues, understand them and get to the heart of them.


This is exactly what the process of Family Constellations helps you to do: move beyond rehashing your relationship with mom in therapy, go to soul level, understand the deeper intergenerational aspects, get to the heart of what needs to be resolved for real change to occur and mature your emotional body.


The support of these wisdom planets (Uranus, Saturn, Neptune) will help you understand your mother from a detached perspective: this is who my mom is, she did her best. 


This is what constellations work also helps you to do while still meeting your deep Cancerian need for validation and comfort.


With the help of Uranus, Neptune and Saturn, you are meant to find peace and understanding. 


Bringing relationships to peace by clearing trauma patterns out of your family system and from between you and mom is exactly what we are going to do in Healing the Mother Wound.


If you are ready to take advantage of this perfect energetic set up to do this healing work on your primary attachment bond and its effect on your intimate relationships, ability to receive–including financial abundance, and your sense of safety in the world, I welcome you into this journey.
