Self-care has become a buzzword these days, though it’s definitely not bubble baths for everyone. It actually means something totally different for each of us, and this is based on our moon sign. For some, self-care may be going for a run; for others, it’s a cozy weekend buried in books and steeping tea; for some, it’s an all-nighter; and for others, it may simply be saying “no.” Learn how tuning into your moon sign self-care practices will give you the nourishment your soul actually craves.
In astrology, the moon sign represents your core needs, and if we do not meet those, we will feel undernourished and depleted. I recommend making it a weekly practice to ensure you have filled your lunar cup in at least one of the ways listed below.
