Reclaiming Money as Feminine & The Mother Wound.

Last week Venus/Inanna reached the Sacral Chakra gate on her journey of ascent from the underworld.

Venus is all about money and love and the sacral chakra is where we carry the wounds of love/Mother and Money, so it felt timely to share what has landed for me this past year about money and love.

For most of my life, I believed money was masculine.

It made sense in the world I had learned to navigate. Money seemed linear, structured, rational—something earned through hard effort, discipline, and relentless forward motion. Money was about doing, producing, proving. About pushing through.

But during the last Cancer fullmoon, something softened and landed in me.

Cancer, ruled by the Moon, with the archetype of The Mother, opened a deeper listening.

And in that listening, an unexpected insight arrived—not as a thought, but as a knowing in my body:

Money is feminine.

Not in its distorted modern expression, but in its original frequency.

It turns out that the word Money comes from the greek goddess Juno Moneta. The first use of money

" We find next that Moneta was an epithet, a name, for Juno, Queen Mother of Heaven. It was, in fact, in Juno’s temple where money was minted… As a tribute to Juno’s wise council, the mint was set up in her temple which housed as well the Roman treasury. All of this puts money matters, we might say as well the matter of money (i.e. gold and silver and other metals), in the realm of mother… We see it here in the dramatic image of matter being minted into money in the temple of the mother… In her role as Juno Moneta, Juno was a great advisor and seer. She could see the future". (Lockhart, 1980, p. 19 - 20)

Everything comes from the Mother.

Love. Life itself. Nourishment. Safety. Belonging. And off course abundance in all it's forms.

Money, at its essence, exists to sustain life. To support survival, care, creativity, and continuation. It is meant to nourish the body, the family, the village, the future.

When seen this way, money is not a tool of domination—it is a vessel of care.

And suddenly I saw the deeper wound beneath our collective money consciousness.

Money is intimately connected to the Mother wound.

Not only our personal relationship with our biological mother, but the absence of Mother consciousness on this planet, which is L.O.V.E. (Life's Original Vibrational Energy)

A world that has forgotten how to tend life gently. A civilization built on extraction, rather than nourishment.

On productivity rather than care. On separation rather than community and belonging.

The original Mother consciousness is not forceful. She does not rush, dominate, or demand.

She moves softly, — like breath over water, like hands that know how to hold life without squeezing it.

Her power lives in the tender touch.

The Mother nourishes through presence.

She listens before she speaks.

She senses the rhythm of what is growing and protects it with quiet devotion.

This is not weakness. It is one of the deepest forms of power.

The original Mother knows that life cannot be forced into bloom.

It must be held, warmed, and allowed.

Her strength is the strength of fertile soil, of the dark womb of the Earth where seeds rest until the moment of emergence.

Softness, in her language, is not fragility. It is intimacy with life itself.

She is nourishment and protection.

Gentleness and fierce love.

She is the fierce protector of all life.

The one who whispers to life:

Grow. I am here. 

When the Mother is suppressed and wounded, abundance becomes distorted into lack.

Receiving feels unsafe.

Needing feels shameful.

Rest feels unearned, even unsafe.

Support feels conditional.

We learn that we must exhaust ourselves to deserve care.

That nothing comes freely. That being held is a weakness.

This is not a personal failure—it is a cultural inheritance.

In the absence of the Mother, money hardens, instead of nourishing.

It becomes something to hoard rather than circulate.

Something to control rather than trust.

Something to dominate rather than relate to.

We can live in lack even if we have a lot of money. Without the inner spiritual abundance, money becomes lack.

But money does not want to behave this way.

Money, like love wants to move like water.

It wants to flow toward life.

It wants to nourish ecosystems, not drain them.

It wants to support creativity, rest, healing, and community.

When we remember money as feminine, the questions shift.

Not: "How do I make more money?"

But: "How safe do I feel receiving?"

Not: "How do I control my finances?

But: "Do I trust life to support me?"

Money begins to mirror our relationship with being mothered—by life, by the Earth, by the unseen.

The feminine does not chase abundance.

She allows it.

She magnetizes it.

She receives it into an open body/vessel.

This does not mean passivity. It means attunement. It means living in relationship with resources rather than in battle with them.

Healing our relationship with money, then, is not only about budgets or strategies.

It is about restoring Mother consciousness—within ourselves and within our systems.

Returning to our inner cycles and the cycles of the Earth.

Learning again how to receive without guilt. How to trust nourishment.

How to let support arrive.

And how to share abundantly.

Money is not merely masculine doing.

It is also feminine allowing.

It is the echo of the mother saying:

"You are held."

When money remembers the feminine, there is no longer a need for war.

No need to conquer, to take, to prove our worth through domination.

Something soft returns.

We rest again inside our bodies. The nervous system exhales.

The earth beneath us feels steady enough to trust.

We remember that life was never meant to be a competition of survival.

We were not created to measure ourselves against one another, nor to weigh our value in numbers, success, or accumulation.

In the feminine current, worth is not earned through exhaustion.

It is inherent. Breathing. Alive.

And perhaps the real work of this transitional time is not learning how to earn more,

but remembering how to allow ourselves to receive.

To receive as the tree receives rain. As the womb receives life. As the earth receives the seeds in the dark.

With reverence. With trust. With an open heart.

Mother consciousness is love.

And we return to it slowly—through the healing of the heart, through the awakening of the womb, through the quiet knowing that we were never meant to live separate from the nourishment of life itself.

Ahavah,

with love & presence
