Mother’s Know

Written By Damascena Tanis

The most precious part of being a mom is when we look our children in the eyes. And see them way beyond who they are in that moment.

Mom’s know the heart and soul of our children. It’s a deep knowing, and when we can catch their gaze, and it lingers for a moment, we understand how intertwined our journey’s are. In these moments with our kids, it fills us with so much love, it often bubbles over, because it’s too much to hold inside our bodies, and it drips out of our eyes.

I love having this moment with my kids. They happen all the time when children are little, but become more rare as they get older.

Alex and Tanner were used to me looking at them, and quietly tearing up. Little walking miracles they are. My miracles. And They understand what is being communicated more than the little kids do. Mom’s adoring them. Being grateful for them. Loving them. Appreciating all that had to happen to bring them into the world and land us together.

I had this moment with Tanner the day before he died. I’m so glad I had it. It gives me the knowing that we had a moment of soul connection hours before he left. It’s some ridiculously small consolation that he got to see and feel how much I loved him.

But it’s also this spot, this mother child connection point, that holds the biggest, deepest, well of grief for me.

I love you son. Infinitely.

Damascena Tanis

Damascena is an Archetypal Astrologer, Ayurvedic Wellness Practitioner, and The Facilitator of the Transformative Journey through the Mandala of Venus’ Wisdom, called “Sky Dancer”.

She is a passionate devotee of the ever unfolding mystery. As an expert observer, a trait she developed as an only child, she regards herself as both a student of life, and decoder of the cosmos.

Skilled at recognizing invisible patterns, and picking up on subtle shifts in the collective, she gets a thrill from uncovering and revealing the hidden threads that are woven together to create our paradigm.

Her passion for this existential detective work aligns well with her unique approach to one on one client work, as she helps others to discover the building blocks of their archetypal blueprint, and mythic overtones. She does not believe that astrology is static, and therefore works with clients to develop strategies and practices that allow them to transcend challenging aspects of their natal chart.

She lives on the Shores of Lake Erie with her husband, four kids, and Cat, Oscar (the grouch).

These days, when she isn’t interpreting a natal chart, or translating the stars for her astrology blog, you can find her engaging in one of her favorite pandemic pastimes, unraveling her inner “good girl”, cultivating the ability to thrive in the deep, dark, unknown, or playing her favorite game of identifying fun paradoxes called “two things are true at once”.
