Singer Pink and her husband, Carey Hart, welcomed their first baby on June 2nd in Los Angeles. In a recent interview, Pink described what led her to choose the baby's name, Willow Sage:
“The willow is my favorite tree. I grew up near one. It’s the most flexible tree in nature and nothing can break it — no wind, no elements. It can bend and withstand anything. I love that sentiment. I want that for her.”
“Sage is cleansing and sacred. And it sounded great together. It doesn’t hurt that her last name is Hart — flexible cleansed heart.”
Looking at Willow's natal chart, she just might fit the bill when it comes to her mom's hopes in naming her. Willow was born while both the Sun and Moon were in the sign of Gemini, a mutable sign. The mutable signs are about change; whether it's seeking variety like Gemini, progress like Virgo, or uncharted territory like Sagittarius. Gemini bends reality like a Willow tree bends in the breeze, allowing new information and observations to come in from any direction and let it change how they see things from moment to moment. This allows them to be flexible, because healthy Gemini doesn't allow itself to become so fixed on an idea that they become rigid, shattering when a new idea challenges what they thought they knew.
Willow was also born during the new moon, which is an energy that has a freshness and innocence to it. It is the beginning of a cycle, where everything seems possible and the pull of potential is very strong. Willow embodies the essence of this cycle.
Willow also has Venus and Mars in the sign of Taurus, which is a very different energy from Gemini. While she'll have the open and fresh attitude, she'll also have Taurus to ground her and to experience the world not just from the mental perspective, but in a tangible and experiential way as well. Taurus is a very pure and simple kind of energy: straightforward, stable, and peaceful for the most part. Sage is also often recommended for Taurus when using aromatherapy, because of its cleansing abilities. Taurus likes clean and simple.
Looks like Pink made a good choice for her daughter's name!
