August Full Moon 2020

The moon just went full!

And today’s Aquarius full moon, is square Uranus.

(No tittering now)

(Pfft! Oh go on then, I did!)

So this full moon brings peculiarity, some unexpected change and demands us to expect the unexpected with flexibility and adaptability.

I’d definitely advise not taking risks or making knee jerk decisions or changes today.

Positive thinking, hard work, patience, and kindness with our words will make any difficult changes much easier to handle.

Home, family, and intimate relationships are the focus for not just today but the next two weeks as you’ll be feeling opposing forces at play. It’ll be work versus home, what you need versus what you want, opposition ahoy… so now you know, don’t allow this energy to create tension and pressure. If you don’t make time for self-care and your spiritual well-being, you’ll end up easily led into conflict and chaos that drains your energy, so make it non-negotiable that you get some you time.

Our instincts and intuition reach their peak at a full moon. This os a good opportunity to help yourself heal any relationship challenges you’ve been experiencing. You will clearly see any relationship dynamics or negative feelings causing disharmony if you meditate on this today.

There’s a rebellious streak to this full moon’s energy too, as we’ve already seen in world events these past few days. So its up to you to decide whether to go with an almost compulsive urge to seek stimulation, independence, rebelliousness, and recklessness. But as I’ve said, this is not a good moon phase for risk-taking or making sudden changes, so don’t be surprised if following your compulsion results in some consequences!

Making some adjustments in response to change is fine, but making big changes on the spur of the moment could well lead to more chaos in your life.

The best way to handle this erratic energy is to be open-minded and flexible. This will help you use your heightened instincts and faster reflexes to your advantage. You can then quickly adapt to unexpected changes and take advantage of exciting new opportunities.

New relationships with unusual people, or with people from different cultural or ethnic groups than your own are likely, a great breath of fresh air and new perspective! However, such new relationships may be brief or cause a backlash from close friends or family so be prepared for that.

Keep your communications and especially written messages simple and to the point to avoid misunderstandings. Extra care should be taken with important decisions and business deals. Seek professional or trusted advice if you must sign a contract, delay it for a week or so if you can.

However, critical thinking and the ability for deep research make this is a good moon phase for studying serious or spiritual subjects. Positive thinking, attention to detail, patience, and understanding are the keys here, and the more unorthodox or woo-woo the subject matter, the more you’ll enjoy it right now!

So, if there is anything I can do to help you on this dramatic full moon, I have distant healing and chakra cleanse and balancing appointments available tonight if you fancy a little full moon self care! Feel free to book yourself in…

Full moon blessings!

Until next time…

New Moon in Cancer July 2020

This New Moon in Cancer encapsulates the global situation and our own personal vulnerability in one.  Of late, we may feel we have been torn between our need for comfort and security versus the expectation to adhere to rules and boundaries.   I dont know about you, but the rebellious streak in me is right at the fore!

Despite the restrictions upon our global freedoms at present, it’s still up to us to rebel peacefully and personally to put our lives back in order.  Our personal lives are entirely ours to master, no matter what is going on in the world.  What has been allowed to slide?

We must now take action and here’s why this particular new moon is a great time to do so. Cancer is a caring sign and when we care about something we can act responsibly  because we are emotionally invested in the outcome being a kind one.

We set good boundaries when we truly care about the consequences of the outcome as we are setting them.

Abuse of power has been rife in the world for so long, but in recent times  more and more of the power-corrupted structures and people have been exposed. Since this New Moon in Cancer rules over children and the vulnerable too, we can expect more corruption exposed. Darkness is being brought into the light to be expunged and healed.

Saturn (visible in the night sky so brightly this month) is very much the planet of “what goes around comes around.” Especially for people and institutions that have abused their power – more so for those who have taken advantage of the vulnerable.

On an individual and personal level today, we need to examine and meditate on taking back our personal power from anything oppressive – be it our own behaviours and patterns or external oppression.

Really check in with ourselves to ask what is it that overpowers and restricts us in our own personal spiritual evolution?

To do that, we have to

  • identify and sit with whatever comes up that needs attention,
  • create supporting habits to nurture ourselves

From that place of caring and understanding, we can find better rules and create better support systems.

But we first have to face our vulnerability. Only then we can transform it into true power.

Here’s some new Moon Meditation advice to help you remember who you are and feel powerful again. Or maybe experience your own power for the first time. Today is a huge opportunity to remind yourself it is safe to be powerful in a loving and kind way.

Brightest New Moon Blessings!

Solstice New Moon Eclipse – Energy Report

This Eclipse on the 21st June at Summer Solstice is likely to bring big shifts and changes that will continue to dramatically manifest on a global level. A new pathway is opening for the planet, and this Eclipse is the first step we are all taking as a collective.
We can use this energy to call in and manifest what we wish to feel and experience both on a personal and global level.
What world do you wish to be a part of?
What kind of world do you wish to create?
This New Moon Annular Solar Eclipse takes place at zero degrees Cancer, representing the converging of timelines and an opening of new possibilities. Whilst I feel the loving potential of this eclipse, like every birth & new beginning there’s always the obligatory death of aspects needing to fall away. What no longer serves may even exit in a dramatic way. Dramatic but essential. Once the drama subsides, the new ways, adventures and opportunities will flood in.
As humanity shifts through this uncomfortable and fiery time of overdue change, we will become stronger and more compassionate beings. As we speak, many are shocked as looking into their long held core beliefs teaches huge lessons. This eclipse is certainly enhancing our ability to look deep and deal with whatever we need to shed and evolve through.
This portal offers a truthful & honest insight into the deepest aspects of you, and how your present maybe a product of your past, or unconscious situations /circumstances /imprinting /beliefs. Eclipses are catalysts of change, so don’t be afraid to feel deeply.
With so many aspects influencing this New Moon – including Solstice, Mars conjunct Neptune squaring Moon, Eclipse and Jupiter-Pluto conjunct (just to name a few), this is a powerfully transcendent New Moon that will most likely be felt for a very long time.


New Moon in Cancer
New Moons are all about setting intentions for the forthcoming lunar cycle. For our June 2020 New Moon, the Moon & Sun are in the Astrological Sign of CANCER.
Cancer is a Water sign and is ruled by the Moon, hence our New Moon heralds an emotional wave of nurturing, some tender ‘mothering’ we owe to ourselves. In light of the huge shifts/changes that have been taking place this year, may be this is a kind reminder we also need to take responsibility for our self nurturing and care at this time. And since this New Moon is also a Annular solar eclipse, it will be felt deeply.
This Moon reminds us that in order to move forward, we need to embody that which unites, that which brings us together.

Kindness. Compassion. Truly listening. Seeking solutions/actions borne out of caring rather than retaliation through fear. Owning the stories of the past, and together co-creating our future.

Cancer is the sign of the Sacred Feminine, the creative nurturer. This new moon asks us to tune into this aspect of self (whether we are male or female). Allow that wisdom to be imparted with unconditional love.
Cancer relates to home, our ancestry, our roots – taking us deep into reflection. Cancer also relates to feeling at home within your physical meat suit vehicle for the consciousness, comfortable within your own skin, feeling safe and secure.
Where in your life have you given away your power, given away your intuitive insight, given away your energy in order to conform to a narrative that you are now discovering you were never really comfortable with?
This insightful New Moon will help you reclaim ownership of your life. A call to action of where/how you are now guided to place your energy in order to facilitate social justice. Your energy need not come from fighting a war (Mars influence), but rather a solidarity & purposeful vision that serves a cause much greater than yourself. United. Rising as One humanity. Reminding ourselves we are all connected.

Quarantine Awakenings

I’ve been noticing a big shift in what kind of energy work and mentoring people are coming to me for of late. It appears that quarantine and recent revolutionary times are waking the spiritual connections and perceptions in a great many more people than ever before. I’ve never had so many people seeking help in learning to control new found abilities to sense spirit and the energies of the living as empaths. Its quite frankly, been freaking some folk out. One moment they are living their lives in muggle mode, then bang! Seeing spirits, knowing things without knowing how they know them which then come true, prophetic dream messages, deep intuition about people they just met being proven, the list goes on. I’ve long held the belief based on my own experiences and those of many people who’ve come to me for assistance, that traumatic events can wake people up to their abilities. They’ve been there all along, dormant just waiting to suddenly burst forth like the unwelcome chest exiting xenomorph in Alien. Well maybe not that dramatic for everyone, but you get the idea. In most cases, it is not something we have gone looking for, it just showed up, dramatically, jazz handed. And freaked us the feck out, prompting us to question everything we may have previously believed was real or “normal”.

So what do we make of this time we are living through, this shift?

It is uncomfortable and challenging to be alive right now. We are examining so many old tired patterns, learned behaviours and core beliefs about how the world is, and was. The veil is not just being lifted, its being ripped away. Revelation after revelation, hierarchies and supposed heroes being exposed as flawed and toppled from their metaphorical or actual pedestals.

There is more to come and we may be shocked by much of it.

Revolutionary times have always needed the helpers, healers, wise folk in the background, soothing the fever pitch vibrational energy stirred up by that need for change in the aftermath. More and more people are being called to action, woken from the muggle slumber and have no choice but to accept and embrace their new normal. Learning to control these exceptional birthright abilities will be a challenge on top of everything else going on, but it is possible, and necessary.

More people are waking up now in this time, because the old normal never worked for us all. What comes next has to work for the entire planet of living beings.

What’s ahead will require more and more of us to know and understand what is truly real. The Universe operates on love, it is that simple. Energy, frequency and vibration can be transmuted when we learn how. Even hate can be changed with unlearning and accepting that old beliefs were not based on direct experience and facts. We see this perfectly in small children, no concept of hate, embracing each other as kindred souls, nothing more or less.

Wherever we can show support, build community, heal each other, unconditional love shows up. Separation falls away.

What we are seeing right now is messy, violent but it is tearing down the carefully constructed illusion of separation that never ever was meant to be humanity’s way. We are all part of the one consciousness and whatever keeps us on a path away from that truth will always fail.

So let’s start small by asking the big questions. Accept whatever shadowy murk or guilt may arise from conditioning and challenge yourself to do better from now on.

“How can I be of service?” is a really big question. We all have at least one answer that we can put into action today, no matter how small, be it checking in on people, telling those you hold dear that you love them, or even better, show it with random acts of kindness. If you notice something beautiful about a person, tell them. If someone speaks and shows kindness, encourage them.

So how are you feeling during this time of madness? Are you showing signs of awakening?

If you need some assistance, I’m here.

New Moon in Gemini

New Moon

The New Moon is the Dark Moon, when the night sky is dark and there is no Moon visible in the sky. This is a time of magic, of darkness – not the darkness that keeps you up at night, but the darkness of transformation, of unknowing. Of being the seed of potential.

Today’s New Moon is in Gemini, and Gemini is never boring!

It is a fun, expressive, intelligent energy and loves to help us with all forms of communication. Gemini is resourceful and helps us to make life in all aspects lighter and easier.

Feel the urge to draw, paint or write?

This is a good time to give full reign to your imagination.

Make space for your creativity today.

What are you dreaming into being?

There is magic in the unknown, if you surrender to it.

No pressure on self. 

How can you make it easier to just be in the joy of creating?

Think of New Moon energy like a seed that has been planted in the dark nurturing soil, uncertain of what’s to come or what it will turn out to be. No rush, all in time. There is magic in being that seed that is waiting to sprout. It is how all creation begins and the New Moon is a time to honour and tune in to our creative powers.

As the New Moon falls in Gemini, the sign of the twins, we may also feel pulled in two directions. We may feel our heart wanting to go one way, and our mind wanting to go the other. Some of us may even feel a sense of confusion, loss or hopelessness. It is temporary. The dark night can seem long, but the light will always return.

This is a powerful time for ritual work, for setting intentions, and for thinking about our long term plans.

What do you want?

What are you willing to do to make it happen?

Trust your inner wisdom, retreat within. Give yourself permission to wait until the right answer floats up and you are met with knowledge.

Helpful crystals today:

Fluorite for focus and direction,

Any kind of quartz for amplification,

Rainforest jasper for manifestation.

If you feel the need for some guidance, I have 30 or 60 minute Intuitive Life Path calls available next week so if you’d like to talk with me, just click on Talking Therapies and book yourself in here.

With love, as always and New Moon Blessings!

New Moon in Taurus

New Moon

This New Moon in Taurus encourages us to be grounded today, to slow the pace, rest, reflect, take stock and creatively think how we may best use all of the resources available to us in life.

This moment is giving us the inspiration to think outside the box about how to call more abundance to us and manifest what we need for our highest and greatest good for ourselves and the areas of need we wish to contribute to in the wider world too.

Relationships, resources and looking after ourselves are firmly in focus, and given the circumstances affecting the world right now, all of these things have been more important than ever of late. We’ve had no choice in slowing down and simplifying all aspects of life lately.

Taurus is the sign most connected to the earth, helping us to feel that connection and love for all sentient beings upon her. I’ve never seen so many people out in our local woodland before, reconnecting with nature and taking the time to attune to the earth again. Maybe this is the moment that never would have come otherwise for many people, this enforced slowdown, holding the mirror up close at last and asking the difficult questions about how we feel about how we’ve been living and what we intend to do about it.

This New Moon asks us to take a look into the future. Old toxic ways and systems are being exposed for exactly what they are and always have been, they are crumbling and falling down just like The Tower card in tarot, they are falling down but will be rebuilt in new, powerful ways that respect balance.

So we must go within and ask:
What part can I play to re-shape and help build a better world that respects mother earth when we aren’t in quarantine anymore?

What have I been ignoring that must change?

What do I truly feel passionate about?

When was the last time I really listened to the effects within my body and mind when I am out in nature?

We have to be channels for new ways of working, to initiate change.

May we be clear channels to help bring about compassion, respect and grace for all beings in need, including mother earth.

Taurus is about pleasure too, place your awareness down to your sacral chakra for a moment. Do you feel joyful? How do you measure joy?

Maybe it is having time to yourself?
Having time with the children you love where it’s just about laughter and play feeling peace?
Being in nature, nurturing plants or spending time with trees?
Laughter?
Hugs?
Creating something?

Maybe you measure joy differently?
How would it feel if I might start to measure joy via simpler things?
What kind of pleasure and beauty do I want to invite in through this next lunar cycle?

Pleasure can come from simplicity – eating good meals, taking long walks, being in comfy clothes, snuggling, being with nature.

What kind of joy beauty and pleasure am I inviting in?
How can I create joy beauty and pleasure for others?

Meditating on these questions will really help us to mentally emotionally, spiritually and energetically navigate this time that we’re going through together.

Embodying what we need is helpful too. If you need love, send it out, unconditionally.

Try sending this message to your body right now that you are in a state of comfort, joy, inner beauty and pleasure.

Your body responds to your thoughts…
I feel beauty
I sense beauty
I create beauty
I experience beauty
Everything that is beautiful surrounds me
I appreciate beauty
I attract beauty
I enjoy the experience of being here
I am grateful for the ability to perceive joy and pleasure

Now take a deep breath.

Get comfortable and set these powerful intentions now.
(Yes, you do hold this power!)
You can say this out loud, you can write it down, you can just absorb it in your mind:

I welcome and I claim health and well-being for all sentient beings.
I welcome and claim financial prosperity from sources seen and unseen with no detriment to any living being.
I claim the easement of all burdens that this time has caused all beings and mother earth.
I wish us all joy
I wish us all moments of silly laughter and the ability to feel a child like sense of renewal and optimism
I wish us all passion.
I wish us all a sense of connectedness to those we love and may be separated from in quarantine at this time.
I wish us a strong sense of what we stand for
May we all feel powerful and confident in what we’re doing and who we are.
I call in our collective energy and our collective wisdom to empower these intentions.
May our intentions come to pass at the perfect time and in full and deep alignment with our purpose for being on this planet at this time in this incarnation.
May our intentions come to pass in alignment with the highest good of all beings.
And so it is.

I recorded a healing drumming session for new moon last night and put it on YouTube – collect the healing and enjoy here.

Full Moon in Libra

This is the energy of the peaceful warrior.


The scales of balance ARE Libra energy today, and this full moon shines a light on to wherever imbalance has taken hold.

It’s OK if you feel like righting wrongs, speak your truth and go with that energy wherever you can peacefully.

Do you need to address bias, discrimination, or anything that’s just plain unfair?

Maybe you would like to contribute to a social cause. How can you support the vulnerable who are at risk from the year’s pandemic? Would you like to see your work culture be more inclusive? Are animals being mistreated in your area? Whether you’re donating time or money doesn’t matter. A social media campaign can raise awareness and inspire others who do have the means to put some funds behind an important initiative.

Libra marks the halfway point around the zodiac wheel, the turning point where the astrological energy shifts from “me” to “we.”

You may feel dissatisfied by any relationships that aren’t reflecting your values, emotional or professional. Can you align and agree on the things that are most important to you—or are you just looking in completely different directions now? Libra is the zodiac’s diplomat, and this full moon will lend a hand in keeping communications, negotiations or necessary partings peaceful. If you find yourself locking horns with loved ones regularly, learning to disagree without disrespecting the other party is assisted spiritually now. Rise above any power struggles and look for the common ground, for the greatest and highest good for all concerned.

Check in with how you are feeling about your home. Has your once-calm oasis turned into a noisy, cluttered place during quarantine? Bring some serenity back to your sanctuary. Whether you want to do a full-on purge or just tackle one communal area, let the Libra full moon help you to get motivated.

Libra is ruled by Venus, so the urge to create art and see beauty in everything is stronger than usual. Get creative!

As above, so below; as within, so without.

Tonight I am holding a LIVE Full Moon Goddess Gathering on my Facebook page at 7.30pm UK time!

This will be a new experiment, so bear with me…

We will share a group drumming healing with Reiki and Eir energy, calling in the moon goddesses. We will work with oracle cards and take part in a little manifesting ritual.

I can’t wait to share this full moon empowering energy with you. You’ll need to head over to my page

Until next time…

An Invokation to Health

My guides channelled this invocation to me this morning in meditation. You may like to light a candle, incense or anointing yourself with some essential oil you love and try reading the following out loud, breathing deeply as you do:

 An Invokation to Health

Goddess I welcome your attention, please hear my wishes

I claim the healing and resources to be well.

For myself and all sentient beings on this planet.

Bless us with an abundance of health and to be well.

Bless us with a swift end to disease.

Bless us with the ability to co-create a new reality that is aligned with our highest good where we support each other in true community.

I ask for a future where we are closer to each other, where we are honest and living together in a way that’s more meaningful, purposeful and authentic.

So Mote It Be, And So it Is.

With love, stay well… Rachel xxx

Full Super Moon in Virgo – Energy Report

For those of you new to “moon stuff” – a super moon is when the moon is closest to Earth and can appear larger in the sky than usual. Energy wise, its pull on the tides – and on us in our water filled meat suits is even stronger than usual!

On Monday 9th March at 10:47 AM Pacific and 5:47 PM UK time we have a full super moon in Virgo …during the end of Mercury Retrograde. Buckle up, the Force is strong with this one!

Super moons are really emotionally charged, and this one is full of big divine feminine Goddess energy. Any full moon is the very peak of  lunar energy, and this particular full super moon has a very strong water element to it thanks to Neptune’s influence, so this means it will be extra magical, mystical and emotionally super charged.

Have no fear of this power though… you’ll be able to direct it and bring it into focused effort and thinking via practical clean-cut Virgo’s influence.

Mercury is still retrograde (how foggy was this one??) but now it’s leaving Pisces and going into Aquarius we are slowly becoming clear minded again. We must however be careful not to rush or force anything, especially surrounding important communications and travel plans. In fact, don’t try to force anything  at all that isn’t flowing easily. Watery Aquarius reminds us to give to allowance, to go with the flow rather than make a futile attempt to control the oceans.

This full moon is even more perfect than usual for enhancing our personal magic, be it in the form of ritual, poetry, creating intuitively, dancing, participating in healing or energy work, working in intuitive ways or on our own spiritual development.

Its also a time to honour our sensitivity, be gentle with ourselves lest our nerves become on edge in jarring situations, like nails down a chalkboard. We need to gently tune in, go within to ask ourselves what we need with honesty, trusting our inner knowing.

It’s a rare time where dreams and practicality can work if we don’t allow Virgo to go dark side into uber perfectionism and criticism.

Questions to ask ourselves on this full moon:

What do I really want?

Am I daring to dream enough about my future?

Will I carve out the time for any necessary changes? If not, why?

Be very honest with yourself, clearly witnessing any fear based “yeah buts…” that may come up.

Which practical baby steps can I action right now to bring me closer to my dreams and desires?

Am I being too much of a perfectionist and going in to overwhelm?

Am I finding fault with myself and others unfairly?

Am I meditating enough and getting into nature?  

What am I already grateful for?

How can I be of service to others?

In the next few days before full moon you may suddenly want space, freedom, independence… but this is partly the influence of Venus too… so no knee-jerk reactions, just observe your feelings in your closest relationships and just let them pass before you make any big decisions.

Other aspects of Virgo are efficiency  and cleansing… Virgo prompts us to get everything running like clockwork and we will feel the urge to cleanse and declutter our inner and outer world, our homes, our auric field, chakras, our friends lists – but don’t go too crazy!

If you need some help with your energetic spring clean, I can help you with a distant house cleanse, chakra balance and cleanse or even the full monty Clean Slate package of distant cleansing of home and self. Take a look at what resonates…

If you are in the UK on Monday 9th, I am holding a Full Moon Goddess Gathering in the yurt at the magical setting of the Nest in Wareside Hertfordshire SG12 at 7.30pm.

Join me and Kim Taylor in this gathering of women in the beautiful tranquil surroundings of The Nest, Wareside at full moon. This is a space to feel safe, empowered and supported, a place to share our thoughts and support each other with our wisdom. Bring your drums as we will also share a group healing of Reiki and Eir energy, working with moon goddess energy and sound, (and of course there will be tea and Kim’s amazing vegan cake!) We can’t wait to share this full moon empowering energy with you! Contact me to reserve your place in advance. Exchange will be £15 payable on the evening.

If you want to harness and honour this beautiful full moon with some simple energy work here’s my downloadable easy to follow Full Moon Rituals manual…

Until next time

Bright Blessings
