New Moon in Cancer – Energy Report

New Moon

New Moon in Cancer Today 17th July 

Emotions, emotions…

Am I safe?

Do I feel secure?

Do I feel nurtured?

Am I making my own self-care a priority?

We are feeling ALL the feels today. Even the shadowy ones we may not like to admit to. But it’s OK, if we let them out in a constructive and kind way.

In fact, kindness in everything we do today is advised, because we may say or do something without meaning to if we let the negative emotions fly out unchecked.

The past may come calling unexpectedly or old patterns may resurface we thought we had dealt with. Nostalgic memories may surface with all the love they remind us we deserve.

If you have some rose or smoky quartz, black moonstone, selenite or carnelian crystals, these will soothe you, keep them close by.

Meditate on the following:

What have I achieved since last new moon?

What do I wish to achieve during this next moon cycle?

How can I manifest what is for my highest good?

What are my emotions telling me today?

More power to you all xxx

Full Super moon in Capricorn – Energy Report

Full Moon in Capricorn

3rd July 12:39 GMT/UT

Mother Moon is closest to us at a super moon.
Her pull on us is so strong, we must honour it and do the very best we can to harness this power for the highest good. Our bodies, especially women’s bodies are naturally calibrated to the cycle of the moon, so we will be feeling this one!
We’ve seen some world events reveal corruption and throw it out there… for us to see the truth.

We must not look away from anything that makes us uncomfortable, instead we must take back power wherever we can for the highest good. Even small acts of rebellion in our personal lives, or saying no to continued injustices in small ways add up to huge shifts and change for the better. As a great man once said, “We must be the change we wish to see in the world”.

Emotions have been extreme and intense in this run up to full moon, often running high, and will continue to, so we need to take a moment to sit with them and ask what they are trying to teach us about our limits and boundaries.

Are we “over”reacting or just reacting to whatever we need to change or reinforce stronger boundaries? If someone says you are “too sensitive” examine where their lack of boundaries are!

Capricorn, the sign of the goat speaks to us about not backing down when we are pushed into discomfort. We can evolve past our current limitations if we strive to change ourselves. Stubbornness can be useful when applied to positive attempts for change.
We are powerful beings. We often forget this.

We are also helped today with intuitive focus, clarity and creative endeavours. Any creative activities today will be a wonderful soul nourishing therapy, you’ll surprise yourself with what you can achieve today if you focus.

We may find it difficult to discipline ourselves today, so forgive yourself if you find yourself rebelling in some naughty ways!

Questions and focus for today

Am I calm or being niggled, overreacting to something?
Where do I need to start saying NO with love?
Is some aspect of my life uncomfortable because I feel disempowered? Why? What tiny step can I take today to start to change this?
Am I seeing life as it truly is or from a place of perceived lack?
When was the last time I grounded myself and meditated?
Trust your intuition today it will be spot on!

Create something. Art, food, new organisation system of your crap drawer/cupboard (we all have one) – practical or impractical but beautiful, delve into your own ways of creativity even for a few minutes today.

Mini Ceremony:

Light a candle and think of all the things you wish to attract and manifest.

Before you go to sleep tonight, think about all of those things being real, already in your life and bringing you joy.

Make a list if you wish, and place it under your pillow.
See what happens!

New Moon in Gemini 18th June – Energy Report

NEW MOON IN GEMINI

18TH JUNE 2023

 05:37AM UK/GMT

Creative, sociable, this new moon has us feeling good!

We may find ourselves burning the candle both ends to fit in the fun and the things we have to get done that aren’t so fun, so be prepared for that. We will feel no guilt for having fun though! Don’t allow any party poopers to guilt you into feeling like you should be in two places at once. It is time to live in the moment and laugh, enjoy this window of happy vibes.

We will feel in the flow, making creative changes, adapting to new circumstances and having great new ideas about how to make the unexpected work even better than our plans.

It is a lovely opportunity for long overdue conversations with people we love to spend time with and just take our attention off the time. No plans, just be-ing.

Questions to ponder and mantras for this new moon:

Do I give myself enough opportunities to regularly chill the f out?

Where can I carve out some regular time in my week EVERY week that is for relaxing?

Do I live in the moment enough and just observe what that is… or constantly worry?

Does change scare me or fill me with anticipation about what is possible?

I will go with the flow

I will make time for the people I love

I will make time for ME.

If you need a little help relaxing or clearing any anxiety, negativity or blocks, take a look at all my distant energy healing and cleansing options here and see if any resonate with what you need…

 

Full Moon in Sagittarius – Energy Report

3rd/4th June 2023

Peak 4th June UK time 04:42 am

Beautiful clear energy abounds with this full moon!

I’m feeling good vibes with this one… Time to take charge and open up your horizons!

This is a time of deciding what is best for us. Taking ownership of necessary overdue endings, releasing what no longer serves us.

We may find ourselves actually finding closure by choosing acceptance in situations where we didn’t get the apology or explanation for the actions of others. Acceptance of those situations outside of our control. A time to embrace “It is what it is” and focus on whatever we CAN do to improve life.

Be prepared for all kinds of surprises… and for some surprise revelations and awakenings out of the blue! Some of these revelations may create some good rebellious feelings within you, honour them, channel them into the power to make change!

If you feel like you are needing to move on and leave some aspect of your life or personal relationships behind, go with and trust that feeling. Significant, meaningful transformation is yours today if you choose it.

With your focus on reinvention and rebirth, ask yourself:

“Who and what do I need to let go of?”

“What can I manifest that I want more of”

“What action no matter how small can I take today, right now, to move towards what I want more of?”

Light a candle and think of all the things you wish to attract and manifest. before you go to sleep tonight, think about all of those things being real, already in your life and bringing you joy. Make a list if you wish, and place it under your pillow.

See what happens!

If you’d like to harness the power of this energy window, try my healing services, especially The Empowerment Booster which works beautifully with this Sagittarian moon… I may still have space!

Until next time,

Brightest Blessings and more power to you…

Energy Report – New Moon in Taurus

 

New Moon

New Moon in Taurus

Friday 19th May – 16:53 GMT

After that humdinger of an intense full moon, this new moon in Taurus is just the panacea we need to soothe the soul!

It’s also a really powerful time for manifesting, more so than usual as new moon energy is always a good opportunity for creation, so when we speak something into being we need to be careful what we wish for! I always choose my words carefully at times like this, as sometimes we may just get what we wish for in a way we weren’t expecting or turn out to enjoy. Let’s just call it “No Disrespect Friday” 😊 Just to be on the safe side…

Lovely earthy Taurus brings us all we need to comfort ourselves, to feel safe and secure, and revel in some pleasure and peace. Oh the relief when we allow ourselves that!

We’ve been bombarded by solar flares very recently, which has just exacerbated any tiredness and tetchiness we’ve been trying to fend off, so this is a welcome reprieve to float in the moment and just be. I call these “Fuck It!” moments – nothing matters, whatever has been bothering us like a persistent mosquito, just chuck it in the fuck it bucket and take some time out to do whatever brings peace for an afternoon or day. Life will continue, the world will not stop turning. But our sanity requires it 😊

Try to avoid the stubborn old response of “But I’m too busy!” as the response to that statement is “Because you choose to be.” If you were suddenly incapacitated for a day, a week or longer, solutions would be found to whatever keeps you busy now. Wearing busy-ness like a badge of honour is a certain track to unhappiness long term. Rest and pleasure are just as essential parts of the human experience as selflessness, and we have a duty to ourselves to incorporate them into our daily lives to be a more effective giver of care for others.

Questions to ponder on this new moon:

  • Do I rest enough? Where can I make regular time for more moments to just “be”?
  • What do I wish for more of? Show me how and where I can realistically manifest it all. (Meditate on this. See what comes to you, it may surprise you, it’s worked wonders for me).
  • Where (or with whom) do I need to lovingly assert myself more?
  • What would bring me more daily pleasure? Focus on your sacral chakra just below the navel while you ask and wait for the answer.

I have space for you if you wish to indulge in the perfect time to maximise the effect of some distant healing or cleansing at new moon… Maybe you’d like to try my new Avebury Crystal Healing? Check my availability and book yourself in here …

Until next time…

More power to you!

Avebury Crystal Healing

I’m always pleasantly startled by silver linings. They usually come with hindsight or after the worst of challenging experiences, and in this case it is during.
If you’ve been subscribed for a while you’ll know I’m still waiting for surgery on a huge ovarian cyst that’s been in my body for at least a decade, misdiagnosed as a hernia many years ago. I’ve now been referred to yet another hospital, so since April, I’ve really channelled any frustration into healing myself on a higher level than ever before. I’m no stranger to pain, I’ve managed daily chronic pain of arthritis and old injuries for many years with holistic healing modalities, meditation techniques, natural remedies and healthy diet.
This past year has challenged what I thought I knew about pain, and pushed me to really take back power and build it to a whole new belief in what I can do to heal myself.
In early April, I was in hospital, waiting, prepped in my surgical gown for 9 hours, until someone finally told me the surgery had been cancelled. Angry wasn’t the word! I went home, vented, cried frustrated tears, then decided I was taking back my power, right now.
I meditated on what needed to change, how could I thrive best and bounce back fastest, not just from the frustrations, but from the trauma of the bouts of pain I’d been suffering, from the whole experience of being misdiagnosed and ignored, unheard for so long by the medical establishment. They had also told me to stop taking my natural go-to remedies and supplements pre-surgery which I noticed had made me a lot weaker.
So, with no new surgery date in sight, I wanted to bounce back and feel my powerful self ASAP.
Whenever I want to make a powerful change fast, I meditate and bring in my guides and ancestors, loved ones and ask,
“What do I need to know?”
My guides showed me Avebury, a neolithic stone circle and place of incredible healing power for me and many others over and over, and that I should choose some very specific crystals and incense from the two shops there within the circle, bless and dedicate them all to healing work, and charge them up on the Ring Stone. It was such an insistent message, we wasted no time.
That weekend we went to Avebury. I always feel instantly better there, not just supercharged with peaceful energy, but I’d noticed on previous visits, I don’t feel any pain while I am there, and pain is much less for me in the days following a visit.
I found the crystals and incense I needed, took them to the Ring Stone, and silently did the work needed while Mr F drummed a beautiful healing on his Rav Vast drum. It was a powerful experience I will remember forever. Outwardly, anyone looking at me would just see a woman with her head bowed and eyes closed in meditation 😊 Inwardly, the universe was opening up and showing me that I must take healing back into my own power, surgery or no surgery.

A strong wave of healing energy came in, and it has stayed with me ever since. It is very ancient, love filled and pure raw life force, Source itself. Similar feeling to Reiki flow but so much stronger. It has taken my weakness and returned my power back to me at full strength and then some. The trauma is gone. I’m just in feisty “bring it on!” mode for whatever comes next, and I have a deep certainty I can handle it.

We even went to our first festival of the year last week, which I hadn’t thought would be possible earlier this year. I don’t drink nowadays, but riding around on Boudicca all day at a festival usually leaves me physically crocked for a couple of days… not this time! I felt my usual level of achy but fine next day.

Somehow I’ve gone from having bouts of the worst pain in my life, to feeling better than I have in years.
And still with this “Xenomorph” alien cyst in my body! I’m not questioning this one bit, long may it continue!

I got back on to my tried and true natural holistic path, and I feel so much stronger, physically, emotionally, mentally. I still have challenges, I still have pain, but it is all much less and entirely manageable, I have bounced back and have never felt so spiritually powerful and centred.

After I shared my last Avebury post about this, some of you replied asking me if I’d be able to share this healing energy or help others tap into it somehow. I experimented and sent some distant healing with the Avebury energy and it has been well received.

So, here we are. I feel compelled to offer this healing energy alongside everything else I do, you can experience it as a healing treatment, trauma banisher, empowering energy or epiphany bringer and who knows what other benefits it will bring!

You can book yourself in and try this for yourself as a distant healing treatment. You’ll find it under Distant Healing Treatments on my Book Now page with the title Avebury Crystal Healing.

I’ll be fascinated to hear how this changes things up for you if you decide to try it. I am astounded and most grateful for what it is doing for me personally.

Until next time…
More power to you and much love xxx

Energy Report – Full Moon in Scorpio AND Lunar Eclipse

May 5th 2023

 Full Moon in Scorpio 18:34 UT

Lunar Eclipse 17:22 UT

Brace yourself.

Full Moon in Scorpio arriving on 5th May, at the same time as a lunar eclipse …AND Mercury is still retrograde? Eek.

It will be an intense Full Moon, expect the unexpected and big drama for a day or two before and after. You may already feel more emotional or irritable! This combo of energies may also bring some nasty surprises, especially irrational behaviour from people you wouldn’t expect it from. Knowing in advance will take the sting out of the scorpion’s tail, you have been warned!

I tend to look at it like this… It’s all just cosmic energy loosening up what needs to move and flow. If our attention needs to be dramatically drawn to a problem that needs action, then this is that time.

Opposing forces are going to be amplified, such as struggles with a healthy work/life balance or what you need versus what you want and desire. Prepare to avoid tension and to ignore external pressures, as these are more likely than usual to create conflict and crises that drain your energy.

Again, forewarned is forearmed!

A subconscious need for change and stimulation may be dragged to the fore… this could cause you to act recklessly. But this is not the right time for significant changes in direction or lifestyle. Don’t rebel if your desire for something new or exciting is blocked, it will only be you that suffers. This is a time for waiting and preparing, so be patient with yourself.

We need to be ultra patient, flexible and adaptable in response to unexpected events and sudden changes too.

Now the good aspects and questions to ask ourselves!

Our emotions and instincts become heightened at every full moon, so we can use our emotional strength and intuition to overcome these challenges.

This is a good time for meditation on honest and balanced insight into our important personal relationships, intuitively revealing any previously unseen dynamics or negative feelings causing disharmony.

Are my relationships a two way street of reciprocation?

Am I giving too much?

Am I chasing communication?

We will be feeling a strong need for independence which contradicts our need for emotional support, but we must do the independent things and be self reliant anyway.

Lunar Eclipse Visibility

The Lunar Eclipse will only be slightly more potent than a regular Full Moon because it is a subtle penumbral lunar eclipse.

This is a penumbral lunar eclipse where only a faint shadow occurs on one edge of the Moon, way more subtle than most eclipses and is often mistaken for a regular Full Moon.

The eclipse will happen on May 5-6 depending on where you are in the world. It’s visible from Eastern Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Antarctica and Indonesia.

For me, this is the perfect window of time for some chakra cleansing and balancing, I may also have some availability 24 hours before and on full moon here for you.

Energy Report – New Moon in Aries

New Moon in Aries
20th April
05:12 am UT/GMT
PLUS Solar Eclipse 07:59am

We’re experiencing a rare second New Moon and solar eclipse in Aries tonight 19th/tomorrow on April 20 depending on your time zone.

(The solar eclipse happens at 07.59am UK time on 20th.)

This is just a month after the last New Moon in Aries on March 21. We truly have a window of opportunity to make progress towards whatever we wish to manifest for the better, or just harnessing this life force enhancing energy to better go with the flow, living more presently in the moment with nature’s cycles and seasons.

Aries is a fire sign, so this window of time gives us the opportunity to tap into the fire element empowerment… greater strength, courage, passion, and determination. Fire can lead to anger and being too impulsive or ego-driven if we don’t check ourselves, so we have to be incredibly self aware and hold ourselves accountable!

We may feel the Aries energy pushing us to stand up for ourselves, leap into the new, and find the confidence to stride through new doors that are opening for us.

We are currently in eclipse season, which means if you’ve had a long-term goal in mind, more and more doors of opportunity are coming. You have the opportunity to witness your dreams come to life. Writing our achievable hopes down and keeping them somewhere visible to “feed” the intention is really helpful. Decorate the paper with doodles or create sigils to power up your intentions, place a drop or two of jasmine essential oil on the paper to draw in and acknowledge the moon energy window of creativity and power.

The supercharged energy behind this Eclipse also comes at a time of year approaching Beltane, May 1st where the veil between worlds is as thin as it is at Samhain. We sense everything more deeply at this time, we experience naturally increased sensitivity, creativity, and intuition. With Aries energy also so upfront we need to be mindful of impulsive words, actions, and allowing emotional sensitivity to override rational reactions to challenges we may experience. Before the red mist descends and takes hold, take a deep breath, centre yourself. Of course, if the Aries fire is required to lovingly assert yourself in a situation where your power is being taken, channel it into finding the right words to empower yourself.

Questions to ponder…

  • Am I trusting my intuition enough?
  • Am I allowing myself to feel my emotions honestly?
  • Is my reaction commensurate to the situation I find myself in?
  • How am I working towards what I truly want?
  • What DO I want? (Sometimes it is easier to first establish a baseline of what you do not want, or will not allow to continue)
  • Am I on track to achieve changes I’ve been dreaming of? Do I need to adjust my approach and actions here?
  • Am I being fair to myself and others?
  • Where can I show better understanding and empathy toward myself and others?

Make the most of these energies!

 

I have a few appointments for some distant healing with this amazing energy, if you feel inclined, book yourself in here…

Until next time….

love and bright blessings

Energy Report – Full Moon in Libra

Full Moon in Libra
6th April
10:04 am GMT/UT

Prepare for illumination of all kinds!
Spiritually minded people will be feeling super powered up, with a heightened sense of awareness, feeling very plugged in and connected in all good ways. We will be experiencing enhanced psychic ability, maybe even a little “hello from heaven” sign or two from our loved ones on the other side! Remind yourself you are safe in being this kind of powerful! This all lovely energy to embrace.
Be prepared for some hidden truths to come to light, secrets to be revealed and most likely villains and their dirty tricks being exposed! Especially those who wield power in self serving ways with less than good intentions. Come-uppance for those who deserve to be exposed. As we have just seen, a certain ex president of the USA just got arrested!
Libra is all about freedom and truth. When we truly set the intention to live by authenticity and integrity we will feel particularly well aligned with the Universe on this full moon. There is a strong tendency too for “what goes around comes around” to happen, and this full moon has other planetary alignments going on which may leave us surprised, maybe even shocked at what is revealed to us about the actions of those who deliberately try to deceive! Be prepared for your jaw to drop. The tea will be spilled!
Points to ponder today:
Do I like and approve of who I am?
Have I embraced my shadowy traits and changed what I have the power to change?
How truthful am I in all I do?
What do I need to do to align myself with who I wish to be?
How may I be of service to those who have been disempowered by devious people or powers?
May I welcome any signs and “hellos from Heaven” from my beloved ones in spirit today.

Today is also a Wishing Moon, one of 8 powerful times to manifest and dream big each year! If you haven’t downloaded my Wishing Moon Ceremony manual yet, you’ll receive a list of other Wishing Moon dates too with all you need to harness and amplify these energies.

New Moon in Aries – Energy Report

New Moon

New Moon in Aries

21st March 17:23 UT/GMT

This new moon is giving us a magnificent kick in the pants, bringing us right out of winter hibernation!

Motivation and rebirth, renewal and forward motion is truly ours IF we choose to harness it. What we choose to do now determines the outcome.

Aries, as we know is fiery, feisty, passionate energy that waits for no one so this is no time for procrastination – it is time to trust your gut and say YES to all things (even some surprises) that help you to be your truest self and lead you where you wish to be. Choosing to remain stuck out of fears or “what ifs?” will not work for you today.

Questions to ask and ponder today:
Expect the unexpected, can I flow with surprises?

Do I allow myself to express my passions in life?

What scares me about saying yes to things I’d love to do?

Do I know it is safe to be powerful?

Do I have the courage to start something new?
What can I initiate today that will help me to grow?

See what comes to you! And most importantly, take action, no matter how small.
