We also look at the role of both personal and generational planets—from Mercury and Venus through to Pluto—and how their movements reflect shifts happening within individuals and across society.A central focus of the episode is the journey of Venus and its symbolic connection to the divine feminine, alongside reflections on current planetary alignments and what they may signify in this time of change. Themes of societal transformation, the unraveling of outdated belief systems, and the growing importance of personal sovereignty weave throughout the discussion.We close with an invitation for listeners to cultivate discernment in an era of information overload—encouraging curiosity, self-education, and direct observation as tools for forming grounded, independent perspectives.

Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in sidereal Leo with the South Node of the moon at 29º Leo. Karma Karma Karma! Today's podcast episode is an overview of the energy going into Eclipse Season over the Autumn Equinox and what this Lunar Eclipse means for you and us all.This is an extract from our online moon circle gathering which you can join in for yourself on YouTube here.

This current new moon cycle began on the Super New Moon in Leo and will come to fruition on the Super Full Blue Moon in Aquarius on August 31. This whole moon cycle has potential for you to work with some serious gravity from the 'super-ness' of the moon (meaning it is closer to earth) and the superstitious magic of the second full moon in a calendar month. Keep revisiting your intentions and action plans until August 31 to make sure you're making the most of this manifesting portal! (We use Sidereal / Real Sky Astrology)

This weeks Moon Diaries talks about slowing down as we align with the Dark of the Moon as the days get shorter this week. The Winter Solstice and Sabbat of Yule will occur right on the light of the new moon and the Venus Gateway of the Crown Chakra. These are major universal synchronicities and shouldn't be taken for granted! We discuss the grand architecture of rebirthing during this time and why it's so important to slow down, and stop right now to deeply contemplate all that has transpired since the Spring Equinox in September 2022. Join us June 19 Monday evening 7:45pm AEST for our Online New Moon Circle, June 21 Wednesday at 2pm for the Online Venus Gates on the Crown Chakra and June 21 Wednesday 6.30pm in Samford Valley or Online for The Home Witch School Winter Solstice + Yule Gathering.

Antares is one of the Four Royal Stars and is at the heart of the Scorpio constellation. In Real Sky Astrology we have just experienced the full moon moving across this star creating a deep and profound sense of uprising of truth. This moon cycle we have been working with the Fixed Grand Square activating an uprising of the feminine... as we continue through the current cycle we are asking the questions - if you had to go to war, could you do it in a way that was true to you and in your feminine essence? This episode is followed with a much deeper exploration of Antares, Scorpio and the very important questions to ask yourself right now.. where are you being distracted in your life, where are you avoiding stillness and presence and can you find the essence of your truth ~ (see next video). Enjoy and many moon blessings lovely folk xx

This point of the cycle - between Samhain and the Winter Solstice (currently in the Southern Hemisphere) is the darkest part of the year. The winter solstice is the shortest day and longest night (June 21 - 22) and from that point the light begins to return as we journey back to spring. So these few weeks leading up to the solstice after the sabbath of Samhain and the witches new year, is the season to embrace the dark, to witness the endings and to allow the decay and compost of all that has ended. If we look to nature we see this naturally happening... the leaves are falling from the trees, the mulching of the organic matter breaks down and the nutrients are being repurposed as fertile black earth in readiness for the planting of the seeds for spring. In this episode we are discussing how this process is just as essential for the human psyche, as it is for nature. What has come to an end? What can you let go and fall from you and what is old and decaying, ready to be transmuted for a new fresh beginning. Can you give yourself this time to sit in the dark, and let the change take place, much like a caterpillar going into cocoon and emerging as a butterfly?

This episode is an extract from our New Moon Hybrid Solar Eclipse circle. It is a fascinating discussion about the spiritual meaning of a hybrid solar eclipse, the science behind this solar and lunar event, it’s placement in the Cetus Constellation (The Sea Monster / Whale) and how to work as an initiate within these eclipse energies between now, the Venus Gate on the Throat Chakra Gateway on Sunday, and the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in May. So much magic. Enjoy xx

WEEKLY THEMES This week we are in the last quarter of the moon leading up to the dark of the moon over the weekend and the new moon with a partial solar eclipse next Tuesday. This week is the time for recognising where in your life you have received abundance this moon cycle and what small gestures you can offer to your friends, family or community in the essence of giving back in gratitude for anything you have received. It might be that you have an abundance of time, or parsley from your garden, or mulberries, perhaps it was a financially prosperous moon cycle for you and you can make a small donation to a local charity. Perhaps you have an abundance of subscribers this month and you can offer them something complimentary, with no hook or exchange in return. TUNE IN to this weeks report to hear the daily aspects including the tantric numerology for each day.

If your moon is in Cancer, Leo or Virgo you are having a moon birthday this week! WEEKLY THEMES This week the moon is moving through its final phase heading towards the dark of the moon on the weekend, the final phase before the new moon cycle. We are in the energy of gratitude and giving back. We are also still in a 6 planet retrograde so there is the presence of reviewing & reflecting on major life themes. Everything is building towards the Spring Equinox on Friday! So time to do a spring cleanse / detox and get on with spring cleaning! DAILY ASPECTS Monday - Moon Day (Moon in Cancer) 19/9 The beautiful watery moon energy allows you to feel at home, in your home and starting the spring cleanse today so your energy is vibrant and clear for the manifestation portal on Friday and in preparation for Spring. Tuesday - Mars Day (Moon in Cancer) 20/9 Utilise the mars energy of the day to tackle the closets or spaces you've been avoiding clearing out for years. It's a fire / water day so keep things in balance so you don't accidentally put the fire out with too many watery emotions. Wednesday - Mercury Day (Moon in Leo) 21/9 A good day to remember we are still in Mercury retrograde so be mindful to be careful with communication of ideas, facts, emotions or things you're processing. The moon energy lifts with the shift to Leo. Thursday - Jupiter Day (Moon in Leo) 22/9 Today is a beautiful expansive day with the moon in Leo. Time to stop the seriousness of life and go dancing or out to have fun . Friday - Venus Day (Moon in Virgo) 23/9 Today is the Spring Equinox and time for rituals and meditations on prosperity and what you would like to seed for this new season. A beautiful time to gather with people, however if you are unable to, find some time to do a lovely little intention setting ritual for yourself. The energy is cosmically ignited with the Spring Equinox, the Sun changing signs into Libra PLUS a Mercury Cazimi where the Sun and Mercury are both at 0,0 degrees. This aspecting is being referred to as The heart of the Sun and the most beautiful opportunity for your prayers and desires to be amplified during this time. Make the most of this beautiful opportunity. Saturday - Saturn Day (Moon in Virgo) 24/9 Today is the first day of the dark of the moon and a good day to put plenty of space around your self to bask in the afterglow of the Spring Equinox. You don't want to have to "do anything you don't want to do" today. There has the potential for some very mystical and magical energies today. Sunday - Sun Day (Moon in Virgo) 25/9 Today is the second day of the dark of the moon and you have the potential to be wiped out and land a spiritual hangover so again, keep things close to home or out in nature, wherever your soul is calling to be today. Our New Moon Circle will be on Tuesday September 27 - join us here to call in the New Cycle of the New Season! Many moon blessings, moon beings!
