Super New Moon in Leo with a Partial Solar Eclipse and Private Reading Special

Here we go, are you ready for the 3rd Eclipse in 4 weeks? As so many of you have been asking for private readings, especially with all this deliciously, delightful chaotic energy abounding I felt strongly moved to make this available and to take 20% off in honour of this time. This Eclipse Special is available from today (the 10th of August until 20th). For more information you can find and book your particular reading on the Private Reading page. Now onto what is happening with this eclipse.

This partial solar eclipse happens on a Super New Moon on Saturday August 11th. Remember that we have talked about how eclipses bring up the hidden and there is an energy of transformation and change? Thus, if you had any doubt that the Universe is inviting you to transform, change, step up authentically and with courage – kick that doubt to the curb! As my old Auntie would say – you can’t afford the luxury of disbelief.

Pretending it’s not happening, sticking your head in the sand or wanting to hide out for the next few months will not serve you. Whether you like it or not – Life is going to find you and invite you to come play in the dance of change.

Eclipses bring things to an end and open the door to something new beginning (which can be very exciting, but also terrifying, especially if it is something that you weren’t expecting!) Here’s a great analogy by Susan Millar:- “During an eclipse period, it is as though you will walk over a rickety old bridge. As you walk across this bridge, over a very deep, rugged, treacherous ravine, you may be a little nervous. Once you make it to the other side, the bridge will collapse and you will see the pieces fall far into the deep, perhaps making you jittery. The bridge snaps just as you get to safe ground, but you realize, first, that you could have been on that bridge when it fell (but you weren’t), and more importantly, you will never again be able to walk back over to the other side. Once we go through an eclipse, we can never go back to the former situation again, for the universe wants us to make progress, not go back to good old days. That option is taken away, forever. The only way with an eclipse is forward. If you find later you don’t like where you wind up, you can always have the option to make changes up ahead, but again, they must be future choices, not ones that bring you back to the past.”

So are you getting the message?

The job of an eclipse is to shine a glaring ray of truth to the part of your life that is being touched, and truth will likely arrive in a startling way. Eclipses are brilliant illuminators, revealing a truth about a condition that you never in a million years knew existed. Once you are given the information, the news can act as a catalyst to a major decision or action you will take. Most often we are shocked or surprised by the information that comes to us, for the eclipse is one of the most dramatic tools the universe uses to get you to sit up, pay attention, and take action. Eclipses are always your friends, for they are there to help to protect you. Always be grateful for truth.

This eclipse happens on a New Moon in Leo and on a numerological level it is pretty key. Let me explain what all that means. First, Leo is governed by the sun and the energy is hot, fiery and passionate and all about having the courage to really step forward and into something different with intention and authenticity. And if we look around at Mother Nature she is showing us this in various ways. The whole of Southern Europe is in a massive heat wave, experiencing temperatures that are brutal. Here in my little neck of the woods (literally) we have had heat warnings due to how hot it is and the sky is thick with the smoke of forest fires galore. Now, I don’t know about you, but when it’s this hot I find it very challenging to want to do anything other than curl up in a dark cold room. But this is where intention, passion and working with the fire within you and the courage to take a step comes into play.

As Kari Samuels shares with us:- “This Supermoon eclipse is teaching you to let go of anything getting in the way of you expressing your authentic nature, so you can fully step into your power! It’s happening on the 11th day this month, in an 11 Universal Year (2+0+1+8 = 11).

11 is the number of Illumination

This season of eclipses has brought you many revelations, making you fully aware that you deserve better!

You’ve been receiving many divine downloads about what you can no longer tolerate, and what you need to do to change your life.

Summon up the courage of the lion to believe in yourself so you can make the changes you need to manifest your heart’s desires.”

This is a glorious opportunity and time for change, growth and expansion even with the discomfort and challenges we may have also encountered. As Lena Stevens shares with us:-

“The theme of this new moon is “new directions”. With new insights, hard lessons and a creative outlook, you can use this New Moon to consider a new direction in some area of life.

Take some time to ask these questions: “What am I completing? What do I need to complete? What truth is allowing me to shift priorities? What truth is supporting me to cut something loose? How is this making space for a new direction? How can I support my creativity to take advantage of the opportunity?

This eclipse (as the last two were also) is surrounded by intensity, unpredictability and irritability. Be assertive about your truth and your new direction without being reactive to any judgments or negativity from others. This is your time. Celebrate it by honoring the sun’s energy, your own will, creativity, and ability to manifest a new direction for yourself.”

So an invitation for you on this glorious New Moon Eclipse.

Take some time to write down your New Moon wishes. Sit out in the garden, by the water – where ever feeds your soul and write up to 10 wishes for YOU (not someone else) that you would like to create with this powerful energy of change and transformation. Okay?

Then plant them. Literally dig a little hole where ever you are and pop them in the ground, or send them out to sea with big blessings and releasing time lines and the form that they are to come to you in. This is a gorgeous practice and if you have a tough time writing what you would really like, write what you don’t want and then flip the verbiage.

And remember that there is something incredible waiting for you on the precipice of your destiny. It’s all there within arms reach, are you willing to be bold enough to reach for it and move through change and transformation? Also, do take advantage of the Eclipse Reading Special to help you attain courage, move with grace and ease through change and transformation and really manifest what your soul desires. Enjoy!

First Monday of August, the Energy has Shifted and another Eclipse on the Way!

Jenny Heston · 6:00 am ·

Happy Magnificent, Magickal Marvelous First Monday of August! Here in BC it is a lovely Civic Holiday so a day when lots of people have been enjoying a delicious, lovely long hawt, hawt weekend. I personally spent yesterday going up and down a ladder 256 times in the day in 40C weather, (have to say my left arse cheek was exceptionally sore by the end of it all lol). Why? I spent yesterday putting up rafters and huge sheets of plywood on the roof of the large workshop/shed I’ve been building as I want it finished! (I get a tad myopic on projects some times).

So at the beginning of the month we always talk about the “energy” of the month, why? The energy of the month is what flows and weaves through each day, then layered on top of that or woven into it are the energies of the seasons, the celebrations, the eclipses and of course the New and Full Moon.

If you remember, July was all about “Mature Responsibility in Unpredictable Times”, June was about “Discipline and Follow Through”. Well August is all about “Creative Pragmatism” what does that mean?

As Lena shares – “August is a complex month supporting you to think outside the box. We have an opportunity for new creative insights, help from unexpected sources, and a new determination to step forward and show up with choices that are mature and practical. Your experience this month will be much more positive if you keep your eyes on your own goals, stay in your own lane, and don’t get distracted by the accidents and drama you may see around you on the side of the road. The questions to ask yourself over and over again this month are, “Is it creative enough, or is it the same old way of thinking?” “Is it practical and grounded?” “Am I staying in my own lane, or am I getting sucked into a drama that is not mine?” “Am I keeping good boundaries? To read more, please check out Lena she is amazing!

So the questions she poses are fabulous questions to ask yourself!

Floating over this monthly energy is the upcoming Partial Solar Eclipse on Saturday August 11th, this is the 3rd one in a month! (How are you doing with it all?) Remember, that eclipse time is about bringing things to light and we have had a lot brought to light, however, with it being a solar eclipse this is more internal, this is deep and waiting to be brought out to the light. Please remember with 3 eclipses in a row “Ready or not, the winds of change are blowing. Eclipses bring the unexpected, forcing us into action. Repeat after me: Change can be a good thing.”

So a note here – for those who are part of our amazing community there will be an email coming out to you on Friday with great information on how to really harness and relax into this big energy shift (oh yes and stay relatively sane lol). Also, as so many of you have asked for readings with all this “stuff” swirling around and you want to gain more clarity and direction, I want to make this easy and accessible for everyone. Thus, as an offering and an appreciation, from 10th of August to the 24th of August I will be offering 20% off a personal reading, but you will hear about that on Friday. Yes?

Okay, so let’s crack on with the reading. I took the time to sit outside today to write and do the reading and it was gorgeous. The sun was shining, the plethora of sunflowers that the birds seeded, were all bobbing their glorious heads and tracking the sun. I had a huge crow and her two large babies come and land on my table and cock their heads and watch me for a few minutes and the humming birds and bees buzzed around frantically through the various flowers gathering the pollen. It was positively the most perfect place to be at that moment in time.

When I asked the cards and crystals who wanted to come out and shine brightly I laughed with delight when The Divine Circus Oracle sauntered her way out of the decks, strutting her stuff and giggling. Of course, in this eclipse energy and the Fire energy of Early Summer life becomes a Circus. If you have never encountered this gorgeous deck, please, let me introduce you. “This deck is for those who find it hard to follow rules, conform, bend to authority and generally do what they are told. May your rebel heart always be bold. May your spirit always be free. May you remember to live the Divine Circus and have fun doing things the way you aren’t supposed to, whilst living your most creative and unique divine destiny. “

Then it was fascinating to watch which crystals stepped up and for the first time EVER all three are Amethyst, all in different forms. Hmmm. Why? Amethyst is a wonderful crystal of protection, prosperity and for helping you manage your emotions so that you can take right action. Well that actually sounds perfect! There is also a glorious Selenite wand for amplification. Oh yes! And the flowers, there was a bit of a conversation going on between the flowers and the herbs, so they reached a compromise. Hummingbird flowers came to join along with lemon balm (which has been eaten, nom!)

I also crafted a fun guided visualisation based on sunflowers (which make me smile), if you feel so inclined, to help you really get rooted and reach for the sun. If that doesn’t resonate for you just breathe into your body, give everything a wiggle and slow your breath down and invite your trusted wise self to have a moment to surface and ask what it is you need to know.

So are you ready?

Shall we go have a little peak?

JOKER IS WILD

The Universe has a sense of humour, but never at your expense. It is laughing with you, not t you. You’ll see this for yourself as the Joker weaves her magic in your life, bringing you the grace that is beyond all reason, the necessary ingredient to ensure you win with the hand you have been dealt by life. There’s nothing impossible when the Joker appears. Her wild ways can transform a losing streak into a lifelong love affair with lady Luck.

Strap yourself in and prepare for the ride of a lifetime. The Joker has come to you and the Joker is wild. Unpredictable and brilliant, she brings you a message. You are being empowered to overcome all odds. So you are going to win. No doubts, no dramas, but not necessarily in a way that you expect either! She is sending the best possible situation to you even now. It might startle you, like a sudden light in the middle of the night, but it will be welcome nonetheless.

You probably won’t see it coming. It will probably be in a way that subverts everything you once believed to be true. But it will be a welcome trick by the Universe, a loving joke that opens your heart and helps you realise that this vast impersonal universe personally knows and cares for you, so intimately and with such meticulous care. Just don’t expect to feel in control of the process, for the Joker is wild and moves according to her own genius, but always blesses you with what will work best, beyond compare, now and always.

RED COUNTESS

Deep within, you know what is true and what to do (or not do). Yet there is so much noise and distraction in the world, and even at times in our own minds, that listening for our inner wisdom can seem like trying to hear gentle birdsong in the midst of a rock concert. Even so, you are hearing an inner truth, and deep down, you know it. Can you trust that it is safe to not only hear your inner voice but act on it too?

There is something that you know. You’ve felt, sensed, heard or realised this truth more than once. Even if others see or feel differently, you just know what you know, even if you don’t quite know how you know it!

Give your truths value. Hold your feelings and insights in high enough esteem to pay attention to them, to give yourself time to process what you think, feel and sense. Know that they’re worth acting on, even if that action just means to trust more and stop worrying. If you cannot figure out what your inner truths are, or you feel confused by conflicting thoughts and feelings, torn between head and heart, then you are in a state of information overload. You need to switch off, discharge some excess mental and emotional energy and take a break. Give yourself some time out from the crazy noise and constant distractions of the world so you can get in touch with what is true for you.

WHITE DUCHESS

Don’t look to what has been to find your destiny. Your future is bright and blessed. If the pain of the past feels a little too close for comfort, White Duchess steps in to help you leave behind the emotional storms of your past and move into her protection. A time of transition is upon you and soon your feet shall settle upon sacred ground, and calm shall prevail, inside and out.

Are you one of the many suffering in a dark and stormy inner world of post-traumatic stress? Do you believe that because there have been struggles in your past, and perhaps at times even great pain, that this is how your future shall be too? Or perhaps you have been striving towards a dream and it seems so long since you began that you are losing hope of ever breaking through into successful fulfilment and a new life.

Don’t look back. Let the past be put to rest. Whatever has haunted your dreams, whatever has caused turmoil is over. It is not needed anymore. There is a future destiny calling to you now. It is time to transition through into a new world, into your new life. Trust her and believe in the positive power of your future.

Have I said I love the cards? So let me see – as we move into the energy of “Creative Pragmatism” and another eclipse the Joker is Wild surfaces inviting you to trust, release control and allow what happens to happen (as it is for your highest good). Then we have the Red Countess – who is inviting you to play with this solar eclipse energy and allow what is hidden deep down, that you know to come to life. The White Duchess – is inviting you to release the known and the struggle and to trust in change. Remember we just talked “Ready or not, the winds of change are blowing. Eclipses bring the unexpected, forcing us into action. Change can be a good thing.”

So I do feel compelled that I should clear something up. A while ago I had a reader email me asking “if I sifted through a deck, picked the cards I thought might work and then wrote to the cards, subbing in what needed to to make it all aligned.” Good question, however, to be honest I was appalled and gob smacked!

That would never even occur to me to do. So I shared with this lovely humanoid my process – I start writing the preface whilst surrounded by all of my decks and crystals and then decks and crystals make themselves known. I then smudge everything, get very grounded – open myself up to Spirit and become a conduit and the reading happens. The reason I share this story, is please don’t ever doubt yourself, your gifts or the messages (however they come to you). With this glorious sun energy, fire energy (remember that is about Passion) and all the rest of it. Step up, don’t doubt and shine gorgeous one. Shine. Huge hugs and squeezes and see you next Monday or earlier if you are signed up to receive emails. Have a fabulous week!

The Eclipse is Past and Lammas is coming!

Jenny Heston · 2:25 pm ·

Happy Magnificent, Magickal Monday! How are you feeling with the Full Lunar Eclipse just having happened? Remember this energy isn’t just for that one day, it will be burbling along for a couple of months (yes, I did say months). So remember to continually come back to your intention and to watch where your thoughts go. If you find your mind wandering down the dark alleyway of fear and limiting beliefs, entice it back out into the open with a cooling ice cream! Yes?

We have had unrelenting heat for the last 2 months and I have to admit it is getting a bit wearing. Don’t get me wrong, I love the sun, but when it’s 100F day in, day out it makes it draining to do things out doors (and that makes me grumbly and grumply lol). Although, yesterday I did spend 8 hours putting sheathing up on the workshop I’m building (which is looking like a tiny home) and figuring out the roof pitch and rafter cuts, so that was quite satisfying. However, with the heat I was a puddle of a person with gobs of sawdust stuck all over me, so a cooling shower and an iced glass of lemonade was quite refreshing.

August is rapidly approaching which means on Wednesday we get to welcome in and celebrate Lammas! Whoot! Whoot! (Note I said Lammas and not Llamas, although if you feel inclined to celebrate Llamas go for it). Lammas is the first Harvest Festival of the year, it is a time of awareness that the strength of the Sun (Lugh) is beginning to wane and there is a shift and change afoot. Active growth is slowing down and the darker days of winter and reflection are gently and slowly raising their heads. I love Lammas as it’s such a glorious celebration of food, first harvest and gathering. If you have no clue what I am talking about and what to find out more and learn an easy abundance charm for this time, I have you covered here.

Now enough chuntering from me, let’s crack on with the reading. With the Eclipse just past and all of us in this time of transformation and change, it was no surprise to see that the Oracle of Shadows and Light were adamant to come out to play. Now, if you have never encountered these gorgeous, quirky guides before let me share with you. These lovely guides ask you to step out from the shadows, to no longer hide your light away, and to consult with an oracle that acknowledges your individuality and strange genius!

The crystals that chose to join us are:- Black Moonstone, Shadow Quartz and Mystic Merlinite.

So let’s get comfie in our bodies and present. Take some nice deep breaths, slowly in through your nose and exhale out through your mouth. Bring to the forefront of your being any question that you would like support with, whether it is pertaining to yourself, a situation, a dream or a desire. Then breathe into it for a few more breaths and then pick the card or cards that resonate for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look shall we?

A CLOCKWORK PUMPKIN

Notice the bright bulb inside this Clockwork Pumpkin – you are about to have an amazing moment, a brilliant insight, and a very illuminating idea! Action must be taken immediately, while the idea is fresh and new. No more procrastination – follow the ah moment with action, and watch amazing change in the form of abundance, creativity, and satisfaction take place in your life!

I may look a strange muse, a clockwork pumpkin accompanied by a beautiful girl, but have no doubt: I am the new idea, the epiphany, the moment of clarity when the seeming chaos of life suddenly rearranges itself into a brilliant opportunity. You are about to be presented with such a golden idea that I want you to be ready. It may come from within you, or it may come from outside of you, but you have drawn it to you with the power of attraction and manifestation, and it is an idea that will bring you great riches of the body, mind and spirit. It is time to activate your own brilliant abilities and become the abundant, enriched being you were born to be!

We are so pleased to have found you – we have waited for exactly the right being to take on this idea and bring it to life within the world. It has evolved out of time, out of space, and is perfect for you. It may be a song, a project, a new job, a relationship – its form is fluid, but its time is now, and you are the person chosen to bring it through. Cosmic duty it may be, but joy and love it will bring, as well as abundance and true happiness!

LADY WITH A BOSCH EGG

The Lady with the Bosch Egg is the one in this lifetime who has been chosen to keep safe, and sometimes keep secret, deep esoteric knowledge. Through history’s most troubled times, there have always been courageous beings ensuring that sacred knowledge was kept alive. Even though the world may burn, and disasters befall humanity, and wars take down cities, there will always be those brave souls who will take the knowledge, represented by the Bosch egg, camouflage it, and keep it safe so that at a later time, when the world is finally ready, we can all learn.

I hope you that you understand the history of the knowledge you crave, and respect and acknowledge the freedom of the times you now live in, and do the work yourself. It may be that at some time you too will find my egg and that you are the person chosen to speak of the knowledge others thought was lost. Or it may be that you too are a guardian of wisdom: if you are, know when to keep silent, know what to keep to yourself, and know that some secretes come to light at the right time. I bring you now the symbols of the alchemist, the secrets of the Gnostics, and the wisdom of the magicians and the witches and the herbalists….all saved for this time, in this strange form of egg.

It may feel to you that you are receiving wisdom from ancient sources and that some of its energy may feel unfamiliar to you, even dark. It is likely that you are receiving messages from times when people like you, misfits and mystics, were oppressed and punished for their natural gifts. Explore at this time something to do with the Renaissance, or medieval times, and understand that the knowledge was brought through to you, a very fortunate being living in very fortunate times. Learn all you can. Explore esoteric symbology, the history of magick, and spirituality.

CANDY CANE ANGEL

The Candy Cane Angel is in charge of letting you know when it is time for some little luxuries that will reconnect you with your self-love and self-worth. She, too, holds back from giving to herself, as she is such an earnest and industrious little angel – but her message is always clear; it is time for some fun!

As she says clearly to you “You know what my problem is? And you know what your problem is? No? Well, let me tell you. Our problem is that we both feel guilty about giving ourselves pleasure. See this little treat in my hands? It’s not bad, is it? It’s not evil, is it? But can I bring myself to just sit down and taste every moment of its sugary sweet delights? No. I have to wonder if it’s the right time. If I have done enough to earn this treat. To wonder why I should get this when so many do not have a single candy cane for their own selves! I torment myself with these things – and so do you!

How about we make a deal? Next time you ponder a gift to yourself: a massage, a treat, a spiritual workshop, a delicious meal, time to laugh with a friend, a long rest or nap, meditation time, a space clear…..know that when you energetically tell yourself “I am way too busy for that indulgence,” you are really saying, ‘I do not deserve that!’ Well, let’s decide that you do! I am about to have my treat. I now charge you with the same quest. Give yourself that which you have been denying yourself. You do deserve it!”

Do not rationalise or talk yourself out of it any longer. Step out of the consciousness of lack and into the consciousness of “I deserve,” and grant yourself this lovely moment of luxury. It’s time for some joie de vivre and enjoyment to restage a grand entrance into your life!

I love it! Action, Learning and Treating Yourself! So delicious lovely I wish for you a marvelous week, remember to take a moment on Wednesday (Lammas) and give yourself the gift of the Abundance Charm (it’s good fun to do). Remember too, if you still feel a little off kilter with the eclipse energy, that’s okay. Be gentle with yourself and keep bringing your focus back to your desires, not your fears. Have a wonderful week, drink water, laugh tons and take time daily just for you. Huge hugs and squeezes.

How to stay Sane and Manifest with this Full Moon Eclipse of the Blood Moon.

Jenny Heston · 4:30 pm ·

Well here we are on the eve of the Full Lunar Eclipse of a Blood Moon. How are you feeling? I have been feeling this energy for a few weeks now and it has just been ramping up since the partial solar eclipse of the New Moon a couple of weeks ago. “This total lunar eclipse intensifies the effects of the full moon in Aquarius with infinite power. While full moons aren’t uncommon and blood moons aren’t unbelievably rare, the fact that this will also be the longest lunar eclipse of the 21st century should prove its importance. Lasting a whopping 103 minutes it is the harbinger of one the most intense transformations we’ve undergone in the last 18 years. Because that’s just what a total lunar eclipse does. It brings significant change to our lives.”

So let me assure you if you have been feeling slightly unbalanced, emotional, confused, vulnerable or prone to flashing anger – you are not alone. Many of us have been feeling those things. Think about it – if the Moon has the energy and the power to cause huge bodies of water (oceans) to move, and the human body is 60% water, how can you not be affected?

All full moons naturally bring your shadow self out to play. All the thoughts and feelings tucked tightly away in your subconscious float to the surface, and everyone becomes more volatile, sensitive, and emotional. When a total lunar eclipse is a full moon multiplied by a million, tensions begin swarming our world long before it even begins and the energy ebbs away long after it’s over. This lunation doesn’t simply change your mind, it changes your entire world. With so many intense metamorphoses going on, who can blame you for being over the top?

Here is an analogy that may resonate with coffee drinkers lol. If a full moon is equal to a pot of coffee in the morning, then a full lunar eclipse is as if you have had 100 pots of coffee to drink. Making a tad more sense now? Throw in the fact that 5 planets are retrograde and Mercury (that delightful little demon of communication), went retrograde TODAY and we have a glorious cauldron of change, chaos, confusion, clarity, fear and a myriad of other emotions. INTENSE is a fabulous word to describe it. So what to do? (Hiding out in the closet is not a valid option, at least not for the whole day!)

The energy is all about transformation and change (whether you are ready or not). Instead of pushing back against this energy (especially out of fear), let’s use the lessons from that old TV show “Karate Kid” and use the energy of this time to help us with massive transformation and change that we desire. Who’s with me on that one? As this is a great time for transformation, expansion and huge clearing of some old deep emotional insecurities, patterning and wounding – let’s use that energy for good and not for wallowing.

So grab a piece of paper and if you feel inclined, write the responses to these questions down.

The first question to ask yourself is – “What do you truly want?” Now you can list off a new car, bigger house, a million dollars on your doorstep, Ryan Reynolds in your shower – and those are great, but shallow. So let me ask the question again – “What do you truly want?” How do you want to feel, where do you want to live, who is your tribe?

What are the the doubts, fears, anxieties, old patterning you need to face?

Are you willing to ask for help and support for your big dream?

Are you ready for things to be different?

What are you willing to release or give up in order to create what you truly want? Now this is a tricky one for most of us, so ponder that a moment.

Have you finished jotting those down?

Now please, some of those may have been challenging to write down, but the key thing is to focus on the positive, please, please, please don’t all of a sudden grow a long tail and turn into Eeyore and fall into judgement, despair, blame or negativity. The reason I say that is your thoughts and decisions can have far reaching effects.

Change can often feel tricky and scary, especially when we we aren’t the ones “in control” of it. Albeit change isn’t always easy, there are delicious pockets of understanding through the mayhem that allow you to see a brighter, shinier more aligned path. Reflect back if you will on “things” that may have happened in the past, job loss, divorce, relationships ending. Do you remember feeling at that very instant it might be the end of the world? Yet 9 times out of 10 after the lumps and bumps it unfolded into something better than you could have imagined? Remember that when you get fearful and want to “control” everything.

Okay, so now you have your answered questions yes? Burn em! Set them alight and offer them up! Let it all go, surrender and release. One of the key ways to work with this energy of the Full Moon Eclipse is by releasing negativity and replacing it with forgiveness. This is part of being a purposeful creator. Then take a moment and just think of yourself and others and who, what, where do you need to forgive? For example, were you short with your kids the other morning? Did a friend make a comment that hurt your feelings. It doesn’t matter what it is just list them in your head, say them outloud and when you are done – say I forgive and release for my highest good.

Then fill that gorgeous void you have just created with that process with gratitude, if necessary as Pam Grout says “Thank your sheets for being soft and yummy to sleep in.” List them, write them, say them outloud. Okay?

Then get the heck outside! If you are a crystal owner, or have things that are touchstones or sacred to you, put them outside under this glorious moonlight, including your body. Put some nice music on, move your body. Fill up mason jars with water, pop lids on them and let them sit out under the moonlight (but pop them in the fridge if you aren’t going to use them immediately).

If you are someone who likes to work with chants and they make you feel good. I highly recommend either of the following:-

Om Namo Narayanaya, which literally translates into “Acknowledging the Divine in everything.”

Or my favourite as I’m a big Ganesha fan:- Om Sri Maha Ganapataye Namah, which translates into “Salutations to Ganesha and calls on his power to remove obstacles to success.”

Full Lunar Eclipse on a Blood Moon! Change & Transformation is in the Air.

Jenny Heston · 12:00 pm ·

Happy delicious and delightful Monday gorgeous one! How has your week been?

I don’t know about you but it has been hawt, hawt, hawt here and so I have been emulating a reverse sun dial and moving from patch of shade to patch of shade lol. This has proved challenging at times as a while ago I decided that I really needed a large workshop/shed and so Wednesday found me in the baking hot sun framing up the walls! (What’s that saying about mad dogs and English men going out in the noon day sun?) Needless to say I felt rather crispy after 9 hours of building in the heat, but very satisfied that the framed walls were up. Then on Sunday I spent another 7 hours starting to put up the sheathing and figuring out the roof pitch and rafter cut lines. So slowly but surely this space will get completed over the next 10 days and then I can start filling it with all the lovely things that need to be kept safe and dry.

Remember the other week we talked about “eclipse season” and how eclipses bring up the hidden and there is an energy of transformation and change? So the partial solar eclipse in Cancer that happened on July 12th really set in motion quite a few cosmic revelations about your life and there was most certainly a nudging towards something different. With that being said, we are coming up to the second eclipse already (time just seems to fly). This is a full lunar eclipse of the Blood Moon in Aquarius, it’s also the longest lunar eclipse of the 21st Century as it lasts 103 minutes. I could write soooooo much about this eclipse, but then the reading would be like a small novella, so if you are part of the community and receive emails from me I will send something out near the end of the week to help you work through this energy. What you do need to pay attention to is the Blood Moon shoves us towards change and with this full moon and eclipse there is a real resetting of emotions, a clearing away of the emotional baggage of the previous 6 months. So if you are feeling the increased emotional energy, a sensation of something big is going to happen, or just a tad fragmented, remember to breathe, take a moment and just let the feelings flow through you. Okay? A quick and easy tool to use at this time is keeping a piece of Indigo Gabbro (aka Mystic Merlinite) with you, either in your pocket, stuff it into your bra – whatever works for you.

When I was asking the cards who wanted to come and offer support and guidance this week it was no surprise to me that a gorgeous deck I acquired a few weeks ago stood up front and centre. This glorious deck is “The Oracle of the Shapeshifters”. Let me share with you a little of how this deck works. “This deck is filled with mystic familiars for times of transformation and change. Fear corrupts and these guides are for anyone experiencing a transformation and who may be fearful of that change. Change is one way of staying very much alive – it’s necessary and healthy. True deep change must take place for you to fulfill your soul contract. If you are blocked in terms of change and fear it, you will perhaps have a tougher time changing. You may turn from possibility to what you have convinced yourself is probable: You diminish your possible self, reduce who you are, and dilute your spirit. For some, this is more comfortable than facing the fear of evolving actively. But even when we have diminished ourselves, sought to remain invisible and hidden away, and said yes to everyone else, life will find us – and transform us.”

Thus, it is no surprise with what is happening that these delightful guides have come out to support and guide. The crystals that came to join in with this reading are:- Bloodstone, Lepidolite with Mica and Sodalite, the nasturtium flowers, mint and lemon balm were adamant they got to participate as well, and then they gladly hopped into a salad! Nom, nom, nom.

I have created a lovely visualisation, if you so desire, to help you with this energy of transformation and change. We go on a little backpack trip, don’t worry you don’t need sturdy footwear. If that doesn’t resonate for you then just take a few moments to really breathe into all the corners of your body and allow the tension to puddle around your feet and seep away. When you feel ready, pick the card of cards that resonate for you and let’s go see shall we?

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a little look.

YOU ARE UNLIKE ANYONE ELSE

As caterpillars undergo metamorphosis, they turn to a sort of mush inside their cocoons. So too in your life everything seems to have lost direction and feels quite meaningless, but you will regroup, reform, and transform. A new world speaks of the necessary process you must undergo in order to create an important change. Developing new true friendships, repairing a damaged relationship, working on your skills in an area that does not come easy to you, making difficult choices about your integrity – all are addressed by the beings in this card, as they too have undergone the challenge of change. You will notice that on the card there are beings who are hybrid – the butterfly frogs – who are at once not quite one thing or another. This is how your changes can seem to others sometimes.

“Which are you?” they may ask. “This or that?” Many in life will want you to fit nicely into a category so they can easily label you and not undergo the difficult task of truly knowing who you are. You do not have to choose between things. Humans are often contradictory. Simply be true to you. Be a frog with wings! Be all of who are and experiment. Let others be puzzled. You have the courage to defy boxes, labels, and other easy ways of avoiding truly knowing people and the world.

There is no one like you. You have gone through a very difficult time, but you have passed the test and been reborn. You have done well to keep going, and now you can begin to see how worthwhile all the changes and sacrifices were. A new time begins now. You have successfully reinvented yourself by doing what is not always easy. There will be more enjoyment and fulfillment and less to worry about. You worried, didn’t you, about whether this time of goodness and hope would come? Well have no doubt. It is here!

WOLF MOON

A beautiful girl is seated beneath a perfect full moon, unable to sleep. She wraps her arms about the wolf, her companion. If you look closely, you’ll see she has a tattoo of a wolf’s footprint. She is one of the clan; she is different in form, though she is one of their own. The wolf is being held by the small girl – they are not the same, but they are kin, and one is changing, which requires courage and commitment, and flourishes best when protected. The girl may be about to turn, change form, or she may be holding one who is about to change. You are always in this process of transformation, and when you have a guardian, you will be supported through your shifts into many selves.

The lunar aspect of this card is protective; the moon’s fullness suggests a high tide of power, and this is traditionally the time of great change and metamorphosis. This is a time when the tender can cradle the fierce – and in which your true, wild self and instinctual knowledge can be heard and acted upon.

A clan brother or sister is watching over you while you change, so rest easy knowing how fiercely loved and loyally protected you are. While you change, you will be held and watched over by a guardian who will not let you down. You are in the moment of transformation. Your fears – that others will not understand who you really are when you show yourself and that you will be left vulnerable – are unfounded. Your greatest fear is that you may hurt others while you are changing so deeply. The coming full moon is significant for you: You are changing, and your true family will support you through this shift. This is a time for courage. When you approach this change with a brave heart, all will be well.

A TIME TO SAY GOODBYE

A time to say goodbye will help you to let go, even though it hurts a lot. This is now out of your hands; you have to say goodbye at this time. Be active in this ending when this card comes to you. Be brave; think about how you can best take care of yourself at this time, and show the other person how much you care. Don’t ignore or shun them. Rather, let this person know what they have meant to you, wish them well on the next stage of their life journey, and let….them…go! There may be great sadness id doing so, but you will grow so much because you have chosen the better way to deal with this sad situation. This other person has learned how to detach and stay detached. He asks that you do not ask for him to return, to stay, or to cling. Be strong because you need to be dignified, and believe that something better is coming. Because that is the truth. Something better is coming. So open your arms, and let him be free, as he has learned to be.

You may be reluctant to see an ending – you may wish to extend the time you have with someone, or you may even feel like you are being cheated out of something you deserve. But the truth is that things must die in order to be reborn in another form at a later time. This is the chosen time to go, and from the ashes, something new will arise, and it will be even better than you can imagine. Rebirth cannot take place without a death – and it is now time to end something, to let something both externally and internally die. It may be a long-held belief, a place that seemed to hold security, a friendship that has grown unhealthy, someone you’ve been going out with who no longer wishes to see you, or a beloved family member who may not be in this world much longer. Whatever it is, let it – let them – go! Something else will return to you. And you cannot be reborn unless you first know how to die. This is your chance to learn something very profound, deep, and important. Do not miss it by resisting what must take place.

Holy Hannah! As a friend of mine says “You can’t make this shit up!” The cards are positively perfect for this upcoming Lunar Eclipse, are you paying attention? So delicious one, remember to breathe, laugh a lot and be kind to yourself and others. Allow the fears, the thoughts and any confusion to just flow through you like a stream, don’t try and dam it up and tuck it away – that won’t serve you. Have a fabulous week and if you are part of this lovely community I will be sending you something later this week about the Lunar Eclipse. Huge hugs and squeezes! See you next week!
