The Buck Moon: Grow Wild, Take Up Space & Feed What Matters!

· ·

Gorgeous Soul,

Can you feel it? There is something growing in the dark.

The Buck Moon rises on Wednesday, July 29, carrying an energy of nourishment, strength, healthy boundaries and unapologetic expansion. She reaches her fullest at 7:35 a.m. here on the West Coast, so look for her glowing beautifully on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.

July’s full moon takes her name from the male deer—the buck—whose new antlers are growing rapidly at this time of year. What begins as something tender, covered in soft velvet, will eventually become strong enough to protect him, establish his place and carry him through the season ahead.

But those antlers cannot grow from nothing.

Their size and strength depend upon what is available to nourish the buck: rain, rich soil, abundant plants and a healthy habitat. If nourishment is scarce, growth is limited.

Nature, as she so often does, makes the lesson gloriously clear:

You cannot continually deprive yourself and still expect yourself to flourish.

You cannot run on crumbs—crumbs of rest, crumbs of affection, crumbs of joy, crumbs of time—and then wonder why you feel depleted. Nor can you pour all your energy into everybody else’s garden while your own quietly wilts in the corner.

The Buck Moon asks you to look honestly at what you are feeding.

Are you nourishing the dreams that make your whole being light up? Are you strengthening the relationships that strengthen you in return? Are you investing time, care and energy in your own gorgeous life—or are your needs forever being shuffled to the bottom of the list?

Because you are not an afterthought.

And taking up space does not mean pushing anyone else out of the way. It means no longer folding yourself into smaller and smaller shapes to make everyone around you comfortable. It means allowing your voice to be heard, your boundaries to be honoured and your gifts to be visible.

It means standing in your own patch of sunlight and saying:

I belong here too.

Growing Into Your Power

There is a lovely difference between forcing yourself to become someone else and allowing yourself to grow more fully into who you already are.

The buck does not spend the summer anxiously comparing his antlers with those of every other deer in the forest. He does not wake at three in the morning convinced that his rack should be bigger, more impressive or further along.

He eats. He rests. He moves through the forest. He trusts the ancient intelligence of his body and the rhythm of the season.

Meanwhile, we humans are often flapping about, attempting to bloom, harvest, heal, launch seventeen new projects and completely reinvent ourselves before lunchtime.

The Buck Moon reminds us that meaningful growth is not built through frantic striving. It is created through nourishment, attention and repeated small choices.

We grow into our power through practice, not perfection.

Every time you honour a boundary, you grow stronger.

Every time you choose what nourishes you rather than what merely distracts you, you grow clearer.

Every time you speak honestly, rest without apologising, learn something new or devote time to what genuinely matters, you strengthen the foundations of your future.

A meaningful life is not created all at once.

It is grown—one choice, one threshold and one season at a time.

What Are You Feeding?

Full moons illuminate. They bring things into view—including the things we have been cheerfully avoiding while hoping they might wander off by themselves.

This moon may reveal where your energy has become scattered. You might notice too many half-fed projects, obligations that no longer belong to you or relationships that continually consume your attention without offering anything nourishing in return.

This is not an invitation to judge yourself or begin hacking wildly at your life with an energetic machete.

It is an invitation to pause.

What matters most now?

What deserves more of your care?

What dream, relationship, skill or part of yourself is ready to be nourished properly?

And what smaller distractions can be released so that your deeper priorities have room to grow?

You do not need to do everything. In fact, trying to do everything is often the fastest route to accomplishing very little—except becoming impressively tired and slightly stabby.

Choose what matters. Feed it well. Give it time.

A Simple Buck Moon Ritual

On Tuesday or Wednesday evening, find a quiet place beneath the moon—or near a window where you can feel connected to her light.

You will need:

  • A candle
  • A small bowl of water
  • A leaf, sprig of rosemary or something gathered respectfully from nature
  • Your journal and a pen

Light your candle and place the bowl of water beside it. Hold your leaf or herb and take several slow breaths.

Imagine yourself standing in a summer forest. Beneath you is rich soil; around you, life is growing in every direction. You do not need to chase your strength. You are already rooted within it.

Ask yourself:

What within me is asking to be nourished?

Where am I ready to take up more space?

What boundary will protect what I am growing?

What distraction or obligation am I willing to release?

What would it look like to live more fully this season?

Write without overthinking or attempting to make your answers sound sensible. Let what is true come forward.

When you are finished, dip your fingers into the water and gently touch your forehead, heart and hands.

You might say:

May my thoughts nourish what matters.
May my heart remember what is true.
May my hands help create the life I am ready to live.

Place the leaf or herb somewhere meaningful for the next few days. When the ritual feels complete, return it to the earth with gratitude.

Want to Go a Little Deeper?

If the Buck Moon has illuminated something within you—and you want to explore it with pen, paper and perhaps a cuppa—I have created a collection of Buck Moon journal prompts for you.

They will help you explore nourishment, boundaries, taking up space and the glorious strength that is already growing within you.

Take your time with them. You do not need to answer everything at once. Choose the question that tugs at your sleeve, pour yourself something lovely and see what wants to be revealed.

And Lughnasadh Is Coming…

Just a few days after the Buck Moon, we reach Lughnasadh on August 1st—the first of the three traditional harvest celebrations on the Wheel of the Year.

It is a threshold of gratitude, abundance, sacrifice and harvest. A time to notice what has ripened, what our labour has created and what must be gathered before the season begins to turn.

But we will sink our hands deeply into that particular magick in a separate post later this week.

For now, let the Buck Moon show you what is still growing.

Let her illuminate the places where you have been surviving on crumbs. Let her remind you that nourishment is not selfish, boundaries are not punishment and taking up space is not something you need to earn.

Your life is growing around you.

Feed what matters.

Protect what is tender.

And allow yourself to become gloriously, visibly, unmistakably more of who you have always been.

FIFA, Football, Fans & the Full Moon… When the Final Whistle Signals Change.

· ·

Isn’t it fascinating how football can take over the whole world?

People who have never met suddenly become united by a colour, a chant, a flag, a team, a hope. Living rooms become stadiums. Snacks become sacred offerings.

Complete strangers hug in celebration, while others dramatically question every referee’s decision as though they themselves have been officiating the beautiful game for decades.

And honestly?

I love it.

Because underneath all the noise, the cheering, the collective holding of breath and the occasional theatrical dive (I’ll let you decide whether I’m talking about football or life), there is something beautifully human happening.

Everyone is waiting for that one moment when everything changes.

One pass.

One decision.

One goal.

One unexpected twist. In the blink of an eye, the entire game shifts.

Life isn’t all that different.

We make plans, settle into our routines and convince ourselves we know where we’re heading. Then, just like that, the whistle blows, the energy changes, and we’re invited to see the field from a completely different perspective.

Which feels wonderfully fitting as we come to the final reading of June.

Can you believe we’re already here?

June has been full of light, Summer Solstice fire, moments of celebration, unexpected lessons and, for many of us, quiet invitations to grow in ways we weren’t expecting. Now the Full Moon rises to cast her silver light across everything we’ve experienced, asking us to pause before we charge headlong into July.

Because that’s what Full Moons do so beautifully.

They illuminate.

They reveal.

They celebrate what has come to fruition while gently asking, “Is there anything you’re still carrying that no longer belongs in your story?“

Sometimes the answer arrives like a bolt of lightning.

Sometimes it arrives as a whisper.

And sometimes it simply settles into your heart with the quiet knowing that something has run its course.

That’s how this reading feels to me.

Not simply because it’s the last reading of June, but because it also marks the end of this chapter of our weekly readings.

If you’ve been journeying with me for a while, you’ll know how much I’ve loved these moments we’ve shared together. Sitting with the cards each week, listening to Spirit, laughing at how astonishingly accurate they can be, and watching so many of you find exactly the message you needed.

But life, much like football, isn’t meant to be played with the same formation forever.

Sometimes the coach changes the strategy.

Sometimes the players move into new positions.

And sometimes the biggest win comes because someone had the courage to trust that change was needed.

That’s where I find myself.

The work is calling me deeper.

There are new ideas quietly waiting in the wings, new ways of serving, teaching and creating that need space to breathe. Rather than continuing simply because it’s familiar, I’m choosing to honour what Spirit has been gently whispering for quite some time now.

It’s time.

Not an ending. An evolution.

So this week’s reading feels like a beautiful threshold.

It carries the excitement of football fans who know that one brilliant moment can change everything, and the ancient wisdom of the Full Moon, reminding us that every ending creates space for something new to be born.

Perhaps that’s your invitation too.

Where in your life are you still playing yesterday’s game?

Where have you outgrown the strategy that once served you so well?

And what might become possible if you trusted yourself enough to step into a new season?

So pour yourself a cuppa, settle into your favourite chair, and join me for this final reading of June.

Let’s honour everything this month has gifted us.

Let’s listen to what the Full Moon wants us to release.

And together, let’s stand on the threshold of July with open hearts, curious souls and the quiet excitement that perhaps the best chapters are still waiting to be written.

After all, Gorgeous Soul…

Sometimes the final whistle isn’t the end of the story. It’s simply the beginning of the next match.

Enough chuntering, let’s crack on with the reading.

Take a moment and pause, ask your wise inner self what is it you need to hear as we close out June. Take a breath and then when you are ready pick the card or cards that resonate.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look, shall we?

HEALING

Healing can take many forms, even just through listening – when we feel we’re being heard it can make us feel better, so people who have the ability to listen with love and without judgement are already healers.

Sometimes just being in the presence of someone who is receptive to our thoughts and feelings can help us to feel uplifted and healed.

Do you feel you are able and willing to give this healing?

Hands-on healing is a technique many feel drawn to, and perhaps this is something you, too, wish to explore.  Are you in need of healing yourself?  Is there something that you are pushing through “because it’s expected?”

It’s important to listen to your body, mind and soul and take time out so it can heal naturally.  Make sure you’re getting all of the correct vitamins and nutrients.  And remember sleep can also be an amazing healer.

Explore healing therapies that may be new to you, such as aromatherapy, flower essences, hands on healing, art therapy, colour therapy – whatever piques your interest.

Believe and trust that you have the capacity to heal yourself and others.  Explore and embrace that piece of yourself and allow it to flow.

HOPE

Hope is the key to the door that can lead you away from any predicament you are in.  

No matter how hopeless things may seem, if you look deep inside your heart your spiritual heart wisdom will reveal a glimmer of hope, and this can lead you to a brighter future.  

This gorgeous faery reminds us to always tap into hope, because looking for hope and joy and changing your beliefs can literally change your future.

As you can see on the card a rainbow and a dove of peace are shown and they often come together reminding us that anything is possible.  Sometimes we just need an extra boost, so the faeries fly in on the wings of a dove to let us know that they’re with you with any difficulties you are experiencing.

Remaining hopeful while those around you are full of doubt and negativity can be extra challenging, but remember that hope comes from deep within our hearts and is an excellent habit to cultivate.

Heart wisdom and hope will see you through whatever is going on for you and those around you right now, so have courage and trust as the Faery of Hope walks hand in hand with peace and miracles.

NATURE’S SIGNS

The faeries love to leave hints and clues for us in nature. It’s one of the many creative ways in which they initiate communication with us.  

For example, faeries often leave feathers or release floating dandelion seeds to let us know they’re nearby.  The appearance of a friendly bird, such as a robin, is another message that they are close by.

Faeries and other creatures often work together as they’re all in harmony with the Earth, whose wisdom can come in many forms.  Just allow yourself to be receptive and use your intuition to decipher any signs that you see.  

If possible, sit next to a flowing stream and visualise your cares being resolved and any concerns flowing away.  Alternatively, imagine your hopes and wishes flowing towards you, looking out for any significant signs from nature as you do so.  

You could also leave your own sign for the faeries next time you’re out in nature, letting them know  you wish to connect with them.  Leaving a tiny wooden fairy door next to a tree is a sure sign to the fey that you’re a faery friend.  

The faeries will pick up on your intentions and help to manifest them.  If you don’t have access to a stream, it can be just as effective to visualise the process.  

Those are some gorgeous, delicious messages! I’d love to know which card chose you and how it landed in your heart. Did Spirit score the winning goal? Did the Full Moon shine a light on something you’d been quietly avoiding? Or perhaps it simply reminded you that it’s time to change your game plan.

As we blow the final whistle on June and step onto the field of a brand-new month, remember that every ending carries the seed of a new beginning. Celebrate how far you’ve come, be gentle with yourself where you’re still growing, and trust that Spirit is already cheering you on from the sidelines.

Have a stupendous week, delicious lovely. Breathe deeply, celebrate your glorious, gorgeous self, and above all… have fun! Life is infinitely sweeter when we remember to play.

Big hugs, squeezes, moonbeams and bubbles galore!

✨ When Fire Meets Bloom: Beltane & the Flower Supermoon on May 1st.

· ·

Gorgeous Soul,

Whoot. Whoot.

On May 1st, Beltane arrives… and the Flower Supermoon rises — all within the same breath of sky.

And if you pause for just a moment, you can feel it… that hum beneath everything. That sense that something is shifting, quickening, asking to be lived more fully.

This is not a quiet doorway we are stepping through.

This is fire meeting bloom. This is desire meeting devotion.

This is the moment where everything you have been tending, dreaming, circling… begins to ask a little more of you.

The Flower Supermoon rises full and luminous, closer to the earth than usual, casting her glow in a way that feels almost intimate. She has a way of illuminating the places you’ve been avoiding, and equally, the places that are ready to open.

Emotions rise. Truth sharpens. Longings that you may have tucked neatly away suddenly feel very present, very alive.

She doesn’t whisper this time.

She pulls.

She reveals.

She asks, gently but firmly, “What are you ready to release… and what are you finally willing to claim?”

And just as she reaches her fullness, Beltane steps in — wild-haired and warm, carrying the scent of blossoms and woodsmoke.

Beltane is the fire festival. The celebration of aliveness itself. The earth is no longer waking — she is awake. Fully. Lush and fertile and unapologetically growing.

You can feel it in the lengthening days, in the blossoms that seem to appear overnight, in that restless energy in your own body that says, there is more here…

Beltane doesn’t ask you to be reasonable.

She asks you to be real.

To stop holding yourself back.
To stop waiting for the “right time.”
To stop playing small with the very life that is asking to move through you.

Traditionally, two great bonfires would be lit, and people would pass between them — a ritual of purification, protection, and blessing for the season ahead.

And while we may not be leaping between bonfires in our back gardens (though… no judgment if you are), the essence remains.

A single candle. A small flame. A moment of intention.

You might step over it. You might pass your hands through the smoke. Or you might simply sit, watching the flicker, letting it see you.

Let the fire take what no longer belongs to you. Let it burn through the doubt, the hesitation, the stories that have kept you smaller than you are.

And then… let it awaken what does belong.
Your desire. Your courage. Your willingness to choose yourself.

Because this is where it becomes something quite extraordinary.

Beltane fuels your fire — your passion, your longing, your creative spark.
And the Supermoon? She amplifies everything.

So the release may feel deeper.
The clarity may feel sharper.
The call forward may feel impossible to ignore.

This is not ordinary energy.

This is one of those rare moments where what you plant — through your thoughts, your rituals, your choices — doesn’t stay small. It takes root. It grows. It becomes.

Fire feeds the bloom.
The bloom fuels the fire.

And somewhere in the middle of all of that… is you.

At the same time, there is a quieter thread weaving its way through this intensity. We are in Taurus season, after all — grounded, sensual, steady — even as the full moon pulls from the deep, emotional waters of Scorpio.

So alongside the passion and the expansion, there is an invitation to come back to your body. To your breath. To your own care. To nourish yourself.

Not as a luxury. Not as something you get to after everything else is done.
But as something essential.

How can you fill your own cup right now?
How can you tend to yourself in the way you’ve been longing to be tended to?

There is power in that kind of devotion. Especially if you’ve been looking outward for it.

This moon, this fire, this moment… they all bring you back home.

If you feel the pull to go a little deeper, to sit with yourself in the glow of candlelight and truth, let your journal hold you for a while.

Let yourself wonder what you are ready to release under this full moon. Let yourself imagine what full bloom actually looks like for you — not the polite version, but the honest one. Notice where you may have been playing small, and gently ask why. Feel into what you are calling in for this Beltane season, and what might shift if you stopped waiting for permission to begin.

And don’t forget to honour what has already grown. There is so much that has unfolded since the last new moon that deserves to be seen, acknowledged, celebrated.

Gorgeous Soul… this is your moment.

Not to force. Not to strive. But to align.

To let the fire move you.
To let the moon guide you.
To let yourself be seen in your fullness.

And if you feel that little nudge — that whisper that says I want to go deeper into this — the Beautiful Beltane Booklet is there waiting for you.

A soft place to land.
A spark to work with.
A doorway into your own magick.

Because this? This is not the season to hold back.

🔥🌸 Whoot.

Now with all that chuntering, let’s crack on with the reading!

Take a moment to just slow it down, to come back to your gorgeous self and take a lovely breath. In your minds eye see yourself in your fullness, feel it into the tips of your toes. Breathe it in and then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that resonate for you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a gander shall we?

LADY LUNA’S MAGICK

You know that I shine upon this Earth and that we belong to each other. 

Yet you have disconnected, for all your knowledge, when only a few moments spent beneath my rays would cleanse your entire energy field, assisting you in shining your light at the full moon.  And with my dark time, you may go within and find the secrets you have kept hidden from yourself and look at them without blame or fear.

So I ask you now, as my moon Dragonfae flies about me, sending the energy ever turning, to connect with me, Lady Luna.  When you do connect, you will be more complete and the yearning and sense of hopelessness that I feel from you from time to time will ease, be soothed and finally, dissolve.

Take my healing powers and light as yours: as they are. 

Reflect upon me and I will reflect upon you, and your dreams and visions will gain in strength, clarity and power, all the while keeping you safe and grounded. 

My light has shone over the Dragonfae, the magickal world, the beings you call human and all those of the animal and plant kingdom, the minerals, the dreams and the flowers and all are mine, and I am theirs. 

My light ran through the veins of your ancestors and they understood me better than you, for all your knowledge, sometimes do now. Please, let us be friends and companions once again. Do not be afraid of my light and my night time self, for you are the same as me and we are both older than time itself.  

Learn your moon sign:  this will give you many clues as to who you are at the core of your being, who you are under the layers and layers of (unmagickal) conditioning that can rub away and erode our natural intuitive abilities and magickal gifts.  

CHENGUANG

I am Dragonfae, thus I am at once a being of copious laughter, and of earnest and deep study. 

Being Dragonfae, I know when to put aside my serious work and my mission, and play, laugh and love.  I know the importance of devoting myself to the playtime that balances, soothes and heals my heart, and lifts the heaviness that sometimes accompanies my days. 

Can you do this? Or are you too caught up in being taken seriously? There is a perfect balance between serious, cosmic matters and playful light-heartedness to be found.  Both Earth and star are necessary for all of us. We are indeed galactic beings ourselves.

But most of all, your hope and optimism is paramount right now. Take heart, for delight and joy is yours.  

You are about to experience a true reversal in your inner self:  you will now think magickally and attain mastery of magickal consciousness.  What you think, what you are manifests about you at all times: what you are now is the delicious light-hearted magickal being you were born to be. 

You are like a beautiful shining star; its light magically transforming everything it touches. Rays of light beam out from you and your body is awash with healing green energy and fresh new life. 

You are dancing in the air, lifted up on the strength of your own experience and friendships, and you would do well to wear the divine colour violet, while the gentle zephyr helps your move in the direction of your dreams.

When we allow ourselves to shine we become who we were always meant to be; and by example we encourage others to become who they truly are.

Drop the heavy nature of punishment, guilt and beliefs that no longer serve you. You are a powerful role model for others; you have experienced the joy of setting your sights high and the healing power of self-belief.  You still have many experiences ahead of you on your journey, but this energy of the star is now your companion and your divine inspiration.

NIMUE

Between my two hands lies the power of all that is; the connections between the Earth and the stars, the realms through which you can move to bring about your deepest desires and dreams.  But do you dare to dream it?

Are you courageous enough to declare your desire?

I can create, but I will not be brought forth when you do not have the fortitude to commit to your change. Make a commitment to thy own self now – she, who you truly are, is worth this trust, this pledge, this courage you must have to birth your own changing self. 

For I am gentle, but I too have no more time to spend if you wish to waste the jewels life has given you. I will turn away, because it may not yet be your time. Only you can say it is not so, and walk forth into your new self, with me as guide and light, with transformation as your nature, with your incarnation without material death as your truth.  

Do this with me:  Bless thyself. Love thyself.  Know that you are beyond your own imaginings.  Act this day, this hour, this minute, and change will flow.  Do not hesitate. Be transformed now!

It is time for you to free yourself from the confines of others’ expectations and investigate other less conventional ways of making a living.  You may be drawn to a particular crystal at this time, and may enjoy simply entering into more regular communion with the element of earth and its minerals. 

Wear jewellery that has been cleansed by you, and energised by you, and understand its significance and power for you. Make each piece you choose to wear a totem symbolising your own self, adorning and expressing who you truly are. 

Above all, the message of Nimue is to free yourself. Stop expecting others to unshackle the chains and force you to walk free. You, and only you, can remove that which is holding you back.

Woosah! Perfect guides for this gorgeous potent energy of Beltane and the Superflower Moon. Wishing you a glorious Beltane, bask in your inner fire, let this energy fill you up and nourish you. Big Blessings.

Boundaries, Blossoming & Not Playing Small!

· ·

Gorgeous Soul

The last Monday in March!  Time is doing some very interesting things for sure!

Holy hannah, I will say March zippity doo dad past with incredible speed.  One moment it felt like it was the beginning of March, then it was Equinox and poof – gone!  Did you feel the same?

Many of you have shared with me that you are feeling the surge of Spring energy, the creation, the planting of intentional seeds – however are also feeling a tad overwhelmed with the energies that are chaotically swirling right now.

I totally get it.

So let’s start with talking about Boundaries, shall we?

Did you shudder when I said Boundaries?  

There are all sorts of  boundaries that we work with every day.  Physical, Emotional, Sexual, Financial, Intellectual, Spiritual and Energetic.  

I think of boundaries as this glorious field of energy around me that has the capacity of osmosis, it lets in the delicious, yummy, healing stuff and becomes like a steel wall when shit is creeping in.  

I will be honest, I am very clear about what I allow through my boundaries whether it is through media, family, friends, random interactions, people I spend time with and even the clients that I choose to work with.

Boundaries are about healthy choices.

Boundaries are you getting clear on what is okay for you, what you need, and what you desire.  

Is that selfish?  Fuck no!  It’s healthy as long as they aren’t reactive (note that word). 

Knowing your values, owning your piece in any interaction you have and being clear about your boundaries up front is actually a refreshing gift for most of us intuitives and empaths (to be honest).  It’s something I teach in one of my courses.  

Boundaries embrace all aspects of you and yes, sometimes that means a chapter needs to close as it’s not healthy but insecurities and stories keep you stuck in it.  

Okay, so now we have boundaries gently talked about, let’s move onto the glorious Full Moon (Pink Moon) that happens on Wednesday, April 1st (April Fools day and just before Easter).

The Libra Full Moon arrives on the 1st of April, helping us to clear a pathway into the fiery, motivating, and action-fuelled energy that the month brings.

April holds some of the most motivating and fast-moving energy we have seen in a while. We have zero planets in retrograde, and lots of fiery energy pushing us to get things done, set goals, and go after our dreams.

This productive energy is likely to infuse its way into all of our lives throughout the month, but the Full Moon offers us a gentle pause, a Release Point

Arriving at the start of the month, the Full Moon offers a release point so we can make room for the fertile, fiery energy to flow. It asks us to clear and release all that feels heavy, all that is no longer serving us, and all that needs to fall away so we can move forward with greater ease and intention.

What is holding you down or keeping you stuck and limited? It’s time to have a clear-cut conversation with yourself and take decisive action.

This is not a time to hold yourself back, play small, or remain in indecision. The time has come to make a choice, once and for all. The time has come to be clear about what you want and intentional with your actions, your energy, and how you are spending your time.

(Note the energy of boundaries…..)

Then we have Easter, which I love – there are inflatable bunnies in my neighbourhood!

When my kids were smaller we would do a massive egg hunt all through the house, the property and up into the parks, I loved their joy of finding those wee chocolate eggs wrapped in glorious foil.  

There was one time, a few years ago,  I had set the hunt up (which meant getting up at 4am to do it)! 

It wended through the house, the gardens and up into a glorious park space with cliffs and alcoves.  They barrelled out with baskets in hand and found every frigging choccie egg and then as we were clambering towards home they saw someone sleeping under a tarp.

I was curious about what they would do, and left it up to them.  

They paused, and then in quiet collaboration they gently left a massive pile of choccie eggs outside the top of the tarp and when they got home they all sat in a circle, poured the eggs out and shared them up equally.  

Have to say, it made my heart sing.

However, sometimes family gatherings at celebration times don’t have that energy.  

Uncle Tom, who can be a sarcastic asshole, comes.  Auntie Jean who is so critical about the food is invited and though you mean well, we may not thoroughly enjoy it.  It can feel like a chore or an obligation.

I invite you to play with the energy of boundaries, who you are, what you want and why you want it and to use your voice with compassion but truth.

So with all that being said, let’s crack on with the reading.  

The guides that decided to come and play are the glorious guides of the Sacred Forest.  

Now if these are new to you, please let me introduce them (as not to do so would be rude!)

At the edge of the mind awaits the holy wilderness of the soul.  It beckons you, like a great forest filled with vast mysteries and wonders.  While this mystical realm exists in a higher dimension, beyond normal reality, it is real nevertheless.  To enter this mystical realm, it’s simply a matter of having an open heart and an open mind.  

In this healing and holy place, long-sought answers to your deepest questions become known.  Ancient wisdom emerges.  Revelations about your future are revealed.  Hidden talents and abilities are activated with you.  It’s a place where miracles unfold, and your spirit can fly. 

In the deepest sense you remember who you are.  

So my dear one, just close your eyes and allow the delicious energy of this Full Moon and boundaries to swirl around you. Then when you are ready, pick the card of cards that call to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Come take a peek.

BEAR SPIRIT

Healing

You can sense the presence of the bear, even before you see him.  

You turn slowly and look deep into his eyes, as a long lineage of healers – invisible, yet real – step out from beyond the trees and surround you both.  When you reach out and touch his thick fur, you feel healing energy instantly surge through you.

When the Bear Spirit appears healing on all levels is occurring, and it can come in many forms.  Be ready to accept it.  Know as well that you are a healing force for others.  

You may not even be aware that you are a conduit for healing energy, but when others thank you, simply say, “You’re welcome,” even if you don’t know how it happened.

In many native traditions, Bear Spirit is thought to be aligned with humans, as he can walk upright like a human.  He represents the healer and “good medicine”.  He also bestows healing powers to those worthy.  You indeed are worthy.

Bear Spirit energy can also represent grounding, strength, and confidence.  It activates a stable foundation to face whatever challenges appear in your life.

You are a healer, whether with your words, your hands, your ability to listen and a channel for the life force of the Universe.

You are strong and grounded.

Healing is unfolding and/or a situation is being resolved.

Have faith that all is well.

DAFFODIL FAIRY

New Beginnings

You feel a tap on your shoulder, and in a flash of yellow, you see a Daffodil Fairy fly by you.  In a high, sweet voice she says, “The best is yet to be!  It’s time for a new beginning!”  With glee, you race after her into the forest.

Life goes in cycles.  Just as spring follows winter, a new cycle is beginning in your life.  In the phases of the earth, the plants die in the fall so that there can be new birth in the spring – it’s the universal dance of death and rebirth. 

There’s a time to end and begin, and this is the close of one cycle and the beginning of another.

We associate the daffodil with spring, as it is one of the first flowers to emerge after the snows.  Its shape echoes the feeling of trumpeting in the new season; its colour suggests vitality, radiance, and sunshine.  

It’s time to wipe the slate clean; it’s time to release the old and start again.

It can be difficult to release familiar routines, situations, or relationships when they no longer empower you; however, your higher self encourages you to not cling to the old, but set sail into new waters. 

 If you find yourself afraid to let go, you are urged to face your fear and allow yourself to stretch in a new direction.

The Creatrix is at your side, and wonderful opportunities will be born in your life.  Wholeness occurs when you can say yes to both endings and beginnings.

It’s time to start a new project or a new cycle.  Life force and vitality are emerging.  Release that which doesn’t serve and support you.  

Make way for a new start! Success is at hand!

STAG SPIRIT

Leadership

A majestic stag stands atop a mossy knoll.  His nobility and grace are palpable.  You can see fog form around his nostrils with his every exhalation.  He does not need to announce his might.  Simply and utterly, he is powerful without words or proclamation.

In many traditions, the elusive and mysterious white stag is considered king of the forest.  With his noble antlers and his proud stance, he carries a commanding energy.  This card is calling you to claim leadership of your life.  Now is the time to step out of the shadows and become a beacon for others.  Don’t allow anyone or anything to dim your light.  

You may be asked to take on a position of authority.  Even if you have been in the background in the past, this is your time to step up and shine.  

Remember that a leader isn’t necessarily defined by age, status, or income.  A true leader is someone who is commanding, passionate, and motivating.  They have a vision and are able to make decisions with clarity and strength.

The greatest leaders are those who know how to serve and act as stepping stones for others to reach their dreams.  You empower others simply by being who you are…and who you are is enough.  Are you willing to step into the light and be a leader for others?

You inspire others to greater heights.  Step into leadership in your life.  You are a beacon for others.  Shine in your own life.  Be gentle with yourself and others; however, do not play small.  

Take action.  This is your time.  Step up.  

Woosah (yes, I say that a lot as that’s the energy that floods in).  Happy Monday, have a glorious week and remember to evaluate your boundaries, be clear and spend some time with this glorious Full Moon.  And if you celebrate Easter.  Have a hippity, hoppity time.  I am going to kayak, and play in my garden – so see you in two weeks.   Massive hugs.

When the World Screams “Buy!”… I Choose Blessed and Unbothered.

Gorgeous Soul,

December stepped in this morning with its quiet frost and instinctive hush, yet everywhere I turn, I’m met with a blizzard of flashing ads, shrill notifications, glossy promotions, and digital cajoling. Black Friday. Cyber Monday. Limited Offer. Last Chance.

The whole spectacle feels like an overcaffeinated carnival shouting into the marrow of my bones. I value prudence with money — of course — but this frantic devotion to “stuff-for-the-sake-of-stuff” makes my spirit recoil.

The clangour, the manufactured urgency, the relentless chorus of Buy now, buy fast, buy more — set against the trembling state of the world — feels entirely counter to the soul of this season.

You feel it too, don’t you?

That subtle trembling of your nervous system whispering, enough — enough scrolling, enough grasping, enough noise.

In these past weeks, I found myself caught in the undertow of “shoulds.” The invisible insistence to acquire, prepare, produce, impress. It felt like standing in a wind tunnel of expectations that were never mine to begin with.

Thus, through our family’s “birthday season” — that lively stretch from September to now — I decided to refuse the rote ritual of obligatory gifts. Instead, we crafted experiences together. One for each of the horde.

A dazzling West End London show — When God Was a Scottish Drag Queen — that left us breathless with laughter.
A decadent spa afternoon where we soaked our feet while seals tumbled through silvered waves.
A wildfire-fun improv night with two SNL greats that left us gasping.
A pottery session where clay-flecked hands shaped mugs and memories.
And this weekend — a family Celtic knot tattoo, ink looping our stories into skin.

This, to me, is the marrow of the season — a call toward slowness, toward gentleness, toward presence.

Yet everywhere around us the world hollers, “Hurry!”

With Winter Solstice drifting near, we stand at the cusp of the year’s deepest darkness — a liminal passage asking us to rest, rekindle our inner ember, and reacquaint ourselves with the softer rooms of our own being.

But here’s the quiet truth: most of us were never taught how to do that.

We were conditioned to barrel through winter. To dismiss the fatigue. To keep producing, performing, persevering. To pretend we’re fine even when our inner world is begging for a moment of stillness.

But our spirits yearn for something else — something tender, unhurried, unadorned.

Which is why Omen Days will return this year. (More on that next week.) The Omen Days offer a gentle, deep, restorative way for closing the year with grace, intention, and a glimpse into what 2026 is weaving.

And yes — I’ll be hosting a Solstice gathering to help us cross the threshold of the longest night with reverence and warmth.

On December 4th, we welcome the luminous Cold Moon.

This moon arrives like a lantern in the frost — aligned with Yuletide, humming with old magic.

Its teaching is ancient: rest, renewal, the quiet promise of beginnings wrapped inside endings. It marks the culmination of our journey around the sun, encouraging us to pause, to breathe, to soften.

It may feel counterintuitive to slow down when the world is screaming for speed, but remember: your worth has never lived inside your productivity.

Let the Cold Moon be your invitation to hibernate a little — to occupy your moments with presence, delight, and the small things that make your heart glow.

This is a season thick with transformation, inner excavation, and the sacred alchemy of becoming. A time to recharge, reconnect, and return to yourself and the ones you love.

Do you see how beautifully it all interlaces?

You are not separate from the seasons.

You are the season — unfolding, deepening, shifting — just as nature does.

So I am so tickled to see new guides wanting to come and chat with you this week.  These gorgeous guides invite you to find out  –What your soul wants you to know.

Okay my darling one, take a breath.  Envision you are standing out in the dark, the brisk cold wind hits your cheeks and you light a candle.  The flame flickers and dances with the night sky behind it.  As you gaze at the flame, take a breath and allow yourself to rest and relax.  Listen to the whispers of your Soul.

Then when you are ready pick the card or cards that make your Soul tickle.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s see what your Soul wants to share with you……

SIMPLICITY

Do what matters; and release the rest to find peace, grace and stillness.  

Clear all the internal and external clutter!

Your soul wants you to know, one of the fastest ways to align with the tranquil vibration of the Creator/Creatrix/Divine – whatever name you use – is through simplicity.

A busy life and the accumulation of more than you need creates static; it can be difficult to hear the voice of Spirit when there’s mental chaos in your life.

Create time to rest and rejuvenate.  Clear the clutter in your home, the files in your computer, and the drawers at work.  (And I can see you rolling your eyes!)

Even a small amount of this cleansing can make an immense difference.

Create a feeling of simplicity, and know the grace of the Divine.

Repeat to yourself:  Deep, Profound Serenity is Expanding in My Life.  

PASSION

Follow your bliss!  (Yeah I know you have heard that before, but……. It’s true).

Discover what you absolutely love to do or be, and then, like an arrow directed at its target, don’t let anything stop you from fulfilling your passion!

Your soul wants you to know – If you’re having difficulty discovering what you’re passionate about, go back into your childhood and remember what gave you joy then.

If you loved to dance as a child, sign up for a movement class.  Better yet, put on music and dance your soxs off in the living room to your Soul’s delight.  

If you adored crayons, pull out those colours and splash their bright hues from one side of the page to the other.

If you enjoyed observing insects in your backyard, maybe sign up for a nature study course.

Once you are clear on what you are passionate about, do whatever it takes to follow that – don’t wait until it’s too late.

Many people declare that they will follow their bliss when they retire or have extra time, and consequently they never experience the absolute exuberance of life.

If not now when?  Live your life with passion! What are you waiting for?

Repeat to yourself:  I passionately accept and love myself!

SILENCE

Can you be still and take the time to move into the silent place within yourself?  That place which is your internal power source?


Your soul wants you to know – The world is super loud and often at the end of the day you flop into bed with all sorts swimming in your head.  In silence you’ll find your sacred witness.  It’s the dwelling place of your Soul.  

Your Spirit loves the truth, and in peace you can seek and discover your truth.

If you are in pain, go into it until you find the source so it can be healed. Move past the bustle and chatter of life into sweet quietude, and surrender to stillness.  Resist the temptation to indulge in feelings of overwhelm, urgency, and emergency.

Your power is born in silence.

Seek solitude to listen to the voice of  your higher self and awaken your inner wisdom; this peace gives birth to your serenity.

Repeat to yourself – I am Serene, No Matter what is occurring around me.

Gorgeous one, allow yourself to move a bit more gently with yourself.  Keep your eyes peeled for The Omen Days, you will love it and the Solstice gathering.  Sending you massive hugs and warm soxs and tea!
