Full Moon

Gather the Good. Lay Down the Heavy.

The Hunter’s Full Moon in Taurus

Gorgeous Soul, have you noticed how autumn holds abundance and endings in the same outstretched hand?

There are apples to gather, soup pots bubbling and leaves showing off their glorious colours. Meanwhile, the garden is beginning to fold into itself. Stems soften, petals fall, and what flourished a few weeks ago is returning to the soil.

I find something deeply reassuring in that. Nature gives so generously, then allows herself to change pace. Looking around my garden, I’m reminded how much effort we put into keeping ourselves endlessly productive, even when every leaf beneath our feet is suggesting another way.

As the Hunter’s Full Moon approaches on October 25, we’re invited to recognise the harvest of our own lives and consider what will sustain us through the darker months.

October’s invitation to gather, release and unfurl continues.

Gathering the goodness

Some of the year’s gifts are easy to recognise. Food on the table. A warm home. The company of someone who makes us laugh until we snort.

Others reveal themselves more quietly. The courage to speak honestly. A friendship that deepened. The discovery that we could ask for help and someone would show up.

Our harvest includes the wisdom we’ve gathered through living—the boundaries we’ve learned to honour, the support we’ve allowed ourselves to receive, and the small pleasures that have kept us company when things were rather frigging hard.

We can appreciate that growth while acknowledging what it cost us. Gratitude has room for complicated feelings.

The Hunter’s Moon offers a seasonal image of gathering and preparation. As the nights lengthen, we can draw closer to the people, practices and everyday comforts that nourish us.

The earthy wisdom of enough

In astrology, Taurus is associated with the earth, the senses, steadiness and what we value. Its symbolism draws our attention towards the tangible things that help us feel supported.

The warmth of a mug in your hands. Clean sheets. Something nourishing simmering on the stove. A walk that brings you back into conversation with your body.

These moments can slip past us when we’re chasing the next task or wondering what else we should be doing.

And oh my giddy aunt, that word should can eat an entire afternoon.

There is something quietly powerful about recognising when we have done enough for the day. Putting the work down. Eating while the food is still warm. Allowing ourselves to enjoy the evening we are actually living.

For some of us, material security is a real and pressing concern. We can acknowledge what is missing while recognising the nourishment and support that are available. Both deserve our attention.

When the garden begins to wither

Alongside the harvest comes the withering. Leaves curl at their edges. The garden grows untidy. What falls feeds the soil and shelters small lives through winter.

There is so much happening beneath what looks like an ending.

Yet we can be extraordinarily hard on ourselves when something in our own lives reaches completion. We keep trying to revive an exhausted role, meet an expectation that no longer fits, or hold together an arrangement that leaves us depleted.

Autumn gives us another way to understand these changes. There are seasons for growth and seasons for drawing our energy closer. Endings can carry grief, relief and uncertainty together.

Our October card, Unfurl the Wings of Forgiveness, offers accountability and compassion as companions here. Accountability helps us recognise what needs changing and take the steps that belong to us. Compassion allows us to acknowledge how we got here without making ourselves suffer for it indefinitely.

We can make a repair, choose differently and let that choice take root over time.

Your body belongs in the balance

As the season turns inward, the body’s quieter requests deserve attention.

Tiredness. Hunger. A longing for company or a little less noise. The relief that arrives when a commitment is lifted.

We can become so skilled at accommodating others that we stop noticing how much room we’ve given away. Rest gets pushed to the end of an ever-growing list, somewhere after everyone else is comfortable and the entire house is sorted.

You belong in the balance, Gorgeous Soul.

Your time, comfort and peace deserve consideration. A boundary can make room for a proper meal, a slower morning, a nourishing conversation or an evening with nothing to prove.

These ordinary acts of care help us meet the coming season with something left in the tank.

The longer story

With Samhain drawing closer, remembrance becomes part of the landscape.

The Moon above us has shone over so many lives: people gathering food, tending fires, loving one another, enduring uncertainty and finding their way through changing seasons.

Their stories reach us through recipes, songs, familiar gestures and ways of seeing the world. Some bring warmth. Others carry pain or expectations we are learning to question.

We can approach that inheritance with discernment. There is room to honour what nourishes us, grieve what was missing and choose what we wish to carry forward.

Connection may also live through chosen family, the land beneath our feet and people whose kindness helped shape our lives. We belong to a wider web than we can always see.

As the evenings deepen, tending the hearth can become a small expression of that belonging. Making something nourishing. Calling someone we love. Creating a place where we can settle and feel welcome.

A little Hunter’s Moon magick

Preserving what matters takes care. Relationships need attention, memories need space, and the practices that sustain us need a place in our days.

I’ve created journal prompts for a deeper exploration of this Moon’s themes.

There is also a simple preservation ritual to honour what has nourished you and mark what you choose to tend through the darker months.

Make yourself a delicious cuppa and give yourself a little breathing room.

May your harvest include the wisdom you’ve earned and the joy you nearly overlooked. May your home offer warmth, and your boundaries give you room to rest.

Gather the good, Gorgeous Soul. Lay down a little of the heavy. There is another season waiting to meet you.

🌕 The Harvest Full Moon.

Ripeness, Change & the Turning Season

This Saturday, September 26th, we welcome the Harvest Moon, also known as the Corn Moon.

This Full Moon falls in Aries, opposite the Sun in Libra. Aries is bold, independent and motivating, while Libra reminds us that we live in relationship with others. Together, there can be a lovely tension between following our own path and considering the people who walk alongside us.

And I will be very clear here — I am not an astrologer!

I use astrology in my own life and in my work, but if you asked me to decipher all your transits and houses and whatnot, I would probably look at you as though you were bonkers. 😂

What interests me far more is what I call the Seasonal Lens.

Where does this Moon fall on the Wheel of the Year?

What is happening in Nature around us?

And what might Nature be showing us about ourselves?

Because this Harvest Moon arrives only days after the Autumn Equinox.

We have crossed that moment of balance between light and dark, and now the days begin to noticeably shorten.

The growing season is coming to an end. Birds are beginning their migrations. Seeds are scattering. Leaves are changing colour. The garden is shifting from producing and growing towards releasing and returning.

Summer is letting go.

And whether we notice it consciously or not, I think many of us feel that shift too.

For months the energy has been outward.

Growing. Doing. Creating. Going places. Longer evenings. Gardens exploding. Windows open. Bare feet.

And now something begins to draw us back in. Not all at once.

Nature rarely seems to work like that.

It happens slowly. A colder morning. Darkness arriving a little earlier. The first leaves gathering on the ground. Suddenly needing a sweater when yesterday you didn’t.

Until one day we realise that the season has changed.

And perhaps something in us has changed with it.

That’s why I love looking at the Moon through the season rather than trying to find one definitive spiritual meaning for it.

Nature gives us something tangible to work with.

We can simply ask:

What is happening around me right now?

And then become curious about where that same movement might be happening within us.

There is something about this time of year that always makes me think about ripeness.

You can look at an apple on a tree and know when it’s nearly ready. Pick it too soon and it hasn’t had time to become what it was going to become. Leave it too long and you’ve missed the moment.

Our lives aren’t really all that different. Things ripen in us too.

Sometimes it’s obvious. We’ve worked towards something for months and finally there it is.

But sometimes the harvest is much quieter.

Perhaps you’ve become clearer about something. Perhaps a decision that felt impossible in spring doesn’t feel quite so impossible now. Maybe you’ve grown a boundary, changed your mind, found your voice, discovered something you want more of — or realised you’re simply done with something.

And we can be so busy asking ourselves what’s next? that we don’t stop long enough to recognise what is already ready.

Because something being ripe doesn’t automatically make it a harvest.

At some point we have to reach out and gather it.

And while we’re doing all this gathering, the birds are beginning to leave.

I love watching that shift. Somehow they know.

The light changes, the temperature changes, something tells them that the season they’re in is ending and it’s time to move.

And off they go.

Meanwhile, we humans can receive seventeen signals that something in our lives needs to change and still think, Mmmm… perhaps I need another sign. 😂

Maybe there is something you’re feeling pulled towards.

Or perhaps there is something you’ve known for quite some time that you’re ready to leave behind.

Not because it’s terrible. Not because you have to burn the whole bloody thing to the ground.

Simply because the season has changed.

Nature does this all around us without making it mean that something has gone wrong. The leaves change. Birds leave. Seeds scatter. Daylight disappears a little earlier. And the garden gets a little wilder.

Actually, considerably wilder.

There comes a point in autumn when Nature seems to stop giving a toss about looking tidy. 😂

Seed heads lean sideways. Leaves blow everywhere. Things tumble over each other. The garden that looked lush and organised a few weeks ago begins doing entirely its own thing.

I rather love that.

There’s something freeing about being reminded that life isn’t supposed to be perfectly managed.

Maybe we can loosen our grip a little too. Leave room for something unexpected.

Follow a curiosity. Do something simply because it brings us joy.

Spend a little less time managing our lives and a little more time actually experiencing them.

And perhaps that’s also why this change in season can feel so noticeable in our bodies.

The rhythm that suited us in July might not suit us now.

The days are shorter. The evenings cooler. The natural world is beginning to pull its energy inward.

Nature doesn’t try to preserve summer forever. Why do we expect ourselves to?

Changing our rhythm doesn’t mean abandoning ourselves.

Sometimes adapting is simply learning how to remain ourselves while the world around us changes.

Because we’re standing at that point right now. Summer hasn’t entirely disappeared.

Autumn hasn’t completely settled in. We’re somewhere in between. And perhaps we don’t need to rush through that.

We can simply notice.

Notice what’s ripe. Notice what’s changing. Notice what we’re being drawn towards. Notice what we’re ready to leave behind.

And maybe allow ourselves to move with the season rather than fighting to stay exactly where we’ve been.

Because Nature is beginning to turn inward. Perhaps we are too.

🌕 A Little Full Moon Magick

And because I don’t believe all Full Moon rituals need to be solemn, serious affairs involving seventeen candles and setting another bloody piece of paper on fire… 😂

This one involves bubbles.

Yes, bubbles.

A little breath. A little release. A little intention. And a lovely reminder that ritual can also contain play, wonder and joy.

If there is something you’re ready to let drift away with the changing season — and something you’d like to welcome in its place — grab your bubbles and come play beneath the Harvest Moon with me.

Happy Harvest Moon, Gorgeous Souls. 🌕🍎🍂

May you recognise what is ripe, gather what is yours, and trust the season you are actually in.

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

Jenny Heston · 3:33 pm ·

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.

Jenny Heston · 2:12 pm ·

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.

Jenny Heston · 2:22 pm ·

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.
