Guidance

As the Sun Rises, So Do You!

Jenny Heston · 2:22 pm · Leave a Comment

Gorgeous Soul,

Welcome to June. We have lots to discuss today as with the June energy there are some glorious changes happening over here.

However, can we just take a moment to acknowledge how quickly we arrived here?

One minute it felt like we were crawling our way through the mud and intensity of spring, blinking at the chaos of the world and trying to remember where we put our nervous systems… and now suddenly the roses are blooming, the bees are drunk with pollen, the evenings are stretching long and golden, and Summer Solstice is peeking around the corner.

And honestly? I can feel her already.

There is something about June that feels alive in a different way. The air itself feels fuller somehow. Richer. Like the earth has exhaled and said, “Right then sweetie, let’s begin.”

Because that’s the interesting thing about Summer Solstice. Even though it marks the height of the Sun’s power, the longest day of the year, it is also somehow just the beginning.

The beginning of summer.
The beginning of the true growing season.
The beginning of something new inside ourselves.

And that has always fascinated me.

Summer Solstice has been celebrated since Neolithic times. Humans have gathered around fires, honoured the Sun, danced, feasted, prayed and whispered wishes into the warm night air for thousands upon thousands of years. There is something deeply ancient about this moment on the Wheel of the Year. Something instinctive.

Something our bones remember.

And if you know me at all, you know I adore the old stories surrounding Solstice. The veil is thin at this time of year. The Fae are said to wander more freely. The world becomes a little more enchanted, a little more slippery, a little more alive with possibility and mischief.

I mean honestly, even Shakespeare was writing about midsummer magick in the 1500s, so clearly humans have been enchanted by this energy for a very long time. Muhahaha.

But beneath the whimsy and flower crowns and bonfires, there is something incredibly powerful happening energetically this month.

The Sun reaches its highest point in the sky here in the Northern Hemisphere, and with it comes this invitation for us to rise too.

Not in the hustle-until-you-collapse kind of way.

But in the authentic kind of way.

The kind where you stop apologising for who you are.

The kind where you stop dimming yourself to make others comfortable.

The kind where you finally allow yourself to say, “Actually… this is what I want. This is who I am becoming. This is the life I want to create.”

That is the energy I keep feeling over and over again for June.

Creative liberation.
Authentic expression.
The beginning of a new era.

There is this sense that many of us are standing at a threshold right now. Something has reached its pinnacle. Something has completed. Something is quietly asking to be released with love.

And at the exact same time, something new is stretching awake inside of us.

I keep hearing the words “right-sizing your life.”

Not making your life smaller.
Not making yourself smaller.

But creating a life that actually fits who you are now instead of who you used to be.

And if I’m being honest, this energy has been moving through my own life in a very big way these last few months.

I have been sitting quietly with a lot. Listening. Watching. Allowing things to unfold instead of forcing answers before they are ready.

And somewhere in all of that, I realised something that genuinely startled me.

I have been doing weekly readings for fourteen years.

Fourteen.

Years.

When that landed in my body, I just sat there blinking for a minute because it has been such a huge part of my life and my work and my connection with all of you. I have loved writing them. Loved tapping into the energy every week. Loved the rhythm and ritual of it.

But I have also changed. My work has changed.

The way I want to create has changed.

And June, with all this glorious Solstice energy of authenticity and creative liberation, feels like the right moment to lovingly loosen my grip on what has been and make space for what wants to arrive next.

So there will still be weekly readings through June, but during July and August we are going to slow things down and work more deeply with the monthly energies, the seasonal shifts and the other magickal bits and pieces that are asking to come through.

However prior to stepping into the monthly, as many of you have asked – yes there will be a Summer Solstice Reading Special (it will be the last one I will be doing). There will be 21 spots available and if you are part of our glorious email community – you will find out about it on Thursday!

And then in September… oh sweetie… September feels big.

Because I am being guided toward creating more spaces of community.

Not polished, curated, performative community.

Real community.

The kind where people can show up messy and grieving and hopeful and magical and exhausted and joyful all at once. The kind where we gather around metaphorical fires and remember we were never meant to do this human thing alone.

And honestly? I am pig wiggly excited about it.

At the same time, this season has also held deep grief for me.

It was recently the second anniversary of losing the Mothership, and grief is such a strange companion. It sneaks up in unexpected moments. A smell. A sentence. A memory. A flower blooming at the wrong time.

There is something profoundly disorienting about becoming an adult orphaned child. About realising there is no longer anyone alive who has known you from the very beginning.

And layered within that has been the grief of rupture. Of family. Of endings. Of becoming someone new while also carrying the ache of what has been lost.

Perhaps that is also part of Solstice wisdom.

The understanding that life is always asking us to hold both.

Joy and grief.
Endings and beginnings.
Fire and tenderness.
Release and becoming.

So if you have been feeling stretched between worlds lately, if you have been feeling the ache of change alongside the excitement of possibility, you are not alone.

The Sun is asking all of us to rise right now.

To tend our inner flame.
To stop abandoning ourselves.
To trust what is trying to bloom.

Because as the outer Sun reaches the height of its power this month, your own inner Sun has the potential to rise too.

Your fire. Your creativity. Your ability to create, act, love, express and become.

All of it is being touched by this energy. So breathe that in for a moment.

Let the warmth of it settle into your bones. Let it ignite the parts of you that are ready to come alive again.

And when you are ready, sweet soul, pick the card — or cards — that are calling to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go see shall we?

GO DARK

Your darkness is not your enemy.

It can seem scary, but it’s where new life grows and develops. You do too.

This moment calls you to be willing to be with your own darkness. It asks you to embrace your dark as your beloved ally. To cradle your uncertainty.

The dark night of the soul holds secrets for you that you wouldn’t be able to see in the brightness of glaring certainty.

Poet Mary Oliver spoke about a box of darkness as a priceless gift in her life.

Chaos, crisis and suffering want to gift you a new understanding of who you really are beyond who you always thought yourself to be.

COURT THE FEMININE

The word cunning is closely associated with the fox.

Cunning, like foxes and women, has been given a bad rap.

Many have twisted the word’s sacred origins into something manipulative and conniving.

But the word cunning comes from an older Middle English word “ken”, a range of knowledge or sight.

A cunning person understands that deep internal sight and wide-range vision lead to building an authentic life. Excavate your deep knowing and trust its messages.

This is the way your soul-sight grows sharp, and your instincts return to the untamed power you were born with.

Sharpen your cunning to cut away what no longer serves.

No matter your gender, your life deserves the fierce protection that feminine discernment can bring.

CRAFT YOUR FOCUS

Your vision is a magnifying energy source, amplifying and expanding what it perceives.

In any single moment you have one choice. You can turn your gaze toward what you don’t want, what isn’t working, what you are fearful of, what you worry about.

Or, you can look at what you treasure, what you love, and what you hope for, despite what reality tells you is possible.

Either way, what you focus on grows, right?

Now is the time to use this very simple power to direct the energy and flow of your experience.

When you focus on what you already have with gratitude, and what you want with love and appreciation, you create the energy version of your vision before there is any proof in the material world.

This moment invites you to consciously choose your focus.

Okay, have to say – love these cards! All deep, rich and meaningful! Wishing you a glorious beginning of June, may you step into your authenticity and make sure you are part of our glorious email community so you can take one of the 21 spots.

Massive hugs and rose petals.

Stopping to Smell the Roses in a World on Fire.

Jenny Heston · 1:11 pm ·

Gorgeous Soul,

Happy May.

And can we all just take a collective moment to whisper, “thank goodness the energy shifted,” after the absolute firestorm that was April? Whoot. I don’t know about you, but April felt like being spiritually tumble-dried at times. Fast, fiery, intense, illuminating… and honestly a little exhausting.

But May?

May arrives differently.

She doesn’t burst through the door demanding transformation. She slips quietly into the garden barefoot, smelling faintly of lilacs and damp earth, asking us to soften our shoulders, unclench our jaws and remember that life is meant to be lived, not merely survived.

Yesterday was Mother’s Day and if I’m honest, it felt gloriously bitter-sweet.

Every Mother’s Day I would head over to my Mum’s with baked goods, plants, soil and planters and create beautiful overflowing pots for her to enjoy. It was ritual. Tradition. Love woven through dirt-covered hands and flowers.

But with Mum dying just over a year ago, that ritual no longer exists in the same way.

And grief is funny like that.

It sneaks into ordinary moments. Into garden centres. Into seeing someone reach for petunias. Into the instinct to pick up an extra plant before remembering there is no longer a doorstep to place it on.

There is something profound about ancestral lineage and the threads that connect us through simple acts of care. Sometimes we inherit recipes. Sometimes stories. Sometimes gardening habits and the understanding that tending living things is its own form of prayer.

So instead, I spent the day with my horde.

We wandered amongst the camas flowers, meandered slowly, dug in the garden, laughed, got muddy, and bless them, they gifted me the coolest gargoyle ever, who has already been officially named Quido. Naturally.

And funnily enough, last year they gifted me a glorious Hansa Rose, which is hands down my favourite rose ever because the scent is utterly divine. This year she is blooming like an absolute fiend.

And honestly?

That feels like the energy of May itself.

Blooming. Softening. Rooting deeper. Opening anyway.

May brings us countless opportunities to pause long enough to stop and smell the roses.

And yes, I know that saying can sound a little cliché at first glance, but perhaps our souls desperately need exactly that right now.

To stop and smell the roses means intentionally slowing down. It means lifting your gaze from the doom-scrolling, the pressure, the endless to-do lists and noticing what is beautiful. What is nourishing. What makes you smile.

The sunlight through leaves.
Tea while still hot.
Birdsong at dawn.
Hands in the dirt.
A dog proudly bringing you a random bone while you garden.
The smell of roses drifting on warm air.

These moments may seem tiny, but they are not insignificant.

Scientifically, practices of presence and gratitude have been shown to increase satisfaction, emotional wellbeing and our overall sense of connection to life. But spiritually? I think they help us remember who we actually are beneath all the noise.

May offers grounding influences that feel deeply supportive to our minds, bodies and souls. This month encourages us to become intentional with our energy.

Not feeding what we fear. Not endlessly watering what drains us.

But instead consciously turning toward what we want more of.

More peace. More beauty.
More joy. More connection. More softness.
More truth.

And on May 16th we are gifted with the Taurus New Moon.

Now Taurus energy knows exactly how to stop and smell the roses. This New Moon brings in a lunar cycle that feels calmer, steadier and far more restorative than the chaos we have been collectively moving through.

This is not rushed energy. This is deliberate energy. Grounded energy. Long-term roots instead of frantic branches.

We are being invited to slow down enough to hear ourselves again.

To breathe deeper.
To move intentionally.
To choose what truly matters.

So with all that being said… let’s crack on with the reading, shall we?

Gorgeous One, breathe, just breathe.

Allow yourself to simply BE for a moment. Let your mind soften. Let your breath slow. Let the energy of stopping to smell the roses wend its way gently through your spirit.

Then quietly ask your wise inner self: “What do I need to know this week?”

And when you are ready, choose the card — or cards — that tug at your heartstrings.

Don’t let your mind choose. Let your soul do the talking.

And if you feel called to go deeper, I have a glorious wee guided visualisation waiting for you as well. Don’t worry… you won’t need gardening gloves. 🌹

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look, shall we?

QUEEN OF HEARTS

Your heart has been chosen by the Divine to be a temple for spiritual light, an inner place where grace and healing can dwell. This is very special. A temple is kept clean and pure, scented with sacred perfumes of incense, made beautiful with our feelings uncluttered and spacious so that as much spiritual presence as possible can enter.

When spirit enters and fills the temple of the heart, things of extraordinary beauty take place. Even the seemingly impossible becomes possible. Clear your heart temple with forgiveness, gratitude and love for the spirit, so it can fulfil its divine destiny of being a sacred channel for beautiful divine grace.

The mind may believe it has got the power to rule, but, in truth, the heart is queen. You are a true goddess of love, one who consults the heart for answers. You will courageously follow the guidance of the heart. Even when the mind doesn’t want to surrender to the call of the heart, and fearfully lists numerous reasons why it is crazy and stupid and will end badly, you know that the doubt of the mind is no match for the power of the heart.

Things don’t need to make sense to your mind or to anyone else, they just need to make sense to your heart. You are already a divine queen, your heart aflame with passionate purpose. Stay true to your heart’s wisdom and you will change the world!

SHAMAN OF SKULLS

In your heart, you have been asking for something different, something more, and the Universe is answering your prayers. You don’t need to be afraid of the changes happening, or that are going to happen, for you. They are part of that answer from the Universe! You might feel uncertain because you cannot see how it is going to all work out – but know that the Universe is caring for you, and will provide a way to move through the transition with grace.

You are not crazy to willingly enter this experience. There is nothing that you need avoid, and so much that you will gain.

Something is ending. Something that has meant a lot to you. Maybe it is a relationship, a phase of your life, and identity that no longer suits you. Maybe it is an inner ending that you can’t quite articulate, but you feel nonetheless. This is a symbolic death with a greater purpose.

The shaman is spiritually trained to overcome the fear of symbolic death and, instead of avoiding endings, to willingly go through them with the awareness that an ending is simply the other side of a beginning. The shaman learns that endings happen when something new wishes to be born.

Be patient with yourself, be kind, but also know that new life is happening for you now according to a higher purpose and loving plan. Your life is meant to change at this time. Be encouraged! From the ashes of this symbolic death, you shall rise again.

FINCH SPIRIT GUIDE

Finch Spirit Guide comes to you with guidance to care for yourself in a particular way. Finches can become beautifully coloured, but only when they eat foods that nourish them. They have the power of beauty within, but they need the correct nourishment to be able to transform that potential into expression.

You also have beautiful divine potential to shine your light and beauty in the world, but you must feed your soul what it needs to do this. Be respectful and loving to yourself as you choose what to take into your being – be it physical nourishment or emotional energy or even the kinds of books you read and entertainment you watch, for all has an impact on you.

Do you feel better for the experience? Does it nourish your soul?

The best growth-enhancing food for your soul is that which increases love. Finch Spirit Guide also brings a prediction of a celebration of happiness ahead of you – and wants you to know that your connection to the spiritual worlds is real, to trust in the messages you feel from the Universe as they make themselves known in your heart.

It’s a good time to experiment with how to best care for your mind, body and soul. It’s not about being perfect; it’s about finding what works best for you. You are in a phase of your life where giving back to yourself is important.

Perhaps you have been sharing a lot of yourself with others, have come through a challenging time or, in the near future, will be stepping up in a new way to share more creative energy and soul fire than ever before.

All that you need to know now is that it is the right time to take extra special care of you.

Woosah! Gorgeous guides for this week! Sending you massive hugs and squeezes, set your intentions under the Taurus New Moon, stop and smell the roses and ground yourself!

Equinox Rising: Balance, Blossoms & Bold New Beginnings.

Jenny Heston · 2:22 pm ·

Gorgeous Soul,

Okay, have to ask – are you going to wear green tomorrow? It is going to be Saint Paddy’s day after all!

It makes me chortle to see the people who pull out the green tee shirt saying something like “Kiss me I’m Irish”, and maybe 2% of their genetic makeup is Irish, lol.

As someone who is 50% Irish, I most certainly going to be wearing green and an Irish t-shirt!! (And no it doesn’t say kiss me!)

On Friday (March 20th), we welcome Ostara (Spring Equinox) , that most delicious place of change.

Ostara is named for the goddess Eostre (see the ties with the church!?)

Because Ostara celebrates and honours the spring equinox, it is – much like Easter – directly linked to many elements and symbols of springtime.

These include rabbits, chicks and birds in general, eggs, baby animals of all sorts, blossoms and flowers, fresh green grass and plants, the first fruit, vegetables and herb offerings of the season; light, warmth, and soft, bright colours.

It is an invigorating, terrific point to reach and one that encourages us to take our cues from nature and to focus on areas such as balance and harmony, planting new seeds and setting fresh goals in our lives, fertility (which can simply mean areas that we wish to have multiply.)

It is a time of growth, hopefulness, lightness of being and spirit, and things that warm our innermost hearts as much as the glorious spring sunshine does the outdoor world.

If you want to learn more, go deeper and explore this glorious energy there is the Ostara Magickal Guide (also known as OMG!).

The Equinox brings the time when light is perfectly balanced with the darkness.

This is a powerful time that represents seeds of intention, awakening, growth and rebirth.

It’s the perfect time to do some reflection and align yourself with the habits that will allow you to truly flourish this season.

So let me ask:-

How will you support yourself during this transition?

How will you grow, glow & flourish this spring?

What types of balance are you creating in your life?

What are the seeds that you want to plant for yourself?

Remember, this is the time of Beginnings, Fresh Energy, Setting Intentions and planting them with love and care.

What are you going to plant?

Equinox is a good time to consider balance in our lives, not only of happiness and sadness, but also of the areas in which we are active and passive, successful and falling short, giving and taking.

What are you receiving (and do you want to keep it)?

And what are you giving (and do you need to)?

It is said that on the Equinox, the energy grid of the planet moves into higher harmony, allowing us to soak in the healing powers of Mother Nature with greater ease.

With the energy grid of the planet alive and awakened, we can also replenish our own energy centres of the body and send our thoughts and intentions out into the Universe for creation.

So as mentioned before, if you want to dive deeper, learn some lovely rituals etc. give yourself a copy of OMG! (Ostara Magickal Guide).

Oh yes, and for those of you who have emailed and asked about Rooted information about it will be coming out soon, as there are many glorious things burbling.

Okay, enough chuntering, let’s crack on with the reading!

These are glorious new guides that I have been having a lot of fun with, so please let me introduce you to them.

“Banish “not enough” from your vocabulary. You have always been enough.

You deserve all the love you keep trying to give everyone else.

Listen to the dream song of your soul.

Let it remind you who you really are.”

So darling one, take a lovely glorious deep breath. Allow the energy of Ostara to swirl around you, teasing you, lifting up your hair and tickling your neck. What are your seeds? What are your intentions as we start this glorious season of Spring?

If you want to go deep. One of my gifts to you is a glorious guided Spring Equinox meditation/visualisation, to help you root into this time.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go take a look, shall we?

INDULGE THE WHIMSY

Play is at the heart of every creative endeavour.

Play creates meaning, increases resilience and promotes health. The secret to living an enchanted life is to remember playfulness.

It lives in you as a magnetic force, deeply influencing every creative thought, relationship, project or endeavour. If you want to breathe new life into the adult world of responsibilities and requirements, engage your play.

Climb a tree. Listen to a fountain. Sing with the birds. Allow yourself to spontaneously skip down the grocery aisle or stand outside in a rainstorm. Follow the fireflies.

Then, go one step further and put play on the schedule.

Prioritise it. Court the wonders of the natural world.

Now is the time to discover that you are one of those wonders.

FLY THE WINGS OF WORTHINESS

The days of doves descending from the sky with messages of peace and belonging are long past.

Today, your promise of “more” is delivered through the radiant women you meet. In the powerful sway of nature’s embrace. In the rush you feel when dancing or creating.

You encounter your own worthiness when you allow yourself to receive.

And when you allow yourself to walk away when someone denies reciprocity or can’t meet you in mutuality. This moment is about owning your worthiness, and doing the work to heal the places where it has been wounded.

Cultivating worthiness is important.

So is recognising where your worthiness is denied.

Get up from the table when love is no longer being served. Go outside. Look up. The doves are circling, as is new belonging.

You are equal to and worthy of every beauty the heavens bestow.

BRAVE THE JOURNEY

Now is the time to journey. Say yes. Explore.

It’s time for travel, adventure and the unknown.

You travel not to discover new places, but to meet the new you created while experiencing those places.

If it’s not an outward journey beckoning, turn inward and explore the stunning vistas, lost horizons and secret forests of the psyche.

Living in the mind alone is akin to owning a castle, but restricting yourself to the broom closet.

Don’t settle for what others have told you of adventure. Pursue your own, right now.

There is only one way to unfold your own myth, and that is to be willing to brave the unknown.

Wowzer, those were glorious guides. So my delicious lovely, another free gift is a beautiful ritual to plant your Seeds of Intention. Equinox blessings and see you next week! Remember to get your Ostara Magickal Guide!

March Magic: Birth, Blood Moons & Building Resilience!

Jenny Heston · 2:22 pm ·

Dear Glorious Soul,

Whoot! Whoot! March is here and I am thrilled (trust me if you could see the happy dance I am doing you would laugh).

It’s the first Monday of March (frigging love March), as we head to Spring Equinox, we are slowly coming out of hibernation, the flowers are popping up and there is that sense of promise and hope in the air. (Aren’t those delicious words right now?)

Why am I so pumped about March – because Spring Equinox is almost here!!! Now you may be shaking your head and thinking – yeah, so what Jenn. Oh little one, Spring Equinox is a huge energetic time as it’s the time of Birth. The Birth of ideas, goals, desires and dreams – it is positively delicious.

Now you be thinking – I don’t have the energy for that as the world feels like it is in chaos. I totally get it, as yes, there is a lot of fear, chaos, and downright garbage being pumped out.

However, more than ever this is the time to Birth the new, the communities, the dreams and that is where Resiliency comes in.

As to step into our power and our gifts we have to be practicing resilience more than ever in today’s climate!

What does it mean to be resilient?

Resilience means being able to adapt to life’s misfortunes and setbacks.

To stand in your centre from a place of truth and Sovereignty and calm whilst chaos swirls around you.

Funnily enough for the last couple of months this theme has been coming in and offering me insights.

Then in the wee hours of March 1st (the White Rabbit day in my world), I woke up at 2am and got a massive download about Resiliency.

So with the approaching Equinox – the time of Birth, desires and dreams. It seems the perfect time to offer a glorious course that can be done as a home study or as a group study on Resilience.

And by Resilience I mean, physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and most certainly the nervous system!

What does it mean, how to embody it and how to integrate it into your day to day so that you hold your centre, stand in your truth and Sovereignty and move forward with calm and ease.

So keep your eyes peeled (such a gross expression, where does it even come from?!), as there will be more information coming.

This week we have a Blood Moon Eclipse in Virgo.

Blood Moon Eclipses are incredibly potent cosmic events. They shake and rattle the fabric of our being, bringing endings, changes, and sudden shifts. They fast-track our growth and help accelerate any transformation already underway.

On March 3, we experience the final in a series of Blood Moon Eclipses that began last year. Blood Moon Eclipses tend to arrive in a set of three, and this is the third and final of the trio that started back in March 2025.

This final Blood Moon acts as a point of culmination and resolution.

Virgo energy encourages refinement and simplicity, helping us separate what is essential from what is no longer necessary. Under this Eclipse, we may feel called to simplify our lives in both practical and emotional ways.

Virgo reminds us that healing often happens through small and steady changes.

Virgo energy also highlights our mind-body connection, so this Eclipse may heighten our awareness of how stress or emotions have been stored physically and where we may be pushing too hard. We may feel called to support ourselves through rest, nourishment, or gentle care.

To practice Resiliency!

The March energy is about coming from the Heart (which is key energy in this 1/10 year).

The heart needs to take the reins and, using its intuitive intelligence, then set a direction that is aligned with your emotional truth and values.

Which totally ties in with Equinox and living from a place of Resiliency!

Okay, enough chuntering on, let’s go meet your guides for this week.

So darling one, just relax for a moment. Give your shoulders a wiggle, move your jaw from side to side and take a glorious deep breath in and then sigh it out. With the energy of March swirling around you, breathe into your heart. See it strong, calm, true and at ease. Then when you are ready pick the card or cards that make you tingle.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a peek, shall we?

VAST VISTAS

Nomads, Steppes of Mongolia

We are visiting Mongolian nomads on the plateau of central Asia, an area currently landlocked between China and Russian Siberia.

Here, the sky is incredibly expansive. It feels like we can see forever on these vast vistas.

We feel a sense of freedom here as we travel with a tribe following their reindeer. These nomadic people have lived here for thousands of years, migrating the immense grassy plains, mountainous regions, upland steppes, and deserts of Mongolia.

Every time we stop, we set up a camp. In the middle of the night, when we step outside the yurt, it seems that there can be no other place with such a vast expanse of the heavens.

In the morning, as we stomp our feet on the ground to warm up, the horizons seem to stretch in every direction, seemingly all the way to eternity.

Widen your horizons to see the bigger picture.

This is not the time to think small. Think outside the box.

There is the potential of big changes ahead. Be willing to be unconventional in projects, relationships, and ideas. Know that you can choose any direction you desire, but before you go forward, look in all directions to see the potential outcomes.

Vast vistas are ahead for you. It’s easy to get caught up in the small details of life and forget the bigger view.

This is a time of expansion and even a time of travel and new adventures.

If you receive an opportunity to travel, go for it.

If you can step into a different direction in life, don’t hesitate.

Take it!

COURAGE

Vikings in the New World

What an exciting adventure! We’ve landed in Newfoundland around the year 1000 C.E to visit the newly arrived Vikings.

We’re here with Leif Eriksson, watching his people prepare the foundations of a new settlement. As we walk through their community, we’re impressed by the vigor, physical strength, and grace of these men and women.

It seems to radiate from the center of their being.

What remarkable courage these early settlers had to cross the Atlantic Ocean in their longships – open-air, wooden boats – during huge storms and inclement weather.

They set forth without certainty about where they would land or when they’d get there.

Guided by the stars, the winds, and their connection to their gods, they travelled forward into the unknown.

There are times to hold back and deliberate about life, and times to move forward with passion, power and daringness.

If there is something you wanted to do or say or act upon, now is the time to go forward.

Don’t back down; face your fears.

Act on your impulse now, and success will follow.

Being courageous doesn’t mean that you are not at all afraid. Being fearless means just that – to fear less. There are no certainties about the outcomes, but be willing to take a risk and step forward anyway.

Be resolute in honouring your truth, and speak up for yourself. Live with passion!

As a warrior of the light, you must step beyond self imposed limitations to be a way shower for others.

Through you, others will be inspired to find and act upon their truth.

Trust that you are unstoppable.

EXPANSION

Planet Jupiter

Today we are time travelling to the planet Jupiter. What a ride it is!

As we land, we can feel our muscles strengthening in its strong gravity field.

Even though Jupiter is physically uninhabitable by humans, the mystic energy here is remarkable. You and I are both in awe of Jupiter’s 79 incredible moons.

Everything feels so stunningly expansive – understandably so, as this planet is 318 times as massive as our own planet.

In Roman mythology, the god Jupiter, for whom the planet was named, was considered to be sky god and king of the gods. (In Greek mythology, he was known as Zeus.)

In astrology, Jupiter is connected with principles of growth, expansion, healing, prosperity, good fortune, and miracles.

Your life is expanding in profound and wondrous ways.

Vitality and wide open opportunities are at hand. Focus on what you desire to increase in your life, and let it flow to you. Timing is everything, and the time is now, so seize the day!

Anything and everything is possible.

If there is anything in your life that you want to expand, this is the time to nurture it.

Good fortune, growth, expansion, healing, prosperity, and miracles await you.

Activate this escaping power and activity by believing that anything is possible……..and it is.

Focus on your deepest dreams and allow the energy of Jupiter to propel you.

Ready?

Woosah! Glorious guides as we step into March. So darling one, take time this week to do things that nourish you and bring you back to centre. Turn off the TV and the news, reach out to a friend, go for a walk. Be gentle with your gorgeous self and keep your eyes peeled for more information on Rooted.

Massive hugs and squeezes,

Cold Nights, Soft Hearts, Strong Spine.

Jenny Heston · 1:11 pm ·

Dearest Gentle Reader,

(Yes… I’m still loving how that sounds.)

We are at the tail end of February and holy hannah — what a whizz-bang of a month. The collective feels noisy, tender, chaotic. Winds whipping. Opinions flying. Hearts a little frayed.

And here on the West Coast, Mumma Nature is putting on her own dramatic flair. Temperatures have dropped, atmospheric rivers are rolling in, and it is properly cold and wet. The kind of cold that seeps into your bones when you’re out walking the doggos and the rain is coming at you sideways.

And yet… I get to come home.

I get to turn on the kettle.

I get to peel off wet layers and wrap myself in warmth.

What if you can’t?

February 28th marks The Coldest Night of the Year Walk — a national movement that began in 2011 to raise funds and awareness for homelessness and poverty. The funds support local charities doing the real, gritty, heart-forward work: food, clothing, shelter, programmes, dignity.

On Valentine’s Day, I walked through encampments handing out little love packages of cookies. I listened to stories. Hard stories. An elderly couple in their 80s, newly on the street because their rent was tripled. Let that land.

There is no turning away once you’ve looked into someone’s eyes.

It reminds me how profoundly blessed I am. How blessed most of us are. And how fragile “security” can be.

Community is not optional. It is essential.

Smile at someone.

Have the conversation.

Offer what you can — even if it is simply your time and presence.

We are interconnected whether we acknowledge it or not.

(Alright, stepping gently off my soapbox now.)

And as if the earthly weather wasn’t enough, the cosmic weather is also shifting.

Mercury stations retrograde from February 26 to March 20 — entirely in mystical Pisces.

But this one feels different.

Not chaotic. Not glitchy. Not “hide your emails.”

More like: descend inward.

When Mercury retrogrades in Pisces, we are invited beneath the surface — into dreams, intuition, memory, and the subtle realms. This isn’t about fighting delays; it’s about listening more deeply.

The question becomes:

What spiritual insight needs revisiting so my intuition can clarify?

And this retrograde doesn’t stand alone.

It unfolds in the heart of eclipse season — revelation energy.

It follows the rare Saturn–Neptune conjunction at 0° Aries on February 20th — dissolving old structures and seeding entirely new paradigms.

It swims fully in Pisces — amplifying sensitivity and access to the unseen.

There is profound shifting happening. Above. Below. Within.

If February has felt turbulent, perhaps it is not chaos — perhaps it is recalibration.

Both the earthly cold and the cosmic tides are asking the same thing:

Come back to what matters.

Care for one another.

Listen deeply.

Anchor in compassion.

We walk each other home.

Now with me chuntering on, let’s crack on with the reading.

I invite you to take a moment to stop, to pause, to breathe in those aspects of safety, comfort and connection that we often take for granted. Close your eyes and ask your wise inner self what it is YOU need to hear this last week of February?

When you are ready, pick the card or cards that resonate and call to you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go see, shall we?

ANGELS OF THE FOUR DIRECTIONS

Uriel, Raphael, Michael & Gabriel

The light of an angel reaches out in every direction. This reveals the dynamic presence of archangels Uriel and Raphael.

Ureil, the angel of the north, is a source of immensely valuable inspiration.

So call on Uriel to leave any dark confusion behind and bring the insight you require at this time.

So invite his presence to help resolve your love and relationship issues and to bring the physical healing you desire.

The energy of this angel is so powerful, he is often called the Miracle Worker.

I invite the power and wonderful energy of .(name the angel). I ask for help and healing concerning (name the issue), and I give thanks.

HAPPY SUCCESS

The Wish is Fulfilled

A man stands in a flowering field with his arms stretched out, happily looking up at the sky.

It’s raining beautiful gems, silver coins, and droplets of bright light.

He is clearly filled with joy about the abundant blessings coming his way.

Happiness is a choice, as is the consciousness of success.

When you live in these mental attitudes, it’s only a matter of time before you, too, are showered with the blessings you desire.

This is a time of joy and abundance for you. This may be in the form of wealth, love, or business achievement.

The promise here is that the wish you’ve been dreaming about is coming your way.

So open up to the success in your heart and to the happiness already in your life – and get ready for much more to come!

I focus on the beauty and success of my spirit. The world is abundant, and I know that wonderful things are coming my way.

Woosah! Glorious messages, interesting energy and an important reminder about community. Sending you huge love and hugs. Wish me luck as I walk on Coldest Night of the Year.
