Tenderly Fierce: A Thanksgiving Reflection for Your Whole, Glorious Self.

Gorgeous Soul,

How was your New Moon?

And yes — for those of you watching the sky and the calendar (I’m looking at you, Alice!) — Mercury Retrograde truly does end on November 25th. Yes. It ends.

We can all exhale. ✨

To all my beautiful American friends: Happy Thanksgiving!

I must confess… it still feels a bit curious to have Thanksgiving nestled so close to Christmas, but honestly? I’ll celebrate anything worth celebrating. And I find most things — if you look closely — are worth celebrating.

Winter Solstice, Summer Solstice, Equinoxes, New Moons, Full Moons, Chinese New Year, Easter, Valentine’s…
The first flower after a long grey winter.
The soft sigh of snow.
A ray of sun breaking through the clouds.
Even the simple pleasure of fresh blossoms on my desk on a rain-drenched morning.

For me, life hums with reasons to say thank you.

And I’ve learned to honour those nudges, those small invitations, those whispers of delight.

But as the holiday season edges toward us — glittering, noisy, complicated — expectations can rise like a tide. Comparison shows up uninvited. Old patterns tap us on the shoulder. And we can find ourselves stretched thin in a dozen directions.

Which reminds me I want to share a funny story (which does tie in with all of this).

If you remember, last week I sent out a post about the New Moon in Scorpio, Mercury Retrograde & the Power of the Dark Moon.

There was a lot of information in that post, so to try and make it succinct there were parts that were bullet points (made sense to me). Yet I received a few comments or judgements saying “You use AI. You have lost your soul.”

Wow! Okay, I have been doing these readings for over 14 years, and I write all the content and my glorious Spiritual Posse picks the cards and guides the whole shenanigans!

So instead of taking it personally I reminded myself – I have healthy boundaries and I have fully claimed all the pieces of me.

So let me ask you something gently, honestly:

Do you give yourself permission to hold healthy boundaries… to speak your truth with compassion… to tend to your own inner hearth?

And if you don’t — why not?

This past week I’ve had heartfelt conversations with people who are luminous, wise, and wholehearted — and yet their boundaries are quietly overrun by family, friends, partners, colleagues.

And their beautiful hearts absorb the aftermath: overwhelm, resentment, regret, the ache of feeling unseen.

As I listened, I kept returning to a phrase that has been walking beside me for months:

Tenderly Fierce.

That sacred place where your heart stays open — tender, vulnerable, receptive —
while you fiercely honour your boundaries, your truth, your energy, your sacred yes and your sacred no.

It is softness with sovereignty. Compassion with clarity. Love with edges.

Yes. Yes. YES.

Now, you may be thinking: “Jenn… boundaries? During the holidays?”

Oh, sweetheart — especially during the holidays.

Boundaries are not walls.
They are invitations into right relationship — with others, yes, but also with yourself.
When we don’t honour them, we lose our centre.
We leak energy.
We silence our needs.
We abandon ourselves.

And you deserve better than that.

You deserve to hear your own voice — clearly, kindly, courageously — whether you’re naming your limits, expressing gratitude, speaking your truth, acknowledging your pain, or choosing rest when everything around you clamours for more.

There was a time when I wasn’t embracing all the parts of me either. I tucked away the messy ones, the uncertain ones, the ones I judged.

But ritual, reframe, mindset, and magick pulled me gently back. Piece by piece, I’ve been sewing my whole self together. And oh… it feels like coming home.

We are all mosaics — light and shadow, brave and scared, fierce and tender, grounded and fragile.

Every piece belongs.

As Brené Brown so beautifully reminds us:

“The irony is that we attempt to disown our difficult stories to appear more whole or more acceptable, but our wholeness — even our wholeheartedness — depends on the integration of all our experiences, including the falls.”

So here is my invitation to you, wherever you are in the world:

Give thanks for every piece of yourself.
Even the ones you hide.
Even the ones you judge.
They are your medicine — your wisdom — your story.

Then, with a full breath, call into your mind all the people, moments, and miracles you’re grateful for — past, present, and those shimmering in the future.
One by one, let them arise.
Smile at each.
And blow them a kiss.

Imagine that kiss becoming a golden butterfly that drifts toward that person, memory, or part of yourself — landing softly on their cheek with your blessing, your love, your acknowledgement.

That’s the kind of gentle magick this season asks of us.

Now enough chuntering from me, let’s crack on with the reading. When I went to the cards to ask who would like to be present this week it made my heart smile to see who showed up. The amazing Faery Blessing guides were most adamant. As after all, who doesn’t need a Blessing?

So gorgeous one take a breath. Just a normal breath and then as you carry on breathing allow it to slow down. Breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth.

Allow in your mind’s eye a rising of your gorgeous heart, your voice and a beautiful circle of silver light around them. Allow this silver light to grow stronger, with you in the center and let that space be filled with all the things you are thankful for. Let the silver circle become a delicious healthy boundary.

As you breathe just let it swirl, you don’t have to control it.

Then with this energy pick the card or cards that call to you. What Blessing is for you this week?

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go see what Blessing you picked, yes?

A BLESSING ON THE HEART’S CALLING

The Faery Gift of Living from the Truest and Most Pure Call of the Heart

For faeries, what the heart wants, in its purest form, is the right thing to desire. But for humans, we have long practiced smothering the heart with the voice of reason, most often not our own voice, but the voices of others, of cultures and governments and of groups of people who fear nothing so much as hearing the heart’s deep call. And so, with this gift of the faery comes the gift of hearing again the heart’s deep call and having the courage and commitment to follow it, no matter where it may take us.

The heart’s deep call will never drive us to a destructive relationship or a hurtful scenario. It is not going to sacrifice our spirit to the making of money or the stifling of creativity. The heart’s deep call, the true call, is beyond this, and will only take us in the direction of the dreams we are meant to fulfil this lifetime.

The faeries can now, with this gift, slowly lift the mist that covers the shining heart within you and open you up to that deep listening to your own self, and help you to value the song of the heart that has been singing to you since before you were born. For the faeries have heard the song of your heart, and have wondered at the difference between its call and the life you have lived thus far.

With this gift, your life will move more into accord with the heart, and you will begin to live from that deep, true place – with integrity, with fulfilment, without foolishness or following another, for your own heart will guide you and never ask you to sacrifice yourself to the creation of the dream of another.

The faery’s gift is of the heart’s deep call to you, friend. May its song bring you every blessing.

A BLESSING OF THE LIMINAL SPACE

The Faery gift of Gateways, Sacred Sites, Enchanted Times.

Dear Faery Friend, you have reached a great moment, the point where you can receive the blessing of the liminal space and time. The gateway, the moment, the choice is here. Let the liminal, the in-between, become more and more apparent to you.

May the blessings of the sunrises, with their dawn colours and sweet beginnings, be yours. And may the sunsets, with their richness and splendour and their message of coming rest be yours, too. May the in-between spaces, the places where the faeries can reach you so easily, and where you can discover your own inner magick be yours.

To be blessed with the liminal is to be blessed with the deeper magick of the natural world, to have the ability to step outside of human rush and stress and worry and deeply experience the quiet spaces within nature that are so often offered, yet o rarely accepted.

Find yourself within the sacred grove, with the old, wise trees; find the space between the worlds and walk a while with the guides and faery kin who love you and wish to be of assistance to you.

Find your way into the magick of your own life and soul, and leave behind the push and stress that strips the world of its magick. May your intuition flow easily and accurately, may there be a sense of deep peace and trust with the world, and may you know that there is an abundant well of magick and faery wisdom awaiting you, every day, every hour, within these sacred spaces and places.

Find the space in between, find the magick that dwells within, find the faery circle in the field, and let yourself be blessed again and again with the blessings of the enchanted ones, the sacred spaces that lie all about us.

THE BLESSING OF THE MOTHERS

The Faery Gift of a Time of Unexpected Gifts and Wonderful Synchronicities.

When this blessing comes to you friend, you receive the blessing of the Mother, the ancient faery being of the land known today as Wales. With this blessing comes recognition for your own kindness and generosity, and so now you will find yourself blessed with the unexpected gift.

The old tales tell us that the Mother will reward those who are kind and caring, especially those who care for the land and for the animals. And so to you they are sending a boon – a gift of treasure found in a hidden place, a warm cloak on a cold day offered by a stranger, money readily coming to you in strange and lovely ways, and ease of suffering in an area you thought had no hope.

The blessings of the Mothers are unpredictable, as they will see your own life and what they will bring to you is what your soul most needs to feel solace and blessings. If you have felt like there has been a run of “bad luck”, this will now lift and transform into an effortless flow of all that is good.

Every small kindness you have offered others will now flow back to you. And in mysterious ways, you will see how what was once done of simple goodness is now returning to you, threefold.

For the faeries see you, know you, and acknowledge your heart, and the Mothers are now with you, to bring you the bendith y mamau – the gifts of the Mothers – so when they appear, give thanks, and know that nothing goes forgotten and unseen in the realm of the enchanted ones.

Blessings, and may the gifts of the Mother bring you comfort and goodness, friend.

Oh how deliciously perfect for this moment in time! So gorgeous bean, I wish for you a most glorious week. Use your voice, practice your boundaries and know that you are sooooo worth it. Happy Thanksgiving! Sending you huge hugs and squeezes. See you next week.

Simplicity and The Leo New Moon.

Jenny Heston · 3:33 pm ·

Happy Magickal, Musical, Muscular, Moony, Manifesting Monday!

Sorry there was no reading last week, but I retore my quad again and I will say – I was fucking foul!

Thus, when my guides and I had a chat about the reading they laughed at me and advised me I was too toxic to share with others (rude!)

I have had a lot of conversations over the last few weeks with clients and friends about “Simplicity”, peeling away all the superficial artifices and really tapping into values, beliefs, creativity and living in a much simpler, more authentic way of life.

A more aligned way of living. Aligned with our heart and soul.

We get so conditioned that we have to do things a certain way and we “should” (frigging hate that word), have these things and be this way. But why if it doesn’t bring us joy?

What if we spent more time remembering to play, to pause and to be real with all facets of ourselves?

That is the energy of this gorgeous New Moon in Leo this week.

“The Leo New Moon on July 24, 2025, is our invitation to stop overcomplicating things.

With the Lion as our spirit guide, we’re being called back to simplicity. This is a time to bring ease into our lives.

It’s a time to remember who you are when you stop trying so hard to be everything to everyone. It’s a time to embrace your inner Lion and the strength, confidence, and presence it commands.

Both Pluto and Eris will be stirring tension under this New Moon, inviting challenges around power and control, but there is a breakthrough on offer if we are willing to let go and invite simplicity.

Leo energy is about heart, courage, and authenticity. There’s nothing small about Leo. Yet, contrary to the drama and grandeur often associated with this sign, the highest vibration of Leo is simplicity. Like the lion, who doesn’t try to prove its power, we are being asked to strip back the noise and return to what’s real and essential.

With so much energy around control and power dynamics stirring under this New Moon, we are being called to look at how we may be micromanaging our situations, routines, habits, relationships, or even our spiritual practice. This Moon reminds us that the more we try to grip, the more we lose our freedom and the further out of alignment we travel.

If we think of the Lion, we can see there is a quiet confidence in simplicity. No need to prove, push, or perfect, just being is enough. This is the heart of Leo wisdom, and tapping into this can help us navigate the harsher energies of this New Moon.”

So how can you Simplify things right now?

What needs to be pruned or put to the side?

I like to think of Simplifying as gardening.

In other words, there are things that are growing in my garden that shouldn’t really be there as they are crowding out all the things that were planted with purpose.

So I gently pull them out, give them a blessing and toss them in the compost!

Life is the same.

And on that note let’s crack on with the reading shall we?

Thus my gorgeous one, take a moment. Just let your breath naturally slow down, relax your shoulders and jaw. As you start to relax I invite you to see in your mind’s eye the energy of Simplicity and the power of the Lion. What do you want to keep? What do you want to release? If you need a little more support dropping into that energy I have a lovely little guided visualisation for you.

Then, when you’re ready, pick the card or cards that make you tingle and get curious.

Did you remember to pick?

Then let’s go have a good gander shall we?

LITTLE OWLYN

Wisdom is not heavy, harsh, or cruelly given. Wisdom is as simple as being open and ready to receive – and if you are ready, if you have decided that you are worthy and willing to learn, this great horned owl, my other self, wishes for me to give you a feather.

This feather is a talisman of magick, of wisdom that endures and can be applied again and again. Its power and wisdom will never run dry or fail to speak words of wisdom to you when you hold it in your mind’s eye. The tide will go in and out, but this featherlight piece of wisdom remains with the golden sun, and this wisdom will never fade or grow into a heavy burden, as some knowledge does.

You will wonder what to do at times, because things have changed. But this soft wisdom will speak to you again, and you will find your way. Wisdom is not heavy, crushing, or forceful. This is the truth – this wisdom is soft, light, and to be treasured. It is our gift to you now. Stay still. Give us your hand. And feel the gift that we wish to share with you. Feel the wisdom flow into you. Ahhhhh, lightness.

You will be able now to see more clearly, even when there is no light around you. Night will hold no fears for you. You will hear clearly what people are truly saying when they are speaking with you – their words’ true meanings will be utterly apparent immediately. You will be able to move suddenly and grasp your fate quickly when this helpful being comes to share your life – she is both faery and owl, a shapeshifter in form, and as swift and clear as the rain.

BROTHER RACCOON

Raccoons speak of stealth, remaining undercover, and flying under the radar. Raccoons suggest you take cover, work with camouflage, and stay in the in-between places for a time in order to remain safe. Do not reveal who you are, what you do, or your new idea or project to all. Too often we share what we are planning out loud, giving all, even ourselves, the impression it is already done. It is not.

It needs careful protection, but mostly you need to not draw attention. It does not mean you have to be furtive or sneaky, though some will call it so. It means to quietly get on with your day-to-day and the very soulful business of change without showing everyone every detail along the way. You have far to go – at this early stage it is not advisable to share all. There is a sacred part of you that must be protected, for it could easily be exhausted and exploited by those who will be very quick – even quicker than you – to recognise the value of what you have.

In order to survive, sometimes you must hide, camouflage, or mask yourself from those who would know our true nature and exploit you. Like a precious plant when snow falls, you must go underground, huddle in your seed, and keep quiet and safe from those who would take you and cultivate you and your amazing self for their own reasons.

This is not a time to allow yourself to be used by others for their own agendas.

Do not think of this hiding or melting into the forest as cowardice; it is wise to go to ground for a time now. In order for you, your ancestry, your bloodline, and anything cherished and rare to live on, you sometimes must hide it away for a time, bringing it forward later so that you flourish.

ORCA MAGICK

Orcas are the brilliant, physical, living reservoirs of Earth and galactic history. They are the carriers of wizards on their backs, according to Norse myth, meaning they carry the great sage lines of transformation and transmutation, and can pass this lore along.

They hold this history in the patterns of their ancient songs.

One day we will translate the songs and understand our own past times. Their bodies, those huge, resonating cavities, store the history of the planet herself. They travel the world’s oceans, singing, clearing, and awakening the energy grid again and again, preserving, reviving, renewing ancestral lines that need to be in place for this planet to be whole and well, now and in the future.

Earth is currently undergoing a vast initiation. Some have called this an ascension, although what it truly is has nothing to do with high or low, but with an integration of more dimensions, fully awakening your DNA and charging your auric field to a more powerful capacity. Healing, materialising into new forms, and creating will be greatly enhanced at this time.

You are a keeper of galactic mysteries and you have a strong starperson connection. Starpeople are connected to the growing need to connect to the galactic web, which we are a vital part of. It is time to take yourself outside and gaze up into the night sky. Learn about the constellations you can view from your home. Tune in to the worlds beyond this world, and ask that they connect with you in healthful ways.

Whales can assist with intergalactic travel (without physically leaving the planet), seal and repair any wounds or tears in your energy field, and return to you the parts of your soul that you may be unaware are even missing.

Wow, wow, wow. What gorgeous guides to help us with this glorious New Moon. Sending you massive hugs and squeezes. Be gentle with yourself and take the time to peel back the stuff that you’ve taken on without realising it.

Summer Solstice is here and Goodies Galore!

Jenny Heston · 3:33 pm ·

Dearest Gentle Reader,

Frigging love starting a post with that line! Summer Solstice, also known as Litha, arrives on Friday June 20th and the fire in you wants to burn with the sun.

To light up and beam out as far as humanly possible!

And why not?

Now you may be thinking to yourself, Jenny I have no clue what you are talking about or how to tap into the energy that is available to me!

Not a problem! There are two glorious goodies for you that will ignite your inner flame!

First off, I have you covered with the amazing Stupendously Abundant Summer Solstice guide. Fondly referred to as SASS, as who doesn’t like a little SASS.

She is a glorious 45 page guide that will walk you through it all with love and tenderness and help you ignite your own fire.

So let me ask – what words come to mind when you think of the Summer Solstice?

Thematically this celebration is about POWER, Strength, Illumination, Confidence, Energy, Self-acknowledgement, Joy and of course – glorious Faerie revels.

It’s time to celebrate and also time to reflect on your personal growth and the meaning of the season of light and growth.

This is the moment of our year when there is the most light available to you.

In terms of consciousness, it is when you are the most present to yourself and who you know yourself to be — the Sun represents the light of all life and consciousness.

At the summer solstice, a doorway in time opens, which our ancestors viewed as sacred and holy.

Litha is a grand portal of energy, space, and opportunity – a chance to let go of fears, doubts, and insecurities.

After the Sun reaches its maximum power, it begins to decline.

Slowly, the night force will grow stronger until its peak at the winter solstice.

Litha is the last chance in our calendar year to activate sacred intentions before moving into autumn and winter, the natural seasons of harvest and rest.

It’s a time to step out in faith and imagine what’s entirely possible for yourself. Dream an expansive vision for your life that will sustain you as the darkness slowly returns with the fall.

Which brings in the 2nd goodie!

After a lovely natter with my guides we are opening up 2 readings that are specific to Summer Solstice, which we haven’t done in two years! The first one is Stand in Your Power and the other one is Hot Mess!

Only 20 spaces will be open from now until the end of June for the Solstice/Litha energy.

Remember, like the Sun, you have your Inner fire.

Your Inner Fire is the fierce, powerful, badass part of you.

The You that does the hard work of bringing your dreams to life. In the same way that crops would cease to grow without the Earth’s sun, your life would shrivel without your Inner Fire.

So let’s ignite it so you can beam like the glorious beastie you are!

Okay, enough chuntering away.

Let’s crack on with the reading, shall we?

These are glorious guides to support you reconnecting with your Dream Song, Your Heart Song, Your Soul Song – your Inner Fire. Let their words and images wrap you in nourishment and niggle away deep inside.

So take a glorious deep breath gorgeous one, and then when you are ready pick the card or cards that resonate.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go take a little look-see, yes?

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 an amazing Solstice and huge blessings. Remember to grab your copy of SASS, or gift yourself or a friend one of the Solstice reading specials. Huge hugs!

Blood Moon Eclipse in Virgo, Mercury is about to go Retrograde, Resilience and Spring Equinox! Phew!

Jenny Heston · 2:22 pm ·

Happy Magickal, Merry, Moodling, Magnificent, Manifesting Monday!

I don’t know about you but the Spring Equinox and Eclipse energy are fully ramping up!

My dreams have been rather odd (cool, but odd) and my brain and body are making me really look at the seeds that I am intentionally planting, both figuratively and literally.

This week we get the glorious Virgo Blood Moon Eclipse on March 14th!

This is the first eclipse of the year and the season.

This is the perfect opportunity to assess, reflect and leave behind anything that is disturbing your balance or preventing you from achieving true harmony.

Now remember, eclipses uncover hidden emotions, beliefs, thought patterns and habits.

They bring to the surface the bits and bobs we have been either trying to stuff into an already over cramped closet, or have continually swept under a rug (and we wonder why the rug has a bump in the middle!)

So if you have been feeling agitated, emotional or as I like to refer to it – “itchy, twitchy and bitchy”, I’m not surprised.

With this being a Full Moon Eclipse. Imagine the energy of a Full Moon intensified by 100, that is the energy this brings. The releasing of a full moon, the uncovering of an eclipse and the deep, deep emotions of Virgo.

“With the Blood Moon in Virgo, we are invited to step into some of this Virgo consciousness and to remember that within us too, flows a river of wisdom, strength, and wholeness.

We are invited to connect with our inner being and to recognize that we have the power within to navigate whatever situation we may find ourselves in.

Returning to our own inner strength and intuition is going to be a powerful way to navigate this Eclipse energy.

Remember that we too, are an extension of God/Goddess and connected to all of the Universe. We are far more powerful than we have ever been led to believe.”

Then on March 15th Mercury goes retrograde.

Now instead of buying into the bad rap that Mercury retrograde gets, I invite you to weave it with the heart energy of this month, the blood moon eclipse energy and Equinox energy.

Take some time to slow down and re-lease, re-assess, re-imagine, re-create and re-member who the heck you are and what you want and why you want it.

(We are focusing on that in Flourish right now!)

Spring Equinox arrives in the Northern Hemisphere on March 20th.

Ostara (Spring Equinox) is that delicious place of change.

March has that energy of transition, caught between winter’s grasp and spring’s open arms.

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

It’s the time to re-lease the hold of winter and start planting your seeds of intention! This is a supremely powerful time to work with Mumma Nature’s energy.

Which all ties into the energy of this Month, the Full Blood Moon and how to step into our resilience.

And again, as I said – I have created a super yummy offering called Rooted in Resiliency, that you can do at your own pace with a community to share ideas with and that will be coming out next week along with more information on the Spring Equinox.

Okay, with all that being said – let’s crack on with the reading. When I went to the cards to ask who wanted to share their wisdom and insight with you this week, the glorious “Love Your Inner Goddess” guides came out big and bold. Now if these are new to you, please let me introduce them (as it would be rude not to).

“These guides have come to help you awaken and express your divine feminine spirit, to live from your heart, to empower your true self – and to discover your sacred rebel within, to say no to the voices of fear and hate and become a voice for love, truth and spirit on the earth. Living as a soul, with truth, takes real courage in this world. We are often taught to follow the rules and be a good boy or girl – and that if we do this, everything will be OK.

Your inner goddess thinks that is a bunch of nonsense. She wants so much more for you. She wants you to live a beautiful divine destiny. She will show you how to be a loving rebel, breaking the rules that go against your heart and soul, changing the game and playing from the heart. She’ll show you how to live the life that is meant only for you.

You are meant to stir up healing change and be a voice for what is wise, loving and true. There are issues in our own lives and the world that need to change, that need to be healed. Your inner goddess knows how to bring about healing change with love, playfulness, courage and dignity. She is a fearless minx who will help you dance, love, storm and laugh your way into a more beautiful world, created from the heart. “

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a gander shall we?

ON YOUR OWN TERMS

You are not the person you once were. You know it, but others might not always be ready to let the old you go so easily. Do not allow yourself to be shoved back into patterns of behaviour that are not true to who you are now. You have worked hard to grow and become this new self. Believe that she is more real than the old you, even if she is less familiar to others (and maybe even to you) at this stage.

All that will change, and what is new now will become familiar and easy for you to sustain in the near future. Be stubborn in a good way whilst you – and others around you – come to realise that the new you is the real you.

Others may offer their input, but when it comes down to it, it is you alone making your life decisions. Your choice may once have been to meet the expectations and honour the opinions of other people – but you are aware now that the best choices for you actually honour your own heart, irrespective of whether others understand your reasons or feelings.

You might have to practice not feeling guilty or selfish about choosing to live your life in the way that suits your soul. You might have to be patient with those around you who need some time to get out of the habit of expecting you to do as you are told. It may take some time for them to adjust to the way you are now, behaving and thinking based on your own inner guidance.

You now know that you don’t have to wait for permission. You get to choose how you want to feel, how you want to live, and who you want to be. You’re ready for the responsibility and sweet reward of living your life on your own terms.

WARRIOR GODDESS

This is not a time to play it safe, nor is it time to allow another to take the lead in your life. You need to believe in yourself and trust that the instincts guiding you are correct. If you need to take action, do it. Speak up: say yes; say no. Trust your inner truth completely.

Be bold.

The Universe will answer your boldest actions with affirmation, and you’ll move through the consequences of your actions with grace and courage, ending up exactly where you are meant to be.

You are ready. Life has been preparing you. Your experiences have made you stronger and wiser. You have spirit and you have courage. Believe in yourself! You are a Warrior Goddess, and empowered, divine woman.

Trust that your foundations are strong. Put your faith in the Universe. It has been your life coach and guide all along, helping you build up your inner resources, encouraging you to realise the power that has always been within you.

The Universe believes in you.

When you feel it is time to take a step, take it with confidence. When you ask for help from the Universe, ask with boldness and total confidence that your prayers will be answered in the best possible way. You have the right to require that your personal space be respected. You have divine permission and encouragement to claim your rightful place in the world. You are meant to say no to behaviour that is dishonest, manipulative and bullying.

The warrior goddess uses her sacred anger to set a boundary and speak her truth, not to attack another. She uses her inner fire to live with integrity, even if the right choices for her seem hard or frightening at the time. She knows that the Universe has her back, so she is willing to be true to herself no matter what.

She places integrity above all else. She knows that compromising her self-respect to win a battle will end up losing her the war.

YOU ARE THE LIGHT

You are going through a spiritual initiation. This is happening because you are ready for it, even if it doesn’t always feel that way. The way to pass this test is to rely on the light within you. Don’t let fear or doubt make you distrust the path ahead.

Don’t let fear or doubt make you distrust the path ahead. Don’t give in to despair or believe that things will not work out. You are learning to trust that the Universe knows what it is doing. There are great and beautiful things meant for you, and no matter what appears to be right now, they will come to you in the perfect way and at the perfect time.

Light is powerful. Some people don’t understand this. The fear in their hearts makes them cynical. That fear stops them from seeing what is true. In the absence of truth, they hold on to their judgements instead. They scoff at what they don’t understand. Be careful of allowing such people to influence you.

It’s not wise to take advice from people who are investing in creating pain. You can have compassion for them, but you must not underestimate how their negativity can taint your trust in the Universe. When we feel the light within us, when we trust in it, we are able to move beyond the fear and negativity that exists in this world. You have it within you to be that light.

The only thing that can trap you is the choice to believe in the negative and give in to the fear.

That’s not you, so don’t choose that for yourself. Don’t listen to people who would cause you to question the light. The light within you is the real you.

Be at peace, beautiful one, for the positive power of the light in you is stronger than any darkness. Keep your faith in the light. All will be well.

Holy Hannah, you seriously can not make this shit up! Releasing old patterns, being bold and being the light. Now more than ever we all need that! So delicious lovely, I wish for you a fabulous week filled with ease, joy and deep belly chortles. May you always remember how special and important you are and that the world needs YOU! Big hugs and squeezes.

See you next week where we dive into Ostara and Rooted in Resiliency.

New Moon in Pisces and the Coldest Night of the Year.

Jenny Heston · 3:33 pm ·

Dearest Gentle Reader,

(Yes, I know, I know – I just love how it sounds at the moment!)

We are coming to the close of February, holy hannah, another whizz bang month it feels like with a lot of turmoil and chaos swirling in the collective!

In fact it is the last Monday of February, can you believe it! And in usual Mumma Nature style the weather has gone bonkers! Winds of 90 km/hr have been sweeping through over and over, and atmospheric rivers galore!

In other words it is frigging breezy and wet (so please don’t tell me there is no such thing as global warming!)

Which made me think that it’s appropriate that across many communities nationally, February 25th is The Coldest Night of The Year Walk.

This walk started in 2011 to raise funds and awareness around homelessness (and I loathe the phrase “unhoused”) and poverty.

The funds all go to a local charity that is on the streets and helps to fund food, clothes, support and programmes for a very vulnerable part of our communities.

Having spent my Valentine’s Day wandering through various tent housing, sharing little love packages of gorgeous cookies, and listening to some very intense stories, I am so proud that we walk to acknowledge what we see, hear and witness.

There is no turning a blind eye and dismissing with judgement.

It reminds me how fucking blessed I am. How blessed most of us are!

With the intense winds that can literally blow me over and the torrential rain, when I’m out with the doggos it feels challenging, but I know that I have a warm home to go back to. I can turn on the kettle and make a nice cuppa and my clothes if wet, I can change.

But, what if all you have is a tarp and a concrete sidewalk?

What if there is no way to get warm and dry, let alone open your fridge or cupboard to select something to eat?

For many of us, if we go outside and it’s too cold or wet, we go back into the warmth.

Life holds no 100% guarantees at all, other than you are born, you die. And having listened to a wee couple in their 80s on Valentines that had been on the street for just over a month due to the landlord tripling their rent………..

It made my heart sad.

So remember, we are part of a collective (whether you recognise it or not). Smile at someone, take a moment to talk, offer what you can – even if it is only time.

But we are all interconnected and it’s important to be aware of that.

Okay, now I will get off my soapbox! Lol.

“The Pisces New Moon on February 27th brings the last lunar cycle of the astrological year and our official entrance into Eclipse Season.

Needless to say, this February New Moon will be an impactful one and will open a portal into one of the most transformative points of the year.”

This New Moon asks us to show up as our authentic selves and trust in the innate wisdom that lives within.

What do you do best? What are your gifts and talents? Take time to celebrate your skills and all you have mastered. Acknowledge where your gifts and talents lie- and don’t say you don’t have any!

We all have things we are innately good at. So, forget societal expectations and limitations, and go deeper. Reflecting on these is a good way to inspire conscious action under the New Moon.

So with both of those things to perk, how blessed you are and the New Moon let’s crack on with the reading.

These are glorious new guides and they were adamant they wanted to come play.

They bring the full energy of the Divine Mother, Mother Mary, the Divine Feminine – you name it and they most certainly have a lot to share.

So darling one, just take a moment. Take a moment to count your blessings, take a moment to understand that you are fully interconnected (even with the people you judge and don’t like). Just breathe. Allow your gorgeous heart to open and soften 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?

OUR LADY OF RIPENING ON THE VINE

“I ask you to surrender your future thinking to me. Although your future contains the promise of great blessings, do not let this distract you from the blessing I bestow upon you in this moment. I ask you to open your arms to my blessings in the here and now. You are the sweet fruit, heavy on the vine. The time for harvest has come. This is your time.”

Many of us who love the Holy Mother are dreamers. We might be practical and hard-working, attending to the details of daily life and spiritual consciousness, but we have hope in our hearts.

Yet that hope may be for the future – our future, that of our children, of our planet.

This hope is a precious light that is needed in the world. Yet our light of hope is also needed in the here and now.

We need to be living the Divine now, not only dreaming of a more divinely aligned life in a fantasy of the future.

Live your light now; to benefit yourself and the world with your presence. Now. Yes, we are always growing, yet there is a readiness within you now.

There is something within you, something of you, that is ready. Even if the immediate reality doesn’t match a fantasy that you have once held about how life would be when you would finally share more of yourself with the world, you are still ready and this is your time to shine.

The Mother asks you to honour the light that is ignited within you now, and to act upon it with utter faith. The dreamers are needed in this present moment, you see.

We can help the sacred becoming, the healing of the world according to the Divine Mother’s grace, by how we choose to be at this time.

Now is the time to trust. There is so much waiting for you in this moment.

Gather your harvest. Let your divine inheritance come to you now, as naturally as fruit ripening on the vine.

You are needed.

OUR LADY OF THE RESURRECTION

“The eternal light dwells in my heart and as you enter into my heart, held safe in my love for you, that light becomes visible to you. It will show you the way through any darkness, and help you understand the purpose of past suffering, so that you can let it go and be at peace, free from confusion, shame or doubt. There is divine purpose within all that is. You have been struggling and now it is time for rest. Step into the light of my heart now, beloved, and let the darkness go. The time is drawing near for your resurrection and release.”

It is a strange paradox that when we are truly open to life, we must be prepared to die many deaths before it is time for our physical life to end.

We might suffer the deaths of relationships, of ideals, of identities, even of certain hopes and dreams. If we can mourn these deaths, give them proper attention and due acknowledgment, grieving in whatever way is respectful and truthful, then those deaths become sacred sacrifices on the altar of new life.

If we try to rush past these many deaths, pushing them to one side out of fear that they may mean something terrible or frightening, then we will suffer more than needs be.

Perhaps we become fearful if we feel that we are not in control of life and cannot prevent its powerful unfolding, because we do not trust where life is leading us. Then too, we miss our chance to make a sacrifice and feel more connected with life, and with death as a natural part of life.

We don’t need to be scared, we can accept that they are signs that we are growing and life is flowing. We can even use them to gain confidence that a new direction, a new life, is calling us. There is always so much more to come. Always. No matter how old we may be, or how jaded we may feel at times, there is always boundless life awaiting us. All that is needed is a willingness for us to be open to receiving it.

Let Our Lady of Resurrection lift you up from even the deepest sorrow and gently urge you into new light, new understanding, and new life.

Take heed, beloved, your time of darkness is swiftly drawing to a close and a new day is soon to be upon you.

Breathe, trust, embrace.

OUR LADY OF THE ROSE CROWN

“You are my child and a royal divine being. I protect your spiritual deeping now, as you descend further into the living divine heart, and know all to be love. As the mysteries reveal themselves to you now, divine rapture awaits you. I shall keep you grounded and authentic, productive in the world that needs your light, even as I guide you into ecstatic communion with your holy nature.”

No matter where we think we are on our spiritual path, there is always somewhere, and something deeper to experience.

You are about to enter into another level of spiritual experience. This new level will be appropriate and healing for you – taking you naturally along in your spiritual progress.

What might be suitable for another is unlikely to be exactly right for you. Our Lady watches over you with all knowing tenderness and fierce protection. Only what you need, will come to you.

In order to be prepared, we might have to be challenged in a relationship that really stretches or breaks our heart. In that situation we are learning to love more unconditionally, to either let the relationship go or stay with it, depending on what is right for us.

We might experience weeks, months or even years of not really knowing, with any certainty, if we are on the right path or living the life we are supposed to be living. In that continued crisis, we are learning how to remain present, to remain open and to learn to trust, even in the absence of clarity.

Or perhaps everything in our life seems to be upside down; a loved one is struggling, or our own inability to resolve an issue that has troubled us deeply for some time, and is causing us to feel almost unbearable anguish.

No matter what the crisis or challenge, the way that we learned to respond and grow through it provided us with the development that we needed to be able to sustain the next level of divine experience.

Love is the most powerful force in our universe. It is in everything and reveals itself in unlimited ways.

To encounter this love, to be open to it, ready to receive it and be changed, illuminated, irradiated by it.

Our Lady of the Rose Crown comes to tell you that you have been in preparation and now the time is fast approaching, or is already upon you, whereby you are opening to more divine realisation. No matter what you may initially think, what you are being shown right now is more of the divine in its mysterious, creative, funny and unfathomable genius.

You truly are a magnificent royal child of the Divine. Own it!

Wowzer, wowzer, wowzer – you can’t make this shit up!

Sending you huge blessings and love as we close the month of February down. I invite you to allow your feelings to rise and be released, cleanse your heart and your mind and remember – you are here for a reason! There is something you are meant to share, so please do.
