Taurus New Moon, May Energy and Mothers Day!

Happy Magickal, Merry, Misty, Mischievous, Magnetic, Manifesting May Monday!

How are you delicious lovely? How was your Beltane experience?

I made a lovely offering to the Fae of crystals, sunflower seeds, red wine and shiny coins. I noticed a good chunk of the red wine was gone the next morning.

So either there were some tippled faeries flying around or a tipsy racoon!

Okay my darlings, we have lots to natter about this week. We have the New Moon in Taurus, a big shift in May energy and of course Mothers Day all coming up this week.

So grab a cuppa and get settled.

First off, thank you for all your lovely shares about the Beltane gift – over 300 of you downloaded it and shared your experiences! Love it!

But before we kick off everything; for those who have asked about Flourish – there are only a few spots left.

The doors close on Mothers Day and we start the following week.

So if you have been sitting on the fence and umming and ahhing, to be blunt – it’s time to piss or get off the pot! Lol.

Remember, we are in the Year of the Wood Dragon and an 8 year – 8 is the number that takes everything and amplifies it!

It’s the year to really step into your power, your strength and there will be lots of lessons about having the courage to be yourself and to think outside the box.

If you have been a people pleaser, wowzer, there are going to be lots of lessons around this to help you finally release this pattern.

So this is where the invitation for you is to really tune in, own your worth, get comfortable with uncomfortable emotions, and be a very active participant in creating your life (not a stand on the side victim).

Okay, let’s have a look at this week.

On Tuesday the 7th we have the Taurus New Moon in our skies.

“After the transformative waves of Eclipse Season, the Taurus New Moon on May 7th, anchors us into a place of nourishing stability.

We may feel the rising importance to slow down, ground our energy, and make time for stillness. Much may have changed and much may be in flux, but the welcoming energies of the New Moon guide us to rest, recharge, and find our centre.”

How can we create a cycle of nourishment in our own lives?

How can we bring balance to the flow of giving and receiving?

Creating this harmony really begins with us and our inner state of being.

Next up we have the May energy shift into one of “MENTAL CLARITY AND INSPIRATION”.

Let’s let the amazing Lena share her wisdom on this theme.

We have just been through an energetic and emotional centrifuge and this month we get to sort out what is left and more importantly what we value and what is important to us.

There may have been losses, changes, disappointments, new opportunities, sudden reversals, shocking news, situations better than expected and situations more challenging than planned for.

It has been a lot, our plates are full, and now we need to take the time to reflect, review, reassess, and reset, with the goal being some mental clarity and new inspiration about our purpose and next steps.

It is a time of observing self and others with patience and receptivity. What are you manifesting? If it is more of the same as in the past that you intended to change, then you still have work to do.

The greatest obstacle this month is fear. We have a collective fear of the unknown, fear of being victimised, losing our freedom, abandoned, restricted, and at the deepest level annihilated.

This fear can quickly eliminate any inspiration for what is possible in the unknown of the future.

The antidote for fear is trust and connecting to the larger picture of evolution, the magnificent structure and organisation of the universe and the grounding and nurturing aspect of the earth.

Are you seeing how all the energies meld like a glorious pot of soup?

Hence why the doors to FLOURISH opened at this time! (and no, you can’t make this shit up.)

Sunday the 12th brings in Mothers Day.

For me personally, it’s irrelevant if you have birthed children or not. As we have all at some point in time nurtured, mentored, supported a child – whether they were ours or not.

I will be honest, I have learned so much from my five children – they have taught me amazing lessons, given me a lot of angst, and helped me to grow up.

I also realise that Mother’s Day can be challenging for some as there are so many energies that float around that day, there’s:- love, frustration, loss, grief, disconnect, yearning, joy, expectations, connection, being invisible – and so very many more.

It reminded me of years ago when I was in a lovely Kundalini yoga class and my most amazing mentor invited us to bring in our Mother, to feel that energy of safety, unconditional love and peace.

Well, I have to say that was not what happened for me by any stretch, instead it brought up loss, abandonment, grief and some very dark emotions which had me sobbing the whole way through class! (Gotta love how energy moves).

Afterwards I went up and shared with her my experience and she could really hear how that didn’t feel safe inviting that person in. So instead she invited me to bring in someone who represented that mothering energy instead – so the next time I happily brought in my Great Aunt, another Aunt and a lovely older female friend.

Which in turn created a totally different experience!

So remember:-

“Let everything that needs to go, go. Let everything that needs to come, come. “

On that note, let’s crack on with the reading.

So gorgeous one, breathe. Just breathe, BE and allow yourself to relax, your mind to calm, your breath to slow and ask your wise inner self – what do I need to know this week. Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that tug at your heartstrings – don’t let your mind pick!

Did you remember to pick?

Shall we go have a look?

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, come join us in Flourish and ground yourself!

How Are Your Boundaries and Bandwidth on this Full Moon?

Jenny Heston · 3:33 pm ·

Happy Moon filled, Marvellous, Magnetic, Meritorious, Manifesting Monday!

Interestingly enough I wasn’t going to do a reading this week, but my guides (or posse as I call them were super frigging clear – they needed to talk, they needed to talk about bandwidth, boundaries, self worth and so much more – so here we are.)

But first let me say thank you for all the wishes, love and healing vibes – my ribs are slowly mending and I am feeling more like myself! Now here’s a question for you……

Let me ask, on this Gemini Beaver Full Moon, how is your bandwidth?

This post may be triggering for some people and I can appreciate that and it may piss some people off and I can appreciate that. Always remember, how you react is your choice.

Now what do I mean by that word “bandwidth” exactly?

Bandwidth is the measurement of your emotional, mental, spiritual and physical energy that you have available for you.

Here’s a really easy mathematical example to help you with this concept. (A concept I learned about 20 years ago when working with Caroline Myss).

You wake up every morning and you have $100 worth of energy to spend in your day.

As you stumble out of bed and into the shower, you run through your to-do list and your shoulders drop as there are some people you don’t want to interact with – but you need to. There goes $25.00 of your energy.

As you make your coffee, you turn on the tv and the news is blaring. Hundreds of people are dying in the war between Israel and Gazza. Women and children are being killed, hospitals are being bombed – your mind immediately grabs onto that and starts trying to make sense. And disappears down a rabbit hole, there goes another $40.00 of your energy budget.

As you move through your day and encounter people (who too have limited bandwidth) and are sharp, not listening, don’t even see you. There goes another $35.00 of your energy budget.

So guess what? You have just spent your energy budget on the past, the rabbit holes and trauma. (Harsh I know).

Now, if you are an empath without healthy boundaries you are going to absorb and not observe, and therefore your energy will get sucked dry at a rapid rate. But I can 90% guarantee that you will still try to show up.

“If you’re feeling like you’re on your last nerve, like you can’t understand people, or why they’re not hearing you, or even why they are not following simple instructions…Instead, they are misinterpreting, forgetting, dumping on you, unable to hold you as a whole person, are not tracking you… whatever shortcoming it is you’re experiencing right now, please bear in mind that it’s really not personal: People just do not have it right now.”

They do not have capacity for whatever it is you need.

Do you need them to hear your actual words and not assign ill intent to them? They can’t do that right now.

Do you need them to speak to you using different words, tone, or inflection? They can’t do that. They do not have it in them right now.

Look around at the world. Read the room.

They are beyond capacity. They are running on fumes. (As are you some days.)

They do not have the ability to bring their whole best self to an interaction right now. They are a trauma response waiting to happen.

This is where self attachment (knowing who you are, what you need, your values and having healthy boundaries is vital!)

This is where practising self care techniques, havening, vagus nerve soothing, and taking supplements is important.

This is where you need to be really connected to your self-worth and your values right now.

If I were to ask you what your top 3 core values are right now, would you know? Could you describe them in depth? Do they wend through all areas of your life?

You have to have a clear line on your moral compass. You have to know what’s the most important thing to you. And do it!

As that old saying goes “If you don’t fill your own well, there is nothing.”

Give yourself a fucking break! Invite Grace into your day.

Tie that into the Gemini/Beaver Full Moon energy and wowzer.

“We have almost reached the end of the calendar year and under the November Full Moon, we may begin feeling that it’s time to release and let go of any heaviness 2023 has brought our way.

While we still have one more Full Moon to go in December, the Gemini Full Moon on November 27, guides us to begin thinking about what we wish to cleanse and what we wish to purge.

What do we no longer want to carry in 2024? What has become too heavy and too burdensome? What has been taking up far too much of our resources?

It’s time to start thinking about letting the heavy things go. It’s time to start clearing our plates so we can move through 2024 with more alignment, grace, and ease.

Use this November Full Moon to start assessing what is too heavy to hold and what you wish to be free of come the new year. Set your intentions and put them out to the Universe under the Full Moon. Allow them to be carried by the powerful cleansing energies that the Full Moon brings.”

So please darling one, if you take away anything from this writing. Bandwidth, boundaries and releasing the yes’s that should be no’s.

And for those who are interested, there will be a powerful MasterMind Circle for a select few starting in the New Year where you will learn energy management, boundaries, values, self mastery, collapsing old mirrors and so much more. If you are interested in hearing more make sure you are on the email list.

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

If you have never met these guides, let me introduce you.

Faeries are magical beings who are guardians and protectors of our precious planet. They care for plants, flowers and trees, and us daft humans. They want everyone to experience their ancient wisdom and to feel reconnected to the Earth, our home, and to self.

The faeries are delighted to spiritually support and encourage you on this fantastic journey as you walk upon the faery path. And they remind you – there’s more to life than what you can see with your physical eyes.

Perfect guides for this time!

So darling one, just BE for a moment. Allow your breathing to slow down, the todo list to drop to the floor and imagine filling your own well with magnitude, light, love and ease. Breathe that in and then when you are ready pick the card or cards that resonate for you.

For those who would like to go a bit deeper into the energy of Magnitude, or feel they need a wee bit of help with filling their tank. I have a glorious guided visualisation for you.

Did you pick?

Let’s have a gander, shall we?

MOON SECRETS

Cycles

Life is all about cycles. Creation depends on cycles. The cycles that create life on Earth are meshed with those that create and run the Universe.

We are all aware of the moon’s cycles and the effects that they have upon life on Earth.

From our ties to our reproductive cycles, the moon has a great influence upon our lives.

For certain, the Universe also has many other cycles that influence us. Everything in existence is cyclic in one form or another or it could not exist. Cycles bring order to the Universe and to our lives.

There is a season for everything. Everything must happen in its own time.

A cycle forms a circle, which symbolises continuance of cosmic energy flow. The energy that animates each of us is never ending. It was in the beginning and will ever be. It can change forms but it cannot be destroyed.

Learn to know the cycles that affect you. Sense them. Pay attention and notice all the cycles around you in your life.

The seed that sprouts and grows has a cycle. Day and night are cyclic. You breathe in and you breathe out.

What all these cycles tell you is that there is order in the Universe and there is order in your life.

You just have to acknowledge the order and flow with it. Don’t fight it.

Know that when you relax into life, things begin to work more smoothly as you are no longer fighting against the universal energy patterns, but moving within them.

“Goddess Moon……

Who reflects the cycles of the Universal force,

Help me to remember

All things have their perfect time of being,

As well as their perfect time of ceasing in this realm.

The great wheel of existence turns continually.

Help me to remember

I am a party of the wheel and of all that is.

I am!

So be it!”

Celebrate life’s cycles today!

GIFT REVEALED

Surprise

Faeries love good surprises.

However, when they are faced with a surprise that isn’t quite what they asked for, they pout. Pouring soon turns to a smile and laughter as they realise that everything comes with its own gift.

They always look until they find the gift.

If life gives you something that you aren’t completely thrilled with, keep an open mind. Often the best things come disguised. Look below the surface and see what a person or situation holds for you. Do not be quick to judge new people. Not everything is revealed on the spot.

Connect with the person and work to understand where they are coming from. Their experience is different from yours. So take the time to see what makes them tick and what they have to offer. They are just as important as you are.

Do the same with situations….understand that what appears to be the case may not be the truth at all.

Remember that solutions can come in the strangest of ways when you allow them to do so.

Always ask that Spirit create the perfect situation for you. Find the gift in all things.

“Oh Spirit of the night,

That hides the light of day,

I call upon your wisdom to help me on my way.

To look below the surface and see what lies within.

I cast about some fairy dust to sprinkle at my whim.

I judge not that what I see, but look and let it be.

For I do know within my grasp a gift is there for me.

So be it!”

Surprise someone today!

WATER ELEMENT

Flow

Water is the elixir of life on Earth.

It is also a symbol for the astral fluid (or Universal Energy) that permeates all things. Water deserves our respect and gratitude since without it there is no life.

Water element is also associated with the divine feminine. It is about love, fertility, emotion and is also associated with the subconscious mind.

Water has no fixed state, it is in a constant state of flux. How does water show up in your life?

Do you squander it? Are you aware of it? How are your emotions? Are they tumultuous or on an even keel?

It is totally natural for emotions to fluctuate, but if they are peaking and troughing, ask this glorious Water Element Fairy to help you keep them in balance.

This water fairy dances in the flow of the energy around her. She is joyous and buoyant as she moves with the current. She does not fight it, she moves with the flow. She knows that this fluid energy will take her where she needs to be and bring to her what she needs and desires.

As water is associated with the subconscious mind, you may also be looking at a need to follow your subconscious. This can be done in dream work, as there are many messages if you just take the time to focus on them.

Pay attention to your intuition as it works to guide your daily life. Ask the element of water to purify your emotions and your intentions.

Ask it to help you see clearly, as in a calm pool of water, what you need to know about yourself on a deeper level. You might be pleasantly surprised by what you discover about yourself.

“I honour the fluidity of life.

I dance in the spirit of water.

I drink in its substance, deeply.

I am thus sustained!

So be it!”

Be buoyant today!

What a gloriously lovely reading! I’m so glad my spiritual posse badgered me to share what they wanted to say. So darling one, I wish for you a week of practicing healthy boundaries. Self attachment. Anything that nourishes you and fills your well. Sending big hugs and squeezes.

Beaver Moon Journal Prompts

Jenny Heston · 2:22 pm ·

As we welcome in the Beaver Full Moon on November 27th, here are some lovely journal prompts to help you deepen into your lunar practice.

Take some time to consider what you may have that others do not. Was there a time when you wished for what you have now? What are you grateful for?

What’s your favorite way to distract yourself while also making you feel incredibly happy?

Imagine you’ve suddenly become the dream version of yourself; you’re who you’ve always wanted to become. Describe in detail what that looks like, feels like, and what that looks like on a daily basis. What are you prioritizing? What can you change now to become that dream version of yourself?

Who are you if everything was taken away from you (items, career, titles, etc.)?

A common misconception about spirituality is that you must always be positive, highly vibrational, and happy. However, it’s not wrong or un-spiritual to feel the full range of emotions at any given time. Write down your thoughts and opinions on this statement.

Enjoy and Happy Full Moon.

Cancer New Moon – What do You Want and How Do You Nourish Yourself?

Jenny Heston · 4:14 pm ·

Happy Moodling, Magickal, Moist, Musing, Manifesting, Marvellous Monday!

It is so ridiculously hot here again, and I’m not a huge fan at all! It makes me feel like a crabby, wilting wallflower! And when I hear people say “climate change is not a thing”, I just want to bop them on the nose!

Anyhow, we have lots to cover, so grab a cool beverage honey, find a shady spot and let’s go explore how this Cancer New Moon ties in with the energy shift of July, and what on earth that means for you!

First let’s talk about the July energy shift.

The theme for July is: “What do YOU want, and can you HAVE it?”. (Have you asked yourself those questions?)

As Lena shares: “There are big energetic changes this month supporting the need to engage your will, good boundaries and positive action steps leading you closer to your essence goals. This may require more letting go of old invalid programs of cultural imprint as well as the courage to step forward into a new landscape.

The question of “what do YOU want” should be a daily exercise of contemplation and truth telling.

Stay out of reaction and judgement especially if your choices are taking you away from a situation you feel you have been putting up with for a long time. Do not blame or feel victimised but rather experience gratitude for the clarity and freedom you have to move forward.”

So hold that question in your mind okay?

Now let’s look at this New Moon.

Cancer is ruled by the Moon and brings the qualities of nourishing oneself and others, the Divine Mother (maternal) energy, comfort and self care. The turning inwards to find answers and to care for oneself.

Yet, so often this energy gets directed to others and not oneself.

Ask yourself: Do you feel stable and secure in yourself? Are you able to comfort and soothe yourself back to a state of balance?

As let’s be honest, after 3 years of a pandemic I am witnessing a lot of nervous systems that are on hyper vigilance, with anxiety, stress as the side dish.

So with this Cancer New Moon when you make any intentions I highly encourage you to see if you can craft your intentions and ideas from a place of inner trust.

“This requires us to go within, to sit with ourselves, and to direct the vision of our lives from a place of inner knowing and intuition. The answers may not come to us right away, but practising patience is part of this process.

Creating intentions from a place of inner knowing is about flowing with the process and knowing that the right inspiration and answers will come when they are ready. This process requires surrender and a lot of faith, but ease tends to follow when we give over to it.”

Now do you see how the July energy of What do You Want, and this deep, rich inward energy of the Cancer New Moon fold in together?

Play with it over the next few days, take some time to get clear about what you want. Not from a “thinking” place, but the well spring of your soul and emotions. Yes?

Make your intentions from there!

Okay, I have chuntered, lol (when don’t I?)

Let’s crack on with the reading.

Now if these guides are new to you, let me introduce them!

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

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

Take a moment to just chill the fuck out (pardon the language if that offends), and breathe. Give yourself a moment or two to play with the ideas of “What Do You Want?” and “What are the Intentions from my Soul?”

Allow those to swirl, meld and create a glorious collage and from that place – pick the card or cards that tug at you.

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go have a look shall we?

FROG SPIRIT

Renewal

Darling one, it’s never too late to begin again.

If your past was less than successful, remember this – what has occurred does not need to mandate what will occur. You can start out fresh and new.

However, if you do what you have always done, you will get what you’ve always gotten.

In order to reboot your life, you need to do things in a different way.

The frog’s three stages of development (egg, tadpole, fully formed amphibian) symbolise renewal, resurrection, and transformation.

Allow Frog Spirit to flow through you and be willing to release any preconceived notions of how life should unfold.

This is a time to be adaptable. Be willing to change, and allow the abundance and good fortune that’s waiting for you to flow to you like the water that nourishes the glorious Frog!

FIRE SPIRIT

Energy

Darling one, take action!

This is not the time to hold back in life! Do not repress what you feel or allow yourself to be drained by others. If you strive to meet everyone’s expectations and fulfil the needs of others, but forget to honour your own needs, your energy field becomes depleted and dull.

Break free of your constraints, whether self-inflicted or imposed on you by others.

Allow the summer sun to fill you and your radiant heart with verve and passion. Give your emotions free rein. Waves of energy will surge through you as you spontaneously express yourself.

However, running on your own resources can be depleting. Allow the Creatrix to flow through you. Be open to receiving, knowing that you don’t have to do it all yourself. This replenishes your soul and supports you in accessing enormous amounts of energy.

The power of Fire spirit is renowned.

One of the four primal elements, it traditionally represents transformation, passion, zeal, enthusiasm, creativity and activation. Let the energy of fire inspire action and movement for you now.

Ignite your inner fire. Speak your truth and let the light of the Creatrix surge through you.

SECRET SPRING

Success

Sweetie, all things are possible!

The more you honour and celebrate the success that you already have, the more success pours into your life. And the more you feel it, the more love, prosperity, fame and all the rest of it, you will have.

Act as if – and feel as if – you are wildly successful, and even more success will develop.

Accept that you are already thriving – you are – and the more wonderment will emerge.

If a situation seems to knock you down, get up, and take a moment to explore what you learned….and then keep going.

In Celtic tradition, secret springs were magical.

Allow success to flow into your life. Allow the vitality and glowing renewal of your body to occur.

Now is the time to take action in support of your dreams.

There is no need to struggle.

The Creatrix has your back!

Mmmmm Yes! Glorious guides for this delicious energy! Wishing you a stupendous week. Stay cool, drink water, do things that soothe and nourish you, ask yourself “What do I want?”and remember – you are a glorious spark of the Divine or you wouldn’t be here! Big hugs and squeezes!

Lunar Living

Hence why the doors to FLOURISH opened at this time! (and no, you can’t make this shit up.)

Let me ask, on this Gemini Beaver Full Moon, how is your bandwidth?

This is where self attachment (knowing who you are, what you need, your values and having healthy boundaries is vital!)
