13 MOONS

It's a super moon, full moon and there's currently six, soon to be seven planets in retrograde. This episode discusses what to work on this week, your contemplations and celebrations and how you can work with the gravitational pull of the moon.

This current new moon cycle began on the Super New Moon in Leo and will come to fruition on the Super Full Blue Moon in Aquarius on August 31. This whole moon cycle has potential for you to work with some serious gravity from the 'super-ness' of the moon (meaning it is closer to earth) and the superstitious magic of the second full moon in a calendar month. Keep revisiting your intentions and action plans until August 31 to make sure you're making the most of this manifesting portal! (We use Sidereal / Real Sky Astrology)

This week on the Moon Diaries we are talking through setting intentions with the New Moon and how it aligns with the Winter Solstice portal of transformation and rebirthing. Also includes a powerful 11 breath sequence to give you an instant clear and active mind - cut through the brain fog quick! We discuss the high initiate journey of rebirthing as astrologically we are activated at the The Silver Gate being the portal of resurrection taking us from the Galactic Anti Centre (the underworld) to the Galactic centre rebirth on the full moon. Sam also unpacks the conscious and subconscious mind… like clearing out the junk draw! We hope you enjoy this episode and many solstice blessings!

This weeks Moon Diaries talks about slowing down as we align with the Dark of the Moon as the days get shorter this week. The Winter Solstice and Sabbat of Yule will occur right on the light of the new moon and the Venus Gateway of the Crown Chakra. These are major universal synchronicities and shouldn't be taken for granted! We discuss the grand architecture of rebirthing during this time and why it's so important to slow down, and stop right now to deeply contemplate all that has transpired since the Spring Equinox in September 2022. Join us June 19 Monday evening 7:45pm AEST for our Online New Moon Circle, June 21 Wednesday at 2pm for the Online Venus Gates on the Crown Chakra and June 21 Wednesday 6.30pm in Samford Valley or Online for The Home Witch School Winter Solstice + Yule Gathering.

Antares is one of the Four Royal Stars and is at the heart of the Scorpio constellation. In Real Sky Astrology we have just experienced the full moon moving across this star creating a deep and profound sense of uprising of truth. This moon cycle we have been working with the Fixed Grand Square activating an uprising of the feminine... as we continue through the current cycle we are asking the questions - if you had to go to war, could you do it in a way that was true to you and in your feminine essence? This episode is followed with a much deeper exploration of Antares, Scorpio and the very important questions to ask yourself right now.. where are you being distracted in your life, where are you avoiding stillness and presence and can you find the essence of your truth ~ (see next video). Enjoy and many moon blessings lovely folk xx

This podcast episode is an extract from our May New Moon Circle where the transmissions were coming in powerfully! We're discussing the rare Grand Square (Cross) Jupiter, Mars, Pluto (in retrograde) and the South Node of the Moon in the Real Time Sky (sidereal astrology). Powerfully, this Grand Cross culminates on the Venus Gateway of the Third Eye Chakra giving light to SEE THE UNSEEN and KNOW THE UNKNOWN. This energy will create create waves of momentum for months to come, so tune in and share with us any experiences or realisations that you may be having during this time. If you would like to take part in the manifesting process from our May New Moon Kundalini Meditation Circle we have made it available as an online class on our YouTube channel.

This point of the cycle - between Samhain and the Winter Solstice (currently in the Southern Hemisphere) is the darkest part of the year. The winter solstice is the shortest day and longest night (June 21 - 22) and from that point the light begins to return as we journey back to spring. So these few weeks leading up to the solstice after the sabbath of Samhain and the witches new year, is the season to embrace the dark, to witness the endings and to allow the decay and compost of all that has ended. If we look to nature we see this naturally happening... the leaves are falling from the trees, the mulching of the organic matter breaks down and the nutrients are being repurposed as fertile black earth in readiness for the planting of the seeds for spring. In this episode we are discussing how this process is just as essential for the human psyche, as it is for nature. What has come to an end? What can you let go and fall from you and what is old and decaying, ready to be transmuted for a new fresh beginning. Can you give yourself this time to sit in the dark, and let the change take place, much like a caterpillar going into cocoon and emerging as a butterfly?

In the Southern hemisphere the Sabbat of Samhain (pronounced Sah win - which means Summer’s end) began on Sunday May 1 and culminates (is exactly occuring) on Saturday, May 6 when the Samhain midway point is exact between the Solstices and Equinoxes, measured in degrees along the ecliptic. It is known as the Witches’ New Year and revered as a powerful spiritual time. During this Sabbat the veils between the earth plane and the etheric realms are at their thinnest affording us the opportunity to communicate with deceased relatives, ancestors and loved ones. What's even more magical about this sabbat of Samhain is it falls in the eclipse season, bookended by the Hybrid Solar Eclipse on April 20 and the Lunar Eclipse on May 6. In this episode we're discussing the shift of autumn and the season of Samhain, how this is a brilliant portal for discovering your 5D abilities and what it means to live in a fifth dimensional way. Enjoy!

This episode is an extract from our New Moon Hybrid Solar Eclipse circle. It is a fascinating discussion about the spiritual meaning of a hybrid solar eclipse, the science behind this solar and lunar event, it’s placement in the Cetus Constellation (The Sea Monster / Whale) and how to work as an initiate within these eclipse energies between now, the Venus Gate on the Throat Chakra Gateway on Sunday, and the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in May. So much magic. Enjoy xx

If your moon is in Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius or Capricorn you are having a moon birthday this week! WEEKLY THEMES New Moon in Libra and we’re going to encourage you to wait until Sunday to set your intentions this month.. listen in to find out why. The themes for this new moon, off the back of the equinox is Justice, Harmony and leaning into the confusion and blocks to learn to understand your needs, values and boundaries. Jupiter is the closest to the earth in 59 years aspecting many planets.. expansion is big this week. Mercury stations direct this weekend, however it’s not all systems go, just yet. We are leaving a 9 month of endings governed by the Subtle Body and moving into a 10 month (the Radiant Body) of ascension. DAILY ASPECTS Monday - Moon Day (New Moon in Libra) 26/9 Today’s new moon in Libra is powerful within the portal of the equinox. It’s a seriously powerful new moon for seeding intentions for the next moon cycle plus the next 6 months. Tuesday - Mars Day (Moon in Libra) 27/9 As the light returns to the moon we encourage you to contemplate your life before setting intentions, be mindful where you’re not experiencing justice… be careful what you wish for! Join us for the new moon circle tonight for meditations and processing your new moon / new cycle intentions. Wednesday - Mercury Day (Moon in Scorpio) 28/9 Look to the skeletons in the closet and any karmas that are attempting to come to the surface at the moment. Let the processing continue to move through the energy. Thursday - Jupiter Day (Moon in Scorpio) 29/9 Anything coming up now has the potential to be expanded with the major influence of Jupiters closeness to the planet on Jupiter day. Ride the magnitude and allow the transformations to happen. Friday - Venus Day (Moon in Sagittarius) 30/9 Sagittarius - the teacher is in the house today and Saturday to show you the lessons. Hopefully you can tune in and start to understand your needs, boundaries and the direction you need to choose for your path forwards. Saturday - Saturn Day (Full Moon in Sagittarius) 1/10 Mercury stations direct today, in opposition to Neptune. Neptune is the dreamy, illusionary, deep mystical state. All those aspects we’ve put on hold pre-mercury retrograde, have the chance now for you to see them in their reality, to see through some of the illusions that might have been guiding your choices but perhaps were not the correct choices. Today is also the start of October - the beginning of the ascension month. Depending on the work you’ve been doing this is the first day where the lessons you’ve been learning start to manifest as destiny. Sunday - Sun Day (Moon enters Capricorn) A refreshing change of energy comes on Sunday. Today’s the day for setting intentions. You’ll likely feel done with processing and ready to get on with task and to-do lists for self help, support and getting back ontop of life. Make sure you add joining us at Pilgrim Yoga for our 6 week Kundalini Yoga residency on the Yogic Science of Relationships. Many moon blessings, moon folk! xx

If your moon is in Cancer, Leo or Virgo you are having a moon birthday this week! WEEKLY THEMES This week the moon is moving through its final phase heading towards the dark of the moon on the weekend, the final phase before the new moon cycle. We are in the energy of gratitude and giving back. We are also still in a 6 planet retrograde so there is the presence of reviewing & reflecting on major life themes. Everything is building towards the Spring Equinox on Friday! So time to do a spring cleanse / detox and get on with spring cleaning! DAILY ASPECTS Monday - Moon Day (Moon in Cancer) 19/9 The beautiful watery moon energy allows you to feel at home, in your home and starting the spring cleanse today so your energy is vibrant and clear for the manifestation portal on Friday and in preparation for Spring. Tuesday - Mars Day (Moon in Cancer) 20/9 Utilise the mars energy of the day to tackle the closets or spaces you've been avoiding clearing out for years. It's a fire / water day so keep things in balance so you don't accidentally put the fire out with too many watery emotions. Wednesday - Mercury Day (Moon in Leo) 21/9 A good day to remember we are still in Mercury retrograde so be mindful to be careful with communication of ideas, facts, emotions or things you're processing. The moon energy lifts with the shift to Leo. Thursday - Jupiter Day (Moon in Leo) 22/9 Today is a beautiful expansive day with the moon in Leo. Time to stop the seriousness of life and go dancing or out to have fun . Friday - Venus Day (Moon in Virgo) 23/9 Today is the Spring Equinox and time for rituals and meditations on prosperity and what you would like to seed for this new season. A beautiful time to gather with people, however if you are unable to, find some time to do a lovely little intention setting ritual for yourself. The energy is cosmically ignited with the Spring Equinox, the Sun changing signs into Libra PLUS a Mercury Cazimi where the Sun and Mercury are both at 0,0 degrees. This aspecting is being referred to as The heart of the Sun and the most beautiful opportunity for your prayers and desires to be amplified during this time. Make the most of this beautiful opportunity. Saturday - Saturn Day (Moon in Virgo) 24/9 Today is the first day of the dark of the moon and a good day to put plenty of space around your self to bask in the afterglow of the Spring Equinox. You don't want to have to "do anything you don't want to do" today. There has the potential for some very mystical and magical energies today. Sunday - Sun Day (Moon in Virgo) 25/9 Today is the second day of the dark of the moon and you have the potential to be wiped out and land a spiritual hangover so again, keep things close to home or out in nature, wherever your soul is calling to be today. Our New Moon Circle will be on Tuesday September 27 - join us here to call in the New Cycle of the New Season! Many moon blessings, moon beings!
