Hello all! Apologies for the delay, let's get onto the Moon! ( NEW MOON AUGUST 23RD UK ) This New Moon is in Virgo ♍ and is about revaluating your self worth and understanding your own expectations about yourself and where these expectations come from.

Hello all! Moon time again, let's see what we've got here! ( NEW MOON JULY 24TH UK ) This New Moon is in Leo ♌ and is about getting the strength to focus on you. Let go of the connections that aren't serving you or holding you back. If a fresh start is what you need then this will give you the strength to do it.

Hello all! We have a Moon and of course, the internet is making things complicated for me with some sources saying that the Moon is in Gemini but most say it's in Cancer, so bear with me! ( NEW MOON JUNE 25TH UK ) Since there's more available for the sources saying that the Moon will be in Cancer ♋, I will focus on that for this summery: This Moon could potentially be a heavy one as it focuses on emotions. You can use this Moon to get a better grasp on your emotions, past and present, what they mean and how they're shaping your life. Shadow Work (cough cough) could be started at this time and if you've been putting off the idea of therapy, here's your sign to take it. It'll be a rough journey but it's one that will help you into long run  Currently in retrograde, we have: - Pluto (Possibly, the internet wasn't very clear) Since there's conflicting sources, I'll cover both Gemini and Cancer: Gemini   Crystals Here are some Crystals for...

Hello all! Welcome to our first Dark Moon (to my recollection) so let's see what the second New Moon of December has for us! ( DECEMBER 30TH UK) This Dark Moon is in Capricorn ♑ and is a good time to look at structures. Not just the structures of your personal life but also the structures of the world.

Hello all! You may have noticed the 1 in the title of this so, let me explain. December is getting 2 New Moons this year, the second of which is a Black Moon, which is the New Moon equivalent of a Blue Moon! ( NEW MOON DECEMBER 1ST    UK ) The first New Moon is in Sagittarius ♐ and, despite the combination of retrogrades going on, you may feel a durg in creativity and goodwill. However, it is also a warning to not go beyond your means. With the festive season apon us, it is easy to over spend with the urge to shower our loved ones with gifts. This Moon let's us know that we can still be good natured and charitable but we don't need to stretch ourselves thin to do it Currently in retrograde, we have: - Neptune  - Chiron  - Uranus  - Jupiter  - Mercury  Crystals Here are some Crystals to work with during this New Moon: - Moonstone - Selenite - Bloodstone - Jade - Dioptase - Amethyst - Charoite - Malachite - Citrine - Agate - Clear Quartz - L...

Hello all! We're doing this post early because I'm going to be busy on Thursday! ( NEW MOON 1st NOVEMBER 12:47AM UK ) This New Moon is in Scorpio ♏ and is a time for transformation! It's time to get rid of what's no longer serving you so you can make way for new opportunities. However, it is also a good time to look into the shadows: what are you avoiding and why?

Hello all! Spooky season is finally apon us so what better way to start it than with a Moon and a solar eclipse! ( OCTOBER 2ND 19:49PM) This New Moon is in Libra ♎ and is the perfect time to find balance, particularly within relationships but it would be a good idea to look at as many aspects of your life as you can. Look at the fairness in your relationships: is it equal? Is it one-sided? Can it be improved? Take a look at what draws and connects others to you and see if it's a positive thing. It is also a good idea to see if your relationships are still good for you, do not be afraid to cut off toxic people or end relationships that no longer serve you, not everyone is meant to be in our lives forever. Use this Moon to make fair compromises and find your peace. Currently in retrograde, we have: - Pluto  - Saturn  - Neptune  - Uranus  Crystals Here are some Crystals to work with during this time: - Rose Quartz - Clear Quartz - Moonstone - Topaz - Adventu...

Hello all! We're kicking off the month strong! ( NEW MOON AUGUST 4TH 12:13AM UK ) This New Moon is in Leo ♌ and is all about confidence!

Hello all! Due to conflicting calendars I am a day out so apologies for the late post! ( Fun fact last July's New Moon was also in Cancer!) This New Moon is in Cancer ♋ and is nudging (shoving) you towards taking care of and nurturing yourself. Make time for what you enjoy, especially if it helps you emotionally. However, you also need to take a look at who's around you. It's perfectly fine to not be the brightest candle but, you need to find the difference between those who are burning you at both ends and those who are borrowing from your flame whilst not extinguishing it in the process, sometimes you need to illuminated others while protecting your own glow.

Hello all! Let's see what this New Moon has in store for us! ( New Moon takes place on the 6th) This New Moon is in Gemini ♊ and is literally the best time to start something new. Since Gemini is about communication, new ways to do so may open up but, a lot of information will come with it so it's ok if you feel a little frazzled, just use the energy to help you process and organise it. It is also a recommended time to manifest and to set goals as the opening of communication may offer you what you need to move forward  Currently in retrograde, we have: - Pluto  Crystals Here are some Crystals for this New Moon: - Moonstone - Rhodochrosite - Shungite - Celestite - Hematite - Tiger's Eye - Ametrine - Fluorite - Citrine - Calcite - Opal If you're drawn to any other Crystals during this time, use those too!!

Hello all! We have a fun moon for you today! I'll be publishing this the day before the actual Moon (which is on the 8th) This New Moon is in Aries ♈ and it is best to hold off on manifesting. The universe has already heard you and is already putting things in motion. This moon is the best time to reflect and heal so that neglected shadow work is going to give you a not so subtly nudge. I know it's scary but, this particular time will help you face the shadows and the darkness head on and will (eventually) yeld the revelation you need.  This is also going to combine with a total solar eclipse on the 8th, the eclipse portal, a certain retrograde, Chiron (astroid) will be in conjunction with the moon and the aftermath of Storm Kathleen for the UK! Currently in retrograde, we have: - Mercury  Crystals Here are some Crystals for the New Moon: - Moonstone - Rhodochrosite - Citrine - Adventurine - Lepidolite - Topaz (Blue) - Carnelian - Diamond - Ruby - Aquamarine - Hema...

Hello all! This is our last moon post of 2023! This moon is in Sagittarius ♐ and is a complicated one. If you feel that the way forward is cloudy and you feel completely stuck, you're actually in the right place!

Hello all! We have another moon post but this time it's in my favourite star sign (I may be biased!). This New Moon is in Scorpio ♏ and could potentially be an emotional one. This moon will allow you to delve into the deep, dark recesses of yourself to find your true desires. To do so, you will need to understand your emotions, your memories and why you yearn for a particular something.
