June 21, 2024. It's the Full Strawberry Moon and Solstice all together now. Perhaps it's a great turning point, but some of the sludge-y gunk may get stirred up first. That's okay because you aren't alone. It may be hard to reach out, but at least try to go and see that you aren't alone in any of this. I'll tell you about my latest squirmy situation... and, offer hope of course.

June 6, 2024. New Moon in Gemini. Bugs and Gardening. Seeing myself from every angle. Why is this New Moon such a truth seeker? Not an absolute truth, more like the truth from an innocent asking why and why and why and as you answer you realize that there are so many other ways to see things. I wish us well as we see the good, the bad and the ugly all at once.

May 23, 2024 This is our full Flower Moon. It's good. Even though I'm tired, this is good. I'll share a little about what's going on for me, and talk about how I think that could make meaning. What is this moment about? Why so full? Even though we may have our hands full at the moment, this is the perfect time to also experience value and worth and let that unlock our flows of easy energy. You are pretty great, now that you know this, use it.

May 8, 2024. These next two weeks are tinted by this New Flower Moon in Taurus. My take? Nothing will be so amazingly different and we will still feel the difficulties of these times. However, we may feel a tiny glimmer of hope. And we may have just one thing go our way. Just enough that we don't feel so lost. This is my hope and prediction, but mostly a hope. I'll share my story about this new moon and I reference a poem that I shared a couple of years ago at a local Story Slam.

Full Pink Moon. April 23, 2024. How many times do we need to hear, just let it go? It's not so easy though, is it? This full moon we've passed a signpost. The land we've entered has a new ruling party and we don't quite know how to conduct ourselves here. It takes a lot of bravery to know something is right on the inside and then follow through with that knowing on the outside. This is a time for teeny tiny steps in the direction of our inner authority taking charge. I don't foresee this being simple or easy. What I can see is that it will be rewarding and offer some moments of liberation.

April 8, 2024. It's a new moon and a TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE, and conjunct the wounded healer Chiron. This is a stupendous time for transformation. Whatever your deepest, truest calling is: Listen.

I'll share my take on the chakras (one more time - this one's for me) and how they relate to the 3rd, 4th and 5th dimensions. Maybe, prolly. It's just theory.

Take your time to love this moment now. To be kind to your self and to enjoy a moment of restart. Everything is rebooted. Let's hope it works.

Full Worm Moon, March 25, 2024. Say you could have it all, would you even want it? The limitations of being human are such that we can imagine a lot more than is possible to do. I imagine I'll read all the books, though it's technically impossible. I imagine a second career, more certifications, maybe another degree, world travel, but is it realistic? What happens if I lay out my dreams and take a long considered look at them? What stays, what goes? The last moon we got washed through, and some things fell away whether we liked it or not. This time, we have an opportunity to know even more about ourselves by looking at our desires, dreams, and wishes. I'll read you a short story I wrote to access some personal father wound healing.

I reference Rev. Carlton Pearson (though I think I call him a pastor, oops!) and this podcast: https://www.thisamericanlife.org/304/heretics

Also this Netflix about his story which I did watch after the podcast and quite enjoyed.

I don't mention this in the show, but here is a sweet blog post about writing out a personal and professional dreamlist - which I recommend! Modern Mrs Darcy

December 10, 2024. The New Worm Moon. Probably something will wash away before we begin fresh with this moon. Sometimes our letting go will happen and all we can do is stand back and watch the torrent. Of course, I don't know how this will play out, but hopefully we can recover from whatever left our grasp this time and have a moment with a washed surface to express our creativity.

I'll read "Humpbacks" by Mary Oliver.

February 24th, 2024. It's a Full Moon and as usual, I'm feeling full and looking for why it's an overfull feeling before remembering that's just how Full moons feel. I share an animal communication about fullness. The small things matter in these two weeks. Pay attention and let yourself be guided by inner wisdom and appreciation for this moment now. Again and again, bit by bit to bring us to the next moment of right action. Now is a time for learning to flow with obstacles and to back off when necessary to fill up and find others with whom to gather forces. We aren't here to do our doing alone. We need each other and some of the folks you need, you haven't even found yet. Our hexagram gives us Obstacles and Censorship.... and yes, we feel it!

February 9, 2024. It's a New Moon and a fresh slate. Time to check in with your heart. Valentine's Day is coming up and your heart wants you to check in, deep within, with the heart's authority before you love anyone else. Your heart wants a chance to direct your life. The promise is that you won't regret this most important shift of leadership. The hope is that this is the kind of revolution that is necessary for our world.
