What Is Going On, Anyway?

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.

Full Wolf Moon in Leo, January 25, 2024. A few days later than planned, the podcast is ready. It's completely worth the wait though, I assure you. Somehow, without forewarning. The Meaning of Life has been revealed. It may astound you. It may be the relief you've been searching for and the answer you seek. I talk about the surrender to this full moon, my migraine visitation and the wisdom shared by listening to pain. What does the oracle have as advice for us? Gather your people, find collaborators, partners, supporters. Revolution is in the air.

I'm hosting a Somatic Practice on Zoom focused around the theme of the current moon cycle. Bi-weekly on Friday at noon EST. www.annhedly.com for link to class and more info.

$15 suggested, all welcome, link available freely, it's a big zoom room and we can all fit.

Support me on Patreon for as little as $1/month.

Buy me a coffee on ko-fi!

New Wolf Moon in Capricorn, January 11, 2024. Welcome to Season 2! This new moon time has me wanting to develop a friendlier relationship with the Dark. As I feel the prompts of a New Year and all the cheerful resolutions to be made, it seems important to balance it all out with the truth of my experience. I need the dark and the light to figure out my center place and to know how to ask for help that gives me what I need to stay there. Thank you for joining me here for another season of What Is Going On, Anyway? The I-Ching gives us 3.5-24 Sprouting to Returning. And both hexagrams are excellent for contemplating ideas around starting a new year with flexibility and hope.

December 26, 2023. Full Cold Moon in Cancer. It's the last full moon of 2023 and a good time for reflection and appreciation. Intuitively, this next year holds something a little different for us all. Join me to hold space for gratitude, understand where we've been and prepare to push open little pockets of space to hold joy that is sprouting in 2024.

New Cold Moon, December 12, 2023. This New Moon time is giving me a sense of the need for imaginal space to consider new ways of understanding the power of everyday acts. What if I changed my everyday habits and connected with others who also seek change by starting small? This is the last new moon of 2023. I've seen my way through a whole year of new moons with this podcast. The I Ching gives us Radical Change and Sprouting. Both are hopeful and necessitate a big round of courage and fortitude to find out what stays and what goes as we forge into the future together.

New Blue Moon, August 16, 2023. Your personal shininess is calling. Can you make space and organize your life so that your gifts can breathe? Join me this time as we consider the end of summer and how to let this two week cycle of new moon to full moon give us the space we need to consider ourselves. Also this new moon time has been confrontational in a toddlerish way, unexpected, and geez a little sticky.
