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 can be done at any time and includes a powerful guided oracle card reading for you to prophecy with the oracle. Join the circle here: https://youtu.be/wmc2pDnsJUo

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?
