They say the period between 2 Eclipses holds space for deeply transformative events. That it's a significant astrological window, bringing in abrupt and sudden change. Losses and endings.
It certainly did for me.

FEMININE ENERGY
I've known for a long time that deeper connection to Mother Earth, aligns me with her balancing and healing rhythms and cycles...and must also include embracing our lunar feminine ally.
Why is today 'The Return of the Divine Feminine'? Well, it gets deep and is closely linked to our lady cycles - so guys, you may want to opt out now.
To acknowledge International Women's Day, I wanted to see which Goddess had a message for today and out popped...
CRYSTALS
If you've always been drawn to triangle and pyramid shapes, it might be because of their special properties. The triangle is said to be the form behind all manifestation and spiritual development. It represents...
I'm waiting with excitement and anticipation for my newest gemstone to arrive in the mail! And I wanted to explain my choice of jewellery, because people often ask me ‘what does that crystal/gemstone mean?’ or why I wear certain things.
INTUITIVE READINGS
It's been a long, winding and bumpy road.
And now that I've arrived… it's good to be here.
If you came across today's card spread on Instagram, you might've tapped in and chosen a card - and now you're ready to receive your message! So, as usual, as I'm getting set up to bring through these messages for you and I've thrown off the jumper and taken off the socks - because the energy is intense and flowing, and it turns me into a little hot water bottle!
Hey! There you are! I'm so glad you checked back in to hear what your messages for the week are. As you know, I tapped into my Flower Therapy Healing for this - and out came the Daffodil, the Pink Rose, the Waratah and the Pink Tulip. What does this mean? Read on...
NEW AND FULL MOONS
The November 2015 Full Moon rises tonight; in the sign of Gemini, with the Sun in Sagittarius. This creates a balancing act between ‘my breath’ and ‘my spirit’, ‘my words’ and ‘my truth’. Between sharing and flittering communication – and the quest for authenticity in amongst all of that!
You've done the 'energy work', the visualisations, your New or Full Moon Ritual, meditations and journaling - so what do you do with your written intentions/piece of paper afterwards?
Where you poured out your heart, your innermost wishes, your dreams and your goals...
As you know, I LOVE me some Lunar Energy! And, with all of this reference to the Lion and Feline lately, we have yet ANOTHER event in the sign of Leo...tonight's August New Moon. Today, we grab a hold of the energy of Leo and incorporate it into our New Moon Ritual. When we visualise the Lion, we think of it being...
And here it is. The Blue Moon! The second full Moon this month. This happens approximately once every 2.7 years - the next one will be in 2018. It's a rare and powerful phenomenon (its energy being 12 times more powerful than a regular full moon) - especially for those of you already aware of the different energies the Earth and Lunar cycles bring.
By now, you've probably noticed that people are catching onto (and tapping into) some of the old, ancient, rituals and traditions. I've always found, though, that if you don't really have a clear understanding of what you're doing - things don't hold as much meaning.
It's the first Full Moon of 2015 and I've felt it's power since the end of last year! As it reaches it's climax and fullness, it's time to open up and release! This is a time to shine a light (moonlight) on our shadow side - so that we can bring it to the surface, let go of it and work on starting 'a fresh'.
RELEASING ENERGY BLOCKS + FEARS
There I stand. Frilly grey peplum. Black heels. Oversized handbag (bursting with laptop, A5 diary and client files), sunnies on head, and the tiniest hint of the ‘real’ me wrapped around my wrist – wooden Mandala Beads.
Tomorrow will be single digits. Agh! I'm so damn nervous. I can't even talk about it. Can't even think about it. I feel like I'm 18 again, competing at swim meets. Trying out for rep netball teams. THAT'S why I stopped playing sport. Because of this anxiety! Oh, now I remember.
As I've spoken about before, the Full Moon is the perfect time for us to release the blocks and face the fears that have been holding us back. I've already given you a little activity on how to shine a light on your fears, but there's a second part to this...
The Full Moon is an optimal time for reflection. The Full Moon's energy brings out things that were in the dark, and will now start to come to light. Truths are revealed. It is the best time to make room for all the 'new' that you've been asking for...by clearing away the old.
It was a massive shift, coming from a family that centred it's afternoons and evenings around mainstream media and current affairs programs - one after the other, every single night.
Since moving to Western Australia, and occupying a new house with new sleeping quarters, I have struggled with developing a regular and restful sleeping habit – and my friends and family know all about it. I can be naaaasty when I’m tired!
NATURAL, ORGANIC + CHEMICAL FREE
Vegetarianism / The practice of abstaining from the consumption of meat (red meat, poultry, seafood and the flesh of any other animal). A deliberate diet for human beings...
Guest Blogger, Organic Gardener and owner of Awaken Aquaponics, Dane ORourke, shares his knowledge with us around why we should eat (and grow!) organic foods...
MEDITATION
I'm going to tell you how to drop out of your head and into your Spirited Space - with the easiest (yet super effective) Meditation ever!
When I feel out my Throat Chakra is out of balance (not being able to communicate what I feel/think, or over-communicating by speaking before I think, or without purpose) I meditate on this Chakra by visualising...
AWAKENING SPIRITUALITY
If you read my initial Instagram post, you'll know that I was first feeling very anxious, frustrated…and even a little agitated at the beginning of the Lion's Gate opening. I wasn't really sure why? Maybe you were feeling the same? And then, on the night of the 7th August, I had a huge release. I was watching a movie and all of a sudden the waterworks started. I cried like a baby. BIG tears...
But the disconnection between myself and my career/business, began when I realised I was working with the wrong people. I was trying to lead, and guide the way, for those that were fixated on fear; compliantly kowtowing to societal hierarchies and roles; with a passive, unquestioning, obedience in following the herd.
Living by the Earth's Cycles is a deeper way to connect to Mother Earth and to live in harmony with our natural environment. 'It has long been said that if one attunes themselves to nature, great wisdom will be evidenced in the simplicity and elegance with which the four seasons unfold...'
Seen a see few flashes of light out of the corner of your eye? Noticing repetitive numbers or signs? 11:11, feathers? Have you been craving more quiet time? Then read on to find out if you're also experiencing some 'spiritual growing pains'?
What is #365daysofspiritedspace? What is a 'spirited space?' How can you reconnect to yours?
Keep listening to your Heart, learn how to distinguish that guidance - it is identifiable when it's not covered by hate, jealousy or fear. A truth that we've all felt & heard before...
To those that connect to this, at this time, I hope it relieves you - as it did me. I've always been looking for the answers to why I felt, or did, certain things. But the (logical) answers provided to me, by friends and family, just never sat right.

...they are very much aware that “something is not right” about the energy of their environment. On the inner level they clash head-on with the parents’ energies, not understanding or resonating with their mind set or behavior.
Wide awake at 2(ish) AM is not ideal. For some reason, I tried to do it all on my own and orchestrate some 'magic' tossing & turning for the next 20 minutes. Then I finally asked for a little Celestial help...
A couple of months ago, I moved intestate. It was a quick process, due to a job offer for my partner. I had to pack, and I had to pack fast!
