On Saturday 23rd August we have the new moon, that for us in the UK is at 7:06 am (BST). This new moon enters Virgo following the Sun entering Virgo a day earlier but what everyone’s talking about is that there are 2 new moons in Virgo. The second new moon in Virgo classifies as a true astrological Blue Moon but It is also a Solar Eclipse.
This next lunar cycle takes us through a Full Moon and Total Lunar Eclipse 15° 23’ Pisces on 7th September and then the next New Moon is a Partial Solar Eclipse 29° 05’ Virgo. With our South Node in Virgo we are clearly being asked to clean up and clear out to enable freshness in. Your health might become a focus and you question how you’ve been looking after yourself or rather not looking after yourself of late.
With the new moon squaring Uranus in Gemini there may well be breakthroughs and surprise shake ups in areas of your life that force you to do things differently. Both Virgo and Gemini are mutable signs which are the adapters of the zodiac asking us to be flexible this month.
Virgo is an Earth sign and is ruled by Mercury and we can expect its qualities to influence us over the next month. Virgo is most often known for being hardworking, practical and analytical but it can cause us to be worrisome and over judgemental to ourselves and others if not watched.
It is at this time of the year in the Northern Hemisphere that agriculture is harvesting and we are doing the same – we are seeing the fruits of our labour but it isn’t over yet although we might like to factor in some rest and self-care so we can be calm and grounded when the eclipses stir things up.
I find it interesting looking at the Sabian Symbols that Dane Rudhyar interpreted from the works of psychic Elsie Wheeler after Dr Marc Edmund Jones.
Below is the description by Dane Rudhyar of the Sabian Symbol for the new moon.
"In a portrait, the significant features of a man’s head are artistically emphasized."
Keynote: “The capacity to picture to oneself clearly the salient features and the overall meaning of any life situation.”
Keyword: Discrimination (I prefer 'discernment')
To me this suggests we relook at what matters most and put the emphasis and importance on the most essential parts of our life now, as we have left the egocentric Leo, that is expressive fire and we are seeking a higher connection and purpose to our life.
Plans that were made and seeds that were sown in the spring may not have bloomed as we expected – certainly 2025 has been unsettling as we see conflict and frustration. Don’t overcomplicate or be overcritical, it is not your role to do everything for everyone.
"What really matters" is the question to ask yourself. - you may want to simplify, refine, and edit your life, focusing on what reveals your true form and purpose and what and who you thought you were has evolved like everything else.
As the world goes crazy and situations arise we are called to turn away from drama and personality, and seek clarity, and the realignment to who you are becoming as an expression of the Divine Source.

Crystals are not just inanimate rocks they are like keys to the soul that a skilled therapist can guide you with removing long held blocks to health and wellbeing.
I am very lucky to be able to share my passion and offer the crystal healing therapy diploma and training individuals in crystallography, energy healing and metaphysical practises.
There is so much joy in seeing my students and trained practitioners shine and share their crystal healing skills.

What a week! Some of you may know myself and Helen are filming Healing with the Archangels, and this week was with Archangel Ariel. Thankfully, we always start getting signs and messages before the filming of a class which confirms the course of action and of course it is reassuring too. Well, Ariel was well and truly early by 5 days sharing a message I need to get outside and walk more in nature being mindful of my connection with nature and I also make some space in my home just for me. This is really important for me as I am busy juggling work and family, and I do not have my own space at home which is a bugbear as I work from home also.
On the day of filming Ariel, I was creating a sacred space and I called in the Archangels, the directions and the elements as normal but Uriel really stepped forward more powerful than ever making his presence really felt and afterwards Helen opened the door saying something needed to leave, which can happen as lower consciousness beings would certainly not be able to tolerate the ‘now-sacred-space’.
So, I trot off to the toilet as we would be soon filming and on walking outside, I sense the presence of a disgruntled gnome, who realising I could see him told me he wasn’t happy as we had a few things he’d like to share with Ariel. He went on to say that he is not happy with the way Ariel treated his brother, alleging Ariel had told his brother off for irritating a cow nearby. I have to say it really made me chuckle to myself although I did have to keep a straight face. So, I come back in having been to the toilet and reported to Helen that it was the gnome that had to leave as he could not withstand the energy but was wanting to give Ariel a piece of his mind. Just after this Helen had to leave the studio and go across to her house. On her return, CONTINUED IN COMMENTS. 🙏✨

What are the roots and significance of the ‘Lions Gate?’. Is it still relevant?
As always - I am not here to tell you it is or isn’t real, I am sharing my understanding and thought.
This article is Substack and I share my own personal viewpoint and experiences.
Whatever you celebrate or whatever you believe - may it serve you and all for the greatest good.

Some people claim they only like the pretty crystals, you know… the shiny polished or carved ones. These ones have been ‘enhanced’ to be more attractive for what people consider to be more beautiful or pretty and of course… more profitable.
I have always liked the rough, raw and natural way they looked before. Metaphorically crystals (much like everything on this planet - including us) have been made to physical appear better by human standards - humans have projected their programs onto nature about what is beautiful. This can be a hedge, hybrid flowers, dogs.. the list is endless.
What if it was never about the physical appearance, but something much deeper that we should be paying attention to? Like a subtle magnetic pull towards a person, a place or a crystal.
What if we relearned to value everything not by their appearance but by who they really are without all the expectations and projections.
This crystal is Muscovite, it’s not a rare crystal but like most rocks and crystals it is primarily mined for industrial use and for its mica! Second to that mica is mined for cosmetics and adding that sparkle to make-up. Rarely do we get to see Muscovite it in its natural state.
Crystals often reflect us. It reminds me of me, deeply layered, often reflective, a little rugged and spiky and sometimes grey. Muscovite tells me to love myself for who I am and not who people want me to be. To me this is a beautiful crystal and I love it. My dad bought me this beauty and he struggles to see but on some deep level he ‘knew’ it was calling me to it.
Look beyond the physical appearance.
Everything is beautiful and perfect.
Believe in a higher purpose.
With love

Keep moving forward. No matter how little the steps and how hard it can be, every step counts towards your destiny. It is normal to experience blocks, this is the universe asking you to pause, look around and notice what is needing to be cleared, afterall carrying extra weight will not get you far.
There is an underlying order in the universe. It is an ebb and a flow like the tides of the ocean. Sometimes you feel an immense wave of creativity, other times you must rest and regather your energies – this applies to all of Creation. Tuning in to yourself, is you attuning to these waves.
The waves are always changing, and you are changing with them. Your needs and the needs of others are changing requiring you to be more flexibility and to flow. This is a time of great creativity but even creativity relies on stillness to receive inspiration.
The rigidity of routine and order can sometimes limit you.
Your beliefs can limit you.
Your expectations can limit you.
Your dissatisfaction can limit you.
Unhealthy distractions can limit you.
Be gentle and kind to yourself and feel into the inner flow and ask the question, “What do I need now?” Is it rest? Solitude? Nature? Good company? Self-care is universal connection!
One step at a time you are still moving forward and before you know it you will feel a roar of the ocean wave propel you forward further than you could of imagine.
Do not forget that you are the wave in a great ocean and therefor always moving in the right direction.

Join hosts Kelly Peacey and for an online celebration to honour the Spring Equinox.
The suns journey is actually our journey through the cycles of Nature and we feel it on many levels! The spring equinox stands upon the point of balance, upon which everything pivots in its motion, in the universe, in the cycles of the seasons, and within ourselves. it is a day of balance as we leave the dark half of the year and enter the light half.
The day of the Spring Equinox forms the “Solar Cross” along with the Autumn Equinox and the Summer and Winter Solstices and marks the start of the astrological year as the sun enters the sign of Aries the ram.
Kelly and Helen will be connecting to the importance of this time of “initiation” for creating internal harmony by exploring the mythology, practises and traditions and why some ancient sites are aligned with it.
We will come together for ceremony and meditation and there will be time for poems, stories, chanting and sharing,
This evening event will be held on ZOOM and take place on Friday, 21st March 7pm and last approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes.
We recommend you have a lit candle and any significant seasonal objects, pictures, and crystals with you and be in a space where you will not be disturbed and can be cosy and relaxed enough to really tune in to this time of unlimited possibilities.
Please note that we are NOT affiliated to any religion, and everyone is welcome no matter what your beliefs are!
To register your attendance, we are asking a donation of between £5 and £10 (see link below to do this) and that you send us your email address so we can add you to the Zoom Event. It is by doing this that we will then send you the link to join us.
