The New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aquarius isn’t a quiet reset. It’s a turning point.

Aquarius asks for truth.
The eclipse removes what’s unstable.
The Fire Horse accelerates what is real.

You don’t need to chase clarity.
You need to stand in your sovereignty.

What are you no longer available for?

What do you want the future to look like? The power is yours if you choose it

The world is shifting in ways we cannot ignore.
And many of us are walking through private endings at the same time. Indeed, I am walking my own edge right now, and this is the medicine I am practising.

Love is not something loud or performative or commercialised. I do not like the commercialism of Valentine’s Day one little bit. .

Love is not over priced roses and wild declarations.

It is breath.
It is staying.
It is choosing to soften instead of harden.
It is tending your own nervous system when everything feels unsteady.

I am not interested in the spectacle of Valentine’s Day .

I am interested in devotion.

The quiet kind.
The kind that steadies your spine.
The kind that lets you grieve and still remain open.
The kind that says:
“I will not abandon myself.”

If this season feels tender for you too, you are not alone.

May your love be steady.
May it be embodied.
May it begin with you. 🌹

Happy full moon in Leo - intense…a threshold from the old to the next chapter. What do you need to leave behind now so that you can stand fully in your power, shining brightly like a beacon, in your full weirdo power.

What’s that saying? Let your weirdo light shine bright so that other weirdos know where to find you. That’s what this moon wants. So let’s shed anything less than that on the full moon before we head into the year of the horse.

Blessed be,loves. 🙏🏼

Everyone’s excited about the “Year of the Fire Horse” being forward movement and positive change…but I’ve had a niggly feeling.

Everyone loves the idea of “forward movement” — but not everyone loves what it requires.

Fire Horse energy doesn’t tend to soothe you into comfort…

It stirs the deep truth.
It burns off what’s false.
It asks for courage.

Fire Horse energy doesn’t whisper — it pushes.

It can bring endings, truth, disruption, sudden pivots…
Not because life is punishing you,
but because what’s misaligned can’t hold anymore.

It’s not always positive.
It’s PURIFYING.

And on the other side of purification:
freedom, power, truth, and real momentum for rebirth.

Do you have any feeling about what you have outgrown and what needs to transform?

She was a stunning moon last night (full around 5am this morning), but my goodness didn’t she keep me awake 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪 Feeling fried this morning . When the moon is in cancer she amplifies themes of home and family… it seems to have highlighted all the places for me where there are issues in family dynamics, bringing things to the surface - not necessarily to punish, although it does feel punishing, but to show us what is still unresolved…what needs more work or letting go…or compassion. This is what I’m feeling from the moon. What is real for you in this regard? I’d love to hear in the comments

Beautiful words by Donna Ashworth ♥️

On the stroke of midnight tonight, you can resolve to be better, if you like…
to be fitter,
to eat cleaner,
to work harder.

On the stroke of midnight tonight,
you can resolve to become a whole new you,
if you so choose.

Or, you can take a moment to acknowledge what you already are.
Because it’s a lot.
You are a lot.

And you deserve to be truly seen.

On the stroke of midnight tonight, perhaps you could congratulate yourself, for coping.
For breaking, again,
for rebuilding, again.

For catching the stones life has thrown at you,
and using them to build your castle that little bit more beautifully.

And if you have used those stones to block yourself in for the ‘heal’, perhaps you can realign them this year. Make a grander gate, not a higher wall.

You have endured, my friend.
Through times you thought unendurable. You did.

And I don’t see the need to resolve to become a whole new you,
when you are already so very much indeed.

Happy new year.

You made it.

Now let us face another 365 day-turn, arms wide…
accepting, embracing and ‘seeing’ one other,
for all we truly are…

breaks and all.

If you are feeling heavy and full of grief, you are not alone. I am sending you all my love as we navigate this liminal time. You don’t need to have all the answers or have major plans for 2026. Just allow whatever is there to surface. It’s ok. Be in the darkness. The light will come again.

The upcoming new moon on 20th December in the U.K. (19th in US) coincides with the winter solstice…it takes us into the darkness, into the pause….

There is nothing to do, to fix or to manifest right now. Just be with what is…whatever that is. Planting the new seeds will come soon enough.

I will be taking a pause after the solstice until my full moon circle in January (link in bio).

Also now booking for “2026 year ahead” tarot readings. DM me for more info or check out the links in my bio and the comments.

In deepest love and devotion always.

On Friday, I was honoured to perform a small blessing of Dorothy’s - the first EVER dedicated LGBTQIA+ space on the Isle of Wight.

The vision and hard work of the Q***r & Now team is truly amazing and inspiring.

And it’s SO deeply powerful it is when we intentionally open a space with love, presence, and care….when we stand in circle, to honour the land and the ancestors, to speak blessings of safety, courage, belonging, joy and pride into the walls… it was profoundly moving.

May this space be a true sanctuary —
a home for chosen family,
a place of laughter, creativity and connection,
a place where no one has to shrink or hide who they are.

I’m so grateful to be asked to hold moments like this.
Thresholds matter.
Ritual and ceremony matter.
How we open spaces matters.

Blessed be this hub, and all who will pass through its doors. There’s no place like home 👠 🌈✨
