What Is Going On, Anyway?

June 6, 2024. New Moon in Gemini. Bugs and Gardening. Seeing myself from every angle. Why is this New Moon such a truth seeker? Not an absolute truth, more like the truth from an innocent asking why and why and why and as you answer you realize that there are so many other ways to see things. I wish us well as we see the good, the bad and the ugly all at once. This is a public episode. If you woul...

May 23, 2024 This is our full Flower Moon. It's good. Even though I'm tired, this is good. I'll share a little about what's going on for me, and talk about how I think that could make meaning. What is this moment about? Why so full? Even though we may have our hands full at the moment, this is the perfect time to also experience value and worth and let that unlock our flows of easy...

May 8, 2024. These next two weeks are tinted by this New Flower Moon in Taurus. My take? Nothing will be so amazingly different and we will still feel the difficulties of these times. However, we may feel a tiny glimmer of hope. And we may have just one thing go our way. Just enough that we don't feel so lost. This is my hope and prediction, but mostly a hope. I'll share my story about thi...

Full Pink Moon. April 23, 2024. How many times do we need to hear, just let it go? It's not so easy though, is it? This full moon we've passed a signpost. The land we've entered has a new ruling party and we don't quite know how to conduct ourselves here. It takes a lot of bravery to know something is right on the inside and then follow through with that knowing on the outside. Thi...

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 mom...

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 an...

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 re...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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. This is a public episode. If you would...

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...

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 littl...

Full Beaver Moon in Gemini, November 27th, 2023. Have you been tending your inner fire lately? This podcast is here to remind you that not only do you need the warmth and coziness of a fire to keep you happy this winter, your spirit needs its flame tended as well. Of course not everyone has a woodstove or fireplace to tend, but we can all celebrate the season of darkness with lights, candles, and...

New Beaver Moon in Scorpio. November 13, 2023. What does storytelling have to do with desire? This time on the podcast I consider how rethinking storytelling is one way that I am forming the world I want to live in. This new moon isn't giving us relief from the current intensity of the world. Political strife is omnipresent, and a humanitarian crisis is on my mind. Join me for a moment of stor...

October 28, 2023. We've come to the Full Hunter Moon with a partial lunar eclipse. Times are turbulent and people are exhausted. The grief of so much destruction is overwhelming. This time on the podcast we are being called to look into the dark and pull out the corruption which no longer has a place in the hidden realms. It's time to look, really look, at what must come to surface and what hidden...

October 14, 2023. This is the New Moon in Libra and Annular Solar Eclipse. This time on the podcast I take time to focus on the recent war declared by Israel on Hamas. It deeply affects me and I'm sharing how I'm coping with the daily fear that arises from having family in this region. The I Ching gives us notice that once again, the place we are in is steeped in the unknown and we must at...

September 29th, 2023 Full Harvest Moon in Aries. What is going on when you are so full to the brim that everything feels sloshy and messy? Which is worse a real bully in the form of another human or the one who keeps saying mean things to myself? I remember how lovely it is to wander the stacks of a public library. Our hexagram gives us the wisdom of the Vessel and transformation. This is a public...

It’s the New Harvest Moon (in Virgo) on September 14, 2023 and despite my best intentions, I left the studio and ran to the ocean to play hooky. What do you do with inner conflict when one part of you wants to ‘do it right’ and the other just wants to play. Who wins? This time on the podcast, me - your host, Ann Hedly, goes rogue and we meet Hecate, goddess of crossroads. We will find out this moo...

Full Blue (Super!) Moon. August 30-31, 2023. What do you do when you're afraid you might give up on your dreams? Do you push onward, refocus, or do you give up and change course? This time on the podcast I consider this question and ask advice from the Oracle. This time, we're considering a full blue moon, which is also a supermoon so it appears just slightly bigger in the sky to our eye....

But for real this time, What is going on, anyway? Why do things seem like they could be easy, but then they are just hard? And also summer is weird. It's either too hot and sweaty or too rainy and it's all just bothersome isn't it? This full super moon is bringing up issues of head versus heart. We must learn the flexibility to move easily from both perspectives. The I Ching offers us...

Danger. Don't worry, I'll talk you through it. Yes, these two weeks will probably bring up challenges, but they have purpose. With the mindset of inquiry you will be able to find out how to flow with the waters. I'm asking questions about how I was raised and by whom. Why am I so much like my siblings and my mother? We react in such similar ways when anxiety arises, I have to wonder where they end...

Welcome to this Full Buck Moon. Do you know how to ask a good question? Let's consider what goes into this process. Yes, discernment is necessary and also having healthy personal boundaries is key. Are you asking in the spirit of true curiosity, or are you making a commentary with your question? We will consider what needs composting to make way for sustained and nourishing growth. Grace, Beau...

When life brings up something that is worn out or has holes in it, we are called to fix, mend, repair or discard. How do we know what to do? When it is our actual world that needs repair, how do we bring our own hands to act and do this important work? I'll talk about some ideas I've got around mending, share a Dad poem for Father's Day, and see what is in store for these next 2 weeks. What does t...
