Along the way I started to experiment with intention setting and was blown away by how powerful a practise this is and at how wishes really can come true.

For example, if you have a New Moon in Cancer then not only will this be a time of new beginnings, but the Cancer influence will also bring a need for emotional cleansing and having meaningful conversations with others. When you start working with the phases of the Moon, a whole other portal opens up to you! Moonology Oracle Cards One of the most marvellous developments to come out of these five years of Moonology is the Certified Moonologer Course which I created with Hay House in 2020. FWIW I was also listed as one of the 100 Most Spiritually Influential People on the Planet, have been voted the UK's favourite astrologer multiple times, and been published far and wide including Vogue, Oprah and Yahoo! I am all about helping mainly women create their own lives. The Moon is half and half again, but this time it’s about focusing on forgiveness. The Third Quarter Moon is particularly potent for healing and forgiving others and oneself for any flaws or mishaps. Waning CrescentFinally, finish the first step of this practice with a 15-minute meditation. “End your meditation by releasing attachment to your wishes. Do this by chanting Om Namo Narayani (Om Na-moe Na-RY-annee) three times. This is Sanskrit for ‘I surrender to the divine!’ Get on with the rest of your week, safe in the knowledge that you’ve expressed your wishes to the universe. Do everything you can to make them come true.” Releasing up to the divine Then read your wishes through, one by one, visualising each wish as already having come true as you go.

I recorded this course with Hay House in a beautiful setting near Bath in the UK. What makes my heart sing is knowing that I have helped pass on this information which was almost lost to women, so that we can all start to carry out our ancient lunar practises again, thereby reconnecting to the powers that we were born with. And then, without wanting to make too much of political statement, we were stopped from doing this. We were made to fear our powers, when the patriarchy started to burn us alive at the stake in the village square with our children watching. Of course, we stopped working with the Moon and making magic. This is when the Moon appears invisible in the sky.

While your Sun sign represents who you truly are on the inside, and your Moon Sign represents your emotional self, your Rising sign represents how you come across to others and how people see you. Naturally there is a temptation to just write down ‘Bottega Veneta pouch’ and leave it up to the universe to magically deliver it via courier the next day. But unfortunately it’s not that simple. To manifest your intentions, you have to visualize the steps you need to take to make them happen. This is a time for decision-making. The Moon is split in two, with one half bright and the other half dark. This is also a time of strength and determination and seeing things through till the end. Waxing Gibbous This is when the light from the New Moon starts to grow. It signifies new intentions and the growth of those intentions. This is a time for focusing on the “why” and planting thoughts as if they are seeds. First Quarter Moon Throughout history, the moon has been strongly associated with making magic,” says Boland. “In moonology, we work with the new and full moon, setting intentions at the new moon and releasing them up to the divine at full moon.” Manifesting your dream life

Astrology has always been something women tend to do more quietly than men. While men worked with planets, women worked with the Moon and Venus. Lead New and Full Moon ceremonies, hold workshops, give readings, and share the magic of Moonology with other peopleI learned that women had been doing this kind of work with the lunar cycle as a framework for millennia and started to hold New Moon wishing nights in and around Sydney and London. Now that the light is waning, it is time to reflect and go inwards. Focusing on ridding yourself of stress and negative thinking is on the agenda, and it is also a time for getting rid of bad habits. Third Quarter Moon If you’re looking to make transformationsin your life (anything from finding a new relationship, to attracting abundance, to switching careers—anything!); seeking guidanceon your direction, purpose, and well-being; or simply wanting to have everything just flowmore easily and beautifully, working with lunar energies is the perfect ingredient to planning, predicting, and creating the life you desire.

Well, you might be surprised to learn that it is the moon which may be of assistance here. Indeed, according to Yasmin Boland, astrologer and author of Moonology. the moon has long been seen to possess the power to manifest your dream life, if harnessed correctly. We know that the Moon is Yin to the Sun’s Yang. We know that the Moon works hard to keep the Earth bright with her gentle, flowing light as the Sun goes down. We know that the Moon has an uncanny effect on the forces of nature during the Full Moon stage, whether it’s the rising tides or wolves (or us) howling up at her! Have you ever looked up at the sky at night and seen an ethereal, beautiful Full Moon and just felt a strange sensation deep within you that feels like a personal connection with that round orb in the sky? Have you ever seen a Crescent Moon and felt oddly drawn to it? You may be a Child of the Moon and, as such, interested in the fascinating and compelling art of Moonology. Moonology Oracle Cards are beautifully simple to understand and yet can offer deep insight and a range of wisdom to complex issues. Rising Sign & Moonology
