Cosmic shifts and spring starts to call...
If you are new to my newsletter - welcome, and if you’ve been receiving these for a while, I hope you enjoy them! This is just a snippet of news from my little corner of the cosmos.
It’s been a while since I’ve been in touch - after a busy festive period I tend to give myself plenty of space to breathe and regroup, then around Imbolc, (beginning of Feb) I feel the call to gather up some energy ready for spring!
Recently I’ve been enjoying preparing for my ‘Equinox Awaken’ lunar retreat on 23rd March, and my Cosmically Conscious Journey clients who will be joining me for another turn of the wheel from spring. More places will become available at summer solstice for this insightful cyclical delve into your stars! If you would like to pre-register your interest just drop me a line.
A slice of January also saw me working with the wonderful Moon Phase Studios on their 2025 Moon Journal – very exciting! (yes that’s right 2025!!) And on that note, after I did a pre-Christmas Instagram live with the lovely Hayley from MPS on the launch of the journal, I had an influx of hundreds of new Facebook group members! This was amazing but took me some time to go through all the requests, so thank you for hanging in there if you were waiting.
We’ve had some massive shifts in the cosmos in January (hello Pluto into Aquarius) and now as we lean into this lunar cycle, which began with a new moon in Aquarius, we can really start to embrace new ideas and fresh energy.
Whilst the whispers of brighter days are on the wind, there is still time for working with the potential that is beginning to stir now. Are you starting to feel the shift? Keep reading for lunar inspiration and some ideas of how you can start to lean into what this cycle is bringing...
Working with this lunar cycle
As we embrace the waxing phases of the moon this month, and she catches more and more light, the energy is gaining momentum leading up to our next full moon on 24th February.
The energy of the cycle began with a new moon in Aquarius, an air sign, signalling a wake-up call. Now, as we move with the ebb and flow of the cycle we can start to envision new beginnings and feel the sparkles of fresh energy, waiting just around the corner. Spring is calling.
During the waxing part of the lunar cycle, we have an opportunity to start taking some action towards these new beginnings. If you’ve seeded some intentions for the month ahead, it can be helpful to ask at this point; am I still aligned with them? Stay curious. You may also feel like you are moving into a more meditative space with the sun moving into Pisces. Listen for any calls to contemplation.
After Pluto moved into Aquarius (20th January) you may have noticed some shifts. If this resonates, and whilst we are working with an Aquarius new moon signature, leave yourself space to be open to insights and light bulb moments. Now is the time to ponder how any new ideas might be given form and substance in your world.
We've also seen some super intense planetary alignments happening in the sign of Aquarius recently. If these have brought you some kind of transformation, you may have found yourself needing to dig into your own inner well of resilience. Hang in there...the upcoming full moon in Virgo is bringing us the chance to find some terra firma amongst all this air energy once again!
Equinox Awaken Retreat
Half Day Lunar Retreat, Saturday 23rd March 10 am – 2 pm.
ONLY ONE SPACE LEFT!
To celebrate the spring equinox, I am holding an in person mini retreat in Bristol at the gorgeous secret garden spa that is Sensate in Henleaze. This restorative and uplifting half day retreat aims to create a mind, body, and soul shift as we welcome the equinox energy to mark this magical turning point in the year.
The retreat will explore both the spring equinox and give space to anchor in some grounding energy ahead of the lunar eclipse in Libra. It’s the perfect opportunity to nourish yourself by tuning into the lunar cycle along with welcoming new beginnings.
During your 4 hours you will be guided by me, to enjoy working with the current energy. It is perfect for those looking to relax, and reconnect with themselves and other like minded souls. Imagine gentle guided relaxations, journaling, spa therapy and oracle cards in a super chilled, magical environment - and you are pretty much there!
Would you like to join a future retreat or moon circle?

Wax Melts for Moon Phases
In the build up to Christmas I was super busy with orders for my Moon Phase Wax Melt collection and my new limited edition wax melts – my Winter Moons. I’m still totally in love with these! I’m happy to say that the collection has received some lovely feedback. One very kind customer said:
“They are absolutely beautiful!! I’m eager for the moon to change so I can burn the next chapter! I’ve burnt the first one at least 5 times and it’s just loosing its fragrance. I think they are wonderful, I like the size and amount of fragrance you get. Lovely colouring too. The smells are incredible.
I will definitely be buying these as gifts for myself and others.”
The beauty of my Moon Phase Wax Melt Collection is that I have specifically designed each set of wax melts to chime in with the moon phases using aromatherapy. However, as much as they are a perfect accompaniment to a moon ritual, the essential oil properties in them make them adaptable to use whenever the benefits of the aroma are needed! The Moon Phase Wax Collection is available to order through my website and the wonderful Room 212 in Bristol stock some single sets too.
I still have some winter moons left (not many now) so if you are enjoying cosy nights in to retreat and dream – these are perfect! These will only be available for a short time before I release my next limited-edition melt (woop) so grab while you can!
A powerful read…
If you like poetry and are looking for some fiery inspiration, I’ve been enjoying ‘Wild Embers’ by Nakita Gill. I discovered her via Insta, and I love the way her work speaks. Wild Embers is a collection of poetry on feminism, trauma, survival and empowerment - it’s super inspiring and powerful in equal measure. Loving it!
That's it from me friends…
Until next time, wishing you a beautiful lunar cycle.
With much love,
