What Is Going On, Anyway?

Free for the Taking

Ann Hedly — Mon, 15 Jun 2026 15:58:52 GMT

Our new moon in cancer for June 14, 2026 is here. I'm suggesting that this is the kind of beginning which is unknown. We know something is starting, but we can't access the fullness of it, we actually can't even imagine well enough to see how it will play out. No idea if this is a comedy or drama. Whether it is experimental art performance or a music show. We are just here for it. Take good care as you dissolve and reappear to yourself! and Happy Solstice!

We get a bonus moon. She’s friendly, too. This time we have a chance to actually bask in our goodness. The full moon shines on us and we can see ourselves. We can appreciate ourselves. It’s simple to say, but so often eludes us at a deep, feeling level. I wish for you so much joy, overflowing contentment and ease this full moon.

Real Eyes Dreaming

Ann Hedly — Sat, 16 May 2026 16:30:21 GMT

May 16, 2026 and it's a new moon in Taurus. It's time to be receptive to dreams, desire and ambition and how they combine to be part of our identities. Saying it outloud is a step towards opening a receptive net that allows next right steps. We get hexagram 10.1.5 Treading/Conduct which moves to 64, Not Yet Across.

Flowering In

Ann Hedly — Fri, 01 May 2026 16:00:00 GMT

May 1, 2026. It's a full Moon in Scorpio for the Full Flower Moon this year. It's also Beltane/Bealtaine. A time to celebrate the return of spring. We are far enough along, we've got some green grass and early greens to enjoy again. This is a time to enjoy our own inner flowering and knowing that we've followed our integrity to a point where celebration becomes necessary. It's a recognition that we are not striving so much for a place to land as BEING landed, grounded and integral to the place we happen to be. We get hexagram 34.1.2.3 to 16 - Great Vigour to Enthusiasm.

Take A Seat

Ann Hedly — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 04:00:00 GMT

It is a new moon on April 17, 2026. There is nothing to do but sit down and be yourself already. No more potentiality. You are what you are. Facing this reality is not especially comfortable, and there is a temptation to find comfort in old ways of knowing oneself through external validation. That's not what this new moon is all about. We get Hexagram 1 moving to 20. Creative Force to Seeing.

Ann Hedly — Wed, 01 Apr 2026 04:00:00 GMT

April 1, 2026 and it's a Full Pink Moon in Libra. You may be feeling that this moon is shedding light on obstacles in your way. It doesn't feel good, yet this may be exactly the medicine needed to get comfortable enough to see things in a new way. Perhaps that obstacle isn't what you think. Maybe that blockage is just another way of bringing you insight.

March 18, 2026 brings us the new moon in Pisces. We are just about to experience equinox and this moon gives us a heads up as we enter a new season. Can you stay still, offer yourself kindness and reach your thoughts to the long goals you have been imagining your whole life? Right now we get Hexagram 2.3 to 15. Earth, the Receptive moving to Integrity. If you listen, you'll get exclusive access to one version of the meaning of life or the purpose of the universe. Lucky us.

A Spell for Letting Go

Ann Hedly — Tue, 03 Mar 2026 05:21:15 GMT

March 3, 2026 and it's a full moon in Virgo plus an eclipse.

This is a time to feel the heaviness that has been lingering and to let go. Maybe there is a cosmic precision at work. I'll talk about my relationship to the Pavamana Mantra.

Asatoma Sadgamaya

There is unreal and also real. There is ignorance and knowledge, there is stuckness and liberation, There is death. There is immortality.

I am here with all of this.

And that's quite a powerful acknowledgment!

I hope you find some hope in this messy time. And if not hope, may you at least practice some hearty resistance in the form of inefficiency.

Ready Set Go

Ann Hedly — Tue, 17 Feb 2026 01:40:38 GMT

February 17, 2026 and it's both a new moon and a new lunar year, the year of the Horse. Things may feel chaotic and disordered and it's not going to get better. What will happen though, thankfully, is you will begin to ride with this momentum and find your steady, easy ground despite the forward motion. Sort of like getting over sea sickness and finding your sea legs, we will become accustomed to this new kind of speed. We learn to feel our peripheral energetic sight and this helps us to make sense of things. We get Hexagram 2. Earth, The Receptive unchanging.

Creative Quickening

Ann Hedly — Sun, 01 Feb 2026 22:32:31 GMT

February 1, 2026. Full Moon, Imbolc. The wonder of being whelmed without it being over or under. What is this surge? Here we feel all the fullness and slowly wring ourselves in order to release the good juicy talents and gifts we carry. Then we make way to do it all over again. And again. There is a joy here in the realization that our creative parts have made a new something that is being incubated. There is joy is being seen and belonging. This includes all. We long for a future that we can believe in and make proud gestures towards achieving. Hexagram 19. Nearing/Approach.

Welcome to Season 4! January 18, 2026 brings a new moon in Capricorn. Time to let go of the projects that have passed. This is not just a new chapter, it's a new book. Let go, temper the beast and stay with your own integral story. That's the wisdom for this new moon.

It's a HALF Moon! December 29, 2025. We say goodbye to 2025 and open the space, sweep the floor, start to prepare for 2026.

We get a wonderful Hexagram that should have us breathing a sigh of relief and I'll share a few wildly recorded moments that got me from there to here.

Happy Wishing, Happy New Year.

Tap the Brakes

Ann Hedly — Wed, 03 Dec 2025 21:24:30 GMT

This is the Full Cold Moon in Gemini on December 4, 2025. Every bit of my imaginative intuition says this is a time to rest, to stop, to get busy being yourself FOR yourself and no one else. It is the perfect time to reevaluate our people-pleasing tendencies. It is time to rest, re-think and reconsider how we value ourselves. For so many of us (in the northern hemisphere) this is also winter solstice. Staying home, going to bed early and staying cozy warm come naturally. I say lean into this and try even more to slow down. Use your brakes. Take a break. Give yourself the present of time. It is invaluable. Priceless. The greatest gift of all.

Beginning with the November 5th Super Moon in Gemini, it's taken me to to 11th to complete the task. Is that the message of this moon? The timing of things isn't all up to you? I think it is, even if I don't announce that explicitly. We get Hexagram 17.4-3.

Sprouting and new beginnings await. Even for a slug.

Ann Hedly — Tue, 21 Oct 2025 15:07:05 GMT

October 21, 2025. It's a glorious new moon. Open the notebook and enjoy a fresh page. This opportunity to tell the story you'd most like to hear doesn't arise just every day. Take a moment and discover the story inside you that is waiting to be heard.

In the Hole

Ann Hedly — Wed, 15 Oct 2025 00:15:28 GMT

The Full Moon of October 6th came like a sneaky wave. I got covid and had to lay low for a week. This time we may be feeling out of sorts, wondering about how to proceed. I don't offer much in the way of advice. You'll hear me flail and be generally discouraged by my own lack of enthusiasm. It took a week to pull together, but let's see what the I Ching has for us this time, Hexagram 45 Unchanging. Gathering. I'd advise considering what and who you would gather if you were having a seasonal celebration. What and who do you want to gather to prepare for the next season?

Outer Blocking Inner Calm

Ann Hedly — Mon, 22 Sep 2025 16:27:27 GMT

September 22, 2025 and it's a new moon in Libra. A new season, some say a new year. The time to gather our resources for a darker time ahead. We've been collaborating and finding unusual connections which can be so very inspiring, yet the time is not open for us to forge ahead. We have to attend to boring mundane tasks and details. Get the wood in, bring in the houseplants, do the laundry. This is all okay. Keep notes of all your inspirations, let this beginning be a new way of allowing the everyday to have prominence.

Say Goodbye

Ann Hedly — Sun, 07 Sep 2025 17:25:45 GMT

September 7, 2025. Welcome to our Full Moon in Pisces with a total lunar eclipse to make it fancy. For some reason, I've got it all wrong as I'm introducing and I say full Libra Moon in Pisces. Say what? I just messed it up, oh well! I'm titling this "Say Goodbye" because I talk about how goodbyes challenge our sense of love. I think Goodbyes can be expansive and also really so sad. This full moon gives us an extra cleaning and opportunity to let things go. This old saying let by gones be by gones may have some potency for this time period. As we let go, it's really nice to also imagine what is coming next. By taking one clear step towards something that holds sway in our imagination, even when we don't know what will come of it, we are slowly moving towards a future that holds more space for our wholeness.

Ann Hedly — Mon, 25 Aug 2025 02:12:37 GMT

August 23, 2005 is our New Moon in Virgo. This new moon is your most potent time to rewrite the exalted story of your life as if it is a fairytale. Do include every single detail that brings inspiration. As always, it is most important to understand that the current story you are telling yourself may be actually quite lame. You can tell a story that brings you more joy and more hope and, for goodness sake, more fun.

July 10, 2025 brings us another Full Buck Moon. Midyear thoughts remind me to look at my winter solstice wishing. The images around this moon have to do with getting a chance to mometarily surface about the mundane and see clearly. With this instant of clarity we can take the next right steps to fulfill our own regular wishing. Head wishing, heart wishing and body wishing.

Please don’t worry if you don’t have all your good wishes lined up for this auspicious moment. It’s okay because even if you don't, somewhere deep inside you, your wishes are doing their good work of holding that space for you. You can relax and continue breathing and occupying your own space.

June 11, 2025. The Full Strawberry Moon. My question for you is this: How can you expand your capacity to hold this moment? Is there more space inside you? Can you think differently, and detox negative thought patterns in order to be more effective at building your capacity for holding compassion? This full moon is pushing our limits and asking for a lot of integrity and intention. It moves us from The Traveler to Enthusiasm. Fortunately, Enthusiasm is a source engine for Joy. This is my wish for you: enthusiastic embodied integrated joy. 56.3.6->16

Ann Hedly — Mon, 12 May 2025 04:57:05 GMT

May 12, 2025 Full Moon. This is our full Flower Moon. I'm feeling squeezed and like I want to keep being hard on myself. Let Things Be is the wisdom that arrives via the I Ching and Hexagram 2. So, maybe, you and me both can take a pause for these next 2 weeks and just let life be what it is. I'm finding a need for flexibility and patience while I observe more and judge less. I hope you find a lot of ease, joy, and if you are so lucky, a box of kittens!

Keep Going

Ann Hedly — Sun, 27 Apr 2025 23:42:12 GMT

April 27, 2025, and it's the New Flower Moon. Always, new moons are a time of starting again. This one has a special flavor of exhaustion to it. It's not a bright new beginning, but rather a sort of beginning because we can't stop now. We have to keep going. It means uncovering inner resources that we didn't know we had available. This is good news, but it will not be easy. One bit of advice is to practice being yourself each day without fail, one little bit of time to be your fully human self, to see what could come of this dedication. Good luck, babies, this isn't easy.

Banner of Love

Ann Hedly — Sat, 12 Apr 2025 19:56:26 GMT

April 12, 2025. It's a Full Pink Moon in Libra. This is a tender moon, full enough to feel you are being stretched. You'll see possibilities that you aren't even sure are yet real. The only way to get there is to create a little bit of your own fairy dust by believing in magic that you haven't felt since you were a very little new human. Actively practicing love, believing in unknown and benevolent possibilities and letting your enthusiasm for life run free is the equation for getting through these times. It may seem hard and obstacle ridden, but you will find getting what you need isn't the same as getting what you want. Adventures indeed.

Quick Question

Ann Hedly — Sat, 29 Mar 2025 22:02:24 GMT

March 29, 2025 brings a new moon and a solar eclipse. It's shaky ground and geez it's hard to build here, nothing feels like a good place to start. However, it's just a little start that begins with a big question. Will you stand up for yourself? Will you make small connections that give you what you need to be expressive? It may be hard to hold hopefullness while things seem to be falling apart. This is a real test to see if you can speak for yourself even at your worst. It's slow and steady and focused change we are looking for now.

Getting Wings

Ann Hedly — Fri, 14 Mar 2025 04:04:44 GMT

March 13, 2025. The full worm moon. There is an eclipse with this moon and it's being called a blood moon because it will appear red when eclipsed. This seems to be a time of great change and there is an ask to be ready. This particular kind of getting ready has to do with decluttering negative habitual thinking. It's so easy to just believe that's the way it is, but with the kind of spring that is just beginning, the advice is to get ready for some big changes. Letting some old ways of thinking go will be necessary for opening into this new season.

February 27, 2025 New Worm Moon. This moon shows us a tower falling and we are ready to jump, but before we even build the courage to jump, it falls beneath us. We are devastated because we really wanted to jump and isn't the glory taken away by the falling? Anyway, we are stuck with a big mess and that's what this moon is all about. Being stuck in a mess and only being able to tend to one thing, one little thing that you hold close.

Past and future colliding. I bring in a forgiveness prayer and we get our oracle reading from the I Ching as well as an Art Oracle. All is well. We get advice to be patient and find our communities.

The Courage of Earth

Ann Hedly — Thu, 17 Oct 2024 04:46:19 GMT

October 17th, 2024 and it's a full Hunter's Moon. It's also a super moon so the bright moon is feeling huge in the sky this week. This time we are given the nudge to have courage and act even if nothing feels right and all circuits are open and noisy and everything feels like Go GO GO! It's okay to take time and listen. It's okay to be receptive and take a moment to listen to your intuition. Action is also staying still and listening.

Let Go What You Carry

Ann Hedly — Thu, 03 Oct 2024 04:00:15 GMT

October 2, 2024. It's a New Moon in Libra, our Hunter's Moon. There is an eclipse that we are concerned with this time, giving us a bit of topsy turvy energy. This moment is for setting things down and letting things go. It's time to lay low. Stay still and prepare for the new in this way.

Magic Markers for Change

Ann Hedly — Wed, 18 Sep 2024 05:59:33 GMT

Full moon, super moon and partial lunar eclipse. September 17th, 2024. What inspires you, and what happened in these last two weeks that felt interesting, magical, coincidental, wonderous, funny, weird and noteworthy? All of those instances and moments are important places to locate your awareness. Imagine a future that continues to hold and facilitate those kinds of hopeful connections. In these next two weeks, we will be given opportunities to look at what doesn't last and what is brittle. Once again recharging a strong connection to our center grounded focus is an important task on our to-do list.

End Days Innovation Release

Ann Hedly — Mon, 02 Sep 2024 04:30:38 GMT

September 2, 2024. It's a New Harvest Moon and time to get our to-do lists in order. This time we should probably use a pencil or be ready to re-write. Our lists will change as we go and collaborate with a grounded sense of innovative creativity. We don't know what we will be inspired to do next, but one step at a time will get us to dance in relationship with creativity. We are aiming to build a world that we want to participate in and one that offers us back a receptivity and collaboration what we so generously share. The I Ching offers us the guidance to remain still and know who we are from a place of center groundedness.

Boss Moon Shining

Ann Hedly — Mon, 19 Aug 2024 14:14:33 GMT

Full Super Blue Sturgeon Moon. August 19, 2024. Everything seems to be turning upside down and inside out. On the outside world that can look like weather upsets and political instability. On the inside of us? It can feel both vulnerable and exhausting with a tinge of no f***s left. This moon will boss us into a new way of being where we become more friendly with death who gives us the perspective that we've been desperately wanting. If you have the resources you need, you have many gifts and abundances, what then? What will you do with all these treasures of your life? You are unique and talented and curious and inspired. As the newly appointed boss of all that, what now brown cow? As things seem to go haywire in the world it's more important than ever to know what makes you feel centered and grounded.

Starting Like A Dragon

Ann Hedly — Tue, 06 Aug 2024 19:10:42 GMT

New Moon for August 4, 2024. But it's the 6th and I had a quiet start where I didn't publish for 2 days. That's just fine because this new moon is about potent and creative beginnings. Whatever it is you attend to, whatever it is you put your attention on... that will germinate and grow. This is the same wisdom as always, but this time it's like magic beanstalk beans. Or I think it might be. It's probably worth considering that what you want to see come into being creatively in your life should have some focus in your life these next two weeks.

This episode I use random chance to pull together a theme. I took 5 titles from my stacks and shelves and randomly selected a page. I like what shows up and here are the books for reference:

The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Translation by Edwin Bryant

You Can Heal Your Life, Louise Hay

Be Here Now, Ram Dass

The Time of Our Lives; The Ethics of Common Sense, Mortimer Adler

Ways of Being; Animal, Plants, Machines: The Search for a Planetary Intelligence. James Bridle

We consider Hexagram 1. The Creative, the Force, the Dragon. In the time of beginnings, what will you start?

Where Is The Tiger?

Ann Hedly — Sun, 21 Jul 2024 17:41:33 GMT

July 21st, 2024 and it's a Full Moon. I was given the advice to look back 18 months and consider what was happening then. The suggestion is that we've completed a cycle and can now look at some of those issues from a completely different perspective. For me, that's when this podcast began. I've come a long way, baby! This podcast has become a personal practice for me, and the results are less important. I mean, I love hearing from you, but this is what I do mostly for me. I started off thinking I was doing some public service via podcasting, but nope! The pleasure is ALL MINE! Ha. I'll talk about this plus our hexagram for this cycle which asks us to find our Tigers and stop becoming entangled in such things that limit our freedom. I hope you have a listen and let me know what you think!

Keep On, With the Force Don't Stop

Ann Hedly — Fri, 05 Jul 2024 18:54:31 GMT

July 5, 2024. It's a new Buck Moon in Cancer. Maybe, hopefully, some sweet nice things will happen and you can relax and take a deep breath out and just be content for a moment. It's the feeling of floating in a body of water and watching the sky move above you, the water below you, while you breathe and float peacefully. At least, that's what I hope for you. Just a little bit of that. Meanwhile, our big message is: Keep Going, don't give up, find that place where your creativity meets reality. Let yourself be inspired, and participate joyfully in this life you find.

Solstice! Old gunk, Yay!

Ann Hedly — Thu, 20 Jun 2024 15:39:13 GMT

June 21, 2024. It's the Full Strawberry Moon and Solstice all together now. Perhaps it's a great turning point, but some of the sludge-y gunk may get stirred up first. That's okay because you aren't alone. It may be hard to reach out, but at least try to go and see that you aren't alone in any of this. I'll tell you about my latest squirmy situation... and, offer hope of course.

Bugly Ugly All Around

Ann Hedly — Sat, 08 Jun 2024 04:37:45 GMT

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.

Embrace the Energy and Act!

Ann Hedly — Thu, 23 May 2024 13:06:58 GMT

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 energy. You are pretty great, now that you know this, use it.

Don't Give Up, Not Yet

Ann Hedly — Wed, 08 May 2024 22:43:10 GMT

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 this new moon and I reference a poem that I shared a couple of years ago at a local Story Slam.

Wittle Baybee Steps.

Ann Hedly — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 14:06:50 GMT

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. This is a time for teeny tiny steps in the direction of our inner authority taking charge. I don't foresee this being simple or easy. What I can see is that it will be rewarding and offer some moments of liberation.

Starting Over, Babies.

Ann Hedly — Mon, 08 Apr 2024 15:33:31 GMT

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 moment now. To be kind to your self and to enjoy a moment of restart. Everything is rebooted. Let's hope it works.

Have It All. Fry It Up In A Pan.

Ann Hedly — Sun, 24 Mar 2024 18:36:02 GMT

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 and take a long considered look at them? What stays, what goes? The last moon we got washed through, and some things fell away whether we liked it or not. This time, we have an opportunity to know even more about ourselves by looking at our desires, dreams, and wishes. I'll read you a short story I wrote to access some personal father wound healing.

I reference Rev. Carlton Pearson (though I think I call him a pastor, oops!) and this podcast: https://www.thisamericanlife.org/304/heretics

Also this Netflix about his story which I did watch after the podcast and quite enjoyed.

I don't mention this in the show, but here is a sweet blog post about writing out a personal and professional dreamlist - which I recommend! Modern Mrs Darcy

Someone Shouts for Joy

Ann Hedly — Sun, 10 Mar 2024 04:17:50 GMT

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.

The Awe of Small Things

Ann Hedly — Sat, 24 Feb 2024 17:24:40 GMT

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 bring us to the next moment of right action. Now is a time for learning to flow with obstacles and to back off when necessary to fill up and find others with whom to gather forces. We aren't here to do our doing alone. We need each other and some of the folks you need, you haven't even found yet. Our hexagram gives us Obstacles and Censorship.... and yes, we feel it!

Your Heart Knows What You Want

Ann Hedly — Fri, 09 Feb 2024 18:50:15 GMT

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 revolution that is necessary for our world.

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.

Getting Friendly with Darkness

Ann Hedly — Thu, 11 Jan 2024 02:46:11 GMT

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 that gives me what I need to stay there. Thank you for joining me here for another season of What Is Going On, Anyway? The I-Ching gives us 3.5-24 Sprouting to Returning. And both hexagrams are excellent for contemplating ideas around starting a new year with flexibility and hope.

Polishing the S**t

Ann Hedly — Tue, 26 Dec 2023 04:28:54 GMT

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.

Ceasefire and Hope

Ann Hedly — Wed, 13 Dec 2023 18:53:46 GMT

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 us Radical Change and Sprouting. Both are hopeful and necessitate a big round of courage and fortitude to find out what stays and what goes as we forge into the future together.

Finding Your Shiny

Ann Hedly — Wed, 13 Dec 2023 18:53:02 GMT

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 little sticky.

Tending the Hearth and Fire

Ann Hedly — Mon, 27 Nov 2023 23:46:53 GMT

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 flame of some sort or another. Let's welcome Hestia and find our feet on the ground once again. Creativity awaits!

Storytelling for a New World

Ann Hedly — Mon, 13 Nov 2023 17:02:47 GMT

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 storytelling magic that brings me back to my childhood.

Peering into the Darkness

Ann Hedly — Sat, 28 Oct 2023 04:00:00 GMT

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 talents and intelligences are ready to emerge.

Responding by Grounding

Ann Hedly — Sat, 14 Oct 2023 00:07:10 GMT

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 attend to what being that vulnerable means. How do we stay with that uncertainty? How do we lend our strength? I also pull a Wild Unknown card for a little extra support.

Urgency and Bullies

Ann Hedly — Fri, 29 Sep 2023 03:11:16 GMT

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.

Playing Hooky with Ann

Ann Hedly — Thu, 14 Sep 2023 22:53:09 GMT

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 moon’s hexagram and discover some wisdom about joining forces to move together into this unknown future.

Giving Up On Dreams

Ann Hedly — Thu, 31 Aug 2023 04:11:16 GMT

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. And it's a blue moon, which means it's the second full moon of August and the last blue moon until the year 2037. This full moon is having me ask the question, What is going on when you're afraid you might give up on something you thought you wanted?

Full Sturgeon Moon, August 1, 2023

Ann Hedly — Tue, 01 Aug 2023 19:14:56 GMT

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 "Great Exceeding" and that is just like my garden right now. What is overloaded? What have you outgrown? What must you do? This leads us to facing that which is our obstacle, or the thing that blocks us. Our question to consider is "what work can you do when nothing is working?' We can look at this personally and collectively. Isn't it the strangest thing that congressional hearings brought up alien testimony and yet the public response is very mild, muted almost as if everyone is thinking "so what". What if the wildest truth is unearthed in you and your head receives a 'so what'? Our hearts are longing for some relief from the insanity of modernity, yet we still have to carry on, get the meals made and pay our bills to live. Welcome to midsummer, folks.

New Sturgeon Moon, July 17th 2023

Ann Hedly — Mon, 17 Jul 2023 20:06:20 GMT

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 and I begin.
So yes, these two weeks may be challenging, but it's not meant to wreck us. If we can listen carefully to our heart's desires and practice courage we might come away from this time with a new resolve towards inserting our understanding into creating a just world.
Take a walk me, or a drive or just push play and I'll talk to you while you do busywork. Thanks for joining me this time on the podcast. As you listen, you may notice some volume changes please adjust your sound as needed. I’m just a baby podcaster and haven’t figured out how to solve my sound input problem after I’ve already recorded! I’ll do better in future: maybe, probably, I hope!

Ann Hedly — Mon, 03 Jul 2023 21:26:01 GMT

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, Beauty and Community await us this full moon time.

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 the I Ching advise? Join me for all this and a little more this time on the podcast.

Full Strawberry Moon, June 3, 2023

Ann Hedly — Fri, 02 Jun 2023 19:44:00 GMT

Welcome to a delightful full moon time. Finally the frost is gone and we've got some room in the soil to stretch out and take up space. What happens when we are rooted? We feel safe and supported and a spark of desire is given the oxygen it needs to burn. That is the creative spark and the beginning of art. What-is-Art is a very big question and I only begin to attend to that in this episode. Chakras, Art, and our Hexagram for these 2 weeks await.

New Strawberry Moon, May 19, 2023

Ann Hedly — Thu, 18 May 2023 21:56:24 GMT

Welcome back to this next moon cycle. Intelligence is on my mind and we will discuss artificial intelligence. AI is in the news. Should we fear it? Run from it? What is our responsibility as the outer world continues to change? I also consider that appreciation is a way of bringing more love into the world and creating a flow pattern that gets us through the inevitably tough times of anxiety and depression. Our reading includes return to a hexagram that we received in March and also some promise that things are getting better... albeit slowly.

I will reference

This book, Ways of Being: Animals, Plants, Machines: The Search for a Planetary Intelligence
And my class on YouTube: Inner Authority and Practicing Freedom

Full Flower Moon, May 5, 2023

Ann Hedly — Fri, 05 May 2023 02:35:18 GMT

With the extra spiciness of a lunar eclipse, this full moon is bringing us to a slow-motion-running-in-a-dream-state pace. Why does everything feel so difficult? Is this really the end of times? This episode talks about how to prepare for and engage with this full moon time. Do you want a seasoned guide to bring you through the End of Times? I've got the answers for you and they aren't what you think. Also, Spring is being very slow up here in Maine and that gives us a chance to think things through, plan the garden and get ready for the next stages of a changing world.

Ann Hedly — Wed, 19 Apr 2023 03:46:38 GMT

It’s a rare hybrid solar eclipse this month and a new moon. What does AI have to do with this new moon? How can we understand setting intentions for a new moon? What does gardening have to do with philosophical decision making? I’ll talk about these things and more in this episode. Plus, you’ll find out what Hexagram is ours for this 2 week cycle and what that means to understanding our inner and outer worlds.

Ann Hedly — Wed, 05 Apr 2023 16:59:43 GMT

It’s full moon time! We’ll talk about the story of Chiron, and gulp! Have THE SEX TALK. It was bound to happen. What is our ever bleeding wound? And how to find balance as we approach these next 2 weeks of springtime (emergent fall in the southern hemisphere).

Welcome Equinox! March 20, 2023

Ann Hedly — Mon, 20 Mar 2023 14:42:15 GMT

The New Pink Moon in Aries is here. There is a bustle of excitement that spring has arrived in the Northern Hemisphere, the season is changing and there seems to be a lot of support for small achievable steps that feel energizing and aligned. There is a magical balance between light and dark right now, it feels important to utilize this time to understand our own light and darknesses and how they keep us right where we need to be. Here. In the Present moment. Be here now; Be here, wow! Happy Equinox to us all.

New Worm Moon in Pisces 2/20/23

Ann Hedly — Sun, 19 Feb 2023 22:21:38 GMT

What can we know about this new moon time? There is more to discover around community healing, and reaching for right action absent of personal stories and attachment to a personal sense of worthiness because of those actions. What if we do the right thing because it is there to be done? I muse around our collective inheritance that awaits.
