What Is Going On, Anyway?
by Ann Hedly
As an intuitive, I use self-inquiry and personal journaling to forecast an oracle for the current moon cycle. Every 2 weeks I bring you the current guidance. This concerns our personal, spiritual, political and philosophical lives. I'm Ann Hedly, your host, and I am a 50-year-old divorced mom of three who has auto-immune issues and is emerging from early motherhood while finding my way artistically. I’m adept at seeking wisdom from everyday life. I use intuition, personal experience, and the I-Ching to discover connections and emotional fluency. Photo by Ming Webber

A New Map
At our new moon in Aries back in April, the advice was to sit down already. Now, it is to enjoy the warmth available by staying seated and noticing the radiance at your solar plexus. This center is radiant, and our work is to recognize, appreciate and honor the gift of a radiant center. I wonder...

Free for the Taking
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…

Real Eyes Dreaming

Take A Seat
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....

Everywhere An Obstacle

Slugaboo
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.…

In the Hole
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…

No One Is Looking
July 24, 2025 and it's a NEW MOON! This is a good one, an epic rebirth, though we won't really understand that and it's going to take a while. The ultimate question to ask and the only thing you need to consider right now is this: Who are you when no one is looking? Take care of that person.…

Shock Joy

Keep Going
