What Is Going On, Anyway?

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

    Flowering In

    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

    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. "I Am What I Am", Gloria Gaynorwww.annhedly.com This is a public episode.

    Everywhere An Obstacle

    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. www.annhedly.com This is a public episode.

    A Spell for Letting Go

    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 SadgamayaTamasoma JyotirgamayaMrytorma AmritamgamayaThere 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.

    Ready Set Go

    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.

    Creative Quickening

    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. www.annhedly.comwww. robhopkins.net This is a public episode.

    Tap the Brakes

    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. www.annhedly.com This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit annhedly.substack.com

    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. Even for a slug. www.annhedly.com This is a public episode.

    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 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

    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. www.annhedly.com This is a public episode.

    Say Goodbye

    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.

    Main Character Energy

    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.

    Give A Big No

    August 9, 2025, and it's a Full Moon. With Patience for the Journey we know that this next 2 weeks will be a lot of reaching then grounding and reaching some more. It's a lot like summer travel actually; how we are wanting this journey, but also really needing to rest a lot as we go.

    Shock Joy

    July 10, 2025 brings us another Full Buck Moon. Midyear thoughts remind me to look at my winter solstice wishing.

    June 25th, 2025 is the new Buck moon. This is a moon in cancer conjunct Jupiter. We are being told it is a benevolent time to send our wishes into action. 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. www.annhedly.com This is a public episode.

    At Capacity

    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->16www.annhedly.comwww.patreon.com/watermoonstudios This is a public episode.

    Let Things Be

    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.

    Keep Going

    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. www.annhedly.comwww.patreon.com/watermoonstudios This is a public episode.

    Banner of Love

    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.www.annhedly.com This is a public episode.

    Quick Question

    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.

    Getting Wings

    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. www.annhedly.comSam Lee sings with the nightingalesPatreon This is a public episode.

    Hold One Thing Close

    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.

    Magic Markers for Change

    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

    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.

    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

    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 BryantYou Can Heal Your Life, Louise HayBe Here Now, Ram DassThe Time of Our Lives; The Ethics of Common Sense, Mortimer AdlerWays of Being; Animal, Plants, Machines: The Search for a Planetary Intelligence. James BridleWe consider Hexagram 1. The Creative, the Force, the Dragon. In the time of beginnings, what will you start? This is a public episode.

    Where Is The Tiger?

    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!Link to Futurist Pledge: www.seandorseydance.comwww.annhedly.comwww.patreon.com/watermoonstudios This is a public episode.

    Keep On, With the Force Don't Stop

    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. This is a public episode.

    Solstice! Old gunk, Yay!

    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. This is a public episode.

    Bugly Ugly All Around

    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.

    Embrace the Energy and Act!

    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. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit annhedly.substack.com

    Don't Give Up, Not Yet

    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. Click here for Ann reading her Poem. This is a public episode.

    Wittle Baybee Steps.

    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. This is a public episode.

ABOUT THIS SHOW

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
