Spiritually Speaking with Jessica & Samantha - Sagittarius Season and Retrograde Realness

Episode Date: December 13, 2024

In this week’s episode, Jess and Sam catch up and explore the cosmic themes of the moment. We dive into the adventurous energy of Sagittarius season, the reflective challenges of Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius (which even made its presence known during our call!), and the fiery introspection of Mars retrograde.We talk about how these transits align with the winter season—a time for slowing down, reflecting, and reconnecting with what truly matters. As always, we share personal stories and offer insights to help you navigate this energetic season with intention and ease.

Hello and welcome to Spiritually Speaking with me Sam and with me Jess. Welcome back. Hey, how are you finding the two week thing now? Was it nice to have a break last week? What was I doing? No, I just mean because we're recording now every other week, aren't we? I thought you meant I had a two week break and I was like, have I? No. I have got a two week break coming but not right now. Oh it was nice, it was good.

Oh good, I'm glad. Yeah it was nice to, but I was really looking forward to doing the episode today and I really missed it. Yeah same. It was a nice feeling. Yeah. Oh that's so funny. How are you doing babes, what's going on? Yeah I'm good, i am recording from the

salon my first time recording from here so um i apologize if there's any delays or anything or random people walking in i've got to pause it but fingers crossed it won't um when i say random people i'm having my sign finally done outside yes so that is being done at the moment um but all is good I was just catching Jess up briefly before we started recording on I feel like the twins are just hard work at the moment like and you know what me saying hard work I feel so guilty saying that because they're really not hard like the other day me and Andy were like they're such good girls like they are great and I'm sure they're not hard in any respect in comparison to other kids but they just it's just becoming harder like they are um on the move now so they crawl so they're into everything blake is obsessed with

the christmas tree so anytime i put her down i just see her like crawling away over to the christmas tree to like the presents that are underneath it and I'm like no not yet you have to wait till the 25th um so yeah it's just a lot of changes with them really they're obviously growing quite a lot they're not obviously really babies anymore they are requiring a lot of different things and needs that they were before so it's just trying to keep up with that really and there's two of them I just feel like yes that's yeah level it really is and like I know that obviously it's not like anybody expects it not to be hard with twins but um it really is like when I see people with one, like one of my friends have got one or

even if like, if one of mine wakes up and I pick one of them up and I go downstairs with them, I'm like, wow, this is so much easier. You know what I mean? Um, so yeah, it is, it's quite tough at the moment. I'll be honest. Like even the other day, uh, last night, even River just was screaming and like, it came out of nowhere we had no idea why it's almost like she was having a night terror and andy is in the room like trying to settle her and he's obviously all he's thinking is don't wake up blake don't wake up blake and luckily she doesn't but she's screaming and then he manages to get her back to sleep and he puts her back down and it's fine um but yeah the whole time you're just panicking that she's going to wake up the other one.

Yeah. Yeah. No, I get that. So yeah, it's... Juggling act. Yes, it is. It's a bit of a juggling act, but it's fine. We're very much aware of this season of life that we are in currently.

And we are just rolling with that and accepting of that. One of our friends asked us to go out for New Year's Eve and we would have rolling with that and accepting of that like one of our friends asked us to go out for new year's eve and we would have loved to have gone like that's something that we would have loved to have gone to but i was like we're just not in that season of life right now yeah and that's okay like i want nothing more than to wake up on new year's day fresh if i wake up with a hangover and two babies to look after yeah like that's just gonna start my year literally the worst way um i couldn't think of anything worse so i'm just not in that season of life right now and yeah i'm gonna miss out on things but i'm

getting loads of other nice things you know yeah exactly and i think that's it it's embracing it with what your circumstances are and not sort of holding on to what it was or what my old life 100% yeah exactly I'm completely just embracing the new change and I really do feel so grateful like I feel like every weekend when because we do so much as a family we're constantly together like me and Andy tackle it completely together we never really leave one another because we do know how hard it is yeah with the two of them on your own unless we have to um and there are many times I feel like I do just look around at the four of us together with the dog and I just think god like I'm so so grateful I'm so happy so yeah it's there's a lot of good in it as well and also new year is so overrated like I just yeah 100% no you are right it is definitely overrated um

I think just because you know what it is living here and you know being young not having responsibilities and not having kids we have always gone out for new year's eve and we've always had a really good time um but yeah things are just different this year that's okay and it is overrated you're right a lot of it is just pressure to go out i'm never up late so i can't stay up so would you never even see midnight no never so now obviously i never see it because that's my life right now. Yeah. But past, I would have always like gone out or done something for that. But yeah.

So do you think not even see the fireworks? No, like literally I genuinely fall asleep about 9, 8, 9 p.m. every night. So once it hits about 10, like my eyes cannot stay awake and I just I just to me I prefer New Year's Day and I'm like you I like to feel fresh and normally I wake up early I'm usually at home in the UK my parents live right by the river I get up I take my tea and it can be like really early and I go and sit at the river and I just talk to the universe and spirit and just sort of have a little moment about what I want the year to be. And usually on New Year's Eve last year, I went with my friend down the river. She always laughs. I always go to the river when like it's anything spiritual but it was like about 8 p.m it's dark and I was like just like release everything of

2024 and it was freezing and it was pitch black but I like to do weird things like that because I just feel like I prefer to sort of use the sentiment of new year but I don't really believe in new year um it doesn't connect with me but there is a collective energy of like releasing and starting something new and I'm I like to work with anything like that so yeah I'm a bit boring um no I think that's fine I think it's really like grounding as well though doing that and honestly the the new years I have had in Dubai yes I've had great nights out but the next day has been an absolute write-off like I have felt horrendous on the last however many new year's days I mean last year I was heavily pregnant so

I wasn't doing anything but the years before that I've had the worst hangovers from hell and yeah I just don't want to do that this year I want to get up I want to go to the beach I want to go for a walk I want to do nice things and feel fresh and I completely agree with you on the whole new year new me like we've said this before last year like on that it's not really a good idea to think like that um but there is something very refreshing of like a new diary for the new year absolutely you know like that like turning a page of like okay I can I can feel afresh I can put behind last year what I no longer serves me and I can move forward with whatever but yeah I think there's definitely a lot of goodness in going into a new year feeling good well what the new year is is basically like how we

acknowledge like a full moon and if you're doing that every month so like the way I work with cycles I'm always doing it it's very yeah that's normal for me to go to the full moon release what no longer serves me and put intentions in in the new moon so I I like it it's familiar it's it's a lifestyle that I have so yeah I like it but when I um even when I was like 20 18 I remember being like in Southend the night out and like calling my mum like can someone come and get me and she was like we've all been drinking and the taxi wasn't picking us all up till like 3am and honestly it was like the worst new year ever I think I sat in the chip shop because I struggle with crowds and like yeah when I reflect back with more of my spirituality when I was younger and didn't realize how receptive I was to energy

like things like that just wiped me um but like it's just yeah um and also it's quite an emotional time new year a lot of people when they like reflect like some people may have had some of the worst years of their life and some people may have had the best years of their life and some people it might have just been average or whatever but what you find is there is a deeper emotion that's kind of forced on us it's not a bad thing to reflect but it can be a little bit heavy and when you're sort of in big crowds and people are drinking some people are drinking because they're like thank god it's over you know and some people are drinking because you know so there's a lot of energy around so

I just hibernate and go down the river do my spells and then go to bed and wake up fresh and continue my spells yeah yeah and someone I know meditates over new year they meditate for the hour before and the hour after and I think that's really nice but I'd fall asleep yeah and now you said that though I don't even know actually if we will stay up for new year I just assume that we would because we always have but actually yeah I suppose what actually is the point really I just yeah it's completely that if I stayed up late I put it wouldn't be it's actually difficult for me to stay up for midnight oh yeah same yeah it's a challenge so yeah and I'm like the latest I'm going to bed at the moment is like 10 yeah so yeah and anyone that knows me I always laugh people always comment

on when I look tired like it's like I'm a kid you've used that with me I've but I know I've said this though before like I'm sure I've said this on here before that is the worst insult that you can ever give to someone is telling them that they look tired if you tell me that I look tired honestly you'll be met with like the wrath of me because if you've told me I look tired right one I either am tired and you've just told me that not only do I feel like shit I also look like shit two if you have told me that I look tired and I feel fine I don't feel tired and you've just told me that I look like shit when I actually feel great and now all of a sudden I feel like shit you just told me I look like shit so the feedback I get is sometimes when people watch back their zoom calls when

they're in sessions with me it's like every bit of energy has gone because I've been working with spirit whatever and they're like and your glasses are wonky you're like looking at the screen and I'm looking a bit disheveled yeah it's like I start all like by the end of it I'm like completely disheveled so yeah honestly it's like that when you're doing hair as well because you just take on so much from your client that by the end of it you're just like yeah absolutely so I hear you girl I hear you babes so how are you please tell us all about your um vision board workshops I've really been looking forward to hearing about that so I hosted a vision board workshop yesterday in the UK. And the reason that I like to do things is I've got a lovely set of community and clients here in the UK. And I always like to do something when I come back.

But I didn't want to do a circle because I was a little bit just wasn't feeling connected to doing a circle. I wanted to do something a bit more creative, a bit more fun. So that's why I decided to do the vision board workshop and I love vision boarding and my vision board from last year has literally everything has come true um and there were some bold things on there um and I was I want to share how I do that so other people can do it because I did on my stories um about um it's not about paper and glue it's about intuition and energy so this is like spell work and it's intention it's like doing these things so what I was doing which makes it slightly different to maybe like a manifesting thing is it's important for me that you access the energy of what you're worthy of and you use that in your vision board because

if you see what you're worthy of you know where your limitations are you can then push your limitations don't keep them um but it's important to sort of feel into it because if you just sort of put stuff and there's no sort of connection, it's a little bit random. Where like when you do it and you really feel it, you feel this worthiness, you feel this abundance, you know, you can really get a lot from it. So we do like a big meditation and obviously with collective energy when there's, I think there was about just over 20 of us in the room. So it was a big, big group of energy oh wow yeah yeah so it was able to sort of bring all that together and it was really powerful and then we did a little closing ceremony and everyone put an intention out with their vision board um and it was just really nice really wholesome I loved it I did my vision board a bit before um because I was more there as like

you know holding space obviously um but like my vision board like I really sort of put some good stuff on there for 2025 um and the main thing that the vision board so like we're in winter and if you follow me on Instagram you'll see that I'm sort of talking about this a bit at the moment and we're going to talk about this on the episode today um but we are in this hibernation period right now and and not everyone will align with this it's okay I'm just sharing what aligns with me what many people for many generations have followed and what we've stopped doing now in this very busy society that we live in okay yeah so we're in hibernation period and we're here to plant the seeds and we're here to sort of put our manifestations there knowing that we don't need to take action right now it's about letting things

grow naturally when the spring comes because that's when the babies are born like the baby animals the lambs the flowers or the vegetables so what we're doing is we're in this preparation, like this incubation period. So that's why I wanted to do it in winter, because what you're doing is you're doing it in your more wholesome, feminine energy, which is letting the seed sort of grow. So it's very nice. And then when the spring equinox comes then you can start putting a bit more action into it um so yeah really powerful loved it really nice group of people I had a mixture of men and women which was nice my mum and dad joined which was lovely because dad can't come to these things because he's normally only women um and it was funny

because my mum wants a new kitchen and um's 50-50 but by the end of it everyone in the circle was like get the kitchen it's mad yeah the kitchen the place if he was a bit outnumbered um which is funny and my nieces joined as well because I was just like do you know what they should learn about these things so um they both really enjoyed it as well so it's really nice god I wish I had learned about stuff like this earlier yeah I think I was quite early to it but I do but I do also think it's such a nice way to get kids to it actually when I look back I actually did make vision boards but I just didn't know what they were like I used to cut bits out of magazines and put like rooms that I loved and like I would have loved in a house and things like that I used

to do a lot of things like that as a child so I suppose maybe I did do it but I just wasn't necessarily aware of what I was doing and I would definitely urge anyone with young kids to do this over the Christmas time or when you've got a bit of time and the main focus I find is words in magazines so like my niece had words like smarter um caring she's very cute she's Taurus so it's very very kind words and it gave her time to just really like put some intention into those things and then it also helps bring up a conversation with them about you know what they've put why they put it things like that and so I definitely recommend anyone who's got like you know children or nieces or nephews whatever

to do that with them um but yeah obviously I'm that auntie like I've got more tarot cards for Christmas like they're they're ready now they're ready for the initiation of that stuff um and they always have crystals but really like they always say like where I'm away they always say to my mum they all call me bet bet but then I wish bet bet was here because she always gives good advice and things like that but they've I talk to them on snapchat because that's how they communicate so that's kind of where we get the spiritual guidance that way um but yeah it's really important to talk about those things and you see a difference in them like they were so calm so chilled um you know the meditating was a bit much for them when

I was doing the meditation I just saw Maisie staring at me like what are we doing and I was like zip it don't speak yeah don't speak so yeah but anywayes, that's mainly for me, obviously back home, getting ready for Christmas. So life's good. A little bit in the head right now, but that makes sense with what's going on. So I wanted to share with everyone about Sagittarius season, but also some of the transits that are happening. And we've got the full moon coming up. So I of I'm going to bring it all together if that's okay and I think everyone absolutely yeah will resonate to some degree so Sagittarius season Samantha do you know much about Sagittarius I don't know anything about Sagittarius but what I will say is I worked with a couple of people once who were Sagittarius um and had not very pleasant

experiences and these were people that um were so like obsessed with posting about their star sign as well and it just made me be like oh no I don't like anyone who's Sagittarius which is not true because after that I've met some lovely people who are but um yeah oh god I had a really bad experience with one um when I was in Dubai it was Sagittarius she was an absolute nightmare yeah interesting so yeah that would make sense with your Pisces moon because you've got a little bit of tension when it comes to Pisces and Sagittarius so that could have been what was showing up yeah yeah so remember that we all have Sagittarius so that could have been what was showing up there yeah so remember that we all have Sagittarius in our chart yeah the sun is prominent but some of us will have our moon in

Sagittarius risings and different things now I know lots of you listening might not understand that so I'm going to mainly focus on the energy and how it might show up and you might think of people that are Sagittarius and think yeah like yeah I get that and you might see some bits in yourself as well so Sagittarius is a fire sign and to me it's the most spiritual of the fire signs it's the mutable which is flexible has movement it kind of has this free spirit and it's ruled by Jupiter which is very abundant so there's something really cool about Sagittarius. And that is the light. Now, you may have experienced the shadow of Sagittarius and those sorts of things, which you do with all zodiacs. And actually, if someone triggers you, it's because there's

something in you that is highlighting. So it might be that you're neglecting part of your Sagittarius in your chart or something like that so when I think about Sagittarius so like my niece for example she's a Sagittarius um she's got a bigger way of looking at life there's a bigger picture there's something that is um the brain can expand that's how I describe it. Okay. I also find with Sagittarius that there is this way of not necessarily wanting to follow society or doing things sort of, you know, they want to expand, they want to do things different. They've got this fire, they've got this spirit. So when a Sagittarius isn't living like that, which many won't be because the world is very restrictive. They might feel a bit heavy at times. They might feel like I'd love to have that, but the life I live doesn't give me that.

So there's kind of a bit of a contradiction I find with Sagittarius for the life that they live and the world that we're in right now. So Sagittarius is sort of from the end of November, the 21st to the 21st of December um and it's it's just an energy like I don't have many Sagittarius people in my life um I have a lot of Scorpios and Capricorns but Sagittarius sits in the middle and I don't have as much but I the guy that I was dating when I was traveling he was a Sagittarius rising and I really saw that so there was like this real sense of freedom um he was very open-minded didn't really judge so like obviously I'm a bit you know some people call me a bit woo-woo he thought it was quite cool he was really interested you know so I find with Sagittarius

there is this open mind and my niece is like that you know if I say to her like should we do this or she's like yeah cool and if I'm like should we meditate she's like yeah okay you know she's sort of open to trying new things um so yeah interesting one of my friends always dates Sagittarius men and they're all emotionally available which really makes me giggle um but like it's like a Sagittarius man the ones I've experienced and again this isn't all of them there's there is like this sort of they're a bit different I find there's something a bit more yeah my cousin's actually a seductress yeah and he thinking about my cousin he is very entrepreneurial uh he's I don't want to boss I want to do this my own way he's got drive because the fire's there um he really wants to learn he really wants to

know things so there's always like this feeling I've found that's very really curious and sort of open yeah oh yeah I really don't know that many Sagittarius to be fair um am I right in thinking it'll be after the 21st of November yes yep yeah okay so I do know a couple more than I was thinking of but um not yeah I feel like it's not a strong star sign for me either in terms of one that I have a lot of in my life yeah um but yeah I suppose I have just clung to one bad experience no but so when like this is a little bit more astrology chat but where Sagittarius is mutable so is Pis, so is Virgo and so is Gemini. Okay.

So what you find with that, there's a little bit of tension between them. So your moon would have had tension with their sun. Right. And then that brings something that maybe other people might have not experienced or maybe you would have seen more so like for example with me I have had some Gemini's sons that have caused me a little bit of pain and there's a square there so there's a bit of tension there so then that brings that up and maybe that's why I experienced that and my T wren doesn't for example okay yes so that would be why a bit confusing um but yeah it's it's it's definitely a magical sign i really like it um but freedom is always the word i hear with sagittarius there's sort of this free spirit um yeah not following conventional ways um and enjoying it which is I met someone quite recently actually

who's a Sagittarius and um I got on with her so well really really well and very much actually free-spirited yeah not really doesn't really care about what other people think yeah um very much like a warm heart very like family orientated um yeah really really lovely girl actually yeah um that was who I went to Bali with I thought so she was describing her yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah um but she was Sagittarius so that gave me a um change of opinion on the star side yeah and maybe you've evolved a bit with your Sagittarius 100% definitely gotcha um yeah absolutely 100% I would have evolved since then but um yeah I do think like you say there's there's shadow and light in every absolutely and and you know that's just a more

sort of general sort of description of the Sagittarius energy but what I'm going to do is I'm also going to talk about Mercury retrograde because that's happening in Sagittarius. So Sagittarius is going to be quite affected by this. And I'm also going to talk about Mars retrograde because that only happens every couple of years and we're in it now. We're in it. So Mercury retrograde, we all know about.

Actually, we're going to be coming to the end of it as this episode goes out. So Mars, Mercury moves forward, which is when we call it stationing direct on the 15th, OK? So you're at the end of it as you're listening to this. And it has been impacting sort of communication, travel, technology. So many people have had flat tires and issues with their cars. It's unbelievable, like crazy. So there's a lot about transport with

this retrograde that's really sort of been impacted and I've had some technology have you had some stuff yes 100 technology and there's no reason for it either yeah yeah yes I mean this is just a little bit of like a um a work chat but paying salaries I've had a bloody nightmare with this month because of different things and yeah I've had issues with clients paying me things have been stuck in the between the cloud yes yeah and it's it's so yeah I've had a couple of those and I'm like oh it's just but once you know it's mercury retrograde you just go oh mercury okay and you just you know it's going to get solved you know that yeah you know and even like my mum the other day she was like the car's not working

and I was like mercury and once you kind of know it's mercury you're just like whatever because do you know what it's just it's just don't fight it just surrender and yes and we're at the end of it so well done everyone we're almost through it and yeah so Sagittarius is this is where it's happening in the sky in the part of Sagittarius so again things like expansion and freedom and all those things could be a little bit restricted with this retrograde so you may be feeling some resistance in those areas of your life okay because there is there is action and fire connected to Sagittarius but this is the thing that I want to touch on which is I feel more important is this Mars retrograde because we're all going to be feeling this I put something on

Patreon quite a few people engaged with it and were saying like yeah this makes so much sense of the resistance I'm feeling and this will be Mars okay because Mars is all about action all about drive and when it's in retrograde it really throws things off okay like I say it only happens every couple of years so it's not like Mercury happening every few months this is a different energy and it will feel a bit more prominent so firstly do not think that you're doing anything wrong and don't think i need to give up on these things or whatever it is if you're getting pushback or there's frustrations or there's delays just just work with it okay it's not it's not sort of signs from spirit saying this is wrong it is just the energy however you can learn from it they may be showing you some things that need to be fine-tuned or changed or tidied okay so that's what's really good about retrogrades so say for example you're

moving house and things are getting delayed and you're really frustrated don't get angry at the process look at the space and time you've been given to make changes what do you need to tidy up what do you need to sort out like look and be and be grateful for the gift that you've been given which is to reflect and tidy things up okay that's how I like to look at it the same with me a bit with mercury retrograde a few of these payments are in the clouds and I'm like they'll come come to me. I'm not worried about that. However, I need to change some processes connected to that. And I've been wanting to do that for a while. So that kind of, that retrograde helps me feel that frustration and understand why I'm getting it. So I believe retrogrades bring

frustrations to help you see some splinters of problems that you need to fix okay it's that whole phrase of it's not happening to you it's happening for you absolutely and i always say that with these things yeah um so there's a lot about so so mars is in retrograde in leo so those leos out there sun moon rising moon rising in particular, will be feeling this. But then it's going to retrograde. So it moves backwards. So it's actually going to move into cancer in January. OK, so then the cancer energy is back with Mars.

And then in sort of I think it's February the 23rd off the top of my head, it goes direct. So it starts moving forward again. So we've got this for a couple of months so we've got to sort of get familiar with it and start to understand the energy and work with it now we're in winter like I said we're in hibernation so this is actually the perfect time to have this retrograde because the energies just aren't on our side they They're really not. But it's not terrible. It's not a bad thing. It's just not necessarily the time to be doing lots of New Year's resolutions, lots of goal setting and all that stuff, in all honesty. It's more about sitting, feeling and tidying up the mess that you may have made unintentionally.

What are you going to say sam oh no have you froze sorry my sigma um things going oh it was it was like really glitchy but i don't know if it's going to be or not on the oh record um let me pause it whether it'll just be glitchy for me or whether it'll just so that is a perfect example of mercury and mars in retrograde literally i feel like you're mercury and mars yeah absolutely babe so to clarify there's no glitches um but it was on sam's end so i think we've got a delay but i think we're all good um how funny we are talking about them and they come and perform they love it don't they yes they love you that's what it is they do I love them I love

you spirits and planets right so I can't really remember what I was saying so I may repeat some things but I was just sort of talking about sort of the resistance in the energy. So like surrender to a bit of downtime, but don't feel like it's not productive. So for me right now, I'm feeling incredibly creative. I'm feeling as though every idea is arriving. And even like for Sam before the call, I was like, Sam, I thought about this for you. And I thought about that,

that I'm having lots of things come through. I'm just not acting on them. I'm just writing them down. I'm feeling into them. And I'm letting them kind of like marinate in my energy. What feels good, what feels right. Yeah, almost like work them out first. Yes.

Yeah, figure them out. Because of the retrograde, things aren't fully clear right now. So you may not feel as though you're getting the results that you want or you're not getting the things that you thought were the right thing because this energy is there so like feel it work with it knowing that it's going to change over the next couple of months for the better and the results will come if you're feeling these things. It's absolutely there for you. It's just a case of knowing that it might not be able to grab it right now. Now, a message I'm getting through as I'm speaking is some of you may be feeling a bit heavy or you may be feeling a bit down and a bit sad because retrogrades can also do that.

So, for example, I'm a problem solver so Sam so we like to when these energies come up we go into self-development mode and we look at everything and we're like okay I can work this out blah blah blah and that's great but sometimes we actually can control too much when we're in that mode we don't actually let it do the work but for some people and definitely for me I'd say a few years ago when this energy was there I would take it really personally and I'd feel very heavy and if things weren't aligning in my life I would just feel really shit in all honesty I'd feel really low and I'd say what's the point why am I doing this don't give up whatever it is even if it's just that you want to make some lifestyle

changes whether it's big business goals or whatever it is you're it's just that you want to make some lifestyle changes whether it's big business goals or whatever it is you're trying to achieve or even if it's just to survive the day and and you know be okay you know it's it's it's okay if you're not feeling a hundred percent because it's it's gonna be like that but it's not personal and it's not forever it's not here to harm you um so just be mindful of that because this energy can make you feel like oh my god I'm working so hard or how do I get out of this rut you know sort of when you feel that but even for me like with my my routine my routine has dipped um so I'm still not drinking coffee I'm not drinking alcohol but I'm not doing my yoga as much I'm not meditating as much you know I'm human I'm not perfect just because I do this work yeah

I mean I'm always like and I'm really aware of it I'm just like not shaming myself for it what I can hear is I will feel better for it so I need to do it but I'm also like it just needs to be slower right now and it doesn't need to be you know all these crazy things that's what I'd say to everyone um it's because it's big energy and then we have the full moon coming up which is on the 15th that'll be taking place on Sunday the 15th of December and that full moon is in Gemini so it's like opposite Sagittarius so Sagittarius will be feeling this and now this is the last full moon of the year so it's a very prominent full moon and I would really make some time on Sunday to write down some things and reflections of 2024 like let's align with the calendar for this let's use it to our favor because there's a collective

energy and I would think about the lessons and learnings from 2024 and what things have worked what things haven't worked even writing down some real things that have made you sad you know if something really painful has happened to you in 2024 don't ignore it like let the emotion come out and leave it in 2024 you know like you think about the girls were born and you had you know even with your nan like everything you've had a lot happen and it's really important to like tidy up any energy that could be sort of there so if anyone is suffering or having some more harder stuff going on in their life don't ignore it and don't say right let's just move on to next year spend some time writing some things reflecting on things if you've lost anyone you know we always lose people you know between us

all over over you know when we feel this grief have a chat with them over this full moon connect with them talk to them have a little moment you know and do something there and if life's been really good and it's been really positive and it's been really productive look at the things that you've done differently and honor them and acknowledge them but make some time to do that it's nice isn't it yeah I think it's lovely I think it's very important I think it's very important. I think for me, this, like, it has been the most transformative year ever, like, by far, but in so many ways. So I think I would really benefit from doing something like that. And I've said it before, like, it's no surprise.

Like, I've absolutely not in one bit dealt with my grandma, like, passing. So maybe it would be nice to do something like that like you say have a little yeah I always say that to anyone that that's lost anyone whether it was this year or 10 years or talk to them they're there and you know they they want to be communicated with and if you've got some sort of grief that you need to release they can take it um and i think we reflect on those things at the end of the year you know um or you know we kind of think oh thank god that's done now but release that don't let it stay with you and and you know and on patreon i'm going to be doing some more of that stuff and i'm going to post quite a bit about this for the full moon so if this resonates come and join because it will benefit you um and if these podcasts benefit you patreon 100 will

because we go even deeper on there with this stuff um but it's um it's a magical time to surrender release and let go and get rid of all the baggage so you can start fresh for the spring equinox so even in january and february this energy is still there mars is in retrograde till the 23rd of feb you know yeah and and obviously sam for you like it makes me laugh as when you're speaking i'm like you're just so like such a saturn return story and so am i you know we've really worked hard we've still got more to go it's not it moving yet. But, you know, this is whatever's happened, use this full moon on Sunday. If anyone's in Woodham, you can come round.

I'm going to have the fire burning. I'm going to write my stuff and burn it. So if you want to burn anything, just pop round. I'm not doing a circle, but just come in the garden, put your paper in. Just pop round, chuck it on the fire. Maybe I'll make you a cup of tea. But no, in all seriousness, I'm going to have ceremony on sunday because it's very important to to do that um so

yeah that's that's that's the energies it's all going on love it yeah good well that was lovely here for it all absolutely well we will be back in a couple of weeks as per i think it's going to take us to just before christmas yes it will oh lovely oh yeah we'll be just after just after we posted just after well that'll be nice that will be nice maybe we'll try and get it out maybe we'll record it before and try and get it out before yeah Yeah, I think we could do that.
