🌑The first New Moon of the astrological year♈
✨and an exciting announcement about my Foxfire Family membership🔥
Hello dear friend,
How are you? All at once we find ourselves in the throes of Spring, after spending months longing for longer, brighter days with a break from the monotone hues of Winter, suddenly the more-than-human world has sprung into action! For me, I’m struggling with balancing the energising pull of fiery Aries, which is present in both Solar and Lunar realms from Monday, with honouring the introspective energies of the Dark Moon phase which we’re now in.
We’re also in the midst of the first Eclipse Season of 2024 which kicked off with a Lunar Eclipse on 25 March - bringing about final endings as well as a sense of exhaustion and overwhelm in this period in between the Full and New Moon. We’re almost at the end of this first Eclipse Season of the year, with a Solar Eclipse on Monday which may bring news of a big life events and offering us a chance of fresh new beginnings and bright new opportunities. If you’re feeling the overwhelm, hang on in there, when we reach Monday (and then later 25 April when Mercury stations direct), the stars will be on our side for calmer seas ahead.
Here are some seasonal dates to ground you before April runs away with itself!
8 April: New Pink Moon in Aries at 19:21 BST
8 April: Total Solar Eclipse (read more about this here)
9 April: Ramadan ends (Muslim)
9-10 April: Eid ul-Fitr (Muslim ~ begins at the sighting of the crescent moon)
14 April: St Tiburtius’ Day (Christian ~ when you may hear the first Cuckoo!)
20 April: sun moves into Taurus
23 April: St George’s Day (England)
24 April: Full Pink Moon in Scorpio at 00:48 BST
Mercury continues to station retrograde until 25 April (read more about this here).
🔥Foxfire Family
On 24 April (on the Full Pink Moon) Foxfire Learning turns 3! The last 3 years have been an exciting adventure of learning, ritual and co-creating community with you - the readers of this publication - as well as anyone who’s attended an online circle or connected to plants or the moon through one of my online courses.
In response to your feedback, I am now reimagining my online offerings (which have previously involved a commitment of between 5 to 9 months) to give more flexibility through a monthly membership. There are two ways in which you can join me month-to-month. The Moontime Tribe monthly membership gives you access to the digital resources for the month ahead (this month is the Pink Moon), the live New Moon Circle, my online community pages (Foxfire Family) where you can connect with other community members, as well as full access to all of my Moontime Musings posts (this publication). The other option is to simply enrol for 1 month only, to gain access to the Pink Moon digital resources (for April) and New Moon Circle (recording available) for a smaller investment. Joining the online community (with all the perks above) is £59 a month, and simply accessing the Pink Moon month of my Moontime, myths and Medicines course is £55. After 1 month you will be welcome to continue your membership either month to month or enrol for a year with a discount.
