Today's a big one. 8/8. Lion's Gate!🦁

Lion's Gate is the moment the Sun in Leo lines up with Sirius, the brightest star in our sky. The ancient Egyptians called her Sopdet. They watched for her return each year, right when the Nile began to flood, and built their whole calendar around it.
This year it's extra loaded. Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion, moved into Leo in June and stays there all year. The Moon's nodes just shifted too, onto the Leo/Aquarius axis, for the first time in almost twenty years. That kicks off a brand new 18 month story for all of us.
Then four days from now, on the 12th, it all gets sealed with a total solar eclipse in Leo. The very first eclipse on this new axis. Nothing's come before it. Normally you'd feel a slow build up. This time we're straight into the deep end!

And 8/8 is one of the biggest manifestation days of the year too. Eight is the number of abundance. Turn it sideways and it's infinity.
Funnily enough, that's the bees' symbol too. Their waggle dance, the one they do to tell the hive where the food is, traces a figure of eight. Infinity, written by bees, every single day. You'll even find it on my logo ♾️

🦁 How I'm working with the energies today.

I woke up really fatigued, so I haven't fought that. I've just moved slower, with more intention, and let the day meet me where I am.
This afternoon I attended a beautiful CPD on feline self-selection with the wonderful Rachael Maxwell of Kirta Academy. It was all about how cats instinctively choose what they need to heal themselves. Feels very fitting for Lion's Gate 🐾
I'm also feeling a deep connection to the white lions of Timbavati today.

So however it's landing for you, enjoy basking in the energy like a feline would ✨️

How do we know we have ten minutes before we get wet on the farm? You look towards Maesteg 😆 This time I wasn't so lucky to get in before I got wet. However. We have beautifully soft, gentle rain, pitter patting on the farm. It is so needed and I'm so grateful to see it come! If it can keep raining like this for a week that would be fab🙏🌿💖 but I'll take whatever we can get right now ✨️

How's everyone feeling?
Tired for no reason? Sleep all over the place? Old stuff bubbling up out of nowhere? Like something has to change?

You're not imagining it. We've just moved through a rare planetary alignment called the Barbault basket, supercharged by tonight's Aquarius Full Moon sitting right next to Pluto. This isn't standard full moon energy. This is a proper cosmic shake up, and it's landed straight in our nervous systems.🙄

Most of us have felt something shifting lately, I know I have! And I've seen it alot in my work over the past few weeks. Clients coming in completely burnt out. Not knowing what to do or where do go.
People are carrying a version of themselves that isn't even really theirs. The version that keeps everyone else happy.
Your real self isn't the polished one who's got it all sorted, It's the one underneath. The one who trusts their gut, even when the external world says trust the noise instead. And that's where burnout can come in, It's exhausting not being your true self.

For over twenty years I've been doing this work. Reflexology, healing, herbs. I built it on what I knew was true, I felt into it. Doubts and all. And I've had to be myself and trust who I am, I can't not be when my work is to help others.

But what I've learnt along the way is getting back to yourself isn't just the big soul searching stuff. It's rest. Sitting with what you're feeling, instead of pushing it down. And knowing that you're allowed to take up space. You don't have to make yourself small for anyone else.
The knowing that you carry deep in your bones, about who you really are, that's not something to tuck away.
So keep choosing you💛

So tonight on this full moon, I'm not asking you to be fearless. Just honest.
What bit of yourself have you been quietening down to keep the peace?
What do you know is true about you, that you've stopped saying out loud?
You don't need it all figured out. I certainly don't!
Just stop hiding the real bits. And don't forget to rest while you find your way back ✨️

This week was the Royal Welsh Show.
The biggest and most prestigious show in Wales and we entered our honey and wax into the Welsh National Honey Show.

I wasn't holding out much hope this year as we've not had a great run up to it due to illness. However. We won the biggest class at the show! The light honey class. We also came second and third in other hotly contested classes.

We were up against commercial contestants who have many aparies so to have held our own and beaten them is incredible!

Here at Tynton we are a small hill farm with only 3 hives. We like to keep the number of hives small, to allow all of the other pollinators that live on the farm to have their fair share.
Competing at the Royal Welsh is a huge deal for anyone that is Welsh and I'm so proud to be born and bred in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿. It's also a privilege and an honour to live in such a historic Welsh house and so I'm proud of my bees! 🐝
Dragon blood runs deep in my veins! Cymru am byth 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

New Moon in Cancer, and it's my birthday week 🦀

I just want to take a second to talk about the timing of
tonight's New Moon in Cancer. My birthday sign. The Moon literally coming home, right before I turn a year older ✨️

Cancer season is all about home, feelings, and safety.

This New Moon isn't asking you to hustle, push through or launch big new plans. It's asking you to slow down.

This is Cerridwen energy if ever there was. Our Welsh goddess of the cauldron and the moon's cycles. In the old stories, she brewed a potion for a whole year and a day, stirring it slowly, patiently, trusting the process even when nothing seemed to be happening. She didn't rush it. She couldn't. Some things only become what they need to become in their own time.
That's exactly what this New Moon is asking of us. Not to force. Not to push. Just to stir gently, and trust.

So here's how I'm honouring Cerridwen's cauldron tonight:

✨️ Name what's in the pot. Cerridwen knew exactly what she was brewing and why. What are you quietly working on right now, that no one else can see yet?

✨️ Stir, don't force. Sit with a candle and a bowl of water. Not to make anything happen. Just to be near it, the way she stayed near her cauldron for a year without rushing the outcome.

✨️What's asking to change? Cerridwen's brew wasn't for her, it was for her son, to change what couldn't stay the same. Where in your life is something needing to transform, even if you don't yet know what it'll become?

✨️ Let the old intentions simmer. With Mercury retrograde alongside this new Moon, it's not the night for new plans. Go back to something you set your heart on weeks or months ago. Has it changed shape? Let it.

✨️ Rest. Her cauldron needed a steady, low flame for a year, not a blaze. Where in your own life are you burning too hot, trying to force something that just needs time?
Your feelings aren't a problem to fix this week. They're information. Let the cauldron do its slow work.

And with my birthday landing right in this cosy, watery energy, it feels like the year ahead is asking me to come home to myself too. 🕊️

I did a thing last week, and it wasn't a great thing! 🙄

I had an accident that resulted in a fractured big toe. To say it hurts doesn't really do it justice!
I wasn't sure if it was broken, and I saw a friend who is a nurse who suggested a trip to minor injuries. Turned out I had a traumatic hallux fracture.
I should be wearing a special shoe to take the pressure off my big toe, but due to being hypermobile, it instantly caused instability in my hips, which resulted in my hip subluxing.

Only you know what is best for your body, and I know that pharmaceuticals 9 times out of 10 cause me more issues than they resolve. So what have I been doing?

I reached for what I know best. Homeopathy, herbs, my healing arts.

Arnica homeopathy to help with the trauma and bruising; comfrey homeopathy once I knew that the bone was in the right place, as Symphytum officinale, also known as knit bone, should not be used on bone injuries until you know that the bone is where it should be. Nettle and horsetail tea to help with bone repair. Turmeric, black pepper, and coconut oil internally for anti-inflammatory properties. Self-heal and calendula balm externally to help with the trauma of the incident. Reiki to aid healing, lymphatic drainage techniques to help with recovery. And rest! So if you come for a treatment and I am hobbling, you know why!
Here's a photo of one of my plant allies, the beautiful Calendula, instead of my bruised and fractured foot!

💛 Signs 🪶

Recurring numbers, feathers, shapes, animals

What do you see? 👀

For me it's all of the above.

I see 1717 2222 1111 2121 alot amongst other numbers but they are my main ones

I see feathers, and I don't count the ones that the Chickens leave around the farm 😆

But the ones that gently float in front of you when you're walking. The feather that appears on the floor when I'm having a wobble in my day.

I vividly remember the feather which I still have, that floated down in front of me and landed in my open hand the first time we went back to portugal after mum passed.

The shapes.

The shape I see so much when I'm in nature which is unusual is a heart. Only this week I saw a heart shaped droplet of water gently nestling on a ladies mantle leaf whilst foraging. It stopped me in my tracks and I gave thanks for that sign from mother earth.

The Robin that appears when I think of mum. Or the bird of prey or raven that appears above me when I need to look at something with a birds eye view.

When you are in flow, everything seems to just open up for you. The call from a person to help you with a problem. The traffic lights turning green. The parking space just where you need it. Synchronicites all around.

There is magic all around you. And never forget that you are magic ✨️

So whatever you choose to call the higher power, God, spirit, universal oneness, the universe. Know that you are never alone.

Start to notice the signs and synchronicites all around you ✨️
