Take a break from a tough day or week and come celebrate the new moon in Taurus. It is a very good time to let go of everything and start living afresh. Got to Podcasts and find the New Moon in Taurus Meditation!
Our skies are currently governed by a Pink Super Moon in Scorpio. It might be a time of discomfort, if only to bring transformation and learning. This meditation including a walk on a hot bed of coals promises to take you through to inner peace.
The Circle of Love Meditation is an energetic space to come to again and again for love, healing and peace. The meditation, in a sense, has no end as it is an eternal fountain from which you can draw Divine essence. It is unique in that you not only receive this energy but offer it to others, as it is in giving that we truly receive. The meditation offers three levels of energy – a nourishing love and healing; deeper healing and release and finally, eternal peace. With practice, this can become part of your daily existence. Enjoy. (Find the actual podcast under “Podcasts” which is a sub window of the “Talking Feathers” page).
This weekend we are celebrating the beautiful full moon in Libra as we offer up our deepest dreams, intentions and goals to its Divine Feminine energy. For those who have followed the other meditations this month, this is the culmination of building a dream and offering it up to the vibrant full moon light and gateway for the next 6 to 12 months. If you have not heard the other meditations it does not matter. Just begin your experience here. This is a playful and adventurous meditation which takes in the vibrant energy of a Libra full moon, especially one that is rising amidst the fiery sun sign of Aries. Enjoy its liveliness and very positive theme!! Please click on “Podcast” under “Talking Feathers” to find this meditation.
I could not let this week go by without acknowledging everyone impacted by the floods in my home state of New South Wales in Australia. Furthermore, I wanted to acknowledge the mass shootings again in America this week. If you can imagine the heartache of families losing loved ones in the mass shootings and again in Myanmar during the street protests. Black people are hurting deeply, Asian people are hurting deeply and, in my country, Aboriginal people are hurting deeply and are now very vocal. Also in my country, women of all races are now speaking out against sexual abuse, verbal abuse, bullying, harassment and the misogyny that feeds all of this. Everyone’s hurting. And yet, through all of this suffering is an opportunity to transcend into stillness and find your soul essence. Please listen to this podcast and at the end sit with me for a few minutes in peace so that you may begin a journey into your own inner world.

This weekend we say goodbye to our dreamy time in Pisces and move forward into the fiery, alive, spontaneous and passionate energy of Sun in Aries. Aries is a time of newness. It is considered “the baby” and first sun sign of the zodiac and heralds the new astrological cycle for the next 12 months. A perfect time to set some intentions, goals or dreams for the year ahead. Where would you like to be this time next year?
This weekend is also the time of the Equinox, where the span of time for night and day are roughly the same in length all around the planet. In the northern hemisphere, it is the spring equinox – a time for planting new seeds and enjoying the fresh new fragrances of flowers, the winds, water and sun and the new life of all flora and fauna. In the southern hemisphere, it is the autumn equinox – a time to gather up the harvested crops and the fruits of your labour before a hunkering down for the winter. This heralds an additional opportunity to set intentions, goals and dreams for the next six months and where you would like to be in your life by the autumn/fall or spring later this year.
In the last podcast, The Journey into Dreams Meditation, there was an opportunity to choose a dream and then send it to the New Moon in Pisces for gestation and manifesting. In this new podcast you have the opportunity to add strength and power to your original Piscean dream, if you so choose. Or you may choose to create a new dream at this doubly powerful Equinox/Aries gateway.
If you did not experience the Journey of Dreams Meditation, it does not matter. You can listen to it if you wish or you can start afresh here and now. Just bring into this meditation your dream, intention or goal for your designated period. The new podcast is about to follow.
The challenges that we have faced as humans, individually and collectively, in recent times, for at least a year or more, have been and will continue to be great opportunities for growth. When you have been shaken to the core, like a tree in a storm, did you find that your individual roots were firm or flimsy?
It has been an extraordinary time to go to the core and find yourself amidst the chaos of the outer world. In the final analysis, what did you learn about yourself and how you survived? There is a deep root of connection within you linked to the cosmos trying to help you find your true self. It certainly seems that there are many more challenges coming to us than ever before. And this forces us to go deep. We have planted seeds during the shutdown which may or may not be conscious. In truth, we have been growing towards this our whole lives.
But here’s the thing that you may not have been aware of before and that is that we all have access to a newfound level of inner strength. Can you get to it? Are you aware of it? After so much, after so so much, should someone question you or your views about your reality, your sense of being and who you are, there may be a part of you that comes forward in a way that it has not before. Try it, test it. You might write, speak it and/or confront those that present you with an issue with a new found courage that you did not know about. It is a strength to draw from like the trees taking nourishment from the earth through its roots.
There are still those only interested in image, wealth and a kind of power that can only be derived from trying to strip down another of their beliefs and their self-worth to the point where they are totally immersed in lies and deception. Except, it is not true power. This is the old way – selfish, cruel and ruthless. Yes, it is still rife in many structures on Earth. And the old does not like to shift and it has brought up great fear and resistance. It fears death and it is a death that cannot be avoided. You cannot be like that and live in the new world wanting to move forward for the good of humanity and the planet. And there is not much chance that such an old way of being is going to change.
The only thing that is different is the rising strength of the individual – not to join some political cause (although this is happening). The cosmos has reached us from within and planted the new seeds for the new era. Those truly treated unfairly are coming forward – be it racial and/or personal abuse/women/communities etc. In the embryonic stages they must protest and march to be heard but later on, they will present as a peaceful strong front of humanity. Their work in the end will be accomplished. Those that form a movement for their own selfish, collective sakes shall not survive as there is no individual strength or connection with the cosmos there. The cosmos is designed to break down the energy of those of falsehood and the old order and this cannot be avoided. The light of the cosmos is too bright.
Only you know the truth of these words. The greatest place to find this strength is to go out of thought and into sacred presence. In presence you let go of everything and for a time go into automatic pilot as the Universe drives you forward. And even when you return to challenges and if you have practised presence enough, you will find a calm and a strength even in the midst of the chaos, like a band of energy all around you and that band can only get stronger if you let it. You will be in the eye of the storm, calm and safe.
In the lead up to this week’s Full Moon in earthy Virgo and Finger of Fate astrological formation (around 27th February), there is an enormous opportunity to look for and find that new strength. In the new strength, your boat will not be overturned in the highest waves but only rocked before you make it to your next destination or challenge or adventure. No challenge, no obstruction will be strong enough now to break you from your own underlying strength because you have had too many experiences. You have come too far.
This is a beautiful time of the Earth Moon and also the Watery Flow of the Sun in Pisces. It is a time where they find harmony. Things and places frozen over will soon thaw into the warmth of the Sun and the Moon. The cosmos holds the Finger of Fate signaling that the times have changed and you have this new gift of strength. How to access it is right in front of you and deceptively simple. You will find it in the practice of stillness and use it as the Planet slowly recovers and grows. This is a gift from the cosmos.

Dear Ones, How we relish remembering physical connection with Mother Earth, with Gaia. The smell of the soil when it has been rained upon is a glorious experience as is the smell of grass and flowers, trees and all plant life. Blessed are the animals and the children that roam our Planet in sacred innocence. May they be protected and preserved, supported and renewed in their growth and development.
This is a perfect time to be sinking into Earth, feeling its roots, smelling its air and feeling its flowing water and most of all, basking in the Sun. Lay flat in a field if you can, looking up at the clouds; sit by a stream or swim in water or even move around in mud! Feel the Sun on your back and on your face even in the midst of a winter and crunchy snow beneath your feet. You know of its glorious presence at dawn and at sunset. What more do you need to exist?
We pray for those who are fearful right now and for the chaos that is increasing. They are so fearful they must cry out because instinctively they know from the animal part of their human essence that things are changing beyond their control. So, they fight and they continue to fight for no reason because they know this is all dying away within them – life as we have known it. A new way of being is upon Earth.
The instinctive, animal part of human essence can also link with the spirit essence where it will find deep nourishment. They find this in the Earth and the Sun during the day Grandmother Earth, Pachamama and through the Moon and the Stars at night, Grandfather Sky.
Imagine putting a circle of loving souls together – living and not living, ancestors, Angels, Guides and Allies – and bind the circle with a golden light encompassing the fearful ones in the middle of the Planet within a sacred fire and smoking. That’s right, gather them in a sacred fire in your mind, not to harm them but to cleanse. Then if you can open your heart centers to these people and perhaps in some small way, they will come to understand that their hearts can be open too and love can reach them past their deep pain. Some of it is expressed simply as ignorance which makes their pain worse and is like a netted bundle they put around themselves and then cannot get out.
We pray to hold this space in presence and stillness and peace and to hold Mother Earth – this is our Medicine Wheel. We hear the deep pain of Earth and it is in the holding of this space now that a powerful transformation will take place. The pain of ignorant people is sacred too and out of compassion we must hold the space. Their pain is birthing the new and they are signaling to the rest of us that the birth labor is here. However, they will not be able to escape it and those in the light and calm must look on and go through this witnessing in presence as midwives. To do this without judgement is hard but it adds more quality to the birthing and is for your own good and protection.
In the presence of this sacred space at this time, you will experience unusual grounded-ness and strength and calm. Instinctively, you will know what to do and you will have instincts and clarity about the way the Earth is going and growing. From this large pool of light, you can drink from it for your own energy, healing and for your own life and that of your community. This is our Medicine Wheel.
Beyond the Medicine Wheel and the birth canal there is the overlay of the Rainbow Wheel of light that is the new life grid. Some call it the dawning of the Sixth Sun on the planet, long since predicted by the Toltecs of ancient times. After five evolutionary cycles on the Planet, the sixth cycle is the most sacred and the most spiritual where we all come together.
Now is the time to begin to come together. We hope you gather in our Medicine Wheel whose seeds are sown now in this week in the New Moon of Capricorn January 13th and will culminate and be released at the time of the Full Moon in Leo on 28th January 2021. Light a candle if you can each evening during this period and cleanse with sage or native leaves and keep a vigil with us in this first phase of birthing into the new. And so it shall be.
Blue Feathers and the Council.
Dear Ones, The answer is clear. The way the Earth has been going in a third dimensional reality, the forces of Nature have surely been shifting us in a direction that will take us off this Planet by the end of the century. Gaia would need to rest from the ravaging of forests, animals, lands and peoples, and polluted cities and waterways for selfish gains and wants. Somehow the pandemic is a product of all of this and left without checking beyond the fundamental level of existence, our race would gradually die off. We have been here as civilizations before which all ended and resulted in total wipeout. This is a new chapter or is it the final chapter?
However, in the new reality of the 5th dimensional new on Earth, there are forces beyond the fundamental coming to the fore. These are the cosmic forces accessed through your heart and instinct, not your mind. This is why there is a global awakening that is beginning to breakthrough the reality we have known.
Many of you have been missing that the only way to find this awakening and this breakthrough is by sitting in silence, in presence. It’s too simple and you have missed it. Now, this is a choice but what are you going to choose? The Pandemic is Persisting until we GET IT to retreat within and find our essence, our intuition and our peace. We are being given ample time to practice presence and stillness in lockdown or homestay. Some are panicking, many are frustrated but how many of you are using this as an eternal time, it seems, for retreat? It is also a time of caring more for each other and caring by wearing a mask etc. and showing respect for others. It is impossible not to think of others now in the new order.
I am telling you that when enough of us GET IT and move into peace and presence as a daily practice then the pandemic will subside. The cosmic forces are coming forward more strongly every day and it is time, past time, to get on board. So please go to nature if you can, sit in silence and learn the new and true nature of reality. This is how we turn a bad dream into an eternal existence of beauty and joy.
The collective beauty of the awakening is like a huge ever-growing, disc of rainbow light that comes over you if you let it. Close your eyes and call in this Sun of the awakening collective. It is made up of all of us and it is beautiful and enriching. It is all encompassing and very comforting to feel.
MAKE THE COMMITMENT to meditate or just sit in alert silence every day and wait and watch and see the changes in your life for the better and that of the collective. Yes, it really is that important and so, so simple. Amen.

Owl Spirit comes swooping down to speak to us at this time of the Full Moon in Cancer. Here is what Owl says:
“In the fullness of the Moon there is no hiding. It sheds its light on everything that is in the dark. I live in the dark and can see clearly here at all times. I live in a space of complete sacred clarity and with such a Moon, we have a chance to join forces in terms of turning your thoughts to the purest of truths.
The backdrop to the Moon is of course the night sky and all its glittering stars. The night sky holds the Great Mystery and it is by flying through the Full Moon and into the night sky that you surrender to the void of the Universe.
Surrender to not knowing what is to come. Plants and animals do not seek predictions or try to calculate them. They stay in presence fully cognizant of their sacredness. There are many forces at play right now aiding in birthing the planet to the new. Many will tell you how it is going to be – for money, for adulation of the ego etc and in very persuasive ways. Yes, the Owl sees through you.
There is a difference in observing signposts from a place of presence, simply saying to you to surrender, dear Ones. You will never be able to work out the Great Mystery so just go with the coming newness on Earth step by step. However, as a blank canvas is before you as a child of the Universe, it is a fine time to play with what you would like to paint in your new reality. The swirling nature of the creative forces and the Great Mystery will shine their lights on what you wish to create, particularly at the Full Moon but also in the days to come. Living is a creative process and meant to be a blessed journey. Paint your picture then release it to the forces of the Universe, as it knows what you need, what you desire, what you need to learn and through your requests will bring further growth and many blessed experiences.
Stay in your own lane still and let your relationship with presence, nature and the Divine grow. Fall on your knees and offer all your wishes in an ultimate act of surrender. Surrender, be still, surrender, be still. And then what magic you will see! I am blessed to be able to move around during the night, through all the phases of the moon, and have been gifted with perfect vision even during the Dark of the Moon – my favorite time just before the New Moon gives birth.
If you begin to surrender into the void, truths will be revealed to you. Sometimes these are painful when people you trusted turn out to be false. But it is better to know and your honesty towards them will knock them off their perches as you swoop upon them with the truth. Then you will move on and find your own parliament of owls, your own tribe.
As it has been said the Divine Goddess is weaving a new reality for Mother Earth and currently listening to all your requests and to those of Gaia. As the Owl, I come from the rays of Athena, Goddess of Wisdom, a fragment of the Divine Goddess. During the night, I always stay until the dawn and love to watch the newness of every sunrise before retiring. I pledge to watch over you, Dear Ones, love and protect you and will bring you more truths from time to time. Ask for my help and I will always uncover truths for you where there may be doubts. I will teach you to trust the truths your intuition is telling you.
In the light, Owl”.
