In this special episode, I’m taking you back to a conversation I recorded a few years ago with one of the astrologers I admire most, Demetra George.My fascination with the Dark Moon didn’t come from astrology school. It grew slowly over time, through being around magical women, healers, and seekers who understood that the quietest phase of the lunar cycle carries extraordinary power.Everything truly crystallised when I read Demetra’s book Mysteries of the Dark Moon. I became determined to speak with her, and after a little persistence and quite a few emails, she finally agreed.What followed was one of the most memorable conversations I’ve ever had about lunar wisdom, goddess traditions, and the ancient roots of astrology.In this episode, we explore why the Dark Moon isn’t something to fear, what ancient astrologers really taught about feminine spirituality, and how this hidden phase of the Moon can be used for healing, insight, and renewal.This conversation also feels especially timely as I prepare for the release of my Dark Moon Oracle Cards, now available for pre order. In this episode, we cover:How Demetra George first became fascinated with goddess mythology and astrology.Why the Dark Moon represents withdrawal, regeneration, and the sacred pause before a new cycle.The inspiration behind Mysteries of the Dark Moon.The forgotten ancient name of the Third House as the House of the Goddess.How early astrological texts linked the Moon with women’s rites, dreams, and divination.Demetra’s interpretations of Medusa and Lilith and reclaiming feminine power.The symbolism of serpents, Kundalini energy, and feminine wisdom.How ancient priestesses used ritual, sexuality, and lunar timing for healing and regeneration.Why goddess traditions may not have vanished, but simply entered a hidden phase.Simple Dark Moon rituals you can try at home.Clearing your space, unplugging from stimulation, and inviting dreams and insight.How astrology can act as a form of remembrance rather than prediction.Why this episode mattersThis is a conversation about slowing down in a fast world.If you’ve ever felt drawn to lunar cycles, goddess wisdom, or the quieter spiritual spaces between endings and beginnings, this episode is for you.Finding Demetra George Find Demetra George at https://demetra-george.com/And her amazing book MYSTERIES OF THE DARK MOON here https://geni.us/darkmoonmysteriesExplore the Dark Moon with meIf listening to this episode sparks your curiosity, I’ve created a free guide to help you work with the Dark Moon in a grounded and supportive way.You can download it here: https://magic.moonology.com/get-dark-moon-guideIt’ll show you how to use this powerful lunar phase for release, healing, and renewal so you can move into each New Moon cycle feeling clearer and more aligned.

Did you know there’s such a thing as the astrology of menopause? Yasmin explores how Saturn, Uranus and Chiron cycles in our 40s and early 50s symbolise themes like reassessment, disruption and healing, and asks whether those line up with real-world menopause.To reality-check the astrology, Yasmin invites her oldest friend, journalist and TV producer-turned-author Fiona Clark, whose new book MenoWars dives into the medical, cultural, and political landscape of menopause today.In this conversationYasmin and Fiona discuss:• The idea of “astrology of menopause” and key midlife cycles• Why Saturn themes of reassessment and low mood match many women’s symptoms• The “no more fucks to give” threshold and Uranus-style liberation• How trauma affects menopause severity and why research is lacking• The politics, commercialisation, and medical gaps around menopause care• The Maiden–Mother–Crone framework and whether a “wise elder” stage exists today• Why Fiona started a menopause charity to tackle research funding and education gaps• HRT confusion, risk, and why “it depends” is the only honest answer• Laughter, honesty, feminism, and reclaiming the CroneKey takeaways Midlife astrology mirrors lived experience more than you might think.Saturn’s heaviness, Uranus’ rebellion, and Chiron’s healing themes show up in mood, identity, health and boundaries. Menopause is not just hot flushes.There are silent changes to the brain, heart, and bones that need attention beyond symptom management. The cultural moment is messy.Social media, medical arguments and commercial influences have created what Fiona calls the “Menowars.” Feminism matters here.Access, research, education and respect are still uneven. Menopause is a women’s health equity issue. There is power in the Crone.The idea of the wise elder resonates, but culture hasn’t caught up yet.About Fiona’s book“MenoWars: Why menopause’s moment has gone horribly wrong, and how you can navigate your way through it”The Times called it “fascinating.” It looks at menopause through science, politics, media, money and medicine, and includes humour plus real stories from women.Available in the USA this week, and already in the UK and Australia.Where to find Fiona• Instagram: @fiona_clark_writes• Menopause Research and Education Fund: (Instagram, Facebook, YouTube)• Book: MenoWars: Why menopause’s moment has gone horribly wrong, and how you can navigate your way through itA final piece of advice from Fiona“Stop listening to everybody else’s opinions.

In this episode, Yasmin is joined by astrologer Cassandra Tyndall for a grounded, eye-opening conversation about the astrology of 2026 and why so many fear-based predictions may be missing the point.With Saturn and Neptune preparing to enter Aries and Uranus moving into Gemini, the astrological headlines have been dramatic. Talk of chaos, conflict and even global collapse is everywhere. But is that really what the chart is saying?Together, Yasmin and Cassandra explore how these major planetary shifts are more about sovereignty, resilience and staying centred than doom and gloom. They discuss why future conflict is likely to look very different from the wars of the past, how Pluto in Aquarius is changing the nature of power itself, and why information, beliefs and nervous system regulation matter more than ever.This is a conversation about staying calm in a noisy world, holding your inner centre when everything feels fast, and learning how to work with the astrology rather than fear it.In this episode, we cover:• Saturn and Neptune entering Aries and what that really means• Uranus moving into Gemini and the rise of information wars• Why 2026 is being widely misinterpreted by fear-based astrology• Pluto in Aquarius and unorthodox expressions of power• How conflict may show up differently in the modern world• The importance of staying sovereign during rapid change• Why the Waning Moon is a powerful time for emotional release• How to give yourself grace at the start of a new year• Navigating Chiron triggers without spiralling• Why healing is often about reacting differently, not being “fixed”This episode is for you if:• You’ve felt unsettled by predictions about 2026• You want a calmer, more empowering take on the astrology• You’re tired of fear-based spiritual messaging• You want to stay centred and grounded during big global shifts• You’re ready to lead your life from sovereignty, not anxietyThanks to Cassandra Tyndall for taking the time out to join us!

Can one sentence really change the way a difficult aspect behaves in your birth chart? That is the question we explore with humanistic astrologer Kathy Rose in this week’s episode of Mainly Moonology. Together we look at the psychology of chart tension, the power of pithy affirmation, and whether behaviour change can actually re-shape the way your horoscope expresses itself in real time.Kathy walks us through how she identifies a therapeutic mantra from a natal chart using tension-points like Mercury overwhelm, Moon–Saturn heaviness, over-responsibility to others or Western Hemisphere people-pleasing patterns. We also discuss neuroplasticity, and why new thought pathways can heal old emotional imprints rather than bind us to them forever.We then bring the work into the skies of right now. You’ll hear us craft a mantra for the Full Moon in Gemini and explore how to use affirmations to redirect Uranian buzz, calm mental overstimulation and stay present instead of spiralling into “catastrophic future thinking.” Kathy shares a mantra for this Full Moon and offers a powerful universal affirmation for the year ahead.We also talk about women, confidence, the incoming astrology of 2026 and why imposter syndrome is rising now not as a setback, but as a call to claim space and voice. Kathy describes why Saturn–Neptune in Aries may be the era of spiritual self-sufficiency, decision-making confidence and healing through self-belief.This conversation blends astrology, psychology, mantra, mindset and the real mechanics of rewiring the brain. If you’ve ever wanted to use astrology to change your patterns instead of just understand them, you’ll love this.Find out more about Kathy Rose at https://www.roseastrology.com/Find out more about her Therapeutic Mantra course at https://www.astrologyuniversity.com/shop/search-by-astrologer/kathy-rose/therapeutic-mantras/ Join the Mainly Moonology inner circle: https://moonmessages.com/magical––Follow Yasmin on socials:✨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/yasminbolandmoonology ✨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moonologydotcom/––Mainly Moonology is a podcast for people looking to manifest their dream life leveraging the power of the moon.
