What Is Going On, Anyway?

It's a HALF Moon! December 29, 2025. We say goodbye to 2025 and open the space, sweep the floor, start to prepare for 2026. We get a wonderful Hexagram that should have us breathing a sigh of relief and I'll share a few wildly recorded moments that got me from there to here. Happy Wishing, Happy New Year. www.annhedly.comI Ching with Clarity Podcast with Hilary Barrett

This is the Full Cold Moon in Gemini on December 4, 2025. Every bit of my imaginative intuition says this is a time to rest, to stop, to get busy being yourself FOR yourself and no one else. It is the perfect time to reevaluate our people-pleasing tendencies. It is time to rest, re-think and reconsider how we value ourselves. For so many of us (in the northern hemisphere) this is also winter solstice. Staying home, going to bed early and staying cozy warm come naturally. I say lean into this and try even more to slow down. Use your brakes. Take a break. Give yourself the present of time. It is invaluable. Priceless. The greatest gift of all. www.annhedly.com

This new moon of November 20, 2025 has me feeling sparkles of hope. I'll share my ideas for what to do with this little push of energy and how to get through these next couple of months using our power of wishing. I hope you will stick with me and do the 13 wishes for the new year. www. annhedly.comYou can find info about Jen Lemen here: www.thepathofdevotion.com

Beginning with the November 5th Super Moon in Gemini, it's taken me to to 11th to complete the task. Is that the message of this moon? The timing of things isn't all up to you? I think it is, even if I don't announce that explicitly. We get Hexagram 17.4-3. Sprouting and new beginnings await. Even for a slug. www.annhedly.com

October 21, 2025. It's a glorious new moon. Open the notebook and enjoy a fresh page. This opportunity to tell the story you'd most like to hear doesn't arise just every day. Take a moment and discover the story inside you that is waiting to be heard. Robert FulghumPema ChodronAnn Hedly

The Full Moon of October 6th came like a sneaky wave. I got covid and had to lay low for a week. This time we may be feeling out of sorts, wondering about how to proceed. I don't offer much in the way of advice. You'll hear me flail and be generally discouraged by my own lack of enthusiasm. It took a week to pull together, but let's see what the I Ching has for us this time, Hexagram 45 Unchanging. Gathering. I'd advise considering what and who you would gather if you were having a seasonal celebration. What and who do you want to gather to prepare for the next season? I mention Ron Chin who I studied Feng Shui with in NYC. www.annhedly.com

September 22, 2025 and it's a new moon in Libra. A new season, some say a new year. The time to gather our resources for a darker time ahead. We've been collaborating and finding unusual connections which can be so very inspiring, yet the time is not open for us to forge ahead. We have to attend to boring mundane tasks and details. Get the wood in, bring in the houseplants, do the laundry. This is all okay. Keep notes of all your inspirations, let this beginning be a new way of allowing the everyday to have prominence. www.annhedly.com

September 7, 2025. Welcome to our Full Moon in Pisces with a total lunar eclipse to make it fancy. For some reason, I've got it all wrong as I'm introducing and I say full Libra Moon in Pisces. Say what? I just messed it up, oh well! I'm titling this "Say Goodbye" because I talk about how goodbyes challenge our sense of love. I think Goodbyes can be expansive and also really so sad. This full moon gives us an extra cleaning and opportunity to let things go. This old saying let by gones be by gones may have some potency for this time period. As we let go, it's really nice to also imagine what is coming next. By taking one clear step towards something that holds sway in our imagination, even when we don't know what will come of it, we are slowly moving towards a future that holds more space for our wholeness.

August 23, 2005 is our New Moon in Virgo. This new moon is your most potent time to rewrite the exalted story of your life as if it is a fairytale. Do include every single detail that brings inspiration. As always, it is most important to understand that the current story you are telling yourself may be actually quite lame. You can tell a story that brings you more joy and more hope and, for goodness sake, more fun. Land Peace FoundationSherri Mitchell Weh’na Ha’mu KwassetSharon Blackiewww.annhedly.com

August 9, 2025, and it's a Full Moon. With Patience for the Journey we know that this next 2 weeks will be a lot of reaching then grounding and reaching some more. It's a lot like summer travel actually; how we are wanting this journey, but also really needing to rest a lot as we go. I mention this comedian in the podcast: www.peterantoniou.comand my website:www.annhedly.comIf you haven't, please like and follow this podcast! thank you!

July 24, 2025 and it's a NEW MOON! This is a good one, an epic rebirth, though we won't really understand that and it's going to take a while. The ultimate question to ask and the only thing you need to consider right now is this: Who are you when no one is looking? Take care of that person.

July 10, 2025 brings us another Full Buck Moon. Midyear thoughts remind me to look at my winter solstice wishing. The images around this moon have to do with getting a chance to mometarily surface about the mundane and see clearly. With this instant of clarity we can take the next right steps to fulfill our own regular wishing. Head wishing, heart wishing and body wishing. www.annhedly.com

June 25th, 2025 is the new Buck moon. This is a moon in cancer conjunct Jupiter. We are being told it is a benevolent time to send our wishes into action. Please don’t worry if you don’t have all your good wishes lined up for this auspicious moment. It’s okay because even if you don't, somewhere deep inside you, your wishes are doing their good work of holding that space for you. You can relax and continue breathing and occupying your own space. www.annhedly.com

June 11, 2025. The Full Strawberry Moon. My question for you is this: How can you expand your capacity to hold this moment? Is there more space inside you? Can you think differently, and detox negative thought patterns in order to be more effective at building your capacity for holding compassion? This full moon is pushing our limits and asking for a lot of integrity and intention. It moves us from The Traveler to Enthusiasm. Fortunately, Enthusiasm is a source engine for Joy. This is my wish for you: enthusiastic embodied integrated joy. 56.3.6->16www.annhedly.comwww.patreon.com/watermoonstudios

May 12, 2025 Full Moon. This is our full Flower Moon. I'm feeling squeezed and like I want to keep being hard on myself. Let Things Be is the wisdom that arrives via the I Ching and Hexagram 2. So, maybe, you and me both can take a pause for these next 2 weeks and just let life be what it is. I'm finding a need for flexibility and patience while I observe more and judge less. I hope you find a lot of ease, joy, and if you are so lucky, a box of kittens!www.annhedly.com

April 27, 2025, and it's the New Flower Moon. Always, new moons are a time of starting again. This one has a special flavor of exhaustion to it. It's not a bright new beginning, but rather a sort of beginning because we can't stop now. We have to keep going. It means uncovering inner resources that we didn't know we had available. This is good news, but it will not be easy. One bit of advice is to practice being yourself each day without fail, one little bit of time to be your fully human self, to see what could come of this dedication. Good luck, babies, this isn't easy. www.annhedly.comwww.patreon.com/watermoonstudios

April 12, 2025. It's a Full Pink Moon in Libra. This is a tender moon, full enough to feel you are being stretched. You'll see possibilities that you aren't even sure are yet real. The only way to get there is to create a little bit of your own fairy dust by believing in magic that you haven't felt since you were a very little new human. Actively practicing love, believing in unknown and benevolent possibilities and letting your enthusiasm for life run free is the equation for getting through these times. It may seem hard and obstacle ridden, but you will find getting what you need isn't the same as getting what you want. Adventures indeed.www.annhedly.com

March 29, 2025 brings a new moon and a solar eclipse. It's shaky ground and geez it's hard to build here, nothing feels like a good place to start. However, it's just a little start that begins with a big question. Will you stand up for yourself? Will you make small connections that give you what you need to be expressive? It may be hard to hold hopefullness while things seem to be falling apart. This is a real test to see if you can speak for yourself even at your worst. It's slow and steady and focused change we are looking for now. www.annhedly.com

March 13, 2025. The full worm moon. There is an eclipse with this moon and it's being called a blood moon because it will appear red when eclipsed. This seems to be a time of great change and there is an ask to be ready. This particular kind of getting ready has to do with decluttering negative habitual thinking. It's so easy to just believe that's the way it is, but with the kind of spring that is just beginning, the advice is to get ready for some big changes. Letting some old ways of thinking go will be necessary for opening into this new season. www.annhedly.comSam Lee sings with the nightingalesPatreon

February 27, 2025 New Worm Moon. This moon shows us a tower falling and we are ready to jump, but before we even build the courage to jump, it falls beneath us. We are devastated because we really wanted to jump and isn't the glory taken away by the falling? Anyway, we are stuck with a big mess and that's what this moon is all about. Being stuck in a mess and only being able to tend to one thing, one little thing that you hold close.
