karenteresa
Hello everyone, Karen here from Salfan Wild and I'm happy to say that I've got the wonderful Emily McQueen here with me today and we are going to be talking about moon stuff and other fun fun things.
00:00:31
karenteresa
Now Emily is soul guide, an intuitive astrologer and she supports empaths, intuitives and spiritual seekers which is why of course I'm talking to her.
00:00:43
karenteresa
So
Astrology and Moon Phases
00:00:43
karenteresa
welcome Emily.
00:00:43
Emily McQueen
Thank you. Thank you for having me.
00:00:46
karenteresa
I'm very excited that we're getting to have this chat. I actually listened to one of your podcasts last night and I thought, why haven't I been listening before? Very cool.
00:00:58
karenteresa
So, i mean, how are we going to start this conversation? that's That's my biggest question. mean, Should I just hand it over to you or should I ask you a wonderful question about maybe the cycles of the moon? How do you see the moon and how it impacts on us?
00:01:16
Emily McQueen
That's such a loaded question. i
00:01:21
karenteresa
I'm very reliable like that.
00:01:24
Emily McQueen
Oh, so there's so many ways. Like, so most people would know that we have like a full moon and a new moon. And sometimes that's all that people know. And they might just watch the moon in the sky and see how it kind of expands and comes back again. So a lot of people would look at that and see that, but it goes into so much more than that. So we have our full moon, our new moon, and it's based very much on the astrology as well. So we look at then what sign the moon is in. So that's when like people say things like, we just had a full moon in Libra.
00:02:02
Emily McQueen
They're like, okay, well, what does that kind of mean? So we kind of look at the moon and the phases it goes through. So the moon will go into, like the full moon, the cycle of the moon goes for about 29 days and it goes through from the new moon we usually start from. So we've got a new moon coming up on the 28th of April, new moon in Taurus.
00:02:24
Emily McQueen
And so the moon will shift every couple of days.
00:02:25
karenteresa
Yep.
00:02:26
Emily McQueen
So that's how then we look at the full moon and we know what sign it's in. And then we know what the new moon is and things like that. So I kind of, work as an astrologer, but then also follow like the moon very closely. And you can do it like to ground all aspects of your life and then having a look at your own moon sign and how that affects you. And yeah, there's so many ways you can use it in your daily life as well.
00:02:54
karenteresa
wonderful this sounds juicy I'm excited about that actually so yeah I know like as you I think know did a course in permaculture a couple of years ago which I loved and part of that and with biodynamics and all of those things you know you plant your plants according to the moon and and all that sort of stuff Now, you you mentioned the new moon and the full moon. Now, I think that some people might get confused about the new moon and the dark moon.
00:03:29
karenteresa
Can you explain that for people?
00:03:30
Emily McQueen
So the new moon is when it's a complete cret or crescent or you can't even see the moon in the sky because that's when the the sun and the moon come into conjunction with each other.
00:03:43
Emily McQueen
So it actually then blocks the moon from being seen. So that's when we're looking at a new moon. So as I said before, we're heading into a new moon on the 28th of April.
00:03:55
Emily McQueen
And that's when we kind of look at starting our manifestation. This is when we can plant new seeds. And this is like metaphorically as well as, yeah, emotionally, all sorts of ways.
00:04:08
karenteresa
Thank you.
00:04:08
Emily McQueen
So that's when we have a look at that manifestation. And then two weeks after that, that's when we kind of start to, the moon will start to go to a little bit of a bigger moon, bigger moon, and it will slowly expand over that two weeks.
00:04:22
Emily McQueen
Um, Then Then into a full moon. So that's where we can really use that manifestation process during the new moon to the full moon as it expands. And we call it waxing during that time.
00:04:35
Emily McQueen
And then it comes to the full moon. And that's when we can really go through what our manifestations work. And what do we need to let go of? What's the uncomfortable emotions maybe coming up around our manifestations?
00:04:48
Emily McQueen
Like, are there any beliefs we have to let go of? So that's that process that we can do, like a full moon ritual and start to let go of things. or some people like to do burning rituals and things like that.
00:04:57
karenteresa
Yeah, beautiful.
00:05:01
Emily McQueen
So the full moon's when we kind of let go and we kind of have that exhale, that breath out. And the new moon's when we really inhale and bring things in.
00:05:12
karenteresa
yeah beautiful Yeah, I used to get confused about waxing and waning. You know, it took me ages to get that organised in my head. i'm not I'm sort of good at the fluffy stuff.
00:05:25
karenteresa
Sometimes the process thing's not so great. So wax on and waning.
00:05:28
Emily McQueen
Yeah.
00:05:31
karenteresa
Yeah,
00:05:32
Emily McQueen
I used to get confused as well. It took me a little while to get my head around it, but I get it now
00:05:39
karenteresa
yeah.
Spirituality and Astrological Shifts
00:05:40
karenteresa
I did a bit of an astrology course. last year which helped me a bit but the moon stuff I did get that get that sorted it is such a beautiful path I guess really I mean I'm being a little bit superfluous here really I one of the things I like about you know when I see your social media posts and things is there's a real connection to the sacred of the moon.
00:06:07
karenteresa
And, you know, that speaks to my soul.
00:06:09
Emily McQueen
Yes.
00:06:10
karenteresa
And I think that seems to be what's happening. I'm curious about this, actually, if you, your take on this. The sense that I have is that women in particular are remembering and really tapping back into their,
00:06:29
karenteresa
their psychic abilities, their capacity to heal. It's like there's some kind of real opening up and reconnecting in that way.
00:06:40
karenteresa
What's what's your take on that?
00:06:42
Emily McQueen
I think so too. i think I've seen a lot of it and I feel a lot of it and even I'm finding the people that are attracted to working with me are wanting to deepen these things as well.
00:06:54
Emily McQueen
I think there's a lot of different, in astrology wise, there's a lot of different things kind of governing that as well but I think women as well, we're governed by the moon. We have the same cycles within us that the moon has. So it's a no brainer that we're connected to the moon, but I think we've very much lost that.
00:07:15
Emily McQueen
So we recently had Pluto shifting to Aquarius and before that it had been in Capricorn and being in Capricorn, we saw very much, and it's always kind of been here for quite some time, the rise of the patriarchy, right?
00:07:17
karenteresa
Yes.
00:07:30
Emily McQueen
And It's that big business and big pharma, big government.
00:07:32
karenteresa
yeah
00:07:37
Emily McQueen
And with the Pluto into Aquarius, we're really seeing that start to crumble. And I think even some of the transits that we've had this year, like the North Node shifting into Pisces, it's awakening that feminine again. It's getting us to remember our spiritual roots and coming back to a lot of our own spirituality and then we've had Neptune shift into Aries during eclipse season which why not bring a little bit more to eclipse season but I think Neptune in Pisces really brought spirituality up again back to the forefront but then
00:08:19
Emily McQueen
Neptune in Aries is really getting us to find well what's our own spiritual like path what does spirituality actually mean to us and it's bringing back that remembering rather than seeing what everyone else is doing and following what everyone else is doing and kind of cutting the bullshit a little bit it's like okay well we need to get back to those roots again. We need to go back to those old ways. And we're seeing that in so many different ways, even things like homeopathy becoming huge again.
00:08:50
Emily McQueen
Like it's that full remembering of what we used to always do.
00:08:57
karenteresa
Yeah. Yeah. Even the You know, there's a real homesteading movement that's really got some traction, you know, people growing food in their backyards again.
00:09:09
karenteresa
I mean, that went away for a long time.
00:09:11
Emily McQueen
Yeah.
00:09:13
karenteresa
And it's back.
00:09:14
Emily McQueen
Yeah.
00:09:15
karenteresa
It is back.
00:09:15
Emily McQueen
We're being called so much more to slow down and just be a little bit more self-reliant than, as we said, like that Pluto in Capricorn, were very much relying on something external, whereas now it's being taken away and we're relying on ourselves again, coming back to self and, as we said, remembering all of our roots and what we used to do.
00:09:33
karenteresa
Yeah, yeah
00:09:37
Emily McQueen
And connection with Mother Earth and the moon and... all the beautiful things.
00:09:44
karenteresa
yeah, it is beautiful. So you were talking about, you know, the zodiac, the 12 different signs and how they they move or the moon moves into them.
00:09:57
Emily McQueen
Yeah.
00:09:58
karenteresa
that correct? Yeah. Can you talk to that? Because I'm sure that everyone who listens is going to want to know, well, what is it that I need to know when you When you mentioned that, I thought, oh wonderful, because you you know I've got the tarot oils and one of the things that I've wanted to do is to actually make as a product the 12 tarot oils that align to the astrological signs.
00:10:28
karenteresa
So it will help me enormously to hear about this, but I'm sure that everybody else will be desperate to know as well. Because it that sounded fascinating when you mentioned that to me earlier.
00:10:41
karenteresa
So can you speak to that?
00:10:42
Emily McQueen
Yeah.
00:10:42
karenteresa
Is that cool?
00:10:43
Emily McQueen
So you can see through the transits where the moon moves or there's even like some cool free apps that you can get that actually just will even give you a notification when it moves into different zodiac signs. But for example, like we have a look. So as I said, we've got the new moon in Taurus coming up and we had the full moon in Libra,
00:11:04
Emily McQueen
I believe it was the 13th of April. So what happens then, we have the full moon in Libra and then it shifts into each zodiac sign until we get to the new moon in Taurus. So it shifts through all of them. So for example, today, as we're recording, the moon has just shifted into Aquarius.
00:11:23
Emily McQueen
So then we can have a look at some of those. I feel like it's a perfect time to be recorded as well for us today, but it's just shifted into Aquarius.
00:11:31
karenteresa
Yeah.
00:11:31
Emily McQueen
So some of the things that you might be looking at is that you can harness in your day is embracing like your weirdness, embracing like where you're heading as well.
00:11:43
Emily McQueen
Like Aquarius energy is very much about, okay, we're embracing our uniqueness, but also we're being progressive, where are we heading? What's our long term goals? What's our path?
00:11:55
Emily McQueen
And then over the coming days, then we'll shift into Pisces.
00:11:56
karenteresa
yeah
00:11:58
Emily McQueen
So some of the things that might be good to kind of work with is like delving into our emotions, working with our intuition, we might be drawn to spiritual practices and things like that.
00:12:12
Emily McQueen
And then we kind of keep shifting until we get to that new moon in Taurus. So even Aries, like Aries energy is very much about how it's the new beginning. So Aries is the start of the zodiac. So you can look at it in that way too. So we've just finished Aries season. We're into Taurus season.
00:12:32
Emily McQueen
So Aries is very much about, okay, well, when the moon's in Aries, you might want to start new projects.
00:12:33
karenteresa
yeah
00:12:38
Emily McQueen
You might want to start moving your body. You might be drawn to like even workouts that like hit workouts, like running, like that fast paced stuff is very much that.
00:12:46
karenteresa
wow. Yeah.
00:12:49
Emily McQueen
initiation energy like what can we start yeah I have a moon in Aries so I find it's good to move my body it helps me regulate a lot as much as then it I have my a lot of Taurus traits so it's an interesting combination but then we have this beautiful new moon in Taurus so it's very much Taurus then gets us to slow down as well it's like Let's take this time to reevaluate.
00:13:15
karenteresa
Thank you.
00:13:17
Emily McQueen
You can work on your self-love and your self-care and then we can look at what new seed we need to plant. So then you can look at that energy, what moon phase we're in and kind of tie them together as well.
00:13:33
karenteresa
Okay, so with the, let me just make sure I'm understanding this right. So, because you're talking about new moon and full moon and the zodiac signs, the 12 signs.
00:13:48
karenteresa
So with Aries, for example,
00:13:53
karenteresa
you were saying starting new projects. Does it, if the the if it's a full moon, Aries full moon, does that make it different to new moon?
00:14:03
Emily McQueen
Yeah. Yeah. So it can even be depending on like, again, what other aspects are kind of being tied in because we have all the planets then making up this beautiful chart for each moon.
00:14:13
karenteresa
Yeah.
00:14:13
Emily McQueen
But if then we have a new moon in Aries, we might be looking at, and we've just had the new moon in Aries eclipse only last month. We might be looking at starting new things and it's planting new seeds and new projects. It's quite a powerful moon to start that.
00:14:30
Emily McQueen
Whereas if we have full moon in Aries it's like okay well what's we can look at well what emotions are holding us back from starting our new projects do we have some beliefs that are stopping us from what we want to move forward with it's that letting go of what's coming up for you that's stopping so a lot of people might work on a bit of their subconscious programming and things that are stopping them from that new beginning
00:14:58
karenteresa
Cool, I think I understand now so You're working with the core concepts of the zodiac sign or the the the personality, shall we say, the zodiac sign, and then we're using the cycle of the moon that it's in to determine the way in which we work with the personality of that zodiac sign.
00:15:09
Emily McQueen
Yeah.
00:15:21
Emily McQueen
Yeah. yeah I describe it, it's like learning another language.
00:15:24
karenteresa
Cool.
00:15:27
Emily McQueen
Learning astrology is like learning another language and then looking at patterns and how things kind of come together and like, okay, we'll have a look at this pattern and this pattern.
00:15:29
karenteresa
Mm.
00:15:37
Emily McQueen
So it's,
00:15:39
karenteresa
yeah
00:15:39
Emily McQueen
Yeah, not as simple as just, yeah, looking at one different thing because the planet, everything's always shifting, everything's always evolving.
00:15:49
karenteresa
Yeah, it's a bit like learning the tarot. You know I'm a tarot girl, so of course here I am, I can speak tarot, so I'm translating astrology into tarot language. You know, it's like the English speaker is translating big the German that they're learning into
00:16:08
Emily McQueen
Yeah.
00:16:08
karenteresa
It makes confused.
00:16:09
Emily McQueen
And i love I love the way that tarot and astrology really come together and just really back up each other and just weave together so beautifully.
00:16:10
karenteresa
Yeah, better to go.
00:16:18
Emily McQueen
Yeah.
00:16:21
karenteresa
Yeah, yeah, they do. They do. and Okay, so with Aries, when the moon is in Aries, we are looking at new projects.
00:16:34
karenteresa
With Taurus, we're looking at...
00:16:38
karenteresa
was that you said?
00:16:39
Emily McQueen
it's more
Astrology and Tarot Integration
00:16:39
Emily McQueen
around like self-care self-love like slowing down it's very much about getting even in touch with nature getting like going for a walk out in nature and connecting with mother earth so we're just very cool it's funny how we go from like air is full-blown pace so you might run through nature whereas taurus you might walk through nature they kind of come one after the other
00:16:40
karenteresa
Self-care?
00:16:49
karenteresa
Yeah.
00:16:53
karenteresa
Mm.
00:17:06
karenteresa
And so when it's in Gemini, what's happening in nature?
00:17:09
Emily McQueen
We might be more communicating. So Gemini is ruled by Mercury. And so without going like too far into that, but it's more about communication. it might You might feel more social. You might want to connect with other people.
00:17:24
Emily McQueen
great day to work on like your social media if you're a business owner when Gemini moon is in so you can start kind of opening up a few of those things and like even planning your month around that okay well I'm gonna record all my podcasts during the Gemini moon I'm gonna create a heap of social media and things like that so that's some of the ways that you can look at it as well
00:17:33
karenteresa
right.
00:17:49
karenteresa
Oh, fantastic.
00:17:49
Emily McQueen
yeah
00:17:51
karenteresa
That is so cool. So the people that work with you, that you know, like I know that you run some masterminds and things like that for people.
00:18:03
karenteresa
Are you sort of teaching them how to as much as possible work that way?
00:18:09
Emily McQueen
So I have been, so I run a membership called Moon Magic and I kind of haven't even told them yet, but during eclipse season, a lot has kind of come to light and,
00:18:22
Emily McQueen
I'm very much wanting to, i was going to create a separate course because I do teach a lot of astrology and I do weave in a lot of human design as well. But I was going to create a separate course and I've kind of been starting that process. And during the eclipse season, I've been very called to, I'm actually just going to incorporate it all into my membership.
00:18:42
Emily McQueen
So I'm going to be teaching astrology through my membership.
00:18:43
karenteresa
Yeah. Mm-hmm.
00:18:46
Emily McQueen
I'm going to be teaching human design. I run, it has a whole, it already, it's been running for not quite two years, Moon Magic. So it has a whole portal of past replays. We've had masterclasses even on working with the moon.
00:18:59
Emily McQueen
It has meditations, rituals, and then we gather each month and we have like a full moon call.
00:19:04
karenteresa
and
00:19:05
Emily McQueen
So that's when we kind of dive into what the full moon is. And then we do like some journaling, some reflective practices. And then I do Reiki energy healing on everyone. So we just gather online and then If you can't make it, it's in the portal.
00:19:20
karenteresa
Beautiful.
00:19:20
Emily McQueen
But I'm really called to share astrology and human design in that way because I think, and it's going to be more about how do you embody it more than, hey, here's all the information.
00:19:20
karenteresa
Yeah. Yeah.
00:19:33
Emily McQueen
It's like, how can we actually embody this into our lives? And it's like this conversation we're having. It's like, okay, well, the moon's in this. How can you then utilize that? in your daily life.
00:19:43
karenteresa
yeah
00:19:44
Emily McQueen
And I think that's what's kind of missing. Yes, we can Google and even AI these days, you can look all different parts of it up, but if we're not embodying it, then there's no point. It's just information.
00:19:56
karenteresa
Exactly, and that' these days that's cheap.
00:19:59
Emily McQueen
Yeah.
00:20:01
karenteresa
Information does not create change.
00:20:03
Emily McQueen
Yeah, it's the same way. Like we can Google what a tarot card means, but the way that you teach is so embodied. It's like, how can we actually like, read into the energy, how can we actually utilise that energy and work with the energy rather than just, okay, here's a couple of key words.
00:20:21
karenteresa
Yeah, yeah, yeah, gotcha, gotcha. That is really cool. I'm loving that. Oh, my brain's just sparking off everywhere.
00:20:32
karenteresa
I've forgotten all the questions.
00:20:32
Emily McQueen
A lot of that, a lot of this idea actually came from the reading that you gave me end of last year too.
00:20:40
Emily McQueen
Yeah.
00:20:40
karenteresa
Oh,
00:20:41
karenteresa
Oh, how good is that?
00:20:42
Emily McQueen
Yeah.
00:20:43
karenteresa
Yeah, that's lovely.
00:20:44
Emily McQueen
good
00:20:45
karenteresa
That's spirit at work. Now, so I don't know whether to – entice you into speaking on each of the zodiac signs to yeah that would be wonderful yeah to do that yes cancer cancer
00:20:59
Emily McQueen
Yeah, we can talk about each one and when the moon's in that one. Yeah. what like We were just up to Gemini, so Cancer. Yeah. So then we go into, so I kind of try to go in the order that they go in.
00:21:15
Emily McQueen
So we go start with Aries, Taurus, Gemini, then we go into Cancer.
00:21:17
karenteresa
yep
00:21:20
Emily McQueen
So Cancer very much rules the home. So you might be, when the moon's in Cancer, you might be drawn to doing staying home.
00:21:25
karenteresa
Yep.
00:21:29
Emily McQueen
And obviously like in our day-to-day lives, that's not always possible, but the more we can kind of hone that energy, the better, but it might be, connecting with the people that live in your home. It might be connecting with even your cooking and different things like that. It's very much like doing things around the home.
00:21:49
Emily McQueen
Connecting with your intuition, even taking bath might be something that you might be able to do like during a Cancer moon. So it's a very intuitive kind of nurturing time. So what can you do to strengthen your intuition and nurture yourself? Because the moon loves being in Cancer.
00:22:06
Emily McQueen
it's ruled by cancer, so it's very at home in cancer.
00:22:12
karenteresa
Okay, that's that's interesting. You're sparking me here because, of course, that in the tarot, that's the chariot card.
00:22:18
Emily McQueen
Yeah.
00:22:20
karenteresa
And I'm thinking chariot is so gung-ho, but what as you're speaking, I'm thinking, hmm, all right, so when it's the Cancer Moon, the chariot is really being called to go to drop the armour and to go into that softer,
00:22:38
karenteresa
internal
00:22:42
Emily McQueen
Yeah.
00:22:42
karenteresa
space. Yeah, that's that's actually quite beautiful.
00:22:46
Emily McQueen
Which, and if you look at cancer, it's ruled by the crab. So it does have that hard exterior that sometimes doesn't let anything in which can be good thing and a bad thing, right?
00:22:54
karenteresa
Yeah. Yeah.
00:22:56
Emily McQueen
It can protect us, but it's that soft and nurturing on the inside. So I can see how that then relates to the chariot because he he wears the, I'm trying to think of the picture, he wears the armor as well.
00:23:04
karenteresa
yeah
00:23:08
Emily McQueen
So it's so interesting.
00:23:09
karenteresa
Yeah, yeah. So gooey on the inside, he needs the armour to survive.
00:23:14
Emily McQueen
Yeah, but he lets it down against the people that are closest to him.
00:23:16
karenteresa
Like...
00:23:20
karenteresa
Hmm, yeah, yeah, that's right.
00:23:21
Emily McQueen
Yeah.
00:23:23
karenteresa
Well, that's cool.
00:23:24
Emily McQueen
I love the way that they weave together.
00:23:24
karenteresa
All right.
00:23:27
karenteresa
Yeah, and of course that's helping me to understand that the astrology better.
00:23:33
Emily McQueen
Yeah.
00:23:34
karenteresa
Thank you for that. What have we got next? We've got Leo.
00:23:36
Emily McQueen
So Leo, Leo is very like you think the lion, like it's very bold, it's courageous. It's like how can we like, really shine in our world and really let ourselves be seen well.
00:23:51
Emily McQueen
So it might be, what have I written about it? So like fun, play, pleasure, creativity, like be creative on those days and allow yourself to shine. So it might even, depending on obviously where it also falls in your chart, but that might be a time to launch something in your business. If you're a business owner, like let yourself really be seen on social media and all of those different things.
00:24:14
Emily McQueen
So, yeah, allow that creativity to come through. It's
00:24:19
karenteresa
Yeah, cool. Yes, love the Leos. I have a lot of Leos in my life.
00:24:25
Emily McQueen
interesting when you attract a certain type of, yeah, but the zodiac into your life a lot. Yeah.
00:24:31
karenteresa
Jesus. So Virgo. jesus jesus um so virgo
00:24:36
Emily McQueen
Yeah. So Virgo is a little bit more about like, how can we get a little bit more organized? How can we, you might even feel drawn to organizing your home and things like that. It's like, Oh, that draw that I haven't got to, like, I might actually start organizing it now.
00:24:53
Emily McQueen
But it's also very much about like making plans, making routines.
00:24:54
karenteresa
Okay.
00:24:58
Emily McQueen
It's very much also focusing on your health and wellness. So it may be a really good time if you're like, Oh, okay. Okay. I've fallen off the health bandwagon. This might be a good time to kind of just get back into eating healthy. How can I look after my body? Like go get a massage even.
00:25:16
Emily McQueen
But, yeah, working on that health and wellness aspect of yourself as well as getting organised.
00:25:22
karenteresa
Cool, yeah. I've got a Virgo moon. I'm deeply grateful for it.
00:25:25
Emily McQueen
Yeah.
00:25:26
karenteresa
I'm sure I'd be of no earthly use without it. and So Libra, the justice card Libra.
00:25:31
Emily McQueen
Libra. so Libra is all about so we've just had the full moon in Libra but it's very much like balance harmony which balance is a bit of a controversial thing like trying to find balance because it's ruled by the scale so it's like how can we find balance and equilibrium but then it's also based on our relationships it's like you may be drawn to spending time with people
00:25:48
karenteresa
Yep.
00:25:58
Emily McQueen
how can you nurture your relationships and show them love and so you may feel a little bit more social to get out there and spend time with people?
00:26:08
karenteresa
Yeah, right. Okay. good time to have a party.
00:26:12
Emily McQueen
Potentially, yeah.
00:26:16
Emily McQueen
but
00:26:20
karenteresa
but This is fun. I've actually, I bought myself one of these. It was my gift to myself.
00:26:25
Emily McQueen
I'm not yet.
00:26:26
karenteresa
It's a year.
00:26:27
Emily McQueen
I've got one too.
Zodiac Signs and Personal Impact
00:26:31
karenteresa
Are you got the same colour as me?
00:26:32
Emily McQueen
It's blonde blue.
00:26:33
karenteresa
The velvety one.
00:26:35
Emily McQueen
Yeah, I like the blue.
00:26:35
karenteresa
Yeah, mine's blue too.
00:26:37
Emily McQueen
This is a great diary to get.
00:26:39
Emily McQueen
They're amazing.
00:26:42
karenteresa
Yes. i I opened it up when I – sorry for digressing. When I got it and I opened it up and I went, oh, my God, I think my little astrology course was not enough for me to understand this yearly planner.
00:26:59
Emily McQueen
you have
00:27:00
karenteresa
There's a lot in here.
00:27:02
Emily McQueen
Yeah, there's a lot of information, a lot. Like it's such great value. but it even has like you can actually have a look and see what day the moon is in as well.
00:27:08
karenteresa
Yeah, very
00:27:16
Emily McQueen
So you have a look and you're like, okay, so we're when we're recording we're at this day and you can see the sign and then the phase and what moon it is as well.
00:27:27
karenteresa
good.
00:27:27
Emily McQueen
So then we can have a look and see when it's – so we're in Aquarius at the moment and then when it shifts into Pisces and things like that.
00:27:28
karenteresa
Right.
00:27:33
Emily McQueen
So all you need to know is just the symbol and you can see then which one it is.
00:27:39
karenteresa
Yeah, yes.
00:27:40
Emily McQueen
Such a cool diary.
00:27:40
karenteresa
Oh, cool.
00:27:43
karenteresa
is It's amazing. And I know one of the ladies who was doing the psychic development course with me last year, she got one.
00:27:55
karenteresa
She got herself one for Christmas as well. And we have spoken, oh how are you going with your yearly planner? Yeah.
00:28:02
Emily McQueen
Do you understand it and Well, and it's it's like learning another language astrology.
00:28:07
karenteresa
I think she's cleverer at it than I am at the reeling, but still. like
00:28:13
Emily McQueen
Like it's so multilayered. And I like, I am constantly learning more astrology because I'm just obsessed with it. And all of like the mentors and teachers I work with, they're all like, you will never learn it all.
00:28:28
Emily McQueen
You will never learn it all. because it's always changing. And I love that too, because it's like, it's always that journey of learning.
00:28:31
karenteresa
Yeah.
00:28:37
karenteresa
Yeah. i I was shocked at just how deep it was. i mean, when I was younger, I was quite drawn to do it, but I was shit at math.
00:28:48
Emily McQueen
Yeah. and
00:28:49
karenteresa
I was really terrible at math. And back in the ancient days, of course, you had to be able to do it from the book.
00:28:55
Emily McQueen
Yeah.
00:28:56
karenteresa
There weren't the programs that we have now. And so that put me off. I i didn't i didn't go there for that reason.
00:29:03
Emily McQueen
Yeah.
00:29:04
karenteresa
But...
00:29:04
Emily McQueen
Yeah.
00:29:05
karenteresa
When I did my little course, and I did that to help me with the tarot cards, of course, I was blown away by all the different types, the different platforms that it sits onto.
00:29:18
Emily McQueen
yeah
00:29:19
karenteresa
It's fascinating. And I heard about something called galactic astrology.
00:29:28
Emily McQueen
yeah
00:29:28
karenteresa
Whoa. I was like, whoa, don't know about this.
00:29:30
Emily McQueen
but I haven't delved as much into that. At the moment, I'm kind of in a little bit of a past life astrology hole. That's interesting.
00:29:41
karenteresa
Oh, wow.
00:29:42
Emily McQueen
And seeing like in your chart where you've potentially had past lives and different things, like that's fascinating. But that's probably going to be my next rabbit hole is the galactic astrology because I've been learning a little bit off another person I follow.
00:29:49
karenteresa
Yeah.
00:29:56
Emily McQueen
I'm like, oh, okay, that's my next one.
00:30:00
karenteresa
Yeah. I've looked at some courses in that I might share with you.
00:30:04
Emily McQueen
Yeah, let me know. As I said, it's a never-ending, like, learning journey astrology.
00:30:07
karenteresa
and Fantastic. Fantastic. Okay.
00:30:13
karenteresa
I know this whole this whole spiritual pathway too, isn't it? I mean, it has its laneways and its highways. And then there's those one-way streets as well.
00:30:23
Emily McQueen
Yeah.
00:30:25
karenteresa
Trying to go down a one-way street. Yeah, that that's part of the fun of it, isn't it?
00:30:29
Emily McQueen
Yeah.
00:30:30
karenteresa
All right, where are we up to? we up to Scorpio?
00:30:33
Emily McQueen
think we're up to Scorpio so Scorpio is very much about that transformation and healing so when the moon's in Scorpio you might feel your emotions a little bit more intensely because it is such a deep sign I feel like they always get a bit of a bad rap but they're not like Scorpios are fine they just it can be very deep feelers deep thinkers
00:30:34
karenteresa
That's hit us with Scorpio.
00:30:58
Emily McQueen
But like great time to work on any healing that you feel like you need to do even shadow work and different things that you might need to integrate into your world.
00:31:06
karenteresa
Yeah.
00:31:09
Emily McQueen
Great time to do things like that. Like it's not a scary time.
00:31:14
karenteresa
yeah Yeah. And, yeah I mean, the Tarot card that goes with that, of course, is death. And, you know, in reading, you see people, they freak out. And that's what i say to them, what you just said, you know, this is is good.
00:31:29
Emily McQueen
Yeah.
00:31:29
karenteresa
It's actually good. It's a great opportunity.
00:31:32
Emily McQueen
Yeah.
00:31:35
karenteresa
So a good time to do your self-healing or is it a time when you would go to a healer for work or both?
00:31:42
Emily McQueen
Either either. Just a good time for healing in general.
00:31:45
karenteresa
Yeah.
00:31:48
Emily McQueen
Yeah.
00:31:50
karenteresa
Yeah, okay. All right, who's next?
00:31:53
Emily McQueen
Sagittarius so then it kind of brings in that adventurous like start having fun you might feel like going on a day trip or you might feel like planning a holiday around that time because you're just feeling a little bit more like oh we can do this we could do this so it's like adventure have fun like go experience something new even a different like if traveling's up your something you like to do like go experience a different culture like
00:31:56
karenteresa
Ooh.
00:32:21
Emily McQueen
travel during Sagittarius season
00:32:25
karenteresa
Yeah, right, okay. So it's like the fun after the deep dive into the healing.
00:32:29
Emily McQueen
yeah which I do love that polarity that astrology does have as well it's like it doesn't always have to be deep dive like like we have the deep dive and then we go to the fun
00:32:42
karenteresa
Yeah, cool. I love that. It's very good. And who's next?
00:32:45
Emily McQueen
Capricorn so Capricorn's very much about like our ambitions our long-term goals how we can even our long-term vision it's getting very grounded but then practical but then also like it does have a very feminine energy as well I feel like Capricorn gets this masculine like I don't know how to describe it, like er like energy, whereas it's actually like that really like nice feminine energy as well. It's that Mother Earth energy and it's very much about our long-term vision. How can we plant the seeds for where we really want to go over the next like even 10 to 15 years, not just like, okay, what's our six-month plan? It's like, no, what's the actual long-term vision and how can we start working towards that?
00:33:36
karenteresa
Okay, and I guess it's like we were talking at the beginning of our chat about the patriarchy and things. Capricorn sort of can get dumped in there, can't it?
00:33:44
Emily McQueen
Yeah. Yeah.
00:33:46
karenteresa
Yeah. Yeah. And that's the devil card. So, yeah all right, I'm getting that. So it's that, the play.
00:33:59
karenteresa
this play aspect in that. Do you see that in Capricorn?
00:34:04
Emily McQueen
I think so. It's very, it does just kind of get this, like I was saying, like that very like strong, just masculine, but there is that play and it's very much like,
00:34:15
Emily McQueen
living your life determined on what your own values and beliefs are. It's like even that coming back to self rather than what's the external noise. But it can be very like career ambition, all of those kind of things as well.
00:34:26
karenteresa
Yeah, okay.
00:34:32
Emily McQueen
But it can be in that soft way as well.
00:34:33
karenteresa
yeah
00:34:34
Emily McQueen
Like I think we see the words like career and ambition as like the masculine, but it's very feminine at the same time. It weaves them both together.
00:34:44
karenteresa
Yeah, that makes sense because some of those goals and ambitions is about nurturing a family too, isn't it?
00:34:51
Emily McQueen
Yeah.
00:34:53
karenteresa
Yeah, creating a beautiful piece of art.
00:34:55
Emily McQueen
Yeah.
00:34:56
karenteresa
Yeah. All right. And then Aquarius.
00:35:02
Emily McQueen
Which, yeah, as we're recording, that's what we're in at the moment. So it can very much tie in with the Capricorn of like long-term thinking, like that progressive thinking.
00:35:13
Emily McQueen
But it's also just embracing your own uniqueness, embracing your own weirdness and Just allowing yourself to be that rather than, again, what's everyone else kind of doing. It's like, well, what do I want to do?
00:35:26
Emily McQueen
What do i want to achieve in this world that's a little bit different? It's paving your own path.
00:35:35
karenteresa
Yeah, yeah. One of the things I'm curious about is, and this is an off-the-wall question,
00:35:47
karenteresa
what you're feeling about, because blah, blah, blah, let me clarify my thoughts for a moment.
00:35:55
karenteresa
What I'm wondering is, do we come in, do do we choose our time of birth to be a certain sign or help whichever order it happens in, you know, very chicken and egg.
00:36:10
karenteresa
So for example, i I'll just, I'll put it simpler because I'm not making sense. Like I'm an Aquarian. You're talking about with the Aquarian moon to embrace your weirdness. So because I'm an Aquarian, would you,
00:36:26
karenteresa
say that that is for me as a soul, it is my path this lifetime to become comfortable and easy with the weirdness.
00:36:37
Emily McQueen
Yeah, and it might even be, so it's your sun sign, did you say? it depends on also where it falls in your chart, but it can be very much around embracing a bit of that black sheep energy, which I know we've kind of discussed before, and doing things differently.
00:36:54
karenteresa
Yeah.
00:36:54
Emily McQueen
So do see people with strong Aquarius that sometimes they are quite different than even the family that they're born into. They might go out and like even have different careers or different life paths than maybe what their family are used to they'll just kind of like and it doesn't mean that it'll necessarily be a bad thing it's just that they'll just be a little bit different than other people but it is about if you have strong Aquarius like if you've got yeah your sun moon rising in Aquarius or strong other placements in Aquarius it is you're just here to do things differently and you can
00:37:30
Emily McQueen
even see things a little bit ahead of other people than someone that maybe has some other different signs it's like the Aquarius they're the progressive they're the free thinkers they are very much here to think differently and create a bit more freedom in life and lead us all that way especially like we're in that age of Pluto in Aquarius like it's your time to shine
00:37:47
karenteresa
So
00:37:56
karenteresa
so
00:38:00
karenteresa
in that same sort of stream of thinking, and I realise that I'm simplifying this to the max, and that's really difficult to do to an astrologer, I apologise. But just for, you know, but smaller thinkers like myself in regard to this, and like so like somebody who, say, Leo, for example, you know, if we were to just...
00:38:21
karenteresa
say, okay, so that's courage, you know, is that a key theme for them as the soul, that they are working to develop that courage in this lifetime?
00:38:31
Emily McQueen
yeah and the so it's like how the sun then if you're born and that's your star sign I think it's more commonly known as I always say sun but if that's your star sign it's like that's the energy that you're here to radiate yeah
00:38:46
karenteresa
Yes, okay. So it's like we're pushing through whatever or learning that new thing, really grappling with it, yeah.
00:38:52
Emily McQueen
yeah
00:38:53
karenteresa
Okay, thank you. I realise it's a very simplistic question in a way.
00:38:56
Emily McQueen
No, that's okay.
00:39:00
karenteresa
feel like sometimes it's, for me, sometimes it's really easy when it gets, when a few concepts are really made basic for me, then I can like start to build on that and everything starts to fall into place.
00:39:16
karenteresa
I don't know if that's true for other people, so I apologise.
00:39:16
Emily McQueen
Yeah.
00:39:19
karenteresa
Too small the question. Anyway, now, so Pisces.
00:39:23
Emily McQueen
Yeah, so that's the time that we can really bring our imagination in, like our dreams. It's also, again, like a quite a deep feeler. So it might be a time where you feel your emotions are a little bit more heightened.
00:39:36
Emily McQueen
And being the ending of the zodiac too, it's like, there could feel like some endings are playing out before we step into that new beginning of the Aries again.
00:39:37
karenteresa
Hmm.
00:39:46
Emily McQueen
but It's, yeah, working with your emotions, working with your imagination. You might be drawn to doing some spiritual rituals and things during that Pisces moon, maybe even getting a tarot reading during that time.
00:39:57
karenteresa
Yeah, you
00:39:59
Emily McQueen
Yeah, where things are going next.
00:40:04
karenteresa
right. That is so cool. So it really does provide way of showing up for yourself.
00:40:17
karenteresa
by just tracking where the moon's at, how you can nurture and support yourself throughout that whole cycle.
00:40:26
Emily McQueen
yeah
00:40:28
karenteresa
Very beautiful, Emily. That's lovely.
00:40:31
Emily McQueen
just such a good way of like just getting more in tune with yourself and even seeing like okay well how am i feeling like even in your diary write down okay well it's an aquarius moon today what's kind of coming up for me and then next month when the moon's in aquarius see if there's any different patterns or things relate and like okay well every time the moon's in aquarius this is how i feel or Every time the moon's in Pisces, like i'm highly emotional.
00:40:58
Emily McQueen
Okay, how can I build some support for myself every time the moon's in this different sign?
00:41:06
karenteresa
Yeah, right. And so i guess once you've got that clarification or that awareness for yourself that you are X at this period of time, you can plan your life accordingly.
00:41:18
Emily McQueen
Yeah.
00:41:19
karenteresa
Big events. Yeah. Choose your parties when you're, you know, feeling Libran-ish.
00:41:25
Emily McQueen
yeah Yeah, 100%.
00:41:30
Emily McQueen
Yeah, okay, the moon's in Virgo. I'm not going to go out until it moves into Libra. Yeah.
00:41:36
karenteresa
Exactly, exactly, or
Emily's Moon Magic Membership
00:41:38
karenteresa
something of that nature.
00:41:38
Emily McQueen
expect
00:41:41
karenteresa
Oh, wow, wow. your Your program sounds beautiful with that incorporation of the human design because that's a whole language of itself as well.
00:41:51
Emily McQueen
Yeah, but again, it does very much relate into astrology. They're very connected and just bring like an extra layer.
00:42:01
karenteresa
Yeah. Yeah, wow. So what do you... What are you seeing with the, you know, as you take your clients through this monthly process? Like is it a 30?
00:42:15
karenteresa
bo How long have you been doing it?
00:42:17
Emily McQueen
In June, it'll be two years since Moon Magic started.
00:42:17
karenteresa
years.
00:42:20
Emily McQueen
Yeah.
00:42:21
karenteresa
Right.
00:42:21
Emily McQueen
So like it's something that people can come and go from. You're not locked in. You can sign up monthly, but you can cancel anytime. So you're not locked in. So I've had people that have been there from the start. Some people come and go as they need to, just depending on if they need that extra support. Because I know life gets busy.
00:42:38
Emily McQueen
We can't always be doing things.
00:42:41
karenteresa
How wonderful. that And that's very moon-like, isn't it? Very flow.
00:42:46
Emily McQueen
Yeah.
00:42:47
karenteresa
How beautiful.
00:42:47
Emily McQueen
And I just love sharing astrology.
00:42:48
karenteresa
I love that.
00:42:50
Emily McQueen
i think for me, when I first, like i used to love learning about the planets when I was at school. Like I remember learning about them, like, whoa, this is really cool. And then as I got older, I just loved astrology. And then I did like an official course on astrology, but it felt like more of a remembering than actually learning, which even everything that I've studied,
00:43:14
Emily McQueen
astrology is the only thing that's really deeply felt like that it's like okay it's like I've already known this in another lifetime
00:43:22
karenteresa
Yeah, yeah. Wow. yeah You do find your thing, don't you? Your main vehicle and you sort of, yeah, it's wonderful. So, Do people come to you and get birth charts done? Do they do it annually? what How do you work with clients when you're doing the astrology charts and stuff for them?
00:43:45
karenteresa
You do do them, yes.
00:43:48
karenteresa
Yeah.
00:43:50
Emily McQueen
If someone just wants one or the other, then I'm happy to do that too. But most people I find we combine them together in like a birth chart reading. So then I go over their astrology, their human design chart and how that kind of, it's like, who are you at the, at the core?
00:44:07
Emily McQueen
And how, who are you at that unique side of yourself?
00:44:09
karenteresa
Thank you.
00:44:10
Emily McQueen
And, So I do the actual birth chart readings and then I do offer like transit readings as well. So if someone's had a birth chart reading before, they might just want to look at, okay, well, what are the planets doing for the next year and how will that then affect me? So there's kind of two different ways you can look at things, but the birth chart reading, you can really hone in on.
00:44:33
Emily McQueen
like who you are and we go into like your sun, your moon, your rising, where everything falls. So then you can kind of get a really good look at, yeah, your own unique chart.
00:44:41
karenteresa
Yes.
00:44:44
Emily McQueen
And I find a lot of people, it is, it's like nearly like a remembering. It's like, oh, actually I did used to be like that before I was told to be like this. And it's very much my work's very based around who are you before the world told you who to be and bringing it back like how can we shed all these layers off of all you were told that you were an introvert when actually your chart says that you're an extrovert and how can we get rid of all of that so you can come back to you being an extrovert so it's very much about it
00:45:18
karenteresa
I will unfuck you.
00:45:21
karenteresa
Like, unfuck you.
00:45:22
Emily McQueen
Yeah, yeah, because so often we just get so much conditioning put on us and like we can't help that. Like all of our limiting beliefs are made up by the age of seven.
00:45:33
Emily McQueen
So if that part of us isn't nurtured, which majority of the time it isn't, then how do we figure out who we actually are?
00:45:35
karenteresa
Yeah.
00:45:42
Emily McQueen
And I think that's it's not the journey of learning more. It's actually the journey of unraveling and figuring out who's in there already.
00:45:51
karenteresa
Yeah, exactly. So clients can come and like do a year ahead. I know I've i've had that done. So you can do the year ahead and...
00:46:04
Emily McQueen
Yeah, yeah.
00:46:04
karenteresa
Yeah.
00:46:05
Emily McQueen
And I do i usually advertise them at the start of the year, but you can get them anytime as well. I just find people love to get them at the start of January because it's like that, I don't know, that Gregorian calendar that we've always followed of January to December.
00:46:12
karenteresa
yeah
00:46:20
Emily McQueen
So I find a lot of people get them in January. So that's like my main thing in January. But otherwise you can get them anytime as well. Yeah.
00:46:30
karenteresa
Beautiful. Thank you for that. So you you touched on the Gregorian calendar, which is interesting because something flashed through my mind this morning and it was like, hmm, ask Emily about the 13-month calendar.
00:46:48
karenteresa
what What are your thoughts about... the So what are your thoughts about time and the calendar that we are required to use now? I mean, you're happy to have a little share some around that?
00:46:58
Emily McQueen
Yeah.
00:47:01
Emily McQueen
So I don't love the Gregorian calendar. I think, again, it's that thing that's been made up from the patriarchy that really disconnects us from ourselves and disconnects us from our proper cycles because it just doesn't make sense to me that we would start a new calendar, like, don't know, during Capricorn season and then shifting, because especially because Pisces is the last of the Zodiac.
00:47:27
Emily McQueen
it just doesn't make sense to me. I feel like we're really like winding things down rather than starting new things. So there's a few, I believe there's a few ways you can look at it. Aries season being a beginning is usually when I kind of look at starting a new cycle and going through yeah the Zodiac. So Aries season, a lot of people then because we're a little bit switched around.
00:47:53
Emily McQueen
So we're obviously in the Southern hemisphere, spring equinox is also a really good time that you can kind of have that new beginning.
00:47:57
karenteresa
Yeah. Yep.
00:48:01
Emily McQueen
so then you've got like, that's more like September, whereas like airy season in the Northern hemisphere is the spring equinox. So it's even the same way that we celebrate like Halloween the 31st October, but we're actually coming up to it like end of next week.
00:48:15
karenteresa
yeah
00:48:18
Emily McQueen
So it's just we need to kind of come back to our own cycles, not the American northern hemisphere cycles.
00:48:20
karenteresa
ye
00:48:27
Emily McQueen
And then another way that I look at it in another astrology lens is that you can start your own personal new year in your rising sign.
00:48:27
karenteresa
Oh,
00:48:36
Emily McQueen
So depending on what your rising sign is, because that rules the first house, And then the first house goes around and then you come back to your 12th house. So whatever's in your, say, 12th house. So I'm a Gemini rising.
00:48:51
Emily McQueen
So that means that you go backwards. Taurus is in my 12th house. So that's actually like the end of the year for me. So Taurus season that we're in right now is like an end of year for me. So then I can start my new beginning in Gemini season.
00:49:05
Emily McQueen
So your rising sign is really the thing that creates this new beginning for you because you start going then around your own chart again so there's a few ways you can look at it but then I'm also a big believer that we have a new moon every month so we can start a new cycle every single month but definitely not the Gregorian calendar
00:49:26
karenteresa
yeah if okay very cool i love the i love the solstices and the equinoxes that that speaks for me and really i love that
00:49:43
Emily McQueen
We celebrate in Moon Magic as well.
00:49:44
karenteresa
that
00:49:45
Emily McQueen
I do just recorded workshops on celebrating that. And I've even started doing it a lot with my kids. And that's why I've started doing it more in the membership too, because even my eldest son, he just loves it.
00:49:57
Emily McQueen
Like we set up altars on our dining room table for the seasons. And like even during the winter solstice last year, we went and collected like pine cones and different things and made this altar and he just loves it.
00:50:10
Emily McQueen
So I think it's great to get the kids
Astrology's Societal Influence and Acceptance
00:50:11
karenteresa
Yeah.
00:50:12
Emily McQueen
involved as well and not only for our us but, yeah, for them as well.
00:50:16
Emily McQueen
And bringing back those traditions because that's what our ancestors did.
00:50:18
karenteresa
Yeah.
00:50:22
karenteresa
Exactly. we We worked by the seasons and the light of the sun and the moon.
00:50:27
Emily McQueen
Yeah.
00:50:30
karenteresa
I'm always, always struggle with Christmas. Like I really want a party on the 21st. And it it sort of bums me out because every every couple of years I go, no, I want to have a party and invite everyone on the 21st.
00:50:45
karenteresa
But, of course, people are going away. It's such a busy time.
00:50:48
Emily McQueen
Well, and even us in the southern hemisphere, we really should be celebrating it like 21st of June.
00:50:50
karenteresa
And they're all.
00:50:56
karenteresa
Yeah. Yes, exactly. Exactly.
00:50:58
Emily McQueen
We're all the wrong way around.
00:50:59
karenteresa
Yeah.
00:51:00
Emily McQueen
Like even we've just celebrated Easter, but Easter's traditionally like spring equinox. Yeah.
00:51:07
karenteresa
ye It's so, so stupid.
00:51:10
Emily McQueen
No wonder we're disconnected.
00:51:11
karenteresa
And we have – yeah, exactly. Even – I watched this fabulous presentation by this guy which was done a few years ago, on astrology actually,
00:51:25
karenteresa
i've got it I've put it in that private Facebook group group I've got for Tarot, actually.
00:51:30
Emily McQueen
I'll have to have a look.
00:51:32
karenteresa
Yeah, he was doing the presentation at the Baldwin Library in Melbourne, and it was fabulous. But, of course, in his description... He's speaking Northern Hemisphere talk.
00:51:48
karenteresa
And, of course, being here in the Southern Hemisphere and not totally all over everything, I found that a little struggle. And I think that's what happens with a lot of people who are looking to follow a more nature-based path is they get confused about this North and South thing.
00:52:07
karenteresa
It always sends me nuts when we're doing Halloween here on the 31st of October. I just...
00:52:13
Emily McQueen
yeah but
00:52:16
karenteresa
Yeah, it's it we really have to leave our convict roots behind 110% and change it. And that's going to be difficult because it's such a retail-oriented,
00:52:31
karenteresa
it's such a moneymaker now and again. We're back to the big corporate stuff, isn't it?
00:52:34
Emily McQueen
yeah but i think we're really going to see that starting to crumble down it's even
00:52:36
karenteresa
Yeah.
00:52:41
Emily McQueen
celebrity cultures really starting to crumble down and things like that like we're really seeing all of that crumbling down thank you Neptune in Pisces for doing that but I think it is starting to crumble and people are wanting to return to their roots I think it'll be a slow burn but it's coming and I think people are feeling that they're wanting to connect more
00:53:05
karenteresa
Do you, either personally or through your, you know, astrological lens, what do you think we can expect to see? How do you think we're going to see this happen?
00:53:20
Emily McQueen
through this like astrology lens or just a few.
00:53:24
karenteresa
but Either way, I mean, i'm I'm talking to you, so you are all of that, so however you want to respond.
00:53:31
Emily McQueen
I think it's going to take time. i don't, I think again, it's a very slow burn. I don't think, and we've seen this over the past few years, people, people don't love to look at the dark side of things. And even like,
00:53:48
Emily McQueen
I think that's where like even Scorpio gets a bad rap because it's like that shadow work, that depth, like people don't want to look at the dark side of things. Everyone kind of just wants to live. Okay. We'll just stay in love and light and that everything's going to be okay.
00:54:02
karenteresa
Yeah.
00:54:02
Emily McQueen
And I think very much in spirituality as well, that's been a really big thing. Okay. Well, we only focus on all this love and light. Like we're not looking over here. Like we're not looking at all the bad stuff that's kind of happening in the world.
00:54:16
Emily McQueen
And
00:54:17
karenteresa
yeah
00:54:17
Emily McQueen
I think that's really going to change. I think this Neptune Aries that we've just had end of March is really like Neptune in Pisces, it can be the dream or it can be imagination, but the polarity is also illusion. It can be fog.
00:54:33
Emily McQueen
It can be, we can't actually see through it. And as soon as Neptune shifted into Aries, it's like, The fog is starting to lift and I think people are starting to see things for what it really is. And it's like we look at like even what happened the other day with this apparent space trip with all these females, celebrities going to space and it was meant to be this big thing.
00:54:58
Emily McQueen
And you look online at some of the comments, people are really against it and they're bagging out the celebrities and they're saying how ridiculous it is because they're like, they're spending all of this money on all of these ridiculous things that probably aren't even real, like that people are starting to see through the illusion. And they're like, why are you funneling money into this instead of funneling it into where the world actually needs it?
00:55:22
Emily McQueen
And I think that's where people are starting to see through the Like I'm quite surprised at how many people have been
00:55:24
karenteresa
Yeah.
00:55:28
Emily McQueen
speaking out against it whereas previously i think they would have seen the illusion be like oh yeah that's really cool women empowerment but now we're seeing it's like people seeing through the bullshit and seeing that that's not women empowerment it's just ridiculous
00:55:45
karenteresa
yeah Even things like the Gucci handbags and stuff being made in the same factories in China as the cheap ones.
00:55:52
Emily McQueen
yes
00:55:55
karenteresa
Fascinating. And some other things that have come up in the in the news recently about what went on in Victoria a few years ago.
00:56:03
Emily McQueen
me
00:56:04
karenteresa
Just fascinating the things that are coming up. So... I think what you're saying is we're going to see more and more of that and that's going to create the shift that we're going to look at that, the dark side as well as the light.
00:56:19
Emily McQueen
we We have to. i think it's going to be forced in front of our eyes and like us intuitives and the people that have felt it, we've felt this shift coming for a while and even
00:56:25
karenteresa
Yeah.
00:56:32
Emily McQueen
again, from an astrology lens, like this whole year, like we've had all of our big planets that only shift every, like some of them shift every 14 years. Some of them shift every seven years.
00:56:46
Emily McQueen
All of the big planets, the collective planets are starting new beginnings. Like we had Pluto into Aquarius, Neptune into Aries. We have Uranus shifting at some point. I can't remember when.
00:56:58
Emily McQueen
Saturn shifting into Aries around, want to say June off the top of my head. The nodes shifting, like all of these planets are like starting this collective new beginning.
00:57:06
karenteresa
Because.
00:57:10
Emily McQueen
So I think we're just in the early stages of that and it's just going to open up even more and more. But yeah, we can't deny it. We're starting this new cycle that I think he's very well needed.
00:57:24
karenteresa
Yeah, yeah. i I saw a quote just the other day. It went something along the lines of, I don't think I've got it quite right, it is in the darkest night that we see the brightest light.
00:57:36
Emily McQueen
Yeah.
00:57:38
karenteresa
And I love that. Now, one more question. I'm just aware of the time, Emily. I've been holding you here.
00:57:43
Emily McQueen
You're fine.
00:57:45
karenteresa
And now that question is, oh, yes, the question, the question was, with all of this this big shift that happened in, i think it was January, with all those planets lining up,
00:57:58
karenteresa
do you think that's going to change astrology at a sort of foundational level or not?
00:58:08
Emily McQueen
I don't think it'll shift astrology as per se because it's always like the planets are always shifting and making their own patterns. They don't all change at the same time in the same year. So that's why it's such a big thing.
00:58:23
Emily McQueen
But I think people are starting to lean further and further into it and I think astrology is very being it was one of the original things that's been around longer than any of us would ever know it's one of the original things and I think people are starting to actually look at it as it has some substance behind it rather than i think people have seen it as like this woo-woo like oh what are you talking about the planets like Mercury's in Gatorade
00:58:29
karenteresa
Yes.
00:58:53
Emily McQueen
where they're actually seeing like it's actually affecting them.
00:58:54
karenteresa
do
00:58:56
Emily McQueen
Like you can't, like the moon literally affects the tides and the ocean. We're made up of however many percentage of water. It has to affect us. Like there's no denying it.
00:59:06
karenteresa
Yeah.
00:59:07
Emily McQueen
And I think the more you work on yourself and the more you work on your intuition, you can't deny the feeling that you get and you can feel things shift And I think it's only when people are quite disconnected from themselves that they can't actually feel at all. So the more we connect in, that's when astrology, I think, really makes sense to people.
00:59:30
Emily McQueen
They're like, we can't deny it anymore because i can feel it shifting.
00:59:32
karenteresa
yeah
00:59:34
Emily McQueen
I can feel myself feeling a bit different about the full moon and like, even when I used to work in my muggle job before I had kids and delved into this, I worked at the special school in town.
00:59:45
karenteresa
Yeah,
00:59:46
Emily McQueen
And I remember my boss used to always say to me, Em, when's the next full moon? And he'd like jot it down in his calendar. because He's like, okay, make sure that we're kind of all, everyone's all grounded and ready to go because people do have heightened emotions during that time.
01:00:00
Emily McQueen
So I think it's becoming, and don't want to say mainstream, but more mainstream. Yeah. people are seeing yeah the substance behind it
01:00:06
karenteresa
have more acceptable.
01:00:12
karenteresa
You know how cops and nurses are often get together.
01:00:18
karenteresa
<unk>ve've ah've got of a friend who's married to a copper and it's a but bit of an in-joke because they get to hang out a lot, especially at the full moon, because they're really busy in the emergency room and the police are super busy at the full moon.
01:00:33
Emily McQueen
yeah
01:00:34
karenteresa
Like it's, they know, they know.
01:00:35
Emily McQueen
Yeah. It's when everyone's a bit heightened and things happen.
01:00:41
karenteresa
Exactly, exactly. All right, now we've we've flipped over the hour. So what have, oh, my God, there's so much we haven't covered probably, but
01:00:51
Emily McQueen
if We could talk for hours.
01:00:54
karenteresa
probably could but we've kind of, i think we've hit the things that we'd hoped to, yeah. So
01:01:05
karenteresa
if somebody wants to work with you, how do they contact you?
01:01:09
Emily McQueen
So my Instagram is where I tend to hang out the most and that's emilymmcqueen is my Instagram handle. So you can get in contact through there.
01:01:21
Emily McQueen
I do post a lot of astrology stuff. I always do like a full moon and a new moon post and then you can kind of, I even have like cosmic messages where you can look up what you're, like what's coming up for you during the moon and yeah, give a little bit of guidance and that has all my links in there.
01:01:36
karenteresa
Cool. Cool.
01:01:37
Emily McQueen
You can even on my website, which is in my link on Instagram, otherwise it's www.emilymcqueen.com.au.
01:01:38
karenteresa
cool
01:01:46
Emily McQueen
You can actually, have a new thing that's taken me a lot to build, but you can actually look up your astrology and your human design charts on my website now. And when you look it up, you can actually, it gives you like a little reading, mini reading about each aspect of your chart. So it's a really good,
01:02:04
Emily McQueen
way to get some foundational knowledge on your chart if you can get your birth time as close as possible the better yeah we'll make it easier but if you can't get your birth time even get in contact with me and i can help with that and help you look up your chart but we can get some pretty a pretty good idea of where everything is just you knowing the day that you're born so yeah you can look all of that up on my website as well so i encourage you to look at that
01:02:11
karenteresa
yeah
01:02:30
karenteresa
Great. i know Thank you. That's awesome. I'll put your website and your Insta handle in the notes for the show too.
01:02:37
Emily McQueen

01:02:41
karenteresa
