Podcast appearances and mentions of april mcmurtry

Welcome back to Lunar Currents, a special feature of the Between the Moon podcast with your host April McMurtry of THE MOON IS MY CALENDAR and award-winning predictive astrologer, psychic medium, mentor, and astrology teacher Bronwyn Simons.Today's episode is like 3 mini-episodes in one! To begin with, Bronwyn and I discuss practical wisdom for developing and sustaining a lunar tracking practice and why it is so important for these times.We also share some personal experiences with our Progressed Moon Signs (link below to look up yours) as an example of tracking our awareness with a particular cycle that brings us into deep relationship with each of the signs.And then we play a little guessing game with two of the planets who are preparing to make some big moves next year. The suggestion we offer to track when the moon moves from Pisces to Aries each cycle is one way to get a sense of the upcoming conjunction of Saturn and Neptune. Join our Mercurial minds as we explore how Standing on the Seawall is more than just a metaphor for the interplay between these planets as we navigate unprecedented times in deciphering illusion and reality.Here is a timeline of dates for the the interplay of Saturn and Neptune as they approach a new synodic cycle at the Big Bang Degree of 0 degrees Aries in Feb 2026.Saturn & Neptune both in Pisces: March 2023 - March 2025Saturn in Pisces, Neptune in Aries: March 2025 - May 2025Saturn & Neptune both in Aries: May 2025 - Sep 2025Saturn & Neptune return to Pisces: Oct 2025 - Jan 2026Neptune enters Aries again: Jan 26 2026Saturn enters Aries again: Feb 13 2026Saturn/Neptune conjunction at 0 Aries: Feb 20 2026Saturn & Neptune both in Aries: Feb 2026 - Apr 2028Dates drawn from the Lady Cazimi article linked below.))

Listen as they go deeper into what a lunar calendar can bring.  3 Ways You Can Use the Lunar Cycle To Improve Your Life  April shares her top 3 ways you can integrate the lunar cycle into your life. The discussion is around the importance of getting into the ease of a rhythm. You can also experiment with the cycles of new moon to full moon to find what works best for you.  The Elemental Energy of the Moon  The elements are associated with each astrological sign (earth, water, fire, air) and by finding where your moon sign lies and the element associated with that placement. April also goes into how to handle when the moon returns into your sign through each cycle.  How to Know Your Venus  Each astrological body has a cycle. They are different lengths of time and have different themes. From Earth, Venus also has phases. Listen as April describes the uniqueness of Venus' 8 year cycle and the themes that come around what we love and what we attract.  Take this opportunity to plan your energy along with the phases of the moon this cycle and see where it may lead. Here's to staying Spiritual & Ambitious.  0:00 Intro  5:20 Consequences of the Solar Calendar  13:15 3 Ways You Can Use the Lunar Cycle To Improve Your Life  20:57 The Elemental Energy of the Moon  34:33 How to Know Your Venus  LINKS:  Lunar Zodiac Series  Use code WHITNEY20 for 20% off the Moon Calendar  8 Year Venus Rose  Connect with April on Facebook  April's Instagram  FREE Spirit Guide Master Class  Enroll in 4 Intuitive Languages® now  Whitney's Instagram    ** Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts ** Please consider rating and reviewing my show, Spiritual and Ambitious!

In today's episode we explore parallels between the lunar cycle and the harvest cycle. Let's feel into how the phases of the moon inform and map onto the twelve houses of the natal chart. I give a taste of each of the houses and how they may connect with the phases- this is all just the tip of the iceberg! Working with the moon is working with our inner landscape. Working with the Harvest Cycle is working with the movement of the sun through our birth chart throughout the solar year. The lunar cycle is like a mini-year. Both wax and wane, grow and release light and life. Listen and learn about what is possible when we weave these two cycles together. May this episode bring you into closer relationship with being in season with yourself.

“One of the things that can move us through life's cycles is outgrowing where we are currently. That's why it's essential to step evolve and not get stuck in one place.”We are all spiritual beings living a human existence. And there are times when we need to declutter to get a better picture of what wants to be birthed within us. We must be mindful that the life cycles and nature are our guides to help us tap into ourselves and to stay aligned. We move with pure intentions when we understand the cycles of life. And we must remember to dance through and enjoy those cycles. Remember, we go inward for us to go outward. For this episode I am joined by April McMurtry for her to share her Lunar wisdom with us. April is a dynamic Lunar facilitator, course creator, and founder of THE MOON IS MY CALENDAR. April loves to share the language of the Moon to help us access our inner wisdom - inspiring us all to take care of ourselves, each other, and the Earth! Join me in learning about the Lunar Cycle and how to listen to our body's rhythmic energy patterns and dance with the cycle to breathe purpose and alignment into our  lives. Exceptional HighlightsWe must live and embody what we teach to our people to emulate our powerful message. It can look like coming stepping back from practices for maintenance and prioritizing ourselves.Bringing our mindfulness, attention, and awareness to the moon's pulse of natural cycles can transform our thoughts, experiences, and emotional state through a whole new lens. When we open our hearts, we know for ourselves the risks we are willing to take to understand what we have, what we can do, and what we can hold. Much like the energy of a rose, you will not see its beauty without its petals and thorns. Episode Highlights17:02 The Journey to understanding alignment with Lunar TimeApril: The best way to communicate the moon's guidance is to find it within your body or the BREATH.29:50 Rhythmic Energy Cycle as a start to following the Lunar CalendarApril: Is my energy spiraling outward?

You are invited to come dance with Venus as she weaves her beauty in the sky and on earth. In this solo episode I explore the dates and themes of the eighth year rose that is completing with formation of the upcoming star point on October 22nd, 2022. As you listen you may notice the vibration of abundance and love that Venus transmits. The orbit of Venus is rhythmic and creates a rose or a five-pointed star by returning to the same points over and over throughout our lifetimes. These points of the Venus Rose are formed each time Venus aligns with the Sun and Earth every nine months or so. The points also shift ever so slightly around the zodiac, and we are about to experience the movement from Scorpio into Libra and what this could bring up. The Venus cycle plays a significant role in timekeeping for many cultures around the globe. Her dual nature from morning star to evening star and back again has been predicted and written about by Mayan astronomers as well as on ancient cuneiform tablets of Babylonia dating back to the first millennium BCE. Venus and the Moon also interweave their cycles together and offer context for practicing self-study in relationship with cycles.

(36:30) Wisdom of waning (40:20) What do we gain from knowing our birth moon phase? (42:40) Discussing the influence of the moon on our actions Key Takeaways 1. Honoring the Lunar cycle doesn't only have to be the physical phases of the moon; it can be followed throughout daily life as well as an entire lifetime. 2. Recognizing the yin and yang energies of the full and new moon, we can incorporate these meditations throughout our daily practices. Using our breath as an example, we can see the inflation and deflation of our lungs much like the full and new moon. 3. To begin learning about the Lunar cycle, closely working with a Lunar calendar will be the best tool. Circular calendars are a helpful reminder that time flows in cycles.

April McMurtry is a dynamic Lunar Facilitator and course creator who supports people on their path of growth and transformation through the simple yet profound practice of self-study in relationship with cycles. Her work reflects her passion for nature-based cycles, wellness, and creative expression.  The moon is a mirror and bridge that helps us connect with our inner wisdom. Every phase has a distinct quality, and developing a relationship with your natal moon phases may illuminate a dimension of yourself that may have been hidden. The moon illuminates our emotional needs, home and belonging, comfort zones, and intuition. The realm of the moon is private rather than public, the lunar self seeks nourishment and to nurture others. Intentionally connecting with the moon can take the form of building trust so that your inner child feels safe to ask for what they need. It can also be creating containers in your life for healing.
