Lunar lover and bestselling author Kirsty Gallagher joined the Chris Evans Breakfast Show with Sky to talk about the magical and mysterious ways in which the moon can shape our moods - and, yes, the lunar can make us loony.
The Sunday Times bestseller told Chris about her publication: “So my plan for the journal was that rather than people just hear me speak you were able to form this beautiful connection yourself with the lunar energies through feeling into each new and full moon, first and last quarter, as to how you were feeling in your heart and where those lunar energies were guiding you to so that you could then develop your own really intimate connection with her."
On the power of journaling, she said: “Summation is a real way to get to know myself because as we all know when we meet other people they meet a version of us that we want them to meet and so sometimes we’re different versions of ourselves with different people and journaling for me takes you inwards.
"It takes us into our inner world into the parts of us we maybe try and hide from, into the parts of us that are scared, into the parts of us that are unsure, that doubt and equally into the parts that hold those big dreams and big desires.
“Journaling for me is just a way to get to know yourself on such an intimate and deep level and it helps us sometimes bypass that thinking mind who wants to solve everything under the sun rise and just take us into the real depths of our being in that moment.
“If you can just take the new and full moons twice a month to sit with yourself and check in and say, where am I? Am I heading in the direction I want to go? And if not, why not?
"It makes you accountable for your own life, it gives you back the control of the direction your life is going in rather than the monkey mind."
What guidance does she have on making the most out of 2021? She said: “I live by the astrological year so the start of the astrological year is the 20th March when we get the spring equinox, because for me to make wishes and dreams in January when it's cold and dark and grey is so difficult.
"On 20th March you look around you and nature is coming to life, spring’s coming and you feel alive."
