Those who will be most affected by the eclipse today will be the ones with:
Scorpio and Taurus Placements in their birth chart
Scorpio or Taurus as their Annual Profection year
Sun or Moon as Chart Ruler
Sun or Moon as Ruling Planet from Profection year
Scorpio or Taurus in Personal Progressed calendar
Also check out your Venus placement (as Venus rules Taurus) and your Mars (ancient) and Pluto (modern) placements (as Mars and Pluto rules Scorpio).
This moon is also part of Saros cycle 141. The last time the moon was in the same Saros Cycle was April 24 2005, before April 14 1987. Sometimes the same themes that were going on for you on the previous Saros Cycle time will come up for you.
This Scorpio moon also started in November 23 2022. On Nov 23rd 2022 we had a NEW MOON in Scorpio, now we have a FULL MOON in Scorpio. This means any intentions set at the NEW MOON in Scorpio last November, will be illuminated around this time.
Of course there was also a NEW MOON in Taurus on April 20th, and now we have a FULL MOON. So in the moon’s monthly cycle we also have whatever intentions we set at the previous new moon also coming to light now.
On eclipses: As the last new moon was a Solar Eclipse, and this full moon is a Lunar Eclipse, it means we are in ‘eclipse season’. This is a really swirly whirly time! Eclipses are big energy and trigger big change, the ancients used to fear them! It’s a time of closing a door. Sadly my baby cat Tutti died on the May eclipse in 2022. This isn’t to say the most dreadful things will always happen to us every eclipse, but it is really powerful energy.
With Saturn retrograding in the sky right now Goal Setting seems to be on a lot of people’s minds so I’m sharing with you my Goal Setting template.
As you start this exercise you may find some areas difficult to think about or experience some feelings, sensations or behaviours. Gently notice what you experience and ask yourself what you need.
There are many ways to work towards achieving what you desire. Sometimes through simply just talking it all through, sometimes through deep guided energy release exercises, sometimes through active imagination, sometimes through support and accountability and sometimes through creative work (to name a few). I am very quick at reading people, hearing you, and opening the space to what you need so just message me if you want some time together. Either for just one session or as a focus over the summer.
Once you learn how to use divination systems to their best advantage, you will appreciate the supportive role they can play in the cosmic dance that is your life.
Jasmine’s great aunt was a slavic fortune teller who practiced the art of Tasseomancy. Visiting her, and adopting the street cats for the summer, was what Jasmine looked forward to the most on her trips to Macedonia to visit her Baba as a child. Now Jasmine uses ancient methods of divination with applied synchronicity in her psychotherapy work to access the unconscious and develop greater reflection for the inner experience in a similar way as Carl Jung, the founder of analytical psychology.
Jasmine believes using Eastern approaches and methods of divination provide a more holistic viewpoint, reaching beyond the linear approaches and tunnel vision of the unassisted intellect to meaningful connection via (seemingly) random selection. At 13 years old Jasmine was given her first pack of Oracle Cards, Titania’s Fortune Cards, two decades later here is what she has in her collection…
Note, for a divination system to be a useful tool, it is important that the set of archetypes are balanced between light and shadow, as with the classical systems. This is so that they reflect the range of human experiences, including the darker tendencies. Also, it cannot be overemphasised that the archetypes are metaphorical, not literal.
Books
First let’s start with a couple of great books to read about divination and synchronicity. Also in the list will be a couple of books on the meanings of symbols but remember, as with dreams, start with what the symbol means to you first before seeing what other meanings are. The few symbol dictionaries we like are because they really do explore the symbol archetypally with their historical and cultural context.

The Runes
Here are our runes and a wonderful little book by Lisa Peschel. According to Norse Mythology runes originated from early germanic tribes and an ancient alphabet in Scandinavia called the Futhark. Norse magic accesses the unconscious in the same way as the tarot by reflecting on the questions asked and the choices made by your subconscious mind.
Casting runes is the way to read them. This is done by tossing a few, or all, onto your sacred chosen cloth or ground and interpreting them from the pattern they have fallen into. Before you start this practice, it’s best to just spend a couple of months casting one by letting own fall out your bag onto your sacred space and learning it as your rune for the day. Then move up to a three-rune cast. Once you have the hang of it you can go up to a nine-rune cast which is a magical number in Norse mythology. Another way of casting is counting the number of days from the last full moon and casting that many runes. The full moon is all about birth so when you cast your runes imagine the magic birthing out their womb pouch into the outer world.
You can buy pre-made runes online or you can make your own with wood. The carving or painting of the symbols is part of the magic. Making your own medicine bag out of fabric that has meaning to you is also something you can consider.
Dowsing with Pendulums
Pendulums promote healing with the process of Dowsing. Dowsing connects to invisible energies and unconscious thoughts and feelings. Here are some pendulums from our collection all charged on the dark moon for Crone energy. The Crone Goddess Archetype is the keeper of mysteries, psychic powers and soul magic.
To use your pendulum place the hoop at the top like a ring on your middle finger of your left hand. Focus your intention on the wolf pendant and then place your right hand, palm facing up, under the crystal and begin to calibrate it for your session.
To calibrate it ask the pendulum to tell you it’s direction for yes and then tell you it’s direction for no. The answers will be different to each other, usually one answer is a circle and one answer is a swinging from side to side. It could also be that one answer swings horizontally and one vertically, or that one circle is clockwise and the other is anti clockwise. Once you’ve understood your calibration, test it with some simple questions like ‘Is my name ~?’ ‘Do I live in ~?’. It may feel like you are unconsciously moving it but these inner movements are a reflection of your inner experience. Over time you will learn to trust your pendulum.
Once your pendulum is working you can begin asking more important questions either in the same way as asking the simple yes and no questions or you can try these other ways:
You can create your own divination board for it to land on by drawing out your own map with letters and numbers and seeing where it lands when you ask questions.
Laying out your tarot or oracle cards and asking your pendulum to lead you to the card that answers your questions.
Using the pendulums on your chakras. Pendulums can help identify imbalances in the chakra system and auric field. If you have done a reiki course or studied the chakra system you will have a sense of how to use your pendulum on your chakras. If you give reiki sessions you can use the pendulum on your client whilst they are laying down, remember to charge the pendulum with the client at the beginning of the session. A great book on the chakra system that Jasmine always recommends is Eastern Body, Western Mind by Anodea Judith. If you’re interested in Reiki courses Jasmine can recommend some and tell you about the one she did.

Wolf Mama (middle pendulum) £58 inc. p&p to UK. Outside UK varies.
Blue Goldstone (right pendulum) £54 inc. p&p to UK. Outside UK varies. Blue Goldstone Pendulum is made with Blue Goldstone, Wolf Medicine and Spirit Bird. Blue Goldstone is one of the best crystals for empaths and dealing with hypersensitivity. It is gently uplifting, builds energy and increases confidence. It also assists with communication and is associated with the Throat Chakra. It encourages acceptance of who we are and helps us no longer deny our truth. Spirit Bird brings us into connection with Spirit and is a wonderful channel for the higher realms to connect with us through the pendulum. It is also associated with higher knowledge, like the Wolf. Wolf Medicine is also medicine of the soul. The spirit of Wolf helps people heal internally, connect with their instincts and intuition.
All pendulums will be packaged in Nurse The Soul pouches, same as necklaces and bracelets.

The past few months have been magical with so many of you committing to the inner work and deep diving into understanding the personal and collective shadow.
For those of you who haven’t been able to make our May sessions, we’ve been studying intuition and the life-death-life cycle in Women Who Run With The Wolves. Through this process we’ve been connecting with our inner Baba Yaga and awakening to the great powers of inner seeing, inner hearing, inner sensing and inner knowing. Much of this has been done through sharing, writing, getting creative and even up cycling! This group has developed into a powerful sisterhood, there are only a few spaces left for those interested in joining.
In our Sunday group we’ve been reflecting on the myths of Persephone, The Handless Maiden and Inanna to understand our own shadow projections and why we have denied our own beauty and independence. Through sharing and reading ‘Rape and the Demon Lover’ we’ve been untangling the masculine and feminine qualities in our parents, lovers and within ourselves. Looking at the difference between rape and ravishment, we’ve been understanding the ways our own feminine has been psychically raped and how to say yes to ravishment for transformation.
In our Alchemical Peer Supervision group our ‘quaternity’ of budding alchemists have been on a four week depth study of mortificatio too, one of the seven main alchemical operations. Working through the death cycle across these groups, reflecting on what’s been going on in the collective over the past few months and turning inwards to my own personal process has given me a much richer understanding of the importance of this stage.
And now for new life as what follows mortificatio is always growth, rebirth and resurrection… as voted for in our New Nurse The Soul Chat Room, here are some new offerings taking place over the next month. Please do sign up as there is limited space.
Using creative tools, spirit animals and guided visualisation this workshop will address how to work towards a conscious relationship. We will spend time with the inner child, exploring abandonment wounds, intimacy fears and address how to develop the tools to self care when compulsive responses come up. This space will help you separate and understand what actually happens vs what we experience happening when our childhood wound is running the show. We will also focus on what is needed in order to feel safe being relationship.
Nurse The Soul is starting a new 8 week candlelit dream circle for understanding dreams using depth psychology, jungian analysis, sufi mysticism and shamanic practice. Those who follow their dreams are on a spiritual path and allowing their soul to enter the treasure chamber. We have created this circle to catch the richness of our dreams together. The space will be for encountering messages from the deeper source and revealing the unconscious essence. Weekly we will bring dreams, dreams that are untouched and that we are ready to unfold in the company of those attending. As a group we will use guided visualisation and creative work to bring the dream into the physical realm for the purpose of awakening.
This group is the love child of me and my time over the past couple of weeks watching White Lines on Netflix. It’s had mixed reviews. I personally loved it. Partly because of Ibiza and the music but I also thought the Oedipal subplot between Oriol and Conchita was portrayed incredibly well in a modern context. I’ve wanted to run a workshop on the Electra complex for a while and watching this inspired me to bring this together.
And if you’d like to join the Book Clubs there is still space. We meet at the following times weekly but you’re welcome to join 15 minutes before the starting time where I usually am drumming, giving card readings or just open for a chats and questions before we start.
Just click on the buttons or reply to this email if you’d like to join any of the groups. As always, I look forward to being your midwife as you birth your soul into this life.
