Today’s moon (October 23, 2025) is in the Waxing Gibbous phase, approaching full moon on the 29th of October.

🌔 Waxing Gibbous Energy (October 23)

Lunar Phase Theme:
This is a time of refinement, building momentum, and adjusting course. The energy is growing—literally and metaphorically—so it’s a powerful period for:

Fine-tuning your goals

Making practical changes

Gathering resources

Strengthening commitment

Energy to embody today:

1. Discernment & Patience
The waxing gibbous encourages you to pause and reflect on what’s working and what’s not. Embody a discerning mindset—what needs a tweak? What ideas or actions can be pruned to ensure a better harvest?

2. Determined Action
Keep taking consistent steps toward your intention. This is a time to follow through, even if things feel slow. Trust that growth is happening beneath the surface.

3. Gratitude for Progress
Celebrate how far you’ve come since the new moon (just over a week ago). This energy supports recognizing your effort and continuing with grace, not force.

🔮 Embodiment Practice Suggestions:

Journal Prompt: What progress have I made since the last new moon? What still needs adjustment?

Movement: Gentle flow yoga or a nature walk—something that lets you feel into the momentum without burning out.

Ritual: Light a white candle and speak aloud what you're committed to refining this week.

So after the new moon, we move into the waxing crescent phase. Today's energy is typically about planting those seeds of intention you set today and starting to nurture them gently. It’s a phase of beginnings, but in a very tender, patient way, like the first little sprout popping out of the soil.

The energy you might want to embody is that of gentle nurturing and patience. Think of it as taking those first small steps towards whatever intention you set today, and just giving yourself a bit of grace and curiosity as you do it.

In other words, we are stepping into a vibe that is about embracing the tiny beginnings and just allowing yourself to gradually flow back into sync with those lunar cycles.

Over the years, I’ve had my fair share of frustrating conversations with doctors, particularly those who refuse to acknowledge the roots of their own profession.

I remember one exchange with a surgeon who, upon hearing what I do, scoffed and said, “I work with science-based medicine.”
I simply asked, “Where do you think the science came from?”
The look on his face shifted, not because I was rude or aggressive, but because I challenged him to think outside the sterile walls of the lab. There weren’t always beakers, pills, and peer-reviewed journals. Medicine didn’t begin in a hospital, it began in the earth, in the forests, in the hands of healers guided by generations of observation, intuition, and wisdom. Isn't that what science is?

Another time, my neurologist, a man of many credentials and one very linear mindset, began to shift his view when I started quoting some of his own favorite scientific references. I think in that moment, he realized I wasn’t just a passive patient. I wanted to understand. I needed to know. And maybe, just maybe, he softened to the idea that healing is more than a prescription pad.

The truth is this: modern medicine has its roots in tradition. Was it when people like Imhotep passed down Egyptian principles and the philosophers like Hippocrates contunied to study via asklepieion of Kos, a healing temple dedicated to the god Asclepius, that science and healing began to formally converge?

Or was it some other ancient convergence?

We owe a lot to those who started asking the right questions long before there were labs to answer them.

Let’s stop pretending tradition and science are enemies. They’re chapters of the same story.

Sometimes it’s hard to know how to respond. We’re often told to “be the bigger person.” But what about when you’re being bullied or trolled online for no clear reason—especially by someone who thrives on stirring the pot?

You’re left with a choice: stay silent and let them have their moment, or speak up and defend yourself?

I used to keep quiet. I let people walk all over me. But something shifted. I realised staying silent doesn't always serve you. We all have the right to speak our truth and stand up for ourselves. Bullies, trolls, and keyboard warriors don’t get a free pass anymore.

To the trolls out there—I genuinely hope you find happiness.

If it helps, here is a picture of me with my cat.
