Episode Details

Hello friends, and welcome to Episode 4 of Darkness and Light.

In this episode, we continue our journey through Taurus season, as the waning Moon leads us toward the Taurus Dark Moon.

Guided by Aphrodite, we explore the beauty and sensuality of the physical world, and the deep wisdom of spirit expressed through form. We also turn to the shadow side of this energy — attachment, accumulation, and the fear of “not enough” — and how the waning Moon invites us to release, rebalance, and return to flow.

I hope you enjoy the show.

Blessings,
Wendy
