Mysteries of the Dark Moon: The Secret Lunar Phase

In this special episode, I’m taking you back to a conversation I recorded a few years ago with one of the astrologers I admire most, Demetra George.

My fascination with the Dark Moon didn’t come from astrology school. It grew slowly over time, through being around magical women, healers, and seekers who understood that the quietest phase of the lunar cycle carries extraordinary power.

Everything truly crystallised when I read Demetra’s book Mysteries of the Dark Moon. I became determined to speak with her, and after a little persistence and quite a few emails, she finally agreed.

What followed was one of the most memorable conversations I’ve ever had about lunar wisdom, goddess traditions, and the ancient roots of astrology.

In this episode, we explore why the Dark Moon isn’t something to fear, what ancient astrologers really taught about feminine spirituality, and how this hidden phase of the Moon can be used for healing, insight, and renewal.

This conversation also feels especially timely as I prepare for the release of my Dark Moon Oracle Cards, now available for pre order.

In this episode, we cover:

• How Demetra George first became fascinated with goddess mythology and astrology.
• Why the Dark Moon represents withdrawal, regeneration, and the sacred pause before a new cycle.
• The inspiration behind Mysteries of the Dark Moon.
• The forgotten ancient name of the Third House as the House of the Goddess.
• How early astrological texts linked the Moon with women’s rites, dreams, and divination.
• Demetra’s interpretations of Medusa and Lilith and reclaiming feminine power.
• The symbolism of serpents, Kundalini energy, and feminine wisdom.
• How ancient priestesses used ritual, sexuality, and lunar timing for healing and regeneration.
• Why goddess traditions may not have vanished, but simply entered a hidden phase.
• Simple Dark Moon rituals you can try at home.
• Clearing your space, unplugging from stimulation, and inviting dreams and insight.
• How astrology can act as a form of remembrance rather than prediction.
