Mainly Moonology with Yasmin Boland

This week on the Mainly Moonology podcast, we’re exploring the rare and symbolic Blue Full Moon and why it may be arriving at exactly the right time to release emotional baggage, old hurts and lingering energetic ties.

This Blue Full Moon is also a Micro Moon, making it feel a little more distant, reflective and quietly powerful. Under astrology that asks us to do some real inner work, we explore a deeper understanding of forgiveness through an ancient Aramaic word from the Lord’s Prayer: WASHBOQLIN.

Rather than forgiveness meaning “what happened was okay,” this ancient teaching points us toward something far more liberating: release.

In this episode, Yasmin explores:
🌕 What makes a Blue Full Moon special and why this one feels deeply symbolic
🌕 The astrology of the week, including Venus square Saturn, Mercury in Cancer, Sun sextile Saturn and Mercury square Saturn
🌕 Why Venus square Saturn may bring emotional truths, disappointment or relationship lessons into focus
🌕 The meaning of the ancient Aramaic word WASHBOQLIN and how it reframes forgiveness
🌕 Why forgiveness can be about releasing the energetic debt rather than excusing behaviour
🌕 A karmic perspective on emotional patterns, repetition and release
🌕 How to stop giving tomorrow’s energy to yesterday’s wound
🌕 A simple Blue Full Moon forgiveness ritual using water, intention and release
🌕 A powerful Full Moon affirmation:
I release the debt. I keep the lesson. I call my energy home.

If you’ve been carrying grief, resentment, disappointment or emotional heaviness, this episode offers a grounded spiritual practice for moving forward under the light of this rare Blue Full Moon.

This week's astrology is genuinely intense, and in this episode I'll walk you through exactly why you might be feeling it.

I cover five distinct cosmic energies shaping the week of May 22-28 and gives you a clear framework for moving through them rather than getting stuck in them.

If things already feel a bit wobbly or like something old has quietly resurfaced, this episode will help you make sense of it.

IN THIS EPISODE:
• Venus square Neptune (May 22): why things feel blurry or deflating right now, and why your perception may be temporarily distorted
• Sun conjunct Uranus (May 22): the sudden shifts and wake-up calls arriving this week, and how to stay curious rather than catastrophising
• Mercury sextile Saturn (May 22): the grounding, stabilising energy that helps you slow down, think clearly, and have the conversations that matter
• Mars square Pluto (May 26): why old anger and deep fears may surface this week, and how to feel them without being consumed by them
• Sun trine Pluto (end of week): the breakthrough energy that closes out the week and what it reveals about how far you have actually come

KEY TAKEAWAYS:
• Feelings of deflation or confusion this week are not the full picture. Neptune distorts perception temporarily, so hold off on big decisions until the fog lifts
• When something shifts suddenly, stay curious. Ask yourself what this might be making space for
• Under a waxing moon, the invitation is always forward motion. If old feelings surface under Mars square Pluto, notice them, name them, and keep moving
• The wobble is not the end. This week's astrology ends in a real breakthrough
• You may find yourself handling something this week that would have floored you a year ago. That is Pluto showing you your own growth

This week, I'll also be in the USA for my once-a-year weekend retreat under the Blue Full Moon, May 29-31 at the Omega Institute, Rhinebeck, New York. Spaces are very limited: eomega.org, search Blue Moon Forgiveness.

The astrology has been intense lately and many people have genuinely been feeling it. Pressure. Exhaustion. Emotional overload. In this episode, I’m talking about why the energy is finally beginning to shift and why this week’s New Moon in Taurus could be one of the most important manifesting moments of the year.

We’ll explore the healing and abundance energies around this lunation, including its powerful connection to the fixed star Algol and the Divine Feminine wisdom of Saraswati. I’ll also walk you through the major astrological shifts happening this week, including Mercury meeting Uranus, Mars changing signs, Venus softening hearts in Cancer, and the intuitive magic of Mercury sextile Neptune.

Plus I’ll share practical exercises to help you reset your nervous system, reconnect with your future self, and consciously step into a brand new chapter.

Welcome to another week of cosmic weather! This week brings some highly intense astrological clashes, including fiery Mars squaring Jupiter and an intense Mercury square to Pluto, which might perfectly explain why tempers seem to be flaring all around you. Join Yasmin Boland from the beautiful shores of Lake Geneva as she breaks down exactly what these potent transits mean and how to navigate the tension with grace. You’ll learn why Pluto going retrograde is actually your cosmic permission to detox your life, and how the current waning Moon cycle is the perfect time to finally let go of what’s no longer serving you.

What You’ll Learn
Mercury Enters Taurus: Why the incendiary communications of the past few weeks are finally starting to chill out.

Mars Square Jupiter: How to handle Tuesday’s amplified energy, avoid unnecessary "argy-bargy," and keep the peace when tempers flare.

Mercury Square Pluto: Why adopting a "Madam Secretary" win-win negotiation mindset is your best bet for defusing manipulative or intense situations.

Pluto Retrograde in Aquarius: Yasmin explains why Pluto is the "plumber of the zodiac" and how this retrograde is your second chance to detox your life and clear out the dead wood.

Waning Moon Guidance: Why right now is the ideal time to let the drama fall away, drop old arguments, and surrender what you can't control.

A Positive Upswing: A look ahead to May 11th, when the Sun sextiles Jupiter, bringing a much-needed wave of lighter, positive energy.
