Taking the eye rolls out of Astrology

My goal is to bring a fresh, less "woo-woo" twist to the insanely detailed science of Astrology by providing fun, relatable content that anyone can understand and implement into their life (check out my Insta for some daily-ish inspiration). I do a variety of birth chart readings that are broken down under the "Services" section. Learning about your birth chart, or the "blue print of your life" as I like to call it, can slap you across the face with a heavy dose of self awareness and can be very therapeutic.

Look around and enjoy!

K, so although this is a personal post, it is related to Human Design and Astrology! . Who would have thought I’d be a cat lady?! I was looking to adopt a second dog for almost a year and nothing fell into place. Cut to a group reading that I did at a home with two Bengal cats. I love cats but am very allergic so it was never even an option for me... until I did my normal “Must touch kitties! oh shoot! Must find bathroom to wash hands immediately!” dance at @tiff_flynn ‘s and she said the magic words - “they’re hypoallergenic”. Within a week I found a Bengal. . This is what living your #humandesign looks like everyone! I am a Manifesting Generator with Sacral Authority - I must RESPOND to things, not initiate. I responded to this gut “hell yes” and it was seamless and fast (how things operate when living your design). . His birth chart sealed the deal for me - he’s a Pisces Moon / Sun, Mercury & Venus in Cancer / Mars in Leo. Regardless of what everyone warned me about Bengals, I knew he would be so sweet, snuggly and way more chill then a normal Bengal. . His name is Jasper bc not only does he look just like a Jasper stone (obvs a woo-woo crystal name... I’m an Astrologer after all) but Jasper means “nurturer” and that is the epitome of his birth chart. I knew it was right, I couldn’t explain it and I trusted my gut (Sacral) and I couldn’t be happier! And y’all, Rudy, my not so friendly pup is LOVING him too! ✨Universe ✨
Okay guys, it’s time to shine the light on the most unpopular sign, Scorpio. My job is to try and debunk this by showing you the high & low vibe. If you are one of those haters of Scorpio out there - you likely encountered some low vibe Scorps. The good news is that every sign’s low vibe can be matured into their high vibe!! . Guess what? If you have a lot of 8th house planets in your chart, you’re very Scorpionic! Also, everyone has Scorpio ruling part of their chart - we have all of the signs as part of us. . Mercury and Venus are currently in Scorpio which is bringing out Scorpio vibes collectively. Tap into your intuition, empathy and dive deep!!
Full moons have an opposing nature. The sun in Libra has us harmoniously giving to others but the moon in Aries is asking us to be bold and go after what we want independently of what others think. Aries full moon card pull : Pattern of Balance: Creative activity integrated with vital life-energy, active expression of soul fire. . Patterns of imbalance : over emphasis of Will forces or creative fervor: burned out or workaholic syndrome.
The Full Moon tomorrow is at 20° Aries. Aries is the 1st sign and represents SELF. This full moon is showing us that we have others handled (sun in Libra) but it’s time we make sure we are stepping into our own individual power. . What are some hopes & dreams you’ve let go of in the past? Or signs/advice that keeps coming in that you reject out of fear of unworthiness? This is the month you try again! It’s time to lead, be independent, be bold, take risks and trust your gut. . The square to Pluto can cause fear / doubt to kick in but don’t listen to it - instead transform the fear into action. Light that fire under yer ass 🔥. . As always on the full moon - write a list of things you’d like to release over the next 30 days. Then, a list of things you’d like to come into your life in its place. Burn each of them and release it (safely and preferably outside 😉)
Come come on the kick drum. Tickets already 1/2 gone!
The Sun squares Saturn today causing some pessimistic vibes. Be too high vibe to let it effect you and avoid the grumpies! . This transit can cause the feeling of being weighed down or restricted. Think work, bosses needs, the hum-drum parts of our to-do lists. Focus on your responsibilities - this isn’t a time to avoid and break free. Your light hearted-ness will return soon!
Pluto going direct vibes! Pluto rules over Scorpio - this helps understand its qualities. Scorpios in high vibe are empathetic, resilient, ride-or-die, protective, bullshit detectors, deep, intuitive, extremely smart, and natural healers. Low vibe Scorpio’s can be manipulative, obsessive, jealous, deceptive, compulsive, possessive and use intuition to hit you where it hurts in order to destroy. . Pluto can bring out either side in us in the area that it is transiting in our charts. Since April it’s been retrograding making us go inward around these themes of resiliency and transformation and today it starts the slow move forward. The days when slower moving planets change directions are extra wonky and bc of Pluto’s intense nature - “hello darkness my old friend”. Face the darkness, compulsions, the demons within & the shame creeping up in the area of life Pluto is moving through in your chart (20 degrees Capricorn) and transform them to high vibe transformation, healing and intuition! . Example - Pluto moving direct in 2nd house of money, security, self love - have you been spending money compulsively as a means to feel worthy? (Just me?? 😂)
New moon in Libra vibes, y’all! New moon is at 5 degrees libra - check where this lands in your charts to see what house is getting new beginnings and opportunities over the next month ✨🌙. . Libra represents relationships, balance, harmony, peace, being social - this new moon is asking us to find connections, of all kinds, that feel equal ⚖️. Libra is ruled by Venus, the planet of love. The key to whether we attract the high vibe quality of Libra in our lives is based on our internal self respect/self love. If you find yourself attracting less then balanced relationships - check in with that self worth and shift that shit! 💕
The moment we have all needed is here! Saturn has gone direct. Saturn rules responsibility, structure, hard work, effort, & persistence. I often refer to it as the grumpy old man in our charts shaking his finger “put in the work, do it right, life isn’t easy.” Le sigh. Wherever Saturn is transiting in our charts (Saturn takes 2.5yrs to transit a full sign / 30°) is where we get hit with responsibility and the need for diligent work. When retrograde, the energy gets forced inward and all of this hard work goes towards things we have already established. . The past 5mo has ben about re-working what we already had on our plates, a time for review to make sure we didn’t cut corners, and to get clear on / get set up for new initiatives. . It can be frustrating to feel like you are working your ass off on things you thought were already solid. Today, that changes. Although there’s no getting around the effort that Saturn forces in the area of life its transiting in our chart - at least it will be towards NEW initiatives. . The big Eclipses in July set off 6mo of change in the area they hit in our charts BUT during them we had Mercury, Jupiter & Saturn retrograde. When Jupiter went direct our optimism turned on - we at least could feel and hope for new and have been presented with new opportunities. We just needed Saturn to wake up so that we can now WORK those new opportunities and finally move forward! . Saturn is going direct at 13° Capricorn. 🎨 : @darngooood
Time to feel, heal and be clear on what you want out of relationships! Libra is the sign that rules “other” aka partnerships. Libra’s symbol is the scale - is, or has there been in past relationships, an imbalance of the scale? Are you feeling like the only one giving? Take a look and see if it’s that you had a pattern of giving too much and the other person got so used to it that they do not feel the need to give? Sometimes a convo (Mercury) about what we need in love (Venus) can even out the scales! ⚖️
The @thefloweressencesdeck is perfect for the duality of Full Moons (see previous post for my breakdown). Each card has Patterns of Balance and Patterns of Imbalance. Much like you can possess either the high vibe or low vibe of each sign and planet in Astrology. . The one I pulled for this Full Moon in Pisces reads : PATTERNS OF BALANCE “perseverance, confidence; faith to continue despite apparent setbacks” PATTERNS OF IMBALANCE “discouragement after setback, doubt; depression due to a sense of failure” . Don’t let setbacks derail you! This emotional full moon may have ya wanting to linger in the imbalance but Y’ALL GOT THIS! (Ps - my fave flower shop has affordable crystals if you’re in the market @anewleafchicago or just go there to swoon bc it’s a beautiful place!)
Nothing like a Full Moon on Friday the 13th, ay? This is the Harvest Moon - not only one of my all time favorite songs but it also means it’s almost the Fall Equinox and Fall is the best season am-I-right? . Full Moons are when the Sun & the Moon are directly opposite of each other in the sky. This brings two different signs (two different areas of our charts) into play. Emotions and instincts are at their peak during Full Moons and they like to highlight what needs to be released or balanced out in our lives. This one falls in Pisces. . Pisces is the sign that rules over our subconscious, higher mind, belief systems, habits, alone time, contemplation... Each sign has its good and bad and your expression of them is up to you, your free will and maturity levels. Pisces at its best is highly intuitive, reflective, great at listening, wise/old soul, empathetic and creative. At its worst it can lead to numbing out, bad habits, laziness and seclusion. Everyone has Pisces in their chart regardless of if you have planets there - see what house/area of life it falls in your birth chart and do a pulse check of whether you are living the high vibe or the low vibe of Pisces there. . There are some challenging aspects in the sky with Mars, Jupiter and Neptune (ruler of Pisces). This can bring out some moodiness and sass from Mars, overindulgence from Jupiter and confusion/delusion from Neptune. Basically everyone will be feeling either literally or figuratively drunk AF, y’all! Flip that script and tap into this highly intuitive full moon while still paying attention to reality so you don’t get swept away. Release, release, release! . The Full Moon is at 21° of Pisces. For all my peeps with a personal chart from a reading with me - see where this falls for you then check out your guide cards I made you that describe the houses to get a glimpse of what area of life needs some reflection and balancing!
