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!

Tomorrow starts Leo season - it’s time we get out of the feels and into the fun! . Cancer season is ending - a time when we are more internal, focused on emotions, foundations, family, healing and comfort. In Leo season it switches to a more extroverted vibe. It’s time to shine! Leo season has us collectively focusing more on self expression, creativity, romance, having fun & being social. . Mercury is still retrograding (I’m Cancer now) which keeps the energy lower then usual but we only have a week left of it! . What lights you up? What did you love doing as a kid? Make time this month for those things! 🎨: Alice DuBois via Pinterest (can’t find an Instagram to credit - pls share if anyone has it!)
I mentioned this in my stories but here’s another reminder to take it easy today and the next few days. Full moon eclipses can drain us, especially the empaths out there. Add in Mercury retrograde + the influence of Saturn and Pluto and we have a recipe for exhaustion and the “blahs”. The key is to allow this without feeling guilty about it! Don’t beat yourself up if you need to skip a workout, cancel plans, take a nap, etc. Listen to your body and emotions and nurture them rather then attack them. Things are shifting, energy is intense - eat the pasta, take the nap, and be in the feels if ya want to, damnit! . I did a far infrared sauna sesh, some shadow work (@tobemagnetic workshops), had some guilt free french fries and now I’ll be ignoring emails and focusing on my manifestation lists and the moon. . • Is this eclipse energizing you or draining you? • What are some of your go-to self care practices? • carbs or sweets? 😂
Lunar Eclipses through the Astrological Houses! Lunar Eclipses are a beginning of an end in the area of life that it falls in your chart. Here are some themes/areas/topics that will begin to change/shift/transition for Houses 7-12. . Eclipses have long influences- so it doesn’t all happen at once, it’s just the beginning of a transition period that can play out over the next few months. While endings and transitions can be stressful, the replacement of what is leaving will be better!
Lunar Eclipses through the Astrological Houses! Lunar Eclipses are a beginning of an end in the area of life that it falls in your chart. Here are some themes/areas/topics that will begin to change/shift/transition for Houses 1-6. .

While endings and transitions can be stressful, the replacement of what is leaving will be better!
Tomorrow is the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse (24 degrees of Capricorn). Lunar Eclipses are a beginning of an end in the area of life that it falls in your chart. Eclipses have long influences- so it doesn’t all happen at once, it’s just the beginning of a transition period that can play out over the next few months. While endings and transitions can be stressful, the replacement of what is leaving will be better! . We have a lot of planets in retrograde right now. So, these transitions likely will start shifting more quickly once the planets go direct. . Where does 24 degrees of Capricorn fall in your chart? (Reminder - each sign is 30 degrees long and you read charts counterclockwise.) this is where you’ll be able to make some big transitions and changes. Make your lists of things you’d like to release and then make a list of things you’d like to let in to replace those things. Burn them outside tomorrow under the full moon if you can! I will post what changes to expect in each house following this!
Mercury will be stirring things up by being in retrograde tomorrow, 7/7, through 7/31! More on the specific energy to come - but for now a reminder of the Do’s 👍& Don’ts 👎
It’s time to shift our shit! Eclipses bring change and a New Moon Solar Eclipse brings new beginnings and new energy so it is a fabulous manifesting time! In Cancer, this eclipse has themes of our emotional foundation. Are we going to let our conditioning/upbringing keep us in the same limiting thought patterns or are we going to break free of that routine and carve our own path?? . Things like Eclipses and Saturn Return are when the nudges come for us to get on the path the universe wants for us. How gentle or forceful the nudge is depends on how off track we are with our true calling/talents. Trust the shifts that happen this month (or had began to happen the past couple of weeks) bc it’s for a reason. . As always with New Moons and EXTRA IMPORTANT during an Eclipse - make your manifestation lists! Maybe add a few about emotions in there + themes from whatever house the eclipse is falling in for you. It’s a powerful time! . Always, always follow what lights you up!! There’s a reason you’re curious about and good at those things 🌙💛
Tomorrow is a New Moon Solar Eclipse in Cancer at 10 degrees. What house does 10 degrees of Cancer fall in for you? This is where the new beginnings or new shifts will be happening for you over the next couple of months! . Eclipses push forward what is meant to happen so if you have any hesitation about entering a new chapter around this time, don’t. It’s meant to be. It’s pushing you forward on your journey. . Here are Houses 7-13 and what each of their themes are.

Many people are asking when this vibe will be shifting. My answer is to just hold out until the eclipses! Eclipses come with drastic shifts. Eclipses are so powerful that they aren’t just felt on the exact day -they set off 6months of energy and we can begin feeling the energy already. The energies and shifts they will cause are already starting to show up for some! Many people are moving, starting new jobs, etc around this time. Just know that eclipses push forward what is meant to happen so if you have any hesitation about entering a new chapter around this time, don’t. It’s meant to be. It’s pushing you forward on your journey. . Mercury going retrograde in between these is a blessing in my book. In Leo, it will be much easier then what we experienced with Mercury retro in Pisces earlier this year. It will provide some much needed processing time to get clear on what’s changing for us. . I’ll post more on each of these separately but wanted to get out these dates and degrees for everyone ahead of time. It’s super important to find what part of your charts these are happening in to see what area of life is shifting. . Tips : • Grab your charts (if you haven’t worked with me then go to astrotheme.com and get a free birth chart - must know exact time of birth) • each sign is 30 degrees long so think of this as 30 little inches. • birth charts go COUNTERCLOCKWISE so make sure you’re counting your 30 from left to right. • Mercury retro goes backwards so you’ll be counting right to left for this one to find where it’s effecting you. • Find the degree and see what house that is in for you (houses are different sizes usually and rarely are 30 degrees long so that’s why it’s important to know the exact degrees). • google from there! If 10 degrees of Cancer is in your personal 6th house then you’d google “solar eclipse in the 6th house” and you’ll get way more insight for how it can impact you personally!
The Summer Solstice is Tomorrow! What’s the significance Astrologically? It’s basically just the start to Cancer Season. The Astro calendar is split into quarters, the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra & Capricorn) and each Solstice/Equinox is the beginning of a new season. . Think of this energy like a special New Moon energy. It’s a new season, new start & fresh energy! Cancer season will switch us from the busy/curious/logical Gemini vibes of last month into a more deep vibe. We will be focusing more on and seeking out what brings us comfort. How can you express your needs better? What brings you inner peace? . It will also bring with it some much needed clarity (shouts, THANK THE LAWD!) because Neptune the planet of our subconscious / dreams / illusions / addictions / meditation / therapy / alone time - will begin its retrograde season lasting 5months. Neptune rules Pisces and the 12th House. While retrograde, it can clear out some illusions, dreams and false realities that have clouded our vision. But be prepared - it can show the source of the pain we try to escape. Spiritual self development time!!! . Happy start to summer, y’all! Hopefully Chicago will get some dang sunshine to enjoy the long day!
The next few days reminds me of the southern saying “oh darlin, bless your heart” the nice way of saying “you’re an idiot”. The difference is we won’t have the energy to put a nice spin on things or on our delivery. Tomorrow this energy will peak. We should prepare bc we are likely to be revealing our most irritable, unlikable parts of ourselves. . Mars and Mercury (foot in mouth, verbal vomit) meet in the sky in Cancer (emotions) and oppose Saturn and Pluto (tension, dark depths) in Capricorn. . Basically, everyone is gonna be dicks, y’all - and it’s likely stirring from feeling that emotional needs are not being met. Everyone could be acting like babies that need attention. Whether that’s something we’re exposing only to ourself or if we let it get the best of us and expose it to others - either way, it’ll surface the dark, deep parts of us that we don’t like. Could be obsessive tendencies, rudeness, the “fuck-its” - just know that no one will have much empathy or patience over the next couple of days to make it better for us bc they’ll be feeling it too. . SO - Non judgement is key!! Show yourself some love, don’t beat yourself up, and if someone’s a dick... smile and say in your head “awww bless your heart 🙄”.
