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!

Mars and Venus meet in the sky today... it’s mating season! Jk jk but kind of? Mars rules action and drive- Venus rules creativity, love, social, and all the lovely scrumptious things in life. Together they equal PASSION. Everyone will be feeling charismatic, social, a creative surge and the urge to partner up if single. . Since it is happening in Virgo this creative/romantic boost will have more of a focus to it. In romance, Virgo is more picky, earthy, practical, selfless and realistic rather then a hopeless romantic vibe. While Mars and Venus together is super flirty, sexy and passionate - the Virgo vibes are taming it towards more of an urge for commitment rather then a one and done. With creativity, it can add the structure necessary to develop our ideas into tangible results. . Take advantage of this energy and get out there today! Be social, be charming, do something creative or surround yourself in a creative activity! Maybe add in some Virgo flair by getting outside in nature?
Virgo season begins Friday (Sun enters Virgo) but it has already kicked off with a “get shit done” bang! This is bc Mars & Venus have already moved into Virgo from Leo (& Mercury will be there soon!). Leo season was a time filled w/ inspiration & self expression but now it’s time to get practical & make those things a reality! . Virgos are the doers & they do so selflessly. Great communicators, have their shit together (if not, seem to), don’t skip steps like most of us & don’t have to be pushed to work hard. They’re talented in seeing the potential in things & people & want to help perfect them. Though always from a sincere place, it can come off critical if the receiving end isn’t ready to hear the feedback. They always put effort to better themselves as well - which equally can come w/ being self critical. . The strive for perfection can almost stop Virgo in their tracks. I call this the “Procrastinating Perfectionist” (a therapy term- one of the many self improvement tools Virgos love). This happens when we put a task off until we can do it perfectly to completion bc the thought of doing it half assed can cause anxiety. “I’ll wait until I have an uninterrupted x amount of hrs, have energy & feel motivated”. The biggest message I give during readings about having a lot of Virgo &/or 6th house placements - “consistency over perfection”. Find something you can & want to stick w/ rather then trying to do all.of.the.things. Instead of “I wake up, journal, do affirmations, go run x miles, make a smoothie, etc...” try something small like “I’m going to have a cup of tea every morning at the same time or a short 5min meditation to center & have some me time - anything more is a bonus!”. Virgos need consistency in order to feel in flow. If they let their life/schedule get chaotic - it gets overwhelming, the self critic comes out onto themselves & others, procrastination & a tendency towards latching on to the neg. . Virgos (& people w/ many planets in Virgo or the 6th house) we need you! You’re so giving of your time, effort & love. You’re working harder then the majority - give yourself some much needed credit & try to slow down & look at all you have achieved!! 💛
Guess what y’all? As of today, Jupiter is direct & Uranus is retrograde! Finally some change!I’ve been MIA so we have a lot to cover... 🎨: @marcjohnsart . When Jupiter goes retrograde, it doesn’t cause any trouble, but it does slow down new opportunities so we can get refocused on what we have already achieved and go inward to appreciate these things. Now that it is back in action it’s time to pursue & receive new opportunities, expand, manifest abundance, & be more optimistic. We’ve been in that edge of our seats vibe and confused for a while - this will shift things big time!! Where does 14° Sagittarius fall in your chart? This is where things are particularly about to get really good! . Uranus is one of the planets that actually is a relief when it goes retrograde. It’s the planet of sudden change, excitement, disruption - it’s unpredictable. What house does 6° of Taurus fall for you? This area will get a breather and feel more peaceful rather then anxious and need to break free vibes it was having. Taurus rules money, love, self worth, security - these are also some overarching themes that will have less chaos and get a breather 🙏🏻 . The moon, which is our emotional pulse, is a bit in the womp womp feels today as it goes over the heavy vibes of Saturn, Pluto & the South Node. The moon moves very quickly though (changes signs every two-ish days) so if you happen to feel this, it won’t last long - it’s just wanting us to put in the work towards our emotional health if we haven’t been. I mention this quick vibe only to reassure you if you feel a little blah today. It’s just one little more hump before the long lasting greatness of the Jupiter and Uranus shifts!
The two sweethearts in the sky, Venus and Jupiter, are in a trine today. They are both so lovely when they trine solo but the combo of them together... we can’t help but have a social and happy day! . Venus is the planet of love, money, creativity, beauty, comforts, balance, social activities... all the lovely, fancy, receptive things. Jupiter is the planet of optimism, openness, learning, expansion, luck, wisdom, adventure... everything that expands us. Together, plan on a highly romantic or highly creative day, a money day, beneficial & fun social interactions, and an overall charming feeling. We should all feel like showing more love today but just keep in mind that the ability/ease in showing love & affection is a sign of our own self love & self worth (truth bomb). . One caution with these two is the whole idea of “too much of a good thing can be a bad thing.” We could be feeling too optimistic and not be able to see through our rose tinted glasses and only seeking bliss so we end up being lazy with things that need to get done. Also the chances of OVERINDULGENCE are high. It’s like the serotonin is taking over and we can’t help ourselves!! So be mindful of the food and booze intake, the ease of the credit card swipe, the inability to see red flags in love, and if you’re like me... wanting to adopt ALL OF THE DOGS. . Have a good day! 💛
#Repost @chaarg - the podcast I did with @etavierne came out on a new moon / my bday! What a treat! Have y’all heard of Human Design yet?? I talk entirely too long about it in this podcast - but still check it out (while trying not to “check-out” during it 😂! ・・・ NEW PODCAST! 💫⭐️🔮 .

In this episode, Lauren walks us through human design.... ++ gives Elisabeth a reading! 💌 . Tune in — #TheCHAARGPodcast! #inchaarg
There’s a new moon in Leo late tonight and exactly one hour later, Mercury goes direct! NEW ENERGY, YA’LL - can I get a Hale yasss?! . New moons are always a time for getting clear and manifesting. In Leo, the over all vibe is a creative and fun energy. Let your inner child out to play! Who do you have the most fun with? What do you still love doing that you used to do as a kid? What would you pursue if you didn’t give a F about what anyone else thought/said??? Leo’s are all about self expression so let that joy flow and don’t hold back. . Even though Mercury will be going direct, keep in mind that it’s not so much back in flow yet - it’s at a stand still as it pivots directions and we can feel most out of it around the days that it is shifting. In a couple of days it’ll be all systems go for communication and logic. And it gets better and better throughout the month with Jupiter going direct, a full moon and ANOTHER new moon (two new moons in one month is rare and called a Blue Moon “once in a blue moon”). . It’s also my birthday tomorrow - woot! A new moon on your bday is great luck (I’m counting it since it’s just 2hrs before 😉) so You can catch me double manifesting tonight ✌🏼🌙. . New moon falls at 8° of Leo. That will be the area of your chart where 30 days of new energy will begin. Don’t forget to write your manifestation lists tonight 💫
Sun (ego) squares Uranus (unpredictable) today. This is an exciting energy that can come with some sudden changes. The issue is that most of us find sudden changes unnerving. . Today we may notice some people more reactive and on edge bc of the threat to the ego this is causing. Also, Mercury is almost at a stand still, getting ready to go direct in a couple of days, so logic is a bit unreliable at the same time. If you can, avoid conflicts today and stay calm and flexible. . Use the energy to break free of certain things you’ve been trying to let go of (bad habits, insecurities, relationships that aren’t uplifting) that are negatively impacting your ability to shine (Sun). . Most of all, enjoy the ride! We’ve been needing some exciting energy to shift some of the stagnant vibes. Much more exciting changes to come in August!
Important dates! The energy lately has been anticipatory. It’s like we can feel something coming but nothing really is happening. Try to enjoy this calm! . The eclipses brought big shifts but with all of this retrograde energy (Mercury / Jupiter / Saturn / Pluto) it can feel like limbo. Have y’all been overthinking, anxious, want to jump out of your skin buuuut also have no energy at the same time? It’s normal. . The retrograde energy is a much needed time to go inward and get grounded before everything speeds up. These dates are when things will start to ramp up. We will start to see things manifest and take shape finally. . I will post about each one individually with more details but for now just wanted to say - embrace this time bc... it’s 👏🏻 about 👏🏻 to 👏🏻 go 👏🏻 down.

Prettiest place I’ve done Astrology readings... swoon. Cosmetics by the Cosmos was such a fun Astrology themed night! Based on people’s birth charts that I made, makeup artists picked color pallets to match their vibe! . A big thank you to Knoll Chicago and Corporate Concepts for having me for this event and for being so lovely! Can I move in?? K, thx!
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!
