The Gemini moon, Pisces wisdom, and creating unity I fell in love with writing in third grade. Polly Whitcomb, my teacher at The Aspen Community School, initiated me through poetry. I remember taking my first baby steps via William Blake’s The Tyger. Polly instructed...
A solar eclipse, Aquarius new moon, Pisces season, and Venus returning to the evening sky I’m writing a book. But lately, I’m not really writing a book. I’ve been lagging, focusing on other seemingly important, must-do stuff. I only have three chapters left. It seems...
Saturn enters Aries, stop crossing your own boundaries I used to live with a psychopath. A master at gaslighting, he could effortlessly get me so spun around in my thoughts that I didn’t know which way was up. Compulsively lying to me, I’d somehow end up apologizing...
Aquarian Imbolc, Uranus turning direct, and the wisdom of winter stillness I hadn’t checked out Pinterest in a while, so I innocently, naively, opened the app and was immediately sucked down a time-warping wormhole. I’m just now popping my head up to the surface, like...

The Cancer full moon reminds us that sensitivity is a strength, not a flaw “You’re too sensitive!” I’ve heard that refrain over and over my entire life, skipping like a scratched record. Next comes, “You’re so emotional,” packed with accusation. That’s followed...
Moon Mondays! I’ve been a total bah humbug about Christmas for years. Honestly, I could care less about it. I’m not religious, and for a long time, the holidays just brought stress. Sadness. A knot in my chest. Not joy. So this week, as Venus moves into Capricorn on...
