🪞 My Books are Open for April 🪞
Many of the bigger shifts in our life come unbidden, by the grace of spirit.
It is in fully living out the details of our lives where the magic is in our hands.
My astrology consults help you with these transformational details.
My work constellates the seemingly tiny points of meaning in your life and names them, gives words to the omens and feelings inside of you.
My transformation comes from helping you attune to the richness of what is already there, just waiting to be uncovered or appreciated as it is.
Bigger shifts will come when they will: we court true change when we are intimate with the details of our lives. In that showing up, moment by moment, is our agency, our turning towards our change. So much of magic is a way of seeing, of noticing the mystery already always there.
A client once described our time together as “like drinking your favorite tea or coffee just the way you like it out of your favorite mug”. I believe true transformation happens when such an ease is cultivated.
I want my readings to feel comfortable, lived-in because leaning into your exact place in the world at this particular moment should be a source of relief. We can’t control the ebbs and flows of fortune but we can surf their waves, which means trusting exactly where we are.
Let me help you trust your unfolding cycles <3
On Aries II
Tomorrow, we have our final eclipse for the season at 19º Aries, the second decan of the Ram.
Decans tell us that each ten-degree section of a sign comes with its own distinct stories, archetypes, images and feel. Someone born with a placement in the first ten degrees of Aries will experience this cardinal fire sign differently than those with placements in the second or final ten degrees.
I wrote this piece on Aries II in 2021 (!!), but updated it with the deeper knowledge I have attained since then. This essay is for anyone who wishes to understand their placements found from 10º-20º of Aries but can also illuminate themes that may be unfolding in your life around this eclipse season. Though the final eclipse of the season occurs tomorrow, it may take a few weeks for the full ramifications of the event to arise or sink in. Keep your eyes peeled and may this writing make your eclipse season a bit more lucid, meaningful.

In The Three Body Problem, a science fiction novel by Cixin Liu, the eponymous dilemma at the heart of the story takes many forms: a physics problem, the solution to an alien race’s survival, an actual astronomical condition, to name a few. But we first encounter it in a video game. Also called “The Three Body Problem,” this game brings the player to the court of a king on another planet employing all of his best scientists, thinkers and mathematicians to figure out how to predict the movement of the Sun. While this planet sometimes enjoys “Stable Eras,” resembling our regular daily cycles of light and dark, they are interspersed with unpredictable “Chaotic Eras,” where the sun won’t rise for months or will suddenly get too close to the surface of the planet and burn everything up. Being an accomplished physicist himself, Yang Miao, the protagonist, eventually figures out why the Sun behaves so erratically. “The reason why the sun’s motion seems patternless,” he tells the king and his advisors, “is because our world has three suns”. He continues:
Under the influence of their mutually perturbing gravitational attraction, their movements are unpredictable—the three-body problem. When our planet revolves around one of the suns in a stable orbit, that’s a Stable Era. When one or more of the other suns move within a certain distance, their gravitational pull will snatch the planet away from the sun it’s orbiting, causing it to wander unstably through the gravitational fields of the three suns. That’s a Chaotic Era. After an uncertain amount of time, our planet is once again pulled into a temporary orbit and another Stable Era begins. This is a football game at the scale of the universe. The players are the three suns, and our planet is the football.
We already know what happens when a solar system has just one sun‚— we are living it. If there were two, the cycle would probably have more variation, but the suns would exert the same force on each other and eventually create a steady rhythm. Something changes, however, when three things are placed in relationship to each other. We see this dynamic when two people come together to a third thing— a child or even the very essence of their relationship and fused energies creating an entity separate from the two people on their own. Prediction and foresight go out the window when two becomes three. Chance becomes a crucial factor. Chaos reigns.
