Hi Reader! This week, Venus, the planet of relationships, love, and worthiness, Mercury, the planet of perception, thought, and communication, and the Sun, are all crossing over from Gemini into Cancer. Imagine this: on a sunny Saturday morning, you go to the farmer’s market with friends. It’s packed with people. You stop and talk to a farmer selling sweet turnips, inquiring about how long they’ll be available. You ask a woman who sells tortillas if it’s a family recipe. You have a picnic…

Hi Reader! Welcome back to the Tarot Tea Room. Before you pull a card, I want you to go within. I want you to explore what is true for you right now, in this moment, today. What feels real in your body? What thoughts are circling in your mind? What emotions are bubbling up for you? What feels the most real for you? What feels weighty? Give yourself a moment to formulate a question from your inner excavation. And then, pull a card by clicking one of the three card backs below. I hope that…

Hi Reader! Gemini season starts on Monday, and a special guest is coming to the party. We say it’s Gemini season or Cancer season, etc. when the sun is in that sign. But a heavy hitter is joining the sun on May 25th, and will be staying in Gemini for the next year. That’s right – Jupiter, the planet of expansion, meaning-making, and hope, will be hanging out in Gemini until next June. Jupiter magnifies each sign and house it’s in, so get ready for a year of amped-up Gemini. This means…

Hi Reader! On Monday at 3:13 AM MDT, the Sun will be conjunct to Uranus, the planet of authenticity and rebellion. Some astrologers call Uranus the Great Disrupter. I call it the weirdo of the planets. Uranus is the planet that shakes things up to facilitate our freedom. It’s the voice inside that says, “I know how most people do things, but that’s not how I want to do them.” And, when Uranus traverses an important part of your birth chart, whether it’s a planet or an angle, events will…

Hi Reader! Tonight is the new moon in Taurus. Taurus energy is lush, present, and steady. It’s the flowers blooming on your block, opening to the sun each morning and closing their petals in the darkness. Taurus is being open to receiving the gifts of the earth. Your child’s small hand in yours. The beauty of a foggy day where you can’t even see the tops of the trees. The heat of your first sip of coffee in the morning. The new moon is the promise of something new and magical. It’s the…

Hi Reader! Yesterday, May 2nd at 11:46 MDT, Pluto, the Great Transformer, went retrograde in Aquarius. And…it’s going to remain retrograde until October 11th, so it’s going to impact us for quite awhile. Unlike Mercury Retrograde, which has more of a direct impact on our communication and technology, Pluto’s retrogrades are connected to deep transformation. Pluto moves reallllly slowly, so personal Pluto transits (i.e. when Pluto hits an important degree or planet in your chart) are already…

Hi Reader! I hope you’re having a good week. I’m still dealing with the news that my dog Kumba has lymphoma – which involves getting him chemo, researching holistic treatments, and possibly cooking him and his puppy brother home cooked meals from now on. Jorgen (top) and Kumba (bottom) And also, lots of tears and fear. And some hope. I’m trying to deeply appreciate his presence in my life, give him more walks and pets, and make every day count – while knowing that he could decline at any…
