Hi all,
I hope you and yours are doing as well as can be expected in the midst of *gestures* all this.
I wanted to let you know two things,
First, for the paid subscribers -- I've paused everyone's billing cycles for the foreseeable future. The world is unpredictable, and in my experience, Substack subscriptions are one of those small expenses you don't think about until it's already getting deducted from your bank account.
There's a major reason I can do this, and I want to be transparent about it. A lot of my writer friends with Substacks rely on it as part of their income. I don't. I took a new full-time job as Director of Content for Chani Nicholas last month, which felt lucky and rare all on its own before the world around us changed seemingly overnight. And because of that stability, it feels only right to press pause on y’all’s paid subscriptions for now.
So, second -- Will the newsletter continue? Yes, in a more truncated form for the time being. I'll be sending out one newsletter a month to everyone, covering the month's transits.
If this isn't what you signed up for, I understand! For a more regular astro fix, I would strongly recommend Mecca Woods' daily horoscopes at Bustle or Claire Comstock-Gay ("Madame Clairvoyant")'s weekly horoscopes at The Cut. If you want a heady dose of astrologers going long on how the stars are interacting with *all this* then you've simply got to listen to Mecca and Janelle Belgrave's podcast Stars on Fire.
In the meantime, stay safe, wash your hands, and don't feel guilty about binge watching your favorite TV show or treating yourself to your fave childhood candy.
Take care of yourselves (and each other),
Jeanna
