✨ Curious about how creativity shows up in the birth chart? My dear friend Maeg Keane and I are offering a new lecture, Creativity Through the Houses, currently available for pre-sale and officially dropping on May 26th. SO SOON.
📚 At the request / behest of prospective mentees, I am now officially opening applications for astrological mentorship. Please note that mentorship is exclusive to recent clients, current/former students and/or container participants (e.g. the Showing Ups), and/or current Discord members — AKA, folks I have some kind of pre-existing relationship with. I’m excited to grow with you!

12:35am: Mercury in Taurus square Mars in Leo (13*)
If for some reason you are struggling through the writing in the wee hours of Sunday morning, might I gently suggest you go to bed? When communicator Mercury (stubborn in Taurus) squares off with conflict-happy Mars (in also-stubborn Leo), it’s a recipe for frustration, whether the issue at hand is your WIP or a sticky relationship. Walk away, sleep on it, return to it in the morning when you’re refreshed.

5:38am: Sun in Taurus sextile Saturn in Pisces (29*)
This morning, we’re making sure that the structures we’ve spent time investing in this Taurus season will actually serve us. Taurus energy is focused on investing in that which will last, and Saturn is deeply supporting those efforts which are most sustainable. And so we are invited to consider what expectations and demands we have of ourselves (and our creative work) that might be in need of revising toward a more sustainable approach?
This is a good morning to touch grass, journal it out, stretch, and remind yourself that while seasons of High Output come and go, developing (or revising) a creative practice that is sustainable will serve you better in the long run.
