Friday is Venus’s day.
Which means that it’s a day for the things that Venus values: connection, beauty, relationship, culture, joy.
For spreading the love. Sharing the love.
In honor of Venus, I’d like to introduce the Friday Love List. This probably won’t go out every week. But I want to share things I’ve been loving, or that I loved reading or watching, to express gratitude to them (and to Venus, for all good things), and I’d like to invite you to share in the comments, too.
Things I loved this week
Reading
- ’s essay about castle daddy CT and his win on Traitors. my partner Meg and I are sluts for reality TV, and Traitors fully captured our hearts.
Amaya Rourke’s powerful newsletter and reflections on shifting and ending relationships with spirits, specifically Mater Medusa. Cannot recommend her work strongly enough.
A last-minute addition to this list!
’s just-sent Dingus of the Week is Boeing. If the news about the clusterfucks going on at Boeing has somehow escaped you, then this is a great summary and breakdown. (The “mysterious” death of the Boeing Whistleblower is also, low-key, super fueling the Princess Kate meltdown everyone is having, IMO.)
Listening
Kacey Musgrave’s new, decidedly country album, which is decidedly animist coded. Also, the song “Deeper Well” starts off with shouting out her Saturn Return. We love a witchy country queen.
Watching
This TikTok about crow parties. I shared it on my IG stories. I want to have one. I will have one. Who in NYC will come to this decidedly Saturnian Venus party?
I did not watch the Oscars, but Ryan Gosling’s “I’m Just Ken” performance is all over my TikTok and I’m not mad about it. He brought CINEMATOGRAPHY and CHOREOGRAPHY and most importantly all the other Kens to the Oscars.
Experiencing
All hail the astro-mages at Sphere & Sundry for a brilliant Exalted Luna launch. The write-up is an amazing read, and should be very instructive for folks who want to know more about why Taurus Moons can be so potent. I’m so excited for this new materia to land at my door. (If you are interested in trying S&S for the first time, here’s my referral code.)
Speaking of talismanic astrological magic: Pallas K. Augustine’s brainchild Idola Stellarum has re-opened their Inner Sanctum membership! They run Idola with their partner, Rain, and the amount of educational materials they also write is just incredible.
The astrology for writers Discord. Whew, did we have some conversations this week! Love y’all.
love YOU and love this, a perfect venus day missive
Thanks Jeanna for reminding me to give thanks for the love in my life. I sometimes take things for granted.
I loved connecting with two of my spiritual friends this week. Long conversations, sharing astrogical and spiritual insights about our lives and our work. I loving having two such wonderful, understaning, and supportive friends.
