The Stars Crossed series focuses on astrological compatibility. We’re moving past the Sun to examine the other planets in the next leg of the series. First up, the Moon! When it comes to astrological compatibility, there’s more to it than Sun signs. In fact, all of the planets play a role. However, the Moon is among the most important planets to consider since it indicates your emotional needs. When you understand this part of your chart – or your partner’s – you can begin to connect in a meaningful way. It’s easy to assume we can’t get along with the people in our lives. In some cases, it’s ..read more

On the outside, I’m a cool-headed, happy-go-lucky type. You’d never guess I’m walking around in a quiet panic because I have too much pep in my step. Yep, there is a whole lotta anxiety bubbling underneath the surface. It doesn’t interfere with my life. It’s just present. The other day, I was pondering why this is so. Is it because I’m a Gemini with six Mercury-ruled planets in my chart (Gemini rules the nervous system)? Or something else? After much reflection (and sake), I found the root cause: childhood. Yep, that’s where it originated, much like most people’s fears and phobias. Some of th ..read more

Confession: I’ve never had a hangover. In fact, I’m a great drinker. I can hold down with the big boys. Well, I used to…but I can only drink one glass of wine these days or don’t sleep. Yes, sleeping is more important than imbibing with my buddies. Priorities change when you get older. Wine isn’t the only thing that impacts my sleep. Full Moons do, too. Either I sleep too hard – or I’m stuck with wicked insomnia. There is no in-between. I wake up the next day feeling like crap, which I imagine is how a hangover feels. The next day tends to blur as I sort out my thoughts and insights. Because ..read more

Hence, it’s essential to release whatever you’v ..read more

Last weekend, my daughter and I attended an event with the psychic medium John Edward. If you’ve never had an opportunity to see him work, go. He’s the real deal. This was my second time seeing him, but my daughter’s first. Needless to say, her jaw was in her lap for the entire two hours. She loved it.  At times, people were allowed to ask questions about his work. One young woman was handed the mic and began talking about “her gift.” That gift was…psychic abilities. John turned this into a teachable moment when he said that intuition was not a gift for the special few but something ever ..read more

On Saturday, April 20th at 10:27 PM ET, Jupiter will align with Uranus in the earthy sign of Taurus at 21º. This cosmic connection is rare; it only happens every fourteen years or so, which means it’s important – and impactful. This might be the most significant transit of 2024. Jupiter is the planet of expansion. Wherever Jupiter goes is where we grow. Uranus is associated with revolution, sudden change, and innovation. When you put these two powerhouses together, it’s a recipe for epic shifts. So what can we expect seeing as these planetary heavyweights are sitting pretty in the sign of the ..read more

After a few years of being housebound due to the pandemic, I began to take baby steps and travel again. Last week, I was in Los Angeles for a teaching gig at 22 Teachings, a gorgeous space hosted by the brilliant Naha Armady. I adore Naha, so this was an easy yes. (Los Angeles, you treated me like a queen. I love you – and will be back.) While most folks are no longer concerned with Covid, it still plays a huge role in my life. I live with someone who is immune-compromised. Catching Covid could be a death sentence. Hence, I live my life like a little recluse. I won’t risk causing harm to them ..read more

The Solar Eclipse in Aries 2024 will occur on April 8th at 2:21 PM ET. As the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, the sky will seem to get dark. If you’re in the path of the eclipse, this should be a spectacular sight! Even if you’re not, the energy of this day is potent, so don’t be shocked if you feel a shift. Eclipses signal change, and in the sign of Aries, a fresh start is possible. However, Eclipses are also unpredictable, which means whatever happens on this day could be shocking or unexpected. It’s best to keep an open mind, go with the flow, and work with the energy rather tha ..read more

Yesterday, I stepped into Free Spirit Crystals for the last time. This beloved shop has been a favorite haunt for mystical seekers. But now, the owner is ready to retire. She’s heading to a cabin in the woods to write music. It’s sad, but at the same time, it feels so right for her.  As I walked through the shop, jostling elbows with other crystal fanatics picking through the already picked-over stock, I couldn’t help but feel wistful. This marked the end of an era. It seems there have been many endings of eras around me. Bowie, Petty, and Prince leaving this earthly plane felt like the ..read more

The Lunar Eclipse in Libra 2024 shows up on March 25th at 3:00 AM EDT. Lunar Eclipses occur when the Earth is between the Moon and the Sun. When this happens, the Earth’s shadow causes the Moon to darken. A Lunar Eclipse is like a “full moon on steroids,” which means the energy around this day will be intense. Full Moons bring endings and release. Situations that have been simmering for some time come to a head. If something reaches a grand finale, this is not the time to hold on. Instead, you must trust that it’s meant to be – and let it go. In the sign of Libra, relationships could be under ..read more
