hello! brief update: I have opened up my July books for 1:1 astrology sessions. Check out this page for more details on the types of sessions I offer.
And head over to Parts & Charts: The IFS and Astrology Podcast if you haven’t already and hit Subscribe for weekly episodes and extras (like the Cancer season horoscopes sent out a couple days ago!) <3

the memo
I’ll be brief: this week will deceive you.
You’ve wanted to “yeehaw.” You’re itching to get going. You’re asking the person next to you in line, “what’s the hold up?” They have no clue what’s keeping everyone still, either.
You have a choice: push through into the thick heat of the day and lose control (is this another way to say “fuck around and find out”?). Or, hang back, pop a hat on your head, take a nap, and then allow the loud commotion of movement wake you.
It is not until Thursday or Friday until we’ll feel the wind blowing again… might as well catch some zzz’s before then.
influences
- sends out monthly snail mail letters that include encouragement and active practice for self-compassion. I spend so much time on the computer, friends. This is one way I will be getting offline and going inside. Oh also she co-hosts the Plain View podcast — I appreciate their depth of research on topics like aging, grief, boundaries, while approaching with love and understanding.
field journal
hello self—this week I was knocked out by a series of unfortunate body events (thank you, heating pad. Thank you, icyhot.) which made this week mostly a week of watching reality TV. My dreams have been full of voting people out and asking if “#momtok will survive this” (directly pulled from The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives). In 2020, I woke up worried that I murdered someone, and was “getting away with it,” while my husband and I watched every episode of How to Get Away with Murder as quickly as anyone could. I fear my internal experience is too connected to what I am watching, always, and I see how I avoid television because of this. But there’s this Ross Gay quote where he talks about theories and I don’t pretend to be great at remembering quotes or even representing them with accuracy but here’s my take away: my human brain is wired to seek out the dangers and warnings, but the logic stands in the opposite way as well. What would happen to my dreams, my mind, my heart if I allowed television centered around brilliance, joy, connection, grand plans for reforestation to fill me? Would I then wake up worried I planted a thousand trees on public land and feel like I got away with it?
