Befriending the Zodiac

I’m a coach who uses tarot and astrology to help self-doubters transform their relationship with themselves so that they can stop playing small and create the life they want. I believe that tarot and astrology are a ton of fun…and when you use them on a regular basis, they are truly powerful catalysts to creating the life you want. I write about how I use these tools in my life on a daily basis.

🔮 Find your center (even when everything feels like a hot mess)

Do you ever have trouble going back to sleep when you wake up in the middle of the night? I know I do. Luckily, I discovered this ridiculous "hack" where I scroll Reddit for 20 minutes, reading about someone else's cheating spouse or friendship drama. My brain can finally focus on someone else's problems instead of my own swirling thoughts. And then I drift off to sleep. Pretty healthy coping mechanism, right? 😅 Well, recently, even that hasn't been working. Because going on Reddit means I'm...

Hi Reader! I'm thrilled to announce that the Befriend the Zodiac Birthday Club is officially open! 💌 When your zodiac season arrives, you'll receive four weekly birthday messages designed specifically for your sign. Think of it as a month-long celebration where each week brings a new surprise to help you understand yourself better and celebrate your existence on this Earth. While I'm keeping the specific contents under wraps (because every birthday needs some mystery!), I promise each message...

Hi Reader! Birthdays are so complicated when you're an adult. On one hand, it's a day just for you! (Yay!) But then there's the existential dread of being another year older. There's the moment when someone asks "any big plans?" and you realize you don't...and it feels like yet another thing to have to figure out. And there's the anxiety about another year passing without becoming who you "should" be by now. Birthdays force us to think about time passing...and that's something a lot of us...

Hi Reader! I've tried to write to you at least three times this week, and each time, I ended up hitting delete. Earlier today, I crafted an entire email about Neptune entering Aries, but couldn't find a point that felt important enough to hit send. Then I went home, collapsed on the couch with my dogs, and sent my friend Angela a voice message. "I want to write an email today, but I just feel too sad," I told her. I'm approaching the end of my dog Kumba's second round of chemo treatments....

Hi Reader! The tulips in my front yard are already pushing up from the ground as I write this—Spring Equinox energy buzzing in the air, marking the start of a fresh astrological year. Meanwhile, gifts for my daughter's 7th birthday this Sunday line the counter, waiting to be wrapped. In my family, birthdays are revered...even for my 77 year old parents! And at the same time, birthdays can be so...complicated. I still remember the gut-punch feeling at my 8th birthday party. I was in the...

Hi Reader, A lunar eclipse happened in Virgo early this morning (last night, really), and I’m not here to tell you it’s going to change your life overnight. I’m here to talk about something else entirely – that quiet insistence inside you that knows there’s more. The dream you’ve tucked away because it doesn’t make “practical sense.” The path that calls to you even as you explain all the reasons you can’t take it. WHAT ECLIPSES REALLY REVEAL Eclipses fascinate me, not because they dictate our...

Hey Reader, You know that feeling when you're waiting to be picked? When your worth feels like it's hanging on someone else's choice? Yeah, let's talk about that. Recently at a metaphysical fair, I watched people wait for the reader across from me to be available while my table sat empty. That old familiar story started playing: "If I was just different/better/more [insert impossible standard here], they would choose me." After drenching myself in painful stories for a few hours, I remembered...

That time someone wrote music about how monotone I am… 😅 Hi Reader! Have you ever wished you could trade in parts of yourself for an “upgrade”? I used to. Back in my early twenties, a composer friend told me he’d written a piece inspired by me. At first, I was deeply honored (I mean, how cool is that?) until he explained his inspiration: My monotone voice. Ouch. Later, as an elementary school teacher, my principal told me I needed to be “perkier.” They even said the kids didn’t understand me...

Hi [FIRST NAME], Before I share today's story, I want to remind you that spots for complementary Year Ahead Vision Sessions are filling up quickly. If you're ready to understand your cosmic cycles and create meaningful change in 2025, click here to book your session. 📖 If you're just joining us... In 2016, I kept pulling the Death card in readings about my marriage. Even though I knew what it meant, I wasn't ready. So I kept shuffling it back into the deck. For 5 years. Then I had my...
