🍰 Birthdays...


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 don't love to think about. (Including me! I'm still 27 years old on the inside!)

But there's also something so important about being forced to asked these existential questions about who we are, who we want to be, and what we want to do in the upcoming year.

I get so many requests to do readings around birthdays, whether they're in-depth, one on one explorations, or shorter readings at parties.

I think it's directly connected to the birthday angst and joy I just mentioned - birthdays are life markers that give us the opportunity to connect to something larger and deeper, whether that's our own purpose, evaluation of where we want to be in our lives, or an awareness of being on a journey that has a beginning, middle, and end point.

This is why I've been developing the Befriend the Zodiac Birthday Club concept I mentioned in an email a few weeks ago. I want to bring you some of the magic and clarity of a personalized session so that you can start your next year with excitement and joy rather than existential dread.

When your zodiac season approaches, you'd receive a series of thoughtfully crafted emails designed specifically for your sign that would:

  1. Reveal the unique gifts of your sign that are often misunderstood by others (and sometimes by you)
  2. Identify the core patterns that might be holding you back from embracing your authentic self
  3. Provide personalized journal prompts and practices to help you harness the potent energy of your birth season
  4. Include an invitation to a special Birthday Cosmic Clarity Call with me to explore how your chart can guide your next chapter

The parts of your chart - and your life - you struggle with most are actually signposts to your greatest gifts. This is the foundation of my coaching work, and why I believe your birthday season is such a potent time for transformation.

I'd love to know your thoughts on this concept.

If you didn't get a chance to respond to my poll in the last email, or have additional thoughts, please take a moment to share your feedback:

If you have specific aspects of your sign you'd like explored in the birthday club or suggestions to make this concept even more valuable, hit reply and let me know!

In the meantime, if you're feeling called to experience this kind of cosmic clarity now rather than waiting for your birthday season, I'd love to invite you to a complimentary one-on-one Cosmic Clarity Call. These 60-minute sessions help you envision what you want in your life and give you insights into how your birth chart can help you make it happen.

Warmly,

Daniela

P.S. With Saturn sextile Uranus from March 22 to April 20th, our hard work (Saturn) is working co-creatively with our drive to be unique and free (Uranus). This planetary aspect is helpful for finally taking concrete steps toward your weirdest and most important dreams, whether it's your birthday or not. I'd love to dive into what that would look like in a complimentary discovery session.

Hi Reader! A caterpillar sheds its skin many times throughout its life, building more of what it needs to become a butterfly with each molt. When it finally creates its chrysalis, it already has butterfly parts growing inside. Now it spends a few days to a few years dissolving the remaining caterpillar parts and completing its transformation into a totally new form. As humans, we enter the pupa state when we're in the middle of a big transition and/or big grief. When parts of us are...

Hi Reader, You may not know this about me, but I've been doing the self-employed thing for the past 14 years. I’ve been a private tutor, website designer, freelance writer, writing coach, instructional designer—and now I’m a coach/tarot reader/astrologer hybrid. (Can you tell I'm a Gemini? 😉) I’ve taken more courses and joined more memberships than I can count. And here’s something I’ve started to see clearly: A lot of them are built around this idea that someone out there has finally cracked...

Hi Reader! Are you the kind of person who falls into a book and forgets the real world exists? I LOVE epic fantasy series. You know, the ones that you can read for months, and when they end you feel like a bunch of close friends just moved away? Right now, I'm reading a series called Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman. I almost skipped it—because, honestly, Dungeon Crawler Carl? That sounds like a bad mobile game from 2007. But I'm obsessed. The series starts when Carl's ex-girlfriend's...
