If you're just starting out with astrology, welcome. This space is for you. You don’t need to know all the symbols or jargon. You just need to be curious, and open to noticing. Here’s a soft, soul-friendly guide to help you start feeling into the astroweather, connecting with the sky, and getting to know yourself  in the process. 🌌 What is  astrology? Astrology is the ancient practice of tracking the movements of the planets—what I like to call The Gods —and noticing how Their stories echo through our own lives. It’s not about predicting the future or putting anyone in a box. It’s about awareness . About recognising the patterns, tuning into the rhythm of the Universe, and understanding that the sky is always speaking to us—offering a mirror, a message, a moment to pause and listen. Without astrology, life can feel like wandering through a dense forest blindfolded. One minute you're strolling through a sunlit glade with mossy toadstools and fresh spring water… the next, you’ve fallen into a hidden sinkhole or taken a wrong turn into the cave of angry wolves. You don’t know why the ground fell away beneath your feet. You don’t know why that hill felt so hard to climb. The forest is still beautiful—but it’s happening to  you. Astrology hands you a map. It doesn’t remove the hills or the wolves—but now you know  they’re there. You can pack accordingly. You can bring fresh meat to leave at the cave door. You can plan rest stops at the glade, knowing they’re coming. You begin to see the meaning behind the twists and turns, the sacred timing of it all. Suddenly, it’s not chaos. It’s not random. It’s a path. Your  path. And its happening for you. Astrology invites you behind the veil. It reminds you that there is purpose to what you’re feeling and experiencing. That The Gods are not punishing you, but prompting you—urging you to grow, to heal, to reclaim the bits of yourself you’ve left behind. And when you start to listen… life begins to shimmer. Even the hard parts. ✴️ What’s a birth chart? Your birth chart is a snapshot of the sky at the exact moment you were born. It’s your cosmic blueprint—a map of the stories that will shape your life. It shows us what kinds of experiences we’re likely to encounter, what themes repeat, and where our gifts and challenges lie. It reveals patterns that often trace back to childhood—our joys, our wounds, our ways of coping, connecting, and making meaning. It holds your potential, your shadow, your persona, your purpose. It’s the full cast of characters you came in with—some more obvious, some hidden in the wings, all of them woven into your becoming. It’s not fixed. But it’s deeply personal. A chart doesn’t trap you—it reveals you. And by knowing your map, you learn to walk the path with more grace, more clarity, and more compassion for who you are and who you’re becoming. If you don’t know your chart yet and would like a free picture of it plus an overview of your rising sign, fill in this contact form   with your birth date , time , and place and I’ll email it over. If you'd like a detailed reading in which I'll explain all of this and more, learn more about it here . 🌬️ What are transits? The Gods are always on the move. Whether we’re aware of it or not, They’re weaving Their stories through our days—shaping moods, moments, and meaning. Transits are what we call these current movements in the sky. And even if you know nothing about your birth chart, you can feel  the transits happening. They show up in the world around you—in the news, in conversations, in your body, in your dreams. But when a transit lines up with a sensitive place in your  chart, it gets personal. The Gods don’t just stir the collective pot—they tap you  on the shoulder. They start a conversation with one of your inner characters, and it can feel louder, more intense, more meaningful. That’s how you begin to track the themes that are likely to arise for you—not just now, but in the seasons ahead. Astrology becomes a living dialogue. And over time, you start to hear Them more clearly. 🌱 How do I start feeling into  astrology? This is where the magic happens. You don’t need to study hard or remember all the meanings. You just need to notice . Here's how: Pick one transit  each week that interests you. (I include beginner-friendly notes in my Week Ahead forecasts.) Mark the date  it’s occurring (there will be a moment that a conversation is exact but we can usually feel it for two or three days either side of that date). Pay attention  to what’s rising in your life. What’s happening around you? What’s shifting inside you? What stories are being told? Reflect.  Did anything match the themes? Was there a nudge, a wobble, a burst of clarity? Bit by bit, you’ll get a feel for the rhythm. You’ll notice that certain types of days have a similar flavour. You’ll start to anticipate when it’s time to rest, to act, to let go. It’s not about control—it’s about connection. Astrology reminds us that we’re part of something much bigger, and that everything we feel, and experience, is part of the story. 📺 Want a daily dose?

A gentle guide to uncovering your own path to love, beauty, and abundance Astrology is a language of the soul, but it’s also a craft. And once you’ve felt the truth of Venus in your life, you may want to go deeper, to look at her technically, as she appears in your birth chart. This post is for you if you’ve begun to ask: “How does Venus actually show up for me?” “What’s getting in the way of love and abundance?” “How can I work with my chart to soften into receiving?” You don’t need to know everything. You just need a willingness to explore. Take this step by step. Make space for insight to arise gently. We’ll look at: Venus herself—her strength, her dignity, her support The 2nd house—your relationship to money, value, and resources The 8th house—what you share, inherit, or owe Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars—supporters or challengers in the story of wealth Each section includes reflection prompts and key things to look for. Let’s begin with Venus. 💖 Venus: The Heart of Love, Beauty, and Receiving In traditional astrology, Venus is the lesser benefic , the planet most naturally aligned with harmony, pleasure, connection, and value. She shows how you attract, how you receive, and what brings you joy. When assessing Venus, ask: What is her sect?  Venus prefers night charts, She’s more at home in the dark, where softness and pleasure are welcomed. Is she dignified?  Venus is strong in Taurus  and Libra , and exalted in Pisces . A dignified Venus tends to feel at ease expressing beauty and drawing in what she desires. Venus finds it harder to express Herself in signs that are opposite to her home signs and exaltation: Scorpio , Aries , and Virgo . Is she visible?  If Venus is under the beams  or combust  (too close to the Sun), Her gifts may be harder to access. What house is she in?  The 1st, 5th, 9th, and 11th houses tend to support Venus’s expression. Is she in aspect to the Ascendant or its ruler?  This can affect how fully her energy is available to you. Who is her dispositor?  Look at The God ruling the sign she’s in, are They in good condition, and can They support Her? Is she in forward or backward motion? A retrograde Venus can take a while to learn to express herself fully. There can be an inner journey here, before the ease can manifest in the outer. If Venus is stationing (standing still to turn around) her energy is amplified in the chart, like she has an exclamation point: Venus! ✨ Reflection:  Is my Venus well-supported in my chart? Or is she hidden, pressured, or disconnected from my sense of self? 💰 The 2nd House: Personal Wealth and What You Value The 2nd house speaks to your material resources, but also to your internal ones: self-worth, skills, and what you consider valuable . Who rules the sign in the 2nd house?→ Look at that God’s sign, house placement, condition , and aspects . Are there Gods in the 2nd house ?→ Benefics here (Venus and Jupiter) can indicate support; malefics (Mars and Saturn) may bring challenges but also strength over time. ✨ Reflection:  How do I feel about earning money? Is it connected to my self-worth, or shaped by fear, scarcity, or inherited patterns? 🕯 The 8th House: What Is Shared, Owed, or Inherited Often called the house of other people’s money, the 8th deals with shared finances, debts, inheritances, and energetic entanglements. Who rules the 8th house sign? What condition is that God in? Are there any benefics in the 8th that may bring unexpected support? If Venus is in the 8th and in good condition, She may help you attract support through others . If Saturn or Mars is here and out of sect, there may be difficulty or entanglement with shared resources. ✨ Reflection:  Am I comfortable receiving support from others? Do I carry shame or fear around money that comes through partnership or family? 🌱 Jupiter: The Bringer of Blessings Jupiter shows where and how you might experience growth, generosity, and natural flow . A well-placed Jupiter can be a quiet ally in building wealth and trust in life’s abundance. Is Jupiter in sect ? In a day chart , He’s naturally stronger. Is He dignified , or in a house that supports his work? Does He rule or aspect the 2nd or 8th houses? Is He in good relationship with Venus? ✨ Reflection:  Where does ease already exist in my life? Do I let myself expand, or do I fear what comes next? 🪨 Saturn and Mars: The Teachers of Endurance and Will In traditional astrology, Saturn and Mars are the malefics, not because They’re bad, but because they represent challenge, work, and growth through effort. Mars  in sect (night charts) may bring courage and financial boldness. Saturn  in sect (day charts) may bring structure and long-term building. If either rules or sits in the 2nd or 8th, you may have a harder road, but also deeper lessons and lasting strength. ✨ Reflection:  Where do I feel I have to struggle or earn my worth? Can I honour that path without becoming stuck in it? 🌸 Final Thoughts You don’t need to decode every detail of your chart overnight. This is a journey of curiosity, not perfection. Each of these placements offers a clue. A doorway. A way back to yourself. Not to change who you are, but to remember the beauty, value, and worth that has been there all along. Start where you are.

When you sit down with Saturn, you’re sitting down with The God who shows you the architecture of your life. He speaks in structures and silences, limits and legacies. He doesn’t ask for perfection, He asks for commitment. Saturn teaches that the things which last are the things we earn. With Saturn, you are not meeting an easy God. You are meeting the one who waits. The one who tests. The one who shapes your soul through time, effort, and truth. He is the one who asks not, What do you want?  but What are you willing to build, slowly, brick by brick, with your own two hands? So if you want to understand your life’s real  work ( 'The Work' ), this is where to begin. If you're ready to begin that conversation, here's how to find Him: 1. 🌓 Sect Check: When Does Saturn Speak Loudest? Is your chart diurnal (Sun above the horizon - Day Chart) or nocturnal (Night Chart)? Saturn is more constructive in day charts , offering boundaries, wisdom, and clarity. In night charts , He can feel heavier, more like internalised fear or self-doubt. But this darkness isn’t a curse, it’s a calling to do deep, private work that others may never see, but you will always feel. 2. 🏛 Dignity Check: Is Saturn at Home or in Exile? Look to the sign Saturn is in. Saturn is strong in Capricorn  (domicile), Aquarius  (domicile), and Libra  (exaltation). Here, His rules have structure, His delays have meaning. In Cancer  or Leo , Saturn is in exile or fall. He may feel awkward, misfitted, or harsh. But these are the placements where the transformation is often most profound - where the work becomes sacred. Saturn is neutral in the other signs. 3. 🔥 Visibility Check: Is Saturn Seen or Hidden?   (Optional Deepening) If Saturn is close to the Sun (within ~15°), he may be under the beams , working more in the shadows. His themes become internalised, like fear, shame, or private burdens. If He's visible  in the chart, His lessons are more public: career demands, family pressure, societal roles. This is a subtle layer, but it can show whether you feel  Saturn more as outer pressure or inner resistance. 4. 🏠 House Check: Where Does Saturn Ask You to Grow Up? The house Saturn occupies is where you're being asked to mature. It may be the area you avoid, feel blocked in, or doubt yourself the most, but it’s also the place where real mastery waits. This is your work of a lifetime . The thing you do slowly, seriously, and eventually… beautifully. 5. 🧭 Aspect Check: Is Saturn Working With You, or Against You? What aspects does Saturn make to: your Ascendant  or its ruler? your Sun  or Moon ? your chart ruler ? Supportive aspects can provide inner resilience. Harsh ones may create inner critics or feelings of being “never enough.” But these tensions are your forge, they shape your character and capacity. 6. 🧱 Dispositor Check: Who Holds Saturn’s Keys? What planet rules the sign Saturn is in? And is that planet strong? If the ruler is dignified and visible, Saturn has stable ground beneath him. If not, Saturn may struggle to find traction, like building a cathedral on sand. This layer shows how supported your Saturnian work really is. 7. 🕰 Motion Check: How Fast Is the Work Moving? Is Saturn direct , retrograde , or stationing ? Direct : His path is clear. You feel the pressure of responsibility and are moving steadily. Retrograde : The work is inner. It may relate to ancestral burdens, inherited patterns, or deep karmic loops. Stationing : The work feels intense and crystallised, a turning point. 8. 🔍 Saturn in the 12th House: The Hidden Mastery Traditionally, Saturn finds His joy in the 12th house , a place of solitude, the unconscious, and spiritual retreat. While often seen as difficult, this is where Saturn does his deepest, most private work . Here, Saturn teaches: Endurance in silence Strength through surrender Wisdom through long, unseen effort You may carry ancestral burdens, hidden fears, or feel unseen by the world. But Saturn in the 12th invites you to become your own anchor . The reward isn’t fame, it’s inner mastery. If Saturn is here, your work is sacred—even if no one else sees it. 9. 🪞 Inner Authority vs. External Authority This is one of Saturn’s deepest teachings: Whose rules are you living by? Are you still trying to win the approval of someone long gone? Are you rebelling just to prove you exist? Or are you ready to stand on your own inner ground, and become your own authority? Saturn matures as we stop projecting Him outward and take him in, wisely. 10. 🔄 The Saturn Return and Life Cycle Check First return: age ~29–30 Oppositions: ~14–15 ~43–44 Second return: ~58–60 These are your Saturn gates , initiatory thresholds where he asks you: What have you learned? What are you willing to take responsibility for? If you're near one now, or going through a major Saturn transit, your work is front and centre. Honour it. 11. 🌒 Reflection Questions Where do I fear failure and what would it mean to keep going anyway? What is the legacy I want to leave, even if no one sees it but me? What part of me is still waiting for permission to begin? 🪐 Saturn Is the Work, But Also the Reward As I wrote in Conversations with the Gods – Saturn: Doing the Work : “Saturn doesn’t promise ease, but he does offer meaning. When we stop resisting the weight, we discover it has shaped us into someone trustworthy. Someone capable. Someone real.” So don’t be afraid if it’s hard. Hard doesn’t mean wrong. With Saturn, hard means holy . Start where you are. Stay with the work. And one day, you’ll realise, you’ve become the kind of person you used to dream of being.

" The big secret in life is that there is no big secret. Whatever your goal, you can get there if you're willing to work. ” Oprah Winfrey Jump to section: Capricorn Qualities Capricorn Sun Capricorn Moon Capricorn Rising Capricorn Season This Capricorn Season How can we get the best out of the season? Capricorn Season themes for each rising sign Interesting examples of Capricorn Placements Book a reading with me Capricorn Season Build The Sun spends about a month in a each sign, illuminating our path around the wheel and bringing focus to a different area of our chart and the themes of our life's journey. The Sun is our guiding light and life purpose. The Sun always wants us to shine brightly as our authentic selves, striding purposefully along our path towards our desired destiny. Between December 21st and January 20th (London) The Sun will be in Saturn's Earth sign of Capricorn, 'The Sea Goat'. What does this mean for us? And how can we work with the solar energy over the next few weeks to further our self work and step into more authentic and integrated versions of ourselves? Capricorn Capricorn is the tropical, yin, earth temple ruled by Saturn. It is the domicile of Saturn and the exaltation of Mars, represented by the Goat-horned or Sea-goat. In this sign, the Sun reaches its lowest point, closest to the Earth and the southern horizon, before beginning its upward ascent toward the pole star. This transition imbues Capricorn with themes of resourcefulness, persistence, and determination. It embodies goal-orientation, ambition, and realism, often characterised by a steely, ruthless, and mysterious nature. The sign also reflects maturity, discipline, austerity, and control. Capricorn is the sign associated with the ascent of light emerging from the depths of darkness and the coldness of winter. Adam Elenbaas - Nightlight Astrology The Capricorn Sun Just as the Sun is at the centre of our solar system, our Sun placement is the heart of the birth chart, with all the other Gods in service to the process of self-development and creative fulfilment that it represents. The Sun in our chart describes our core sense of identity and the journey we undertake over the course of life, His position in our chart shines a light on our central storyline. There is a sense of quest with the Sun, at the end of which we eventually come home to ourselves. Where do you shine in the world? When the Sun is in Capricorn , it imbues the individual's core identity and life journey with qualities intrinsic to this earthy and ambitious sign. Capricorn is ruled by Saturn , the planet of structure, responsibility, and discipline, which greatly influences the path of self-development and creative fulfilment for those with this Sun placement. Here’s a closer look at what it means to have the Sun in Capricorn: Core Identity and Central Storyline Capricorn Suns are driven by a deep need for achievement , stability , and legacy . Their central storyline often revolves around building something lasting, whether it’s a career, a family, or a personal sense of mastery. Life can feel like a mountain to climb, with challenges along the way, but this only strengthens their resolve. The ultimate goal is to reach the summit, where they can find self-worth through their accomplishments and contributions to the world. Capricorn represents the archetype of the builder  or authority figure , and individuals with this Sun placement naturally gravitate toward roles where they can demonstrate leadership, competence, and resilience. Where They Shine Ambition and Leadership : Capricorn Suns shine when they’re working toward long-term goals. Their ability to strategize, plan, and execute is unmatched, making them natural leaders and respected figures in their communities or fields of expertise. Responsibility and Integrity : These individuals often thrive in positions of trust, where their sense of duty and commitment to ethical standards is apparent. Their grounded approach makes them reliable pillars in personal and professional relationships. Mastery Over Time : Capricorn is associated with Saturn, which governs time. This lends Capricorn Suns a profound respect for patience and process. They excel in pursuits that require diligence, structure, and a willingness to delay gratification for greater rewards. Resilience and Perseverance : Life may present hurdles, but Capricorn Suns are known for their ability to endure and overcome. They shine brightest when they use their innate resourcefulness to turn limitations into stepping stones. Their Journey The quest of a Capricorn Sun is to balance ambition with inner fulfilment . They may initially focus heavily on external achievements, but as they grow, their journey leads them to understand that true success comes from aligning their ambitions with their values and emotional well-being. The culmination of their path often involves a sense of coming home to themselves , realising that their worth isn’t solely tied to what they do but also to who they are. Challenges Fear of Failure : Capricorn Suns can sometimes be overly hard on themselves, fearing failure or inadequacy. Learning to embrace imperfections is an important part of their journey. Work-Life Balance : Their drive can lead to overwork or neglect of personal relationships. Integrating relaxation and emotional connections is key. Loneliness : The solitary climb to the top can leave them feeling isolated. Building meaningful relationships alongside their ambitions enriches their lives. Connection to the Father Archetype The Sun represents the father archetype, symbolising guidance, identity, and authority. For Capricorn Suns, this archetype emphasises responsibility, discipline, and achievement, often reflected in a father figure who prioritised hard work and tangible success, though emotional warmth may have been less prominent. This dynamic shapes Capricorn Suns into individuals driven to provide stability, build lasting legacies, and earn respect through accomplishment. While their focus on structure and external success often defines their life story, they may struggle with vulnerability and self-nurturance. Growth comes through balancing ambition with emotional connection, ultimately integrating authority with empathy to lead and inspire meaningfully. Creative Fulfilment For Capricorn Suns, creative fulfilment often comes from seeing the tangible results of their efforts. They are builders of dreams and architects of systems, thriving in pursuits that allow them to craft something enduring, whether in business, art, or relationships. Their creativity is pragmatic and disciplined, often turning visions into reality through methodical action. Capricorn Sun Mantra "I shine by climbing higher, building stronger, and staying grounded in who I am." The Capricorn Moon The Moon is equal in importance to the Sun and represents our emotional core, our inner world, and how we respond instinctively to life's experiences. It is the realm of feelings, intuition, and memory - what nurtures and comforts us, as well as how we seek to nurture others. While the Sun reflects our outer, active self and conscious identity, the Moon governs our inner, reactive self - our emotional habits, needs, and instinctual behaviours. It connects to the mother archetype and shows how we seek emotional security and a sense of belonging. How do you feel? The Moon , equal in importance to the Sun, governs our emotional core , the quiet inner world where feelings, intuition, and memory reside. In Capricorn , this emotional core takes on a structured and disciplined quality, reflecting Capricorn’s practical and responsible nature. This Moon finds comfort not in indulgence but in accomplishment, order, and long-term stability. Emotional Core and Inner World The Moon in Capricorn suggests an individual whose inner world is shaped by duty, resilience, and the need for control. Their feelings are deep but often filtered through the lens of practicality. Emotional responses are instinctively measured and restrained, driven by a need to maintain stability in themselves and their surroundings. This placement often aligns with a mindset of self-sufficiency. The native may feel that emotional security is something earned through hard work and endurance, rather than something freely given. Feelings, Intuition, and Memory Capricorn's earthy nature grounds the Moon, tying emotional intuition to real-world experiences. These individuals rely on their memories, often shaped by early lessons about responsibility and the value of perseverance. Instinctively, they approach challenges with determination, intuiting solutions that emphasise long-term results. However, memories of emotional hardships or a lack of nurturing in childhood might weigh heavily, influencing their ability to fully embrace and express vulnerability. Nurturing and Comfort For a Capricorn Moon, nurturing others often takes a practical form: providing resources, creating order, and offering stability. They may not express emotions in flowery or overtly affectionate ways but show their love through reliability and acts of service. What nurtures and comforts them? Tangible achievements, recognition for their efforts, and the assurance that they are contributing something meaningful. They find solace in structure and a clear sense of purpose, thriving when life feels predictable and under control. Emotional Habits and Instinctual Behaviours Emotionally, the Capricorn Moon responds instinctively with caution and composure. There is an ingrained habit of compartmentalising feelings to focus on the task at hand. When overwhelmed, they may withdraw, preferring solitude to process emotions privately. Their instinctual behaviour often reflects a sense of responsibility, both for themselves and others. They may feel compelled to "be the strong one," providing for those around them, even at the cost of their emotional needs. Connection to the Mother Archetype The Capricorn Moon’s connection to the mother archetype often embodies the "provider" or "teacher" figure. This archetype emphasizes boundaries, discipline, and practical care over overt emotional warmth. Those with this placement may have experienced a mother figure who instilled the value of hard work and self-reliance, though they might have longed for more emotional softness and vulnerability in that bond. As nurturers themselves, they often reflect this same archetype - pragmatic, reliable, and focused on ensuring others are prepared for the realities of life. Emotional Security and Belonging Capricorn Moons seek emotional security in systems, traditions, and achievements. A well-structured life, clear goals, and a sense of purpose create a feeling of belonging. They are comforted by relationships where mutual respect and loyalty form the foundation. For them, emotional security often hinges on knowing they are respected and valued for their contributions - whether in family, work, or friendships. How Do You Feel? If you have a Moon in Capricorn, or know someone who does, this placement may feel both grounding and weighty. There is a quiet power here: the ability to endure, to remain steady in the face of life’s ups and downs, and to find comfort in the tangible achievements that define personal worth. Capricorn Rising Also known as your Ascendant, your rising sign is the Zodiac sign that was rising on the eastern horizon when you were born. Symbolising who you are in the world, we can think of our rising sign as our ‘persona’, a mask we wear and how we show ourselves to the world. Who are you in the world? A Capricorn Rising , also known as a Capricorn Ascendant, imbues your outward persona and first impressions with the practical, disciplined, and ambitious qualities of Capricorn. As your rising sign  represents the sign that was ascending on the eastern horizon at your birth, it symbolizes how you appear to others and the approach you take to life. It is who you are in the world - the energy you project in social settings and new encounters. Who Are You in the World? With Capricorn Rising, you are seen as serious, composed, and reliable. People likely perceive you as someone grounded and mature, even at a young age. You carry an air of authority and responsibility, often giving the impression that you have your life in order or are on a purposeful path. Your approach to life is practical and strategic. You take your time, setting long-term goals and steadily working toward them with patience and perseverance. Others may admire your ability to stay focused and composed, even under pressure. The Mask You Wear The Capricorn Ascendant is professional and competent. You project an image of someone who takes life seriously, values structure, and is focused on achieving success. This persona often reflects a strong sense of duty, and people might instinctively turn to you for leadership or advice. At times, you may appear a bit reserved or even stern, as Capricorn Rising individuals are less likely to show vulnerability or frivolity in their outward demeanour. However, beneath this serious exterior, there is often a dry sense of humour and a deeply caring nature revealed to those who earn your trust. How You Show Yourself to the World Appearance:  Capricorn Rising often gives a neat and polished look. Whether through your physical features or your style of dress, there’s likely something understated yet elegant about your presentation. You favour practicality over ostentation, appearing timeless and professional. Interactions:  In social settings, you may come across as reserved or cautious, carefully observing before engaging. You prefer meaningful conversations and connections over shallow exchanges. Others might initially see you as distant, but they soon recognise your wisdom, dependability, and depth. First Impressions:  People see you as someone capable and responsible, someone they can rely on in times of need. Your demeanour might suggest that you are ambitious and hardworking, with a quiet confidence that inspires respect. The Capricorn Rising Persona Capricorn Rising individuals often embody the archetype of the Builder  or the Strategist . You are someone who carefully constructs your life, brick by brick, ensuring that your foundations are strong and enduring. You’re driven to create something meaningful and lasting in the world, and your actions are often guided by a sense of purpose and legacy. Your persona reflects: Discipline:  You project an image of self-control and responsibility. Ambition:  Others see your focus and drive, recognising you as someone with a plan and the determination to execute it. Wisdom:  You come across as mature and thoughtful, often inspiring others with your patience and insight. Challenges of the Mask Reserved Exterior:  While your calm and composed demeanour earns respect, it can sometimes make you seem unapproachable or overly serious. Pressure to Perform:  You might feel the need to live up to the responsible image you project, even when you’re struggling internally. Guarded Nature:  It can take time for others to see your softer, more vulnerable side, as you may hesitate to reveal it. In Summary A Capricorn Rising individual wears a mask of strength, stability, and ambition. You are someone who appears to have clear goals and the discipline to achieve them. The world sees you as dependable and mature, a person who values substance over flash and who works tirelessly to build a meaningful life. Capricorn Season The Mountain Goat Capricorn Sun Season: A Time of Reflection, Resilience, and Renewal The Capricorn Sun season  begins during the heart of winter in the Northern Hemisphere, marking the Sun’s lowest point in the sky. Yet, paradoxically, this season is not one of defeat but of renewal . With the Sun in Capricorn , we are invited to embrace themes of persistence, determination, and a quiet but powerful ascent. Capricorn’s energy is steeped in Saturnian wisdom, a yin, earth-aligned temple , where practicality meets mysticism, and ambition is tempered by discipline. Seasonal Themes Ascent from the Darkness The Sun, having descended to its furthest point, now begins its slow, determined rise upward. This symbolic ascent mirrors Capricorn’s innate qualities of resilience and steady progress. It is a season of introspection and renewal, where we plant the seeds of goals that will bear fruit through careful planning and consistent effort. Resourcefulness and Persistence In the depth of winter, resources are scarce, and survival depends on adaptability and strategic thinking. Capricorn Sun season encourages us to assess our strengths, harness what we have, and focus on long-term goals. It’s a time for building and fortifying foundations. Maturity and Discipline Capricorn’s Saturnian influence brings themes of austerity , control , and maturity . This season challenges us to embrace responsibilities and make decisions with long-term consequences in mind. It’s about understanding that true mastery comes from discipline and delayed gratification. Ambition and Realism With Capricorn’s goal-oriented  energy, the season inspires us to take a pragmatic look at our aspirations. What are our priorities? What can we realistically achieve with the resources at hand? There’s no room for illusions here—only a clear-eyed view of what needs to be done to climb the mountain. Inner Light in Outer Darkness Capricorn symbolizes the Sea-Goat , a creature able to navigate both the depths and the heights. This duality reflects the ability to tap into an inner reservoir of light and strength even in the coldest, darkest times.

Capricorn, ruled by Saturn, is deeply connected to time, structure, and ambition, and these themes resonate strongly in his life and work. Nostradamus dedicated himself to crafting a body of prophecies that transcended his era, ensuring their relevance for generations to come. His disciplined approach to astrology, medicine, and mystical studies reflects Capricorn’s methodical nature, while his ability to encode profound insights into cryptic verses demonstrates the sign’s pragmatism and resourcefulness. Living in a time of plagues and religious upheaval, Nostradamus' resilience and capacity to adapt—hallmarks of Capricorn energy - allowed him to thrive and leave behind an unparalleled legacy. Capricorn’s association with the Sea-Goat , a creature that navigates both earthly and mystical realms, is evident in Nostradamus’ dual mastery of practical knowledge and esoteric wisdom. The ascent of the goat mirrors his relentless ambition, while the depths of the sea speak to the enigmatic, emotional undercurrents of his work. His cryptic quatrains were not just predictions but a testament to his understanding of human history’s cyclical nature and the flow of time. Like many Capricorn Suns, Nostradamus faced challenges, including scepticism and isolation, but these only deepened his resolve to create something lasting. His ability to navigate challenges with resourcefulness and patience reflects the strength and foresight of his Capricorn Sun, ensuring his place in history as a figure of enduring mystery and wisdom. Capricorn Moon: George Washington George Washington ’s Capricorn Moon  likely played a profound role in shaping his emotional world and inner character, reflecting the traits of discipline, responsibility, and a deep sense of duty. The Moon governs our emotional needs, instincts, and private self, and in Capricorn, it emphasizes maturity, self-control, and a preference for stability and structure. For Washington, this placement would manifest as a deep inner drive to uphold traditions, protect the foundations of society, and carry out his responsibilities with unwavering resolve. His ability to remain calm under pressure and his methodical approach to leadership stem from the grounded and pragmatic qualities of a Capricorn Moon. Emotionally, Washington would have drawn strength from a sense of purpose and accomplishment, finding comfort in fulfilling his role as a leader and protector. A Capricorn Moon often prioritizes duty over personal desires, and this could explain his enduring commitment to the ideals of the American Revolution and the careful establishment of a stable government. While this placement can sometimes make individuals appear stoic or emotionally reserved, it often hides a profound depth of feeling and a willingness to shoulder burdens for the greater good. Washington’s Capricorn Moon underscores his legacy as a steadfast and reliable figure who provided the emotional foundation necessary to guide a fledgling nation toward stability and unity. Capricorn Rising: Prince Harry , as a Capricorn Rising , likely presents himself to the world with a grounded, responsible, and pragmatic demeanour, even as his personal life reveals greater emotional depth and complexity. Capricorn Rising individuals often come across as mature beyond their years or as figures of authority, even if they don’t actively seek leadership. For Harry, this influence manifests in his deep sense of duty and the public’s perception of him as someone committed to meaningful causes, particularly those involving veterans, mental health, and global philanthropy. Despite the turbulence of his personal journey, his Capricorn Ascendant gives him a reputation for resilience and a determination to build something enduring, like his foundation, Archewell. Externally, Capricorn Rising individuals may project a reserved or composed image, which Harry demonstrates in his ability to navigate intense public scrutiny with poise. However, Capricorn’s ruler, Saturn , often brings challenges and lessons tied to self-mastery and personal responsibility. For Harry, this rising sign’s influence might reflect the weight of his royal heritage and the responsibilities that come with it, as well as his deliberate efforts to redefine his identity outside traditional frameworks. His public persona reflects Capricorn’s qualities of ambition and a desire to create lasting impact, while his journey also highlights the rising sign’s theme of striving toward greater authenticity and alignment with one’s core values despite external expectations.

"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." - Oscar Wilde Aquarius Season The Sun’s journey through the zodiac marks the changing seasons, each bringing its own lessons and energy. When the Sun moves into a new sign, it’s like a shift in the cosmic weather, something we can feel in our lives, whether we’re aware of it or not. Welcome to Aquarius Season From approximately January 20th to February 18th, the Sun moves through the sign of Aquarius, bringing with it a season of innovation, rebellion, and forward-thinking energy. It’s a time when the light is rising from the depths of winter, but we’re not quite in the warmth of spring yet. It’s a season of contrasts; of rebellion and tradition, of progress and preservation, of outsiders and visionaries. This is the fixed, yang, air temple of Saturn, and like all things Saturnian, it has a job to do, one that often involves questioning, innovating, and pushing beyond the boundaries of what we think is possible. "You change the world by being yourself." - Yoko Ono The Water-Pourer and the Bringer of Change Aquarius is a sign that often gets misunderstood. People hear “Water-Pourer” and assume it’s a water sign, but this is solid, structured air; the breath that carries ideas far and wide. Saturn, the ruler of Aquarius, governs time, rules, and structure, but here in its airy temple, there’s a twist, Saturn’s work is about seeing beyond what is and asking, “What could be?” In Aquarius season, we are caught between two worlds: the past and the future. This is why you’ll see Aquarian energy manifest as both the keeper of the status quo and the radical who tears it all down. It’s the CEO in a power suit and the anarchist in the street; the nostalgic yearning for a golden past and the revolutionary hunger for a utopian future. Aquarius is the one who looks at the world and says, “We can do better.” And then does something about it. The Energy of Aquarius Season: Where Do You Fit In? As the Sun moves through Aquarius, we’re invited to tune in to this energy. Where in your life are you holding onto the past? And where are you being called to envision something new? This season asks you to notice where you feel like an outsider, and instead of seeing it as a weakness, recognise it as a strength. The greatest changes come from those who refuse to fit neatly into the mould. If you feel like you don’t belong, maybe you’re here to build something where you do. Aquarius is also a sign of community - popularity isn’t just about personal charm; it’s about influence. Who are you surrounding yourself with? Are they pushing you forward or holding you back? If you want to thrive in Aquarius season, seek out your people , the ones who share your ideals and challenge you to think bigger. Working with Aquarius Energy This is the perfect time to set long-term goals, especially those that push you beyond your comfort zone. Think big, but ground your vision in something tangible. Saturn rewards effort , not just wishful thinking. If you’ve been feeling stuck in an old pattern, use this season to break free. Innovation isn’t just about technology; it’s about mindset. Challenges? Oh, there will be some. The shadow side of Aquarius can be cold, detached, and rigid in its ideals. Be mindful of where you’re so focused on the future that you forget to live in the present. Be wary of seeing yourself as the one with all the answers - progress happens through collaboration , not just rebellion.

Happy Aquarius Season! May your vision be clear, your mind open, and your future bright. What makes this Aquarius season special? Sun conjunct Pluto in Aquarius at one degree Last year, just before stepping into Aquarius on January 21st, the Sun met Pluto at the final, breathless moment of Capricorn - the very last degree, the 29th. The Sun and Pluto meet once a year, but this was different. This was the final Sun-Pluto conjunction in Capricorn for over two centuries. A closing chapter; a moment of reckoning. Now, as we begin Aquarius season, Pluto is reborn in the heart of the Sun, this time in Aquarius, on January 21st. For the first time in our collective history, Pluto is initiated into a new solar cycle in Aquarius, marking the dawn of a new era. One that will unfold over the next two decades. This is a potent moment. A threshold. A call to set your intentions with clarity and presence. Pay attention to what’s shifting - inside you and around you. The more conscious you are of your own desires and direction, the more influence you have over where you’re heading. This season, the Sun and Pluto are working together in Aquarius, lighting up the truth of who you are and what you’re here to do. No more hiding. No more shrinking to fit. It’s time to navigate your life with purpose. From 365 Days of Tao : Navigation Do you know Where you are On your journey? Tao’s movement has been compared to the flow of rivers. Its vastness has been compared to that of oceans. Some people are content to float here and there with the tide, but for others, such passivity is impossible. We have to navigate. Like early explorers on the high seas, we know where we want to go. That’s when studying precedence is important. The wisdom of those who went before us is like a map. The truths regarding Tao are like the stars. We determine our goals, and we set out according to what we know and what we learn. The future is always uncertain; that is why it is important to objectively evaluate where we are on our spiritual path. Some people never know where they are in life, and that is one of the biggest reasons they are unhappy. Do you know where you are? Do you know where you want to go? Now is the time to choose your path with intention. The Sun and Pluto are handing you the map; it's up to you to chart the course. If you're ready to explore your own terrain with deeper clarity, astrology can be your compass. Your birth chart holds the wisdom of where you've been, where you are, and the possibilities ahead. Working with an astrologer can illuminate your path, helping you move forward with purpose. The future is unwritten - how will you shape it? If you’re not sure which house Aquarius lands in your chart, I can provide you with a free digital picture of your birth chart. Just get in touch with your details, and I’ll send it to you as soon as I can. What’s unfolding for you this season will depend on the other conversations happening in the sky and how they interact with your own birth chart. Everyone’s journey through the cosmos is unique. If you’d like to dive deeper into your chart and explore how Aquarius Season is shaping up for you, or if you want a broader reading on who you are and what your life journey entails - book a one-to-one consultation with me here . There’s loads of information on my website, including what to expect from a reading with me and the story of my own transformational journey . Take a look, explore, and if you’re curious, let’s start a conversation. Read about more conversations with The Gods in my blog . My experience of Aquarius season: A Reflection 'Aquarius season has been a whirlwind of breakthroughs for me. I’ve cracked the code on how to get the best out of AI, which has finally helped me get on top of the blog posts I’ve been meaning to write. My creativity is on fire—I’ve completely redesigned my website, found my unique voice, and have a ton of ideas flowing. I’ve also connected with Essential Therapies, a beautiful natural health and wellbeing studio in Sidmouth, where I’m now offering in-person readings. The owner has been incredibly supportive, and I’ve joined a thriving community of independent therapists. It’s all starting to come together, and I’m planning ahead—social media sorted, two weeks in advance, with expansion in mind. But the challenge? I have so many ideas and not enough time to execute them all. I still have the limitations of my day job and my responsibilities as a single mum, which means I have to be strategic with my time and energy. The vision is there; now it’s about pacing myself so I don’t burn out before I bring it all to life. I feel fired up. Astrology is an Aquarian discipline, after all. As a Libra rising with Venus and Jupiter in Aquarius, this energy is hitting home in a big way. With Pluto crossing my IC, there’s a deep transformation unfolding—I’ve found my purpose, and I’m stepping into it fully.' 🚀♒

“ When I admire the wonders of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in the worship of the creator.” – Mahatma Gandhi Pisces Season Pisces Season & The Art of Noticing: When The Universe Whispers, Listen Pisces season has arrived, and with it, the veil between what is seen and unseen becomes thinner. The God of the Fishes doesn’t do straight lines or clear roads; He moves through currents, weaving patterns only visible in hindsight. If you’ve ever had a moment where life felt like a dream sequence, where symbols lined up, songs played at just the right time, or a stranger said exactly what you needed to hear, then you already know the magic of Pisces. But here’s the thing: this magic is always here.  The Universe is always whispering, leaving cosmic breadcrumbs for us to follow. It’s just that most of the time, we’re too busy thinking in bullet points and to-do lists to notice. Pisces season invites us to let go of that hyper-focused grip on reality and let life speak to us in its own language. Synchronicities, those weird little winks from The Universe, are not just coincidences; they are the poetry of this season, the signs that we are connected to something far beyond what we can control. So, how do we work with this energy? How do we make the most of this heightened flow of magic? 1. Follow the Threads Pisces doesn’t knock on the door; He seeps in through the cracks. Pay attention to repeated themes in your life - to numbers that keep showing up, snippets of overheard conversations, the book that falls off the shelf. The Gods don’t send emails; They send patterns. If something keeps crossing your path, don’t dismiss it. What is it trying to tell you? Where is it leading you? 2. Let Yourself Drift (A Little) We spend so much time trying to steer the ship, but Pisces season is an invitation to float. Let your mind wander. Daydream. Take the long way home. Lose yourself in music. When we soften, life moves towards us.  The best ideas, the most profound insights, don’t arrive through force, they slip in when we’re relaxed enough to receive them. 3. Trust the Unseen Not everything has to make sense immediately. We are conditioned to look for meaning in a straight line, but Pisces reminds us that meaning is something we uncover over time.  Just because you don’t understand why something is happening now doesn’t mean it isn’t shaping you in ways you’ll later understand. Trust the process. 4. Say Yes to Magic Magic is like a muscle - the more we acknowledge it, the stronger it gets. When we start to see synchronicities, it’s easy to brush them off. “That’s weird,” we think, and then we go back to the mundane. Instead, say yes.  Engage with it. If a sign appears, follow it. If you dream of a place, visit it. If an opportunity arises that makes no logical sense but feels right, explore it. The more we play with The Universe, the more The Universe plays with us. 5. Keep One Foot on the Ground Pisces season is an ocean, and while it’s beautiful to swim, we don’t want to drown. Stay tethered to something - journaling, movement, time in nature - to keep from getting lost in the waves. Magic and reality aren’t opposing forces; they are dance partners. Pisces season is a time of deep connection: to ourselves, to each other, and to the grand, mysterious intelligence that we are all a part of.  The more we lean into that, the more life opens up in ways we never expected. So, as the Sun moves through these waters, pay attention. The Universe is speaking. Are you listening? The Sun in Pisces through the Houses Ancient House Topics What’s Being Lit Up for You? ✨ ♈ Aries Rising:  Your dreams, solitude, and subconscious  are illuminated. Pay attention to what rises to the surface in quiet moments. The signs will come in whispers, through dreams and gut feelings. Rest, reflect, and listen. ♉ Taurus Rising:   Community, friendships, and future visions  take centre stage. Who is showing up for you? What synchronistic meetings are guiding you toward something bigger? Connections hold magic now—follow the thread. ♊ Gemini Rising:  Your career and public life  are in focus. Watch for signs pointing you toward your calling. A casual conversation could reveal your next step. If you’ve been feeling lost, Pisces season will nudge you toward purpose in the most unexpected way. ♋ Cancer Rising:  Your beliefs, learning, and expansion  are in the spotlight. A book, a course, or a random encounter could shift your perspective entirely. The Gods are calling you to trust in something greater— what are they asking you to believe in? ♌ Leo Rising:   Deep transformation, intimacy, and shared resources  are activated. This season may bring signs around what needs releasing and what is ready to be reborn. Notice where you feel drawn—or where life is pulling you whether you like it or not. ♍ Virgo Rising:   Relationships and partnerships  are illuminated. The signs may come through other people—chance meetings, old loves resurfacing, or a simple phrase from a stranger that shifts everything. Stay open to what others are showing you. ♎ Libra Rising:  Your daily life, routines, and wellbeing  are in focus. Small signs hold big meaning now—pay attention to what feels good, what feels draining, and where life is nudging you toward better habits. Synchronicity shows up in the details. ♏ Scorpio Rising:   Creativity, romance, and joy  are in the spotlight. Inspiration comes when you least expect it, but only if you leave space for it.

The messages are everywhere—in lyrics, conversations, and passing thoughts.

Notice where abundance is trying to flow in—opportunities, gifts, and unexpected support. The Gods are whispering: Are you willing to receive? ♓ Pisces Rising:   You.  Your identity, presence, and personal path are in focus. This is your season. Life will send you signs about who you are becoming— watch for them.  You don’t need to chase anything; it’s already finding you.  ✨ Where the Edges Blur Pisces season is where life softens, where the hard lines between what is real and what is imagined start to dissolve. It’s a time for dreaming, for indulging the wild, creative impulses that we so often push aside in favour of the ‘real world.’ This is the season to dance with the unseen , to let synchronicities guide you, to celebrate the mystery that we are all woven into. We are not separate. That is the great lesson of Pisces - everything is connected.  Your intuition sharpens now, your ability to sense the whispers of something greater than yourself is heightened. The Universe has always been speaking to you, but now? Now, the volume is turned up. But how do we hold it all? How do we honour the magic without losing ourselves in illusion? Finding the balance between the ‘seen’ and the ‘unseen’ is one of the greatest challenges of being here.  Sometimes, we have to root down, accept reality, and move through life with clear eyes. And sometimes, we have to lift our gaze, soften our grip, and remember: miracles happen.  What feels impossible might just be waiting for us to see it from another angle. This Pisces season, let’s explore where the magic is trying to find you. A reading is the perfect way to understand what’s being illuminated in your chart—where the Gods are calling you to surrender, to trust, to open. Let’s dive in together.

“If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere. ” – Vincent van Gogh Taurus Season Taurus Season 2025: Grounding the New The Sun walks into Taurus on the 19th of April and with that shift, we enter the solid, slow, sensual temple of Venus. This is the part of the journey where we exhale, put our feet on the Earth, and ask ourselves: What’s real now? What’s worth holding onto? Taurus is yin earth. Steady. Sovereign. Not here to rush or be rushed. The Moon is exalted here. The body is holy. Beauty is a balm. Food, touch, rest: sacred. This is the realm of the Bull, who teaches us that strength can be still. That power can look like peace. Taurus season is a time to sustain  the light. We are past the first burst of Aries fire; now we hold what’s been lit and help it root. There’s a simplicity to this season that invites us to get honest. To stop spinning our wheels. To notice what brings pleasure and what doesn't. And to be stubborn in the best of ways, steadfast in honouring what truly matters. But this year, Taurus season isn’t just sweetness and calm. This year, the Sun in Taurus immediately locks horns with Mars in Leo and Pluto in Aquarius. The tension is real. Mars brings heat. Pluto brings depth. Both are pulling on the foundations. We’re being asked: what are we building, really? Who’s in control? And are we ready to stand in our own power. Not perform it, not give it away, but ground it, humbly and fully, into the body? This comes right after a wild season of retrogrades and eclipses, with Neptune’s big move into Aries still rippling through. It’s a time of deep, collective change. Something new is landing. And with it, a truth: we can't stay in the dream. We have to build it. Taurus says: make it real. Make it last. This is about more than comfort. It’s about values. About love. About what you’re willing to commit to when no one’s watching. About what you plant, water, and grow with care. So, what are you grounding in now? What are you refusing to rush? What does your body know that your mind has forgotten? These are the times we've been whispering about. The changes aren’t coming, they’re here. Let Taurus season hold you while you start living into the new. And for those interested in the cultivation of self, Taurus season is such a beautiful time for self work. In Taurus there's an invitation: Come back to your body. Sit still. Listen. Here’s how we can embrace Taurus season as a time for individuation , for becoming more fully ourselves, slowly, sustainably, and in our own rhythm: 🌿 1. Slow Down Enough to Hear Yourself Taurus teaches us that we don’t find truth by moving faster, we find it by becoming present. So much of our self-work begins in the moment we pause. When we stop numbing or pushing or rushing, we begin to notice the quieter truths: what we need, what we feel, what we long for. This is a season to ask: What am I running from? What happens when I stay? 🐂 2. Honour the Body as a Temple This is not about bubble baths and spa days (although those are welcome). It’s about reclaiming your body as a site of wisdom . As the home of your soul. Taurus reminds us that the body holds memory, instinct, and truth. If you’re working on boundaries, on self-worth, on trust, start with the body. Try: Eating slowly and with gratitude Walking barefoot on the earth Breathing into your belly when you feel anxious The body doesn’t lie. It will show you what feels safe and what doesn’t. Trust it. 🌸 3. Get Clear on What You Truly Value Taurus is ruled by Venus, the Goddess of love and value. She’s not interested in what looks good on paper, She wants what feels  good in your bones. This season is a powerful time to redefine what matters to you. And not just in theory. In action. Ask: Where am I spending my time, energy, money? Do those choices reflect who I really am becoming? Because individuation isn't about becoming someone new. It's about coming home to what’s already true , and living in alignment with that. 🪨 4. Practice Sacred Stubbornness One of Taurus’s greatest gifts is persistence. Yes, it can tip into resistance, but when harnessed well, it’s the sacred commitment to keep going when it matters. This is the time to recommit to what you love. To your healing path. To your truth. Even if it’s slow. Even if no one else gets it. This is the part of individuation that says: I know who I am, and I’ll root into it no matter what the world says. 🌕 5. Let Beauty Be Your Teacher We heal through beauty. We remember who we are through pleasure, not just pain. Taurus asks us to open to the softness that makes life worth living. Notice the light in the trees. The scent of your morning tea. The way music makes your heart ache. These are the moments that reconnect you to your soul. They remind you that you’re here to live , not just survive. The Sun in Taurus through the Houses Ancient House Topics 🌿 Feeling Into Taurus Season – A Rising Sign Guide Taurus season invites us into the body. Into slowness. Into truth. But if you’re new to astrology, you might wonder: How do I actually feel into it? Here’s a simple tip:👉 Pay attention to what’s happening in your life—not what you think  should be happening, but what you’re actually experiencing. The house Taurus rules in your chart tells you where  the invitation is landing. That’s where the work, and the magic, is. Look to your rising sign below to feel into where The Gods are guiding you this season… ♈️ Aries Rising – Taurus in the 2nd House This season is all about self-worth, money, and what makes you feel safe. ✨ Where do I need to stop proving and start honouring what I already bring to the table? Feel it:  Notice how your body responds when you say no, or yes. Do you tense up? Breathe deeper? Your body knows your worth. Let it lead. ♉️ Taurus Rising – Taurus in the 1st House This is your season. It’s about you , your identity, your body, your presence. ✨ What version of me am I becoming, and what needs to be shed to let that be? Feel it:  Get dressed slowly. Touch your skin with reverence. Notice how it feels to move through the world as you are right now. ♊️ Gemini Rising – Taurus in the 12th House Time to rest. To retreat. To listen to the whispers beneath the noise. ✨ What am I holding onto that no longer serves me? Feel it:  Spend time alone. Journal dreams. Nap without guilt. Notice what arises when you stop doing. ♋️ Cancer Rising – Taurus in the 11th House This season brings focus to friendships, visions, and future dreams. ✨ Who nourishes me? What kind of world do I want to help grow? Feel it:  Tune into your body in group settings. Do you feel relaxed and open? Or tight and small? Let your nervous system guide you. ♌️ Leo Rising – Taurus in the 10th House This is about career, visibility, and what you’re here to build. ✨ Does the life I’m working toward actually feel good in my body? Feel it:  When you speak about your work or dreams do you light up? Or shrink? Follow the glow. ♍️ Virgo Rising – Taurus in the 9th House A time to seek truth, expansion, and deeper meaning. ✨ What beliefs are ready to be embodied not just understood in my mind? Feel it:  Let your body be your compass when exploring new ideas. Truth isn’t just logical, it’s what makes you breathe easier. ♎️ Libra Rising – Taurus in the 8th House This season lights up a part of the chart that’s often overlooked or misunderstood. The 8th isn’t about personal power, it’s where power isn't  ours to hold. It’s where we owe and are owed. Where we face what we didn’t choose: death, inheritance, other people’s values, other people’s stuff. ✨ What have I taken on that doesn’t belong to me? What do I need to let go of that I can’t carry anymore? Feel it:  Notice what happens in your body when you think about letting go of control. Of not having the answer. Of allowing yourself to receive: support, forgiveness, grace. This is a house of surrender, and Taurus offers a steady hand to help you do just that. ♏️ Scorpio Rising – Taurus in the 7th House Relationships take centre stage. Not just romantic, but any space where you meet The Other. ✨ Where am I giving too much, or not enough, in the name of connection? Feel it:  Tune into your body during interactions. What does safety feel  like in relationship? Can you soften and stay? ♐️ Sagittarius Rising – Taurus in the 6th House Focus on daily rituals, body care, work, and well-being. ✨ What needs tending in my everyday life so I can feel more whole? Feel it:  Notice your energy throughout the day. Where does it dip? Where does it rise? Let your body re-teach you rhythm. ♑️ Capricorn Rising – Taurus in the 5th House Time for joy, creativity, and pleasure. ✨ When did I last do something just because it felt good? Feel it:  Sing. Dance. Laugh. Let go of the outcome. The body knows how to play. Follow it back to fun. ♒️ Aquarius Rising – Taurus in the 4th House Your roots are calling. Home, family, ancestry, and emotional safety  are themes. ✨ What does home feel like in my body? Feel it:  Rest in your safe spaces. Let your home hold you. Light a candle. Wrap in blankets. Come home to yourself. ♓️ Pisces Rising – Taurus in the 3rd House This is a time for communication, learning, and connection through the everyday. ✨ What’s the quality of my thoughts, and how do they make me feel in my body? Feel it:  Speak aloud what you’re afraid to say. Write by hand. Walk and talk. Let movement help the messages land. Want to really feel into this Taurus season? 👉 Choose one of these prompts and journal with it. Or better yet, don’t journal. Just sit with it. In silence. With your hand on your heart. What does safety feel like in my body? What am I holding onto that no longer feels good in my hands? Where in my life am I rushing when I want to slow down? What kind of beauty nourishes me, not just visually, but viscerally? What am I ready to receive, even if it scares me to want it? What would it look like to honour my energy instead of overriding it? What do I truly value, and how would my life change if I lived from that place? Where do I feel the most at home, in myself, in my body, in the world? And if nothing comes at all, that’s okay too. Sometimes Taurus season just wants us to be still long enough to feel the ground again. See what arises when you stop trying to “do” and start letting yourself be. ☀️ Work with me A note on AI & my writing: I use ChatGPT as a writing assistant—not as a writer.

“ I wanted to change the world. But I have found that the only thing one can be sure of changing is oneself.” – Aldous Huxley Aries Season The Warrior Embarks Between March 20th and April 19th, The Sun journeys through Aries, lighting a fire within us all. Aries, the bold initiator and passionate fire-starter of the zodiac, is shining brightly this season, stirring up powerful energies and profound new beginnings. Right now, Aries isn't just hot—it's ablaze! Mercury and Venus are both currently moving backwards (retrograde) in this fiery sign, asking us to slow down and look inward. Mercury encourages us to rethink and revisit the ways we communicate and act, while Venus urges us to reflect deeply on our relationships, finances, and how we love ourselves and others. Read more on Mercury Retrograde here and Venus Retrograde here . Later in Aries Season, on March 30th, Neptune moves into Aries for the first time in over 160 years, marking a significant shift. This move calls us to dream courageously, embrace independence, and be brave in letting go of illusions about ourselves. It's a time to find our true strength, to define who we are without the need for validation from others. Adding to this fiery energy, we also have a powerful Solar Eclipse in Aries on March 29th—a potent cosmic moment encouraging new beginnings, self-mastery, and stepping authentically into our courage. The Gods are guiding us to see where we've been holding back or not living true to ourselves, offering a final nudge towards change. In the midst of these powerful shifts, things can feel chaotic, especially when we look at the world around us. Now more than ever, it's essential to focus on what we can control—our own wellbeing. Take time this season to nurture yourself, amp up the self-care, and let go of external chaos that's out of your hands. Perhaps give yourself permission to unplug from the news for a bit. Remember the wisdom of Aldous Huxley: “I wanted to change the world. But I have found that the only thing one can be sure of changing is oneself.” This Aries season is your chance to bravely become who you truly are. How will you rise to meet the warrior within? So What Is An Aries Sun All About? Aries season arrives like the dawn after a long night, bringing warmth, courage, and a fresh spark of life. Aries is the fiery, passionate temple of Mars—The God who teaches us bravery, courage, and the determination to push forward even when we're feeling afraid. Think of Aries season as The Universe gently (okay, maybe not so gently!) nudging us out of the shadows. It's time for the light to take over and for us to reclaim our sense of adventure. The Gods invite us to be brave, bold, and perhaps a little bit fierce in going after what we want. But remember, there's a fine line between standing up for ourselves and tipping into aggression or impatience. Aries' energy helps us face things head-on, so we might encounter a few tests around boundaries, ego, or confrontations—but these moments aren't here to trip us up; they're opportunities to notice where we've been hiding from our power or giving it away. Since Aries is about youthfulness and independence, there's a wonderful chance to reconnect with what makes you feel alive. What lights that spark in your heart? What do you want to begin anew? Maybe it's a passion project, maybe it's standing up for yourself a bit more, or perhaps it's just believing that you deserve to be seen and heard. This is your moment to shine in ways that only you can—just like the Ram who confidently leaps forward, trusting His strength to lead the way. But remember, with this fiery energy can also come impatience or conflicts, so take a breath if you feel the flames rising too quickly. Aries teaches us that courage doesn't mean always charging ahead—sometimes it means facing difficult feelings, speaking up when it's uncomfortable, or choosing kindness over being right. And here's the magical bit: as you explore and embrace your courage, you'll find The Universe meets you halfway. Your bravery opens doors you didn't even know existed. So let's lean into this Aries season with excitement and curiosity. Be brave, but compassionate. Be independent, but stay connected to your heart. And trust that The Gods are with you, lighting the way as you step forward into your most powerful, beautiful self. What are you ready to embrace and boldly step towards this Aries season? I'd love to hear what's stirring your heart! The Sun in Aries through the Houses Ancient House Topics ♈ Aries Rising This is your time to shine! You're at the heart of the action, being called to reconnect deeply with yourself and your true desires. Reflect: What fresh start is your soul longing for? Where have you held yourself back? Be brave, be honest, and let your true self lead the way. Remember to care for your body, slow down, and prioritise your peace amid life's chaos. ♉ Taurus Rising You're being gently guided inward this month. It's a time of deep rest, reflection, and spiritual renewal. Ask yourself: What hidden parts of you are ready to be embraced? Can you offer compassion to parts of yourself you've been neglecting? Make space for quiet contemplation—your answers lie within. Self-care rituals are your allies right now. ♊ Gemini Rising This season is buzzing with opportunities to reimagine your dreams, friendships, and communities. Consider: Do your connections support your authentic self? Are your dreams still aligned with who you're becoming? Trust your heart and open to new, vibrant collaborations. Embrace community, but give yourself permission to pause and reflect too. ♋ Cancer Rising You're in the spotlight, with a lot stirring around your career and life path. Think about: What are you truly passionate about achieving in this world? Are you living that truth, or is it time for a courageous adjustment? Honour yourself and your dreams—this is your chance to rewrite your story. Remember to balance ambition with plenty of self-nurturing. ♌ Leo Rising You're being invited into an adventure—one that asks you to question your beliefs and broaden your horizons. Ask yourself: How can you expand your view of the world? What old ways of thinking or fears might be limiting your freedom? Embrace new experiences that challenge you and fuel your spirit. Adventure awaits if you dare to reach for it! ♍ Virgo Rising It’s a deep-dive season into your emotional world, inviting you to face fears and transform hidden aspects of yourself. Reflect: What emotional or practical ties are ready to be released? How can you support yourself in moving through these changes with grace and strength? Be gentle with yourself; deep transformation requires deep kindness and patience. ♎ Libra Rising Relationships are centre stage for you this season. You're being asked to reflect on balance, boundaries, and independence in partnerships. Ask yourself honestly: Are your relationships aligned with who you really are? Where do you need more independence—or perhaps, more courage to express your heart fully? Speak your truth softly yet boldly, and watch the magic unfold. ♏ Scorpio Rising This Aries season calls for attention to your daily routines, health, and wellbeing. Consider: What habits serve your growth, and what’s holding you back? This is your moment to recommit to yourself—body, mind, and soul. Make choices that prioritise your peace and vitality, even amidst life’s chaos. ♐ Sagittarius Rising It’s time to reconnect to joy, creativity, and pleasure! Ask yourself: What genuinely makes your heart smile? Where have you denied yourself fun and creativity? Embrace the adventure of rediscovering your playful spirit—create something beautiful or do something just for the love of it. ♑ Capricorn Rising Home, family, and your inner world take precedence this season. Reflect deeply: What does emotional security truly look like to you? Are there feelings or family matters needing attention or healing? Be gentle with yourself; it's a beautiful opportunity to reconnect to your roots and nurture your emotional foundation. Healing here brings strength everywhere. ♒ Aquarius Rising Communication is highlighted—how you speak your truth and engage with the world around you is in focus. Reflect on: Are your words aligning with your authentic self? Could you be braver, clearer, or kinder in your expressions? Let your voice be heard, and don't shy away from honest, heartfelt conversations. Embrace your uniqueness. ♓ Pisces Rising It’s a powerful time to re-evaluate your self-worth and financial foundations. Ask yourself: Do your resources and the ways you earn and spend reflect your true values? Where can you build more stability or let go of things that no longer serve your growth? Embrace self-worth, set loving boundaries, and trust that you deserve abundance. "Embrace the fiery spirit of Aries season as a catalyst for bold beginnings and fearless self-discovery. Channel your inner warrior, seize the reins of destiny, and fearlessly pioneer your path towards greatness. Let courage be your compass, passion your fuel, and authenticity your guiding star. In the crucible of Aries energy, dare to be unapologetically yourself, unafraid to blaze trails, conquer fears, and ignite the flames of transformation. Embrace the power of now, for in the fierce embrace of the Ram, every moment is an opportunity to rise, reignite, and realise your wildest dreams." ☀️ Stepping into this way of working with life—where you consciously grow, pay attention to the signs, and take ownership of your journey—can feel both exciting and overwhelming.

A Neptunian tale of fire, faith, and becoming There are moments in life that don’t unfold, they reveal . Moments when time folds in on itself and you find yourself pierced by a knowing that isn’t logical, but absolute. A presence. A remembering. A conversation with something so vast and tender it breaks you open. These moments don’t arrive with fireworks. They slip in quietly: through a feeling, a colour in the sky, the hush of the sea. A trembling in your chest that says: this matters , even if you don’t yet know why. And when it comes, you can’t unknow it. You might try. You might question your sanity. But it leaves a mark. A shimmer on the edges of the real. One such moment came for me by the sea, in a place carved from light and salt and myth. I’d gone there alone, not knowing what I was seeking, only knowing that something in me was ready to change. I wandered. I wept. And then, out of the stillness, something arrived. A message. A memory. A truth beyond time. It told me what I’d forgotten I already knew. That love is eternal. That the sacred isn’t imagined. That some connections arrive not to complete us, but to wake us up. That moment didn’t give me what I thought I wanted. But it gave me everything I needed. It was the beginning. Of seeking. Of remembering. Of shedding everything I thought I had to be in order to become who I truly am. And it came not from a book or a teacher, but from within. From the voice I’d always carried, but hadn’t yet dared to trust. That was my Neptunian moment. A moment when the personal and the divine met on a bench overlooking the ocean. And now, as Neptune enters Aries, we are all being invited into our own version of that initiation. Neptune in Aries: The Fire of Feeling Neptune is not a God who speaks in certainties. He weaves longing into dreams and truth into illusion. He dissolves the edges. Aries, ruled by Mars, is fire. Mars is God of action, courage, and will. Aries is the sign of the pioneer, the adventurer, the fire starter. And when Neptune enters Aries, it’s not a straight road. It’s a mystical reckoning. This is the start of a 12-year cycle. A new collective dream. A new way of being. It asks us: Can we stand in our truth, even when it makes no sense to others? Can we follow our inner knowing, even when it scares us? Can we take sacred action without controlling the outcome? Neptune in Aries calls us to spiritual bravery . To be the sacred warrior. The quiet rebel. To act not for victory, but for alignment. And Yet, There Is a Shadow Because when Neptune meets Mars, there’s also confusion. Burnout. Delusion dressed as purpose. Passion that slips into obsession. The fire can fizzle into fog. The quest can become a mirage. You might feel it as: A deep restlessness in the chest. A desire to act… but nowhere clear to land. Waves of exhaustion. Or tears out of nowhere. Longing that doesn’t quite make sense. Neptune teaches that even the fog is sacred. Even the ache is part of the way home. Because when you stop pushing, and start listening, something else comes through. A whisper. A pull. A presence. Not loud. But unmistakable. What Might Form in Our Reality? Under this sky, we’re not being asked to perform or prove. We’re being asked to become . Not a brand. Not a curated identity. But a selfhood rooted in spirit. A self that acts not from fear, but from soul. We may begin to see: A rise in spiritual activism - movements that marry healing with action. More people walking away from productivity-fuelled burnout to choose softer, slower paths. A call to redefine masculinity through compassion, presence, and heart. A shedding of outdated roles and the slow emergence of who we truly are. This is not a trend. It’s a soul cycle. This is the fire of becoming. We’ve Been Here Before Neptune last moved through Aries from 1861 to 1875 . That era held revolution, spiritualism, civil war, and profound shifts in thought. Mysticism and activism rose side by side. It was a time when visions of liberation collided with the realities of injustice, and demanded brave response. Today, the terrain is different, but the questions are the same. What does freedom mean? Who are you, really , beneath the expectations? And are you willing to let go of the illusion to become who you came here to be? Because this time, the fight is quieter. The battlefield is internal. The chains are less visible, but no less real. A Few Words of Soul Advice From someone who’s walked the fog, sat on the bench, and let the tears come… 🌊 Let yourself cry at the beauty.  Don’t push it away. That’s where the sacred lives. 🔥 Be brave enough to act on your knowing.  Even if your voice shakes. 🌀 When things don’t unfold as expected, trust anyway.  Neptune won’t give you a straight path, but He will  give you the one that transforms you. 🌱 Come back to your breath.  Let the still point behind your forehead guide you. 💭 Question your impulse to fight.  Is it truth? Or illusion? Not all fire is sacred. 💓 Be kind to yourself when you feel lost.  You’re not off-course. You’re in the tide. Where Is This Landing in You? Neptune in Aries will touch each of us differently, depending on where Aries falls in your birth chart. This is your first expedition into the fire. A chance to awaken something brave and sacred within. And then, later this year, Neptune will drift back into Pisces one final time. Not to undo, but to let everything you’ve encountered begin to settle. To let the lessons sink in through osmosis, like water into soil. The final dream dissolving. The last tether being released. So for now, notice . Let these questions guide your awareness as you begin walking with this new sky: Aries Rising Your very sense of self is being softened and reformed. Who you are. How you move through the world. What it means to be you . This is the melting of old identities and the invitation to emerge as your truest self. No mask, no performance. 🌱 Where am I still pretending? Who do I become when I stop trying to be anything at all? Taurus Rising The inner world calls. Solitude, mystery, surrender. Old wounds may whisper again, not to punish you, but to free you. This is a sacred undoing. 🌱 What am I ready to lay down at the altar of stillness? What comes to meet me in silence? Gemini Rising Your dreams are shifting. Your communities. Your sense of where you belong. You’re being asked to find your true people, your tribe, not through popularity, but soul resonance. 🌱 Who really sees me? And what happens when I let myself be seen just as I am? Cancer Rising Your calling is being reimagined. What success means. Why you work. You’re not here to climb a ladder, you’re here to offer  something. 🌱 What would it mean to let my work be my prayer? Who am I serving when I show up fully? Leo Rising Your beliefs are dissolving to make room for deeper truths. The spiritual becomes practical. Your quest becomes personal. This is a time to follow the golden thread. 🌱 What do I believe in now, not because I was taught to, but because I’ve lived it? Virgo Rising You’re being invited to soften in the places you grip. Trust. Intimacy. Power. You’re learning how to merge without losing yourself. 🌱 Where am I still holding on out of fear? What would trust look like if it were sacred, not naïve? Libra Rising Your relationships are becoming holy mirrors. You may meet someone who awakens your spirit, or leave someone who dims your light. But the true union starts within. 🌱 What does my inner beloved need from me now? How can I show up as my own divine counterpart? Scorpio Rising Your days, habits, and rhythms are being re-enchanted. This is sacred routine. Ritualised work. Devotion disguised as daily life. 🌱 How can I make space for the sacred in the smallest of things? What wants to be tended, not achieved? Sagittarius Rising Your fire is being reignited, but it’s not performative. It’s creative. Childlike. Divine. Pleasure becomes a portal. Joy, a form of prayer. 🌱 What delights me purely for its own sake? When was the last time I played? Capricorn Rising Your roots are being watered with spirit. Family, home, and history are being rewritten—not erased, but seen differently. The sacred begins in your foundation. 🌱 What am I ready to heal in the lineage I carry? What does home feel like in my body? Aquarius Rising Your thoughts become rivers. Language softens. The mind dreams instead of solves. You may find poetry where once there was strategy. 🌱 What happens when I stop explaining myself and start expressing what’s true? Pisces Rising Your sense of worth is being untethered from the material. Money, value, security—these are being redefined through soul. 🌱 Where do I still believe I must earn my worth? What if I was already enough, even in the stillness? Let yourself live these questions. You don’t have to answer them with words. Let your body speak. Let your days unfold in response. And know, this is only the beginning . When Neptune returns to Pisces later this year, He will bring the waters. Let them soak into the soil of what you’ve begun. Let the lessons steep. Let your spirit root. You are both dreamer and flame. And this is your time to become .

When Venus Meets Saturn: The Hard Conversations About Worth 24th April 2025: I’ve been living with the conversation between Venus and Saturn in real time. It’s not just an abstract concept, or something I read in a chart, this one is personal. There’s a conjunction above us in the sky right now between these two Gods, and it’s the third in a series. Venus and Saturn don’t rush things, they ask us to revisit, to reflect, to reckon. And lately, money has been the reckoning. I’ve been feeling the pressure building for months, but this weekend, it hit a breaking point. Two big birthdays for my kids this pay check, months, nay years of bigger bills and unexpected expenses. But none of this is new. Money has been a limiting factor in my life, and my relationship with it has been difficult, for as long as I can remember. I'm not known for being good with money. In fact, I'm known as the opposite. By Sunday, I was down to nothing. Every card maxed out. Every account hitting the overdraft limit. And that deep, familiar feeling of helplessness creeping in. I couldn’t bring myself to ask my parents to help again, though I know they would. It’s not pride. It’s shame. And that old programming whispering, you should be able to manage this on your own. It all felt impossible. Until, out of nowhere, The Universe stepped in. On Monday, three astrology readings: booked, paid, and dropped straight into my account. Just enough to get me through. Just enough to keep going. Relief. And awe. That even when it all feels impossible. That this will be the moment it breaks. It all falls apart. Miracles happen. And though I know this happens. It's happened before. Staying in that place of trust and flow is hard. Especially when it all gets so close to catastrophe. Because as much as I’ve worked with the energy of money, years of self-inquiry, shadow work, trust practices, surrender, I still wobble. I still get scared. It still feels fragile, like the whole thing could collapse if I stop trying so hard to hold it all together. But this is what Venus is teaching me now. Through Saturn. Through structure and scarcity and what’s real. That this isn’t just about money. It’s about worth . And the stories we carry. It’s about growing up in a household where money was always tight. Where we learned that needing help was a weakness. Where “we can’t afford it” was on repeat like a family motto. This is where Venus and Saturn are meeting in my chart. Not in the stars, but in my bones. Venus says, You are worthy. Saturn says, Prove it, by changing the structure of your beliefs. Venus says, Receive with grace. Saturn asks, Can you hold it, consistently, without fear it will vanish? So I’m sitting with this question: How do I rewire what I believe about money and worth? How do I transform my experience into one where money flows and I am secure and safe? How do I balance what I receive, and what I spend, without launching erratically from some, to none? And from gratitude to anxiety. And I’m turning to the skies for support. Because astrology isn’t just a mirror, it’s a map. A way home. And Venus, in all her wisdom, is helping me trace a new path. Not through pushing harder or budgeting better, but through healing . Through saying: I am worthy of support. Of ease. Of beauty and flow. Even if I’ve never known it before. Even if my parents didn’t model it. Even if my bank balance doesn’t yet reflect it. Even if part of me still doesn’t fully believe it. I’m willing to learn. And if you are too, maybe this is our invitation, to remember that Venus doesn’t want us to suffer. She wants us to thrive. She wants us to feel secure. To flow. To know that we are valuable. Not because of what we earn or produce, but because we exist . 💎 Venus and the Energy of Abundance We often think of Venus as the Goddess of romance, beauty, and art, and she is. But she is also the keeper of magnetism , pleasure , value , and abundance . Venus teaches us how to receive  what we desire, not through striving or proving, but through remembering that we are already worthy. She is linked to money not because she governs hard work, but because she rules what we value , and that includes how we value ourselves. Venus rules Taurus, the sign most connected to physical comfort, possessions, and survival made beautiful. 🌀 Why We Block the Flow When Venus is compromised in our chart, or wounded by life, we often find ourselves: Overgiving or overworking to feel worthy Undervaluing our time or skills Avoiding pleasure, softness, or support Living in fear of not having enough (for those familiar with the tarot this is Four of Pentacles energy) We brace. We tighten. We try to control. And in doing so, we block the very flow we long for. Because the truth is: money is energy. So is love. Both respond not to effort, but to alignment . When we live in fear, we repel. When we remember our worth, we receive. 🌸 The Venusian Way Here’s what I’ve learned: Venus doesn’t strive to prove her value.   She doesn’t burn herself out trying to earn what should be given freely. She doesn’t live on a tight budget out of fear. She delights in quality, comfort, and beauty, not as indulgence, but as truth . But many of us have forgotten we’re allowed to live like that. We’ve been told that wanting more is selfish. That desire is dangerous. That ease must be justified. So we stay small, thinking we’re being sensible, when really, we’re cutting ourselves off from the flow. Venus wants more for us. Not in a grasping way, but in a soulful  way. She wants us to receive, not because we’ve earned it, but because it’s already ours. When we return to the truth: I am valuable. I am worthy. I am enough Something shifts. The fear softens. And the flow begins again. Money starts showing up differently. So does love. So does life. It’s not magic. It’s resonance. You don’t draw in what you want. You draw in what you believe you are . 🌿 Your Birth Chart as a Map to Receiving We’re all born with a kind of energetic fingerprint, a cosmic map that reveals what we value, how we receive, and what stories we’ve inherited around love and money. Venus sits at the centre of this. She whispers about beauty and desire, not just romantically, but in every part of life. And sometimes, she’s tangled in old stories: “You’re not allowed to have more.” “You have to earn love.” “You can’t have both love and money.” These stories live in our bones, but they aren’t the truth. The chart doesn’t limit you, it reveals you . It shows the energy you were born into, not as punishment, but as invitation. Even the hard parts can be alchemised. 🌸 Venus Wants You to Receive You don’t need to understand all the technicalities of astrology to feel your Venus. But if you’re curious, your chart can gently show you: Where your Venus lives: what part of life she lights up How she’s feeling: strong and supported, or strained and hidden What stories have shaped your ability to receive Where your self-worth may need remembering There are places in your chart that long for ease, beauty, and flow. Venus is already there, waiting for you to listen. To dive more into the technicalities and analyse Venus in your chart read this blog post. 🌀 You Live in a Universe That Wants to Support You Somewhere along the way, we learned to live in fear. We were told money is scarce, that love must be earned, that ease is indulgent. But that’s not the truth. That’s just the programming. Scripture says: Seek first the Kingdom, and all these things shall be added unto you. The new age space echoes: Money flows to where it is welcomed. Love flows to where it is safe. You don’t need to chase abundance. You need to unblock what’s already yours . Your job isn’t to strive endlessly or fix yourself. It’s to get curious about what’s in the way, and gently let it go. 🌸 Practices to Open the Way for Abundance These aren’t tasks to tick off a list. They’re invitations to come back to yourself. 🕯 1. Tend to Beauty, Even in Small Ways Venus speaks through the senses. She loves beauty, not as luxury, but as sacredness made visible. Make a corner of your home lovely, just for you. Light a candle while paying your bills. Sweep the floor as an act of devotion, not drudgery. Wear something soft that makes you feel yourself again. This isn't about aesthetics. It's about remembering pleasure is allowed. ✍️ 2. Write a Letter to Money Start with: “Dear Money, I’m sorry I…”“I forgive you for…”“I’m ready to…” Let it all pour out, the anger, the fear, the longing. Then write back, as Money itself. Let it speak to you. This clears the channel. It reminds you that money is not your enemy. It’s energy. A conversation. A mirror. 🧘‍♀️ 3. Practice Receiving, One Moment at a Time If you’re used to doing everything alone, this can feel foreign. But Venus isn’t interested in martyrdom. She wants you to let it in . Pause when someone compliments you. Accept help without apology. Say yes when ease is offered—even if your instinct is to say no. Every time you let yourself receive without guilt, you open the channel wider. 🌿 4. Walk With Venus Pick one Venus hour a week (or just a quiet moment on a Friday) and do something only  for the joy of it. Not to be productive. Not to tick a box. But to remind your nervous system what safety and sweetness feel like. Some ideas: Walk somewhere beautiful and do nothing but notice Eat slowly and really taste it Listen to music that makes your heart ache (in the good way) Anoint your body with oil, like you would a beloved 💫 5. Rewrite the Spell Much of what blocks abundance lives in our language. We speak fear into form without realising. Start noticing how you talk about money: “I can’t afford that.” “That’s too expensive.” “I’ll never get ahead.” These are spells . Begin gently rewriting them: “That’s not aligned right now, but I trust it will come.” “Money flows in when I follow what feels true.” “I honour my resources and allow more in.” You don’t have to fake positivity. Just soften the edges. Speak to possibility. 🦋 6. Remember Who You Were Before the World Told You 'No' This is the deepest work of all. Sit with the version of you who knew  you were worthy. Before school. Before bills. Before heartbreak. Before shame. That younger self still lives in you, holding the key. Ask her: What did I want? What did I know? What did I trust, back then? She hasn’t gone anywhere. She's just been waiting for you to remember. You Are Not Asking for Too Much You are not greedy. Or selfish. Or naïve. Wanting love and money, ease and beauty, joy and security, it isn’t too much . It’s what your soul came here to experience. And Venus is here to help you remember how. You don’t have to chase. Just stop resisting. You don’t have to earn. Just return. The flow is waiting. 🌸 You Are Worthy of More Than Just Enough Venus doesn’t ask you to strive. She doesn’t test your worth. She simply invites you to remember. Your beauty. Your value. Your innate belonging in a world that was made to support you. Love and money are not in conflict. They are both currents of the same river, flowing toward you when you trust that you are ready to receive. You don’t have to do more. You only have to soften. And let it in.

🌸 A Ritual for Receiving This is a ritual to help you soften, slow down, and remember that you are already enough. Whether you've found your way here through a post on Venus, money, and self-worth , or you simply felt called to deepen your connection to the Goddess of Love, you're in the right place. Venus teaches us that we don’t have to strive or chase to be worthy. Love and abundance aren’t rewards for being good. They are natural expressions of our true essence. This ritual is an invitation to return to that truth. All you need is a quiet space, an open heart, and a willingness to receive. Let’s begin . This is a moment to slow down. To step out of fear and into devotion. To remember that abundance isn’t something you chase, it’s something you allow. You can do this ritual at an altar, in bed, in the bath, or outside in nature. There is no wrong way. Just bring your presence , your breath , and your willingness to open . Abundance comes in many forms ✨ You’ll Need: A candle (green, pink, or white is lovely - but use what you have) Something beautiful: a flower, a shell, a scarf, a fruit - anything that feels Venusian A coin or note, to symbolise material flow A journal or piece of paper 🕯 The Ritual 1. Prepare your space. Clear a small area. Light your candle. Place your beautiful object and your money beside it. Let this be a small offering: a gesture of beauty and value. 2. Call Her In. Close your eyes. Breathe deeply. Say aloud or silently: Venus, Goddess of Love and Abundance, I invite you into this moment. Help me remember that I am already whole. That I am already worthy. That I am supported by a universe that wants me to thrive. Clear the fear that lives in me. Open the door to receiving. I no longer resist what is meant for me. I welcome love. I welcome money. I welcome beauty and ease and joy. Thank you for walking with me. Thank you for showing me how. 3. Speak Your Desire. Whisper or write down what you’re ready to call in. Be specific or be simple. Example: “I am ready to experience more flow.” “I want to trust there is enough.” “I am open to earning in ways that feel true.” Offer your desire to Venus. Let it be heard. 4. Offer and Close. Hold the money in your hand and say: May this symbol of wealth be blessed. May what flows in flow freely, and may I use it with love. May I always remember that the true treasure is already within. Blow out the candle. Keep the money somewhere special, or spend it intentionally, offering it back into the flow. This is a remembering, not a performance. Every time you do it, you’re building a relationship with the part of you that already knows how to receive. Venus is not outside of you. She is  you. And she is waiting for you to come home.
