Not what your upbringing taught you to want.
Not what your partner, family, or society expects of you.
What do 𝘆𝗼𝘂 desire?

This is a time to recognize where you've compromised yourself, where relationships support your authentic identity, and where something may need to shift.

In 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝟭𝟬-𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴, I'll explore
where Venus retrograde is activating your birth chart,
the deeper patterns asking for your attention,
and a conscious next step to help you move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

This isn't about making immediate decisions. It's about understanding yourself more deeply so your next choices reflect who you are becoming.

Your personalized 10-minute voice recording will be delivered directly to your email within 24 hours AFTER your scheduled booking time.

Sometimes, all it takes is one insight to see something differently.

Through my personalized astrology readings, clients have discovered the small adjustment that opened a new direction in their business, found the confidence to trust their intuition, recognized patterns that have kept them stuck for years, and gained clarity about what truly matters to them.

One client realized that her seemingly unrelated projects were all connected to a larger purpose.
Another found the confidence to trust herself and her direction in business.
Others have discovered that what they thought needed fixing simply needed to be understood differently.

That's the intention behind these 10-minute voice recordings.

Not to tell you what to do, but to help you recognize what is already asking for your attention and offer a conscious next step.

Because sometimes the shift isn't about changing your whole life. It's about seeing yourself, your choices, and your possibilities through a different lens.

The Wheel of the Year is a sacred cycle of eight seasonal festivals, known as Sabbats. Each marks a turning point in the relationship between the earth, the sun and the changing seasons.

Yule welcomes the return of the light. Imbolc carries the first signs of awakening. Ostara celebrates balance and new growth. Beltane brings fertility, passion and abundance. Litha honours the sun at the height of its power. Lughnasadh begins the harvest. Mabon pauses in gratitude as light and darkness meet once more. Samhain closes the cycle, honouring death, remembrance and the mysteries beyond the veil.

Together, these festivals tell a story that nature repeats endlessly: birth, growth, fullness, decline, death and rebirth.

The Wheel does not ask us to remain endlessly productive or bright. It teaches that blooming and withering are equally sacred. There are seasons for creating, celebrating and gathering and seasons for releasing, grieving and withdrawing into the dark.

Nothing in nature stays the same forever, yet nothing is truly wasted. The fallen leaf feeds the soil. The empty field rests beneath winter. The longest night quietly carries the promise of dawn.

The Wheel keeps turning, and we turn with it.

This isn't a 90-minute astrology lecture.
And you don't need to know anything about astrology to come.

We'll begin by arriving and grounding together.
We'll take a mini-walk around my Peace Wheel and use it as a way of observing the different areas and relationships in our lives.

I'll teach about the Equinox, Virgo's discernment, the harvest, and the astrology carrying us toward the September 26 Aries Full Moon.

Then you'll do your own work.
𝗞𝗘𝗘𝗣
What is thriving? What supports me? What deserves continued tending?
𝗥𝗘𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗘
What has completed its season? What no longer fits? What am I ready to stop giving energy to?
𝗖𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗘
What wants room in my actual life now?

We'll move into guided meditation and ceremony and then bring what you've discovered back into practical intention for autumn.

You can also bring your birth chart if you'd like another lens for considering where these themes may be showing up personally.

You don't need to arrive with answers.

50% work.
50% home.

50% me.
50% everyone else.

Equal amounts of doing and resting.

Life doesn't work that way.
𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲.

There are seasons when family needs more.
Seasons when work asks more of us.
Seasons when the body says, No. I need more rest.
Seasons when something inside us says, I've been waiting long enough. It's my turn.

The question isn't:
How do I make everything equal?
It's:
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘄?

That's part of why I love the Equinox as a threshold.

Light and dark bring us into a conversation about balance, but we get to take that conversation out of the abstract and into our actual lives.

Self ↔ relationships
Work ↔ home
Doing ↔ resting
Responsibility ↔ desire

𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗻’𝘁 𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘂𝗿𝗲.

Some of it was information.

The thing you planted that never really took off.

The thing that bloomed beautifully for a season and is now complete.

The thing that’s technically still alive, but takes far more energy than you want to keep giving it.

And then there are the things that surprised you.

The ones that grew beyond anything you expected.

A garden doesn’t ask us to label everything 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 or 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘂𝗿𝗲.

It asks us to pay attention.

What thrived?

What required enormous effort for very little return?

What do you want more of?

What has completed its season?

And what are you still tending simply because it’s already there?

I’ve been thinking about these questions far beyond the garden.

Because we do this in our lives, too.

We keep tending commitments, roles, routines, relationships, expectations, even versions of ourselves, sometimes without stopping to ask:

𝗗𝗼 𝗜 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀?

That’s one of the gifts of the Equinox.

A threshold.

A moment to look at what this season of your life has actually produced - not with judgment, but with curiosity.

🍂 On Monday, September 21, I’m gathering a small group around my Peace Wheel for a 90-minute 𝗙𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗘𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗻𝗼𝘅 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽 & 𝗖𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘆: 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽. 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲. 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲.

We’ll work with the energy of the Equinox and approaching Aries Full Moon through teaching, reflection, guided meditation, and ceremony.

Not to blow up your life.

Not to force a reinvention.

But to listen closely enough to recognize what deserves your energy in the season ahead.

A commitment.
A role.
An expectation.
A relationship dynamic.
A way of working.
A story about who I'm supposed to be.
A habit that once served me.

Sometimes something isn't obviously “bad.”
It just isn't what we want to keep cultivating.

And that's harder.

Because letting go is much easier to justify when something is clearly broken.

But what about something that simply doesn't fit anymore?
That's discernment.

And it's one of the things I want us to practice together at the Equinox.

Not:
What should I get rid of?
But:
What deserves my finite time, attention, energy and care in the season ahead?

The lavender tools I create through Goodness Remedies aren't meant to do the returning for you.

They're sensory anchors that can remind you to practice it.

Because the goal isn't to never get pulled away from yourself.
The returning is the practice. 🌿

𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗮𝘆.
And now we're reaching the point where the new routines are becoming real.
Which means children may start showing us where some of those routines don't quite fit.

Here's something Montessori has taught me:
𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

That doesn't mean every boundary disappears because a child doesn't like it.
A younger child may need more independence inside an existing routine.
A teenager may need boundaries, but different boundaries than three years ago.

𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙨...
t𝙝𝙚 𝙖𝙙𝙪𝙡𝙩 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚 𝙩𝙤𝙤.
Before correcting the behavior, observe.
Before adding another rule, get curious.

Ask:
What has changed here that our current structure hasn't caught up with yet?
What might this behavior be communicating?
What skill is still developing?
Where could independence and clear boundaries coexist?

The prepared environment has to evolve with the human being living inside it.
That includes our homes.

And maybe one of our hardest jobs as adults is discerning:
What is mine to hold and what do I need to allow them to learn to hold for themselves?
