The Horror of Horoscopes

I sometimes talk about astrology on this newsletter, even though it is not my expertise. I share the information because I see how it has great value.

My goal is for people to use the upcoming alignments to shape our paths in a positive direction, instead of getting stuck in fear cycles around transits that so many hobbyists slip into.

I understand why some people dislike astrology. It has a power that is sometimes misapplied.

Some people use it to attack others, ‘Oh I don’t date Leos anymore.’
Or, ‘You’re a Scorpio? Ugh, that must be hard.’

These are dismissive presumptions that we already know someone, without doing the work to learn who they are more fully.

The more you comprehend about actual charts, the more the Sun sign becomes a small detail in a big picture.

Self Care is Community Care

Even in this individualistic Western culture, many of us were taught to put others ahead of ourselves.

At first, this switch felt selfish to me.

Then, I witnessed my loving friends drain their vivacity in over-giving.

I saw how people came to rely on them and slowed their own self-reliance.

I saw the givers become resentful and sometimes shut off the support completely. 

The tarot has a lot of cards about balance, and this is an area that often is skewed for many of us. 

It’s essential that you show up for others, yes. It’s also imperative that you offer what feels sustainable so there’s energy left over for your own growth.

Transform Stress with Mindfulness and Divination

Stress infiltrates our choices.

We might panic and rush into a decision too quickly.

Sometimes we blow up at people from a past hurt that the person standing in front of us may not have even caused.

Stress makes us hyper self-protect and shut down.

There is a lot of stress right now for many of us, and I find that learning new tools to access our higher self is one of the most powerful ways to stay centered in tough times.

The intuitive and divination arts are a pathway to uplevel in your mindfulness techniques.

Intuitive Charm: Free Reading and a Lesson

It delights me when someone witnesses their own inherent ability to be more psychic.

We all have innate gift, we simply need to learn the ways to better access it.

Today, I offer a free reading in charms with a lesson in interpreting. I will share the message I see, and I also welcome you to answer the questions to sort out your own clarity from the spread.

Also, if you have not yet told me, let me know when you would be most available to join the live online Art of Tarot Course that I will be leading in May.

This winter, the team of professionals at Portlandia Fortune Tellers will lead two-hour lessons in various fields of the esoteric arts.

The 2nd Sunday of every month we will offer classes both online and in-person in Portland.
