It’s Small Business Saturday, and that means a sale in my Etsy shop, where a lot of my original art and hand knits are available at 25% off as alternatives to buying from the big box stores that are currently targets of the economic blackout. This sale lasts through Tuesday, December 2nd. I deeply appreciate your support of my creative efforts! Handmade gifts support actual human creators and make the world a cozier place. 💜

Gift Cards Available!

For those looking to get something special for loved ones, nothing can make our beloveds feel more seen and appreciated than giving the gift of self-understanding via astrology and Tarot, tools that aid us in getting clarity about what we really want out of life and how to get it. And nothing makes that easier than Icon Alchemy electronic gift cards, good for my astrology and Tarot consulting/tutoring services and for custom artwork and hand-crafting. 🙂

Astrology Video: Planets Stationing Direct November 2025

For the first half of November, the majority of the major planets have been retrograde, which can feel like it’s holding us back from making forward progress in the external world, as we are encouraged to be more introspective and reassess the topics of those planets.

But this week has brought two planets stationing direct, Saturn in Pisces and Mercury in Scorpio, on the heels of the goddess asteroid Ceres stationing direct in Aries last week. As these planets are stationing, we are more aware of the topics they govern, with plenty of opportunities for that awareness to reveal what is out of order. And as they pick up speed and we move through the post-retrograde shadow, there will be opportunities to wrap up our internal work on those topics, the better to make real progress as we apply the lessons we’ve been learning during their retrogrades.

My friend and fellow astrologer Liz Muschett invited me back onto her show The Astrology Star Sisters to talk about it all. Please give us a listen and let us know what you think!

Upcoming Events

For those who prefer their astrology and Tarot readings in-person, I’ll be reading Tarot and selling art at the PNW Witches’ Market Yule Celebration in Issaquah, Washington state December 5th-7th. My Events page has all the details!
