Why the Milky Way Was Born From Rejection (and So Were You)

Astrology has a wicked sense of humor. Just when we think we’re coasting with a benefic transit, the chart flips the script and reminds us that every blessing has its bruise. Welcome to Jupiter in Cancer square Chiron retrograde in Aries—the celestial mashup of comfort food and combat boots, of safety nets and slingshots, of milk and madness.

The Sun in Scorpio: Staring Down Medusa Without Turning to Stone

Every year, the Sun makes its slow dive into Scorpio’s waters, and the vibe changes instantly. Gone are Libra’s pleasantries and decorative charm. Scorpio season is when the light goes surgical—it penetrates, it exposes, it strips things bare until only the truth remains. It’s not casual. It’s not polite. It’s not “let’s grab a latte and chat about your feelings.” Scorpio season is the cosmic equivalent of CSI: Soul Edition.

Cosmic Courtroom: How the Libra New Moon Resets the Scales

When a New Moon rolls into Libra, the entire zodiac suddenly fancies itself a Supreme Court Justice, gavel in one hand and scales in the other. But this isn’t just any justice—it’s the type that lives deep in our bones, in the marrow of our psychic DNA.

A Little History Before the Haunting

Before we get to haunted hotels and typewriters gone mad, let’s rewind the clock. Samhain (pronounced sow-in) is the ancient Celtic fire festival marking the end of harvest and the beginning of winter—the hinge of the year when the living and the dead cross each other’s paths like ships in the fog. It was the original Halloween, minus the Spirit Halloween pop-up stores and pumpkin spice lattes.

Aphrodite’s Golden Apple: How Venus in Libra Tests Our Choices in Love

When Venus slides into Libra, she isn’t just returning home — she’s throwing open the doors of her marble-columned salon, lighting every candle, and inviting us all to sip champagne while debating the finer points of art, love, and social justice. This is Venus in her Urania form: refined, proportionate, and a little smug about her ability to turn chaos into civility with nothing more than a raised eyebrow.

Hermes at the River Styx: Navigating Mercury’s Darkest Transit

There are times when astrology feels like it’s handing us a scented candle and some rose quartz, and then there are times when the skies look at us and mutter, “We need to talk.” Mercury’s transit through Scorpio falls firmly in the latter category.
