When life gets tough, purposely seeking joy matters and it can be simple. Highly recommend the book, Joyful: The Surprising Power of Ordinary Things to Create Extraordinary Happiness Book by Ingrid Fetell Lee.

This is very bad.

Hey Orleans Parish folks, don’t forget to vote today! Lots of Important stuff on the ballot.

Creativity thrives in New Orleans, seen in Bywater.

Dominoes start falling in October. Here is what you need to know about the biggest planetary pattern in the 4th quarter of 2025. open.substack.com/pub/astrolog...

If you’re awake before sunrise, look for Jupiter next to the Moon and Venus shining brightly lower on the Eastern horizon. It’s quite the show. The two bright stars to the left of the Moon are Castor & Pollux, twins associated with writers / writing.

I had a cancellation today so I have one open appt at 12:30 pm Central for an astrology session. I usually require 24 hrs to book but making it available now.

Saturn-ruled people are my jam. When I look at natal charts with Capricorn & Aquarius Ascendant or luminaries, this deep recognition and empathy arises. 🖤🐐

Hey there #nolasky PSA:: Grief Support Groups in Metairie Peer-run in a lovely, tranquil space Various days of the week Connect & support each other during these turbulent times

I am about to find out. Sept 17 is the turn. Happy Uranus station day!

Here is the link to my New Orleans fall forecast: astrologywithdenise.substack.com/p/fall-2025-...

The Fall forecast for New Orleans is published, based on my analysis of the Libra Ingress. It includes a brief discussion of the Mayoral race and the top 3 candidates. It’s free to read on Substack (which I am am unhappy about, but I have not had time to find a better solution).

Re-posting for no reason: New Orleans has recorded fewer murders through August this year than any year since 1970 (includes Jan 1).

I’ll be at Mystic tomorrow if you’d like to check in or get your first astrology reading! #NOLAsky

We’ve been working diligently on the Sept 2025 issue of The Evolving Astrologer magazine, and it’s gonna be good! A focus on family ties + two new quarterly columns. Watch for it at the Equinox. 🌅

Hey #NOLAsky, I am doing discounted astrology readings in Metairie this Saturday. See you there?

In the spirit of shaking things up, I’m taking an improv comedy class for eclipse season. This Virgo stellium native is diving into the Piscean unknown. Maybe it will be fun!

Want a free New Moon workbook? I make a physical handout every month for my workshop at Wild Lotus Yoga. The August one is available for immediate download at my website if you're interested. Click on the Services tab and scroll down; you'll see it. www.astrologywithdenise.com

I get a kick out of mundane tarot connections. Card of the day: 7 of Cups, associated with Venus in Scorpio decan 3 which I call “sloppy”. Ten minutes later, the handle on my bidet breaks. 🤣

The oil industry's Alliance to End Plastic Waste was created to "change the conversation – away from short-term simplistic bans of plastic," documents reveal unearthed.greenpeace.org/2024/11/20/a...

FRIENDLY REMINDER: There is too much plastic in the water because we keep putting water in plastic. Right now, we have a vital chance to cut plastic production - through a legally binding Global Plastics Treaty. But plastic loving lobbyists are trying to sabotage the treaty. ⁠

It is me. Only the difficult people I choose though, not all difficult people.

This makes me giggle every time I watch. My best friend took my dog for a walk while I was at work. Sound on!

The President was inaugurated at the Sun-Pluto conjunction, surrounded by tech bros. It’s hilarious and fitting that the makers of South Park used AI tech to oppose him at the Sun-Pluto opposition.

If only contemporary life would allow us all to rest at the balsamic moon. It’s truly all I want to do today. 🌑

On the morning of 12 August there will be a telescopically close conjunction of Venus and Jupiter, the brightest planets in the night sky. Also all four of Jupiter's Galilean moons will be visible too. Fantastic observing and photographic opportunity. 🔭 🧪

Is there a good Android app for tracking lunar mansions? I use iLuna on my iPhone.

Class starts 12:30 pm central time today but it will be recorded. You can register until Wed & catch up with us.

Question for other Horary Astrologers: What house would you associate with students when you consider a teacher & students as group? Would you consider Mercury as a natural ruler?

This summer’s business investments? Replace laptop, learn new Nechepso software, and add more automations to help me with financial mgmt.

Last summer I invested resources in a client management platform (PaperBell) and automations to handle much of the routine admin work for my Astrology business. Thank you, Past Denise, great move!

It’s kinda crazy that university students pay thousands for my writing guidance and astrologers can get it in my 3 week Masterclass at Kepler College for only $195. Class starts 7/12.

Last week I had a fun conversation with Misty Lane about the birth charts of some successful astrology writers. Check it out! youtu.be/qpibMu29GRY?...

I’ve been thinking about the 2023-2024 eclipses. 🥺 www.space.com/where-to-sta...

Forcing people to have a job in order to get health insurance is just another form of indentured servitude.

This morning I had the pleasure to join Misty Lane of @keplercollege for “Let’s Talk Astrology” (released soon!) We looked at natal charts for 5 well-known astrology authors to see what significant placements showed up. What mode & signs would you expect?

Soaking in the tub while listening to Jupiter’s hymn from the Planets on repeat is a lovely way to end this day. 10/10 would do again

The Evolving Astrologer magazine represents diverse voices and it is open access. Anyone can submit articles but it’s a competitive review. Sometimes people assume it is an Evolutionary Astrology focus - it’s not! The name represents our own growth and change as a profession.
