It’s so interesting to get a sense of the sign and decans I collect the most when those random weeks of the year I’ve got something like ten birthdays going on around me.

Wow, lots coming to the surface with regard to my old life (before 30) in this very moment. Is it the nodes right on the asc/dsc? The angular mercury-mars of it all? Maybe the Aries stellium with sun-Saturn and Venus-Chiron, or the moon crossing Jupiter over my own natal asc??? Who can say?! 😱

See a flower, share a flower 🌸 (From this weekend’s camping trip)

There is longing to be seen.

Sometimes rest is not enough.

One of the things I like best about working with clients long term is the ability to remind them of how they were feeling six months to a year ago. To affirm the progress they’ve made when it’s so easy for us to forget what life was like when we were feeling crummy. To see with clearer perspective.

"The results are astonishingly clear. On rewilded land, biodiversity surged across the board, with the number of bird species up 261%. The variety of bumblebee and butterfly species more than doubled, their abundance increased over 10x." The cure for nature loss exists. share.google/w30RUdw1902W...

I feel like I heard an herbalist share this previously, but as I make a tissue repairing powder with Ru Xiong (frankincense) & Mo Yao (Myrrh) I can’t help but think of the three Wise Men who brought these resins as a gift to Mary for the birth of Jesus. Gifts that would help her in recovery.

Watching a three year old, who’s mercury is activated through profection, a planet who aspects Uranus, and her suddenly making up her own language for daily use.

The fact that I stuck my finger in literal shit while gardening as Jupiter crossed the asc at Jupiter hour today, when Jupiter is out of orb of any aspects to the malefics, adds merit (for me) to my thoughts on the nature of Jupiter as not being wholly benefic.

1) …when people ask me “what herb is good for” the answer is always “it depends.” “Anxiety” for example, means different things for different people in different situations with different life histories. “Can’t sleep,” there’s a lot of reasons. You need options that make sense.

I found astrology through ~nature~

Years ago, maybe 2019, I picked up about five plain black composition notebooks. The texture of the paper felt good to my touch. My intention was to ensure all my journals matched. Well, I’ve discovered that I’ve finished my last one & need to find a new staple notebook that doesn’t cost 30$ a pop.

Gemini placements be like

The boycott of OpenAI(ChatGPT) has now surpassed 4 million. We’re also seeing many small businesses (and even some mid-sized companies) cancel their subscriptions. One of the most amazing things over the past year has been watching consumers remind big corporations just how much power they have.

Honestly, my one to one work in clinic really moves me. I love helping long term clients see how they’ve progressed over time. I love to shed a tear for them with them. I love the gentle unfolding that comes with the right formula or flower essence.

Definitely feeling like this eclipse is requiring a fast from internet world.

Solidarity with the people of Iran, Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen and all standing up to imperialist tyranny.

Spent this afternoon gathering pepper weed and mugwort from elsewhere in town and planting it around my yard in hopes that they take over. This pepper weed makes for a great addition to salads. Next I’ll be on the hunt for some betony because the tubers have THE most satisfying crunch.

Wrote out the final page of a journal tonight that I’ve been slowly filling for the past almost three years. The final words- “Be free.”

Curious how much weight others are placing on the lunar mansions when trying to elect charts. Is it just dependent on the intention?

Weirdly enough, this mercury rx has felt very relational so far. Lots of chatting and connecting happening this past day or so.

Profection years as highly informative periods- personalized lessons about the signs.

The FCC just opened public comments on SpaceX's plan to launch a million satellites to do AI compute in space. Under the current proposal, an environmental review won't be required. Please consider submitting a public comment to oppose this damaging plan. darksky.org/news/two-sat...

As Pluto inches closer to my natal sun, I’ve had moments of existential dread. WTF am I doing with my life, kind of dread. Even though Pluto left an exact conj to my natal Saturn early last year, I see it is now where my prog Saturn is, so I guess that story of restructuring is a longer one.

Just learned that I’ve not had clumsy fingers, but that my autocorrect has been changing “tea” to “yea” for probably months now… ☿ 👀

I will always blame the normalization of authoritarian parenting in our culture as a root cause for so many issues in this world. There’s literal evidence of the people who were most susceptible to becoming N*zis were the ones who grew up in an authoritarian household.

Something is in the works ✨

Take advantage of this gorgeous astro weather and book with me here: ko-fi.com/elysianastro... I've recently added offerings, so check them out :) always willing to work with you based on an accessible price point for your budget

The stinging nettle has small trichomes that line it’s stem and leaves. These trichomes which act as hollow needles that administer poison, histamines, to those they come into contact with. This poison is used, sometimes intentionally, as a medicine for inflammatory scourges, such as arthritic pain.

For an 8h eclipse, this morning is feeling pretty light. Even caught a slew of fresh ducklings out for breakfast on my first morning walk in over a month.

I can’t remember who mentioned something about the relational aspects of Saturn between grandparents and grandchildren, but it inspired me to look at my paternal grandmother’s chart again.

Very interesting research coming out that is finding no supportive evidence to back the polyvagal theory, which was developed around 15 years ago- when Neptune was moving into the sign of Pisces.

Shared these over on IG, but here are a couple of old tweets on Venus and Pisces from years past over on the bird app that has met its demise.

As a perpetually single person, V Day has still always been a favorite day. The energy of this specific one is really lacking, even on a Venus return.

This moment feels like sitting with bated breath.

It’s incredibly interesting to me that the very final exact opening sextile Saturn is making to my natal Saturn during this Saturn in Pisces time has put me in a position where s/o I’d made a very clear boundary with, my very 7h Saturn lesson, is s/o I have to interact with for a one-off job.

Stumbled across my helical setting star in the sky tonight ✨

I do feel like Aquarius is often mischaracterized as the humanitarian. It’s more the individual desiring to build their own ideal structure.

Every season I decide to watch Bridgerton, and every season the characters set me off 🙃

What Mercury squaring Uranus, only to enter Pisces the next day feels like:

One thing I’ve used for a long while that I wasn’t expecting to get serious understanding of through my Chinese medicine program is flower essences. Currently all of my regular clients are on Chinese formulas as well as a flower essence for subtle body support.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Entering this 12h year w a conversation that brings up some strange, hidden parts of myself. Spending my youngest years in a cult that has cast such a mystery over my childhood that has been slowly revealing itself to my psyche over the years. A childhood friend just sent me a podcast on the cult.

As I exit my 11h Venus year, what I’ve taken from it is a willingness to put myself out there to correct communication issues and create closeness, or in the very least, clarity that offers the opportunity for connection.

In just a few hours my SR chart will be live. Send a nice thought, share what you see, wish me luck (this pileup has already been a bit of a doozy) 🌸

An ayahuasca vine flowering in the garden 🌸

just saw 4 ice agents go up to a house and knock and within 1 minute there were 30 people out whistling and they left. we will not take our foot off the gas

Looking for a program similar to notion.io that’s safe for sensitive information (specifically looking for something that can put pages within pages or some similar system of organization)

At least half of the country is facing a bad snow and ice storm and some of the most frigid temps I’ve seen in a while, meanwhile Florida is having an unseasonably hot weekend in January. Temps were in the 80s in the height of the afternoon today.
