A lot of resentment lies in the fourth house, dormant, ready to spring out of the Earth, like roots who grew impatient. At the same time, it’s interesting to think that a tree’s roots are strong enough to push past whatever it was holding it back, to make itself known.

The third can equally be as mundane as it is full of magic. It is out in the open, in the way that a neighbor can look straight into the window of your home as they take their walk outside, but as private, and covert as the rituals you undertake in the morning before you go to work that no one knows about.

Having planets in the second house is about knowing which tools you carry with you, inherently. Forever. Like Dora the Explorer, and her purple Mochila: what do you carry on your back regardless of how heavy it is, because you’re better with it, than without?

I like thinking about the first house as the lobby, the first point of entrance, not just metaphorically, but literally, representing you entering this mortal realm by taking your first human breath on this Earth.

Writing this blog makes me feel like I’m sitting in a confessional booth, and I’m a frazzled model in America’s Next Top Model, ready to spill her guts. The past three months have been incredibly transformative, and I have felt my frontal lobe slowly solidify itself inside my skull. It itches in there.

Venus is retrograding from July 22nd, to September 3rd, 2023. There are exactly 43 days between July 22nd, and September 3rd. This Venus retrograde will have you feeling like you’ve gone back twenty steps in whichever journey you’re in. And isn’t that a wonderful opportunity?

I would love to begin with the myth that astrologers sit on their asses all day, making assumptions about people without any previous form of analytical study, data collection, or lived experience. Let’s debunk that real quick. We don’t “hate you because you’re a Gemini.”

I have always wanted to be a writer, and even though I write, I never really identified myself as one… maybe up until this point. It still feels weird though, calling myself that, calling myself anything for that matter. Even saying my name out loud sounds weird, sometimes.
