Like coming home at the end of a big day to slide into the comforts of home – swapping shoes for slippers, tight clothes for loungewear, and the relief of getting out of a...
This mutable air sign always reminds me of the gentle breezes of Spring; light, playful and promising warm summer days ahead. With the Sun soon joining Mercury and Venus retrograde in Gemini, standing in a space of curiosity seems the best response as the winds of change blow around. When you don’t know what’s ahead,...
We’re officially in Taurus territory now, as the Sun changed signs earlier today. I usually love Taurus season, there’s a gentle serenity that settles in and a tug to building sweetness that offers a balm to the soul.

As Venus now draws us into the world of Pisces she draws our attention to the whimsical and imaginative. As a child, I loved reading fairytales, drawn in by the fantastical tales of magic, hope and often love. So this placement often takes me back to that time, hours spent happily reading alone, wrapped in...
