In its honor I appreciate every interaction a bit more.

How Gemini to go to your favorite local coffee shop and ask the owner why your fav barista from afternoon shift isn’t there. How Gemini to talk with her, exchange pleasantries, and tell her how amazing the coffee is.

I wondered if I should tell her that sometimes those iced lattes hit a part of my soul and remind me that I actually do have what it takes to complete the tasks on my todo list. Do I tell her that her smiling face after a hard night brightens my day?

Gemini season reminds me to enjoy every interaction in my community and my favorite places. I fall more in love with my small town and yes I do want a gluten free sandwich from the local deli. Just so I can hear them say, “Have a nice day and thank you for stopping by.”

It’s the small conversations like seeing my next door neighbor ride his scooter down the street with the coolest mullet and smile on his face while yelling “Hi Millie!” . Later he pulls into the drive way to say to her, “I like your dress!”

She replies, “What did you say?”

He then says quickly, “When’s your birthday again?”

Everyone wants to hate on Gemini, but they forget that it’s the small conversations, being neighborly, and the curiosity to learn something new. Gemini’s collect information. It’s that social media doom scroll you pretend you never do just to be reminded that somethings happening with the moon and you think, “Ahhh that makes sense. Work has been a bit intense lately and my family is really on one.” Gemini has got to know the what & is curious about information.

The Full Moon in Sagittarius comes tomorrow morning, Sunday, May 31, at 4:45 AM EST. I noticed her glow as I stepped outside last night.

She’s on the way and she has a point to get across.

Sagittarius and Gemini are sister signs. They are opposite of each other meaning that they are fighting about the same things from two different perspectives.

Gemini wants to know what as she collects information.

Sagittarius wants to know the why about all the information collected.

Gemini notices everything.

The conversation with the barista.
The neighbor riding by on his scooter.
The iced latte that somehow tastes like inspiration & hope.
The “have a nice day” from the deli counter.

Gemini gathers it all.

Then Sagittarius comes in later and asks:

Why did that stay with me?
Why did that moment feel meaningful?
What is all of this trying to show me about my life right now?

Gemini collects the moments.
Sagittarius gives them meaning.

Sagittarius asks what you believe in. She holds perspective and represents the places in life where you’ve outgrown an old identity.

She gives meaning.

She gives permission for freedom.

The Full Moon brings emotional clarity.

She says to feel the grief and the gratitude simultaneously.

Release expectations.
Clock every realization.
Take the space you need.
Move your body in a way that feels good.

The Sagittarius Full Moon is here for truth.

She cannot pretend, and she won’t.

And she’s not here for someone else’s truth.

Not your brother’s.
Not your lover’s.
Not your mom’s.

It’s about your own.

Then at 9:20 AM, the Moon will trine Saturn in Aries. This really gives the Moon somewhere to land, grounding it all.

After that emotional peak, Saturn asks:

What is here to stay?
What is sustainable for your life?
What structure supports this new truth?

It’s ultimately about revelation and integration.

My life has transitioned in ways that honestly make my heart soar with love. I’ve evolved through this life journey I’ve been on, and my respect, love, and appreciation for astrology has only expanded.

Being an astrologer carries so much depth and magic. Being connected to the planetary cycles and watching my own transits unfold in real time has given me a clearer innerstanding of what my soul is here doing.

My North Node is in Aquarius in the 8th house. I’ve always known it would be uncomfortable to lean into, but my greatest purpose is to explore intimacy.

And newsflash… I fell in love in Big Ivy in the Pisgah National Forest in 2023.

Over the last three years, our love story has unfolded in the most fascinating way.

In 2024, my partner and I began spending consistent time together each month. Then in 2025, shortly after a visit to him in the Westchester area of New York, I found out I was pregnant.

And yes, Jupiter was absolutely in Cancer, which can bring babies to mothers after many years of trying, or even an additional child later in life.

Not to mention Venus was retrograde during conception… so surprise.

Half of my pregnancy I was very sick. Then the other half, I danced my tail off and showed up at every hip-hop dance class or weight training class that I could.

My Mars in the 5th house is a force to be reckoned with. Not only would you find me on the dance floor, but you could also find me on an adventure at any given time, which feels very on-brand for me.

I traveled to my oldest daughter’s Nationals in Panama City Beach, to the Turn Up Dance Fitness Conference in Orlando, to NYC with my family, to NYC with my partner, to Maryland to watch my partner’s fraternity brother marry the love of his life, and to the Pisgah National Forest as much as we possibly could.

I went from saying I would never want to live with a partner to having a complete shift in perspective.

His heart-centered, vibrant spirit and sensitive nature showed me that I was safe to love and truly be loved in return. This healthy love and partnership opened doors I never expected, and I’ve been in deep gratitude for the man he is.

He moved into my home in North Carolina last fall, and I have loved every moment of having him here. He’s my person, my soulmate, and a huge piece of my heart. The kids adore him too and deeply respect him as a bonus dad. He has added so much love to our lives.

Finding out I was pregnant was a huge surprise, but if I know anything as a Scorpio Moon in the 4th house, it’s that I was meant to be a mother.

A mother who breaks cycles.

A mother who makes a conscious choice to raise her children differently than she was raised.

A mother committed to evolving each and every day.

This was going to be my fourth child, and with fierce determination to do things in the most holistic and healthy way possible, we hired a wonderful midwife and a doula who also doubled as a student midwife.

On December 30, 2025, Arthur Quinn Schloss came into the world.

Capricorn Sun.
Taurus Moon.
Libra Rising.

My fourth baby.

Born in a birth pool in our home.

The perfect ending to one chapter and the beginning of another.

My home birth story will be shared soon, but for now I’ll say this:

The experience deepened my trust in myself, my body, and the birth team I had in a beautiful way.

I brought my baby boy into the world with my partner, my youngest daughter, my best friend, and my birth team by my side.

It was dreamy in every way that counts.

It will never be lost on me that God shined his beautiful face upon me and blessed us beyond measure.

Recovery from birth took me time, and honestly, I’m still healing.

It’s been almost five months with him earthside. We’ve had many breastfeeding obstacles to date, but my partner and I have shown up as a team.

It has been a very tough season.

And I truly believe my family, our rituals, my faith, and my friendships have grounded me through it. Especially my best friend. She’s been a rock.

During my pregnancy I also went on a spiritual journey, and after birth I began my conversion to Judaism. Having a Jewish partner who introduced me to Jewish holidays and ritual deeply inspired me. It brought joy to my life and gave meaning to so many years of Bible study as a child.

We are now official members of a local synagogue. We held a Brit for our son in our home. I’ve read countless books, taken an intensive 30-hour course on Judaism, and meet biweekly with my sponsoring Rabbi.

As I write this, my little boy has a dry cough, a rumbling tummy, and is working through some cold or pollen symptoms that are making him uncomfortable. He’s spitting up a lot and having a hard day.

Our AC has also been on the fritz, and he absolutely does not like being hot. So his sweet daddy is installing a new one right now, and I’m incredibly grateful because I don’t like being hot either.

I’ve also been in the literal armpit of postpartum lately. Our 4th month brought shorter naps, routine changes, and the chaos of multiple dance competitions out of town.

He’s already a velcro baby, and I’ll be honest, I’ve struggled to keep up. I’ve also struggled with how I feel about myself in my body.

I’m navigating diastasis recti, a hernia, leaking, and recognizing that my pelvic floor needs major support. And I know… my body is taking its time to heal. Birthing babies is intense work physically, emotionally, and mentally.

I know these things, but living through them isn’t always easy.

I’m a stubborn woman though, with a Capricorn Sun in the 6th house. Capricorns reach goals slow and steadily. So I’m on my way. And I’m doing my best.

Meanwhile, I have two incredibly sweet daughters finishing their 2nd and 5th grade years while also wrapping up their fifth year of dance. They are always willing to help, but more importantly, they will absolutely argue over who gets to hold their baby brother while I go pee. Or at least over who gets to hold him first.

Then my teenage son, who is quickly becoming a young man, turns 18 in about a week and will also be graduating high school. He’s spent the last few years in a diesel mechanic apprenticeship and will transition straight into working full-time after graduation.

My heart feels beyond full in this season of life. I have a wonderful family that shows up for me through every hardship and every obstacle. A family encouraging me to play games, read more books, and go on adventures.

Things are quieter now.

More low-key.
More mystical.
More wholesome.
More family-centered.

I get to experience a love I once only read about in books and I get to grow closer to my four children, each in different, but beautiful stages of development.

I’m also moving through postpartum while being a deeply dedicated breastfeeding mother that is passionate about attachment parenting.

For a while, my energy has been devoted almost entirely to home, healing, motherhood, and being present in this season of life.

And truthfully, I needed that.

I needed space to be with my family, my body, my baby, and the woman I’ve been becoming through all of it.

For many years, I worked with 20+ astrology clients each week. During pregnancy I reduced that workload to almost none. And only now, in this part of postpartum, am I beginning to slowly open my schedule again for private readings, and I’m looking forward to reconnecting with this work in a new way.

My life feels full.

And I’m embracing this chapter as a creative, a writer, a mother, and an astrologer.

I’m looking forward to writing here again and sharing astrology through the lens of motherhood and the mystical lore of an Appalachian momma.

The cosmic energy is at an all time high and it is what we do with it that truly counts. It is about our awareness and how we choose to tune into these energies from our highest good. This is nothing to be feared. However, there is great medicine to our spirits and growth that is available on our path if we are willing to lean in.

Mercury goes Retrograde tonight September 9th, 2022 at 11:38pm EST.
I am sure you have heard about Mercury Rx or even saw memes about it. People often dread this period, but I do not think that we should fear this. Mercury Rx actually gives us an opportunity to heal unresolved cords in communication. This communication can be connected to travel, business contracts, mental energy, and how we interact with others in our lives.

Mercury Rx in Libra
Our relationships will likely have things surface in this time and there could potentially be people from the past that show up. Look out! There are loose cords that need to be worked with, because healing is NOT linear. Sometimes we have unfinished business to completely heal and end cycles in our lives.

Libra has a deep desire to experience harmony. Take note of how this period may bring challenges that bring awareness to the shadows in your life that prevent balance. This energy can also be incredibly indecisive and struggle to make choices without communication with someone close. Remember to ultimately trust yourself and not 2nd guess yourself too much.

Mercury Rx moves into Virgo on September 23rd, 2022 at 8:04am
Virgo is ruled by Mercury. So it is very much about information, but its more about how we organize this information. This sign is all about our daily routines, habits, health, service, and our work. Before traveling in this time, be sure to take time to plan things out and have things organized. Also revisit old projects that you have taken space from. The time will be now! Be cautious about being critical in communication though. Sometimes organizing our thoughts can bring obsessive behavior.

The Moon is Full in Pisces on September 10th, 2022 at 5:59am EST
The energy of release is here as this cycle comes to a close. We may recognize that the energy can be a bit chaotic around us. Pisces takes us to our very depths and as a water sign can be very emotional. Ruled by Neptune, we are invited to release illusion and tune into the mystic energy at hand. We are energetically more sensitive and will find our intuition speaking to us. Be sure to take time for yourself to rest and recharge. You deserve it and it will be much needed!

When does the retrograde period end?

• Mercury Rx ends on October 2nd, 2022 at 5:07am EST

  • Be mindful of communication, travel, and all contracts!

• Pluto Rx ends on October 8th, 2022 at 5:56 pm EST

  • Pluto shows where our power is. This energy calls us to reflect on how we empower others and embracing that energy within.

• Saturn Rx ends on October 23rd, 2022 at 12:07am EST

  • Our discipline for self is being tested in this time as we find karmic patterns resurface.

• Jupiter Rx ends on November 23, 2022 at 6:02pm EST

  • The planet of expansion brings focus to our dreams. We are being invited to take a look how to explore more authentic ways to reach them.

• Neptune RX ends on December 3rd, 2022 at 7:15pm EST

  • The masks are off and things are more clear. The blessing and opportunities that come are way during this period are incredible.

• Uranus RX ends on January 22, 2022 at 5:58pm EST

  • Uranus can bring fast changes so we are being invited to explore our intentions from the past and see how we can pave the road to bring them to life. This energy brings space to get quirky with our ideas.

Thank you for tuning into the magic of the celestial cycles with me.

On Wednesday, July 13th, 2022 at 2:37pm EST the Moon will be Full in the zodiac sign of Capricorn. Which means that the Sun and Moon will be opposite of each other.

Capricorn is a sign ruled by the planet Saturn. I often tell my clients that Saturn is the strict father. So Capricorn definitely brings all the Daddy vibes. This Divine Masculine energy works very hard to reach goals and will climb the tallest mountains to get there. Being the final Earth sign in the zodiac, Capricorn reflects a maturity and also connects us to the industry.

This Moon will also be forming a Trine to the North Node. So we are being called to let go of what blocks us from our dreams and go for them! There is harmony present if we will do the work. However, moving in the direction of our dreams can bring discomfort and challenge us. Release the blocks and go for it! You can do it.

We may also notice that things will come “to light” or be illuminated as we find our work and family life balance. This Capricorn Full Moon is here to bring the cycle to a close so that we can release anything that blocks us from our dreams.

We are experiencing a collective shift in the divine feminine right now. Feminine energy is raw, connected to the shadows, and goes inward.

This sign is also the Mother archetype. The mother protects her cubs and nourishes her young. It is time to nourish the inner child that needs to be held.

This New Moon is here to call us to release what doesn’t serve and create new cycles for self.

Neptune also just went retrograde. This is here to take away the illusion and false realities that have consumed us. Our intuition is ready to be tapped into with this 160 day transit. We are invited to trust ourselves so that our dreams can come alive.

We are right in the midst of Gemini season which brings so much chatty energy. We are socializing, connecting, and may even be making new friends.

The Moon is Full when it directly opposes the Sun’s position, which can bring some tension.

This is why some may refer to the Full Moon as a chaotic event. Our ego and emotions are in opposition so its time to close a cycle so things can come to completion.

Sagittarius loves to be the life of the party and has no problem being straight forward to tell you like it is. So be cautious as you lean into closing cycles not to be self righteous.

Whew! What a journey it has been. I am 1 day late for the New Moon post. However, this energy is always potent and can be tuned into for many days after the transit.

We also just stepped out of a powerful eclipse season that has brought incredible shifts to our lives. As a Cancer Rising, this is going through my 12th house. So I have been off in the clouds.

It is the New Moon so we are all tapping into new beginnings. Our spiritual reset is here to help us release past energies and move forward.

This is all happening in Gemini too! A sign that is very intellectual, curious, and open minded. However, keep in mind that we have Mars and Jupiter snuggled up in Aries which reflects this deep drive to honor the self and fight for what we want.

Mercury and Saturn are forming a square which can bring a lot of tension into the equation. Our mental energy and the way we lean into our responsibilities are struggling to find alignment. However, squares help us grow. This can be worked with and will make us stronger.

I send you such love as we embrace this new cycle.

The New Moon always brings such a sweet time for fresh starts.  It is truly potent energy and brings so much inward.

This New Moon is extremely significant as it is also our first of four eclipses in 2022.

The eclipses are dancing on the Taurus / Scorpio axis which brings some massive energy for transformation at hand.  We have to release the energy that is blocking the growth.  This eclipse says, “Let it go!”

There is new growth looking to root into your life and I’d love to offer you a reading today based on your astrological rising sign for this potent black moon.
