Sometimes you have to trudge through muck for the best unexpected views. (I took this photo on Salem Common last night.😍)

I went down a rabbit hole reading about the murder of Captain Joseph White because it’s known for inspiring the board game Clue, and my daughter is doing a local theatre production of Clue. So I’m sharing my rabbit hole of info :)

In 2018, I sold almost everything I own to buy a sailboat. The dream was to homeschool my kids, do astrology readings when I had wifi, and sail the world.

There’s a huge community of families out there doing this. I followed all of their YouTube channels before I sold my house. I figured if they could do it, I could do it.

Well, I remember the day I was handed the key to our 54ft boat and expected to navigate out of a marina on a Navy base. I was suddenly really terrified despite already owning and sailing a smaller boat and taking all my ASA classes. Despite my fear, I made it out of that marina, across San Diego bay, and docked her safely at the next marina.

Next came the challenge of anchoring for the first time. I had nightmares that the boat would drift off and crash into the rocks at night.

When it was time for our first “shake out cruise” we discovered we knew very little about ocean swells. We started getting pounded by waves as we were sailing back from Catalina Island. It was pitch black and I couldn’t see them coming. They’d hit the boat from the side and knock us back and forth. Anything not tied down was all over the floor. It was absolutely terrifying. In that moment I thought, “What the hell am I doing?? I’ve put my kids in danger. This was a horrible idea. I can’t do this.” … and then I changed course to follow the moonlight and the swells pushed us forward from behind.

After that, I just kept learning and facing my fears. I took small steps and built confidence with each new experience. 25 knots of wind used to scare me. After two years of sailing through Central America, we experienced a squall with 70 knot (hurricane force) winds. I was completely calm and confident. I laughed that 25 knots now felt like a calm breeze.

There are families who begin this journey and quit. I am still very proud that I didn’t. Each tiny step, each small victory, builds momentum and makes the next step a little less scary. Baby steps through fear.

Anyway, the reason I didn’t quit sailing back then is the same reason I encourage my astrology school students not to quit on themselves. We take something that feels abstract or overwhelming and turn it into something you can work with. It’s like life coaching through the lens of your birth chart, and I teach it using examples from my own very real, sometimes messy experiences.

You don’t wake up calm in 70 knot winds. You build toward it. One anchoring. One course correction. One “follow the moonlight” decision at a time.

Fair winds and following seas to you all. 😁⛵️

PS. I moved off the boat in 2023 during my divorce and she’s for sale now. So if you know anyone craving adventure, here’s a link for more info: https://celestialnavigationastrology.com/our-sailboat/

Happy Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Virgo!

The Virgo Full Moon has always been my favorite. It has this “right brain vs left brain” vibe to me. I’m a Pisces Sun and I have a lot of planets in Virgo (A Stellium) so
embracing the spiritual, dreamy aspects of life, (represented by the Moon Tarot card) while figuring out how those aspects can be implemented in a logical, organized, human way (represented by the Hermit card) makes sense to me.

Pisces energy is intuitive and emotional. Virgo energy is thoughtful and detail-oriented. Today’s Full Moon shines a light on both. Vision and method. Manifesting and planning. Magic and spreadsheets.

And this year, this full moon is also a lunar eclipse! Lunar eclipses bring emotional revelations and releases. It’s a time to clean up things in your life that feel energetically cluttered. In Virgo, this eclipse highlights health, daily routines, work, and self-criticism. It’s the
‘perfect’ time to let go of perfectionism ;)

This is also a beautiful time to organize and plan any intuitive endeavors, create structure around something sacred, and refine your rituals. Trust your intuition… Does your daily life support your spiritual life?

May your dreams have a plan, and your plans be magical!

Hello hello!
Mercury goes retrograde tonight at 10:48pm for you Pacific Time folks and tomorrow morning at 1:48am for us on Eastern Time.

Mercury Retrogrades are a time of slowing down and rethinking your daily routines as well as time to clean up past and current communications. They really aren’t a bad thing. I know sometimes this means that technology gets a little funky and emails don’t go through, etc. But this just means you need to triple check everything before you hit send, and then check your sent folder to make sure it goes through. Check your spam folder quite a bit also because emails tend to end up there during this time. Don’t sign any important documents during these times. (Or if you have to, and can’t help it, read through the document fully and methodically before signing.)

Saturn Conjunct Neptune today!

Today is a big deal. Saturn and Neptune meet at zero degrees Aries. This is a rare, generation-level alignment that won’t happen again until 2061.

Saturn’s energy helps us take responsibility, set boundaries, and deal with what’s real. And Neptune brings intuition, spirituality, compassion, and vision. Together in Aries, the sign of initiation, courage, and identity... today is a great day to choose a new direction and commit to it, even if it feels vulnerable or uncertain.

It’s pretty common amongst Astrologers to think that strict task-master Saturn and dreamy woo-woo Neptune don’t really get along. I always think of these planets in the way I think of my business. I have a weird, flowy, intuitive witchy business... But I need to run it as a business. I need a website, a booking system, bookkeeping, tax preparation, etc. So I think, at least for me, those energies have to blend. So think of this as an example for anything sort of ‘out there’, creative, and imaginative things in your life that need some grounding, structure, and forward momentum.
