Why I Love the Placidus House System vs. the Whole House System

This is why I love the placidus house system in astrology. While Jupiter just moved into Gemini, last night, under the placidus system, my 11th house begins at 5 degrees 25 minutes of Gemini, instead of zero degrees under the Whole House Method. Therefore Jupiter is still in my 10th house ruled by Taurus and will be there until June 17. That extends Jupiter in my house of career and making money another 3 weeks.

This past 12 months I've seriously put energy toward another way of earning a living in alignment with my heart and purpose. I enrolled in a 3 year formal study of astrology and slowly created my astro-portal coaching business. Preparing tax returns is something I'm very good at but it doesn't light me up, like astrology and coaching do and besides that, my hands and wrists hurt after so many hours on the computer during tax season.

The other day, I met up with a friend who is dedicated to protecting families through a new kind of financial vehicle - one that is disrupting the life insurance industry. I thought, wow, maybe I could do that! As a CPA, I understand the benefits and necessity of life insurance and I've had tax clients who sold insurance and earn residual income during their retirement years. As a single mom, I invested in my kids and myself but not in a 401k and I'm sorely lacking resources for my own retirement.

When I realized, Jupiter is still in my 10th house supporting prosperity and abundance in my career area, I accepted to work with my friend and her amazing team disrupting the insurance industry - so Uranus in Taurus and Pluto in Aquarius trine Jupiter!

This will also allow me to keep my rates for astro-portal coaching accessible to reach as many women as possible, not only those who can afford high hourly coaching rates.

Future We Are Building

Today I gave a five-minute talk at Friday Group at Fox Point Farms — a place I had previously only seen in my dreams. An agricommunity with farm animals, vegetable beds, open gathering spaces, a farmers market, locally made products, sustainable businesses. Nothing felt corporate or extractive. It felt intentional, collaborative, human. It felt like the future. We are living in a liminal time — especially in this space before the upcoming eclipse and the larger shifts unfolding collectively. Old systems are straining. Fear and scarcity narratives are loud. The structures that shaped business and success for decades are no longer sustainable. But something else is emerging. And it begins with awareness. In my talk, I shared something that has transformed the way I see my work as a strategic CPA. Our present financial situation is not random. It is the cumulative result of our beliefs, our thoughts, our decisions, and our actions. Financial statements are not just compliance doc...

The Next Renaissance Has Begun: Why Wise Women and Grandmothers Are the Ones Who Will Change the World

I am noticing that our greatest gifts are often surrounded and encapsulated in fear and pain. Trauma from our past makes us shut down. It stops our gifts from flowing. But what if every child were allowed to grow up free from trauma — so they could live the life they were meant for? What if we could heal our own trauma and unlock the gifts we were born to bring into the world? This is my path. This is what I am doing. I have a gift for the world. I am a Renaissance woman — a CPA, astrologer, communicator, writer and speaker, explorer of the mind and the world, entrepreneur, teacher, and coach. I help women live their best lives. And I am still learning to live my own. I have overcome wounding around money, relationships, and finding my voice. As a child, my voice was shut down. I became afraid to speak up, afraid to say  no , just to be accepted. Speaking my truth is still hard for me. But the pain of staying silent has grown greater than the pain of using my voice. I can’t live in...

Mercury in Retrograde and New Moon in Sagittarius

Today, November 25th, 2024, Mercury goes retrograde in Sagittarius until December 15th, this year.  As ruler of Gemini, Mercury is the planet for communication, transportation and technology.  The sun is also in Sagittarius, this is the month for expansion, taking trips and uncovering the truth.    We always blame Mercury in retrograde when we have a tech failure.  They say don't sign any contracts and expect traffic and transportation delays when Mercury is in retrograde.   Mercury in retrograde gets a bad rap, in my opinion.  But what if we look at Mercury in retrograde as a time to slow down from the hectic pace of this crazy world, take some down time to reset, recharge our own battery and review important decisions we are making.    Mercury goes in retrograde about 3-4 times each year for about 2 weeks.   What if we rethink Mercury in retrograde as our ally offering us time to refocus our priorities so we are liv...
