Dear Ones,

How are the skies treating you? Theresa and I have a new episode for your beloved ears. Enjoy the week ahead and I hope everyone has a fun and insightful Mercury cazimi on Friday!

ICYMI, I am offering a new donation-based “pay what you can” reading to the Substack community. We chat about it in the new episode, and I am including the description + details about how to sign up below.

PAY-WHAT-YOU-CAN: 12th House Readings

For the past three months, I have been testing and developing a technique based on the ancient concept of derivative houses. This technique is designed to provide insight into the nature of the unconscious (or less conscious) obstacles blocking the healthiest expression of any aspect of our lives. The method rests on the investigation of the 12th house, a place in our chart that the ancients referred to as “The House of Self-Undoing.” In its most challenging expression, the 12th house represents the beliefs, behaviors, and obstacles we unconsciously develop over a lifetime and frequently marshal to sabotage our own efforts. But, refracted through another perspective, this same house can represent paths of liberation—mechanisms for “undoing” layers of the ego that trap us in harmful modes of expression. My fixation on the 12th house originated from a desire to explore its relationship to spiritual practice. But somewhere along the path, I had the idea that perhaps we could look at the “derived” 12th house from any other house (or planet) in the chart to illuminate the unconscious obstacles to specific areas of life.

In application, I’ve found it to be a powerful tool. I have tested the concept in depth with a select group of friends and clients and have also found it enriching as an additional tool for birth chart analysis. I would love to explore it further with a larger pool of people. In the spirit of exploration, I am opening it up to all my Substack subscribers as a pay-what-you-can, donation-based reading. Here’s how it works: if you find yourself routinely troubled or stuck in any area of life and want to explore it further, send me a message through Substack describing the issue. I will send you a link to a calendar so we can set up a time to discuss it together through the lens of this technique. These readings take about 30 minutes. You can donate through Venmo or PayPal; the suggested donation amount is between 30 and 75 dollars, depending on your means. If you can’t afford to pay at all, that’s fine too. I hope this can be a helpful resource to anyone who feels called to participate. Please know that these readings demand some courage and willingness to engage in a process that might feel uncomfortably self-confronting. So take care to assess whether or not you feel emotionally resourced and up for the conversation. I can offer a deep well of grace and compassion, but I am not a mental health professional, so use discretion and take care of yourself first. Depending on how many people want to participate, I may spread the readings out over the next month or throughout the summer.

Oh and I am also offering 20% off all my readings for June (a Jupiter in Gemini special…) USE CODE: SKIES20 B o o k H e r e

With Love,
