Wheel of the Year - Spring Equinox

Mar 20, 2025

Dear friend,

We did it! We got past the darkness of the winter months and we made it to Spring.

Equinoxes are about equality: there is the same amount of light and dark in thr day, and that's what we tend to celebrate.

You may notice that I don't use the commonly-circulated word "Ostara."

This is because we ... don't do that. There is a notion that folks have called the period of time around Easter "Ostara" because of the Old Germanic goddess "Ēostre" and her festival being in the springtime.

This is not resonant with the traditions I learned and was raised with, so I don't use the word. It's not "wrong." It's not "bad." I just don't use it.

I did come up with celebrating Easter, because my mother was an Episcopalian and that's how they get down. Egg hunts, pastel dresses, redemption and sacrifice.

Below is a cute lil graphic about my own Spring Equinox practices and how I get down with honoring the Wheel of the Year in the Spring.

April 2025 Forecast

Every year, I perform tarot forecasts for myself, the general vibe of the West, and individuals who want 'em. Formerly I would use the general forecast to keep my finger on the pulse of the energetic zeitgeist, but it occurs to me that you could probably use some month-by-month help, astrologically speaking. So below is pertinent astrological goings-on, a journal prompt, and some magical reco...

13 Words to Rule Them All

Avoid these 3 communication mistakes (I used to make them, too!) Many years ago, when I was counseling at an opioid dependence clinic in Greenville, SC, I learned a saying that I’ve carried with me ever since: 👉 Say what you mean, mean what you say, and don’t say it mean. Simple, right? But also? Life-changing. Because when I first heard it, I was drowning in bad communication habits. Passive-a...

The Next 25 Weeks

It's high time we got down to business, kids. Hey there, I’m here because of my parents. I mean, we’re all here because of our parents, but I mean something deeper— I’m in your inbox talking about self-care like I’m the scientist in Don’t Look Up because of my parents, both of whom are deceased. They died bookending the pandemic—April 18, 2020, and October 2, 2022—leaving me with lessons I can’...
