Astrochat: Scorpio

I was anticipating having this post finished months ago. I was imagining kicking it off with something like, “IT’S FINALLY SCORPIO SEASON!! MY SEASON!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!.” But, life had other plans for me, or I had other plans for myself, namely procrastination and anxiety. I’m a Scorpio.

Taurus Moodcollage & Playlist

I remembered being in my car screeching out Kelly Clarkson’s “Since U Been Gone” with tears in my eyes and phlegm in my throat post breakup. I remembered how fucking hip I thought Mac Demarco was the first time I heard him, “Salad Days” a summer of tanning and weed. Billy Joel’s “Always a Woman” thinking maybe I’ll be that woman one day.

Astrochat: Libra

Hold onto your hats, hearts, and Hermès, because we have officially entered Libra season! Virgo got us secure and settled, and now that we’ve established some order in our lives, Libra season brings us back into the balance of work and play.

Astrochat: Virgo

Happy Virgo Season, my sweet cherubs!! I don’t know about you guys, but Leo season was a lot for me. Drama, excess, and indulgence, which is great, but I’m beyond ready to get centered again. Enter Virgo Season. Perhaps, my favorite season. Back to school, back to routine, fresh starts, and clear eyes.

Leo Moodcollage & Playlist

The Leo Mood I referenced for my shoot I realized in hindsight, was also relatively unbothered, but not disconnected. It’s playful and restful at the same time. It’s a quiet confidence. An ease in taking charge. It’s showy in a way that seems so natural, as if you were born with glitter in your veins.

Astrochat: Leo

Happy Leo Season fireflies!! Whew! What a relief, to be in this joyful, sunny, ultra-lax, creatively fertile time. Leo Season allows us to step into the spot light, take up space, prowl around, and get all the r&r we deserve.

Cancer Moodcollage & Playlist

This playlist is packed with all the ups, downs, and deep feels of Cancer season. I highly recommend listening in order, but it’s still good if shuffling’s your vibe! Every artist here has their Sun in Cancer, and 50 Cent gets two songs because Lil Kim’s best song is with him and they are BOTH Cancers!

Astrochat: Cancer

Happy Cancer Season, waterbugs! Cancer season serves us all a time to settle deep into our feelings. It lets us identify our protectors—the things that make us feel safe—as well as identify the things that we believe we can and want to protect.

The Sun has entered Gemini, and summer party time has officially begun. We’re making big plans, celebrating the closing of chapters, and not shutting up about anything for at least the next 4 weeks!

Astrochat: Taurus

Ah, Taurus Season. Let us settle. Let us luxuriate. And let us take our sweet sweet time doing it. After high intensity Aries, Taurus season feels like an absolute vacation, and in so many ways, it truly is. The Sun entered Taurus on April 20th and will stay remain there through May 21st.

Astrochat: Aries

If you’re feeling like things are reeeeaally starting to heat up around here, it’s because IT’S ARIES SEASON!!!! This year, the Sun entered Aries on March 20th and will say there until April 20th. The day the Sun entered Aries also happened to be the Spring Equinox, bringing us some majorly actionable energy. Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac in the Astrological calendar.

Astrochat: Pisces

We are officially in the dreamiest Astrological Season of them all. The twelfth sign of the Zodiac, Pisces. This year, the Sun entered Pisces on February 18th. Followed by a full moon (in Virgo) on the 19th, so if you’re super swirling into the depths of your feels right now, just ride the wave, that’s what Pisces season is all about. The Sun will remain in Pisces through March 19th, so keep your tissues handy, (Pisces are all about having a good cry) and prepare to feel it all during this time.
