We’ve been fed a little lie with modern Western Astrology, also known as Tropical Astrology. You see, Tropical Astrology which I reckon is about 90% of the astrology Westerners read, bears no relation to the constellations in the sky either when you were born (natal astrology) or now (transits). Tropical Astrology has locked the bodies to the spring equinox in the northern hemisphere.  For example, when a Tropical Astrologer says the Moon is Full in Aries its actually located in Pisces. Why is this? Tropical Astrology does not account for precession which is the wobble of the earth’s axis. This causes the equinox to drift approximately 1 degree every 72 years. Thus, Tropical Astrology is 25 degrees ahead of where you can observe the planet in the sky.

Sidereal (from the latin word Sidus meaning Star) Astrology relates the bodies to the constellations and can be traced back to 2600 BC when the Babylonians were watching the moving stars (visible planets) to the fixed stars (constellations) along the ecliptic (where the planets revolve around the sun). Importantly, using Sidereal Astrology, the planets can be observed in the sky. Making astrology and astronomy match, which is what I endeavour to do. 

Additionally, the ecliptic has a 13th constellation known as Ophuichus, which sits in line with scorpio, right before Sagittarius. I have included this sign because the planets do move through this constellation as the ecliptic passes through it.

Another thing to note, when bringing astrology and astronomy together, the constellation boundaries are all uneven. Modern Tropical, and some versions of Sidereal Astrology divide them into 30 degrees each. I have allowed the constellations to be uneven and closely match what you will find in most astronomy apps.

During this age logic and science has reigned supreme (I have two degrees in Environmental Science), we have lost our inherently Spiritual nature. I believe once you visually observe a planetary body in the night sky, for example our closest neighbour, the Moon, you are taken into a place of awe and wonderment of something so much bigger than us, it’s hard to comprehend. It is in that moment, where logic and comprehension vanish, we become reconnected to Spirit. There is something bigger than us, it’s all around us and we have access to it whenever we want. It’s you, and your Spirit. That’s the power I wish to harness when working with you. 

In 2017 we were a mess. Financially, we had a MASSIVE mortgage and had renovated so were staring down the barrel of an even BIGGER one.

I was doing freelance work which was very inconsistent.

Hubs was working on the St. Peters interchange project in Sydney and was being absolutely flogged, 12 hour days 6 days a week with no end in slight. The only thing he knew how to do was drink in an attempt to ease the stress.

I was not managing our money properly. So yeah, money was coming in but it was also going out at the same pace!

We brought a flat off the plan in Melbourne at the end of 2015, AFTER I resigned from a job 🤦, it was meant to complete in 2019.

We hit a wall. Or I guess rock bottom.

Sean was stressed to the max in a job, I was stressed to the max wondering how we’re going to pay for all this.

The thought?

We both have to work THIS hard to keep this lifestyle?

We’re never going to see the kids! We’ll be working they’ll be in school or before and after care.

I was devastated. And suffering.

At the time I was studying with the Institute of Intuitive Intelligence and my intuition whispered…

What do you REALLY want?

I asked Sean this question too, and we both responded Bush and Beach.

That’s all that kept me going to find a way out.

That question was asked in August 2017, by the end of September 2017 we had a plan out and a move to the Central Coast in Dec 2017. Yeah, that’s how fast!

Fast forward to now, we have no debt.

We got our money back on the off the plan apartment (all I can say is know your contracts if you want out) AND we have bush and beach ALL THE TIME.

My Venus and Saturn sit right on top of each other in the 8th House, the 8th is transformation BUT also joint finances and intimate relationships. So my desires and success are linked to my transformation and partnerships. When I’ve made big leaps, it’s been with Sean.

This is the power of subconscious reprogramming using the planets and your intuitive intelligence as the instruments.

You do not need to suffer. We were not put here to suffer. We are here to enjoy and shine our unique light, our purpose into the world. This is my offering to you.

I’m mum (Virgo) to 2 boys (one Gemini and one Aries) and wife to a beach and water loving man who really could be a fish, he is that comfortable in water (Pisces/Aquarius cusp!).

My favourite colour is purple. I love trees and tattoos. I dig dancing and the beach. I like alternative rock n roll and world music. And will dance madly to both.

I want to save the planet so my children can enjoy her abundance sustainably.

I wanna live my life like I’m on holidays ALL.THE.TIME. Not when the system tells me when I can retire!
