Taurus Full Moon
I have spent much of my life in a trance, sleepwalking through the days. The world holds so much pain that it has to hide the magic, make it go away, make it wrong, make it evil. We are shaped and molded to disbelieve, even though the evidence lies right in front of us. It […]

Jenna & the Three Therapists
I never thought I was going to be one of those people who pays a shit ton of money to sit on a couch and spill their guts out to a stranger. But alas! I have done it a countless number of times with three entirely different people. I have had three therapists thus far […]

This Is Your Family
People have said this to me my whole life, like that is supposed to mean that I have to comply or even care. They say it in a way that makes it seem like I am supposed to be okay with the creepy uncle kissing me on the cheek. Or that the emotional and physical […]

Scorpio New Moon
New moons are just like new years or Mondays for that matter, a reason to start over, to begin again. Scorpio specifically surrounds themes of death, but with all deaths comes a rebirth. We can look to the symbolism of the phoenix rising from the ashes. In order to do that, we must let go […]

They have, as I was taught, been fattening themselves up for the cold months ahead as well. (Insert Homer Simpson drooling noises here.) […]

Catcalling & Consent
I’m so tired. Tired of being sexualized, and then shamed for being sexual. This has happened to me my whole life. I don’t think my story is original. It’s just the remix, my version of the way our culture treats women as objects, playthings, toys to be used and then tossed aside. Catcalling. It even […]

We’re All Mad Here
In the late 18th and early 19th centuries hat-makers would routinely use mercury nitrate during production, and exposure to this metal over time caused these tradesmen to go slightly insane. Hence the phrase “mad as a hatter.” In its original meaning, mad meant “troubled in mind” or demented. The meaning was later morphed to include […]

We have a New Moon in Libra on October 6, 2021 marking this day as my “personal new year.” Whatever your sun sign is, the new moon that occurs during that season is your new year according to the zodiacal calendar. This is the time where you would set some intentions on how you would […]
