This, Or Something Better
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 […]

Four Other F-Words
One thing I learned very early on in my therapy/wellness journey, or whatever we are calling it these days, is that when I get super anxious my body switches over into the sympathetic nervous system. It sounds nice, right? Sympathy. That was a terrible choice in word usage to whomever decided on that option. It’s […]

Punctuation
I have a love / hate relationship with semicolons. I want to get one tattooed on my body, and I refuse to write with them. I won’t use them in a sentence if I can get away with it. I have no idea where this raw hatred for this particular punctuation mark came from. I […]

Libra Season
Welcome to Libra season and hello autumn! Unless you live in Richmond where it is humid as hell, and we appear to be in second summer hopefully heading into actual fall. We had that tease not too long ago. Mother Nature is probably just pissed off at the way we have been treating her. Either […]

Pisces Full Corn Moon
The last full moon of the summer occurs this year on September 20. Pisces, the 12th and final zodiac sign, rules sleep and the subconscious, the dream world. Ruled by Neptune (Poseidon to the Greek), the Roman god of the sea and water, rides the waves of the ocean on his horse-drawn carriage much like […]

Women’s Equality
I find it quite fitting that Women’s Equality Day (8/26) is during Virgo season. Or maybe it’s some terrible astrological joke considering its symbol is the Virgin (Mary). The definition of a ‘virgin’ is a woman who belongs to herself. Our culture doesn’t exactly teach us that. It teaches us that we first belong to […]

Jenna, You Should…
Do this. Do that. Go left. Turn right. Fuuuuuuuuck. Can I ever do anything right? According to everyone else, no. Isn’t that what we are taught growing up? To be perfect little specimens? Quite frankly I am tired of being picked and prodded. I am not a heifer. I feel like that’s what we women […]

Back to the Basics
I’m sad. I’ve been that way for a bit now. I can see it in the pictures that I take. I am smiling, but it doesn’t quite reach my eyes. I’ve been here before. This is nothing new. I am just so overwhelmed right now. I’ve gone back to my morning pages recently as a […]

Lammas Day
Astrologically speaking August 1 marks the midpoint between the summer solstice and the autumnal equinox. This totally reminds me of when I used to write press releases for the Science Museum. I did my internship there in college, but I digress. According to the Farmer’s Almanac, this “pagan day of harvest and thanks” is when […]

Leo Season
Zodiac’s storyteller travels its journey through our galactic skies from June 23 to August 22. This fire sign also happens to be my moon sign. (Holy crap! Remember that time I got blown up in a food truck during a full moon? That’s some weird synchronicity.) Everyone spends a ton of time talking about their […]
