I grew up watching my mother chart the sky with a pencil tucked behind her ear, ephemeris in one hand, Farmer’s Almanac in the other. The moon told her when to plant, when to harvest, when to simply sit still and listen. She was never loud about her astrology; she just lived it.
Even though Tarot is my true domain, after she passed, I kept her charts alive. Not because I need the stars to be perfectly “accurate”, we all know the constellations have drifted since ancient times, but because the symbols still speak. Astrology, for me, is storytelling rooted in mathematics and geometry: a symbolic language that invites reflection, meaning-making, and growth.
I don’t offer it as absolute truth, but as a tool. A compass, not a cage.
Just like my mother’s moon-guided garden, these scopes are about tending what’s already growing inside you.
