Why I Publicly Quit Astrology (and What Brought Me Back)

I used to treat astrology like a Da Vinci code. I thought if I could just crack the right combination of transits and placements and timing, I could engineer the perfect life. 😮‍💨🙃Then 2023 happened: one of the most stressful years of my life. I gave birth, lost my grandma, and my mom got diagnosed with breast cancer. I spiraled, obsessively tracking transits, looking for reassurance in my mom's chart while she was going through one of the hardest times of her life.So in early 2024, I did something that still makes me cringe a little: I publicly announced I was no longer an astrologer.What I didn't know then is that the break gave me exactly the perspective I needed. And what I figured out changed not just how I use astrology for myself, but how I teach it.Today I'm sharing the reframe I got from the brink of saying goodbye to astrology forever–the shift in perspective that transformed my entire relationship with the stars. I also share 6 practices I now use to engage with astrology as a spiritual curriculum instead of a rulebook, a prediction machine, or something to outsource your inner knowing to.This one's personal.
