2. SATURN SESSIONS (1.5 hour deep-dive into Saturn (and Jupiter, if you want) in your natal chart and in the sky. Both planets have recently changed signs, so there is much to discuss. Afterward, I email you a bespoke document with key astro dates for you, and some recommended readings/viewings/activities as I contemplate your particular Saturn-Jupiter situation. Good for those who are stuck on a project, struggling with timing--calendrical or divine, or simply curious about these planetary counterparts. I've got 4 slots in July. Grab your spot HERE
3. JULY 26: INITIATIONS: A workshop on the cardinal signs with Danielle Beinstein and Emmalea Russo. Dani is an excellent astrologer and we're going to talk about all things CARDINAL (beginnings, initiations) as so many planets have moved into cardinal signs recently. There will also be time for your questions. Come live or get the recordings. Reserve your spot HERE
