A heavy, weathered trunk glows with otherworldly light at the bottom of a dark, swirling lake. Suspended by a molten-gold chain, the chest radiates energy from within—mysterious, ancient, and alive. This is not just a container. It is a sealed threshold holding ancestral truths, soul contracts, sacred rage, and buried power. A visual metaphor for Mars in Cancer in the 8th house—emotional depth, inherited strength, and transformation waiting to rise.

Mastering the Unseen

Mastering the Unseen What They Never Told You About Mars in Cancer Some people say my Mars is debilitated. That it doesn’t belong in Cancer. That it doesn’t know how to fight, or lead, or make moves. I say my Mars is a sacred vortex of primal power. A gatekeeper of ancestral memory. A sacred, simmering force that doesn’t perform power—it embodies it. It holds centuries of survival and transformation in every breath I take. It took me years to understand what this energy actually was. Not because it wasn’t always with me, but because the world I was raised in had no language for it. Mars in Cancer, retrograde, sitting in the 8th house at 29 degrees—it felt like carrying a wildfire under still…

A radiant Black woman stands in an open field at sunset, arms outstretched in surrender, with her heart center glowing like a radiant sun. Her hair flows in the wind as vibrant hues of purple, pink, and orange paint the sky behind her. The light from her chest illuminates her body, symbolizing openness, radical acceptance, and the power of living with compassion. The scene embodies strength, healing, and expansion through conflict and transformation.

Navigating Conflict with an Open Heart Space I wrote these words after listening to this week’s AstroTea conversation on Clubhouse. Their forecasts always spark new reflections for me, and this time, I felt called to speak about conflict, how it moves through us, how it can weigh us down, and how it can open us to deeper wisdom. Astrology reminds me that the energies we feel are not random. They are patterns, waves, and invitations that help us see ourselves more clearly. Conflict is one of those mirrors, revealing the parts of us that are still tender, still learning, still holding on. Conflict shows up in every life. It can rise between family members, friends, colleagues, or even within ourselves. Sometimes it feels like an…

Golden sunlight pours through a window onto a wooden altar, where two tall purple candles flicker beside a deep blue glass bowl filled with herbs. Crystals, rings, and sacred tools rest on a woven cloth, emanating subtle energy. An open book suggests wisdom in motion, while a hand adorned with copper and brass bangles gently touches a glass of water—an offering or a blessing in progress. The space breathes with intention, balance, and the steady rhythm of Jupiter’s guidance. Surrounding plants lean toward the light, echoing the living expansion unfolding at this sacred table.

Jupiter’s Blessing

Jupiter’s Blessing Ancient Power and Modern Pathways to Abundance Jupiter expands everything it touches. In astrology, this planet carries the energy of growth, wisdom, and divine timing. Often called the Greater Benefic, Jupiter reminds us that blessings arrive when we align with our purpose and remain open to the unfolding. Jupiter governs how we dream bigger, believe deeper, and walk in the direction of our becoming. Its energy can bless our careers, our relationships, our money flow, and our spiritual path—but it doesn’t force anything. Jupiter opens the door. We decide if we’ll walk through.
