Signs and Symbols
Where tarot cards talk back, planets soar, and runes clatter like an army on the march.

The Greek Pantheon vs. the Viking Gods
The tools I use for divination—tarot, astrology, and runes—are all steeped in mysticism. They’re rich with symbolism, story, and spiritual insight. And they all speak the language of the gods. But not the same gods. Tarot and astrology are closely linked to the Greek and Roman pantheon. Their imagery and…

The Rune that Isn’t What You Think
Some runes look a little intense. Take Thurisaz, for example. It literally means thorn. Sharp. Prickly. Not what you’re hoping to see when you ask the runes about your weekend plans or your love life. But here’s the twist: Thurisaz isn’t here to ruin your day. It’s here to keep…

The Best Moon Signs for a Haircut
Astrology and hair? Oh yes. The Moon has something to say about that, too. If you’ve ever wanted your haircut to grow out quickly, or hold its shape longer, lunar timing might give you the extra edge you didn’t know you needed. Here’s how it works. If You Want Your…

Don’t Blame Mercury
Mercury gets blamed for everything these days. Printer jam? Mercury. Spilled your coffee? Mercury. Hit “reply all” by mistake? Obviously Mercury. I love that astrology is part of the mainstream conversation now. I really do. But somewhere along the line, “Mercury retrograde” turned into shorthand for “I messed up—but it’s…

The Tug-of-War in My Birth Chart
You know those moments when astrology just knows? When it doesn’t gently whisper, but instead leans over, looks you dead in the eye, and says, “So are we going to talk about this, or…?” Yeah. My birth chart did that. I was born with Sagittarius rising, which means people meet…

The Rune of Doom
If tarot has the Tower and astrology has Pluto, then surely the runes must have their own harbinger of doom, right? You’d think so. Most people assume it’s Hagalaz, the hailstorm rune. I mean, come on—it’s literally bad weather. It represents sudden disruptions, delayed plans, and metaphorical ice pelting you…

The Worst Card in the Deck
(But Not for the Reason You Think) People love to ask which tarot card is the worst one in the deck. It’s usually followed by a nervous laugh and a glance at the cards, as if they’re listening. Some readers say it’s the Tower, because nobody enjoys sudden upheaval and…

What Your Birth Chart Isn’t Telling You
You don’t need to “know astrology” to know yourself. Astrology can be a rich and powerful tool for self-discovery. But let’s be honest: birth charts can also feel overwhelming. Houses, signs, aspects, transits—it’s a lot. And while your chart holds fascinating clues, there’s one thing it can’t tell you: Who…

The Moon Changes Signs Every Few Days—And So Do You
We often talk about Sun signs. But the Moon? She’s not just hanging out in your chart, quiet and sedate. She’s constantly on the move, slipping from sign to sign every two and a half days. And when she slides from Aries to Taurus, or Libra to Scorpio, or any…
