In the cosmic dance of celestial spheres, oppositions are powerful catalysts for growth and self-discovery. This aspect occurs when two planets are at 180 degrees (opposite) in our chart, creating dynamic tension. While often viewed as a challenging aspect in astrology, oppositions give us the opportunity to recognize what is imbalanced in our lives and teach us how to integrate the planetary energies involved, as well as the two houses that the planets are lighting up.
In this article, we’ll look at the ways planetary interactions play out across the opposing house pairs, and learn how to harmonize and integrate these energies for personal growth.

Reflecting on this unique alignment, one might wonder if it is just a coincidence or could it be a meaningful synchronicity? I think there is spiritual significance to Christmas and Hanukkah falling on the same day in 2024. It feels like a message. As both holidays land on December 25th this year, let’s consider the synchronicity of this convergence.
Both share themes of spiritual dedication and renewal that stretch back far beyond their current religious traditions. The sacred connection to the sky and to the emergence of the Light during the darkest part of the year is an age-old experience, echoed in Winter Solstice celebrations by ancient peoples across the globe. Uranus Opposition, Part II—Letting Go and Moving Forward: My Uranus Opposition Experience12/16/2024 ![]() In part I of this series, I introduce the Uranus Opposition, so be sure to read that essay for context. The following article explores my personal experience with this major life transit. Uranus was transiting the 8th House opposite my natal Uranus in the 2nd House starting July 2020. It was first exact July 2022 when David and I started discussing selling our house and moving to Portugal. This meant confronting all of our stuff, my stuff really, reflected by my natal 2nd House of Possessions. I had accumulated years’ worth of things: books, tarot, oracle decks, crystals, jewelry, clothes, and shoes, along with the artwork, music equipment, records, vintage glassware that we had collected together over 15 years, not to mention our home decor & furnishings. ![]() When you enter your early 40s, you will experience one of astrology’s major life transits, the Uranus Opposition. This is when the transit of Uranus becomes opposite (180º) your natal Uranus. Much like the significant life transit of your Saturn Return (28-30), you can expect the transformative power of Uranus to usher you into a new phase of your evolution. How this transit might personally affect your life is explored below. This major astrological transit often coincides with the struggles commonly known as the midlife crisis. This timing is no coincidence; the Hermetic axiom As Above, So Below, As Within, So Without is always relevant when considering all things spiritual and astrological. In this context, we see how the external influences of the Uranus Opposition mirror the internal conflicts we face during this pivotal turning point in life. ![]() Hiatus is over and I'm happy to announce my schedule is open for online readings! I love combining the sacred tools of tarot & astrology in my readings. Connecting with clients and helping them get clarity about their most pressing issues is such a privilege. If your life seems more challenging than usual lately, something cosmic might be affecting your personal sky map! You may be in the midst of a major life transit. As above, so below... One of my decks is still in print! Beautifully printed by Arcana Sacra, the French Edition of the Divine Muses Oracle, oracle cards and companion guidebook, are still available for the French speaking part of the world. You can purchase them from their website and in book shops in Canada and the EU.
![]() Twenty months have gone by in just a snap of the fingers! But when I think back, it was not that snappy. It has been quite the journey with many twists and turns, but David and I (and Dante) have finally settled into our new home in Portugal, where we can now relax and exhale into a new way of life. I'm grateful to be living where my family and ancestors hail, speaking my mother tongue, and absorbing the sunshine in new ways that the Pacific NW was not capable of giving. But, I have to be honest... ![]() Here is hoping your year is off to a good start, despite Mercury and Mars being retrograde at this Cancer Full Moon. These two retrograde planets can make moving forward into the new year more challenging, but they are giving us permission to take pause to retreat, reflect, and review. Which, as it happens, is part of the reason I am writing this. My Divine Muses shop will be going on hiatus soon. I am taking a break from selling my deck creations. (More on this below.) ![]() Happy New Year! I wanted to share the news that Divine Muses orders planted 670 trees in Oregon, Portugal, and Thailand. If you placed an order in 2022, thank you so much for supporting reforestation efforts! Not only did you help support my small business, your purchase also planted trees around the world. There are still some Divine Muses Oracle sets remaining in my shop. Orders will continue to have a tree planted somewhere in the world where it is needed. Thank you and many 2023 blessings!! You may now get the Divine Muses Oracle and Magical Child Oracle sets together in this listing. We are quickly approaching the holidays, so I wanted to put my two oracle decks in a bundle in the shop. Both of these oracle decks feature my handmade mixed-media collages.
![]() For the past few days I have been packing the Magical Child Oracle pre-orders. There was a group of packages mailed yesterday and the rest were mailed today! If you pre-ordered, you should have received an email with tracking information. In that email, there’s also a PDF download of artwork for the Magical Child Oracle Spread. Be sure to look for that link in your tracking email. I hope you enjoy playing with this deck! I’m so grateful for the culmination of this project and for all of your sweet support! ![]() The Magical Child Oracle decks are here! Still waiting on the guidebooks, which will be here in the next day or so. While we wait, I'm clearing the cards and raising frequency using 417hz tuning fork, and as seen in the photo 174hz and 639hz tuning forks while 417hz music plays in the background. ✨ The 417hz tuning fork is a great clearing tool. It is the Solfeggio healing frequency Resonare fibris. It is the Re of Do-Re-Mi. While 417hz is a great cleanser, it is also an uplifting and creative energizer. Here is the final proof for the Magical Child Oracle's guidebook. I am happy with it! It has been approved and went into production today.
The production schedule has been good to us so far! *keeping fingers-crossed* It seems that I will have everything before the end of November and will ship by early December. I have been spending some time with the Magical Child Oracle book's print proof. It's nice to have it in my hands and get a feel for it. There were some changes that had to be made, which I submitted to the printer. I will get the second print proof soon!
Things are advancing on the printing side of things. It seems that the Magical Child Oracle sets will be here by the end of November. *fingers-crossed* Pre-orderers, thank you so much for supporting this little deck creation. I'm excited to get these into your magical hands before the holiday season! |
