I, for one, am glad to say goodbye to April. It has been a really, really hard month. I got the flu 2 weeks ago, and I am still suffering from side effects. I have a spot on my face that looks highly suspicious, and I can’t get in to see anyone until July for PCP or September for an out-of-network dermatologist (which will cost $2000-3000 for everything). I’m tired. Not just tired… fatigued, exhausted, struggling. That being said, I’m not a quitter, and I am going to keep going. (Yes, I’m bootstrapping myself, but only myself. YOU should go rest.)
The New Moon in Taurus was yesterday. There is still time to get a reading if you would like. There are still journal packs available on my Ko-Fi and over on
’s website.In more positive news, my little garden is doing well, and I couldn’t be happier about! Group coaching for May will be a little different.

May is just around the corner so here are the tarot spreads for the month!
5/1: BELTANE
We are halfway through spring! This spread is intended to help guide you through the next 6 weeks as we approach Litha.
5/4: Pluto in Aquarius Retrograde
Pluto will be entering its annual 6 month retrograde. This isn’t something that we will feel super intensely, but you may notice some patterns coming up.
5/10: Mercury in Taurus
Mercury moves into Taurus on the 10th. This is going to be a good time for more slow, long term planning.
5/12: Full Moon in Scorpio
This full moon is one that people argue about. One thing that is undeniable is that is will be intense and deep. Sit with yourself. Don’t shrink away from your shadow, even though the sun is out and the days are long.
5/20: Gemini Season
This will come in a different love letter for my paid subs. Love you!
5/24: Saturn in Aries
The last time Saturn was in Aries was 1996-1999. Some of y’all weren’t even born yet, which my old ass can’t take so don’t tell me. Thank you. At any rate, if you were alive, have memories of that time, etc. consider looking at the things that were happening in your life. What lessons were there?
5/25: Mercury in Gemini
Mercury will make another placement change this month into smooth talking, fast processing Gemini.
5/26: New Moon in Gemini
We will be ending the month with another new moon. It’s a good time to reset, look at your goals, and set new intentions.
What are you looking forward to in May?
Wishing you well this week! May your life offer what you need in this moment.
With love,
Aventurine ✨
