happy Sag season 🏹
nurturing the flame of our desires ⌇ Gemini full moon horoscopes 🕯️
✧ ˚ · hi paid subs! — full moon horoscopes at the end · ✧ ˚
“Gwen!! It’s been so long! How are you?”
I sit beaming at my old classmate’s parents across the table. My life has been littered with magical serendipity like this — going out to dinner with Shawn, and then chancing upon a treasured piece of my past.
I haven’t seen them in 7 years, not since I dropped out of university. What was once shrouded in shame is now bright, sparkly. A living memory.
“What are you up to these days? I hear you do readings now!”
“Yes I do!” I say excitedly. “I’m an astrologer now.”
“I know it’s a total change from what I was doing before,” I laugh. I’ll never forget the twinkle in her father’s eye.
“Sometimes those are the best ones,” he says.
Confession #1: I haven’t sold a reading in weeks.
Confession #2: This is the happiest I’ve been in months. 🌞
Many of you know I burned out in October. That was when I went on my first holiday in a year and raised my prices for readings.
For so long, I’ve been driven by the arbitrary goal I’d set last December: to hit my first 100 readings this year.
I just gave my 80th last week. 20 more to my goal, with one month left to go.
In the past I would’ve been stressed out of my mind. Trying to ride on Black Friday sales or random gimmicks to hit it. But that was the very mindset that led to my burn out. It was short-term, and misplaced — why was I rushing to reach my goals?
I wanted to enjoy this journey. To truly bask in how lucky I feel to read stars and make art for a living. Money is only a secondary indicator of success.
What truly matters is how I feel. And for the first time in a year, I feel happy. 🥹
You guys know that I took up dancing recently. Dancing has reconnected me back into my body in a way that I haven’t felt since before the pandemic. To feel sexy, sensual, desired — to feel desire. To touch another human being who isn’t Shawn! To lose myself in the music, and be buoyed by it. I’ve started dancing around my living room again. Moving my body more. Going for runs. It’s like, after months of living in my head / the astral realm, I am more firmly rooted back into my earthly vessel. And it feels wonderful. 💃
I believe it’s no coincidence that the Sun has entered Sagittarius — the mutable Fire sign that heralds the start of holiday season. As with all Fire signs, Sag is fully embodied. It concerns itself with lived experience: going OUT into the world, and experiencing it for yourself. I remember growing up with my Sag moon and feeling this so strongly: why on EARTH would you take someone else’s word for it?
Put yourself out there. Try. Experiment. Fail.
At the very least, you’ll get a great story out of it. ⌇
Reconnecting with dance has brought me back in contact with this wild child side of me. I have lost my spark in the long, drawn-out winter of the pandemic, and now I am venturing out into the world again with newfound purpose.
Mutable Fire is such a delicate thing. It must be nurtured slowly, with intention. It doesn’t burn hot like Aries or strong like Leo. It is like a candle: you trim the wick and cup your hands around the flame, hoping it doesn’t burn out. 🥹 ⌇ That is Sagittarius. Nurturing a new desire, a new adventure, a new identity — through the brave, incremental steps you take, every single day.

We are welcoming a Full Moon in Gemini 🌕 on Monday, 27 November, at 4:16am ET / 5:16pm MYT. There is a lot of Air energy in the sky for this lunation — not only do we have the Axis of Information (Gemini-Sag) illuminated, but we also have Venus and South Node about to share a kiss in Libra. 💋
The South Node is about release. Letting go. Karmic patterns in our relationships are falling to the wayside, welcoming in a breath of fresh air: Sagittarius style.
What limiting beliefs do you still hold? Can you look at it through a different lens? Can you allow yourself to actually be all that you desire to be? ⌇
♊️ WHAT LIMITING BELIEFS ARE YOU RELEASING TODAY? 🌕
