🪐 Astrology as a Vocation (or Something Like It)

Some say your profession is a choice. Sure, maybe it is. But more often, it’s a chain of unconscious turns at high speed — where your car ends up as either a racecar or a clunky old ZAZ that stalls every ten meters.

My path into astrology didn’t feel like a decision. It felt like falling into a river and realizing you know how to swim. I’m not the best person out there. Sometimes I catch myself dreaming, “what if things had turned out differently?” They didn’t. And won’t.

I have a degree in psychology. I did a stint as a counselor. But I know now — therapy isn’t for me. Not because I’m “broken,” but because my own cracks would tear apart on other people’s problems. I’d lose my mind to save someone else’s.

Astrology gives me the rhythm I need. Daily posts? They’re my ritual. My way of exorcising doubts, of making sense of what I see. My own odd blend of penance and responsibility.

Consultations? They’re little sprints. A flash of momentum that lets me keep going — scraping together rent money without begging my friends for help. So, huge thanks to the people who gave me a foundation: Anastasiya (all three of them — even the one I no longer talk to), Tetyana, Dmytro, Nataliya K., Nataliya Yatsenko, Karina Kary for her wicked humor, Yeva for her surgical ego-realism, Kateryna H. for that moment of self-seeing.

And to my current students — four so far — you are my mission. I want you flying out of this with wings sharp enough to cut through cloud cover. I demand a lot, but I give more.

In the last few years, one Yoruba proverb keeps me grounded: “The sky is wide enough for all birds to fly without colliding.” Yes, there are tons of other astrologers out there — some better, some worse. But I’ve finally realized: we all attract the querents (clients) who are meant for us. There’s an invisible thread in play. Maybe even a North Node moment, who knows.

Once, a young woman came to me. She later went on to study forestry. At first I thought, “Forestry? Seriously?” But then I remembered — I told her she’d do best with nature-centered careers. And wow, it landed. That little moment of cosmic alignment? Worth all of it.

So yeah, while I prep my next post — feel free to ask me And if you’d like to support this strange, blossoming life of mine, you can toss a coin to my PP (DM 4 details). If I manage to turn my room into a botanical sanctuary, I’ll absolutely post some plant selfies for you.

🌿 Always yours, Petro transitfever

We are going into potential shifts in the energies associated with planets which are changing signs TOGETHER!

Going back at least 3000 years... we've never had the condition where Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto have all changed signs and they're all trining and sextiling one another by exact degrees."🤯

While the aspects these outer planets are making will eventually be OK, the movements of the faster moving, “personal planets” are creating the feelings and experiences of unease. This dynamic is creating both an underlying sense of hope & the period of intensity we’re in now. 

To help navigate the situations in your life, Adam Gainsburg specifically offered this, "Do not act impulsively. Take a breath and back up before you say anything or take any action." He makes an important divide between impulsive and decisive action, noting that the difference lies in "where I am coming from in my action."

Adam said that whether we choose to react (from unhealed aspects of ourselves) or respond (from a place of clarity and self-awareness) now will have ripple effects that we'll feel over the next six months. So taking the time to ensure you're coming from as clear a place as possible before acting.

Sending love to you all.

Today's New Moon in Virgo is ruled by Mercury in Libra, currently facing off in a square with Jupiter in Capricorn. Jupiter in turn is ruled by Saturn in Capricorn, who trines the Sun in Virgo today. So, we've got a lot on our minds. Together these aspects suggest that our New Moon intentions for the upcoming lunar cycle revolve around navigating complex systems. Thus, tonight's digital art is called "Synapses." Mercury governs mind & communication. In Libra Mercury seeks symmetry & harmony, smoothing over rough edges in both dialog & design. With Mercury in a challenging square to Jupiter today, we may find words taken out of context, blown out of proportion, or thoughts proliferating, getting scattered, conversations becoming difficult to follow. Capricorn's ruler Saturn reigns in many of Jupiter's excesses, & in alliance with the Sun in Virgo today helps to focus & structure our awareness of practical details that might otherwise be lost when Jupiter amplifies cacophony in our heads & our social circles. Though Saturn frequently gets a bad rap, Saturn excels at teaching patience, helping us slow our pace & process data more steadily, so we can be mindful & emotionally present with what best helps our long-term growth. Saturn may see us stuck in old patterns, our choices hardened by fear or depression, & with Saturn, Jupiter, & Pluto transiting Capricorn for most of this year, stuck in fear is where a lot of us have been. But for the brain to survive trauma, it needs to regularly form new synaptic pathways, to expand mental possibilities as Jupiter in combination with Mercury can help us do. On the other hand, too many synaptic pathways can turn genius into madness, so we need to maintain a balance between Jovian expansion & Saturnine restriction. Where can you cut out unbalanced or anxiety-producing information clogging your bandwidth today? Where can you focus on the details conducive to health & harmony while remaining mindful of the larger picture? What new pathways will you create now, in order to be more adaptable in an increasingly complex world? #astrologersofinstagram #astrology #astrologythoughts #dailyart #dailyastrology #digitalart https://www.instagram.com/p/CFQq34-nrXD/?igshid=1xtec7alavluk

The Sun in Virgo squares the Nodes of the Moon in Gemini & Sagittarius today. These mutable signs together suggest a concern w/ examining facts to find the truth of a larger matter, so today's digital art is called "Where We Cannot Lie." We may feel out-of-step with the natural progressive of things around us now, as though we've suddenly stepped aside and said "Hey, wait a minute," sucked into the details of a situation that we see clearly but others do not. We may feel on-the-spot now, under scrutiny, pulled between our ideals and what actually draws our interest on a daily basis, or between what we are moving toward and what we must leave behind. Now more than ever we can see the progression from old beliefs to new narratives, whether true or nor, and we may seek time out to keep from being swept along in a stream of thought that is not our own. For some of us it is our health that is disrupting the normal flow of the day, or a habit that keeps tripping us up that we now see we need to change before we can progress. The Sun in Virgo favors tending to your own process of growth on a practical level, tweaking small details in order to affect bigger changes down the road. This is not a time to get bogged down in criticism or self-denigration. Whatever is tripping you up now is only temporary, and this is the perfect time to course-correct. Where will you step aside now to address something small with a big impact? How can you make your habits and environment more conducive to better physical and mental heath? Where do you need to move to your own rhythm and get out of lock-step with the crowd? #abstract #abstractart #astrologersofinstagram #astrology #astrologythoughts #dailyart #dailyastrology #digitalart #growth #myart #suninvirgo #womenartists #womensart https://www.instagram.com/p/CFNvNcKn1JR/?igshid=rz6tzxz0v9mq

Tonight's digital art bears flowers once again as Venus in Leo squared Uranus in Taurus earlier today, bringing with it a need for unusual beauty, unexpected connections, and changing values. Uranus' transit through Taurus has been shaking up our relationship with our bodies, our material resources, and our physical world. Things we once thought were dependable and certain are now anything but. Venus in Leo is bold & confident, heart-centered & passionate. When she is doing well she lights up a room. But when she feels the seismic shock of Uranus in her home sign of Taurus, she is none too happy to have the cosmic jester tipping her throne, even when it's all in good fun. We can't always be the center of attention, even when we deserve to be. Sometimes greater forces upset our plans. The key now is to roll with the unexpected, and learn to see the beauty in it. Make room in your plans for spontaneity and adaptability, and don't let your pride get in the way of a good time. You might find yourself in the company of those you never expected to be friends with. Be willing to experience new insights about your relationships and social circles, and try some new aesthetics on for size. Just be sure to keep the receipts if you've made any purchases today, as you may find yourself wondering just what hit you when you look at them again tomorrow. #astrologersofinstagram #astrology #astrologythoughts #dailyart #dailyastrology #digitalart #myart #roses🌹 #rosesofinstagram #uranusintaurus #venusinleo #venussquareuranus #womenartists #womensart https://www.instagram.com/p/CFLox-_HvLE/?igshid=pvke4flh27hp

Today's trine from the Sun in Virgo to Pluto in Capricorn helps us to see & understand what lies beneath the surface of things, so tonight's digital art is an abstract design based on the roots of an uprooted tree. The combined forces of pandemic & shutdown with resulting economic hardships, disastrous weather events, & ongoing wildfires have alternately locked down & uprooted so many people. We're seeing aspects of our society, our history, & our families that have previously been hidden. Secrets are coming to light. Sometimes ugly ones. Now we have a chance to look closely at what we may have been afraid to look at before & see clearly what needs to change. Today's Sun/Pluto trine helps us examine what we're finding & understand how it affects us on a core level. What's also becoming clearer is the long-term growth we can achieve as a result of these intense circumstances. We're being transformed from the ground up. Who we are is the result of foundations & patterns set long ago by our forebears. Chances are we've been following those patterns & relying on those foundations without ever truly examining them. Until now. How many toxic behaviors & systems have we accepted for too long, because we thought "that's just the way it is?" In the midst of so much devastation, we're now being asked to reconsider what was ingrained into our lives from birth. It's time to re-examine the systems that we've previously accepted even when they weren't actually healthy for us. We're being asked to change, to cut out what is rotten, to grow. Humans tend to resist change. It's scary & uncomfortable, even painful. But profound change is needed if we are to survive our current challenges & save our planet, & our humanity. What's rotten in your own life? What toxic patterns have you inherited that you may begin to address now? Change & healing take time, so this isn't an invitation to be hard or impatient with yourself. Where can you make little changes that will add up with time? #abstractart #astrologersofinstagram #astrology #astrologythoughts #dailyart #dailyastrology #growth #myart #plutoincapricorn #roots #suninvirgo #suntrinepluto #womenartists #womensart https://www.instagram.com/p/CFIuwdWnQCM/?igshid=1ga8b7sxjowg5
