Since the Decan Walk series wrapped up and I put out that three-hour Pattern Analysis video, all you’ve seen of me is the Card-a-Day posts. You may think that I’m relaxing and binge-watching the new serial-killer series on Hulu (Sigh! I wish!). But that would be so far from the truth! What I am doing is overhauling my website, where I’m looking at about 20 years’ worth of blog posts, while I’m being steered through my destiny’s path by all the Planets. And I also spent an Evening at a Museum in NYC to see 500+ Years-old Tarot Cards in an awesome Tarot exhibition.

I thought I’d pop on for a bit to say “Hi” and to tell you guys what’s been going on. ‘Coz it’s a lot. But it is also a fun share. A peek into my life with the Cards and the Planets, and the big and small insights they bring to my life.

So, What’s Up with the Website?

A lot of behind-the-scenes stuff, mostly. If you’ve poked around my website lately, you might have caught glimpses of it — some things look different, some things are half-finished, and the whole thing has been a masterpiece in progress for weeks now.

Quick note: I’m still catching up with cleaning up the blog posts. So if you see a few glitchy ones, please do me a big favor: just drop me a quick email with their title, and I’ll pull them to the top of the list to fix them for you asap.

Meanwhile, let me walk you through what’s actually been going on.

⏳ 20 Years and a Very Overdue Theme Change 🛠️

To put it simply, I did the thing WordPress people will understand and gasp at: I switched my theme from Divi to the plain, bare-bones WordPress theme. After more than a decade on Divi (nothing wrong with it, for the record), the newer updates just got too complex for me to keep learning right now, when I flat-out don’t have the bandwidth. Coming back to barebones WordPress was its own learning curve, but an easier one — simpler, almost nostalgic.

Except, of course, it wasn’t that simple. Divi brings its own code and bloat, and none of that magically disappears when you switch themes. It doesn’t just translate into Gutenberg.

So I’ve been going through 20 years of posts one by one: unsupported blocks, revisions dug up to recover lost content, classic HTML blocks converted to Gutenberg by hand. It was a mess. 👩🏻‍💻

A lot of it happened quietly in staging, so you may not have noticed — but if you’ve ordered a reading from me recently, you definitely noticed the checkout looks different. No more fancy Divi blocks, just the shopping cart plugin’s default look.

That reminds me.

Anyway. Here I am, reading through 20 years’ worth of blog posts – two decades of me, on the internet, talking about my experiences with the Tarot. I’m realizing that this site of mine has grown up quite a bit. And while it might look pretty from the outside, on the inside — it’s a beast. A lovable, but slightly unwieldy beast.

I’m in the process of updating old text, hunting down better images, deciding what stays and what goes. So if you see a few glitchy blog posts or pages, please let me know so I can fix them asap.

Technical dump over. I promise the next part is more interesting.

Them Transits Be Wild 💫

Interestingly, this storyline actually mirrors a lot of what’s going on for me. Is it too much of a coincidence that these things just line up like that? 🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆 #ducksinarow

I’ve had a lot of planets moving through my 1st House lately — the house of identity, of who you are. Right now the Sun is sitting there, Ketu (the South Node of the Moon) is there too, and the two are heading toward a major conjunction, passing right over each other. Jupiter’s there. Mercury’s passing through. Venus already came and went, and Mars is on its way. Mercury is business, communication, messaging. Jupiter is wisdom, expansion, abundance. The Sun is identity, clarity, radiance — and yes, ego. Ketu is detachment, the walking-away energy, the deeper spiritual stuff.

And my website — my 20-year internet trail — is my identity, out there in front of the world. So going through it has been this whole trip down memory lane. As I read through the stuff I wrote 15, 20 years ago, I realized I was such a different kind of person back then. I used to be so open, so trusting, so naive. I had such different energy back then. Such an intensely enlightening 6 of Cups moment, if ever there was one.

I’ve also realized that a part of me has actually become a little jaded. The jury’s still out on whether that counts as growth. But the surprising bit is that another part of me has gotten freer. Things I would’ve been too scared to say out loud back then, I find myself saying now without blinking. Looking back at those old fears, I ask myself: what were you so scared of?

Meanwhile — because apparently one house wasn’t enough — my 9th House is having its own moment too, with Saturn and Neptune both transiting through. The 9th house is higher learning, philosophy, belief, sometimes faith, sometimes travel. Picture Neptune’s dreamy, watery, illusion-soaked energy running straight into Saturn’s “learn it properly and understand it” structure. Saturn’s basically keeping Neptune’s imagination from running totally wild, laying groundwork for the next 20 years Neptune will spend here. Neptune cracks open intuition and higher learning, but you have to wade through fog and disillusionment to actually get there — and that disillusionment is familiar. I’ve always been a bit disillusioned with the world as a person, but life also shows me both sides of every story. The good, the genuinely beautiful. And the dark, disastrous, fearful.

Funny enough, when I started studying the Tarot 20 years ago, Astrology didn’t click for me. Too strict, too many rules, I didn’t get it. It clicked years later — and it turns out Neptune was, back then, moving through my 8th house, the shadow house, the occult house. So those 20 years line up exactly with my Tarot journey. Wild, right?

🏛️ An Evening at a Museum to see 500+ Year-Old Tarot Cards

Oh, and I almost forgot to tell you the best part!

As all of this was unfolding around me, I found myself planning an evening at the museum to see the original Visconti-Sforza Cards!

On Friday, August 14, I hopped on a bus to New York City to see the Tarot! Renaissance Symbols, Modern Visions exhibition at The Morgan Library & Museum. They had actual cards from the Visconti-Sforza Deck, original paintings from the Thoth Tarot, and a handful of original paintings by Pamela Colman Smith herself.

In person. Under glass. A few feet from my face. And my phone camera.

I obviously took a ridiculous number of pictures. It was such a learning experience, seeing how many hands and how much time went into a single card back then — it puts the whole intricate, difficult process of card creation into real perspective. Getting a little window into what life actually looked like when these decks were made was its own kind of magic. Very Saturn-Neptune of me, honestly, wandering a museum taking notes on 15th-century card production.

The exhibition runs until October 4, 2026. So if you’re anywhere near New York, I can’t recommend this exhibition enough. You can find all the details here:

Check out some of the pics I clicked! 🤳

📸 An Evening at a Museum 📸

In the Real World…

So, here I am. On this mundane, material plane, elbow-deep in WordPress code, mid-reformation of my digital presence. On the astrological plane, I’m rebuilding and reframing my own identity in the context of everything so far, learning what I can to get ready for whatever’s next.

And, OMG, I’ll turn 50 next year. A real milestone. I genuinely cannot believe it. 😅

Order a Reading! Let’s Catch Up!

No matter what I’m up to, the only thing that keeps me grounded and tethered to reality is doing readings. 🥹 So, if you want a quick (or deep-dive) Reading, just reach out. It’ll be great to catch up and see what the Universe wants you to know. 😃

Your Thoughts…

That’s the update, in full. A website overhaul, a chart full of identity-shaking transits, and an evening at a Museum.

Have you ever gone back through something you made years ago — a blog, a journal, old photos — and barely recognized the person who made it? What did you notice about how much you’d changed?

And if you’ve ever seen Tarot cards displayed in a museum or gallery setting, I’d love to hear about it — what did you see, and what was it like being that close to cards that old?

Tell me in the comments. I read every one.
