Dearly Departed: Zodiac Wheel

As a 'Thank You' for being here and supporting my work as an astrologer, I felt called to share my knowledge with you in the form of a 'Dearly Departed: Zodiac Wheel'. I selected an individual for each astrological sign. I consciously chose figures who have inspired me and speak to the themes of their Astrological Sun sign embodiment. When I imagine them all gathering together in a circle in the Spirit world, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the many forms and expressions of we as humans can take. It is my hopes that this offering gifts you a moment of reflection and connection. ***Below you will find a write-up for each astrological sign. I also released a special bonus podcast episode that explores this same theme.
