đ Sometimes you get to experience your work in a way that reminds you exactly why you do it.
I had the honor of serving as the resident astrologer for the We the Land Conference hosted by Northeast Farmers of Color Land Trust at Smith College, offering astrology readings to farmers, herbalists, healers, land stewards, creatives and others doing meaningful work in their communities.
And one message kept showing up in the readings: Your individual work matters to the collective.
One person may be growing food. Another preserving herbal knowledge. Someone else may be creating community, tending to spiritual traditions, reconnecting with ancestral practices or imagining a different way forward.
The work may look different, but none of it exists in isolation.
đMy role through astrology was to help people see themselves and their work a little more clearly, to recognize their natural gifts, understand where they are in their own evolution, and reaffirm that what theyâre building has value.
đŚDoing this during the Leo New Moon felt especially fitting. Leo reminds us that our individual gifts are meant to be expressed, while community reminds us that those gifts can contribute to something much bigger than ourselves.
And personally, getting to reconnect with members of the first wellness collective I ever belonged to made the weekend even sweeter. Full-circle moments are real. đĽš
I left Massachusetts inspired, joyful and with a very full heart.
đ Thank you to We the Land for trusting me to bring astrology into this space and allowing me to make my own offering to the collective. đż
