Stop overthinking your vocation. Start living it instead.
Hey there! The idea of relaunching my Substack has been tugging at my sleeves for a little while.
Depending on when you subscribed, you may have initially done so for job search advice, or later on, for reflections at the intersection of science and spirituality.
Well, let me just say that there have been some developments.
I won’t bury the lead.
I am now an astrologer. 💫
To be specific, I’m a vocational astrologer. You might also know us as career astrologers.
The last 7 years have taken me on a wild spiritual journey that has completely changed the way I see reality. Seven years of deep spiritual and scientific exploration led me to conclude that consciousness itself is a fundamental ‘material’ that reality is made of.
That’s why we have weird spiritual experiences. That’s why manifestation is a thing. And that’s why astrology works.
Because (at least in this model of the world, that is yet to fail me), symbols and archetypes are nothing less than building blocks of reality. Astrology is a valid framework for decoding these patterns.
Once I allowed myself to see that, the evidence became undeniable.
I began to see how we can use these patterns in practical, precise ways.
Chart after chart reflected women's experiences, my own included. Some of the most puzzling challenges in my life suddenly clarified. My researcher mind couldn't unsee it – and my heart couldn't un-feel its truth either.
It felt right to use this newfound tool in service of my larger feminist calling.
So I now focus on helping women pursue their soul’s calling using the clues in their birth charts.
And now for the question I’ve been getting for years: why just women? 🤔
For millennia – and especially when they challenge the status quo – women's experiences and ideas have been mocked, discredited, ignored, met with punishment or even death.
We clearly haven’t rid ourselves of that monster yet.
This is where relaunching this publication comes in.
I have been on a decade-long journey (including before creating Worthful Woman) of trying to find my vocation.
And I feel like I have finally arrived.
On some level, I think I always felt that my calling was somewhere outside conventionality.
In a woman-hating world, my sense is that women’s callings tend to indeed very often be outside of conventionality.
Why? Because conventionality has been defined by those in power, and in a patriarchal world, power tends to correlate with hating women.
This is why I believe that particularly as women, pursuing our callings and offering our most authentic contributions to the world is critical in order to advance our societies toward a post-patriarchal era.
The world doesn’t make it easy for women to break out of the script, but it’s so incredibly worth it, and my worldview of world-as-consciousness allowed me to see that it can actually be easier than most people think.
I’m an astrologer.
I’m a woman empowering other women.
I’m a human who opens up minds and hearts to the very real magic that surrounds us.
Via The Worthful Woman Way (this publication), I’ll share everything I know about how to find and pursue one’s vocation, particularly as a woman, straight to your inbox, for free.
PS: In case you’re wondering how the “Worthful” part of Worthful Woman connects to our vocations, have a look here.
Until next time!
All the best,
