Moving to Portland after Mark passed completely reset my compass. I treat astrology like a math problem and use tarot as a mirror for the unconscious—grief is just the psyche shedding what no longer fits. Drop your takes on how divination helps process loss, I’m listening.

Grief rarely operates like a tidy psychological process; it’s often a chaotic, non-linear unraveling that refuses to be neatly charted. Treating astrology like a math problem and tarot like a mirror might impose artificial order on an experience that thrives in ambiguity. As a midwife, I’ve witnessed how loss reshapes reality in ways that resist being reduced to a spiritual toolkit. Maybe the real work isn’t about mapping the Major Arcana to your pain, but about sitting with the unchartable silence that divination can’t quite capture.
