WHAT IS THE ASTROLOGY NEWSLETTER?
the Snail Mail Astro Newsletter makes the practice of noticing cycles in time feel like doing a crossword in the Sunday paper. to make connections between myths, meanings, and metaphors you have to engage both the logical and artistic sides of your brain. Astrology offers a creative way to tell yourself a story, or to get a different perspective on the challenges in your life. it requires a level of vulnerability and honesty to yourself- much like Tarot- and in that way it can be a valuable practice for someone who wants to work on self-awareness and personal growth.
life is challenging and confusing which is why people have been intrigued by archetypes, fables, and beliefs throughout time. some form of spirituality has always existed with humanity, so why not use these same tools to help us find our focus, purpose, and direction? this Newsletter can serve as an exercise in revisiting and reconnecting to the natural cycles of the universe.
WHAT IS IN THE NEWSLETTER?
inside there’s a couple sections where you can reflect on, take notes about, or draw your own meanings behind the season’s general theme and the Full & New Moons’.
there is Tarot prompts for you to pull guide cards with the Full Moon, New Moon, and for the Season overall. this card may describe the general feel for that time, or direction you may feel called to go in.
the Newsletter includes an overall Astrological forecast for the entire month; outlining what you should be aware of and how best to channel your focus during each time.
finally there are multiple botanical/astrological illustrations for you to admire or color in- depending on your preference!
WHAT IF I GOT IT LATE?
the Astrology Newsletters was created to be used at any point in time. if you pick up the Libra Issue on October 1st, but the season started on September 22nd- don’t worry, it can still be useful!
personally, I use astrology to ground me in the present- not to “predict” the future. I find it helpful to use it reflectively to figure out in what ways the astrological events could appear in my day-to-day life.
if you got your Newsletter halfway through the season (or later!) you can use the themes, lunar cycles, and astrological events to reflect on how your life recently unfolded. look for the ways you can draw comparisons and conclusions to the astrological forecast without even being aware of it. hindsight may be 20/20, but it is helpful in creating associations for how the Astrological forecast unfolded for you.
HOW CAN I USE THIS?
there’s a few different ways you can use this newsletter based on your own preference.
it can be used alongside your own journal practice. sit down for 5 to 20 minutes (or more!) a day and take this time for yourself. write whatever comes to mind. write how you feel, what you feel driven to do (or not to), your hopes, dreams, reflections on the past 24 hours - write whatever you want! then cross reference your journal to check in with the Astrological Forecast for that time. see what happens in your life when Jupiter is in retrograde, or when the Sun is in Pisces, or when Mars moves into Gemini. try not to project your own worries and fears onto the future. just take it one step at a time and see how things unfold.
it can be used alongside other Astrology sources. use this newsletter to collect all the different thoughts, lessons, and ideas that are talked about from all your favorite Astrologists. for years I’ve been listening to a wide variety of astrological sources, taking note of their themes and messages and writing them down so i can hang it on a wall somewhere to offer me advice while that season unfolds. now you can keep it all in one spot!
