Short Version:&nbsp;Astrologer, tarot reader, animist &amp; spiritual consultant seeking support to continue deepening the work and providing public forecasts to any who need them in a way that doesn’t lead to burnout and health issues.Long Version:Once upon a time, mystics, magic makers, artists, storytellers, and healers were held up upon the gentle hands of community care. Offering essential services that nurtured various facets of innate human needs, they were met with their foundational needs returned in kind. Patreon offers us the chance to return to some semblance of that, to allow those who recognize public services as worthy for all to support them, rather than hoarding them for only those who can afford them. Likewise, seeing value in those services means seeing value in the people who provide them.In that spirit, I'm asking for support not simply so that you can receive special perks and benefits, but specifically so that others can continue to benefit from the work I have been giving away for free, which I can no longer afford to do with my health, integrity, and general ethos. To that end, the most important tier for me here is actually the first one. I know people hear all the time how much difference $1 makes, but it's more than that.&nbsp;There is an intentional and energetic exchange that happens at the base level, a commitment to care that transcends quantity and instead says, “I honor my capacity to show up.” So many people feel that if they cannot give a lot it is too shameful to give it all, that giving less is somehow belittling. But right now we are in a time where there is a crisis of looking away, of shame shielding us from the impact our smiles, likes, shares, and words can have on others.You giving me a dollar doesn't say anything about how much you value my work, beyond the fact that you do value it. And that's what matters. So my goal here is to hit 30 people at the first tier. If I do, that is going to fund the reignition of the stars and cards of the day. Is it enough compensation for the work? No. But it will start to create the reciprocal flow necessary to bring in what I need to be supported. In the meantime, once I hit 10 patrons, I will start doing a weekly walkthrough of the transits.&nbsp;But for now, what I'm asking for is community care. If my forecasts, posts, comments, and answers to your questions have benefited you, if you have found yourself missing my work and words, or if you are one of those rare souls who has a little bit more to spare than others and really want to see more astrological antics, bunny photos, and for me to have the space to start getting really serious with my writing, please consider becoming a patron.

Free

The energy that keeps me going and gifts the stars and cards to everyone. Truly, this tier is the foundation that lets me build and is the reason I opened a Patreon. There is no such thing as too little. Brick by brick it adds up. While the other tiers are aspirational, this is what I'm looking for to forge ahead.

The Bedrock

This is the tier for those who consistently benefit from my work and wanna give a little more back each month. Here you're helping keep my content accessible by giving enough to make a difference and moving the needle closer to keeping me afloat with this work full-time. Once we hit 10 people on this tier, it will also fund the weekly walkthroughs where I'll chat about what's coming up astrologically over the next week.

The Tip Jar

You are here for the regularly scheduled programming, the jokes, the astrology, the dialogue, and corrections. This tier also keeps me inspired to offer Substack articles that will dive deeper into the questions raised. Patrons on this tier get access to a monthly Ask Me Astro Zoom call where you can ask me anything about the stars above and cards below.

The Seekers

This tier grants you access to a monthly new moon circle with a forecast, ritual, individual chart mini readings, and guided practices. Due to how labor-intensive this tier is, the circle will only run if there are at least 5 people on this tier.

The Devotee of the Moon

In addition to previous benefits, this tier guarantees you a slot on my books each month. It gives you a 15-minute speed read every month to check in with the stars or cards on whatever calls you.

The Frequent Flyer

As with the previous tier, this tier offers a reading but bumps you up to a 30-minute reading every month to check in with the stars or cards on whatever calls you. It gives you a way to get on my books regularly to keep up with your personal cosmos and life. This rate also makes a huge difference in mine and supports the efforts of the previous tiers.

The Deep Diver

Here you find not only that your monthly reading jumps to a full, hour session, but you'll find a better understanding of yourself through your chart and how you tick. These readings can also be used for tutoring, coaching, or combining tarot and astrology.

The Astrology Advocates

This tier, like the Star card, is a prayer, a reaching into the flow of time to ask for enough to offer in return. It comes with my shock and speechlessness, my hope, and my ability to spend more time on these arts by letting them support me with your help. There are no new benefits here but you will receive the previous ones, and deep, deep gratitude for you making it possible for me to do the work without hiding it from those who don't have the means to support it fiscally.
