Cancer New Moon – "Body As Home" – Conversation w/ Artist Barry Lee

Cancer New Moon – Body As Home (feat. Barry Lee)
This Cancer New Moon episode is arriving a day late. I spent the New Moon in the hospital. I’m okay now, just in some pain and moving slowly, so thank you for your patience. In true Cancerian fashion, I was supported by not one but two Cancer Rising angels who showed up with rides, groceries, and medicine. Cancers to the rescue!
This episode is a soft landing space for the Cancer New Moon. We explore the themes of
nurturing,
rest, and
emotional safety,
and I offer reflections on Cancer’s connection to the
body, spiritual care, and
feeling at home within ourselves.
especially with Jupiter now in Cancer, expanding our capacity for intuitive connection and healing over the next year.
I also share about my new offering, “7 Sisters” a 7-week journey beginning in July, rooted in the Pleiades, spiritual hygiene, and grief processing. 
Then, I’m joined by the deeply intuitive and visionary Barry Lee, a Cancer Moon artist, illustrator, and writer based in Atlanta, Georgia. Barry is the creator of the Gentle Reminders Oracle Deck and Guided Journal, and their work centers emotional self-care, softness, and storytelling.
In our conversation, we explore:
The 6 of Cups & the power of nostalgia
A non-hierarchical approach to intuitive tools
Life as a Disabled artist with Nager’s Syndrome
Moving through spiritual bypassing
And learning to sit with the discomfort of the body
This one’s tender, honest, and full of heart. Thanks for being here.

Astrology of June 2025 – Upcoming Transits

As a portmanteau of both of their offerings, Taylor Ursula of 'That's So Pisces' is joining forces with Jeff Hinshaw of 'Cosmic Cousins' to bring to you THAT'S SO COSMIC – a new monthly series, dropped at the start of each month, that offers you cosmic insights into the transits of the month ahead through a queer, non-binary, gender-expansive lens.  
Each time we gather, we pull a tarot card for the month ahead, look at the sabian symbol of an outer planet, take a question from a curious caller, and listen to a song by a queer artist.On this week's episode, we breakdown the month of June 2025, listen to one's of Taylor's songs titled 'Swingtown Blues' and celebrate the start of this new collaboration.
 
Join me in New York City!
If you are in the New York City area, honor Jupiter entering Cancer with me on Sunday, June 15 at Maha Rose – through celebration + ceremony, we will connect to the element of water, build a collective altar, and connect to Cancerian themes like home, family and belonging.
One of the ways I do this is through connection to the plant world. So I will be bringing with me some plant allies from the Mojave desert to aid us in our ritual. Hope to see you soon.

Welcoming Pride Month
As we welcome the start of Pride Season, I’m honored to re-share something close to my heart. Last year, I had the incredible opportunity to publish an article in The Evolving Astrologer Magazine. The piece is titled “Zodiac Queers: Celebrating 12 LGBTQ+ Historical Figures through the Zodiac” — and it remains one of my favorite writings.
This article uplifts the stories of 12 LGBTQ+ ancestors — each aligned with a zodiac sign. If you missed it last year, or if you’d like to revisit it with fresh eyes, you can read the full article on my substack or through virtual PDF format for free by clicking this link. My article is on page 92. 🌈
