Letters of the Zodiac came to life during a season where everything slowed down, not by choice, but out of necessity.

For a long time, I lived at a corporate pace. I worked in law and finance, followed the familiar 9 to 5 rhythm and assumed life would keep moving forward in a neat, predictable way.

In 2020, when my husband became unwell with long COVID, everything changed. I became his full time carer and the future I thought we were building together quietly unravelled.

Life after that was slower and quieter and far more uncertain than anything I had known before. At the same time, it was also more raw and honest.

In the space between hospital appointments, long days at home and learning how to live alongside grief and change, I returned to tarot. It wasn't about answers or predictions. It became my safe place. A way to reflect and feel when logic no longer made sense.

I began pulling cards not to control what came next, but to soften into what I was going through.

Letters of the Zodiac is my offering to you - a collection of tarot readings and reflections designed to help you do the same.

To pause.
To feel.
To soften into your own story, whatever that might be.

Much love,
