the grounded sky

Hi! I’m Heather, and if you couldn’t tell from those first three words, I’m an {elder} millennial and mom to three young-ish kids (8, 6, and almost 4) coming into my own spiritual practice.

I have always had an interest in astrology, crystals, dream interpretation, and everything witchy, but over the past year (as I entered my 40s), I have begun to feel a pull towards nature, ritual, and the divine feminine within me. This blog will serve as documentation of my journey into this new realm of spirituality, my new way of being. And really, it’s not necessarily a new way of being, but, rather, a reclaiming of who I am, who I have always been.

What to Expect Here

Wheel of the Year

In December 2025, as we approached Yule on the Wheel of the Year, I wanted to incorporate the 12 Days of Yule into our family’s Christmas traditions. We started on the eve of the winter solstice sitting in the dark with a single lit candle and shared what we appreciate about the dark and what we look forward to with the returning of the light. Throughout the 12 days, the kids and I made sun ornaments to hang on the tree, the adults (both my husband and I and our parents) shared stories of our own Christmas traditions, and celebrated with food, music, and laughter – all things that encompass both Christmas and Yule.

As we approach Imbolc, I want to continue celebrating each Sabbat both on my own and with my family in a seamless way that moves with the rhythms of nature and our established family dynamic. This blog will be used to document that journey, answering the question “What does it look like to practice the Sabbats as a wife and a mom?” I know I can’t be the only one around trying to figure that out.

Astrology

Natal Charts. Moon Phases. Current Transits. All the things!

I have spent the past six years working to actively learn astrology, specifically natal charts and how who we are is who we have always been meant to be. Learning about my own birth chart has helped me to understand myself more than therapy ever could. With that understanding came a genuine acceptance of who I am, and from that I have been able to become the person I have always wanted to be.

I am STILL learning. As a perpetual student, I will always be learning. These days, I am focused on how I can best show up for my husband and children using my understanding of their cosmic designs.

I work with the new and full moons, setting intentions and reflecting on my growth, and sometimes my kids come along for the ride here, as well (we’re still spritzing bodies and beds with the powerful grounding energy from the Taurus full moon water we collected a few months ago).

Tarot

Tarot and astrology are connected and work beautifully with one another. I use Tarot to help point me towards and focus on the answers I already have within myself. At this point in my practice, I do not read Tarot for others. It is a very personal journey for me and a practice I am still learning.

For what it’s worth, the idea of this blog came from a conversation I had with my mom one morning after pulling the Page of Pentacles – a messenger that indicates new opportunities arising; that when we see these opportunities, we should take action. And then it flew out of my deck again three days later.

And More?

I am constantly growing, moving, shifting, so who knows where this journey will go and what I will document from it. My goal is to be intentional and authentic. To create something for myself but also for others like me who might be feeling alone in their journey. To reflect on where I’ve been and where I am. To see the joy a beauty of a life authentically lived.

So, welcome! Thanks for being here and coming along on this journey with me. I’d love to know who you are and how you’re hoping to connect here. Leave a comment if you feel so inclined. Here we go!
