Solar Summit
YOUR PERMANENT SOLSTICE
You keep asking why you’re here.This is where that question finally answers back.Solar Summit isn’t another workshop.It’s an initiation into the architecture of your purpose — the pattern in you that turns insight into gold, that makes everything you touch grow.You don’t chase your purpose here; you meet it face to face.
Through guided visioning, mythic storytelling, and embodied astrology, you’ll learn to read the map that was written in your stars and grounded in your bones.This is where meaning stops being an idea and starts being muscle.
A ceremony of direction, courage, and creative fire — your permanent solstice.
overview
Solar Summit is an intimate online rite of reconnection with the living intelligence of your purpose.We gather at the Midheaven — the point in your birth chart where the Sun stands at its height — not to analyse it, but to enter its perspective.Through guided visioning, mythic storytelling, and embodied astrology, you’ll learn to relate to your purpose as something alive: a presence you can question, listen to, and be changed by.This isn’t about technique. It’s an experience of orientation — where your chart becomes a living landscape you can move through, guided by story, symbol, and the felt sense of your own becoming.
what to expect
Mythic exploration of the Sun and the Midheaven — the meeting point of your inner light and your place in the world.
Guided visioning and embodied meditation to connect directly with your calling as ally and guide.
Space for reflection and integration through journaling, creative prompts, and shared dialogue.
Practical insight into how your chart’s natural rhythms can support your next phase of growth and expression.
You’ll leave with a new language for your purpose — not an idea to chase, but a relationship.
Something to tend, not to master.
A mythic role that reveals itself as you live it.
Who It’s For
This space is for people who can feel something larger moving through them — a force that won’t leave them alone until they answer it.
For those who have outgrown surface answers, who’ve built the career, done the work, collected the tools, and still wake with the question: What now?
For creators, founders, healers, artists, leaders — anyone whose work is an act of becoming.
You don’t need to believe in astrology; you only need the nerve to meet yourself in a new language.If you can feel the next version of you pressing at the edges, Solar Summit is where you let it through.
Structure & Practicalities
The Solar Summit unfolds through four live sessions over four weeks.Each one builds on the last: first we listen, then we climb, then we integrate, then we arrive.Each live session lasts around two and a half hours, held weekly via Zoom.The exact shape shifts with each group; the through-line is your purpose finding its form.Group size
Limited to eight participants so that every voice and chart has space.Investment
£425 for the full four-week experience.This work has been many years in the making. It’s the first time it’s being offered in this small-group form, and I’m holding an introductory rate as it opens to a wider circle.Optional Discovery Reading (1 hour, £133) — a personal 1:1 session to explore your chart and see whether the Summit is right for you.This is a significantly reduced rate from my standard reading fee (£225), available only for those considering the Summit.If you join, your £133 is credited toward your place.
(Introductory offer; available for a limited time.)
Delivery
All sessions are held live on Zoom — not recorded.
The work happens in real time, in community. What’s created in the room stays in the room.
Between sessions you’ll receive simple reflective prompts to help the insights land in your daily life.
bring
Your exact birth time
A willingness to listen, be seen, and share
a note on readiness
This work moves slowly, imaginally, and asks for presence — from the heart
It also invites a willingness to let yourself be seen and to listen deeply to others.
This may be for you if:
You value inner reflection as well as information.
You can stay present to your feelings and imagination.
You’re comfortable being seen and sharing something of your own experience.
You can hold space for others’ stories with warmth and respect.
This may not be the right moment if
You’re seeking quick tools or answers.
You find guided imagery, symbolic language, or shared reflection difficult.
join the summit
You don’t need another course to explain who you are.
You need a place to remember.Solar Summit is an invitation to stand at the height of your own sky — to see your direction clearly, to claim it, and to live from it.The next live cohort will form over the coming weeks.
Places are limited to eight participants so the work stays intimate and personal.If you’d like to explore whether it’s a fit, you can begin with a Discovery Reading (£133, credited toward your place if you join).
If you already know this is your season, you can reserve your seat in the Summit (£425).Applications are reviewed as they come in; when the circle feels full, enrolment closes until the next round.
before you join
Do I need to know astrology?
No. Curiosity is enough. You’ll be guided through everything you need to know; your chart is the map, not a test.What if I miss a week?
Because the work happens live and in dialogue, it’s best to attend each session. If you can’t make one, you’ll receive prompts to stay connected to the group rhythm.Is this therapy?
No — it’s mythic, symbolic, and creative work. It may feel therapeutic, but it’s not a substitute for therapy. It’s an invitation to listen differently to your life.Can I do this one-to-one instead?
Yes. If you’d rather work privately, you can book a personal series instead of joining a group. Just mention this when you get in touch.

Re-member the way
Where Self Meets Soul
A collaborative process of intuitive mentorship — weaving astrology, symbolic, and shamanic tools into conversation with the living intelligence of the world you inhabit.Whether you arrive in curiosity or in crisis, this is where we begin — right where you are.Every question, confusion, every inner prompt, every turning point carries its own intelligence — together we listen for it.This isn’t therapy, and it’s not fortune-telling. It’s a creative conversation with life itself — with the world as animate mirror, mystery as collaborator, and imagination as the means of becoming.
.
Hidden talents and abilities are uncovered.
New perspectives emerge.
New pathways of possibility are encountered.
.
There are many ways this work can unfold — each begins with a single conversation.
ways we can work together
Single Session
A moment of ignition.
One conversation to step into the current — to tap the movement of life, to listen for what within you is ready to speak.
Come as you are; leave with breath in your bones and a new thread to follow.Tailored Immersion
For when life feels like a storm or a birth — chaotic, vivid, alive.
Together we dive in, hands open, making pattern and meaning from the motion itself.
This is creative alchemy: the art of turning the raw material of your days into direction.Ongoing Mentorship
A deeper rhythm, where the work becomes a way of life.
Intuition and expression weave together — making the magical your everyday language.
As Mercury intended.
what to expect
Each session is bespoke. We may draw on conversations with the living intelligence of your chart and other divinatory tools and transmissions from the unseen worlds beyond — inviting you to step into the dream that is dreaming you into being.
Deep attunement through your birth chart — a living map that reveals your timing, tone, and creative signature.
Shared exploration through story, image, and archetype — language that brings clarity without losing mystery.
Profound practices that bridge seen and unseen — dream, body, and imagination — so that insight can become integration.
Space for reflection, grounding, and renewal — where understanding meets embodiment.
who it's for
Anyone who has lost their rhythm and longs to feel life's current move through them again.
Those standing at a threshold — between endings and beginnings — feeling the pulse of change and ready to move with its potential, in devotion and discovery.
Seekers who sense something more tugging at the edges, asking to be found and followed.
Intuitives who are anchoring their gifts in daily life — translating vision into voice, and wonder into form.
Dreamers who delight in discovery — bringing their soul-language to the surface, to speak in symbols, and make meaning of the unseen.
Artists of becoming and myth-makers at heart — those who stay curious, creative, and alive to new ways of seeing.
This is a conversation with the living intelligence of your chart, and a transmission from the unseen worlds beyond it — inviting you to step into the dream that is dreaming you into being.

about me
.
I’ve walked away from the edges of boardrooms and broken paths alike — never compromising truth for comfort.
I’ve followed the thread of change across continents and countries, careers, relationships, loss, and initiations — always guided by something deeper than logic.Rooted in both business strategy and delivery, as well as the sacred arts, I bring lived experience from inside hierarchies, creative collectives, independent, cross-sector work, entrepreneurial ventures, and years of deep inner work.Forged by renowned spiritual teachers and influential leaders who embody their truth, I have shifted from six-figure self employed work (GBP) supporting NHS-commissioned organisations and from the brink of scaling a private healing practice to following the promptings of my own guides into a long hush of seclusion - the empty room-, the embrace of more junior roles, and the challenge of severe limits.I didn’t realise it was happening until it had happened, and I didn’t realise what I was learning until I had learned it. It taught me to listen: to silence, to the unseen, and to the self beneath the noise.I walk with others as they remember who they are, supporting them as they begin to loosen the ties that bind, and choose the life that calls.Together, we reclaim your power and step - poised between fear and excitement - into the space where certainty fades and possibility unfolds.
Training and Credentials
I hold an MSc in Consciousness, Spirituality, and Transpersonal Psychology from the Alef Trust in partnership with Liverpool John Moores University, alongside an Honours Degree in Psychology from the University of South Africa.I am a certified astrologer from the Mayo School of Astrology, and have also studied Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy.My energy healing training includes Theta Healing, TAT, and Reiki (Master level).I have developed intuition through a dedicated self-paced study of Western ceremonial magick, tarot, and runes, and have undertaken intensive, apprenticeship-style hands-on shamanic training over several years — most notably with The Sacred Trust.With nearly two decades of client work and personal practice, I bring a grounded, imaginative, and compassionate approach to creative exploration, soul work and transformation.

reflections & feedback
Testimonials
Over time, I’ve noticed how the gateway into sacred or intuitive work can be shaped — and sometimes subtly narrowed — by the voices and experiences of others.Words meant as praise can unintentionally create influence, comparison, or hesitation. Critical reflections, whether considered or offered without care or context, can introduce noise or dissonance. Both can pull us away from our own felt sense of what’s true.I would like to explore what might happen if I leave space for something else to emerge: a connection between you and the work itself.I invite you to notice what arises through the felt sense of this space — how your intuition responds to what you read here, and what your body knows before your mind makes a decision.That said, if social proof is important to you, you’re welcome to read the reflections of others who have worked with me before.The words you’ll find here are offered by those I’ve worked with — shared with permission, never required. Each one is a glimpse into their experience, in their own voice.
You can also visit me on The Circle platform, where I offer spontaneous, pay-per-minute readings. These conversations are shaped by the immediacy of that setting and offer insight, affirmation, and symbolic clarity in the moment.The reviews you will find there from clients in that context are unmoderated.
You are also welcome to a reading with me via The Circle. If you use the link below, I receive a small commission as a gesture of thanks.
Ongoing Feedback & Living Research
I hold this work as a living practice, and your experience of it matters deeply.I am continuously listening, not only to how it moves in others — but to how it evolves me.As part of this inquiry, I invite informal reflections and more structured feedback during, between, and / or after our time together.This ongoing reflective practice is designed with care — to support your integration as much as to help me stay close to the impact of the work and to refine how it is offered.These shared reflections — offered in the moment or with hindsight — become part of the arc of the experience itself. They allow the work to deepen, to clarify, and to continue unfolding beyond the formal edges of the session.I may one day share insights or patterns that emerge — but never in ways that identify you. Any findings shared publicly will be distilled and anonymised, offered in the same spirit of respect with which they were received.

HUMMINGS
Threads from the spinner of grace
Welcome to this gathering place for my written pieces: mythopoetic essays, symbolic wayfinding, field notes from the liminal. Some arrive as reflections, others as transmissions.The intention is that each piece be as a thread spun by Chariklo, the Spinner of Grace — a resting place along the way of healing, for anyone who might be nourished by these words as they walk their own path of becoming whole.

Mercury: A Mind That Moves in Many Directions
When Mercury turns his steps to shadow, the world hums with mixed signals — delays, reversals, chance encounters.Yet beneath the static, another rhythm speaks: the pulse of a mind that once dreamed the World Wide Web into being.In this reflection, I follow Mercury’s trail through shadow and synchronicity, finding not chaos but conversation — the kind that teaches us to think forwards and backwards at once, and to meet the world as it speaks.

Sun in Scorpio
Each night, the sky goddess Nut swallows the Sun — and each dawn, she gives birth to him anew.As the Sun moves through Scorpio, we enter the heart of this mystery: endings that open into beginnings, darkness that gestates the light to come.Every dawn is born of your transformation.

I don’t personally track individuals or build profiles. If you decline cookies, no analytics or non-essential tracking will be used. You can also manage or block cookies anytime in your browser settings.
If You Get in Touch
If you email me or use a contact form on this site, I’ll receive your message via my Gmail account. I’ll use the information you share (such as your name, email address, and anything you write) to respond to you directly. I won’t share your message or your details with anyone else.
If You Join the Mailing List
If you sign up to hear from me, I will store your name and email address securely within the MailerLite service. I may use this list to occasionally let you know about workshops, offerings, or other updates.
You’re always free to unsubscribe using the link in any email, and I’ll remove your details promptly.
If We Work Together
If we meet for a session, I may ask you to share personal information such as your name, contact details, and—if we’re doing astrology work—your birth data. This is used solely to prepare for and carry out our work together. I may keep this information in:
Encrypted digital files (on my password-protected devices or Gmail)
Printed notes, stored securely
Astrology software (to generate your chart)
If we record a session (with your explicit consent), I’ll send the recording to you via a secure file-sharing service (like WeTransfer).
I treat all such information with confidentiality and respect, in accordance with UK GDPR. I retain personal data only for as long as it is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected — typically up to 6 years for administrative or legal obligations, or sooner if you request deletion (unless there’s a lawful reason to retain it).
As part of my ongoing commitment to integrity and reflection, I may bring elements of our work into professional supervision — a confidential space where I’m supported to deepen the quality of care I offer.When I do, I take great care not to share identifying details. However, if you happen to work with more than one practitioner within a shared professional circle, it’s possible that your presence may be recognised through context.I name this not to cause concern, but to honour your sovereignty and ensure clarity in the way this work is held.
Testimonials & feedback
If you choose to share a testimonial, you can decide how your name appears (full name, first name only, or anonymous). I’ll only use your words in the way you’ve agreed, and I’ll keep a record of that consent.As part of my ongoing inquiry into how this work is received and evolves, I may share general patterns or insights that emerge through client feedback.

Data Sharing & Security
I never sell or trade your data. I may disclose it only if legally required to do so or to protect someone’s safety. I take reasonable steps to store your information securely, but no system is ever completely foolproof. Please be aware that anything sent over the internet is done at your own risk.
Some data may be stored or processed outside the UK (e.g. by services such as MailerLite, Gmail, or WeTransfer). I choose providers with strong privacy practices and data protection standards.
Third Parties
Some services I use (like MailerLite, Gmail, or WeTransfer) have their own privacy practices. I choose providers I trust, but I encourage you to review their policies if you’re concerned.Sometimes I share links to other websites that I think you’ll find interesting or helpful. They’ll have their own ways of doing things when it comes to privacy and data, so I always suggest looking at their policies. I only link to places I trust, but I can’t take responsibility for what happens on other sites.

Terms of Service
.
why this matters
This is a simple explanation of how I (Yvette Marks), as a UK-based sole trader, hold our working agreements — with care, integrity, and transparency.This isn’t just a legal page — it’s a shared agreement about how we meet in this work. It exists to protect the spaciousness, clarity, and depth of the container we create together. These words are offered not to control, but to care — for the process, for each other, and for the unseen forces we honour in this work.
Booking & Payment
Sessions and workshops are arranged through direct email conversation. When we agree a time, your space is held in trust — and confirmed once full payment is received.For those in the UK, payment is made via bank transfer. For international clients, PayPal is available — with the request that any additional processing fees are covered by you, so that the full amount listed on the website is received in full.All prices are clearly shared on the website. They are offered with integrity and reflect the energy, time, and preparation involved in this work.For bespoke packages or longer-term journeys, pricing is agreed in advance through email conversation, in accordance with the nature and rhythm of the work we’ve discussed.
cancellations & scheduling
Time is sacred. When we make an agreement to meet, a space is created and prepared for you.If you need to change a one-to-one session, please do so with at least 48 hours’ notice. Short-notice cancellations (less than 48 hours) are fully chargeable, as the time has been set aside for you.For multi-session journeys (such as a 10-session package), up to two reschedules are welcome with 48 hours’ notice. This allows for flexibility while still honouring the arc of the work we’re entering together. Missed sessions outside this are not carried forward.To keep the energy of the work alive, it’s encouraged that multi-session journeys be completed within six months of beginning, unless we’ve agreed otherwise.Workshop bookings are non-refundable and non-transferable, as these spaces are limited and energetically held from the moment of registration.In the unlikely event that I need to cancel — due to illness, emergency, or technical interruption — I will of course make every effort to reschedule your session in good time, and in alignment with your needs.
relational integrity & group space
This work rests on shared care. The space we enter together is built on mutual respect, honesty, and an understanding of the sacred.I may bring our work to a close if the container is no longer supportive — whether due to persistent misalignment, harmful behaviour, or a breakdown in trust. This is not about judgment, but about maintaining the safety and clarity needed for the work to unfold.In group settings, your experience is always yours to share. For the wellbeing of all participants, the stories, words, and inner processes of others are to be held in confidence and not spoken of beyond the space.
communication between sessions
Contact outside sessions — such as to arrange a time, ask a practical question, or check in — is welcomed with warmth and presence.That said, to honour the rhythm of this work and the boundaries of the container, communication between sessions is kept spacious and purposeful. Email is the preferred channel, and I ask that we keep back-and-forth exchanges concise and clear so that our energy remains focused for when we meet.Each point of contact is meaningful, and the space between sessions is part of the journey.
The Nature of the Work & What It Can Open
The offerings here — including astrology, ancestral insight, sacred guidance, and shamanic work — are not services in the conventional sense. They are invitations to step into a deeper relationship with life, with yourself, and with mystery.These processes may support:
A more anchored and spacious sense of self
A reawakening of curiosity, wonder, and meaning
A loosening of patterns that no longer serve
A felt connection to your ancestry, intuition, and inner wisdom
A deeper orientation toward story, purpose, and mythic belonging
A renewed relationship with time, nature, and the unseen
This is not outcome-driven work. It unfolds through presence, through rhythm, and through your own willingness to engage. What arises may be unexpected, gentle, challenging, beautiful — or all of these at once. The invitation is not to fix, but to remember.
an additional note on integration
It is possible that this work may stir what’s long-held or hidden — and sometimes, what emerges can feel tender, disorienting, or energetically intense. While every person’s experience is different, it can be helpful to allow spaciousness around our sessions.Buffering your schedule with quiet time, journaling, or gentle activity can offer your system the space it needs to land and integrate — before re-entering the full pace of daily life.This is not about bracing for difficulty, but honouring that meaningful inner work unfolds on its own timeline.
Limitations & Scope
This work does not offer clinical advice or medical diagnosis. It is not a replacement for therapy, mental health support, or medical care. If you are currently receiving professional support for physical or mental health concerns, please continue to do so alongside any work we do together.This space is offered in complement, not in contradiction — honouring the role of all forms of healing.
third parties
From time to time, I include links to other websites — ones I genuinely think are worth checking out.That said, I don’t run those sites, so I’m not responsible for what they say, do, or how they work. If you follow a link from here, it’s a good idea to take a moment to read their terms and policies, just to be sure.
Website & Communication
The website is a space for information and connection. You are welcome to subscribe to email updates if you wish to stay in touch.All content on this website — including images, writing, and structure — is the creative work of Yvette Marks and may not be copied or reproduced without permission.
Legal Holding
These terms are held under the laws of England and Wales. Should any disagreement arise, we agree to seek resolution first through honest conversation and mutual respect.
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be updated occasionally. If the changes are significant, I’ll let you know via email (if you’re on my list) or update the website.

Purple Seership: A Vision that Re-Shapes Reality
The long arc of Pluto in Aquarius is power to the people. On 7 July, Pluto’s ruler, Uranus, slips into Gemini, interspersing solid facts with possibility via magical bursts of betwixt and between....This is new narrative...flowering words that give new voice to vision.
.
...In citadels of paper and certainty, borrowed thoughts are braided into new canons, each citation a fragile ghost conjuring a weight of tradition where none was ever given.Yet beneath this lattice of footnotes and man-made dogma — the agreed-upon rules and second-hand truths that pass for fact — lies a thinner realm: a veil-like fabric at the Jungian divide, where psyche breathes life into matter.
.
Here, words soften, melt, and life hums at the edge of what we can name.This terrain is well known to certain souls — sometimes called shamans — a word itself borrowed and traded across tongues, wearing no single meaning, no fixed custom, no final shape.Its very ambiguity is a gift: a tear in the citadel’s paper wall through which both speaker and seeker slip beyond the illusion, gather counsel from hidden allies, and return carrying seeds to rewild that which has grown stale.
.
One strand winds from the centre of this web into the heart of the paper’s source — the trees of the forest — where honeybees hum stories of origin and possibility.To the Orphics, the bee is the human soul, so its story is our story, its origin our origin, its possibility our possibility: ancestors who once devoured their hosts alive but, over time, turned hunger into honey, loneliness into a hive — proof that morality can emerge within nature itself.They honour this morality in a gentle covenant with flowers: a mutual promise to feed and be fed, to take nothing that is not returned in sweetness.
.
Like shamans, honeybees accompany each birth and passing, moving between worlds as keepers of the soul’s crossing.In this way, they dance at the thresholds — guiding souls and tending the unseen, the oldest shamans in fur and flight.
.
But they are seers too: their way of seeing is a wonder of its own.For us, purple does not appear in the rainbow’s arc — it is a bridge our eyes conjure by uniting the short waves of violet with the long waves of red.Bees, too, carry this gift: their eyes blend ultraviolet with visible blue to create bee purple — a shimmer we cannot see but which flowers have learned to wear.
.
This is no fable but nature’s truth: blossoms coloured themselves to the bees’ favourite vision, shaping petal and pigment to beckon these visitors whose visit keeps the world alive.Within this miracle lives a deeper alchemy: what is seen shapes what is.A way of seeing draws forth a colour; a hidden hope shapes a day.
.
The bee’s eye paints the garden; the shaman’s eye paints tomorrow.
.
Uranus, ruler of Pluto’s Aquarian path, slips into Gemini — quicksilver tongue, trickster story-weaver, a little explosion scattering betwixts and betweens of possibility between the solid facts.In place of one fixed truth, you are invited to remember your purple seership — the living way of seeing that bridges edges and colours the world each time you look.Colour your prose purple, awaken your purple seership, and find your hum.

As ever, this is just my way of reading the symbols. When I say you, us, or we, I mean me — and you too, but only if you want to and only if it feels right for you.

Stories from the Deep
.
Your story, written in myth.
And Pluto in Aquarius is turning the page.
.
At the centre of the earth is the place where the ancestors lie. This is Pluto’s realm: the underworld — a place of presence from which fumes rose up and out through fissures in the rock and filled the cave at Delphi. That cave, the omphalos — the navel of the earth — was believed to be the axis where this world and the otherworld met.
.
The Pythia, seated at its centre, did not speak for herself, but for Apollo — solar deity of light, harmony, and prophecy, who brought pattern to the deep. He helped make the unconscious conscious — and it was the Pythia who gave it voice. Messages were spoken that shaped city-states, leaders, and centuries. Her utterances seeded stories that still move through us today.
.
The myth of Orpheus and Eurydice also belongs to this underworld geography — the story of a couple in love.
A snake in the grass, a single bite. Eurydice fell, and the world changed.
She descended to the underworld — and Orpheus followed.
.
He did not bring weapons. His grief became sound, and his song moved stone. Even Hades and Persephone were stirred. They offered him a deal: Eurydice could return with him to the life above ground, but only if he went ahead and did not look back.
.
Most versions of Eurydice's story end here, naming Orpheus’s backward glance as failure — a moment of weakness, doubt, or disobedience that cost him his Eurydice.
.
But zoom out, and the story is bookended by a swarm of bees who always die at the beginning — and who, with the help of the gods, always return to life at the end.
.
Pluto as an archetype twists and turns throughout this tale:
He is in the snake that bites Eurydice — as ruler of Scorpio, often symbolised by a snake.
He is in the state of death that the snake causes — as ruler of death.
He is in Eurydice — whose name means profound judgment, just as Pluto has long been associated with the tarot card Judgment — the card of reckoning, resurrection, and return.
He is in Orpheus — as the shamanic figure who can move between life and death.
He is in the place to which Orpheus travels — as ruler of the underworld.
He is in the process of change as ruler of life, death, and rebirth – of transformation.
.
Pluto is not only the ruler of death and rebirth.
He is the keeper of what we exile: the envy, the grief, the rage, the hunger to possess.
Those things we call evil — inflicted upon us, inflicted by us.
Not sins — but raw psychic matter, waiting to be worked.
.
This is the shaman’s path.
To descend into what others fear.
To make contact with the festering places.
To hold what poisons — until it reveals its medicine.
.
Healing begins here. Not in separation from the pain of others, but in resonance with it.
The wound is not removed — it is repurposed.
And what is transmuted in one becomes possibility for all.
.
Pluto does not purify by avoidance.
He transforms by contact.
He spiritualises the instinct.
He pulls gold from the grave.
.
And Eurydice.
She was not simply lost — she was taken, and then transformed.
She is not only the one who dies; she is death itself, the threshold, the reckoning.
She is the return - not as the one but as the swarm.
Her name — profound judgment — is not incidental.
She is not a victim in a story.
She is Pluto, in feminine form — , she embodies the hard truths we often turn away from. She is what must be faced.
.
because Eurydice is in everything.
In the shadow you avoid.
In the ache you carry.
In the silences you inherit.
She is what is exiled, and what calls you back.
Orpheus descends, and Eurydice returns -
no longer the one, but the all.
.
The success of the myth lay not in retrieving the one, the Eurydice Orpheus sought, — but in re-membering the hive. In Orpheus being followed out, not by the one, but by the many. By the swarm.
.
We are in this story too.
To the Orphics, a bee represented a human soul.
If one of us dies - if Eurydice dies - so do we all
.
.
As Pluto moves through Aquarius — sign of the individual and sign of the collective, of the one and of the swarm — what will your story become?
When I began developing some of these ideas while undertaking my MSc, I paused and asked myself — had I gone too far, linking Pluto with Eurydice? Then I checked my solar return chart: the asteroid Eurydice was exactly conjunct Pluto.The solar chime rang again when the impulse to share this story more widely arose — this time under a Leo New Moon. As I opened the chart of the moment, there she was: Eurydice, sitting right on top of the Sun and the Moon. I followed the thread — and kept listening, in all the ways I know how.May it honour all who inspired it — those in spirit, in story, and in the everyday world.
.
As ever, this is just my way of reading the symbols.
When I say you, us, or we, I mean me — and you too, but only if you want to and only if it feels right for you.
.
.
If something in this story stirred your own — a memory, a longing, a truth beneath the noise — you’re welcome to come closer.
I offer one-to-one spaces and workshops for those drawn to depth and enchantment, shaped by myth, chart, spirit, and the subtle threads that move through life.There’s more below, should you wish to follow the thread.

Mercury: a Mind that moves in many directions
.
When Mercury steps into his shadow — tracing the path he’ll soon walk in reverse — the usual warnings begin to stir: Mercury Retrograde brings delays, glitches, miscommunications.But what if we thanked Mercury instead?After all, Tim Berners-Lee, the creator of the World Wide Web, was born with Mercury Retrograde in Gemini — Mercury in its own sign, thinking backward and forward at once.Without that upside-down brilliance, we wouldn’t even have the digital web that connects us right now.Mercury Retrograde reminds us that the cosmos isn’t linear.
It asks us to look again, to re-member — to find new meaning in what we thought we already understood.
.
As ever, this is just my way of reading the symbols. When I say you, us, or we, I mean me — and you too, but only if you want to and only if it feels right for you.
How this view formed
This began long before the signs appeared in the outer world.
During a shamanic journey in the midst of a Mercury Retrograde, Mercury came to me — quicksilver in friendship — and said to listen past what I thought I knew: even in retrograde he would help.I didn’t yet understand what that meant. But in the moons that followed, his promise began to take form.During a stretch of classic Mercury Retrograde “mishaps” — car troubles, computer breakdowns — I began to notice a subtler pattern: synchronistic signals that seemed to precede or echo each event.I passed someone teaching two boys how to change a tire. It was such a Mercurial scene: youths, learning, movement, hands-on mechanics, all ruled by the planet of agility and translation. I scoffed, thinking how people would attribute it to Mercury Retrograde. And then, days later, I had a flat tire of my own — no tools, no know-how, and the realisation that I’d been shown the lesson and had missed it.During another retrograde, a friend’s computer kept crashing when he tried to read a message I’d sent; he told me after that each restart brought him closer to the truth of what I was really saying — and saved a friendship that might otherwise have splintered.That’s when I began to see that Mercury wasn’t bringing disorder at all — he was speaking. Those so-called glitches were synchronistic signals, invitations to step into conversation with a universe that was already trying to help me — if only I would listen.I wrote about this in Tales of an Aspiring Shaman (2017).At the time, everything I read treated Mercury Retrograde as a problem to endure.For me, it became a portal — from frustration to inquiry, from explanation to conversation with the living world.Since then, his language has never stopped — in glitches and grace notes, in crossed wires and sudden clarity — in the messages inside missteps, all shining with the same Mercurial logic.
If this speaks to you
If you sense that your own reversals might be invitations rather than mistakes, you might enjoy Solar Summit: Your Permanent Solstice — a one-day, mythic immersion into purpose as a living dialogue between heaven and earth.Or, if you prefer a more personal exploration, you can work with me one-to-one through Re-member the Way — a conversation between your chart, your story, and the living world that moves with you.

Sun in Scorpio
The Nightly Journey of the Sun:
Nut, Ra, and the Scorpio Process
.
Each night, the sky goddess Nut — Queen of the Heavens — swallows the Sun.And each morning, she gives birth to him anew.Once upon a time, the Sun God Ra forbade Nut to bear children on any day of the year.But the god of wisdom, Thoth, gambled with Khonsu, the Moon, and won five days’ worth of Khonsu’s light.On those sacred days, Nut brought forth her divine children:
Osiris, Isis, Set, Nephthys, and Horus.Through them, the eternal rhythm of existence was expressed —
creation,
death,
destruction,
magic,
renewal.As the Sun travels each night through the body of Nut,
so too do we move through these same powers —
the Scorpio process itself ♏🟢Osiris — death and renewal⚪Isis — devotion and magic🔴Set — chaos and transformation🟣Nephthys — shadow and mourning💛Horus — reborn lightAs the Sun moves through Scorpio, remember:
Every dawn is born of your transformation.P.S. Myths are mirrors, not maps — take what speaks to your own rhythm, and let the rest drift like stars beyond your sky. As ever, this is just my way of reading the symbols. When I say you, us, or we, I mean me — and you too, but only if you want to and only if it feels right for you.

Reviews

One to One
I’ve worked with Yvette over a number of years through astrology readings, shamanic healing, and learning to journey for myself.This work has been life-changing.Each step has helped me listen to my heart rather than my head and trust my own intuition more deeply.It helped me develop a relationship I might have walked away from into a loving, supportive marriage, and to let go of guilt and shame so I could reconnect with someone else who is incredibly important in my life.What I value most is that Yvette never tells me what to do — she holds a space where I can listen to my own wisdom and my own guides.- Client Testimonial, 2025

Workshop
I have always felt safe within the space that Yvette creates. This is why I return to work with her.I joined the Solar Summit with little knowledge of astrology and left with a new way of approaching myself.The guided visualisations were so useful and I came away with a new perspective and agency for what I might do next.You don’t have to digest everything on the day — it set a course for me with lots of revelations I can return to.- Jo, Solar Summit: Your Permanent Solstice Participant, 2025

I am very touched by and grateful for the work of Yvette. It’s very profound, profoundly healing and does so good to me. Thank you so much Yvette, danke!— Katharina Hoepfner
I cannot recommend Yvette highly enough.

Yvette is an absolutely extraordinarily intuitive tarot and astrological reader. I’ve used her services on a number of occasions when faced with a difficult decision or choosing a particular life road to take.It’s like she knows me better than I know myself! Compassionate and clear, with a wealth of astrological knowledge and psychic intuition that she uses specifically with your personal chart and circumstances; means that she can direct you to the heart and resolution of most problems and how your future may unfold.I’ve really begun to have a much clearer understanding of who I am from her excellent guidance. Cannot recommend her highly enough.— Sarita Cameron
Yvette compiled an Astrology birth chart reading for me back in 2016. I was genuinely surprised at the accuracy of the information delivered in terms of identifying key personality traits and the timing of major life events. The reading helped me identify things I need to work on and has given me an excellent overview and perspective on my life. As a result, I have been able to identify blocks and patterns, which in turn has facilitated moving forward in life with more ease.Yvette was very professional in her approach, her in-depth knowledge of Astrology’s complex workings was delivered in a way I could easily understand and relate to. Her knowledge of people and personality types also comes across very well; this enhanced helpful insights and revelations for me throughout the reading. I would definitely recommend Yvette to anyone looking for guidance in their life through Astrology.— Becky Morton
Very interesting and helpful to look at things from a different perspective and to think about why things may be happening as they do and to understand how my characteristics may help or hinder responses to them.— Sian Barry
Yvette’s reading was very accurate and I was amazed at how well she described me. She also gave me pointers as to where I should be going with my career — things I have felt I should have been doing but have not listened to my inner voice. I am now about to embark on a course that I wish I had done years ago.Thanks Yvette, I have also told my daughter she should have a reading with you.— Tegwin O’Connor
A very insightful — very telling reading.Yvette could see exactly what had been going on for me in the last few years by looking at my chart.I’m excited for what will begin to unfold later this year; I have the information now to know when to go for certain aspects in relation to what is highlighted in my chart.— Tallulah Harlech
On the Introduction to Astrology course, Yvette created a fun, sacred and supportive space where I was able to explore the wisdom of our cosmic skies as a beginner in astrology.Right from the beginning, I came away feeling excited and hungry for more because of the insightful, intuitive and encouraging way in which Yvette teaches; she made the topic, which once seemed so overwhelming, easy to grasp in a step-by-step and meaningful way and I got to laugh heartily too.I learned a lot about myself and about what astrology can do. I would do this course again and, because of this introduction, I intend to study astrology professionally.— Rosemary Roberts
Yvette’s readings are a pure mix of science, intuition and guidance.Every time I’ve had a reading with Yvette, quite a lot of it hasn’t been terribly clear to me — however, as the year starts to take hold, everything she explains starts to make a lot of sense.Every time, our sessions have been eye-opening, thought-provoking and very accurate! I’d recommend to anyone looking for guidance, questions answered, or even for an interesting insight into the year ahead.— Chelsea Parsons
I really enjoyed this event [By the Magic of the Moon] and got a great deal out of the experience.I feel I am moving forward with great positivity and peace of mind due to Yvette’s great knowledge of astrology.I look forward to other events Yvette will host in the future and I will also encourage my friends and family to attend as well.— Rachel Horne

Yvette gave me a very informative reading and explained why I have certain traits that I do!
Very interesting and a great thing to do at the start of a new year.I came away with more of an understanding and what the stars above say about this year. Highly recommend!— Angela Brickhill
I approached Yvette for an astrology reading not having clear ideas about what to expect. I did, however, know that it was at a time when changes were occurring personally both radically and rapidly.I was so pleased to have contacted Yvette at this time. She offered extremely rich, accurate and understandable insights about my life journey and character, as well as offering informed and helpful practical guidance.This information has been incredibly useful to help shed light on certain areas of my life, path and purpose, as well as contextualizing situations for future reference.— JM
A chart reading with Yvette was insightful and inspiring.She gave me words of comfort and encouragement regarding my past and current struggles and some guidance as to what to focus on moving forward.I feel inspired now to learn about all that astrology has to offer and how it can inform and guide all our lives!— Hannah-Phoebe Bowen
I asked Yvette a question about my work prospects for the future and got a full and satisfactory answer. The detail was fantastic and Yvette made it all so easy and simple to understand.I also had the opportunity of receiving some shamanic healing, which was carried out in a peaceful and caring manner, with extremely positive results.I am in no doubt that her work is genuine, that she has a positive link to spirit, which is reflected in her gift as an astrologer and shamanic healer.— Thomas Marty
I listened to the recording [of the mini reading] and I am blown away! Thank you so much for your insight, it resonated with me deeply.The reading helped me understand myself better and gave me the clarity I needed with regards to the question I asked. You got to the core of my chart beautifully.You are an extremely gifted astrologer and I will definitely come back to you in the future.— AC
Thank you so much for the [mini] reading. It was very accurate, insightful, and gives guidance — it gives an outside perspective when it’s hard to get out of your head.— Amanda
I have just listened three times to your [mini] reading… and to be honest, I was blown away.Your reading really helped clarify things for me.— PB
Your [mini] reading was spot on.You have a brilliant talent for seeing the person within the chart.— Margaret
Her [mini] reading was detailed and presented from many angles, yet she kept returning to the big picture themes present in my chart, so it all made sense. She wove together a story that brought together the information visually and emotionally, and I felt like we were casually chatting in the same room, even though she was miles away.Her knowledge of the traditions she’s working with seems endless and offered me a fresh perspective on my questions.I hope to have the opportunity to work with her again soon.— Lyn
The mini ‘scopes reading was perfect for responding to my very specific issue and helped me to understand the experience as a whole.Your reading with Spirit was remarkable. You unknowingly picked up on a very specific and key element of Spirit that I have connected with in recent months.Direct, and without question.— Anon
