Hi. We're Gemma & Tara.
聽
We are sisters who talk about astrology constantly. At dinner, on the phone, in the car, at 1am. Some of the best things we've ever understood about a chart came out of those conversations, not out of a book.
So we wanted more people in the conversation.
Once a month, we get together online for聽an hour or so and talk charts. Yours, ours, the sky's. Come when you can, leave when you need to, bring whatever's on your mind.
5pm PST
over Zoom聽
Thursday
October 22nd
No syllabus, but it gets specific
Bring the placement you've been googling at 2am.
The kind of questions we love:
- What does it actually mean to have Venus in Scorpio in the 8th house?
What is your 12th house trying to tell you? - Where's your Vertex, and why do certain people feel fated?
- What are the eclipses doing in your chart this season?
- What's the deal with your North and South Nodes, or Rahu and Ketu?
- Why does money feel so loaded for you?
- What happens when your Mars lands on someone else's Moon?
Synastry, transits, dashas, progressions, that one aspect you've never understood. Or none of those. We follow what's alive in the room.
What it's like
聽
Before there were books, there was the fire. People gathered around it at night, looked up at the sky, and told each other what they saw. That's how the stars were first learned: out loud, story by story, passed from one person to the next.
We gather the same way. No lectures. Just good questions, in the old Socratic tradition, asked honestly and followed wherever they lead.
And we bring our lives into it. When someone shares what their Saturn return actually felt like, or how a Pluto transit took them apart and put them back together, a placement stops being a definition. It becomes a story you'll remember. That's what makes it stick: not memorizing, but recognizing. Feeling it land in your own body and your own history.
So pull up close. Come as you are, stay quiet and listen, or jump in with your own read. Everyone has a place by the fire.
If you miss one, the recording's there.
Sisters, artists, and two people who can't stop talking about astrology. Between us we read charts through Western and Vedic astrology, Human Design, and Balinese wariga. We don't always agree, which is half the fun.
We both come from Vipassana meditation. We've spent years sitting and volunteering at silent retreats, and a lot of years traveling the world. That's where we learned to look at what's really there, not just what we expect to see.
Tara has spent the past five years building a business in the world of transformation, and her readings are known for being uncomfortably accurate, in a loving way. She's a poet, a DJ, and a painter. Gemma is a tattoo artist, painter, and fire spinner who reads a chart the way she'd read a canvas: through the images, the patterns, and what's asking to be seen.
We're less "teachers" and more the ones who host the conversation. Expect two perspectives, a lot of finishing each other's sentences, and inside jokes you'll soon be part of.
"I use the strategies I learned in this masterclass daily. They help me show up for myself and my family in incredible ways."
Dina Porters
"I love the live practice sessions included in the masterclass! Being able to put what I learned into practice right away was powerful."
Petra Shrew
Everyone's welcome, really

Professional astrologers, total beginners, people who just found out they have a moon sign. You all belong here, and you all add something.
If you've been reading charts for twenty years, come share what you've seen. If you don't know your rising sign, come ask.
A beginner asks a question nobody's thought to ask in years, and a professional astrologer sees their own chart differently. Someone shares what their Pluto transit actually felt like, and it lands more than any textbook definition. Fresh eyes and deep experience in the same room is where the good stuff happens.
We learn from you as much as you learn from us.
