Hi babblers! Don’t worry we are almost through winter and Timothee Chalamet’s insufferable Oscars campaign *eye roll* No like seriously I can’t take either anymore! I’m happy to report I finished my first session of classes for the spring semester with a 3.3 gpa, tehehehehe, now just one more class for this semester and I’ll have finished my first semester back in school after 7 years!!

February ended up being quite a trying and busy month between a beautiful week spent in Jamaica, a heavy workload at school, and being paralyzed with anxiety because my cat was diagnosed with mild asthma. It wasn’t really the asthma but her reaction to being on steroids was scary and the fact that I spent all of January silently spiraling, thinking something was wrong, and then it wassss, very nearly sent me into a psychosis. Also not sleeping so I could check her breathing throughout the night didn’t help ward off potential psychiatry intervention either. But we are making it through and hopefully by next week this whole thing will be behind us and we’ll move forward knowing what asthma triggers to avoid, finger’s crossed.

Even though I was basically hands off all last month, babblings had it’s best traffic and user sign up month! SO THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU & WELCOME to all the new subscribers, I seriously look at everyone’s usernames and profile pictures and am in awe that I’ve somehow managed to attract the coolest, hottest, smartest, people on the planet. I mean I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised, I’ve been manifesting you after all.

Taking a step back in February also helped me gain clarity on where I want to go with babblings so we are yet again moving around the upload schedule, see the video below for more details.

So excited for what’s to come! Hope you enjoy this month’s babblings’ report !!!

🌟 Blog Post Recs for March🌟

🔮 March Tarot Reading 🔮

*First a quick little note from me to you about the tarot reads*

OVERALL: The Castle – Read card summary below

TO RELEASE: The Empress – Whoopsie we may have gotten a little too comfortable…we may be indulging ourselves a little too much. So with the overall castle energy, we’re really being asked to step out of our gilded cages. Sometimes we may check all the boxes off our life to do list, our home might look like our pinterest boards, maybe you’re the image of success you always imagined or what your peers imagine success to be. But are you happy? Are you fulfilled? Looking happy and actually being happy are two different things. Sometimes we get stuck in the illusion we created, get comfortable in the lush palace we curated, so much so that we don’t realize it’s actually holding us back.

This reading isn’t meant to be love oriented, but when clarifying a lot of relationship energy came out. So I’m going to say something I stray away from saying: some of you are in romantic relationships/entanglements that you NEED TO LET GO OF. It is not easy, I know. But this relationship is truly keeping you from progress whether you want to recognize it or not. This particular relationship looks great from the outside, checks off your theoretically boxes of an appropriate relationship, it may be very comfortable, but you know you truly aren’t fulfilled. You know you want something else you’re just too afraid to go for it.

TO EMBRACE: Two of Wands – It’s time to embrace taking a chance. Boldly moving away from your comfort zone to pursue the greater unknown. Stop weighing all the options or variables, and make a fucking decision. It’s time to leave the castle and go on an adventure.

TO LOOK FORWARD TO: The Star – All the possibilities of the world will be available to you once you commit to leaving the castle. The path to what makes your heart sing will naturally unfold in front of you if you are courageous enough finally release what isn’t serving you and confidently orient yourself in a new direction.

SPIRIT GUIDE: Leo – Leo often gets glazed over as the center of attention and main character energy. But behind that is really raw confidence and strength. Leo energy at it’s heart is not afraid to go after what it wants, or to be real and express those raw emotions. Leo doesn’t shy from the spotlight, the lion stands boldly in it’s truth. Know this energy is supporting you, all you have to do is embody the lion.

CHARM: The Bald Eagle – The charm is once again the bald eagle. Which really confirms for me that the universe and our guides desperately want you to recognize your own personal freedom and exercise it.

SUMMARY: You guys want something but won’t go for it, I don’t know what it is, and I definitely don’t know why you won’t just go for it. But you have to stop being afraid. Otherwise, you’ll spend the rest of your life daydreaming and wishing. If this message doesn’t resonate then no worries, it’s not for you. This message is for my people that know exactly what they want but are too afraid to say it out loud. But you know.

🌸Preparing for Spring/Spring Equinox Celebration Ideas🌸

Okay I do a lot of talk about wintering, enjoying hibernation, and not stressing about hitting goals during Winter….BUT it’s time to lock in bitches and get ready to have the best spring where we thrive, grow, and bloom! Here’s what we’re doing to prepare and some ideas for celebrating the spring equinox on 3/10/26.

🌛 Movie(s) of the Month 🌛

Superstar (1999) & Little Miss Sunshine (2006)

Okay so while pondering what to watch for March I was looking at the overlapping Pisces, dreamer energy, with Aries, doer energy. This month is all about examining the movies that embody the dreamer and the doer, the person with big, out of the norm dreams, and actually goes after it, no matter how absurd. The energy is dreamy, a little kooky, impulsive, and determined.

Superstar was an immediate obvious choice, I haven’t watched in forever so I was due for a rewatch. The main character Mary embodies Pisces and Aries energy, dreaming beyond her social station as “loser” and embarking on an awkward but determined journey to do what it takes to kiss the popular Sky (Will Ferrell).

I went back and forth for a while about what to compliment Superstar with and decided to stick with the comedies and do Little Miss Sunshine. I’m sure I’ve watched this movie in passing but not enough to know what happens, just that a kooky family impulsively leaves their mundane world behind to help the daughter reach her dreams of winning the Little Miss Sunshine competition. While still a comedy, Little Miss Sunshine is known to be heart warming and a positive family coming of age story that I think will compliment and ground us after Superstar.

💗 Gaining Clarity Through Mood Boarding💗

I mentioned early that this is essentially the last chance to pull on the collective pisces and lingering aquarius energy and really get creative about the direction you want your life, your space, your style, etc to go this year. This is the perfect time to experiment and discover things you didn’t even realize you like. I find that mood boarding isn’t just a source of inspiration but can also help clarify your desires amidst the never ending hamster wheel of flashy, new, and trendy that’s poured down our throats via the interwebs.

I’m someone that has been working to refine my closet and listen to my inner voice when it comes to fashion instead of passing trends. But often with shopping or seeing things on the internet I can get distracted by shiny things that I end up regretting getting because it’s not really me. And I can do the same when it comes to home decor. So to avoid excessive and unnecessary purchases I use mood boards to ground me and as a point of reference when I’m contemplating buying something. It can also be really helpful to clarify your personal style or the direction you want to go for interior design or the meals you want to cook or the way you want your life to feel.

My advice to do this authentically is to create a board for the specific category and just start pinning. Try to find creators who’s style you already like and pin them, pin textures your drawn to, colors, shapes, movie sets or characters, etc. Once you’ve done that go through the board and write down the common elements you find. So for example in my “chic-ethereal-vampire-but she’s ruled by jupiter” personal style board you find a moody color palette, simple and similar silhouettes, a mix of clean and messy hair styles, bold accessories, red accents, and I’m also drawn to things that can age with me. It’s not one set aesthetic, but it’s me and that’s the whole point of personal style. And it’s not about recreating looks one for one, but about getting an understanding of the foundation of what I’m drawn to and what I know looks good on me so when I do shop or put a look together I know my style pillars.

Looking at my “whimsical vampire nest” home decor board there’s a common thread of natural materials, jewel tones, animal print, candles, and mixed textures. And I didn’t make these boards with specific intentions I pinned what I was drawn to and then found the through line. I am someone that has a pretty concrete sense of self and you can see the similarities between the boards which affirms to me it’s just naturally what I’m drawn to. But it may take you a few tries and couple different mood boards before you start to see the cohesion. But if you keep at it, you’ll find that you are naturally and authentically drawn to different elements and it will clarify how you want your life to look and feel.

xoxo,

Ali Ann!
