Make Yourself at Home 🏡 + Birthday Celebration 🥳

Hey Beautiful,

Welcome to the brand new format of Dr. Sarah’s newsletter, launching at the tippy top of my birthday month and birthday week!

The purpose of this revamp is to provide you with more encouragement and practical wisdom. Whether you just want to feel a little better, make inspired art, or lead a global revolution to change the world, this newsletter applies!

What better time for a redesign than a 40th solar return? You saw that right… I turn FORTY on June 6th! 🥳 So I’m treating this as the most special week of my year, starting with crafting a new newsletter that feels delightful to deliver.

What you get today is a prototype of what you’ll get from me each week in the email format of “Your Weekly Refill.”

Fill Your Cup: Make Yourself At Home 🏡

This year the month of June is carrying the vibration of the number 6. Not only is June literally always our 6th month of the year, but the numerology of June 2025 also happens to be 6! This is the energy of home, family, community, love, nurturing, and service. And it includes you nurturing, loving, and being at home with yourself.

This first week of June, our lovely lady Venus moves back into her cozy penthouse cottage in the woods. Meaning: Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and pleasure moves into the earthy zodiac sign of Taurus, her home sign. Since Venus is returning home, she wants all of us to feel at home too!

Venus in Taurus is the most overt call to treat yourself and to treat yourself well. This energy will be supporting us for a whole month. You have permission to pamper yourself just for the sake of pleasure. You always do! This month, though, you don’t even have to “justify” it by saying things like: “I need to take care of myself so I can continue to show up for others.” 😉

This month, practice nurturing your needs and wants just because it feels good to do so. And let the way you take care of your physical and spiritual bodies, demonstrate your capacity for self-love. Remember: “Your body is your first home.” If you’re shy about this, let Venus lend you her grace as you relax into deeper self-care.

And there’s even more in the month of June! Later this month we enter Cancer season, the zodiac sign that rules… (you guessed it!) home, family, roots, and the foundations of our lives. Cancer is a very family oriented sign, whether that’s biological or chosen family. Think about who “your people” are and make time to nurture those relationships too.

Next week, Jupiter the planet of good fortune and expansion will enter the sign of Cancer, lending that area of life even more focus and favor, and it will be there for 12 months!

If you’re anything like me, you can also use these beautiful vibrations in June to spruce up your physical dwelling. See a few of my suggestions in the video below!

Fulfill Your Destiny: Think BIG! 💭

This week Mercury will meet up with Jupiter at the farthest edge of Gemini. Think BIG! Take your brainstorming, your percolating ideas, your expansive philosophizing, your questions, and stretch them to the edges of your imagination, curiosity, creativity, and spiritual awareness.

The last degree of any zodiac sign is considered peak pressure and highly potent. It’s already a power surge just having Jupiter hanging out here. Now we’re adding a second planet, which is also the ruling planet of Gemini.

This is a great opportunity to activate a mental breakthrough, unlock a new level of conscious awareness, or to have a game-changing conversation. Make a little more time for reading. Try a new podcast. Jot down your seemingly random thoughts and ideas, because they could turn out to be gems.

I often associate Gemini energy with the translucent puffball of dandelion seeds being blown into the wind, carrying forth our wishes to take root in the future.

POETRY: “Moving towards Home” by JUNE Jordan

I begin this month of June with a featured poem by a poet who bears the same name: June Jordan (1936 - 2002). I had dinner with a former mentee yesterday, and she was carrying June Jordan’s poetry collection Living Room, which is where this week’s featured poem was published.

In her poem “Moving towards Home,” June Jordan bears witness to those whose homes are colonized, stolen, bulldozed, blown to bits; those whose homes are violently emptied of family members; those who are seeking home once again through the wilderness of grief.

The full piece is linked above, and I quote a portion of it below:

What’s Brewing?

Returning to YouTube!

I am back from my hiatus and creating new content again on Dr. Sarah’s Café YouTube channel all about dreams, tarot, meditations, astrology, and spirituality. I’m gradually gaining momentum this week starting with a Tuesday Tarot pick-a-card reading.

My simple birthday wish is for donations to my St. Jude Children’s Hospital marathon fundraiser! You can give any amount, and every amount helps! Here’s the St. Jude fundraising site, or you can Cash App or Venmo @ColorismHealing.
