This is The Place. Stories of travel, planets, and place. Through my own personal musing of travel and astrology, I use my experiences and those of others to share the wisdom of the planets to find greater communion on this earth.
your 2024 gift guide
Gifting is an art, and when we bring the elements of astrology into the mix, it becomes an artful expression of our unique nature. Each zodiac sign carries a signature essence, shaped by one of the four elements: Fire, Earth, Air, or Water. These elements aren’t just cosmic labels—they reveal the heart and soul of how we live, love, and yes, even what gifts light us up inside. Despite your love language, you can find resonance inside your zodiacal makeup.
This isn’t your average shopping list. It’s a guide to delighting the spirited Fire signs, pampering the sensual Earth signs, inspiring the curious Air signs, and nourishing the soulful Water signs. Whether it’s a thoughtful gesture for someone special or a little treat for yourself, this guide will help you find gifts that truly resonate on an elemental level.

Think of our analog paper as a necessary elixir for inspiration, relaxation (when all your best ideas come, anyway), and action (via our monthly journal prompts & practices).
