Hey, travel creator!
Since this is the last day of a (super long) month, I decided to do something fun with this newsletter today…
Share one of my (woo) interests with you.
Something you may not know about me is that besides being a travel-loving hotel addict, I’m also a homebody who thrives on her spiritual rituals.
I study karmic astrology (not horoscopes), do Tarot readings (for myself and friends), bought my first pendulum in Dam Street in Amsterdam, found treasured Norse runes and crystals in the magical Emerald Isle, and am a trained Numerologist.
Seriously!
Reply to this email with your date of birth and I’ll give you a short reading for February (it’s crazy aligned!)
But I digress…
What I thought may interest you lies at the intersection of astrology and geography - making it relevant to travel.
I’m talking about astrocartography!
Have you ever considered using the stars to guide your travel and living decisions?
Astrocartography can help you find your optimal location based on your unique astrological chart. By mapping the planetary positions at your birth onto a world map, Astrocartography reveals the places on Earth where the cosmos aligns with your personal energy and potential.
Sounds intriguing, right?
With astrocartography you can:
Find the location that supports your life goals, career, and personal growth.
Uncover hidden talents and abilities that may flourish in specific geographic locations.
Maximize your opportunities for love, success, and happiness.
After I discovered astrocartography I realized why my time in Ireland felt like my soul had come home.
Have you ever felt like that about a destination? Instant connection without a logical explanation?
So, whether you are a travel creator looking for the perfect backdrop for your next video or a digital nomad searching for the ideal location to work and live, Astrocartography can help you make informed decisions and find your place in the world.
If you’re interested in learning more, you can generate a free astrocartography chart here.
Anyway, I haven’t published any new content this week (spending the last week with my parents before they head back to Portugal) but you can check out the following posts if you’ve missed any issues:
In February, we’ll be diving into various topics related to pitching to and writing for travel magazines.
