Thanks for introducing me to another writer with Mississippi roots who has a lot to say. Stunning insight by Emily about her father becoming an "ancestor." Loved the "ancestor wall" and plan to make one myself.
Speaking of family patterns and inheritances, I recently had four generations of my family’s birth charts read together and it was incredible to see the aspects that repeated throughout generations and the ways those aspects changed or shifted over time, too.
I love this! I often do synastry across generations in my own background – just for myself, as a semi-informed novice. I can only imagine how illuminating a professional reading could be!
Another night owl checking in! Been contemplating a family tendency to forget and self-alienate, which I thought was just me, as a matter of self-protection (you know, "no contact" when it comes to violent or abusive people that won't respect boundaries), and realizing that it's practically a family tradition, and so what does that mean for me? One of the things that frustrated me most about my mom was the way she estranged herself from her family so early in my childhood, and then I went and did it myself (though I have no children to frustrate). But my research reveals that this does seem to run in the family, making it difficult to trace the family lines and confirm histories. Frustrating and fascinating at the same time. Anyway, hello, and thanks for the book tips! I've just downloaded The Professor's Daughter.
I’m a night owl, too. There must’ve been one among my ancestors. Thanks for the intro to this fascinating author.
Thanks for reading, Martha! (Secret night owl high five.)
Another night owl here. We're the keepers of wisdom and guardians when all the busy bees are sleeping!
I like this take!

So glad to play a small part in your finding your way to her work!

I met with Aerin Fogel and she was wonderful: https://aerinfogel.com/book-a-reading
