Gem and the Hologram

They Say Astrology Isn’t Real… So why are billion-dollar companies hiring astrologers in secret? A few years ago, I attended a research conference where a fellow astrologer presented a bold finding.  I asked: "Where’s the p-value?" They said: 🔍 But When Astrology Is Studied Publicly… "Nobody uses those anymore." That answer wasn’t just misleading—it was revealing. The p-value helps us determine whether a result is due to chance or if it is a genuine occurrence. In astrology, that matters. A lot. But instead of taking astrology seriously, most researchers dismiss it publicly... while corporations use it privately. 💼 What I Know as a Certified Business Astrologer: Corporate executives hire astrologers under NDAs, paying $250K–300K annually. They consult for: Mergers IPOs Product launches Market trades Executive timing A peer-reviewed study of 1,300 couples showed that Sun-Venus aspects appeared around relationship milestones at odds of 1 in 244 billion. That should...

Let’s create space in our hearts for vulnerability—the courage to feel.This lunation is about nurturing our inner selves in a world focused on performance over presence. Rather than succumbing to frustration, let's harness this moon's energy. Embrace vulnerability as a strength, confronting your inner struggles head-on. As a Cancer rising, I feel this shift in my first house, highlighting the importance of self-awareness. This moon resonates with Brené Brown’s message: “Soft front, strong back.” As a Gemini sun, I explore how my emotional instincts shape my identity and perceptions. With the moon infusing everything with its emotional energy, we must distinguish our feelings from external influences. Wearing your heart on your sleeve is not weakness; it’s empowerment. Self-love and unapologetic co...

It represents a system of symbolic intelligence rather than spiritual manipulation. Astrology does not constrain individuals; its insigh...

🌿 Being a 12th House Taurus: Rooted in the Invisible  By: Christie Rhuems-Kotzman TWELVE GEMS ASTRO CO. There's something paradoxical—almost poetic—about being a Taurus in the 12th house. Taurus is the zodiac's most sensual, grounded sign, thriving in the tangible world of touch, taste, and stability. Yet the 12th house is anything but tangible. It's the house of dreams, the subconscious, the unseen realms of spirit, karma, and dissolution. So what happens when the most grounded sign finds its Sun (or other personal planets) floating in the mists of the 12th house? 🌌 The House of the Unseen The 12th house is often referred to as "the house of undoing," but this phrase can feel unfair or even foreboding. In truth, the 12th house is the spiritual womb and the psychic sea. It governs: The collective unconscious Isolation and solitude Mysticism, dreams, altered states Spiritual service and healing Self-sabotage and hidden enemies Past-life residues...

PLUTO IS IN RETROGRADE? OH MY!   TWELEVE GEMS ASTRO CO.  Christie Rhuems-Kotzman  Power, Purging , and the Art of Personal Alchemy Pluto doesn't do subtle. And when it goes retrograde, neither do the effects—only now, they arise from within. Pluto retrograde isn't about chaos erupting externally; it's about the quiet, undeniable pull to transform from the inside out. From May 2 to October 11, 2025 , Pluto will be retrograde in early degrees of Aquarius , slipping briefly back into Capricorn in early September. This retrograde serves as a bridge between eras, especially as Pluto slowly transitions from the old guard of Capricorn (2008–2023) into the revolutionary waters of Aquarius (2023–2044). So yes— Pluto is in retrograde... again . But rather than fear it, let's unpack what this moment actually means for us. 💀 Pluto 101: The Underworld Planet Pluto, astrologically speaking, rules death, rebirth, power, control, profound transformation , and all things buried benea...

🐉 The Lunar Nodes: Embracing the Dragon of Destiny. By: Christie Rhuems-Kotzman,  Founder of TWELVE GEMS ASTRO CO. 🔑 What if the key to understanding your life path isn't in the stars but in the space between them?   In astrology, that space is held by the lunar nodes—two invisible points on the Moon's orbit that have the past in one hand and the future in the other. Rather than serving as a map of who we are, the lunar nodes reveal who we're becoming and what we're releasing along the way.    The best part? You don't have to slay the dragon; you just have to ride it. 🤸‍♀️

Hair Stylist Turned Astrologer: A Journey I Never Saw Coming I’ve always considered myself a grounded person—patience is one of my superpowers. As a Mars in Taurus, it’s not just a virtue for me; it’s a defining characteristic. While Taurus is often labeled as stubborn, I’ve learned that this quality manifests as an incredible ability to know when to act, pivot, let go, or sometimes stay still. Staying still, however, has never been easy for me. I’m a mover and shaker, naturally juggling multiple interests and finding ways to balance them all. They say if you have more than three things going on, you have nothing going on, but I believe it’s all about your ability to prioritize. The funny thing is, astrology came knocking at my door when I least expected it. I had always found astrology intriguing, but until then, my knowledge was limited to reading horoscopes in newspapers. Becoming an astrologer, however, was never even on my radar. Then, during the chaos of the COVID-19 pandemic, I...

Why Astrology Works: Exploring the Cosmic Forces Behind Our Life's Journey. There is something deeply profound about astrology—something that transcends the typical scientific explanation of our existence. While astrology isn't always embraced as a legitimate science by mainstream thought, it has been practiced for thousands of years because it provides insight into the human experience that is both practical and powerful . It  enables us to tap into the  cosmic resonance  of the universe and gain a deeper understanding of ourselves, our patterns, and the energies that shape  our lives. While I may be an astrologer now, the journey that led me to this path was nothing short of a personal awakening . As I went through intense transformational shifts in my own life, astrology became the tool that helped me make sense of what was happening. Ultimately, it guided me through one of the most challenging periods I've ever faced. Through this process, I discovered my p...

🩻 THE DAY MY BODY CHANGED: A JOURNEY THROUGH SILENT STRUGGLE, FEAR, AND RECLAMATION There was a moment—sudden, bewildering, and terrifying—when I awoke and no longer recognized my own body. Overnight, it felt as though both my body and mind had turned against me. My once-familiar rhythms were gone, replaced by imbalance, unpredictability, and a constant barrage of symptoms with no apparent cause. Each new day brought a different challenge, a different pain, a different fear. Symptom overload became my “new normal”… until it wasn’t. What began as an invisible battle soon became a turning point. In the depths of my confusion and isolation, I found a light—Judith Hill. Judith Hill, a pioneer in the field of medical astrology, became my teacher and my guide. A trained doctor disillusioned with conventional models of care, she felt something critical was missing in how we treat illness. If we don’t understand the why —the root cause beneath the surface—how can we truly heal? Judith never s...

This is a time when profound messages from the universe begin to flow directly into the mind. My intuition feels sharper than ever. I am attuned to something ancient, wise, and vastly intelligent.
