Hey there! I'm Tamarah & I teach families about NATURAL ways to live a life they LOVE! My name is Tamarah Bartmess.

I grew up in the great NorthWest but currently live in Utah. I am a wife and a mom of 3 girls and 2 boys as well as my 3 Angel babies that passed on during pregnancy. I am kind, genuine, sincere, driven, focused, spiritual, generous and loyal. I was drawn to using doTERRA essential oils because of the gentle way they empowered me as a mother to have a choice in naturally caring for my children's w

ellbeing. They have brought so much more into my life, including an amazing business and team of likeminded friends who are seeking a better way of life. I am passionate about helping others improve their wellness. I would love to help you too!

What does it mean when Mercury goes Retrograde?

Technically it means that as it moves slower than the earth around the Sun, it appears as if Mercury is going backwards.

In Astrology, the multiple retrograde events reflect the dance of Mercury expressing in either its Gemini or Virgo rulership.

When moving direct, Mercury expresses more like Gemini, gathering information through conversation, connection and curiosity.

When Retrograde it’s taking that info and digesting it, internalizing and analyzing all the information gathered.

Especially in this day and age of information overload, Mercury Retrograde becomes a reprieve from the external and an invitation to the internal. Time to slow down and process what has actually been learned and gathered.

If you fight it, you might come across more struggle than is needed. So plan accordingly. 🤓

Because Mercury will be Retrograding in the Earth Signs of Capricorn, Ta**us, and Virgo, you will want to take that analyzing and introspective energy into releasing/healing your connection with the structures in your life, the way you use your resources and if they truly reflect your values, and if your daily work is a reflection of what you truly desire to build and achieve in this life.

Mark your calendars for Mercury Retrograde 2023! It’s gonna be good!

Over the last 50+ years, astrology has become less and less esoteric and more and more psychological mixed with self awareness and personal development.

With so much information at our fingertips there is no reason you can’t learn to synthesize your own birth chart to help you see the path before you that honors your unique gifts and talents that the world needs from you!

In my experience it’s the mix of knowledge + intuition that can help to get a clear view of what the stars are validating for you.

My job often becomes helping connect the dots between what you are experiencing and the energy behind it and providing tools to help you move through that space with patience and confidence. This is my sweet spot and something I love to help you explore for your own growth and personal development!

Do you view astrology as esoteric or as a something with deeper insight and personal value?

For those that consider themselves empathic, how many of you also have some kind of autoimmune condition or family history?

I’ve been on this journey for a good while now, trying to piece together my story and it’s roots. I’ve seen how I’ve had weak boundaries in a variety of ways and this has lead to an internal confusion of what emotion is mine and what is not.

The older I get the better I am at observing the energy around me, but not absorbing it.

Meditation has taught me so much about observing my thoughts. Energy work has shown me the consequences of absorbing energy.

So a personal mantra for me has become this:

Observe, don’t absorb.

I can say this with great confidence now because my experience has informed my belief that I am not responsible for the emotions others carry. It doesn’t help them and it greatly hurts me to try and take that in as a futile attempt to comfort and console them.

I can observe it around me and flowing through me even, without it absorbing into my systems and impacting me in unhealthy ways.

This is part of why I believe I have had to learn through my autoimmune journey to have healthier boundaries of all I am picking up around me.

The emotion and energy around us is information. It doesn’t need to infiltrate and set up camp and throw of our own flow and ways of being.

Call me the rebel… I’m not buying everyone’s hype.

Moving to the beat of my own drum I guess.

This isn’t the time to start new goals, as much as it’s the time to review your goals and dreams and how you’ve made progress with them.

Capricorn season is sorta like the last quarter moon of each month. Review, finish up, get rid of and prepare for a brand new season like you would a New Moon.

Look over the last 3 seasons of the year (Spring, Summer, Fall) and decide what is left to do to meet your prior goals and if a pivot needs to happen.

During the next month of Aquarius, well, that’s when you might break out of the mold and tap into your inner genius as it relates to your goals of the past and future.

During the month of Pisces start looking at your beliefs. What do you need believe to achieve your new found goals, path, and purpose? What kind of faith do you need to embrace to move forward by letting go?

Then when the Fire month of Aries (March/April) hits… then run! 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️ 🏃 and do all the Fire things that creates new life!

Don’t feel you have to do what the world markets and marketing want you to do.

Don’t buy the planner.

Don’t get a gym membership.

Don’t change your diet.

Hold on. Be still. Observe yourself. Plan and prep, but don’t fall into doing things just because everyone else is.

Listen to and follow your own rhythm… and you might find it wants to align more to nature than to the modern world.

Be you. It’s a beautiful thing.

There is no normal.

There are routines and habits and beliefs, but there is no normal.

And I’m so glad for that.

I love seeing the beauty of each individual person as I read their birth chart, or get to tap into their energy systems in a session.

The goal isn’t to be normal. The goal is to know who you are, all the shiny spots and the rusty ones too. Then allow the beauty of God’s love for you, His creation, help you love it all too.

Then you are more able to provide a compassionate space for others to learn the same thing for themselves.

There are times for questions and there are times for answers.

Now isn’t the time for answers.

Information, that is meant to provoke questions, is right now swirling in the air like a wind storm.

I want the storm to calm, but when I look at the stars, I see that this isn’t going to happen anytime soon.

In Astrology the Moon Nodal Axis (south node to north node) help indicate a current lesson cycle we are in. The south node is in Sagittarius right now and the north node is in Gemini.

As I’ve reflected on this 18 month nodal cycle, I am seeing more and more that the information chaos storm we are in the middle of is what will help prepare the environment for more clarity and answers in 9 years time, when the nodes switch and the south node is in Gemini and the North node is in Sagittarius.

Be ok with your questions... but more importantly, be ok with the fact that the answers might not come for a long while yet.

Questions are what help us seek more truth.

Is it unnerving to feel as if we are in the midst of a never ending war of words? Yes, it can be. Yet, the energy of the moment is allowing for you to tap into your own Gemini nature and let the curiosity expose more and more... and more.... questions on all different kinds of levels.

With the Trine and Square aspects also in play with significant planets... in the Aquarius air sign as well, be careful about who you consider “authorities”, or “popular opinions” and chatter.

One of the pitfalls of a Trine aspect is staying in a old rut because it is easier than the work to move out of that old groove.

With the Squaring of the nodes to the Sun and Venus in Pisces, be aware that it could be easy to fall into illusions that make your ego nature want to stay the same and admire yourself all the more for not doing the work of asking more questions.

Remember... resign yourself to the fact that this is the Question 🙋‍♀️ time... answers won’t come for quite a while... and that’s ok.

There are beautiful patterns all around us and one that gets a lot of attention is the cycle of the moon within a 28 day period.

From new moon to first quarter to full to last quarter and back to new moon.

There is an annual cycle as well, as the moon moves through the signs and seasons in a year.

Today @ 9:59pm MT it will be the exact conjunction of the Sun and Moon to create a New Moon. The first one of 2021!

On April 4th @ 4:02am the Moon will be in Capricorn again while the Sun is in Aries, creating the 90° Square Aspect that is we would call a First Quarter.

On June 24 @ 12:38pm the Sun will have moved into Cancer and the Moon will oppose it 180° in Capricorn again for a Full Moon effect.

Then on October 12 @ 9:23pm the Moon will be in Capricorn again at a 90° angle to the Sun in Libra, creating the Last Quarter effect.

Then on January 2, 2022 @ 11:33am the Sun and the Moon will come back to exact alignment for the first New Moon of the new year.

What does this mean? Well, that the goals you put in place that relate to the energy of Capricorn will have a full cycle of flow, tension, hesitation, opposition and stress as the moon makes its way back to the beginning of a its Capricorn New Moon in a new year.

What can you do?

Well, with any New Moon/conjunction energy, you are presented with the opportunity to be still & in the darkness of the sky, release and prepare for rebirth, specifically in relation to all that is associated with Capricorn.

•career
•reputation
•responsibilities
•traditions
•ethics
•economics
•leadership
•example
•maturity
•pragmatism
•ambitions
•authority
•legacy
•etc.

So NOW is the time to make goals for this area of your life. Start putting your plan into action!

Each months New Moon in a different sign will help you set New Intentions in the energy of a new sign, so don’t feel obligated to address all areas of life at once. The sun and the moon will guide you along, all year long.

Make note of the dates above in a phone reminder to review where you are at in relation to the process you are making with the intentions you put in place now!

Have you ever seen the rings of a tree? How they grow so slowly, just one ring a year leaving its legacy to how that year impacted the tree as a whole. When we look at a tree, we just see the outer results of so many years of consistent growth displayed inside it.

Each year we get to decide what the ring will look like by what we choose to focus on.

When the sun is in Capricorn it really is the perfect time to consider new goals but especially from the perspective of are my goals in alignment with my higher purpose? Am I living in a way that leaves a legacy?

When looking at your birth chart there are 3 key things to look for that will show where you will leave a legacy.

1. Find where Saturn is on your birth chart or solar return
2. Find where Capricorn is and what planets are in its influence.
3. Find the sign cusping your 10th house and the planets in it too.

All of that can help you find confirmation/validation that what your goals and choices are will help build out the legacy you will leave on the earth.

If you would like help finding how you go about building your legacy, message me for a simple career and legacy chart reading.you must know your exact birth time for the most detail.

I don’t think I’m the only one who feels some level of 2020 PTSD and emotional whiplash!

I’ve been trying to find the word for how I feel about wrapping up 2020 and entering 2021 and the word that came to mind was apprehensive.

There has been so many moments and experiences that have impacted all of us. I can imagine many of us feel in some way hesitation about what’s still to come in 2021.

So here’s what I’m doing and maybe it will help you too.

Use Tamer on your belly every single day! It will help integrate, process and digest all the thoughts feelings and experiences that haven’t been uncovered yet but where brought on by 2020.

Then, use Thinker on your forehead and neck to help with the information/stimulation overload so that you can focus on what really is most important!!

These moments like the new year are times of fresh starts, new beginnings, different goals and clear intentions.

I love using natures gifts to help me use my body as part of the healing and daily living experience we all face.

Which oil do you think you need more of as you wrap up 2020?

🤔 Thinker?
😋Tamer?

Sometimes I ask myself this question. And I imagine others asking it as well.

Why astrology?

Isn’t that some new age thing?
Isn’t that for people who don’t believe in God?
Isn’t that for superstitious people?
Isn’t that just horoscopes?

What other reasons have you heard?

As someone with a firm belief in a Heavenly Father, in Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost, astrology has become a gift for me to see myself through Heaven’s eyes. It has helped validate things about me that have been told me in spiritual blessings and strengths profiling, things I knew about myself but doubted or didn’t understand.

3 years ago I was struggling to feel any kind of self confidence or self worth. I remember the the night I happened across You Say the song by Lauren Daigle and I cried myself to sleep with it on repeat wondering ‘what does He see in me, because I felt so broken.’

Astrology became a tool I feel He brought me to say... ‘I’ve seen you since before you were born. I know you Tamarah. Trust me.’

For me, astrology has increased my faith in God. It has show over and over his profound love for me along with the deep love He has for all of His children on this planet.

It’s also helped me see things that I never saw before but were always there. Things that allowed me to more consciously choose how to embrace and live my life from a place of empowered choice over reactive habits.

Our experiences, our personalities, our tendencies all present opportunities for us to use our power to choose how we will respond and what we will create more of.

We all life under the influence of the heavens every day, studying the cycles of the heavens helps me be more consciously aware of the choices and opportunities for growth before me. You can’t appreciate, change or improve what you don’t choose to see.

Why astrology?
Simply put: astrology is for those who want to be seen and to see.

What do you want to learn or understand more about regarding astrology?

3 years ago Thanksgiving broke me in unexpected ways. By all appearances it was a year of highs in a new home with new adventures and accomplishments. But as we all know, that can change suddenly.

The day before, we went to our 18 week pregnancy checkup and for the 4th time in 10 years, was presented with no heartbeat for our baby, who we all felt would be a girl.

We came home to tell our children that Thanksgiving would be a bit different this year. It felt a lot more somber. I cherished the quiet time with our kids in anticipation of the events of the following day.

Black Friday wasn’t about shopping for us, it was about checking into the hospital and going through all the motions of delivering a baby we would never get to take home.

This loss broke my heart. I literally felt the crack. Maybe it was because I had experienced multiple spiritual witnesses that she was waiting and ready to come to our family. She was ready for the adventure and I was hesitant. Every pregnancy was an act of faith in God, my body, and my heart’s capacity

We named her Mira Grace. Her name reminds me to Look for the Grace in my trials.

I’m now able to say I’m grateful for such trials.

I’m grateful for the way every loss has cemented my faith that there is life in the womb and after death. How could you not see that when holding an 18 week old body.

I’m grateful for the ways it has changed me, my life path and focus after each loss.

I’m grateful for my living children who openly talk about their 5 siblings in Heaven.

I’m grateful especially for Jeff. I have seen marriages break under the weight of grief and I’m thankful that we found strength and comfort in each other. He is the most precious gift I have ever received from a loving Father in Heaven. He is my perfect partner and a healing balm for me in so many ways.

I am thankful for life. I am thankful for death. I am thankful for hope. I am thankful for the ability to smile and laugh again.

Today I will again, for a loving Father in Heaven who sees me, knows me, and has provided the way, through His Son, that death has no victory, where His grace is sufficient, and Joy cometh in the morning. @ South Jordan, Utah
