This week was weird. And perfect.



Hey you,

This week I had one of those “what is even my life?” weeks.

It wasn’t dramatic. No plot twists or cosmic explosions. Just a string of random little moments that somehow made me feel more… myself.

Like: 🍜 Eating Chinese food with my friend, Kymmie while an older woman we’d just met (who may or may not be a time-traveling oracle in disguise) dropped the kind of casual wisdom that made me want to tattoo her words on my forehead.

🦜 Getting introduced to my friend Terrie’s Molluccan Cockatoo on video—who honestly had more sass and presence than some of the people I’ve worked with. His name is Yossi Yaki and he's 26 years old and full of personality! We could all learn something from this beautiful guy. (he's about to eat his dried papaya snack!)

🐶 Watching my husband fly a kids’ drone in our backyard while our two dogs took turns barking at it and hiding behind my legs like it was the harbinger of the apocalypse.

🎧 And laughing so hard at a comedy special on Spotify that I snorted my coffee. 10/10 would not recommend, but also kind of worth it?

Nothing on my calendar said “reconnect with your inner compass,” but that’s exactly what happened.

Because when life gets weird in that beautiful, magical way, it reminds me: I don’t have to overthink everything. I just have to listen. To myself. To the energy. To the weird birds.

And that’s what The Cosmic Compass is for.

It’s my free cosmic sanctuary where I share astrology-backed guidance to help you tap into your own magic and move through life and business with more clarity, ease, and intuition.

So if you’re also feeling like maybe the universe is sending you signs through birds, noodles, and backyard chaos… you’re not wrong. 😅

This is NOT another FB group, this is a private space I made for you in an app.

Thanks for letting me back in your inbox. I promise not to disappear again unless a Yossi tells me to.

Cheers,

Tara "having a weird one" Schafer

Hey Reader Quick Question. Have you ever realized you’ve become “less active” only because your body started filing formal complaints? Yeah. Same. In the latest podcast episode, I talk about why motivation is total BS (yep, I said it) and how a tiny shift in perspective made everything feel easier. Here’s the gist: 30 minutes of movement, 5 days a week = 10 hours a month = 5 days a YEAR. Five! Out of 365. And when you apply the same math to entrepreneurship? One hour a day, 5 days a week = 10...

Let me just say it: If I had a dollar for every time a bro-marketing guru barked, “Consistency is KING,” I’d have… well, enough to hire someone else to pretend to be consistent for me. Here’s a true story from literally last night: I had blocked off time to record my podcast. Mic out. Notes ready. Headphones on. Vibes: Awesome Radio Host! But then I made the mistake of sitting down on the couch for “just a second.” (If you’ve ever told yourself this lie, I see you.) Two hours later, I was...
