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. 😅

👉 CLICK HERE TO JOIN THE COSMIC COMPASS FOR FREE! You’ll get to learn astrology, weekly insights, seasonal strategy, and my favorite intuitive tools for navigating business, burnout, and brilliance.

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

My hands were shaky as I tried to keep hold of the phone. "Are you still there?", said my friend Julia. "yeah.... I'm still here.", I said trying to not show the shock in my voice from the news. "I'm going to get off the phone, now. I have to go to work.", I said almost surprising myself, with the abruptness. I hung up the phone and took a deep breath. I had just discovered that one of my best friends had O.D'ed just the night before. This was a shock to many that were close to him. He had...

Hey Reader You know those people in your life who just get you? Like, so much so that when you’re talking, the rest of the world might as well be in airplane mode? That’s my brother. He and I have always spoken our own weird little twin-language. Since we were kids. Before trauma. Before therapy. Before astrology even found me. It’s how we process the big stuff—like sobriety, identity, and the tangled mess of being human. So we decided to hit record. This week’s podcast episode is the first...
