My name is Tasy Nicole

. how it unfolded

The beginning of this story goes back to my childhood - growing up in the countryside, the night sky was a familiar friend. The stars dazzled brightly, and I remember looking up often, humbled by the beauty.

I first discovered astrology while riding the train to high school in the back of the local newspaper. Like many people, it all started with horoscopes. Although I thought some of them were *eye-roll* “tacky or dumb,” it was something I looked forward to every morning before school.

One day in grade 12, my roommate came home with an astrology book with every birth date and a full-page description written out in it. I remember reading mine and was ultimately mind-blown that this book knew me on a single page. I immediately went to read my close friends’ birthdays, one by one, becoming more and more star-struck at the book’s short and sweet accuracy.

Not ever once considering this could be a path I could pursue, I began my self-study alongside the work and study of makeup and photography school. I took any free time to learn more. I was reading, taking notes, and eventually bringing the topic into almost every conversation.

After several years as a professional artist, the feeling of wondering if there was more depth to my work grew louder. I remember randomly stumbling across a tarot youtube video, not knowing what it was. And just as the Divine works, this opened up a new exploration portal. I was instantly obsessed that this medium was directly correlated with astrology.

On my 25th birthday, I took a month-long trip to Australia and found myself in study on the journey! I was gifted my very first tarot deck, and because it was pocket-sized, I took it everywhere and practiced with people all around me! The connections I built from discussing heart matters still echo in my heart today.

Again still not thinking this was something I could genuinely pursue, I returned from my trip and promised myself to get back on my photography work (which at this point felt like a dying fire) by the end of the week. That Friday, the day I intended to continue on the path I was on, I woke up to the Universe providing me a tower moment.

The shake-up felt intense and abrupt, but it was exactly what I needed to shift myself in a new direction. I decided it was time to stop following a path that felt dim in my heart and fully pivot to a place of excitement.

I won’t say it was an easy breezy leap because this pivot involved several years of dying of an old identity, learning to trust that this “out there” idea was “realistic” enough to follow. And A TON of ups and downs of life experiences to both teach me and help me heal from my past.

And although the journey of growth and soul evolution is still and always will be in motion, taking the time to navigate the darkness to find my inner light has been so helpful for my life and in helping others traverse their journey of many experiences.

. why this work

I grew up feeling out of place - as though no one could see beyond the colour of my skin. More than anything, I wanted to be seen for who I actually was, what I had to offer, and how I could love. This has deeply impacted why I believe so deeply in the power of astrology and tarot.

The circumstance in my reality contributed to why I believed I wasn’t enough and never would be. No father, a hoarder home with no running water and power, feeling suicidal, being under social services’ hold, living in a group home, being cornered into a teen abortion, abusing drugs, and collections calling more frequently than my family, losing my mother to cancer, romantic relationships with betrayal… honestly, the list goes on.

But don’t get me wrong; this hardship has been the ultimate gift. A gift to truly claim my path of healing. A gift of knowing the depths of resilience and compassion. And a gift of leading me into a meaningful life path of service to others.

The last thing I want others to experience is all the pain and suffering I went through, especially the amount of time it took to find the solutions and transformation in the process.

Astrology and tarot provided me with shortcuts to see my blind spots. To break the patterns holding me back and give me a map to take the next steps toward a brighter, more expansive life. A path of aligning with my purpose and maintaining a higher frequency of abundance, confidence and trust!

To recognize the beauty in every day. To know the magical feeling of synchronistic possibilities. Trust that your pain has prepared you for your purpose. To experience the bliss of thriving. And more than anything, I want you to know there is magic beyond the surface. I want you to understand your value. And I want you to unapologetically own your authentic self and share your gifts with the world!

 The beauty I’ve spent my life seeking - resides within the layers of depth that allow another to be genuinely held, seen and understood in their truth.
