Tracey Kelly ยท Medford, Oregon ยท founder, letter writer
I didn't plan to start a letter subscription.
The letters just kept coming.
I've been writing for as long as I can remember โ journals, notes, letters I tucked into envelopes and mailed to people who needed them. There was always something about ink on paper that felt different. More honest, somehow. More present.
I've also been studying astrology and tarot for years โ not as party tricks or personality tests, but as serious tools for reflection. The kind of tools that help you understand why this particular season of your life feels like this. Why some chapters close like a door shutting, and others open so slowly you almost miss them.
Twinkling Transits started as a way to share both of those things at once. The letter-writing practice and the cosmic observation. The ink and the intention. The real and the mystical.
Each month I sit down and write โ about what the planets are doing, about what I've been noticing in my own life and the lives of people around me, about the themes that keep showing up in readings. I seal it in an envelope. I put a stamp on it. And I send it to you.
Not a PDF. Not a digital download. A letter. Something that lands in your mailbox and says: someone took the time to write this, by hand, for you.
What "twinkling transits" actually means.
In astrology, a transit is a planet moving through a position in the sky โ crossing through your chart, touching the places where your story lives. Most of them are small. Quick. Easy to miss.
"The small transits are the ones I love most. Not the dramatic eclipses or the Saturn returns everyone dreads. The little ones โ the ones that pass through like lights in the dark โ those are the ones that change something quietly, when you're not looking." โ Tracey Kelly, Twinkling Transits
That's what this is. Paying attention to the small lights. The gentle shifts. The moments of meaning that would be easy to dismiss as coincidence โ if you weren't paying attention.
What you'll find in every letter.
No two letters are identical. But each one is grounded in the same four things.
Celestial Observations
What the planets are doing this month, in plain language. Which transits matter, and why โ translated from the sky into something useful for your actual life.
Tarot Reflection
One card pulled for the collective โ interpreted with depth and nuance, not keyword shortcuts. The card that kept appearing in readings and wouldn't be ignored.
Journaling Prompts
Questions to sit with. Not "what are your goals?" but the deeper kind โ the ones that feel uncomfortable enough to actually mean something.
Tracey's Voice
It's a real letter. Written by a person who has been through things and come out the other side still paying attention. That comes through in every word.
What I believe about this work.
A few things I hold onto, month after month.
- Astrology is a language, not a fortune. I use it to describe what's happening, not to predict what will. The difference matters.
- A letter is a relationship. You're not receiving a newsletter. You're receiving something written for the people who read my letters โ a community I take seriously.
- Small things accumulate. One month of paying attention changes nothing. A year of it changes everything. I'm in this for the long game.
- You already know what you need to know. My job isn't to tell you what to do. It's to ask the question that helps you remember what you already know.
- Ink is a commitment. I can't unsend a letter. That matters to me. It means I mean what I write.
"This isn't a subscription to content. It's a subscription to attention. I pay attention to the sky, to the cards, to what keeps showing up โ and then I write it down and mail it to you."
