Astral Time Travelers

Dear Gentle Reader, yes, you caught me. There are two tea stories today. Yesterday had its way with me, picking me up and saying time is going out the window today and you will do as we please. So I was unable to send the Christmas tea article off until this morning. I hope you enjoyed it all the same. And now, I'm going to have my fun with 'Time" and write a story for it today...

Today’s tea unfolded less like a beverage… and more like a story.

Because as I sipped my cup of Chai tea with cinnamon, something became abundantly clear to me: these are not ordinary spices.

Chai and Cinnamon are astral time travelers.

Stay with me. haha

Chai is the seasoned one — ancient, layered, worldly. He has walked through empires, caravans, temples, and kitchens across centuries. He knows stories. He has opinions. He carries cardamom wisdom in his pockets and understands the long arc of human ritual.

Cinnamon, on the other hand, is fiery, bold, mischievous, and always slightly ahead of the curve. She moves fast, warms everything she touches, and has absolutely no fear of jumping timelines.

Together, they are inseparable.

And today, these two travelers decided to take a detour.

The Astral Jump

Somewhere between the first sip and the second, I realized that Chai and Cinnamon had opened a portal.

Not to a temple.
Not to a spice market.
Not even to a medieval trading route.

No.

They traveled to Starbucks.

Yes. That Starbucks.

Because even astral beings are curious about how they’ve been interpreted in the modern age.

Chai arrived first, looking around thoughtfully, stroking his supernaturally long wooly beard.

“So this is where they’ve brought us,” he said.
“Foam,” Cinnamon replied. “There's so much foam...”

Cinnamon was delighted. She loves reinvention. Loves attention. Loves seeing how far her influence has spread. Chai, meanwhile, was both amused and deeply contemplative.

“I was once brewed slowly,” he mused.
“With intention,” Cinnamon added.
“With patience,” Chai sighed.
“And now with whipped cream,” Cinnamon grinned.

What They Do for the Body (When They’re Not Time Traveling)

Chai grounds, focuses, and stabilizes.
Physically, it supports digestion, circulation, and mental clarity.
Energetically, it strengthens the root and solar plexus — helping us feel anchored, capable, and awake.

Cinnamon brings fire.
She warms circulation, boosts metabolism, and awakens the senses.
Energetically, she clears stagnation, protects the energy field, and reignites personal power.

Together, they create:

• warmth without heaviness

• grounding with sparkle

• comfort with momentum

They are ancient medicinal beings ushering those in the 21st century into their magnetic field.

What was my experience like today?

This tea didn’t ask me to slow down or soften. It asked me to engage.

My energy lifted and my momentum rose. As my body warmed from the inside out, my mental focus grew sharp. Today, on one of the coldest days of this winter thus far, it felt like wearing a cool scarf with ancient symbols on it around me. I felt protected and ready to take on the day.

I'm still chasing time today and time has me by the tail. January is always a very busy time for me as I offer Astrological and Intuitive sessions with me, that explain the whole 2026 year at a glance for you. A lot of you have taken me up on this offer this year and I'm hard at work preparing your astrology charts, so it's a very busy time, and I love it.

As I maneuver through time, with my daily work and preparing charts and doing private sessions, I am ever so pleased that I still carve out a daily moment in time to sip and savor tea.

Today, Chai steadied me, Cinnamon energized me and together they reminded me that tradition doesn’t disappear — it evolves.

Sometimes it travels through centuries.
Sometimes it travels through cafés.
Sometimes it shows up in a paper cup with a cute little message.

And it’s still magic.

As I finished the last sip, Chai and Cinnamon leaned in together and said:

“Always honor where you come from, but even more importantly, enjoy where you are. And don’t take the timeline too seriously.”

And honestly? This feels like very good advice.

Here’s to ancient spices, modern portals, astral adventures, and the reminder that even timeless magic enjoys a little foam and fun now and then.

With warmth, humor and deep intention, your tea-totaling sommelier,
