ASTROLOGY - TAROT - CRYSTALS - SYMBOLISM
(I regularly update this section and offer my thoughts on the recommendations made)
Astrology Websites - General
These are a few of my favourite sites for general information:
Astrodeinst - my favourite place to obtain a free birth chart. Select 'free horoscopes' from the top menu, then 'extended chart selection' from the right column (under 'drawings & calculations') There is a wealth of other information also available on this site.
Cafe Astrology - a great site generally, which also includes 'if today is your birthday' which gives you a comprehensive overview of your year ahead.
Astrology Toronto - an Astrology Group which I am part of. They offer a range of excellent events, most of which are hybrid.
Astrologers Websites
Nightlight Astrology - Adam Elenbaas is an excellent resource and has been my primary teacher of Hellenistic Astrology. I've completed both his Year 1 and Year 2 Courses: Ancient Astrology for the Modern Mystic and Advanced Hellenistic Astrology I'm continually impressed with the quality and the depth of his offerings, and highly recommend him! His Youtube channel is a must (IMHO) as he's always sharing relevant content!
Chris Brennan - His youtube channel and podcast are excellent.
Kelly's Astrology - Kelly is an excellent teacher, and has some great classes!
Julie Simmons - I've completed a wonderful class with Julie - a 12 month memoir writing journey through the houses of the zodiac.
Sarah Varcas - I've taken Sarah's self study astrology course. It is an excellent value for all of the material that she shares!
Benebell Wen - Benebell has some very helpful free resources on her site, as well as an Astrology Course for Beginners, which I have taken and would highly recommend.
Elsa Elsa - I've subscribed to this blog for several years, and love the way she keeps things real, with the addition of humour.
Apps (Stand Alone & Online)
Time Passages - a great app that includes alot of options. There is a free version available. I use this app more than anyother to check the astrological weather for myself (both current and upcoming transits)
Night Sky - a must have for viewing the sky, it's like a planetarium in an app. There are many excellent ones available - this is the one I'm the most familiar with.
Co-Star - a great app - your day at a glance, is often surprisingly on point.
Transit Viewer (Transitviewer.net) - an astrological transit visualizer. An excellent resource where you can see your monthly transits in a calendar format (both natal & mundane). Lots to unpack on this site including a visual of the planets in the sky, relative to the Earth, on the day you were born!
Books
I have an ever expanding library of astrology books, but will share a few of my favourites so far:
The Stars Within You - Juliana McCarthy (a great introductory book on Astrology)

TAROT RESOURCES
Tarot Websites
T. Susan Chang - Offers an excellent class (now available as a book of the same name) called 'The Living Tarot' - I took this class and found it very insightful. She has also done a lecture series which I would highly recommend for Atlas Obscura, entitled 'Secrets of Tarot'
22 Teachings - Naha Armady offers Tarot School (there are pre-requisites for taking it). She's an excellent teacher, and I highly recommend anything she teaches!
Books

CRYSTAL & STONE RESOURCES
Relationship between Astrology & Stones
Dr. Jenn Zahrt has offered a workshop called 'Astrology Rocks' (linking stones with planets, signs and other astrological factor. I'd highly recommend anything she offers!

Books
Stars and Stones: An Astro-Magical Lapidary - Peter Stockinger
Stone Medicine - Leslie J. Franks (based on the teachings of Dr. Jeffrey C. Yuen, an 88th generation Daoist priest, from the Jade Purity School) Definitely a more advanced book, but it's fascinating.
Frozen Light The Eternal Beauty of Crystals - Lawrence Stoller
The Book of Stones - Robert Simmons & Naisha Ahsian (Naisha has been one of my Crystal teachers)
Everyday Crystal Rituals - Naha Armady (Excellent general book! I've taken Naha's Crystal School Intensive, and highly recommend it!)
