Jenna Ewing – AKA Scorpio Moon Coach Three years ago, I had my birth chart read, and it was a powerful reminder of who I truly am and who I'm meant to be. In 2022, I made bold moves—I left my 9-to-5 job, separated from my husband, and began building my dream business. By reconnecting with my soul's essence, trusting my intuition, and embracing my inner magic, I took giant leaps into the unknown. And now, I've created a life I love! I'm the most authentic version of myself I've ever been, and I feel incredibly free! Astrology coaching helps you reconnect with the soulful, authentic version of yourself that's ready to step out of hiding. I've guided so many clients to: Truly see their unique brilliance, Rediscover their magic, Gain clarity about their extraordinary potential, and Confidently step into the impactful life they're meant to lead. I've learned that taking leaps into the unknown and stepping out of your comfort zone is essential—but it starts with prioritizing yourself. You need to figure out who you are at your core and what you truly desire. I began by putting myself first—pausing, listening to my feelings, and creating space for clarity. As I invested time, energy, love, and resources into myself, my life transformed exponentially. The best decision I ever made was investing in me, starting with having my birth chart read back in 2021. It was the catalyst for everything that followed! ---- SOCIALS: Instagram: @scorpiomooncoach Website:www.scorpiomooncoach.co.uk
