Micaela Elise was born in Okinawa, Japan and raised in upstate New York. An astrocartographer would point out both locations fall on a Saturn line. Her writing provides unique insights into the various lessons and vast intricacies that come with being a Capricorn leading a very Saturnian life— that is to say, the traumas of striving for security while working through shame and broken systems to navigate a path to success. Her work is meant to evoke how beauty is woven into pain and what it means to be alive. A tumultuous life lived well holds the most beautiful stories; and it is the author’s wish that through these works the reader finds inspiration, relief, solace, reprieve and even companionship. We all share a consciousness so we are never truly alone. Let this serve as a reminder that your own story is worth telling.
Sometimes a poet, always a mother, Micaela Elise is also a BIPOC farmer, herbalist, trained environmentalist, and tarot reader.
