We recently connected with Patricia Tate and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Patricia, really happy you were able to join us today and we’re looking forward to sharing your story and insights with our readers. Let’s start with the heart of it all – purpose. How did you find your purpose?
From the moment I stumbled upon astrology, my world shifted. I didn’t grow up envisioning a life where the stars and planets would guide me, but looking back, every step I took led me here. My journey to discovering my purpose has been one of deep transformation, resilience, and alignment with the universe’s plan for me.
Growing up as a product of the 60s, I was raised to have an open mind. My upbringing was steeped in curiosity and a willingness to explore the unknown, which became a foundation for my spiritual journey. In my early 20s, this openness led me to experience my first past life regression—a moment that profoundly shaped my understanding of the universe and my place within it.
I’ve always been a vivid dreamer. From a young age, my dreams felt like immersive experiences, filled with symbols and messages that lingered long after I woke up. These dreams offered insights that often helped me navigate waking life. It wasn’t until later, however, that I fully realized their significance. Everything began to make more sense when I started using these insights in my spiritual practice, bridging the gap between my conscious and subconscious mind.
This natural inclination toward introspection and spiritual exploration led me to delve deeply into tarot, astrology, and various forms of energy work. Each of these tools offered unique perspectives on life’s challenges and opportunities, helping me make sense of the unseen forces shaping our experiences.
Tarot became a way to tap into my intuition and gain clarity in moments of uncertainty. The cards, with their rich symbolism, provided a mirror to my inner thoughts and feelings. Astrology, on the other hand, offered a cosmic blueprint—a map of my soul’s journey. It helped me understand not only my strengths and challenges but also the timing of life’s ebbs and flows.
Energy work, including Reiki and other healing modalities, added another layer to my spiritual practice. It taught me the importance of balance and alignment, not just on a physical level but emotionally and spiritually as well. Through energy work, I learned to release blocks, restore harmony, and create space for growth and transformation.
Each of these practices complements the others, creating a holistic approach to spiritual guidance. They’ve allowed me to offer my clients a comprehensive toolkit for navigating life’s complexities.
After spending years working the fairs as a practitioner, I felt inspired to take things a step further. I began organizing and running a local holistic fair in my community, bringing together other practitioners and vendors. This became a vibrant space where people could explore a wide range of spiritual and healing modalities.
It was incredibly fulfilling to create a platform that not only supported local businesses but also fostered a sense of community. These fairs became a cornerstone of my work, allowing people to connect, learn, and grow together.
However, just as the fairs were thriving, the pandemic brought everything to a halt. Like so many others, I faced the challenge of rethinking how to continue my work in a world where in-person gatherings were no longer possible.
The pandemic, though disruptive, became a catalyst for transformation. It pushed me to pivot my business model and explore new ways of connecting with people. I transitioned my practice to an online platform, leveraging YouTube, my website Willow Grace Mystik, and my Patreon community, Willow Grace Astrology, to reach a global audience.
Through virtual consultations, live sessions, and digital content, I was able to continue sharing astrology, tarot, and energy work with people around the world. The shift was not without its challenges, but it allowed me to expand my reach and build a community that transcends borders. My Patreon subscribers, whom I affectionately call my Mystik Friends, are an integral part of this journey. Together, we explore the cosmic currents, supporting one another through life’s highs and lows.
One of the most rewarding aspects of this journey has been the connections I’ve formed. Through live sessions, personalized readings, and interactive content, I’ve cultivated a space where people feel seen, heard, and supported. The Mystik Friends community is more than just a group—it’s a collective of like-minded individuals who are committed to growth and spiritual alignment.
Finding my purpose wasn’t a singular “aha” moment but a series of unfolding experiences. My vivid dreams, past life regression, deep dives into spiritual practices, and work as a community organizer all played a role in shaping my path. They’ve taught me to trust my intuition and embrace the unknown, knowing that every step brings me closer to alignment with my soul’s purpose.
Today, I wake up every day with a deep sense of fulfillment, knowing I’m living in harmony with my life’s mission and connecting with my community.
Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?
I am an evolutionary, traditional, and Western astrologer. I use these techniques to provide a comprehensive approach to spiritual guidance. Evolutionary astrology explores the soul’s karmic journey, highlighting areas of growth and transformation across lifetimes. Traditional astrology grounds my work with time-tested techniques, such as planetary rulerships and dignities, offering precise insights into life’s cycles. Western astrology bridges these elements, providing practical, relatable guidance for navigating the modern world. Together, these three approaches allow me to help clients uncover their life’s purpose, work through challenges, and seize opportunities with confidence and clarity.
What excites me most about my work is its transformative power. Astrology serves as a cosmic map, offering clarity and direction during life’s transitions. I incorporate tarot for intuitive guidance and energy work like Reiki to address emotional and spiritual alignment. This holistic approach ensures that my clients gain a deeper understanding of themselves and the tools to create meaningful change in their lives.
In recent years, I’ve expanded my practice to connect with a global audience. My YouTube channel is a hub for astrology forecasts and tutorials, and my Patreon community, offers exclusive content, live sessions, and deeper insights into the cosmic currents. This growing community is a space where like-minded individuals come together to explore astrology and spirituality in a supportive environment.
I have several offerings for each price range including consultations.
Gift Cards for Astrology Consultations: Perfect for anyone looking to explore their birth chart or gain insights into the year ahead.
Elemental Wisdom Oracle Deck: A tool I’ve created to help individuals connect with their intuition and the natural elements.
Solar Return Reports: Personalized PDF reports highlighting themes and opportunities for the coming year.
Looking ahead to 2025, I’m planning a series of live workshops and webinars to help my community navigate significant astrological transits, including impactful eclipse cycles and retrograde periods. These sessions will provide practical tools for working with the energy of the year ahead.
At the heart of Willow Grace Astrology is a commitment to helping people align with their higher selves. Through personalized consultations, educational content, and a supportive community, I strive to empower others to embrace their unique paths with clarity and purpose.
Whether you’re new to astrology or a seasoned enthusiast, there’s a place for you in our growing community. Join me as we navigate the stars and uncover the wisdom they hold. Together, we’ll continue this beautiful journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth.
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
Reflecting on my journey, three key qualities have been most impactful in shaping my journey: curiosity, resilience, and a commitment to lifelong learning. These traits not only guided me toward my purpose but also helped me navigate the challenges along the way.
1. Curiosity: The Spark of Exploration
Curiosity has always been at the heart of my spiritual and professional journey. Whether it was exploring my past, diving deep into the nuances of astrology, or discovering the power of energy work, my curiosity drove me to seek out new knowledge and experiences. It’s what led me to blend evolutionary, traditional, and Western astrology into a unique practice that resonates deeply with my clients.
Advice: For those just starting out, I encourage you to stay curious and open-minded. Explore different tools, modalities, and philosophies. The more you learn, the more you’ll discover what truly resonates with you. Allow your curiosity to guide you, even if it takes you in unexpected directions.
2. Resilience: Embracing Challenges as Growth Opportunities
Every journey comes with its share of challenges, and resilience has been a cornerstone of my growth. From transitioning my practice during the pandemic to balancing personal growth with professional responsibilities, I’ve learned that setbacks are often the universe’s way of redirecting us toward a more aligned path.
Advice: When challenges arise, view them as opportunities for growth. Resilience is like a muscle—the more you exercise it, the stronger it becomes. Trust that even the most difficult moments hold valuable lessons, and don’t be afraid to pivot when life calls for change.
3. Lifelong Learning: The Power of Continuous Growth
Astrology, tarot, and energy work are ever-evolving fields. My commitment to lifelong learning has kept my practice fresh and impactful. Whether it’s refining my skills through advanced courses, learning from mentors, or gaining insights from my clients’ experiences, I’m always seeking to expand my knowledge.
Advice: Invest in your education and stay open to new perspectives. Seek out mentors, join communities, network with like-minded individuals and never stop learning. Growth doesn’t have an endpoint—it’s a continuous journey that deepens your expertise and enriches your offerings.
If you’re at the beginning of your journey, embrace these qualities as guiding principles. Be curious enough to explore, resilient enough to persevere, and committed enough to keep learning. Trust your intuition, and remember that every step—no matter how small—brings you closer to your purpose.
One of our goals is to help like-minded folks with similar goals connect and so before we go we want to ask if you are looking to partner or collab with others – and if so, what would make the ideal collaborator or partner?
I am always open to collaboration, especially with individuals and businesses that value spiritual growth, personal development, and holistic wellness. Astrology offers unique insights that can complement a wide variety of fields, making it a powerful tool for enhancing both personal and professional journeys.
Whether you’re in wellness, creative arts, life coaching, event planning, or even corporate environments, astrology can provide valuable guidance to help people align with their goals and maximize their potential. I’m particularly interested in partnering with innovative thinkers and organizations who want to support the community and use collaboration as a way to enhance enrich the lives of others.
I’m eager to explore partnerships in areas not traditionally associated with astrology, finding ways we can support each other through community collaborations rooted in reciprocity. Some potential niches include:
Wellness and Healing Practitioners: Incorporating astrological insights into yoga, Reiki, or energy work sessions.
Creative Entrepreneurs: Collaborating on tools like journals, guided meditations, or lifestyle products.
Business and Leadership Coaches: Using astrology to help clients align with their natural strengths and navigate growth opportunities.
Event Planners: Offering astrological guidance for personal milestones, corporate retreats, or wellness events.
Boutique and Lifestyle Brands: Developing curated astrology-inspired product lines, such as candles, beauty products, or home decor.
If you are reading this and our visions align, I’d love to explore the possibilities of working together. Whether you’re looking to integrate astrology into your business or co-create something unique, let’s join forces to inspire alignment, offer meaningful insights, and foster growth for our audiences.
