It has been an honor to know, learn from, and feel supported by Heidi since early in my career.  To the ancients, the 9th House was called God.

Welcome to the 7th of 12 episodes where I unshame the houses of the chart with a different guest astrologer for each episode. My guest is Colin Bedell aka QueerCosmos! I am so honored and excited that Colin said Yes to this because he’s my favorite astrologer talking about relationships.  To the ancients, the 7th House was called The House of Setting, because it represents the western horizon at the moment of birth.   Here we’re discussing how shame can show up in the department of life we call the 7th House, which includes:  - one-on-one legal contracts like marriage, business partners, therapist-patient - one-on-one energetic contracts (who’s agreeing to what in this relationship)  - enemies  - significant others  - psychological projections  - buyers in a purchase or the other party in a negotiation  - how we understand ourselves in counterpoint to another person’s perspective  Colin Bedell is a bestselling author, speaker, and media expert on astrology and relationships. As the cofounder of QueerCosmos (a comparative Astrological resource for LGBTQIA+ folks), Colin is committed to updating ideas on identity, relationships, and spirituality that are inclusive to a wider range of racial, sexual, and gender diversity. Which is why Well & Good Magazine listed Colin as one of the most influential people in the wellness industry and as a 2020 Innovator. Complementing his work with QueerCosmos, Colin writes weekly horoscopes for Cosmopolitan.com. Colin’s been featured on Good Morning America, New York Magazine, MTV, and TLC’s show Stargazing, and Colin is a season regular Astrologer on  “Written In The Stars,” which premiered November 2022 on Discovery Plus.  Additionally, Colin is working towards certification by The Relational Life Therapy Institute to become a Couple’s Coach where he can integrate astrological approaches with leading theories, models, methods, and skills for healthy relationships. Follow Colin on Instagram.  To go deeper with the sign at your 7th House, I recommend investing in the ⁠Living the Signs workbook⁠ for that sign. +++ Learn about Cave Space - we begin 10/22!

Your frustrations have intelligence. Your irritations are trying to tell you about what you want and what you don’t fucking want anymore.  We shame ourselves for being irritated like we’re supposed to be "above” or “beyond” the truth of the body’s information.  Where there is frustration, there’s a desire underneath that’s being shamed.  Doors to Cave Space are now OPEN!  We begin October 22 through Scorpio season.  This is one of my mainstay experiential learning spaces and provides key vocabulary for other containers.  I’d love to see you there if it’s resonating!  +++ E M E R G E N C E  A S T R O L O G Y ⁠⁠⁠www.brittenlarue.com⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@brittenlarue⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Order Living Astrology +++ Podcast art: Angela George.

Welcome to the sixth of 12 episodes where I unshame the houses of the chart with a different guest astrologer for each episode. My guest is Erin Kelley. A long-time member of my Magicians Table community, Erin is one of the most wise and knowledgable astrologers I’ve ever encountered! You can hear Erin and I discuss the 8th House in one of Moon to Moon’s most downloaded episodes here. To the ancients, the 6th House was called The House of Bad Fortune. Oh dear! We’re already in shame language. Erin and I face the “bad house” reputation head on in our rich conversation.  The 6th House includes topics such as:  - Disease and illness    - Holistic health, wellness, nourishment    - Troubles, bad luck, shit to deal with  - Service and servitude  - Labor and worker’s rights  - Pets   - Taking care of your body  - Accidents and injuries   - Enemies & insurrections Erin Kelley (she/her) is a writer, devotional astrologer, and esoteric strategist with a feral heart. Her intuitive gift of right timing is the essence behind her work, affectionately called Slow Magick. Erin believes desire is holy, change happens when it is time, and Eros is the driving impulse connecting this moment to the next. With an 8th house stellium, Erin is known for helping others find and effectively utilize their resources. She especially loves using astrology and rituals to assist cycle breakers in building new beliefs, experiencing more satisfaction, and creating space to thrive. Before leaping into her second act, Erin spent more than a decade creating award-winning go-to-market strategies for some of the world’s biggest names. She now uses her intuitive and results-oriented analytical skills to develop practical and effective recommendations for working with the subtle realm in everyday life.  You can find Erin at slowmagick.com, @slow.magick on Instagram, and The Nature of Invisible Things on Substack. +++ My next course is Cave Space!
