243. Self-Abandonment & the Tenth House

In this episode, Britten shares her funky take on mysticism and the kind of mystic she is here to invite listeners into becoming. Britten expands the usual definition of a mystic, opening up mysticism to include the body, desire, voice, money, pleasure, ritual, and the deeply human practice of giving yourself permission. Topics She Covers: Britten's hermitage after divorce, when astrology, tarot, ritual, intuition, and her erotic awakening all opened at the same time. Mysticism as something embodied and earthly, rather than a high-vibe movement away from being human. The connection between her mystical life, erotic life, and entrepreneurial path. The importance of validating your own magic instead of looking to a teacher to confirm it for you. Why transformation needs a container, and why a podcast can offer information but cannot hold the same kind of magic as a committed space. Hybridity, shapeshifting, surrender, and becoming more of the strange, contradictory, multidimensional creature you already are. This episode is an exploration of what happens when we agree to our own transformation and stop waiting for outside permission to become as magical, strange, powerful, and alive as we actually are. The Emergence Astrology Pathway begins with a Hermitage, where you discover how hybrid you are. Where you invite yourself to get pregnant with an Emergent You. Where you let in the mysteries of the "That Side" of astrology.   Join Britten Inside of the Emergence Astrology Pathway DOORS CLOSE TUESDAY NIGHT, JUNE 30!

In this episode, Britten closes her series on self-abandonment through the houses of the birth chart, turning toward the Twelfth House. She explores the Twelfth House as a place where self-abandonment can happen when we refuse to take space for ourselves, shame the need to step away from ordinary time, or become enmeshed with someone else's way of coping with being here. The Emergence Astrology Pathway begins with a 9-month Hermitage so you can take some fucking space for yourself. The experience is one that will connect you to the longings and the wisdom of your 12th House Self.  Topics She Covers: The Twelfth House as the finale of this series, and as the house of Britten's Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Persephone in Pisces. Britten's relationship to promotion, voice, and the assignment she feels to get her teachings to those they are meant for. The question, "What are you looking for in astrology?" and why Emergence Astrology is more interested in expansive questions rather than fixed answers. The houses as spaces of self-healing, where we can recognize and begin clearing patterns of self-abandonment. The Twelfth House as self-undoing, solitude, retreats, hospitals, prisons, sleep, dreams, altered states, and the places that take us out of the day-to-day of life. Taking space for yourself as one of the most powerful ways to not self-abandon in the Twelfth House. The shame Twelfth House people can carry when their nature draws them away from behaviors that overculture applauds. Ritual devotion as a way to understand your Fourth, Eighth, and Twelfth Houses, and as a practice for receiving your own gnosis. Whether you have placements there or not, you have a 12th House, and you have not been encouraged by Overculture to go spend time there. You were told it's a waste of time, that it's unproductive, that it will un-do you. These lies stop now.     Through the lens of the Twelfth House, this episode explores what becomes possible when we make time outside of the schedule and let ritual become a doorway for receiving the information that wants to come through.   Join Britten Inside of the Emergence Astrology Pathway This is not a traditional astrology course.

In this episode, Britten continues her series on self-abandonment through the houses of the birth chart, turning toward the Eleventh House. She explores the Eleventh House as a place where self-abandonment can happen when we stop trusting that our voice, hopes, dreams, weirdness, or heart-led vision for the world can be received, constellated around, and shared with others. Topics She Covers: Cancer season, the Moon, and why The Emergence Astrology Pathway begins with Cancer on purpose. The way Cancer invites us to leave home in order to come more fully home to ourselves. The Moon as the first voice that claimed Britten and invited her to come home, listen to herself, and name the no that would change her life. Astrology as a home inside the self, a living and responsive system that's a part of the interconnectedness of all things, and a way of building a place where it becomes safe to emerge. The Eleventh House as the house of good spirit, community, networks, patrons, groups, and those we constellate around us through shared hopes and dreams for the world. Self-abandonment in the Eleventh House as giving up on humans, magic, imagination, or the possibility of finding the people who want to build the world with us. Through the lens of the Eleventh House, this episode explores the restoration of wonder, pleasure, delight, and trust in people, and the possibility of singing the song of your Eleventh House spirit even before you know who will hear it.   Join Britten Inside of the Emergence Astrology Pathway This is not a traditional astrology course.

In this episode, Britten continues her series on self-abandonment through the houses of the birth chart, turning toward the Tenth House. She explores the Tenth House as a place where self-abandonment can happen when we become entangled with caregiver strivings, overculture's templates for success, or the pressure to be known, recognized, and received in a certain way. Topics She Covers: The Emergence Astrology Pathway as a long container, a hermitage, and a structure for surrendering to time, personal gnosis, and what emerges through commitment. The Moon as the place that holds our stories of safety, belonging, emotional security, and the need to be held. The Tenth House as public reputation, public role, what we are known for, and what we bring out into the world. Self-abandonment in the Tenth House as getting hooked into caregiver strivings, overculture's ideas of success, achievement, performance, and who we think we have to be. The paradox of clearing old templates around success while still honoring an authentic public call, offering, or life force that wants to move through us. Through the lens of the Tenth House, this episode explores how we begin to separate from inherited strivings, return to our own agency, and tend to the roots that make authentic public contribution possible.   Join Britten Inside of the Emergence Astrology Pathway This is not a traditional astrology course.

In this episode, Britten continues her series on self-abandonment through the houses of the birth chart, turning toward the Ninth House. She explores the Ninth House as a place where self-abandonment can happen when we cede our authority to dogmas, teachers, books, spiritual leaders, or inherited beliefs that keep us from trusting our direct relationship with the divine. Topics She Covers: Self-abandonment as something we often cannot see clearly until we are taught to notice the signals and call it what it is. Britten's early relationship with self-sabotage, the saboteur archetype, and the realization that we may sabotage ourselves because we are terrified of our own empowerment. The Emergent No as the beginning of her mystical, healing, entrepreneurial, and erotic path. The Chariot, congruence, and the way unconscious parts of us can pull against what we consciously want. The Ninth House as personal cosmology, belief, worldview, imagination, divinity, teachers, spiritual authority, and the way we project what is possible onto the universe. Self-abandonment in the Ninth House as over-trusting external authorities instead of cultivating sovereignty, personal gnosis, and a direct collaboration with the cosmos. Through the lens of the Ninth House, this episode explores sovereignty, imagination, and the possibility of being held by the universe in a way that helps us move through the world without abandoning ourselves to stay safe with others.     Join Britten Inside of the Emergence Astrology Pathway This is not a traditional astrology course.

She explores the Eighth House as a place where self-abandonment can become especially nuanced, because this house asks us to give ourselves into contact with another without losing our own attunement, discernment, or trust in what we know. Topics She Covers: Podcasting as a kind of Eighth House reach into the unknown, where Britten extends her voice into the dark and trusts that someone is there to receive it. Emergence Astrology as a relationship with both "this side" astrology and "that side" astrology: technique, lineage, and the mysteries that come through personal and collective gnosis. Year One of The Emergence Astrology Pathway as an exploration with the Moon, self-attunement, personal gnosis, energy training, intuition, and learning to trust your own voice. The Eighth House as other people's resources, debt, inheritance, therapy, caretaking, surgery, intimacy, and the vulnerability of being supported where we most need help. The question of how to become approachable to what is hidden: in ourselves, in reality, in the universe, and among the gods. Britten's relationship with Matt as an example of surrendering into trust, creating repair over time, and building a new body of evidence that intimacy could hold. Through the lens of the Eighth House, this episode explores surrendering into trust, staying in touch with resonance in the body, and noticing where refusing the high sensation of intimacy may be another way we leave ourselves behind.     Join Britten Inside of the Emergence Astrology Pathway This is not a traditional astrology course.

In this episode, Britten continues her series on self-abandonment through the houses of the birth chart, turning toward the Seventh House. She explores the Seventh House as a place where self-abandonment can happen so easily because our desire for connection, safety, and intimacy can become tangled with fear, projection, old agreements, and the need to be loved or validated. Topics She Covers: The Emergence Astrology Pathway Year One as a slow, deep curriculum for identifying when you are not in yourself and learning to anchor back into your own knowing. Gnosis as your own knowing: the thing no one can take away from you. The Seventh House as one-on-one relationships, including romantic relationships, friendships, partnerships, and the ways we find out who we are through others. Projection, intimacy, trust, boundaries, and the difference between intuition and projection in relationship. Energetic contracts and agreements, including the old relational patterns we may have agreed to when we were younger and the fear that arises when we want to update them. The deep vulnerability of intimacy and the ways we can protect ourselves from being hurt by closing our hearts, projecting fear, or refusing to listen in conflict How difficult it can be to stop self-abandoning in relationship because we cannot control how another person will respond when we grow, change, or update the terms of connection.  Through the lens of the Seventh House, she invites listeners to consider the relational agreements they may still be living inside, the fear that keeps those agreements in place, and the possibility of repair through real-time relationship, deeper self-responsibility, and learning to hold our own emergence without abandoning ourselves.   Join Britten Inside of the Emergence Astrology Pathway This is not a traditional astrology course.

In this episode, Britten continues her series on self-abandonment through the houses of the birth chart, turning toward the Sixth House. She explores the Sixth House as a place where shame often gathers around capacity, productivity, health, organization, and what it means to tend to devotion without policing. Topics She Covers: The momentum of moving through the houses as a framework for attention, immersion, and revelation. Gnosis as the wisdom, truth, insight, and knowing that no one can take away from you. The Emergence Astrology Pathway as a space for cultivating personal and collective gnosis. Self-abandonment as something we have to learn to identify, name, and refuse so we can come back into innocence and bring ourselves home. The Sixth House as a realm of bodies, care, energetic health, daily systems, administrative life, and the commitment to living in a body on planet Earth. How shame can distort our relationship to health, capacity, productivity, care, systems, and the way we tend to what needs our attention. Britten reflects on how difficult it can be to know how to care for ourselves inside systems and cultures that do not prioritize care. She names the shame many of us carry around our bodies, our capacity, our administrative lives, and the day-to-day systems that support our health and ability to function. Through the lens of the Sixth House, she invites listeners to imagine tending to these parts of life without shame as the authority: not from punishment, anti-aging, productivity, or inherited conditioning, but because we are people who turn toward life. This episode is an invitation to decondition the shame of the Sixth House and return to a more loving, clear, and present-time commitment to being here with ourselves, in this body, every day.   Join Britten Inside of the Emergence Astrology Pathway This is not a traditional astrology course.

In this episode, Britten continues her series on self-abandonment through the houses of the birth chart, turning toward the Fifth House. She explores the Fifth House as a place where energy flows into what we love, what we create, what we pour ourselves into, and what carries something of us out into the world. Topics She Covers: The Moon as the beginning of Britten's relationship with mystery, intuition, energy, and lunar cycles. The new Emergence Astrology Pathway Year One curriculum as a return to her lunar teachings, with three strands: lunar transmissions, intuition skills building, and ritual wisdom. The Fifth House as children, hobbies, romance, students, creativity, pleasure, and the generous movement of energy through and beyond us. How self-abandonment shows up when we believe our generative capacity is worthless, unproductive, selfish, or not valuable to ourselves or others. The spiritual consequences of shutting down our creative channel, denying ourselves play, or pouring all of our energy into a job, partner, friend, or relationship that demands everything from us. Britten reflects on the way the Moon first claimed her in 2017 and led her into a life organized around listening, mystery, and creative devotion. From there, she traces how her lunar teachings have evolved over time and why the reimagined Emergence Astrology Pathway is built to move slowly, gently, and deeply. Through the lens of the Fifth House, she invites listeners to notice where they may be withholding their energy, denying their right to pleasure, or believing they have nothing to give. This episode is a call to repair the shame around creativity and to remember that our energy is meant to run, move, pour into something, and be shared.   Join Britten Inside of the Emergence Astrology Pathway This is not a traditional astrology course.

In this episode, Britten continues her series on self-abandonment through the houses of the birth chart, turning toward the Fourth House: a realm of home, lineage, childhood context, caregivers, private life, and the places we come from. She explores the Fourth House as the context of you, encompassing the emotional, energetic, and ancestral field that shaped how you learned to take up space, come home to yourself, and understand what safety feels like. Topics She Covers: The houses as zones of terrestrial human life, where our most pleasurable and painful experiences unfold. Why Emergence Astrology begins with intuition, energy, personal gnosis, and learning to hear yourself before learning astrology. Shame as a context we often don't realize we're seeing through, and unshaming as the practice of removing those lenses. The Fourth House as the childhood home, caregivers, lineage, land, family, and the energetic quality of the place you came from. How individuation asks us to identify and surpass the core strivings of our caregivers so we can reclaim our own foundation. The Fourth House as the place where we learn to build a home within ourselves, cultivate safety, and create a private life that can truly hold us. Britten reflects on how difficult it can be to see the Fourth House clearly because it is often the very context we grew up inside. Until we begin to individuate, or until a major transit wakes this part of the chart up, the Fourth House can feel mysterious or hard to describe. Through the lens of Emergence Astrology as a path of repair, presence, and congruence, she invites listeners to consider how self-abandonment forms inside early contexts and how we can begin to untangle from inherited patterns, come back into our own house, and let the Fourth House become a frame that holds us.   Join Britten Inside of the Emergence Astrology Pathway This is not a traditional astrology course.
