Moon to Moon

In this episode, I share how and why I decided to quit the traditional templates for professional astrologers: one-on-one readings, forecasts, and university-style teaching.  The ultimate message is to relentlessly validate and unshame what you feel to be true and want to talk about in your professional field.  Let me know your thoughts. Would love to hear what came up for you with this one.  +++ To learn about Unshaming Your Chart, I invite you to check out the course page.

If there's anything that I've learned about the birth chart over my years as an astrologer and a teacher of astrology, it's that the birth chart is a confrontation. That is, the birth chart is very confrontational. This isn't something that I see lots of people talking about, but I think it's crucial to name for anyone who's curious about getting closer to their charts and going deeper with astrology.  In this episode, I share the core fears that I see come up for beginners, students, and even professional astrologers as they relate to their chart. It's my desire that in naming what we fear we can alchemize what is vulnerable about the chart into something that feels more exciting, more loving, and more expansive.

Welcome to the 12th of 12 episodes where I unshame the houses of the chart with a different guest astrologer for each episode.  WE DID IT! THE FINAL HOUSE!  My guest is the wonderful Danny Larkin. At this beginning of this project, I let Danny pick the house he wanted to unshame and he chose to go last. Lucky me! As a 12th House Sun-Mercury-Venus, I feel a deep affinity with this house. I felt I was learning and healing as we spoke.  To the ancients, the 12th House was called Bad Spirit.  Here we’re discussing how shame can show up in the department of life we call the 12th House, which includes:  - childbirth and labor  - pain and suffering  - behind the scenes of the rest of life  - isolation  - enemies - karma, past lives   - psychic connections - spiritual transcendence  - seeking grace, peace   - collective unconscious, altered states, downloads  - self-undoing, inner demons, shadow   I’m so grateful to Danny for going there with me.  Enjoy!  Danny Larkin is the Vice President of the International Association of Astral Magic (IAAM). He previously served as Vice President and then President of the Association for Young Astrologers (AYA) (2017-2020). He is a lifetime member of the International Society for Astrological Research (ISAR) as well as the National Council for Geocosmic Research (NCGR).  Danny is a pillar of the astrology community in New York City. He has studied modern astrology with Annabel Gat and John Marchesella. He serves as a fellow of the New York NCGR chapter and teaches classes as part of its faculty. He organizes the largest monthly gathering of Astrologers in New York - the Big Apple Astrology Meetup at the New York Theosophical Society, which he inherited from the late Kirk Kahn. Danny is certified at the first level by NCGR-PAA. He is fully certified by ISAR, passing the ISAR competency exam after a series of workshops organized by Anne Ortelee. Danny is currently working to complete a certificate in Hellenistic Astrology from Demetra George, as well as the certificate in Modern Astrology from the Faculty of Astrological Studies. +++ EARLY BIRD TUITION FOR MY BRAND NEW 8-WEEK COURSE ** UNSHAMING YOUR CHART ** IS THURSDAY, DECEMBER 5, ONLY!  Check out the course page and be sure to join my newsletter for reminders about this special pricing option if you already know you’re a Yes.  +++ 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.

Here at the end of this lunar cycle, I bring you another Dark Moon Download.  What came through for us is the phrase: “all that we’re not bringing with us.” There’s a lot of juice here, but we’re especially being invited to notice and validate the fucks that we are no longer giving.  I share one of my personal favorites from over the years of being a mystic: leaving behind the fuck that I’m supposed to agree with someone telling me what is or is not possible in this world. That in order to appear responsible, I am supposed to quit my imagination function.  I hope you enjoy this one! Remember that you don’t have to listen at the “dark moon.” That’s just when these downloads want to come through for me to share. You definitely do not have to listen during any particular lunar cycle.  Whenever you are called to listen is exactly the perfect time to. +++ Check out the course page for UNSHAMING YOUR CHART!   EARLY BIRD PRICING IS DECEMBER 5 ONLY!  We begin Dec 18.

Welcome to the 11th of 12 episodes where I unshame the houses of the chart with a different guest astrologer for each episode. My guest is the heretical genius Kelsey Rose Tortorice. Our conversation was an incredibly shifting and illuminating.  To the ancients, the 11th House was called Good Spirit.  Here we’re discussing how shame can show up in the department of life we call the 11th House, which includes:  - How we constellate humans together around shared hopes and dreams  - Friends, acquaintances, associates, colleagues  - Friend groups, social networks, allies, community   - Benefactors, patrons, advancement through friends    - Prosperity and fortune, attainment of dreams  - Group identity, organizations, clubs, teams  I’m so grateful to Kelsey for going there with me.  Enjoy!  Kelsey is a post-capitalist astrologer, teacher, human design experiMentor, and community initiator. They are a student and teacher of the maia; seeking to understand and universalize the mechanics of reality within the context of individuality, cosmos, and consciousness as a whole. Their work facilitates upheaval; disrupting homogenized programming and re-orienting people to their differentiated truth and inherent wholeness.  Kelsey's links: personal stuff: personal website: https://www.kelseyrosetort.com/ - study astrology & human design the maia games podcast IG: @kelseyrosetort +++ 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.

I’m excited to share this unique look at Sagittarius season through the lenses of astrology, Human Design, and multiple other modalities. Enjoy! My guest is Alison Marie Dale, who I met inside Heretic Haven. Heretic Haven is an exploration of the 5th Line experience, hosted by Kelsey Rose Tortorice and Allyson Forseth. Alison is a 5/1 profile and I am a 3/5, which is how we both ended up in the same space.  I got to really be a student in this episode. Alison activated my HUGE INNER NERD, which is one of my most favorite parts of self. I had my notebook and pen out, writing down things she shared that I want to keep savoring. You might want to do the same as you listen!  If you’re new to Human Design, and discovering this wisdom modality for the first time, then… you’re welcome! It’s a rabbit hole. BEWARE! Like astrology, I recommend a slow and patient pathway, letting the wisdom roll in however it most resonates and going deeper as the desire emerges. This world is a lifelong study so there’s no rush.  To pull up your HD body graph, you will need your birth time just like in astrology. You can see yours for free here.  You can learn more about the 5th Line experience from my interview with Kelsey from last spring. This is one of my most downloaded episodes of 2024.  My HD teachers are the wonderful collaborators Amy Lee and John Cole of the Human Design Collective. Both are tremendously skilled teachers and readers. I will sing their praises until my dying days.  Click here to learn about the Gene Keys. Alison Marie Dale is an artist, ecological astrologer, human design guide and somatic facilitator based in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She is also the host of the weekly forecast podcast Cycles of Time. Alison is passionate about helping people realize the potential for presence, creativity and abundance in their lives in times of personal and global transformation. Her current projects combine somatic practices (breathwork, voicework & nervous system regulation), divination practices (astrology, human design & the i’ching) and expressive arts. Her mission is to create spaces where individuals can connect with the wisdom of their bodies, exercise their creative muscles, and find deep belonging within the larger universe.

My guest is the great Diana Rose Harper! Diana is one of the most insightful and critically interesting voices in the entire astrological community. Her work is cherished by all those who long for a more compassionate approach to this wisdom tradition.  To the ancients, the 10th House was called The Midheaven.   Here we’re discussing how shame can show up in the department of life we call the 10th House, which includes:  - your public-facing, most visible self - what you’re known for - your reputation, standing, status  - your career or vocation  - your gestating parent (or the caregiver who most shaped your public self) and the strivings of their lineage - what you contribute to the world and the energetics of that contribution  - ambition and achievement  - mastery of skills  No small thing! I’m so grateful to Diana for going there with me!  Enjoy!  Diana Rose Harper is a relational astrologer currently living on the West Coast of the so-called United States. Her practice aims at helping humans to better occupy our spiritual & ecological niches with the assistance of astrology's ability to render more legible who we are and how we can relate with incarnate experience.
