190. Building an Aura For My Business to Be Seen: Fall 2019-Spring 2021

To celebrate the first 7 years of my business (a Saturn cycle), I am looking back at the habits, healing, and challenges I faced in the various chapters along my path.  In this particular installment, I look at a major period of crescendo energy. I consider the phase when I got serious about building an aura for my business so that it could be seen much more widely.  In this window, I changed the name of my business to my own name held a webinar titled Witch which openly connected my face to this word hired Angela George to design my logo executed a major self-publishing project that included 14 major workbooks: Living the Signs, Moon to Moon, & Seeding The Year launched this podcast held my first year-long astrology teaching container, known as Charting Your Course had a major photography shoot downloaded and manifested The Magician’s Table - one of my most celebrated offerings  All while also holding weekly ritual space with the Moon for support with inner child healing, releasing shame, and imagining new ways of being in the world.  All while investing big time in teachers, coaches, healers, and readers.  All while still working full-time as a university adjunct and single parenting my kids through the pandemic.  Reviewing my journals, I am stunned with self-reverence for my Younger Self. She had enough passion to rocket to Sirius!  To learn about the habits and ways of being that set me up to launch my business, tune in to "The Quickening.” To hear the story of the first 18 months of my business, from first client to major milestones, tune in to “All the Nitty Gritty Details of the First 18 Months of My Business.”  SAVE THE DATES: I will be bringing the next installment of Mystics Making Money out as a Telegram channel the last week of July.  Telegram is a voice messaging app. I’ll be teaching through voice messages that you can receive and tune into on the go.

In this episode of Moon to Moon, I reflect on the compass of the present moment and what it means to live in self-trust, intuition, and connection with the mystery. I speak from within the energy of the hermitage—this sacred space of turning inward—and share how Emergence Astrology Year One supports you in building a relationship with your own inner voice, your own timing, and your own path.  I talk about the ways guidance arrives through both the seen and unseen worlds, how we unshame ourselves in order to become more available to life, and why the hermitage is not about withdrawal, but deep restoration and clarity. I also share what to expect from this container and what might be calling you in, especially if you’re still circling the threshold.

In this episode, which was also very personal and moving, I invited Emergence Astrology co-creators (aka students!) to share what Emergence Astrology feels like to them. They also articulated how it feels different than other astrologies.  This is very exciting for me since definitions for Emergence Astrology are very fluid for me. It’s also going to be partial and relative to who is talking, and when, and where.  Thank you to Sydni Baumgart for your written submission - oh my gosh the TEARS! I am so deeply moved.  +++ Amanda Caswell is seeking just the right name for that thing on the tip of your tongue.

What does it mean to be pregnant with yourself?  What is it like to hold down a Hermitage for oneself inside of what is ostensibly an astrology course? In this episode, Britten and two of her students explore the Hermitage phase of Emergence Astrology Year One as a time of gestation with oneself.  The magic of this episode isn’t just the insights conveyed - and many insights were powerfully conveyed - but the frequency of our being together that comes palpably through.

Britten shares her journey into astrology and discussed her unique approach called Emergence Astrology, which emphasizes personal growth and self-leadership through the practice.  She also explores  - the balance between intellectual engagement and spiritual fulfillment in astrology - the importance of individual experiences and personal gnosis in the practice.  - the intersection of mysticism and entrepreneurship - how a mystical relationship with astrology involves personal gnosis, self-teaching, and unshaming practices to build self-trust and sovereignty - the importance of recognizing and validating one's experiences while moving from past shame to present empowerment, allowing mystics to claim their path and live authentically - the nature of astrology, distinguishing between agreed-upon truths, personal preferences, and individual knowing - the paradoxical and often misunderstood aspects of astrology, including its taboo qualities - the importance of fostering a personal and authentic approach to the practice - the balance between self-doubt and openness to the impossible, emphasizing that mystics navigate this tension by staying open to possibilities while acknowledging their critical thinking - the importance of allowing all data, including contradictory or anomalous information, to be considered in astrology - the transformative power of learning astrology through both internal practice and external conversations with others, highlighting the unique human connections formed in astrology communities - the extraordinary experience of witnessing and attuning to others when studying astrology together Britten also discusses her 3-year astrology program The Emergence Astrology Experience, and the transformative power of learning astrology through both internal practice and external conversations.  LEARN ALL ABOUT EMERGENCE ASTROLOGY YEAR ONE Early Bird discount is on June 13 only!
