Reminder: Unshaming Libra (https://brittenlarue.teachable.com/p/unshaming-the-signs-libra) is this Friday! Each sign scares me. At the heart of Unshaming the Signs is my desire to tap into some kind of feral, ferocious essence of the planet that rules that sign. I want to be infused with that essence to my blood and to my bone. And then I want to let it roar out of me and immerse you with its power. This project has been wild to hold. I cannot predict what it will be like! I only write posts when the words roll in and it’s time. There’s no “batching” here. I couldn’t write this in advance if I tried. It is Emergence Astrology: Trust That Voice & Follow It. I…

Reminder: Unshaming Virgo (https://brittenlarue.teachable.com/p/unshaming-the-signs-virgo) is TOMORROW at 3 pm CST. Enrollment includes the replay. Before you can be anything, you have to first be an imposter at it. In the tarot, the Magician ~ card one ~ is born from The Fool ~ the zero. In order to create magic in this world, you have to be willing to be Foolish. To be The Fool is to be the one outside of the story, seeing it from the bigger picture. To not take things so seriously, finding humor and wisdom in our egoic narratives and attachments. This part of you plays in the liminal realm where all possibilities exist for new ways of being in and for this timeline. From…

This is for all the witchy nerds and nerdy witches out there who get HOT FOR CURRICULUM! Yes, it’s true. I am hot for curriculum. I salivate for a sexy syllabus. And the Moon to Moon (https://brittenlarue.com/course/moon-to-moon/) curriculum is especially incendiary. It came to me through my channel so I didn’t overthink it. Since Sunday is the last day to register, now is the time to get into the details so you can feel into your choice. The design of the course was seeded when I heard my guides speak the phrasing The Way of the Three. I told my co-facilitator Rebecca Padgett (https://rebeccapadgett.ca) about this, and how I was seeing a tripartite schedule with 3 weeks on, one week…

“I worked on myself until I became a gushing fountain of passion, pleasure, and magic” – said no one ever. We are told that working on ourselves is what we’re supposed to do to be responsible adults doing a good job in the world. I wanted to be a good person. I wanted to be proud of myself. I wanted to love myself. These were sincere desires with sincere intentions. But I would rebel against these intentions in ways I used to call self-sabotage. Now I see it as the intelligence of some part of me that wanted to stop treating myself like a thing to fix or a problem to solve. And so all those years of working on…

** ———————————————————— If you asked me 6 or more years ago if I thought I had any intuitive abilities I wouldn’t even know how to answer you because it was so far from my worldview. I didn’t know enough about the intuitive arts to even be curious about it, and I had no friends or colleagues in this space to ground it into my reality. I’d never had a healing session more alternative than acupuncture before 2017, much less any kind of reading. Ever. Many who come into the identity of “intuitive” or “psychic” or medium” didn’t consciously seek it out. It’s wild to me remembering myself landing in Intuitive Healing 1 with my teacher Deborah Kremins (http://intuitionmed.com) . Suddenly…

The heart is the only organ in the body that regularly makes a choice. In the space between beats, the heart has to decide if it wants to keep thrumming. This choice is a leap. We do it because – in spite of everything – we want to live. Each beat is a leap for the love of being alive. Leo is the sign that rules the heart in medical astrology. Leo is a way of being human that leaps with aliveness. We all have Leo in our charts, whether we have placements in that sign or not. Leo is so important to each of us because – no matter what sign and which house you have your Sun placement…

Back in 2018, I named out loud: “I want to be a midwife for people moving through change, and I want astrology to be my primary tool.” This was a fairly ridiculous proclamation at the time. I was studying for my qualifying exams toward my PhD in Art History, and only a tiny handful of individuals on the planet knew that I was even into astrology. My first paying client came through a friend that spring within a month of vocalizing that spell out loud. I started my Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/brittenlarue/) in the summer. And then in the fall, I created a website for folks to find my offerings and my story. Creating a website was not a skill I’d imagined…

It was at least 6 months ago that I started noodling on an idea to create a series called Unshaming the Signs. The concept grew from my observation that every client, student, and emerging mystic who came into my space was struggling with moving through shame, and that the way I speak astrology helps transmute that shame into love, courage, and wonder. I gave a presentation to my students in Astrology as Praxis about the topic in February – a chance to see how it felt coming out of my mouth and to feel into whether the idea felt powerful to anyone besides me. That day I decided to begin rolling it out with Aries, giving the experiment an entire…

I have found it to be true that what most ails me is the persistent sense that something is wrong with me, that I am inherently bad, that I am unlovable, that I’m a problem. THIS IS SHAME. I have found it to be true that if I believe there is something wrong with me then I will bring that belief to the timelines that astrology can help me dream into being and project those beliefs into my future. I have found it to be true that it is very difficult to see my birth chart clearly when shame is the primary lens for self-witnessing. I have found it to be true that the planets cannot talk to me about…

I want to speak with you about the marvelous. But it’s a story that begins with grief. Funny thing: I’ve spent most of my life wishing my sadness would go away so that I could live inside the wondrous. Turns out, the way in was through my grief all along. Have you learned this, too? Saturn has entered Pisces. Both the planet of limits and the sign of limitlessness have wisdom for us on the nature of both grief and wonder. I want us to listen. You cannot hold the infinite in both hands without limiting it somehow. This is in fact the sentient experience: being limitless spirits in these limited meat suits. It’s the melancholy of existing at all.…
