There is no healthy shame 🔥
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…
Limitations are portals 🌀
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.…
The magic we seek is inside of us ✨
The magical path is wild. It’s weird. It’s chaotic and unforeseen. It’s radically taboo in our rationalized, evidence-based world… and so we’re never really ready for what happens when we let the magical self have a voice. For many of us, the mystical and intuitive arts bloom in the dark of solitude. We do this to practice what we love without the invalidation and shaming of the world outside. We protect what’s beautiful to us. We nurture our devotions with care and sweetness. But what lights up inside of us wants to find its way out to the world, sometimes before we think we’re “ready” for it. It takes audacity to name yourself a magical person to other people. You’ve…

Calling in the next two cohorts of 12 https://brittenlarue.com/the-magicians-table-2023 There is a table for you to feast on the delights of belonging to magic. It’s a space for you to listen for the throb of your unique channel, and dance to the thrum of frequencies from your colleagues. It’s a zone where it’s okay to be messy, to be unsure, to be unmasked, because it’s what is required to get us closer to our gifts. This is not an outcome space. There are no promises. Expectations unwelcome. What you receive will be just for you. A medicine just right for the moment you’re in. No two individuals will drink from the same cup. This table is a heart space. It’s…
What if you are right on time?
I have been blitzing it up in Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/brittenlarue/) on a daily basis as words move through me. What I share is the accumulation of lived wisdom from participating with the Cosmic Body in daily, micro, mundane ways. It’s where I am with Emergence Astrology in the present moment. And most of the words I’m pollinating around are direct quotes from my most recent journals. If you’ve been in my space a while, you know that I used to write a lot more often: I shared updates about the astro, I wrote horoscopes, I produced podcast episodes on seasonal forecasts, I promoted Year Ahead Readings. In short, I did what astrologers do. But I stepped back from all of these…
There is no such thing as potential
I do not make resolutions. I draw my dreams down from the astral plane and plant them in the loamy soil of this timeline. The tradition of New Years resolutions presumes we can always be “better” than we are right now. This is a Time problem. Overculture tries to sell us on an aspirational version of ourselves that’s about maximizing “potential.” To this I say: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS POTENTIAL. THERE IS ONLY EMERGENCE. Potential is the same performance-oriented, results-based urgency that’s separated you from the present moment. Potential is a fantasy that shames you. Potential feeds on attachments and expectations, which bring you disappointment and grief. Emergence Astrology (https://brittenlarue.com/emergence-astrology) wants to stop you from engaging so unkindly…

Voicing from a Place of Presence
Today I will be leading a live session in Cave Space on “The Medicine of Autumn.” This is one from my heart. There is no end to the wells of love I have for what I call the “teachings” of the signs Libra, Scorpio, & Sag. You see, I found astrology on October 11, 2017, when my brother emailed me my birth chart and gifted me a New Moon in Libra class called Awaken Your Witch from astrologer Chani Nicholas. I had just separated from my ex-husband and I was calling in anchoring and guidance through the death passage. My brother knew I was studying with an intuition and energy healing teacher as well as learning about working with the…
The Pleasure-Pain of Learning to Trust in Life
The realm of the Plutonic and the Scorpionic includes those life experiences that take pleasure to the pressurized point of pain. In the deep deep deep of the dark cave waters, I remember what my younger self may have taken pains to forget. I let myself feel the intensity of all that I want and what I hurt for. I sit with those parts of myself more lusty and more gruesome than my Aboveworld thinks I am allowed to be. And I let die whatever part of me in that moment is fixed on me not seeing in order to maintain ego control of my identity. Why put myself through this process? Because every round helps me trust more deeply…
Top 7 Underworld Chart Placements
When I open a chart for the first time, I can see right away if I’m sitting with a someone who has what I’m calling an “underworld signature.” (https://brittenlarue.com/cavespace) What I mean by that is someone who might * have experienced a notable degree of trauma (chronic or single incident) * find a lot of resonance in learning about trauma * identify as living with mental health journeys, including OCD, depression, and panic * recognize themselves as having co-dependency patterns in relationships including self-abandonment to keep the other person happy * feel a sense of lost innocence, some kind of primal theft of self, even if they don’t remember why * have the ability to hold space for other people’s…
