Dear reader, Recently in my group mentorship container, I was asked to share the 3 biggest hurdles I’ve faced in the 7+ years since I quit my academic career path and hopped onto a totally new one as an astrologer and transformational guide. Without hesitation, I knew it was these three: 1. Learning to Hold Myself Beyond Analytics Those first few years, every lost follower or unsubscribed email felt like a personal failure. I saw each one as a potential sign that it was not going to work out for me. Analytics dictated my self-worth. My nervous system lived in constant crisis. The hurdle was realizing analytics are outside my control. To take my power back, I had to get…

I usually roll my eyes at “3 simple steps” promo, except when it’s true. In the case of amplifying your power for it to be seen in the world – in person or virtually, it makes no difference – there really are 3 steps. They would be simple, except everyone I have ever met has to unlearn old ways of seeing and perceiving in order to receive their medicine. We’re going deeper into these steps all this week in the latest Mystics Making Money workshop. For $44, you can learn how to weave these steps so fully into your life that they become embodied. You don’t even have to think about it – you EMIT the 3 steps in your…

Dear reader, Today the Moon is back in the same sign as the start of the last lunar cycle, which was June 25, when we had our New Moon in Cancer. Sometimes, right before the New Moon (it’s tomorrow), I feel so full of insight from the cycle we’re closing that I have to let it spill out… what I call a “dark moon download.” This time, the wisdom that’s coming through is that self-validation is miraculous. This last cycle has been a lot of me. It’s been dominated by the aftermath of a painful personal conflict. An experience that forced me to confront, once again, the old hope that I could be seen and held differently. That maybe this…

This nautilus shell (above), carved with floral details by Cornelius Bellekin between 1650–1700, made me think about the elaborate, beautiful shells we all create—especially when our feelings are on the line. Why is it so hard to unshame Cancer? Why do we hide our softest places, even from ourselves? Traditionally, we associate Cancer with The Crab. Crabs are species that live in oceans, freshwater, and on land. They are notable for their thick exoskeletons and for a single pair of pincers. The Crab works well as a symbol for Cancer, in my mind, because the Cancer in us is very concerned with protecting our sensitivities (the tender meat inside of crabs). Throughout our childhood and adolescence, we develop an outer…

When I entered a deep encounter with myself in my own mystical hermitage back across 2017-2018, one of the most painful things I had to surrender was my infatuation with the picture of myself as a beautiful, wounded bird. This mystical hermitage period was utterly life-changing. I became acquainted with guidance from the other side of the visible world who were showing me my gifts as a seer and speech-artist of astrology. They showed me pictures of myself as a public astrologer, author, and business woman, a teacher and mentor to creative visionaries. This was wildly delusional at the time given that I’d only just started learning astrology and the tarot. I had only just discovered my innate capacity for…

I’m sharing raw journal reflections today in honor of Juneteenth. These are not polished. They’re alive. They come from my ongoing work with Unshaming, with mysticism, and with my responsibility as a white woman in the work of collective liberation. I share them not as answers, but as a practice of voice, devotion, and reckoning. Today we celebrate Juneteenth, which is to say that we celebrate liberation. Here are my reflections, as transcribed from my journal this morning. Liberation for only some people is liberation for only some of me. Liberation for only some of me is liberation for only some people. Where there is resentment in me that I have to live in a world where our focus is…

In this message, I share the words of students who were part of the inaugural cohort of Emergence Astrology Year One last year. In our conversation, we discuss a very unusual practice that I visioned and offered, which I call The Two Eye Practice. For anyone wondering what it’s actually like inside this container, please keep reading, and check out the full conversation here (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/186-everything-is-worthy-of-reverence/id1503553925?i=1000712731466) . The Emergence Astrology Experience (https://brittenlarue.com/course/emergence-astrology-year-one/) is a 1-3 year program that I’m currently in the middle of birthing in a deeply emergent way. The only way to enter into this dream is to start with us at the start of Cancer season each year. That time is now. The Two-Eye Practice is something I…

In this message, I share quotes about the experience of Year One from students who were part of the inaugural cohort last year. For anyone wondering what it’s actually like inside this space, please tune in below, and check out the full conversation here (http://xhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/185-were-making-babies-stories-from-the-hermitage-in/id1503553925?i=1000712074288) .

It’s just that this container resists linear and hierarchical constructs that we’re used to for safety and coherence. It’s not that this space isn’t…

A SNEAK PEEK INSIDE TIME SECRETS (http://brittenlarue.teachable.com/p/time-secrets1) A FREE GIFT FOR YOU! Mars’s Time Secret (http://brittenlarue.teachable.com/p/time-secrets1) is probably the one that has most reprogrammed my relationship to being a person on planet earth in the last 7.5 years since I discovered astrology. Mars is a part of you that is deeply connected to the present moment. Mars is unashamed of what you want and is turned on to go and get it. Mars is the erotic impulse. (So is Venus, who we will discuss Friday on Venus’s Day.) Mars is the forward-moving part of you that actually wants to hump up against what you want erotically to happen. If you’ve read Living Astrology (https://bookshop.org/p/books/living-astrology-how-to-weave-the-wisdom-of-all-12-signs-into-your-everyday-life-britten-larue/20660024?ean=9781423665045&next=t) , this is where I talk…

A SNEAK PEEK INSIDE TIME SECRETS (http://brittenlarue.teachable.com/p/time-secrets1) MY NEW FREE MINI-COURSE! In the language of astrology, the Sun is a huge force in the chart. Most people on the planet earth are aware of their Sun sign, even if they don’t know anything else. The Sun is the inner light source. The light battery. Beaming out from the heart out into the world. What is the responsibility of a star? A star’s only responsibility is to surrender to its own nature. The fact of its aliveness. A star’s own being, just the fact of its mass, makes fusion inevitable. This inevitable fusion makes its light, and powers all the life in its orbit. To be connected to the Time Secret…
