Dear hearts! I am SO very excited to share this conversation with you. Britten has been a dear friend, Mentor, Teacher + guide for me over the years in such profound ways, so it is truly an honor to welcome her to this corner of The Realm.

Hello friends. Sharing a big teaching this week that has been coming through from the spirit of Capricorn, all season long. Following the ever-deepening spiral through the wheel of the year, celebrating the ways this work continues to reveal itself over time. Dancing at the crossroads where Ancestral tending, Astrology, and Animism intersect. Many of you know I’ve been offering Ancestor Circles fo...

Well well well, my friends ~ here we are. The wheel of time turns, the wheel of fortune set in motion. This year is full, indeed — and now is a time for sacred rest as preparation. There is so much in store. To me, Astrology is not meant to be used to give us answers or certainty about ‘what is going to happen’. I believe its strength is in helping us to prepare for whatever may come, by bringing...

Beloved ones! Wow, here we are, preparing to enter the new calendar year. I feel the anticipation for 2026 has been building, and I personally feel very excited for what this year has in store. Can you sense it? The hidden magick pulsing underfoot? Something stirs! Something grows!

Hello beloveds. Wowee. Here we are. The Home Stretch. This moment is the center of the infinity loop, where past cycles converge with future dreams. Can you feel the friction? It will be creating fire soon enough, and once it starts, change will come swift + true. You are more ready than you know. This week, Mars + Saturn challenge us to confront our desires + perceived limitations. Structural Opp...

Friends! Welcome to the final month of 2025!? Whoa? What a year it has been. Grateful to be along for the ride with you all. When I sat down with my Ancestors for this week’s podcast, they instantly referred to it as “The Shedding Moon”. They showed a sweeping wing, clearing off all the stagnant clutter that has accumulated over the course of this year. They brought breath, wind, clarity. The Full...

Hello sweet friends ~ how are you doing out there? How was that Scorpio New Moon for you? I am definitely still feeling the sensitivity, especially after being taking to such depths over the course of the past month. I feel hopeful as we prepare to meet this week and all that Sagittarius invites us into, by way of processing + integration. The movement from Fixed Water to Mutable Fire is one of th...

Nothing needs to ‘happen’, right now — stillness is a vital part of every grow...

This week, we formally enter into November, which I am calling an Alchemical Crucible of a month. There is SO MUCH happening on the threshold between Scorpio/Sagittarius, which is traditionally a very alchemically-coded intersection point in the sky. And with that comes the real psychological work of transmuting lead into gold; unconscious materia into conscious, embodied forces. This is honestly...

My friends! Blessed Samhain, Día de Muertos, or however you observe this weekend’s threshold. I have been thinking a LOT about ghosts lately, and what produces them — in the Land, in the Culture, and along our Lineages. I wanted to share a longer teaching on the subject, especially as it relates to Ancestral Lineage Healing work. We have no shortage of ghosty sh*t in the world due to our current c...

My friends, I am so excited to share this week’s reading with you. My Ancestors were very vehement about sharing another channeled message, and so we did! This one is for the entirety of Scorpio season, as an alchemical crucible in & of itself (as always). It’s felt really good to share more authentically in this way, as my own practice of Oracular Mediumship deepens. Something about this particul...

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit altarofstars.substack.com My loves, I can’t believe we are already approaching the threshold of Scorpio season this week. We have another New Moon occuring at the crossroads, the day before the Sun enters a new sign territory. This happened in September with the Virgo New Moon / partial eclipse occuring the day before the Equinox! This...

What a sincere + resounding honor to have Mariola Rosario share her profound wisdom with us all. Mariola is one of the voices in the Astrological world that I not only admire deeply, but trust to TELL THE TRUTH. Her work has been foundational in the re-envisioning of cosmologies that is SO deeply needed when applying Astrology as praxis, for the cultural moment we are navigating in real-time. I am...

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit altarofstars.substack.com Friends! This week, in honor of Ancestor Szn, I wanted to share an episode that focused more heavily on connecting with the beloved dead. More specifically, I wanted to share some insights on how to do so with ritual safety in mind, as well as potential pitfalls, complexities, and needs for discernment when con...

The full moon in Aries this week brings deep relational truths. How we navigate the space between self + other. It is the work of lifetimes, generations of relational repair. The shadow of Libra + Aries runs DEEP in our collective psyche, burrowed by punitive justice systems and religious dogma of ‘good vs bad’.' Accessing our own humanity is the antidote. No longer moving in reactive responses of...

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit altarofstars.substack.com Friends, I hope your heart is held by something ancient + sustaining. The wake of the Eclipses has been quite destabilizing, I am always humbled by the integration process of their medicine. This week, there is not a lot of huge astrology, which perhaps comes as a breath of fresh air + supports whatever integra...
