| ✧ Week Ahead ✧ September 6th, 2026 ~ Virgo New Moon ♍︎⋆°✩ | 06 Sep 2026 | 00:01:56 | |
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit altarofstars.substack.com Okay beloveds, this week welcomes our first Lunation out of Eclipse season. A moment of clarification, distillation, discerning what is most essential for us to take with us into the future of our path unfolding. The Virgo New Moon peaks on Thursday, September 10th at 11:27pm EST. This lunation is occuring at 18* of Virgo, in the second decan ruled by Venus. This is the work of the ancient priest who knows the importance of dying well. It is the honoring of life by way of honoring death. It is preparing to give ourself proper death rites, as a means of honoring everything that has led us to this moment — also knowing that we cannot take everything with us into the Great Below. It is Inanna removing a layer of her ceremonial garb as she makes her way through each of the seven gates, into the Great Below. It is a process of distilling the teachings down to their very essence. It is holding vigil, allowing the silence to speak multitudes. It is devotional presence as medicine. I’ll let the podcast speak for itself, enjoy the New Moon — ritual + tarot to come later this week. Much love, my friends. <3 xx Teagan UPCOMING OFFERINGS… Venus Rx Preparations ~ September 11th, 2-4pm EST Join us in Ritual space to prepare the way for Venus’ descent into the Great Below.

| ✧ Week Ahead ✧ August 30th, 2026 ~ Eclipse Integration ⋅‧₊˚⋅ | 30 Aug 2026 | 01:05:02 | |
Beloveds ~ I hope you all survived that Pisces Lunar Eclipse with ease — it brought such unexpected energy, I am still swirling in the wake of it all. I don’t have much to say this week beyond the usual, and have made this episode open for all to listen in the spirit of Eclipse Szn Aftercare <3 Part Divination, part astrological insights as usual, the overarching themes of this week’s episode involved a lot of encouragement to take it slow + steady as we recalibrate ourselves in the wake of such transformative currents. In rest, we discover those hidden keys that await beneath waking consciousness. You’re all cordially invited to the season offerings below, one is just after the New Moon next week to honor Venus’ retrograde preparations! JOIN US! <3 𖥔 BOOKS OPEN 𖥔 Beloveds, I have opened my books for September + October. I am prioritizing Astrology + Ancestral Healing work nowadays, but also have some space for Oracular Divination and Folk Magick Consultations. Reach out to me directly with interest on the latter subjects. Astrology Readings + Ancestral Healing sessions can be booked via my Calendar link here; In regards to Oracular Divination, these are asynchronous readings sent to you as a voice recording, informed by whatever questions or context you share beforehand. I would consider this to be a cross between Mediumship and more undefined Oracular work, where the potential for Ancestors, Allies, Land Powers or other Spirits may come through to speak with you. These continue to be the most rich, powerful messages I have the privilege of participating in, and can only do a few a month due to the energy it requires. Lastly, this is the first time I am openly offering Folk Magick consultations beyond word-of-mouth connections. This can include a vast array of topics, but my focus is on Protection, Spirit Work, Land Healing, Ethical Love + Boundary Magick, Dreams and Ancestral Healing. The process looks like an initial consultation to discuss your desires, and workings on your behalf. Reach out with any questions or curiosities. <3 Teagan West UPCOMING OFFERINGS… Venus Rx Preparations ~ September 11th, 2-4pm EST Join us in Ritual space to prepare the way for Venus’ descent into the Great Below.

| ✧ Week Ahead ✧ August 24th, 2026 ~ Pisces Lunar Eclipse ⋅˚₊‧♓︎‧₊˚⋅𖥔 | 23 Aug 2026 | 00:05:36 | |
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit altarofstars.substack.com Beloved ones, here we are now, crossing the threshold into the final phase of Eclipse season. How are you faring out there? Have you been utterly rearranged? Not quite sure which way is up yet? Good, stay with it. I personally feel really moved by how potent this Eclipse season has been, and continues to be. It feels as though we’ve been able to traverse multiple timelines within this soul’s journey, sift through the teachings of each and find our way into alignment with that which is most suited for the path ahead. I am traveling thru Salish Land / Washington State to visit one of my teachers for a week, and she said something yesterday that struck me; “When you receive a calling, you must follow it. And remember that when you receive the Call, nothing is never as it seems.” There is an immense wisdom AND courage required to follow this instinctual nature, to the point where we trust in it so deeply that we need not understand where it’s taking us. We simply follow it and trust the path ahead. I have been working quite a bit with this animal nature, the wolf-like being that resides within. The first chapters of Women Who Run With Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes feels like an extremely timing guide for these waters. In my experience, the wisdom of Pisces can guide us in this. The secret of this trust - or dare I say, faith - is an intimate understanding and EXPERIENCE of the interconnectedness of All Things. When we know in our bones that every movement on the path is in chorus with some greater pulse, as the beat of the World’s Heart, we find our place in the greater family of things with ease. We trust in endings and beginnings, that death is a doorway, and our felt sense of this continuity can guide beyond reason. That is Faith, to me. The Tarot Card that corresponds to the Decan where the Eclipse is occurring is the 8 of cups. The image itself feels entirely fitting to meditate on as we welcome the teachings of this final eclipse in Pisces… Enjoy, my friends. May you find the courage to trust yourself with bringing things to a close. We’ve been cycling through these teachings for 2 years now, it is time to move on. Let go ~ you are readier than you know. <3 xo Teagan UPCOMING OFFERINGS… Venus Rx Preparations ~ September 11th, 2-4pm EST Join us in Ritual space to prepare the way for Venus’ descent into the Great Below.

| ✧ MEDITATION ✧ Energy Cultivation + Centering Practice | 19 Aug 2026 | 00:03:08 | |
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit altarofstars.substack.com Beloved ones, I hope you’re doing well out there, all things considered. The wake of the Eclipse left me ragged, in need of resource. I have been returning to drink from the well of the practices that nourish me, which has often looked like waking up before sunrise to sit and listen to the dawn chorus. Drinking Lotus tea, practicing subtle movements of Gong Fu, tracing the contours of my field in quiet contemplation. The animal body must move slowly to integrate the big changes that are here. The biggest message I received this past week was that with expansion comes equal + opposite contraction, and we must expand our capacity for the big energy that is taking root in our system. If our circuits are fried, that becomes nearly impossible to integrate. The technology of our animal body, the intelligence of this vessel, IS the container where any energetic change will occur. May we create the conditions for that to be enriching + deep. Our nervous system is the circuitry, and our mind is the tabula rasa. Regulating the animal body and clearing the mind are ways to prepare this vessel for whatever process is underway. So, I wanted to share a practice with you that I do every morning, to anchor this into my being. The recorded meditation is a foundational practice from a private cohort of beloveds who have undertaken the study of traditional witchcraft together. Another cohort will begin soon, applications are open. You can find the details below, and reach out with any questions or curiosities you might have. Much love as we prepare for next week’s eclipse in Pisces. Fair Winds, xx T | |||
| ✧ Week Ahead ✧ August 16th, 2026 ~ Liminality Between Eclipses | 16 Aug 2026 | 00:03:08 | |
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit altarofstars.substack.com Beloveds, hello. I don’t know about you, but that Leo Solar Eclipse impressed me with its potency. We are in for some deep teachings in this year to come. May we meet the moment skillfully, and resource ourselves accordingly. These are exceptional times we’re living through, there’s not doubt about that. This week, I wanted to offer more of a divinatory temperature check on this very liminal time between Eclipses. I know better than to force clarity, or pretend as though I have anything novel to say, as I am very much in the thick of it with you. And so I share here what my guides have shared with me, reminders more than directives. A sense of perspective. I will let the episode speak for itself. If you’re new here, welcome — I share these weekly podcasts with patrons, and an occasional monthly reading that is open to all subscribers. I so appreciate your presence here! <3 xoxo T UPCOMING OFFERINGS… Venus Rx Preparations ~ September 11th, 2-4pm EST Join us in Ritual space to prepare the way for Venus’ descent into the Great Below.

| ✧ Week Ahead ✧ August 9th, 2026 ~ Solar Eclipse in Leo ❤️🔥 | 09 Aug 2026 | 00:03:08 | |
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit altarofstars.substack.com Friends, our first Eclipse of the season arrives this week. There has been much hullabaloo about this one, it is a big moment indeed. Nothing is as it seems; may we take time to drop into the Deep Self, to hear it speak. My guides unexpectedly had a LOT to say about this one, so it turned into mostly a live oracular divination / trance speech, which felt like a nice surprise. They mostly speak in symbol + poetry, so I hope it makes some sense. Try not to think too hard about it, intellectually at least ;) The eclipse occurs on Wednesday, August 12th at 1:45pm EST ~ a Solar Eclipse in Leo. I’ll let the episode speak for itself; enjoy, friends. If you’re curious about where this energy activates your chart, you can find the Rising Sign invocations HERE: Here are the upcoming offerings I mentioned at the beginning of the episode, keep an eye out for the Venus Ritual in September too! <3 xoxo Teagan ANCESTOR CIRCLES / GROUP LINEAGE HEALING APPLICATIONS for the Fall Cohort NOW OPEN!!!

| ✧ Week Ahead ✧ July 26th, 2026 ~ Aquarius/Leo Nodal Shift + Full Moon! | 24 Jul 2026 | 01:14:44 | |
Wow friends, recording this episode was a feat in and of itself! SUCH big Astrology awaits us this week, a continuum of energy as we integrate Barbault’s Basket. I’m releasing this a few days early so folks can be present with the big shifts as they roll in! <3 I’m going to let the episode speak for itself for the most part, but here’s the cliffnotes: SUNDAY July 26th: The North + South Node back up into the Aquarius/Leo Axis. This sets the stage for the karmic conditions in our collective consciousness in a big way, activating an entire new realm of Eclipse Season themes. TUESDAY July 28th: Venus in Virgo squares Mars in Gemini, both ruled by Mercury who has just stationed direct in Cancer. This feels like a course correction that might come by way of friction/tension. Stay with the discomfort and try to notice where it’s an invitation for much needed change WEDNESDAY July 29th: FULL MOON in Aquarius + Jupiter Cazimi in Leo! * The Sun will be conjunct Jupiter in Leo at 6*, the Moon on the opposite side of the sky conjunct Pluto in Aquarius. This is a stand off, illuminating dynamics of power as they function within + without in our collective + individual psyche. The Full Moon peaks at 10:36am EST on Wed. July 29th! It is also our last Lunation before we officially enter Eclipse season. Ritual + Tarot to come this week in preparation! <3 PS: if you’re interested in an Eclipse Season Reading (asynchronous) shoot me a message, I’ll be offering limited spaces for them this year! <3 Lastly, I just opened availability in August/September for 1:1 sessions ~ Ancestral Lineage Healing, Astrological Readings + Oracular Divination… Also, if you’re interested in hearing my retelling of the Samudra Manthan where we see the origin of Rahu/Ketu (North + South Node) in the Vedic Mythology, you can find it here; This is a public episode.

| ✧ Week Ahead ✧ July 19th, 2026 ~ Barbault's Coffin + Mercury direct | 18 Jul 2026 | 00:07:15 | |
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit altarofstars.substack.com Beloveds! Have you heard the news!? It’s a bird, it’s a plane — no! It’s Barbault’s Basket! (Which I have jokingly referred to as Barbault’s coffin in the title because I thought it was a silly and somewhat true correspondence)! To be honest with you friends, I’m not so interested in surgically examining the exact aspects of this configuration. As I sense the energy in the collective field and lean back into my Ancestors, there’s a real sense of a need to FEEL our way through this, rather than think or intellectualize. So much of what’s happening is subliminal; tectonic plates shifting beneath our feet, our animal bodies sensing the undercurrents of change emerging. The sense has been; stay present, curious, open — and try not to collapse into the stress of so much energy flooding the collective at once. Against vignettes of smoky skies and ecological disruption, I cannot help but feel like the impacts of this Astrology are occurring right before our very eyes. The invitation is not to look at all the Fire in the skies and on Earth to say “well, I guess this is how it is”, but to allow those conditions to mobilize us into more conscious participation. What is our responsibility amidst all of this, as Ancestors ourselves? Perhaps that is just my own daily locus of curiosity, but I can’t help but feel like the true change must first occur within, for any of its impacts to be expressed outside of us, too. My own personal take: Feel your F*cking Feelings. Let yourself actually be moved by this moment. Do not go numb in the overwhelm. Disassociating on instagram due to the overwhelm of ecological grief is not going to be very helpful. Most importantly, find ways to effectively channel all the BIG emotion that is most likely moving through your animal body into something that can help it transform. The only way is through. I’ll let my rambles speak for themselves. If you wanna hear the other musings I mentioned at the beginning of this episode, check out this beautiful chat I had the pleasure of sharing with the beloved Chad Andro and Chaise Levy ~ you can find the full episode on Chad’s Patreon: Radical Elphame or Chaise’s Substack: Hagstone Podcast 🔥 AND ~ If you’re interested in exploring the implications of Land Reconnection + Animism amidst this moment of significant transformation, here’s a way to do that; We begin July 21st, and the live calls will be on Tuesdays at 8pm EST for 12 weeks. About the Course: Previously titled Practical Animism, this course offers an experiential inquiry into how to live with more heart, humility, and connection. It blends animist or Earth-honoring ethics, ritual practice, and sharp cultural analysis. Together, we’ll explore reverence beyond belief, relationship beyond blood, and connection beyond the human. Drawing on diverse Earth-honoring lineages of practice as well as “new animist” teachings, this course examines the soul of kinship, the weight of loss, and the sacred possibilities still available in a world shaped by rupture, beauty, and responsibility. This course does not offer doctrine or a set of fixed beliefs. It supports a reorientation of the self in a web of relationships—seen and unseen, human and other-than-human. It’s a course for those seeking heart-centered ritual, sacred accountability, and frameworks for connection rooted in care, complexity, and respect. | |||
| ✧ Week Ahead ✧ July 12th, 2026 ~ Cancer New Moon, Ritual + Tarot!⁺˚⋆♋︎₊⊹ | 12 Jul 2026 | 00:01:17 | |
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit altarofstars.substack.com Beloved Ones, hello. Each week I sit down it feels like lifetimes have passed since last writing to you. I hope you are faring well out there, genuinely. Wrapped inside this little care package is a ritual + tarot spread to support your New Moon renewal. This New Moon is curious; the luminaries will converge at 21* of Cancer, not exactly aspecting anyone else. Mercury Rx will have just passed over the Sun, so we revel in the afterglow of the Cazimi with this Lunation. It feels like a breath, the space between inhale + exhale. An opportunity to clear something. This week also brings the opening aspects of Barbault’s Basket, the configuration of outer planets that hasn’t happened for hundreds of years. The planets involved are all in Air + Fire signs, so the theme of ignition continues to amplify. What does wind do to fire? It fuels the flame. The French Astrologer (André Barbault) who identified this configuration predicted that it will be the impetus for massive international change. So we can only hope; our work is in becoming the active participant in this process. I have felt more so recently, that in order to become such an agent of change myself, I must do the work of releasing old models about myself and the world that actually serve as barriers to true participation. The old stories, the wrought patterns, all that inhibits my ability to actually respond to The Call. I feel this Cancer New Moon is a moment to do exactly this; clear the path from within. Below is a New Moon Ritual + Tarot Spread for this reason. Sending you love, my friends ~ may you be gentle with yourselves as the world turns over. <3 | |||
| ✧ On Animism ✧ a little chat | 08 Jul 2026 | 00:16:23 | |
Hello beloveds! I truly hope you’re all faring well out there. Here with a little pared-down share this week, in regards to my relationship to Animism. As I prepare to anchor a course through Ancestral Medicine on Animism + Earth Reconnection, it has me thinking a LOT about my own relationship to these topics and the teachings that have been so graciously shared with me over the years. I talk a bit about my own journey of reconnection, how it applies to my practice of animistic astrology, and the need for these lifeways to be embodied rather than intellectualized to foster true relationship. If you’re interested in more along this conversation, check out the course. We begin July 21st, and the live calls will be on Tuesdays at 8pm EST for 12 weeks. I’ll let the recording speak for itself here, but know that I am very much (and always will be) just as much a student of these stirrings. Especially as a grandchild of diaspora, so much of this has been the lived reality of my own reconnection process. It is a holy kind of homecoming, an ancestral remembrance and above all else, a birthright of belonging. May this be the pathway back into such depth of intimacy.

| ✧ Week Ahead ✧ July 5th, 2026 ~ JULY MONTH AHEAD⁺˚⋆♋︎₊⊹ | 04 Jul 2026 | 01:04:47 | |
Hello beloveds. How we doin out there? Each day has felt like a lifetime, which is usually a sign of some serious tectonic plates shifting in time/space reality. Lots of change underfoot, a constant tide to swim amidst. This doesn’t necessarily have to be a bad nor stressful thing, but of course it all depends on how we choose to relate to it. I’m taking notes on that daily. As I sat down to record the podcast this week, there was a really clear sense that I needed to zoom out and see beyond the Astrology itself. To get the whole picture, I ended up doing a lot of divination and this reading is the result of that. Lots of helpful messages came through that were good medicine for me to take in, and I’m hopeful they are for you too. The first 2/3 of the podcast is mainly divinatory messages, and the latter third is the astrology of the week ahead. At a high level; Neptune stations retrograde, Venus enters Virgo and immediately passes over the South Node who is currently conjunct the Fixed Star Regulus. Lots of power there. I’m sharing this podcast as free for all subscribers. If you’re new here, usually the podcast is paywalled but I’ll occasionally post one that’s open for all. Let me know how it lands, I’m genuinely curious if it resonates! In Other News… This Summer I’ll be teaching a Course on Animism + Earth Reconnection through Ancestral Medicine. This was the first course I had taken with Daniel Foor before joining the organization as a practitioner almost 7 years ago, so it’s a huge honor and full circle moment to be the Lead Teacher for this class. We will talk about the many-faceted dimensions of Animism both in theory and praxis, discussing how to embody these Earth-Honoring Ethics in our walk. The intention is to develop an all-encompassing relationality to the more-than-human world, and the many other Beings that we share the landscape with; both seen + unseen. If you’re interested, check it out! The course begins on July 21st, and I’ll be anchoring the live calls on Tuesdays at 8pm NYC time. Hoping to see some familiar faces and share in this really timely discussion together. Reach out with questions anytime! <3 xo Teagan This is a public episode.

| ✧ WEEK AHEAD ✧ June 28th, 2026 ~ Capricorn Full Moon ♑︎ 𓃵 ♋︎ ₊⊹☪︎ | 26 Jun 2026 | 00:03:03 | |
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit altarofstars.substack.com Beloved ones! oh BOY do we have a week ahead of us! So many planetary shifts, so many big moments. I do declare the next wave of astrological changes are taking place in the field, and thus in our own psyche. May the Capricorn Full Moon help us to find our anchor amidst the flux. First of all, we are at the final LAST CHANCE SALOON to join the Shadow Months mentorship, which won’t open again for another year! There’s an incredible group of beloveds that have gathered around this altar, and still time to join us. DOORS CLOSE on June 30th, to honor the Capricorn moon. If you just want to join the online course library and NOT the live mentorship group, it’s currently 50% off until June 30th as well. Reach out with questions! <3 Second of all, I want to reshare a little yap from Capricorn season, in honor of the Full Moon on Monday. This musing was on the nature of the Land as our first + formative Ancestor, open for all to listen; Okay, now for the play-by-play of the week ahead, because we have some seriously major ingresses occuring! Sunday, June 28th: Mars enters Gemini until August 11th ~ which will be ruled by Mercury in Cancer, who is soon to be retrograde. The connection between these two planets by way of rulership cannot be overstated; our strategy + follow-thru is up for major recalibration. Go slow, try to keep your mind steady. Monday, June 29th: * Capricorn Full Moon, 7:56pm EST ~ occuring in the first decan of Capricorn at 8*, ruled by Saturn in Aries. An invitation to check our impulses and re-instate our commitments to the long-term vision. * Mars in Gemini squares the Nodes at 0* virgo/pisces: an initiation and a closure at the same time. What have we learned for the past year and a half from the nodes, and what is Mars illuminating in response? This is a body-level integration, a somatic renewal. May our orientation recalibrate accordingly. * JUPITER ENTERS LEO!!! ❤️🔥 the annual ingress of our beloved Jove, preparing to expand a whole new territory of our lives. In the heart of the lion, we are invited to come more fully into our power; Right-sized dignity. Friday, July 3rd (yikes): Mars forms a conjunction with Uranus at 1* Gemini. Lightning strikes Earth and starts a fire that we must tend wisely, lest it fry our circuits with its powerful awakening. Recalibration might be needed at a nervous system level to be able to handle the energy these planets are bringing into the collective body, the circuits alive with potential energy. I’ll leave the rest for the podcast itself. There’s a discount code below for patrons of this space to join the online course at an EXTRA percent off, in gratitude for your support. Big love, kin ~ stay steady out there. <3 T | |||

We will travel through the Shadow Months together, forming animist relations with the celestial powers and tending the colonial wounds embedded within this study. We do this work together, in community, on purpose. To learn more about the nitty gritty details of the Mentorship container itself, I posted a full-length explanation on my Youtube Channel HERE! » Early Bird* 50% off ends at the Capricorn Full Moon (June 29th), full details below! * Paid Patrons on substack can scroll ALL the day to the bottom for an EXTRA 20% off code to join us too ;) Okay dears, the time has come to talk about Chiron ⚷. This episode is a DEEP DIVE into a very important ingress that is often overlooked, which is the very real tenderness of Chiron’s movements across the sky. Last Friday June 19th, Chiron entered Taurus. This is as big a movement as Uranus, Jupiter, or Saturn’s ingresses, especially because Chiron has spent the last 7 years in Aries. | |||
| ✧ Week Ahead ✧ June 14th, 2026 ~ Venus in Leo ₊⊹𓄂⋆˚.⋆ | 14 Jun 2026 | 01:22:05 | |
Beloved ones, this week’s reading is a pretty wide-view look at the karmic web as it exists in this moment. Surprisingly as I tuned into Venus’ energy this week, she brought me pretty ‘far out’ to look at the context of the moment we’re all navigating together from the Eagle’s Eye view. The teachings of the Vedic Ancestors came in pretty strong to help ground the bigness into something (somewhat) tangible. A lot of what I was speaking to comes from Sāmkhya philosophy + the tattvas as a way of organizing universal energy - I highly recommend my teacher Dr. Vasant Lad’s work on the subject if it interests you. I’ll be so curious to hear your thoughts on how it all lands, genuinely. The heart of this week’s astrology is a series of aspects that Venus will be making to the outer planets, as she slowly enters the early degrees of Leo. Sextile to Uranus, Trine to Neptune, Opposite Pluto. Lots of big energy tugging at the heartstrings, asking us to meet the changing conditions of our life from the Heart rather than the Head. Courage is the work of Leo. <3 I’ll let the episode speak for itself, let me know how it settles in. Big love! T EXCITING NEWS! Doors are OPEN for the next cohort of Live Group Astrology Mentorship! We will travel through the Shadow Months together, forming animist relations with the celestial powers and tending the colonial wounds embedded within this study. We do this work together, in community, on purpose. Early bird 50% off ends at SUMMER SOLSTICE, see below! This is a public episode.

| ✧ Week Ahead ✧ June 7th, 2026 ~ Gemini New Moon ⁺˚⋆♊︎˚.⋆₊⊹ | 07 Jun 2026 | 00:05:15 | |
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit altarofstars.substack.com Hello my friends! This week holds some Big Magick, and with that comes big responsibility. It all depends on how we wield this wand within, the direction of our will, the clarity of our mind. This kind of energy will go wherever it’s directed, so may we be discerning and hella intentional with how we use it accordingly. That is the work of the Magician, as Gemini knows best. Here’s the high-level look at the week ahead; * Tuesday, June 9th: Jupiter-Venus conjunction 25* Cancer ~ this double-whammy benefic energy is an opportunity to harvest the merits of a year-long exaltation for Jupiter, and all that has been accumulated in the Cancer part of our chart. Be fair warned; this energy is an amplifier for whatever stands in it’s line of vision, so give extra attention to what you’d like to receive the Miracle Grow efforts of Jupiter’s grace. Jove can be indiscriminate with where that expansive quality is directed, so our work is in being very clear + precise about what it is we’re hoping to grow with all of that accumulated energy. * Procyon is also in the fold of this Benefic conjunction, which gives the enthusiastic self-starter energy + protection over our workings. The challenge is in helping those efforts sustain long-term gains, rather than short-term gratification. Stay with it. * Friday, June 12th: Uranus in Gemini squares the Nodes at 2* (Virgo/Pisces axis) ~ this energy affords us stunning, surprising insights that strike like lightning. And yet, our circuits might not be ready to hold the full reality of those visions. The work is in updating and recalibrating our system to be able to hold the fullness of that vision and not collapse under its bigness. We might get a glimpse of insight that also helps us to integrate what teachings the Nodal axis has been bringing for the past 1.5 years in the Virgo/Pisces axis of our chart. Pay attention, make note, and reform your stories accordingly to make room for the awareness offered. * Saturday, June 13th: Venus enters Leo, laying a path of ruby red roses to add some pomp and circumstance to the Leo part of our chart. Venus is giving us a pep talk so that we are truly ready to receive the reality of our prayers being answered, and have the courage to believe we are worthy to have good things. How Good Can it Get? Venus is pushing our sense of perceived limitation around creative vision and the stories we have about ourselves to be able to go after what it is we desire. Who TF are you!? This is also preparing the foundation for Jupiter’s ingress into Leo at the end of the month! And finally, Sunday June 14th at 10:54pm EST we have a New Moon in Gemini. This Lunation is an invitation to take a serious inventory of our Mind, as the Tabula Rasa for any magickal intention. ‘Clear the Canvas of your Conscience’. From here, we can actually create from a clean slate and envision a world beyond our perceived limitations. What thoughts, feelings, fears, doubts + desires underpin the entirety of your stories about the world? WHO IS THE NARRATOR IN YOUR LIFE? What are the stories you’re telling yourself, and are any of them True? This mental landscape is the beginning of our magickal practice. Be intentional, precise, and discerning. The Magician Wields the Wand of Consciousness and Creates Accordingly. New Moon Ritual + Tarot to come later this week, + Join us in Ritual Tuesday!… ✧ COME ONE, COME ALL! LET US CELEBRATE THE SWEETNESS! ✧ MILK + HONEY ✧ a big community ritual on June 9th, 2026 at 2pm ET to celebrate the benefic conjunction! As Venus + Jupiter reach their peak of union, we will come together and share a spacious, tender, and DEEP ritual in communal space. Donation based! <3 LOVING YOU!! <3 xoxo T | |||
| ✧ Week Ahead ✧ May 31st, 2026 ~ JUNE MONTH AHEAD⁺˚⋆♋︎₊⊹ | 31 May 2026 | 00:04:35 | |
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit altarofstars.substack.com Beloveds! I hope the Full Blue Moon was good to you. If anyone did the very Jupiterian ritual from last week, I’d love to know how it felt! I certainly feel it’s a practice I could stand to incorporate more often, beyond once a year! The week ahead is pretty docile, marked by Mercury’s ingress into Cancer and an initial square with Neptune in Aries. My hope is that this transition affords us a bit of settling, after a very BUZZY few weeks with Uranus’ entrance into Gemini joined by Mercury. The entrance into more Cancerian energy is likely to soften the conditions just enough for us to be able to drop into the heart and let the body’s wisdom guide. The realm of felt-sense, memory, intuition ~ right on schedule. I decided to talk a bit about the month ahead at a high-level this week, as June holds some pretty important moments of resource before heading into the second half of the year. I likened it to a pit stop in the middle of the desert, an opportunity for us to recuperate and prepare for the next leg of this wild adventure. The reminder from the spirits at the end of the reading was; “there’s so much you can’t see ahead of you”, and it was intended as a very encouraging perspective shift, to buoy amidst uncertainty. May we have faith in the innumerable sources of support all around us, working in our favor. May we remember to say ‘Thank You’ in moments when that resource finds us. We are in this together, alongside forces seen + unseen. ✧ COME ONE, COME ALL! LET US CELEBRATE THE SWEETNESS! ✧ MILK + HONEY ✧ a big community ritual on June 9th, 2026 at 2pm ET to celebrate the benefic conjunction! As Venus + Jupiter reach their peak of union, we will come together and share a spacious, tender, and DEEP ritual in communal space. Donation based! <3 | |||
| ✧ Week Ahead ✧ May 24th, 2026 - FULL BLUE MOON in Sagittarius 🏹 | 24 May 2026 | 00:07:17 | |
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit altarofstars.substack.com Hey beloveds, I hope that Uranus Cazimi on Friday was good to you. Definitely felt like the proper welcome for the sky god’s blessings in this Mercurial realm. Hidden keys being discovered within, to open doors we do not even know about yet. Perhaps you found one over the last few days! This week holds some growth edges, leading up to a big beautiful Full Blue Moon in Sagittarius next Sunday May 31st. The week ahead covers all of the astrology right through next weekend, to properly prepare for the Full Moon’s illumination. And, because it’s occurring in the wee hours of the night on Turtle Island, so Saturday night ceremonies are in order. Ritual suggestion to come later this week, and perhaps some Rising Sign Spells to support the opportune moment. The Sagittarius Full Blue Moon occurs at 4:45am ET on Sunday, May 31st! Lots of ‘hot takes’ came through my divination about this week’s astrology. A few bangers from the spirits revolved around the essence of our endearing human tendency to lose the plot altogether. This faculty of imagination we hold within is such an insanely powerful tool, when wielded accordingly. And, as with anything else, we have the ability to get carried away when out of balance. We project our vision into some unknown future and dream, meanwhile the tools in our idle hands accumulate dust. The work is in collapsing this dissonance and harnessing both faculties, to the best of our ability. I’ll let the podcast speak for itself. Ritual care package incoming, later this week. <3 LAST CHANCE SALOON! Our upcoming cohort of Ancestor Circles begins the first week of June. There are 2 different circle options to accommodate different time zones, with spaces open in each. Join us! <3 * Wednesdays @ 3pm EST ~ starting June 3rd * Thursdays @ 6pm ET ~ starting June 4th | |||
| ✧ Week Ahead ✧ May 17th, 2026 - Changing Tides ♀☆♂ | 17 May 2026 | 01:08:18 | |
Beloveds, the tides continue to turn by the day. I have heard many reflections during readings with folx over the past week that the change is getting to be intense, uncomfortable, disorienting. So much kindness to this. May we catch the current that brings us into deeper rhythm + pulse with the transformation at hand. There are multiple planets shifting sign territories this week, which I hope will bring a much needed shift into the cooling, soothing qualities of the Earth + Water element. There has been oh-so-much heat, dryness, agitation. These are the conditions needed to start a fire, yes. And, they’re not super sustainable long term, lest we burnout sooner than later. Everything in moderation, especially the elemental forces of our foundation. I’ll let the rest speak for itself ~ if you prefer to watch me lap in real time, I’ve posted the full video of this week’s episode on youtube. smash that like button if you dare! ;) Our upcoming cohort of Ancestor Circles begins the first week of June.

| ✧ MEDITATION ✧ Land as Memory Keeper 🐂 & Taurus New Moon Tarot | 15 May 2026 | 00:01:52 | |
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit altarofstars.substack.com Beloveds, blessed dark moon to you. I hope you’re feeling resourced by your connection to something ancient + sustaining. It was a big week here, the land seems to be processing a lot this time of year. So much moving through above + below, in Land + Sky, within + without. May you find ways to metabolize so much transformation with ease <3 Coming to you with a bit of a care package in time for this Taurus New Moon; a guided practice & tarot spread for your enjoyment. This is one of the golden lunations of the year, the Moon in her place of exaltation. Peaking in the third decan of Taurus, a place ruled by Saturn’s steadfast devotion ~ there is generous invitation to commit to the things we care about most. To tap into that ancient current of heart that runs through all things, the kind of devotion that says; I am going to stay. To stay with it, even & especially when things get challenging. To stay persistent with our dreams, and not be strayed by the distractions of fleeting pleasure or instant gratification. This is the slow magick of Taurus that knows the satisfaction of delayed gratification, the pleasure of building something meaningful with your own heart + hands. The grit, the glory, the commitment held true over time. This is claiming what matters with our whole being, and showing up for it again & again. Tonight, we held our monthly Community Ancestor circle, that is open to all past participants of the seasonal cohorts of Ancestor Circles. I didn’t have anything planned, as my people suggested I really listen to the needs of the group. So much grounding, wisdom, and connection came of this circle. We turned towards the spirits of place where each of us are rooted, and invited the land to share with us the stories that felt ready to be disclosed. As settlers, visitors, humble students of this place; we asked to learn. The guided practice shared above is what came through during our circle tonight. DISCLAIMER: I highly recommend having a solid, steady connection to Ancestral Elder powers from your own lineages before practicing this, as it can be intense to invite the land to share its memory with us. The Land is a memory keeper. It holds layers upon layers of impressions, feet + claws + critters crawling through the landscape since time immemorial. It holds the wisdom of what happened there, how the terrain slowly changes over time, how it was loved and the pain it witnessed. It holds everything. It felt intimate, ancient, like a secret shared only with those who seek to listen deeply. May we learn how to listen so that the land can continue to share its most intimate stories with us. Slowly over time, a relationship tended with care, presence, and consistent devotion. One beloved participant in the group shared how ‘healing is the act of returning’, again & again. This is the essence of this New Moon. May we keep returning, willing to listen, to learn, to embody the responsibility of relationship to All Things. The New Moon peaks at 4pm ET on Saturday, May 16th. Our upcoming cohort of Ancestor Circles begins the first week of June. There are 2 different circle options to accommodate different time zones, with spaces open in each.

| ✧ Week Ahead ✧ May 10th, 2026 - Taurus New Moon 🐂♀️ | 10 May 2026 | 00:03:08 | |
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit altarofstars.substack.com Hellooo beloveds! We have an enlivening week ahead of us, culminating with a TAURUS NEW MOON on Saturday, May 16th at 4pm EST. I am looking forward to this exalted lunation, an anchor amidst such churning waters. This New Moon is at 25* of Taurus, the third decan ruled by Saturn and corresponding to the 7 of pentacles. This is that good, slow growth. This is devotion as a duty driven by Love. In this week’s podcast, I offer a reading from a book I’ve been loving by Richard Wagamese, a fellow Anishinaabe ancestor. May it serve as a compass for the level of devotion we are all capable of, when we take what we care about seriously. Patience requires us to make a vow with whatever it is that we care about, that we will not stray when things get hard or our fate grows weary. Patience is evidence of Love in Action, a level of commitment that says I will stay with it, whatever may come. That is what I feel from this Taurus New Moon, on Saturn’s day no less. The Taurus New Moon peaks at 4pm ET on Saturday, May 16th. I would recommend doing a ritual that involves taking a Vow, making a promise to what you care about. As usual, I’ll be sharing a Tarot spread + Ritual for patrons later this week! PS — THANK YOU ALL for supporting the debut of my Youtube channel. I really sincerely appreciate all of the encouragement and excitement. I have officially made last week’s episode OPEN TO ALL on substack, as it holds a lot of good juice about the month of May in all of its glory.

| ✧ Week Ahead ✧ May 3rd, 2026 - Divination for the Month Ahead! | 03 May 2026 | 01:04:38 | |
Beloveds! Hello! I wanted to offer a bit of a high-level look at the month ahead, as so much is constantly shapeshifting as we speak. This week’s reading is part divination / ancestral messages, part astrology (at the end). One hot take that came through this one from my people: * every revolution throughout history has been unique. This One we’re currently navigating involves the recovery of our relations to the spirit world, as a part of our ‘army’ as it were. * Much of the harm that colonization has caused, that has contributed to the intensity of past revolutionary moments, is due to severe rupture between the humans + land spirits / bigger powers. To recover this relationship is to begin repairing the hundreds of years of rupture that colonization has caused. More in the reading of course. And, big news! I have finally started a Youtube channel! So you can watch me yap on screen, if you so desire. My ancestors encouraged it, so we’ll see how it goes. I likely will do one video a month, and our usual weekly podcast here on Substack. The episode this week is paywalled to encourage folx to check out the Youtube version. PLEASE follow/leave a comment/like the video if you care to support over there, it’s really appreciated ! + SPECIAL EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT! + For those of you interested in participating in a Live Ancestral Ritual together, we have just planned a 3-Day Intensive for Samhain weekend in Rochester NY!

| ✧ Week Ahead ✧ April 26th, 2026 - Scorpio Full Moon ♏︎‧˚☽.‧ | 26 Apr 2026 | 00:56:15 | |
Beloveds, how are you faring out there? The waters continue to ebb, pulled by the winds of change. As Luna waxes into fullness, we become that great sea guided by her will. The winds of change sweep through the landscape, and we are shaped by their making. What are we becoming? Uranus is now in Gemini, bringing greater winds to fan the flames that have taken root in Aries. We are becoming firekeepers now, preparing many years to embrace this culmination. It is a trial by fire. How to take action without having a clear expectation of outcome? This is the bravery of the Fool. The Scorpio Full Moon peaks on Friday, May 1st @ 1:23pm EST… ritual coming soon to celebrate! The week ends with a Full Moon in Scorpio, in tandem with Bealtaine! Themes of fertility, death + renewal, the contrast of decay + livelihood that give us the richness + dimensionality of life abounding! The Full Moon occurs in the 2nd Decan of Scorpio, associated with the 6 of Cups. Musings on Power Retrieval take the form of childhood memory, reclaiming our fearlessness to become MONSTROUS. Take up your full size! Become terrifying to dissolve the beasts of empire! ♏︎‧˚☽.‧ MY BOOKS ARE OPEN FOR MAY + JUNE! ☽ NEW 1:1 live + asynchronous offerings await!

| ✧ WEEK AHEAD ✧ April 19th, 2026 - Uranus + Venus enter Gemini! | 19 Apr 2026 | 00:09:37 | |
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit altarofstars.substack.com Whether we like it or not, that level of activation is here. The winds of change have arrived, only to fan the flame that Aries has already set in motion. Whatever already has momentum will gain it. Be intentional about how you use this energy. What fires do you want to burn stronger, and which ones are you ready to put out before the wind comes? On Saturday, a long awaited ingress of the year arrives; Uranus enters Gemini. For the next 7 years, the sky gød who brings the lightning strike of immanent change will be moving through the airwaves, whispering in the wind, reshaping the landscape with gusto. This moment is what you make of it. Catastrophizing is unhelpful. Yes, let yourself be overwhelmed. Then, do something about it. Create the conditions in your personal space for as much presence + intentionality as possible. It is the only way through to the other side of this process. And it is a marathon; do not let your light burn out so easily. You have the capacity to birth worlds, each day you wake. The last suggestion that came from my Ancestors; write a prayer or invocation that you can speak aloud to yourself + the Land each morning. Let it be a way of calling yourself into presence + into relationship with the world around you. Perhaps even speak it in (one of) your mother tongues if possible. We are re-membering. <3 xoxo Teagan | |||
| ✧ WEEK AHEAD ✧ April 12th, 2026 ~ Aries Stellium ♈︎ New Moon 𓃵𖤓 | 12 Apr 2026 | 01:02:27 | |
Friends, wow. We have a LOT of fire in the skies, and I’m certain I’m not the only one experiencing it very somatically. Mars tends to bring that embodied level into the mix, and now our work is tempering it accordingly. I’ve been thinking a lot about warriorship, devoting ourselves to something bigger than us and preparing for a battle that may never come. And yet, here we are. What are you fighting for? How to use that energy when it counts? To be in service to Life. Amidst so much destruction, so much blatant opposition to virtue, it is no small feat to stay rooted in this prayer. This is the creative potential of Aries, to be in service to Life, against all odds. Spring returns each year with an insistence on LIVING. And so, we must. I am taking it day by day, knowing there’s a lot of uncertainty about how this unfolds. I know that resourcing ourselves is more important than ever, and being extremely discerning with how we choose to wield this flame in service of creation. Reactivity is more likely these days, and so, try not to waste that fiery energy. Use it when it counts. Restraint is not repression. The New Moon in Aries culminates at 27* on Friday, April 17th at 7:51am EST. It is a moment to get clear on what you’re fighting for. You and what army? What ground do you stand on? How will you wield this energy accordingly? That decision is a choice we must make each morning. Keep going. Do not collapse under the weight of despair. Embody the counterspell. <3 New Moon Tarot spread coming later this week, but I recommend reviewing the Neptune in Aries Invocation for your Rising sign below to reignite the flame of your discernment, and know where your arrow is pointing.

| ✧ WEEK AHEAD ✧ March 29th, 2026 - Full Moon in Libra + Non-duality | 29 Mar 2026 | 00:08:25 | |
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit altarofstars.substack.com Beloveds, this week is full of Venusian Magick. It feels in many ways as though Persephone is making her grand appearance in the landscape, within and without. Emerging from many months in the Underworld, she returns with an invitation to harvest what we learned from our time in the Great Below. On Monday, Venus enters Taurus, the place of her domicile. She is comfortable here, able to express the essence of sensuality as evidence of Divine Birthright. I go into this at much depth in the podcast, from a Tantric (Shaktism) perspective. The Full Moon in Libra peaks in the wee hours of the night, at 1:11am ET on April 2nd. I recommend doing a ritual the evening of April 1st, to welcome Persephone and the Rites of Spring. Embodiment, fecundity, and the true origin of All Relationship as the One without a Two. I did not expect to riff so deeply on Non-duality as a teaching of Libra in this episode, but to be completely honest, I am tired of this Zodiacal teacher being flattened into a platitude of ‘relationships’ in a very modern, binary, colonial sense. This episode is meant to serve as a bit of a de-mystification of Libra’s true essence, understanding the nature of relationship as evidence of Re-Union. The One in the Many, the Many in the One. My experience with traditions that emphasize non-dual creation stories are shared as examples of how this is retold through mythopoetic lenses, that help us understand the abstraction of procreative origins. As usual, I will post a little care package for the Libra Full Moon on Tuesday. Thanks so much for being here friends <3 xoxo PS ~ the passage I read at the very end is from Awakening Osiris. Feeling inspired to read chapters of this book to you all, perhaps more soon <3 | |||
| ✧ WEEK AHEAD ✧ Cazimi Magick + Aries Devotions ♈︎ 𓃵 𖤓 | 22 Mar 2026 | 01:08:25 | |
My friends! This week brings go-power. Multiple Cazimis + conjunctions in Aries asks that we are willing to KEEP MOVING, as a way to break out of the confusion + fragmentation that our own dis-memberment creates within. "You will freeze in place if you remain this way. You must not, dear. You have to move.” — Rainer Maria Rilke So many messages in this reading that I want to leave for the recording itself. My ancestors have been VERY passionate about staying wakeful, being active and allowing movement to create clarity IN PROCESS. It is not about knowing where we’re going, it’s about moving for the sake of no longer staying stuck in the liminal. This is the movement from Pisces into Aries; out of the dream and into creation. "Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final". — Rainer Maria Rilke Colonial history has stripped us of our Ancestral + Spiritual Maps, to be able to see this moment for what it truly is. At face value, we see chaos + destruction. Without a framework for initiatory processes, we stop here and succumb to the utter overwhelm of this terrain. When we reframe this moment of destruction as a Rite of Passage, we open to the possibility that CREATION can be born from its ashes. That this is part of a transformative process. Destruction is the first necessary phase of any creative generation. Keep going; no feeling is final. One piece that my Ancestors have been very vehement about is recognizing how much the dulling of our sense organs gives way to this overwhelm. It exaggerates it, keeps us frozen in place. The antidote is in staying wakeful, recognizing that everything we take in through our eyes/ears etc is actively shaping the Nature of Mind. And the Nature of our Mind is thus creating our experience of reality. ‘Your thoughts create your reality’ is the subsequent, externalized piece to a process of creation. The former piece that is so often overlooked, is the internal awareness that what we take IN to our mind is actively influencing our unique vantage point of reality. Whatever we are creating outwardly comes from this place. Thus, our awareness of what we are allowing to shape the Nature of our Mind affords us the choice to more intentionally have agency over the reality we are creating. The conditions of our mind field create everything else. It is not actually very complicated. Staying wakeful, being mindful of what we’re taking in and how that’s shaping our experience. Yet, also recognizing that in repairing our relationship to the world around us, we become more available for new maps to be born of this moment. The myth that our maps are lost to the distant past is a form of colonial erasure. The truth is, these maps were renewed with each new generation. They were born of relationship; to place, to the land, to the spirits + ancestors that surround us at all times. Our only task is in LISTENING. From here, we uncover the maps that can actively help us MOVE into action, creation, and generative will. Without this, we resign ourselves to fear, overwhelm, and accepting destruction as an end to our creative agency. No thank you. I will not go gentle into that good night. Love you. Take care of yourselves + each other. I have 5 scholarship seats left for the Online Course!

| ✧ WEEK AHEAD ✧ Pisces New Moon 🌙 + Equinox Threshold! | 15 Mar 2026 | 01:01:38 | |
Beloveds! Whoa. What a whirlwind it’s been. I feel quite like that meme of the Polar Bear emerging out of slumber, discombobulated and hair amess. Eclipse season paired with a fallen Mercury retrograde is NO JOKE. Feeling relief as I look to the week ahead and sense glimmers of breakthrough on the horizon. The Pisces New Moon peaks at 28* on Wednesday, March 18th @ 9:23pm ET. The first lunation after Eclipse season is always a welcome one, clear from the influence of the Nodes. It is a reset button, and the specific zodiacal energies of Luna’s placement signals themes of how the planetary ancestors are supporting our emergence. This week’s New Moon just so happens to be occuring at the very last degrees of Pisces, an area of the sky that has gotten a LOT of attention over the last month. In its shadowy state, Pisces energy can create confusion, illusion, and a sense of dissociation. There are of course healthy levels of this that support our need to release control and trust the mystery. However, everything in moderation. When this tips too far into total dissolution, we lose our sense of linearity, which can be very overwhelming for our fragile human egos. It can lead to trying to make sense of the mystery to generate some semblance of control, which can often have us straining to take action from a chaotic or ungrounded place within. It can feel like desperately grasping for something familiar, usually initiated by parts of us that are really in need of our care. Kindness to our humanity. As challenging as it might sound, sometimes the most medicinal way we can navigate this energy is by allowing the dismemberment. Doing our best to resist the ‘need to know’, allowing clarity to emerge on its own time. We humans are always trying to play God, unintentionally, when we grasp for certainty. We try to get ahead of the process, because the unknown can be truly terrifying. And yet, the clarity always comes. The light of dawn breaks through the fog of uncertainty, allowing us to see the method of this seeming madness. That is what this week has to offer. We have been in the chrysalis phase all month, turning to primordial goo ~ and now the imaginal cells are ready to dream a new way into being. We couldn’t be here without the dissolution of old stories + timelines; we must release our attachment to them in order to truly dream from a place of clarity + potential. We must dis-identify with who we’ve been, to fully dream into who we’re becoming. One of the biggest messages that came through my divination this week was about the generative magick of Eros. I have a feeling this is also what the Equinox is bringing at the end of the week; the big, juicy emergence of Aries season, the match being struck to give way to a burst of creative energy. FIRE power baby!! Our butterfly wings filling with the generative potential of our dreams + co-creative will! <3 I’ll let the podcast speak for the rest :) Stay tuned for Tarot Spread + Rising sign invocations to welcome this New Moon properly. <3 BIG LOVE! xx T PS: Last call to join the online course at a heavily discounted rate this year, details below!

| ✧ WEEK AHEAD ✧ Eclipse Aftercare 🌙 Venus, Mars, Jupiter direct! | 08 Mar 2026 | 00:05:00 | |
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit altarofstars.substack.com Hello beloveds! My goodness, what a portal that Blood Moon Eclipse was. Never underestimate the power of the Mystery to bring just what the doctor ordered ~ it is all absolutely part of the dance, even + especially when it catches our fumbling footsteps. Welcoming the edges as necessary curriculum. Welcoming the need for some good old fashioned eclipse aftercare, for two reasons; first, to help us contain all that timeline jumping back into our human form and ground ourselves in what we’re choosing to live into. And, to embrace the dismemberment with equal opportunity for informed action, interrupting patterns and moving from a liberated place within. The beauty of sacred agitation is that it creates openings for new realities to take shape. And, we must move at the pace of our animal bodies, and gently update their stories. It is easy to become split between mind + body, intellectualizing ‘the teachings’ of big cycles, yet not really integrating them into our embodied experience. Patterns do not change from the mind, they change when we move differently. This must come from an embodied place, in the end. As Venus freshly moves into Aries and Mars freshly moves through Pisces, I am feeling the wisdom of these two feelers inviting us into new embodied realities. To claim what it is that we desire, to trust our attunement, and then to move from that place in an embodied way. Inner guidance rooted in a harmonization of our values, our intuition, and our nervous system; this is energetic integrity. Our values are the compass, the intuitive + nervous system capacity their fuel. Supported by the divine, attuned to our body. From here we can truly move in an informed, decisive, titrated way. Jupiter also stations direct on Tuesday, which is a big deal! We have a few final months of this benevolent one’s exaltation, helping us to reap what we’ve sewn with fresh insight. The courage to stay open, to keep on dreaming, even in the face of potential dissapointment. Hope is a thing with wings, they say. I’ll let the podcast speak for itself.

Tonight, as the Full Moon rose in the East, we gathered in circle as we do every Moonday to speak of Earth + Stars (as part of the Altar of Stars Live Mentorship Group). There was tenderness in the air, and overwhelm from just how dizzying this energy has been to navigate. This practice felt like a prayer, an offering. I wanted to share it with you all in the hopes that it supports whatever process you’re in under this potent eclipse. May it nourish you, and make room for more heartfulness. I wanted to share a few insights that came out of our group conversation tonight, the collective pool of wisdom everflowing with abundance… ‘The Earth is Speaking. The Land is Speaking.

| ✧ WEEK AHEAD ✧ Virgo Lunar Eclipse : Full Blood Moon 🌙 | 01 Mar 2026 | 00:02:13 | |
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit altarofstars.substack.com Okay beloveds, here we are ~ round two. Our next Eclipse of the Season occurs this Tuesday, March 3rd at 6:33am EST. It is nearly exact, the Sun + Moon coming within 4* of the Lunar Nodes. Bringing the precision of Virgo’s scythe, we are invited to thresh old narratives that have clouded our vision. This is a Full Blood Moon / Lunar Eclipse, meaning that the Earth will pass between the luminaries, casting a shadow onto the face of Grandmother Moon. There is blood on the moon. It is the shadow of Earth creating this astronomical spectacle. It is also a metaphor, signaling the themes of the blood moon being in the constellation of Virgo; the shadow side. It is a point of release, of purge, of letting go + unraveling our outgrown paradigms. I’ve been thinking a lot of the relationship between Ontologies (ways of being) and Epistemologies (ways of knowing), in regards to the Pisces/Virgo axis. In the fever dream of modernity we’re collectively living within, these ways of being + knowing have been uprooted and replaced with colonial paradigms. What we consider ‘valid’ knowledge must be measured, empirical data - creating an overdependence on materiality. In other words; we must be able to see it to believe it. The Virgo side of the axis can verge on this overdependence, when the true gifts of this Zodiac are transplanted into a colonial context. As someone with a stellium in Virgo, ruled by a 29* Mercury in Virgo, I am a lover of systems + patterns. In its true essence, this is a genuine appreciation for the immaculate design of the natural world, a recognition of order within chaos. Virgo as Mutable Earth is the true animist, the one who has tracked the patterns of ecosystems + the natural world closely enough to come into deep, harmonious coherence with them. It is an urge towards rhythm, knowing that with every Summer harvest, there will come a Winter to prepare for rest. When Virgo’s wisdom is transplanted from its deep animist roots, into a colonial paradigm structured around productivity + linear growth, that impulse of the gardener who follows the cycles of the harvest becomes confused + contorted. Much like global warming confusing the flight patterns of birds; Capitalism has created an unsustainable eternal harvest phase, where the fields are never allowed to run barren. We have diverged from the cyclical, rhythmic intelligence of nature, and created unmaintainable systems that uphold unrealistic productivity standards. What was once a circle becomes a line, that defies all of Nature’s design. How does this live in us? Our Bodies are a kind of Earth, as Clarissa Pinkola Estes says. To think that this colonial paradigm isn’t internalized into our own blood + bones is folly. The Shadow of Virgo reveals this in a feeling of ‘never enough’. We can never ‘do’ enough, produce enough, BE enough to keep up with this unsustainable linear growth paradigm. Our bodies are no longer honored in their true animal nature, and instead transformed into machines to fuel the engine of capitalism + production. We fall out of rhythm, and into exploitation. So how do we go about bringing repair? Our pre-colonial Ancestors held expansive, animist lifeways that presented a cohesion of ways of knowing + being, rooted in RELATIONSHIP. Their cosmologies, traditions, rituals and cultural identities were born of this deep communion, and especially influence what they considered to be valid sources of knowledge. Like the meme going around that says; “how did I know that? I saw it in a dream…” Our Ancestor’s epistemologies included these other ways of knowing, that expand far beyond measurable, empirical data. Again, born of relationship to the ecosystems of intelligence around them; not only the seen, but also the unseen. An understanding that the spirit world is just as much a part of this one we’re all participating in together, and the knowledge they hold, just as important (if not moreso). My Ancestors remind me often ‘to be teachable’. If the Lunar Eclipse is bringing all of this shadow material from the Virgo part of our psyche, the Pisces side of the spectrum holds the counterspell. An ability to be in relationship with All That Is, in a way that transcends perceived + created barriers to connection. Pisces knows that our world is created not from order, but from chaos. In that, our adorable need to control conditions + achieve certainty are like houses made from paper in the face of Great Mystery. The real task is in expanding our capacity to be with All That Is, and allow our ways of knowing + being to reflect this relationship to the unseen forces of mystery + power that create life. To know that it is truly all part of the dance, and any semblance of certainty we may have is falsehood. Yet, moderation is also good medicine; there is always a potential to overdo it and slingshot in extremes. Without the support of that rich Ancestral root system I spoke about earlier, our relationship to the unseen can very quickly become unfounded and even dissociative. Like trying to navigate new territory without a reliable map, even an intuitive + cosmic one, we very quickly venture into spaces that disconnect us from reality in a way that becomes unhelpful. So much smoke in mirrors jargon has been produced in the realm of New Age Spirituality in the past handful of years, that is evidence of this ungrounded state (in my opinion). It is no one’s fault. Most of us in the Western world are spiritual orphans that have been viciously torn from our root system, looking for a place to feed our starving spirits. It makes good sense that many of us would go looking, either to other traditions (that we might accidentally end up appropriating), or create our own systems altogether that lend to spiritual bypassing. Again, without a connection to Ancestral Roots or Land Connection, we are a kite without a string to anchor us into the material reality, while connecting to the more-than-human world. Becoming a bridge between the realms is our true work. Many of our Ancestral cosmologies knew how to hold both of these dimensions skillfully, and find their synthesis. In essence, it is the Virgo-Pisces meeting place. And so ~ this Eclipse is bringing up these themes for me personally. It might be different for you. As a person with a Virgo Stellium, I am shockingly aware of how much colonial paradigms have influence my own definition of ‘valid’ knowledge. That is much of the reason why working with Spirits + Ancestors has become so much a part of my work; it is the exact medicine I need to unwind + reweave other lifeways. To consider that the information I receive in dreams is just as significant as what I can study in books is revolutionary. And, without a grounded approach, I can quickly become disconnected. Holding both, always. Beyond all else ~ excavating the shadow of Virgo is going the very real, decolonial work of removing capitalist paradigms from how they’ve embedded themselves into our bodies. The feeling of never doing/being Enough is a BIG ONE. The Piscean antidote is the reminder that you indeed have been created in the image of the divine, that everything in this miracle of material reality is an emanation of the One. Connection is your birthright. You don’t have to earn God’s approval like some sky-daddy paradigm. The Medicine for this Virgoian shadow is that you always have been, and always will be, exactly enough ~ simply by the miracle that you exist. You are just right. My Ancestors remind me of this often; You do not have to earn the gift of this life. But, we do want you to enjoy it. Our work is not in simply enjoying this gift, but removing the internalized barriers that have told us otherwise. You are enough. Your body is a kind of Earth. It belongs here, to the wisdom and intelligence of all things. It is woven into the fabric of creation in the same way the snowdrops burst through each spring. You are part of this rhythm, as you always have been. Let the soft animal of your body rest in this knowing. You have never had to earn it. The Magician’s Table 2026!

Shivaratri in the Vedic tradition, the Chinese Lunar New Year, Ramadan begins ~ it is a signal of some great threshold we are crossing, elbows locked in solidarity through this Mystery of Becoming. Solar Eclipse in Aquarius (N Node) occurs on Tuesday, February 17th at 7:11am EST, at 28* of Aquarius. On Friday, 2/20, Saturn and Neptune will come together in peak conjunction at 0* of Aries.

| ✧ WEEK AHEAD ✧ Feb 8th, 2026 ~ Venus Exalts + Saturn Falls in Aries!🔥 | 07 Feb 2026 | 00:07:56 | |
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit altarofstars.substack.com Friends ~ this week ahead holds some major Astrology, and feels quite like the entrance to some Great Undoing. Using the word “Transformation” feels to diminishing to the slow + steady process of dismemberment, being taken apart to see what we are truly made of. The work of revealment, of Truth, of threshing. Returning to the Essence of Self, that indomitable source of creation within. Venus enters Pisces on Tuesday, connecting us to the Heart of the World. Remember that Love is Change; the force that evolves us. Keep your finger on the pulse of this great heart beating, through whatever may come. Venus in exaltation is a MAJOR resource to buoy us amidst the astrology of this month. (Mercury Retrograde, Eclipse Season, Neptune/Saturn in Aries together…) Saturn enters Aries on Friday. If you’ve been here a minute, you’ve likely heard me yap about the importance of this transit. Reconciling our relationship to Time, learning how to hone our creative energy. Transforming Urgency + impulse into Patience + Self-trust. So much here. I speak about it at great length in the beginning of the Year Ahead transit report. Later this week, I will share written ‘Saturn in Aries ~ Devotions’ for each Rising Sign. Stay Tuned. RESOURCES MENTIONED: The two mentions I spoke on this episode was a recent conversation between Chad Andro of The Foliate Head and Chaise Levy of Northern Spirit House on the Hagstone Podcast. Highly Recommend ~ their musings on the Romantic Era were super important for me to hear. Similar to messages I’ve been receiving this past month on the potency of Eros, stoking the flames of Erotic energy as a source of sovereignty, creative will + visionary potential. Leanne|Energy Witch also recently taught on the Cauldron of Warming in the Celtic Cosmovision, which further solidified how important this feels right now to stay connected to. SPRING ANCESTORS We have a few spaces left in our upcoming Spring cohort of Ancestor Circles. We begin the last week of February, so I’ll be closing registration this week. There are two different cohort options; Thursdays at 6pm ET, or Saturdays at 11am ET. Apply below if you’d like to join us, or reach out with questions! PS: there will be a new ‘culture work’ focused circle starting in May, which the pre-requisite will be to have at least 1-2 Lineages in a steady, venerated place. I recommend joining this upcoming Ancestor circle or working with me 1:1 before joining the Culture Work series, if you’re interested in this offering. <3 LOVE NOTES <3 Some of you know I recently restarted my newsletter —> turned love letters. I’ve been craving more slow, intentional connection, especially across screens — so part of my practice of romancing reality will be sending monthly Love Notes out to those who wish to receive them. Part of the intention is also welcoming your reflections + responses in return. I am keeping these separate from my work here on Substack, as I prefer to keep this space focused on my astrological podcast / ritual offerings. Most of you are on the list already, but if you want aren’t, you can sign up for the newsletter/love letters below… | |||
| ✧ IMBOLC + LEO FULL MOON ✧ podcast, ritual + tarot + creativity guide! | 31 Jan 2026 | 00:03:36 | |
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit altarofstars.substack.com HELLO my loves! Blessed Imbolc Eve! This post includes the full package of week ahead reading, ritual + tarot spread to celebrate this most precious occasion! Lá Fhéile Bríde!!! <3 What a miraculous gift, to have a Full Moon in Leo on Brigid’s Feast day. This feels like such a gift from the Ancestors, a smile on their face + a wink in their eye. What could possibly be held within this moment, so full of Fire + potential? Perhaps it is an invitation to consider how we might use this creative energy we’ve been gifted, to birth a world into being. Imbolc/Imbolg translates to ‘in the belly’. It is a symbol of gestation, that something is growing deep inside of our bodies as emanations of the Earth. Full of creative potential, we are invited to consider how we might use this fire of vision to birth the world we dream of. The Full Moon will peak at 5:08pm EST on Feb 1st, 2026 ~ Imbolc Day! Go outside and see it if you can! Tonight, on Imbolc eve, I’ll be making a Brigid’s cross from the stalks of dried cattails on our land, and finding a special cloth to leave in the Black Walnut tree outside for Brigid to anoint with her healing energies. I will keep the cross over our door for the year to come, and place the cloth on my altar, only to be used when my beloveds or myself are in need of healing. <3 Tomorrow, as the Full Moon peaks in Leo on Imbolc Day, I plan to hold a ritual in honor of this big beautiful occasion, celebrating Brigid and holding a fire outside in the snow, under the Full Moon light. I love to think that so many of us will be connecting our altars under this potent energy, with the Celtic Ancestors at our back in celebration. Whatever may come this next year, my friends, may you remember you are protected by such big, fierce ancient forces ~ the Land, the deities, and your beloved Ancestors. Enjoy! Here’s a Tarot Spread to add to your ritual tomorrow during the Full Moon! | |||
| ✧ GUIDED PRACTICE ✧ Messages from the Planetary Elders; 2026 ingresses | 26 Jan 2026 | 00:01:54 | |
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit altarofstars.substack.com Hi friends! Happy Neptune ingress into Aries! Welcome to the next 14 years of our collective reality, shifting + changing in tandem with the Great Mystic’s guidance! I have a practice for you today, to celebrate the occasion! <3 I’ve been wanting to share this practice with you since the moment it came into being. During the Big Group Ritual at the beginning of the month, we did a guided visioning/journey to experience direct gnosis with the planetary elders, as they prepare to ingress into new sign territories. As Neptune enters Aries this week, I cannot think of a better celebration than sharing this practice again. If you did it with us during the BGR on Jan 4th, it might be interesting to try it again + see if anything new arises, especially now that Neptune has officially changed signs! I will admit, I barely planned this practice, as I really wanted to leave room for the Planetary Elders to bring their wisdom through the space. And boy oh boy, did they. So much insight + direct gnosis, a feeling of true support from their ancient presence. I’d love to hear how it goes if you happen to try the practice out yourself. Encouragement to pull some cards/divination after the journey, to clarify what each planetary elder shared with you. Enjoy!! <3 xoxo Teagan | |||
| ✧ WEEK AHEAD ✧ Neptune enters Aries ~ Fire Keeping!❤️🔥 | 25 Jan 2026 | 00:04:41 | |
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit altarofstars.substack.com Dear ones, this week brings some big time Astrology. The first of many major ingresses to take place this year; Neptune enters Aries on MONDAY! We are learning how to play with fire. How to keep a good flame. How to be in right relationship with this most powerful elemental; and unlock the divinatory magick that it holds. We are all becoming firekeepers, in our own rightful ways. Fire can burn, or it can brighten. It can offer inspiration, or frustration. It can bring rightful rage to outline our boundaries, or it can become overly defensive + reactive. It can be a force for change + transformation, or one of reckless destruction. It all depends on how we wield this flame within. Neptune’s ingress into Aries is surprising, like the sound of an alarm pulling us out of a deep sleep. It is the essence of wakefulness; of coming to our senses out of some great slumber. For the past 14 years, we have been dreamwalking. Neptune in Pisces brought great beauty, and also, great dissociation. It is no coincidence that we witnessed the rise of social media + the exponential noise that it has created under this transit. Neptune in Pisces has been just as much a play of smoke in mirrors, as it has been visionary + inspiring. We opened doors to alternate realities; now we must reckon with the impact of a lucid state gone too far. ‘SNAP OUT OF IT!’ — that’s the energy I feel from this ingress. Wake up. We need you all the way here. Lift your gaze from your screens and look at the world around you. Look at the Land, your community, your neighbors. What are you going to do about this waking dream? If Neptune in Pisces revealed to us the possibility of the dream world, a sea of pure potential; Neptune in Aries will ask us to take our dreams seriously. To act on them. To make them tangible, plant them in the soil. We have no time to waste. And, with this energy, I believe it could very easily bring the urge to ‘burn it all down’. If we do not temper our impulses, we become reactive, destructive. Saturn is not yet here to shed light on the long-term consequences in response to our actions. The next few weeks will challenge us to stay calm in the fast of instinctual reactivity. Pay attention to your impulses; they hold keys to the future. The space between awareness + action is where choice lives. Be intentional. Move from agency, rather than a disembodied sense of urgency. Urgency is a tool of empire, rooted in scarcity. Not enough creates the need to take what we can get ‘before it’s too late’. Now or never mentality is an illusion; we have fallen out of Right Relationship with Time. Slow down. Let yourself get still. Then act from a CLEAR MIND. The work of the true Warrior. On Tuesday, Mars + Pluto make a conjunction in Aquarius. This is a thunderclap, a reckoning in response to misuse of Power. We are asked to still see the humanity in our adversary, to not lose sight of this, lest we lose touch of our the humanity within ourselves. It is possible to hold a boundary and still see that your opponent is a human in pain. The dignified Warrior will never lose sight of this; the moment we do, we are enabling dehumanization. That’s where I’ll leave you for now. There’s a practice below to deepen with the fire, tending the good flame.

In this podcast, Britten shares about her own path (in ways that I’ve never heard!) and transmits the true power of storytelling in real time. The heart of her offerings come from such a deeply embodied place, so it was incredibly special to hear a bit more about where all that big magick really came from in her life + path unfolding.

| ✧ WEEK AHEAD ✧ January 18th, 2026 ~ Aquarius Szn Stellium! ♒︎ | 18 Jan 2026 | 00:04:06 | |
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit altarofstars.substack.com Hey friends. This week brings quite a shift of focus, as all of this Capricorn energy that has built up over the last month crosses the threshold into Aquarius. Sun, Moon, Venus, Mars AND Mercury will all enter this electric part of the sky over the course of this week, bringing multiple Cazimis and likely lots of new energy. What I’m keeping an eye on, however, is the presence of Pluto here at the very early degrees of Aquarius. I feel Hades standing at the entrance to this territory as a kind of Gatekeeper, waiting to meet each oncoming planetary ancestor as they enter this realm. Psychopomp work is indeed on the mind, especially that of the Collective Soul. “The World isn’t ending. A World is ending, at it is our task to Midwife a New One.” This quote has been on my mind a lot lately. My Ancestors + Guides had a LOT to say about HOW exactly we go about this work of Midwifery, which I talk about at length in this week’s episode. Above all else, remember that the Revolution truly starts within. The core of it lives within our MINDS. And so, discernment about what we allow into our mind + the influence that has over our experience is the most impactful place to start. Do not underestimate the Power of Mind Control, and the role you play in it. Control your mind, or it will be controlled for you. Might sound dramatic, but it’s true. Filtering + questioning everything that you’re allowing into your experience is the world of inner revolution. It all has direct impact on your experience of reality. Bring your attention to what is working, on a daily basis. Create a list each morning of what your resources are. Allow your nervous system to truly FEEL + register this as a form of capacity for connection, rather than succumb to overwhelm + isolation. This is the work. PS — if you are an Aries, Gemini, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius or Pisces Rising, I have cast the astrology of the year ahead at great depth for you, and have a few spaces left for year ahead readings. Reach out if you’re interested. See you next week for the IMBOLC Leo Full Moon! xo Teagan | |||
| ✧ LAND AS ANCESTOR ✧ Capricorn's Teachings | 14 Jan 2026 | 01:21:46 | |
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.

Our next cohort begins in March, and they tend to fill up fast — let me know if you have questions! Other than that, my BOOKS ARE OPEN for 2026. Astrology Readings, Ancestral Lineage Healing, and/or Oracular Divination + Mediumship are all ways we can work together.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit altarofstars.substack.com The New Moon in Capricorn peaks at 2:52pm EST on Sunday, January 18th. It occurs at 28* Capricorn. My friends, hello. Feeling lots of tenderness + fierce protection of our humanity as I come to this space. Feel me reaching through the screen to be with you in all sincerity, as we continue to turn towards this world together. What a time to be alive, indeed. That is our work, in my opinion. To continue growing our capacity to be with the ache, while not allowing it to smother our creative process. It is a necessity, that we are able to imagine ways that things could look differently, even if just for future generations. This is Ancestral work, at its core. You are an Ancestor. Responsibility. Stewardship. Inheritance. Legacy. These are the words that come to mind when I connect with Capricorn. They are all Ancestral. This life, this world — it is all Ancestral. The New Moon is a moment for this level of intention setting. To ask the big questions of ourselves. That is what the world needs of us right now.

| ✧ YEAR AHEAD ✧ 2026 ~ The Full Astrology! ₊⊹ | 03 Jan 2026 | 01:53:31 | |
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 our attention to what tools are already available within. The Magician has everything they need on the table; we need only learn how to use the tools we’ve been given to work with. This Year is about resourcefulness, restraint, sustenance. It’s about learning how to hone this fire within, this creative spark that is the origin of everything. Our desire is a compass, a source of energy worth cultivating. This Year is a Controlled Burn. Power Retrieval. Self-Trust. Faith in a Good Outcome. A Prayer Answered. The Strength of our Ancestors at our back. ✧ 2026 BIG GROUP RITUAL! ✧ JOIN US! ♋︎ Beloveds! Come one, come all!

| ✧ Week Ahead ✧ Dec 21st, 2025 ♑︎ Capricorn Szn + End of Year! | 21 Dec 2025 | 00:02:36 | |
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit altarofstars.substack.com Beloved Ones, hello + blessed solstice. I am writing to you after a stunning Solstice morning, preparing my ritual for Rauhnächt and spending time in visioning space with the Ancestors. I feel their proximity closer than ever before, the long night ahead full of memory + celebration. Yesterday, on the Anniversary of my paternal grandmother’s death, we had a traditional Irish Funeral to lay my maternal grandmother’s body to rest. Usually I associate this time of year with Capricorn’s grandfatherly presence, but somehow, I feel my grandmothers are making their mark on this threshold as an opening of sorts. I cannot deny their presence amidst the proximity of the Ancestral Realm, and the ways they have carved their name into the tree of Life + Death as One. My experience of Winter Solstice is changing. As mother night spreads her wingspan to its fullest extent, the embrace of darkness seems like a homecoming. I feel quite moved by this moment, as if the doors between the worlds have been cast wide open, and the presence of so many beloveds in spirit are able to come pouring in. What a gift. Working with the Ancestors truly changes the experience of Death in such deep, profound, and mysterious ways. May you feel that eternal presence as a soul friend. This week, the Spirit of Capricorn is certainly here to meet us at the entrance of the Solstice. Mars makes determined movements through Capricorn, as the Sun + Moon cross that threshold together with Venus soon to follow. It is certtainly a vibe shift, but perhaps a welcome one at that. I always find Capricorn’s steadfast spirit to be so refreshing, a careful guide for our footsteps as we enter Winter’s visioning cave. If you have been here for previous years of the Altar of Stars Capricorn Szn readings, you’ve likely heard me use my favorite phrase that my ancestors shared with me many cycles ago; ‘what does it take to build a world?’ — this is what Capricorn wants us to sit with. And yet, counter to what our hyper-materialist Capitalist society might say, the tangible action in response to this question is only half (if not less than) the true work of worldbuilding. As the bringer of Winter, Capricorn initiates us into Deep Time; legacies that extend across generations + lifetimes. To truly build a world, we must be so deeply in touch with this expansive vision, that we can hear the guidance of our Ancestors speaking through the fire. The work of Capricorn, in my opinion, is True Listening. It is an attunement to the cycles of creation that requires our receptivity; only from there can our actions be informed, resolved + determinant. To lean back into the support of the Elder Powers that truly know how to build a world, we must learn how to really listen. And so, I feel this particular end-of-year threshold is equal parts receptivity + intentional, decisive action. The listening comes first ~ the choices follow. Enjoy, my friends! See you next week for our New Year / Full Moon! <3 2026 Year Ahead Readings: Personalized Divination + Forecast! As mentioned, if you’re interested in a 2026 year ahead reading (and are willing to wait to receive it until a week or so into January), I can make space for a few more!

| ✧ Week Ahead ✧ Dec 14th, 2025 - Sagittarius New Moon 🏹 | 13 Dec 2025 | 00:04:30 | |
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit altarofstars.substack.com Friends! Wow, here we are, at the threshold of the Solstice. The still point of the year. I feel the warmth of some ancient kind of hopefuless surrounding my hearth. Hoping that you feel the same burgeoning within you. I love, LOVE that we have a New Moon in Sagittarius ushering across this threshold. It feels so full of possibility, and the reminder to dare to DREAM. The New Moon peaks on Friday, December 19th at 8:43pm (eastern time!) I have been confronted by how much the stress + overwhelm of this past year has cut me off from possibility. In such a contracted state of scarcity, it is hard to imagine much beyond meeting basic needs. And, without the possibility of dreaming, we don’t allow ourselves to envision all that could be. This is the vision of Sagittarius. Arrows pointed skyward, we are invited to remember the technology of our imagination as essential for the world we wish to live into. This New Moon is ALL ABOUT it. Dreaming as an essential worldbuilding skill. I’m going to share a ritual this week that a friend reminded me of via Danica Boyce. I have practiced it within its more traditional Ancestral roots of Alpine + Germanic origin, the ritual of Rauhnächte, or 13 nights of wishes. I’ll share it here in a couple days for subscribers, and HIGHLY recommend using the evening of the New Moon to open that ritual dreaming!! <3 There are also plenty of Solstice Rituals from years past under the RITUALS tab on the Altar of Stars homepage! Enjoy my friends! & Blessed Yule! <3 As a gift to those that might want the full subscription to enjoy all the goodies here at the ALTAR OF STARS, here is a 20% off code until Solstice! THANKS!!

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 Oppression lives in each of our bodies in unique ways. Neptune softens the edges by reminding us that we are not alone against the world in all of this; there are greater forces participating, if we open ourselves to their heartening collaboration. Do not underestimate their quiet wisdom. This episode is juicy + FULL of hot takes, sorry not sorry. This is quite a moment. We have reached our boiling point, fed up + ready for change. No more sacrificing our precious sovereignty. The world needs us authentically ourselves, not diluted & dulled by stories of too-muchness. This is the work of true liberation, within. Your fear of disrupting the norm is the only thing standing in the way of the world you dream possible.

| ✧ Week Ahead ✧ Nov 23rd, 2025 - Sagittarius Szn ⁀➴ Channeled Reading! | 22 Nov 2025 | 00:44:17 | |
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 the most alchemical thresholds of the entire Zodiac. Here, we meet our full depth, only to then ask how it wants to move in the world. Heart-first, certainly. This week, we are edging towards that threshold at deepening levels. Venus is the main guide of the week ahead, as she moves through the last degrees of Scorpio and communes with many of the planets that were a part of last week’s New Moon. This often signals a time of integration, digesting the bigness that is likely still moving through our systems, like a snake digesting their recent meal. Be gentle with yourselves. My guides had a lot to say about the month ahead, so I’ll leave it to the podcast for those messages. Mucho amor to you all, beloved hearts. ANCESTOR CIRCLES / GROUP LINEAGE HEALING EXTRA Weekly Meeting times added! OPEN to join! 🕯️ Hey sweet ones — we have a few spaces left in the upcoming cohort of ancestor circles, beginning in December.
