Moon to Moon

What if the zodiac is telling us a story about the end of the world? And what if grief is one of the most important forms of intelligence we have?
This week on Moon to Moon, I'm joined by astrologer shayde, who has developed a fascinating new way of understanding Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces: as the signs that know what it takes to survive the end of a world.
He calls them the Signs for the End of the World.
Together, we journey through the zodiac as a story of death, rebirth, sacrifice, and the extraordinary things we do to preserve life. Along the way, we explore why these signs are so often misunderstood, and what happens when we begin to see their struggles as inseparable from their gifts.
In this conversation, we explore:
Why Scorpio knows the world is ending before anyone else

Sagittarius and the strange grief of being reborn into a dying world

Capricorn, the burden of responsibility, and the longing to finally rest

Aquarius and the possibility that emotional distance is an expression of love

Pisces, the great dissolve, and the necessity of letting things end

Why grief changes our experience of time

What The Lord of the Rings can teach us about sacrifice, survival, and the end of worlds

Why melancholy might be ancient wisdom rather than something we need to overcome

How understanding these signs can change our relationship with the parts of ourselves we've been taught to shame

This is a conversation for anyone who has ever felt unusually close to grief, who has lived through the end of a world, or who suspects that their greatest gifts might be hidden inside the things they've struggled to accept about themselves.

What if Emergence Astrology has been Underworld Astrology all along?
In this Dark Moon Download, I'm taking you into the Underworld—a territory I've been studying, teaching, and finding my way through for much of my life.
Inspired by the myth of Inanna's descent, the katabatic tradition, Martin Shaw, Alice in Wonderland, and the deliciously absurd bureaucracy of Beetlejuice, I've created A Field Guide for Emergence: seven encounters with the strange intelligence of the Underworld.
Together, we explore the seven traditional planets as guides through disorientation, the limits of competence, accountability without shame, the fantasy of potential, the paradox of love and desire, spectacular grief, and the audacity of imagining that we know how our stories end.
Along the way, I share my own relationship with death, descent, and the parts of ourselves that remain in the Underworld. We visit Inanna and Ereshkigal, consider what it means to be accompanied rather than fixed, and discover why grief and wonder must sometimes occupy the very same moment.
I also explore the unexpected relationship between Underworld intelligence and Astral Promotion: how loosening the grip of shame-based imagination changes what's possible when we bring our dreams into contact with the world.

What if your desires could lead you somewhere beyond anything your current self is capable of imagining?
This week on Moon to Moon, I'm joined by the extraordinary Contessa Domenica: professional dominatrix, artist, philosopher, and creator of Sex, Death, and Olive Oil.
After a dark night of the soul that led her to leave her relationship, her corporate career, and London itself, Contessa Domenica began following a mysterious intuition that sexuality might be the doorway to reclaiming herself. What began as an exploration of boundaries, pleasure, and desire became a spiritual path, and eventually an entirely new life.
In this conversation, we explore:
The origin story of Contessa Domenica and the magic of naming yourself

BDSM as a transformational technology for exploring power, shame, desire, and the disallowed parts of ourselves

Why consent, boundaries, and clear communication make extraordinary experiences possible

The dominatrix as trickster, artist, and guide to the Underworld

Endarkenment and the invitation to encounter the dark forest of our interior lives

Her immersive sonic project, Sex, Death, and Olive Oil

Why following what delights you might take you beyond anything you could have manifested

This is a conversation about becoming someone you couldn't have imagined being, about discovering permission where you've been taught to feel shame, and about the courage required to follow what makes you feel alive.
 
About Contessa Domenica:
Contessa Domenica is a professional Dominatrix and trickster-philosopher. 
In her dungeon, erotic power play is a technology of transformation that dissolves stagnant stories about who we are and what we're supposed to enjoy. It's soul-making for deviants...and the deviant-curious. 
She reckons the whole culture could use some time in the dungeon. That's why she created Sex, Death & Olive Oil, an immersive sonic journey into the parts of ourselves we've been told are too dark and dangerous to ever acknowledge, let alone explore. Turns out, that's where the party is.
The first episode, Ecstasy, is out now.

In this episode of Moon to Moon, I'm joined by astrologer, herbalist, and teacher Cameron Allen for a rich conversation on the ethics of speaking astrology.
We explore intellectual honesty, the relationship between astrological technique and embodiment, the consequences of our interpretations, and how shame can interfere with our capacity to speak, listen, and learn.
Along the way, we talk about unshaming the signs, honoring the wholeness of the people we work with, and cultivating enough self-trust to experiment, disagree, and change our minds.
What if being an ethical astrologer isn't a destination we arrive at, but a relationship we practice every day?
 
About Cameron Allen:
Cameron is an herbalist & astrologer that sits at the crossroads of Medical, Traditional, and Evolutionary astrology. He synthesizes wisdom from his training in Ayurveda, Kundalini yoga, & mixed movement arts, holds degrees in Health & Sports science and Psychology with a focus on Sports & Exercise psychology, and is currently in school for Greco-Arabic Medicine.

In this Dark Moon Download, Britten comes through with a message that arrived on a run, in honor of Venus retrograde in Scorpio: unpopular opinion, leave him.
The "him" isn't necessarily your husband (although, maybe it is). It's the contracts, arrangements and agreements we've worked so hard to make work.
Britten talks about what Venus is revealing right now, the grief of realizing how much of our lives has gone into trying to be good enough, and what she found on the other side of saying no in her own life.
In this episode, Britten explores:
Why she loves planets in detriment and fall, including Venus retrograde in Scorpio

What's being revealed underneath the polite rituals of respectability

Why believing it's our fault can feel easier than seeing what's true

What "him" really means, and why it doesn't have to be a person

The grief of becoming extraordinarily competent at arrangements that disempower us

What it tells us when naming things doesn't lead to change

The 7 of Cups, meeting Venus at the gates, and the underworld journey of this retrograde

Venus meeting the Sun at 0 Scorpio and heading back to Libra, the land of contracts

How shame erodes self-trust, and why your knowing is enough

When contracts want updates, and when they want to be snipped up and burned

What Britten calls an Emergent No, and the grief and creation that follow it

What Britten left at 39, and the part of her that showed up to take it from there

Underneath it all is the question Venus is asking each of us: is this the contract I want to keep agreeing to?
