Moon to Moon

In this conversation, Britten welcomes back astrologer Erin Kelley for her third solo appearance on Moon to Moon. They explore what Living Emergence means through the lens of devotion, acceptance, and being approachable to what's already present. Erin shares how emergence, for her, is about acknowledging and accepting what's here - whether that's an emotion, a truth, or a realization - and saying hello to it, no matter how she feels about it. The conversation weaves through themes of devotional practice, the relationship between divination and emergence, and how astrology can help us name and court the moment.   Topics They Cover: How emergence means acknowledging what's present and becoming approachable to what's already here, rather than constantly seeking potential elsewhere Devotion as a practice of showing up consistently, tending to what emerges, and building real relationship with the cosmos over time rather than love-bombing and burning out Erin's Jupiter in Taurus and Venus in Sagittarius in mutual reception as her devotional signature, bridging heaven and earth through optimism and embodied presence The Uranus transit to her chart ruler Jupiter and realizing not everyone needs liberation from hierarchical systems - her overflow of passion needed a different container Why acceptance and surrender are skills that create space for co-creation with mystery, allowing something more magical than we could plan alone How astrology and tarot reveal their secrets through sustained relationship, and why 5-10 minutes daily can create profound transformation over six months to a year   Erin emphasizes that devotion is about being in relationship with the world around us, and that astrology helps us give language to what's emergent and sing to the moment through naming it. She encourages listeners to start small with devotional practices, reminding them that time passes either way, and building real connection with the cosmos is more powerful than love-bombing a practice only to burn out and disappear.   Learn More:  Erin Kelley is a writer, devotional astrologer, and esoteric strategist with a feral heart.

In this Dark Moon download, Britten offers a collective tarot reading under the Dark Scorpio Moon, reflecting on the lunar cycle that began on November 20th at 28 degrees of Scorpio. She explores the themes that have been alive during this cycle: navigating dichotomies, polarities, and paradoxes in the human experience.  Britten shares how this lunar cycle has brought up the tension between abundance and scarcity, feasting and fasting, expansion and contraction, and the challenge of holding these oppositions without becoming paralyzed by confusion. She emphasizes that one of the gifts of this time is learning to hold ourselves through uncertainty and to trust the process, even when we don't have all the answers.

In this solo episode, Britten continues her "Chapters of My Career" series, sharing the pivotal year when shame became central to her work and the word "unshaming" emerged as the name for what she'd been doing all along. This installment explores the period from Spring 2022 through early 2023, a time of deep personal transformation, relationship repair, and the crystallization of her signature teaching approach. She explains that one of shame's most powerful spells is that we don't recognize it as such - we think it's just who we are, rather than something that came from outside and isn't native to our being.   Topics She Explores: The seven-year Saturn cycle in her business and how her 3-5 Human Design profile shapes her experiential learning and teaching voice A transformative mushroom journey that revealed codependency patterns, the teaching that everyone is on their own trip, and that she's resisting being special because she doesn't want people to be sad Learning to navigate shame spirals in her relationship and discovering how shame was showing up in her parenting Taking The Shame Clinic with Simone Seol and David Bedrick in Fall 2022, where she first encountered the word "unshaming" The disappointment when Astrology as Praxis enrollment was lower than expected, and how that contraction taught her to return to why she truly wants to create Leading her first Unshaming the Signs workshop in February 2023 with her astrology students, and the birth of what would become Unshaming Your Chart   Britten closes by inviting listeners to join Unshaming Your Chart, which returns December 17th as a two-month offering inside Living Emergence. The class includes a face-melting initiation, a bank of pre-recorded teachings on Unshaming the Signs, Houses, and Planets, and meetups in January and February. She emphasizes that while the topic is shame, the experience is playful and fun - because laughter alchemizes and helps us stay real, vulnerable, and spacious as humans learning to be here.   +++   Britten's course Unshaming Your Chart begins December 17th inside Living Emergence.

In this conversation, Britten welcomes back Suprasensory Shahir for their third appearance on Moon to Moon to explore Living Emergence as a relationship to divination and omens. Recording during Mercury's helical rising - when Mercury becomes visible in the pre-dawn sky after its retrograde - they discuss how omens are messages rising and becoming visible, and how divination serves as a practice of aligned action that calls forth the spirit.   Topics They Cover: Living Emergence as aligned action that calls forth the spirit, with messages rising and becoming visible Mercury as the lord of divination and the significance of its current helical rising How dream divination guided major life decisions, from choosing graduate schools to adopting Britten's dog The Three Graces story: how omens can simmer and reveal themselves across time through multiple channels Navigating the cultural baggage around the word "omen" and why it often conjures fear rather than curiosity The difference between literal and obscure omens, and how they ask us to connect dots or revisit them in hindsight Sagittarius energy and the balance between the human self making "good choices" and the beast self trusting instinct Why shame blocks Living Emergence and how omens help us cut through the heaviness of infinite choice The Eight of Wands as the swiftness of Mercury in Sagittarius How cultivating trust in divination is a process of becoming more fluent and masterful over time Staying with your own omens rather than getting lost in comparison with others' paths The upcoming Oh My Omens! workshop on December 14th in Living Emergence   Shahir emphasizes that omens are a form of preparation and attunement to natural rhythms, like ancient Egyptians reading the helical rising of Sirius to predict the Nile's flooding. They describe their role as an omen translator who helps people navigate difficult transits and challenging cards not by abandoning them in the desert, but by offering multiple perspectives and helping them trust their own agency to work with what arises. This conversation celebrates divination as one of the most direct ways to interface with a magical life, where we write our own stories in conversation with the Universe.   Learn More: Suprasensory Shahir (they/he) is a love devotee mystic who shows up as an astrologer of the moment & diviner of the future.

In this Dark Moon download, Britten reflects on the lunar cycle that began at the New Moon in Libra and is now completing just before the New Moon in Scorpio on November 20th. She explores the archetype of the ferryman, a figure who guides travelers across waters to unknown shores, and how this image has appeared repeatedly in her tarot readings as the Six of Swords, revealing her role as a guide and container-holder.   Topics She Covers: The Six of Swords and Six of Cups: being a ferryman who guides people to unknown shores and a fountain of resources for transformation Trust as the currency (aka: the coin that allows passage on the boat) and why transformational containers require serious trust for alchemy to happen Teaching the ferryman song from her daughters' Swedish immersion camp and how the zodiac transmissions are the essential songs she sings in Living Emergence The Nine Boredoms of the Rightful Baddie as nine forms of permission inspired by the Vasilisa fairy tale and the journey to meet Baba Yaga How grief is essential to giving yourself permission, and why growing up means becoming bored with consensus reality's illusions Creating delusional spaces for delusional dreams, where the circle of animals (the zodiac) helps us see parts of ourselves that want our attention   Britten emphasizes that her work is about supporting you in trusting your capacity to be creators for this world. To show up more loudly, clearly, and magnificently in your unique creativity. Living Emergence is designed as a living, breathing world held by the wheel of the year, where you can stay for as long as it's nourishing you, moving through all twelve signs in a cyclical process of revelation and transformation.   +++ Join The 9 Boredoms of the Rightful Baddie mini-course - it''s FREE!
