In this Dark Moon download, Britten reflects on the closing edge of the lunar cycle that began on April 17 and the themes that have continued surfacing across her work, relationships, and inner life. Returning to the phrase "the matriarchy is already here," she explores the strange experience of finding language for something that was already alive in the body before it could fully be spoken. Through stories from recent conversations, client work, and her own unfolding process, she reflects on what it means to stop abandoning yourself in subtle, everyday ways, and how self-trust deepens through repeated acts of attunement over time.

Throughout the episode, Britten weaves together astrology, tarot, shame, and nervous system awareness to examine self-abandonment as both a personal wound and a collective pattern. She speaks about protectiveness, collapsed edges, obedience, and the ways people lose touch with their own authority in order to stay connected, safe, or approved of. Rather than framing healing as perfection, she returns again and again to the practice of staying with yourself. Listening, responding, updating in real time, and allowing your edges to become visible.

This episode ultimately becomes an exploration of repair: how we reclaim authority, rebuild trust with ourselves, and slowly learn to belong to our own lives again.

Mentioned: Scopes Unshamed is Britten LaRue's return to monthly horoscopes—shared by Rising Sign and rooted in astrology as a support technology for time, rather than a prediction machine.
