In episode 8, Aurelia and Brittany take a deep dive into their astrology chart by conversing about their sun, moon, and rising signs. Plus, lean into destigmatizing our connection to astrology as clergywomen.

To kickstart our roundup conversation (0:40), we’re talking about our favorite pop culture topics of the week. Brittany is watching The Nevers, Legendary & Pose. Aurelia is reading Untamed by Glennon Doyle, which inspired her to lean into ease & being her full self as she writes her book, A Brown Girl’s Epiphany.

In the essentials (6:52), we name the ways we’re caring for ourselves before jumping into our main conversation. As we move into naming our sun, moon, and rising signs, we recognize the ways we connect to astrology now and what we thought or knew about it growing up (13:36). We speak about the rhythm of the lunar cycle and how Brittany has created full moon blessings on her patreon that help us tap into its power, even more.

Brittany and Aurelia share each other’s natal chart and invite listeners to read their chart too by going to cafeastrology.com or costarastrology.com.

In this week’s shoutouts we discuss the mantra: give yourself permission (40:24). CommuniTEA question: what do you need to give yourself permission to do today or this week? We highlight Joyce’s response, “I give myself permission to be angry, knowing it is meant for protection of myself and those I love...”; and Naomi said “today I give myself permission to not cook dinner and order food delivery...and nap while my kids watch a show.”
