Tune in for some thoughts on this gorgeous fresh start with the first of TWO new moons in Virgo this season. This one is a beaut, conjunct Regulus and not an eclipse, leaving room for some dreaming and some agency in how we want to renew the Virgo area of our lives.

In this episode, I reference Kira Ryberg’s Regulus episode on her Threads of Fate podcast. Highly recommend a listen for some inspiration and a fuller understanding of the potency of this new moon.

I also reference Sonia - Celestia Astrology ‘s Moon Family work to help identify the larger moon cycle kicking off here. You can find all of the handy dates in her graphic below.

I have some A Fire Within readings available over on my website, byjoveastrology.com. These are a perfect way to explore the upcoming darker half of the year through looking at the darker half of your chart! Pre-recorded and optimal for listening to wherever you are, whenever you want with no need to schedule. A magical, intuitive download from our guides to your ears.

Meditating with an auspicious new moon conjunct Jupiter just after their exalted cazimi.

TL;DL: I think the best thing we can do with this energy is plant seeds of peace and of a future where all beings can be safe, nourished, and free.

I am going live on IG (and YT for those not on IG) at 11 AM CST tomorrow, June 25th, to hold the door open for this future we can create together. Please join me in this (mostly silent) space for us to imagine and amplify our voices.

Another thing I am birthing into the world at the moment is my newest offering, A Fire Within Readings. I am still resonating deeply with this concept of our inner flame and how I can help others tap into theirs.I've honed this new creation over the past three months in my time in The Magician's Table (part of @brittenlarue 's school). During this time, it has morphed and woven itself into something so totally unique and magical.

Maybe my most mystical offering:You will receive a pre-recorded 30-minute reading exploring the depths of your birth chart. With help from both of our guides, this is an invitation to connect with your innermost self, the eternal flame inside, shining a light on portals of entry to an inner/other/underworld journey.Part channeling, part meditation, part traditional astrology reading, this offering will touch on topics that are core to your being and illuminate some of the less visible areas of life.🏮🔦🪔🕯🔥🏮🔦🪔🕯🔥🏮🔦🪔🕯🔥

In my new series, Drawing Down the Moon, I will be exploring all things lunar, starting with this Full Moon in Sagittarius just as we welcome Jupiter into Cancer.

In this episode, I share my inspiration for this new series, things I learned at NORWAC, specifically from the work shared by the inimitable Demetra George, and how the moon is helping to mediate the relationship between Saturn and Jupiter as this initial square between them perfects.

I reference Aglaonice of Thessaly, an astronomer from 2nd or 3rd Century BC Greece and one of the “women who draw down the moon”, as the earliest recorded predictor of eclipses.

I was finally struck with both inspiration and a free moment this morning to put together some thoughts for you on what 2025 may bring.

I want to give it to you straight — it’s a mixed year (at best), astrologically speaking. But Jupiter in Cancer is our silver lining, and I think the big takeaway for us will be a salve composed of radical self-care that inspires radical community care, anarchist nurturing of each other, and a protective layer around what really actually matters.

In this installment of The Astro Garden, I am excited to welcome one of my teachers and favorite astrologers, Britten LaRue.

We discuss her discovery of astrology at a time of great personal change, how she has evolved from student to professional to teacher, her experiences becoming an author, publisher of her own work, and someone whose work is published by a traditional publishing house, in addition to many other magical tidbits along the way.

ABOUT BRITTEN LARUE

Britten spends much of her time speaking and writing as a teacher, an author, and a professional astrologer. But she feels most powerful when she listens. In her work as an intuitive guide, she has built a powerful talent as a professional listener. Her clients seek out her skill as a spaceholder not to be told what to do or to be given answers, but to see their own wisdom reflected back to them. And as someone who has learned to trust in her own self-authority, she’d have it no other way. Britten’s deepest calling is to be a midwife for those in the process of birthing their own inner knowing, healing from shame, and learning to trust themselves again with the reckless freedom they deserve.

Find Britten’s work, including her courses, books, and 1:1 offerings at brittenlarue.com.

Registration has just opened for her inaugural cohort of Unshaming Your Chart, beginning December 18th! Across 8 sessions, Unshaming Your Chart opens the way for a relationship to your birth chart that’s liberated from the shame economy — I can personally attest to Britten’s “Unshaming” re-frame being an absolutely HUGE part of my growth the past few months — it is 100% worth checking this out if you are feeling drawn to it.

Britten also generously shares on her brilliant Instagram, @brittenlarue , as well as on one of my favorite astrology podcasts, Moon to Moon.

I hope this all finds you well in this soupy, swirly astrology we are currently in the thick of. If you’re getting seasick, just stick with us a little longer. The tides are turning.

Janessa
