✧ Week Ahead ✧ Oct 19th, 2025 - Libra New Moon + Scorpio Szn ♏︎˚☽
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit altarofstars.substack.com
My loves, I can’t believe we are already approaching the threshold of Scorpio season this week. We have another New Moon occuring at the crossroads, the day before the Sun enters a new sign territory. This happened in September with the Virgo New Moon / partial eclipse occuring the day before the Equinox!
This time, Sun + Moon meet at 28* of Libra, the day before Scorpio season begins. However the tone has changed, the story unfurls a new layer…
Persephone has spent the past month learning the terrain of the Underworld, landing after a process of descent. Now, somewhat familiar with the territory, she is presented with a choice. Hades offers her a pomegranate to satisfy her hunger, an extension of kindness in a moment of isolation. If Persephone accepts, knowingly becomes Queen of the Great Below.
In doing so, she must embrace her dual nature. She must turn towards herself fully, holding her grief as equally vital to her joy. For she knows, they belong to each other.
This, I feel, is the energy of the New Moon in Libra. On Tuesday Oct 21, at 8:25am EST, the luminaries conjoin in the very last degrees of Libra, in the 3rd decan. This territory corresponds to the 4 of Swords in the tarot. An image of rest, yes, but also one of intentional respite.
“Let yourself get still. Turn to face yourself fully.”
This is the message I’ve been hearing from my guides. Let the dust settle, so you may see yourself truly and honestly. Let the mind soften, so that you can drop into the waters of the heart. There is Truth, waiting for you, there. <3
The Third Decan of Libra reminds us that rest + stillness are VITAL parts of the decision making process. That if we only busy ourselves with constant action and doership, we do not actually allow for the truth of our Heart to be heard, and thus to guide us true. There are dreams, visions, and insights waiting for us in that inner sanctuary, but we must get still enough to listen.
It is challenging right now, to spend time in the heart. Overwhelming, to say the least. And, if we are only ever coasting on the surface, we have split ourselves into half-truth. We are fragmented, disembodied, cut off from the reality of BEING. The origin of truth lives in the heart. We must turn to face ourselves fully to see it. Persephone must accept the pomegranate to know herself as whole. Maiden of Light, Mother of Night.
Hold fast, my friends. The dark times were made for stories, song, and kinship.
To go in the dark with a light is to know the light.To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings…

Opportunities to deepen…
ANCESTOR CIRCLES / GROUP LINEAGE HEALING
APPLICATIONS for the Winter Cohort NOW OPEN!!!
If you’ve been wanting to connect directly with your own Ancestors as Council, come join us! We gather in support of community, and deepen into relationship with our Lineages. We bring healing + tending where it is needed, while also emphasizing reconnection with our ancestors as Kin + Council. Here’s what’s included;
* 1:1 private meeting with Teagan to understand your Ancestral landscape + identify which lineage you’re ready to deepen into connection with!
* 6 group calls, 2hrs each ~ December + January, deepening into the Lineage Healing process alongside community. Guided process + group integration.
The group container is a much more financially supportive option for the long-term commitment to this work, and has the benefit of learning from one another’s Ancestral histories as a way of weaving the larger web of relations!
Always sliding scale, suggested $250-450 for the entire journey. If you’ve already worked with me 1:1 in this work, you can skip the intro call and join the group tending sliding scale $175-333.
✧ MY BOOKS ARE OPEN FOR THE DARK MONTHS! ✧
I just updated my calendar through the turn of the Solstice, so if you’re interested in working together during this deeply spiritual time of year, the link is below!
All sessions are always sliding scale, and can either be live or asynchronous depending on the type of work you’re interested in. Obviously Astrology + Ancestral Lineage Healing are my bread n butter, but I also offer Oracular Divination & Ayurvedic Healing with a focus on Herbalism + Ritual praxis. Reach out with any questions you might have! I would be honored to work with you in real time !!
THAT’S ALL FOR NOW…
