    ✧ Week Ahead ✧ September 6th, 2026 ~ Virgo New Moon ♍︎⋆°✩

    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit altarofstars.substack.com Okay beloveds, this week welcomes our first Lunation out of Eclipse season. A moment of clarification, distillation, discerning what is most essential for us to take with us into the future of our path unfolding. The Virgo New Moon peaks on Thursday, September 10th at 11:27pm EST. This lunation is occuring at 18* of Virgo, in the second decan ruled by Venus. This is the work of the ancient priest who knows the importance of dying well. It is the honoring of life by way of honoring death. It is preparing to give ourself proper death rites, as a means of honoring everything that has led us to this moment — also knowing that we cannot take everything with us into the Great Below. It is Inanna removing a layer of her ceremonial garb as she makes her way through each of the seven gates, into the Great Below. It is a process of distilling the teachings down to their very essence. It is holding vigil, allowing the silence to speak multitudes. It is devotional presence as medicine. I’ll let the podcast speak for itself, enjoy the New Moon — ritual + tarot to come later this week. Much love, my friends. UPCOMING OFFERINGS… Venus Rx Preparations ~ September 11th, 2-4pm EST Join us in Ritual space to prepare the way for Venus’ descent into the Great Below. We will share astrological musings, a guided practice, and group ritual to create a charm that will carry us through the dark of Her retrograde cycle. All are welcome, sliding scale + NOTAFLOF. Register below for full details… + ANCESTRAL HEALING INTENSIVE + ROC NY For those of you interested in participating in an Ancestral Ritual together, we are hosting a 3-Day Intensive for Samhain weekend in Rochester NY! Spaces will fill fast, so I recommend registering as soon as possible. You can find the full details on my website below! Oct 30th - Nov 1st, 2026 in ROC NY! THANK YOU BELOVEDS! xoxo Teagan

    ✧ Week Ahead ✧ August 30th, 2026 ~ Eclipse Integration ⋅‧₊˚⋅

    Beloveds ~ I hope you all survived that Pisces Lunar Eclipse with ease — it brought such unexpected energy, I am still swirling in the wake of it all. I don’t have much to say this week beyond the usual, and have made this episode open for all to listen in the spirit of Eclipse Szn Aftercare Part Divination, part astrological insights as usual, the overarching themes of this week’s episode involved a lot of encouragement to take it slow + steady as we recalibrate ourselves in the wake of such transformative currents. In rest, we discover those hidden keys that await beneath waking consciousness. You’re all cordially invited to the season offerings below, one is just after the New Moon next week to honor Venus’ retrograde preparations! JOIN US! 𖥔 BOOKS OPEN 𖥔 Beloveds, I have opened my books for September + October. I am prioritizing Astrology + Ancestral Healing work nowadays, but also have some space for Oracular Divination and Folk Magick Consultations. Reach out to me directly with interest on the latter subjects. Astrology Readings + Ancestral Healing sessions can be booked via my Calendar link here; In regards to Oracular Divination, these are asynchronous readings sent to you as a voice recording, informed by whatever questions or context you share beforehand. I would consider this to be a cross between Mediumship and more undefined Oracular work, where the potential for Ancestors, Allies, Land Powers or other Spirits may come through to speak with you. These continue to be the most rich, powerful messages I have the privilege of participating in, and can only do a few a month due to the energy it requires. Lastly, this is the first time I am openly offering Folk Magick consultations beyond word-of-mouth connections. This can include a vast array of topics, but my focus is on Protection, Spirit Work, Land Healing, Ethical Love + Boundary Magick, Dreams and Ancestral Healing. The process looks like an initial consultation to discuss your desires, and workings on your behalf. Reach out with any questions or curiosities. UPCOMING OFFERINGS… Venus Rx Preparations ~ September 11th, 2-4pm EST Join us in Ritual space to prepare the way for Venus’ descent into the Great Below.

    ✧ Week Ahead ✧ August 24th, 2026 ~ Pisces Lunar Eclipse ⋅˚₊‧♓︎‧₊˚⋅𖥔

    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit altarofstars.substack.com Beloved ones, here we are now, crossing the threshold into the final phase of Eclipse season. How are you faring out there? Have you been utterly rearranged? Not quite sure which way is up yet? Good, stay with it. I personally feel really moved by how potent this Eclipse season has been, and continues to be. It feels as though we’ve been able to traverse multiple timelines within this soul’s journey, sift through the teachings of each and find our way into alignment with that which is most suited for the path ahead. I am traveling thru Salish Land / Washington State to visit one of my teachers for a week, and she said something yesterday that struck me; “When you receive a calling, you must follow it. And remember that when you receive the Call, nothing is never as it seems.” There is an immense wisdom AND courage required to follow this instinctual nature, to the point where we trust in it so deeply that we need not understand where it’s taking us. We simply follow it and trust the path ahead. I have been working quite a bit with this animal nature, the wolf-like being that resides within. The first chapters of Women Who Run With Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes feels like an extremely timing guide for these waters. In my experience, the wisdom of Pisces can guide us in this. The secret of this trust - or dare I say, faith - is an intimate understanding and EXPERIENCE of the interconnectedness of All Things. When we know in our bones that every movement on the path is in chorus with some greater pulse, as the beat of the World’s Heart, we find our place in the greater family of things with ease. We trust in endings and beginnings, that death is a doorway, and our felt sense of this continuity can guide beyond reason. That is Faith, to me. The Tarot Card that corresponds to the Decan where the Eclipse is occurring is the 8 of cups. The image itself feels entirely fitting to meditate on as we welcome the teachings of this final eclipse in Pisces… Enjoy, my friends. May you find the courage to trust yourself with bringing things to a close. We’ve been cycling through these teachings for 2 years now, it is time to move on. Let go ~ you are readier than you know. UPCOMING OFFERINGS… Venus Rx Preparations ~ September 11th, 2-4pm EST Join us in Ritual space to prepare the way for Venus’ descent into the Great Below. We will share astrological musings, a guided practice, and group ritual to create a charm that will carry us through the dark of Her retrograde cycle. All are welcome, sliding scale + NOTAFLOF.

    ✧ MEDITATION ✧ Energy Cultivation + Centering Practice

    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit altarofstars.substack.com Beloved ones, I hope you’re doing well out there, all things considered. The wake of the Eclipse left me ragged, in need of resource. I have been returning to drink from the well of the practices that nourish me, which has often looked like waking up before sunrise to sit and listen to the dawn chorus. Drinking Lotus tea, practicing subtle movements of Gong Fu, tracing the contours of my field in quiet contemplation. The animal body must move slowly to integrate the big changes that are here. The biggest message I received this past week was that with expansion comes equal + opposite contraction, and we must expand our capacity for the big energy that is taking root in our system. If our circuits are fried, that becomes nearly impossible to integrate. The technology of our animal body, the intelligence of this vessel, IS the container where any energetic change will occur. May we create the conditions for that to be enriching + deep. Our nervous system is the circuitry, and our mind is the tabula rasa. Regulating the animal body and clearing the mind are ways to prepare this vessel for whatever process is underway. So, I wanted to share a practice with you that I do every morning, to anchor this into my being. The recorded meditation is a foundational practice from a private cohort of beloveds who have undertaken the study of traditional witchcraft together. Another cohort will begin soon, applications are open. You can find the details below, and reach out with any questions or curiosities you might have. Much love as we prepare for next week’s eclipse in Pisces. Fair Winds, xx T

    ✧ Week Ahead ✧ August 16th, 2026 ~ Liminality Between Eclipses

    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit altarofstars.substack.com Beloveds, hello. I don’t know about you, but that Leo Solar Eclipse impressed me with its potency. We are in for some deep teachings in this year to come. May we meet the moment skillfully, and resource ourselves accordingly. These are exceptional times we’re living through, there’s not doubt about that. This week, I wanted to offer more of a divinatory temperature check on this very liminal time between Eclipses. I know better than to force clarity, or pretend as though I have anything novel to say, as I am very much in the thick of it with you. And so I share here what my guides have shared with me, reminders more than directives. A sense of perspective. I will let the episode speak for itself. If you’re new here, welcome — I share these weekly podcasts with patrons, and an occasional monthly reading that is open to all subscribers. I so appreciate your presence here! UPCOMING OFFERINGS… Venus Rx Preparations ~ September 11th, 2-4pm EST Join us in Ritual space to prepare the way for Venus’ descent into the Great Below.

    ✧ Week Ahead ✧ August 9th, 2026 ~ Solar Eclipse in Leo ❤️‍🔥

    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit altarofstars.substack.com Friends, our first Eclipse of the season arrives this week. There has been much hullabaloo about this one, it is a big moment indeed. Nothing is as it seems; may we take time to drop into the Deep Self, to hear it speak. My guides unexpectedly had a LOT to say about this one, so it turned into mostly a live oracular divination / trance speech, which felt like a nice surprise. They mostly speak in symbol + poetry, so I hope it makes some sense. Try not to think too hard about it, intellectually at least ;) The eclipse occurs on Wednesday, August 12th at 1:45pm EST ~ a Solar Eclipse in Leo. I’ll let the episode speak for itself; enjoy, friends. If you’re curious about where this energy activates your chart, you can find the Rising Sign invocations HERE: Here are the upcoming offerings I mentioned at the beginning of the episode, keep an eye out for the Venus Ritual in September too!

    ✧ Week Ahead ✧ July 26th, 2026 ~ Aquarius/Leo Nodal Shift + Full Moon!

    Wow friends, recording this episode was a feat in and of itself! SUCH big Astrology awaits us this week, a continuum of energy as we integrate Barbault’s Basket. I’m releasing this a few days early so folks can be present with the big shifts as they roll in! I’m going to let the episode speak for itself for the most part, but here’s the cliffnotes: SUNDAY July 26th: The North + South Node back up into the Aquarius/Leo Axis. This sets the stage for the karmic conditions in our collective consciousness in a big way, activating an entire new realm of Eclipse Season themes. TUESDAY July 28th: Venus in Virgo squares Mars in Gemini, both ruled by Mercury who has just stationed direct in Cancer. This feels like a course correction that might come by way of friction/tension. Stay with the discomfort and try to notice where it’s an invitation for much needed change WEDNESDAY July 29th: FULL MOON in Aquarius + Jupiter Cazimi in Leo! * The Sun will be conjunct Jupiter in Leo at 6*, the Moon on the opposite side of the sky conjunct Pluto in Aquarius. This is a stand off, illuminating dynamics of power as they function within + without in our collective + individual psyche. The Full Moon peaks at 10:36am EST on Wed. July 29th! It is also our last Lunation before we officially enter Eclipse season. Ritual + Tarot to come this week in preparation! PS: if you’re interested in an Eclipse Season Reading (asynchronous) shoot me a message, I’ll be offering limited spaces for them this year! Lastly, I just opened availability in August/September for 1:1 sessions ~ Ancestral Lineage Healing, Astrological Readings + Oracular Divination… Also, if you’re interested in hearing my retelling of the Samudra Manthan where we see the origin of Rahu/Ketu (North + South Node) in the Vedic Mythology, you can find it here; This is a public episode.
