228. Riding the Emotional Waves of TMT with Christine Gutierrez, Kate Eastridge, and Katrine Waugh
Moon to MoonShow Notes
In this conversation, Britten welcomes TMT 2025 alums Christine Gutierrez, Kate Eastridge, and Katrine Waugh to reflect on what it was like to ride the emotional waves of The Magician's Table through the lens of the Prince of Cups. Together, they share how they found the container, what they brought to practice, and what unfolded as they entered initiation weekend, navigated vulnerability, strengthened self-trust, and emerged with deeper confidence in their magic. This episode traces the arc of saying yes, being held, and carrying the medicine forward into the world.
Topics They Cover: How each of them found The Magician's Table: from podcast serendipity to repeated returns to the sales page to the quiet build-up of the idea that they can be a part of this bigger thing
What they brought to the container (mediumship, astrology, tarot) and how their practice evolved through consistent weekly readings and exchange
The initiation weekend experience and what it felt like to enter a structured, intimate space that is designed to hold you
The emotional rhythm of the container: nervousness, imposter feelings, surprise and delight, strengthening self-trust, and the feeling of time outside of time
The power of structure and community: being witnessed, building integrity, honing skills, and learning to hold space for others
What it felt like to close the container and why they'd say yes again (and encourage others to honor the pull if they feel it)

Drawn to stories that bend time such as Groundhog Day and Palm Springs or the sudden presence of an omniscient voice narrating one's life in Stranger Than Fiction. Kate seeks stories about awareness. About how one's perceptions might change when we shine a light on the cycle of what's happening right now.

In this episode of Moon to Moon, I'm joined by astrologer, herbalist, and teacher Cameron Allen for a rich conversation on the ethics of speaking astrology. We explore intellectual honesty, the relationship between astrological technique and embodiment, the consequences of our interpretations, and how shame can interfere with our capacity to speak, listen, and learn. Along the way, we talk about unshaming the signs, honoring the wholeness of the people we work with, and cultivating enough self-trust to experiment, disagree, and change our minds. What if being an ethical astrologer isn't a destination we arrive at, but a relationship we practice every day?
In this Dark Moon Download, Britten comes through with a message that arrived on a run, in honor of Venus retrograde in Scorpio: unpopular opinion, leave him. The "him" isn't necessarily your husband (although, maybe it is). It's the contracts, arrangements and agreements we've worked so hard to make work. Britten talks about what Venus is revealing right now, the grief of realizing how much of our lives has gone into trying to be good enough, and what she found on the other side of saying no in her own life. In this episode, Britten explores: Why she loves planets in detriment and fall, including Venus retrograde in Scorpio
In this episode, Britten is joined by S.J. Anderson, the astrologer who coined the term Barbault's Basket. S.J. takes us into the work of French mundane astrologer André Barbault, the rare convergence of outer planetary cycles, and the story of how a phrase from a tweet became one of the biggest astrological conversations of the summer. They also talk about what happens when astrological language takes on a life of its own, including the myths and misunderstandings that spread alongside the excitement. In this episode, they explore: What Barbault's Basket actually is, and why its planetary configuration is so unusual
What the fuck is a "pop astrologer," anyway? In this episode, Britten talks with Tasha Beg of The Pop Astrologist about the strange and slippery divide between "pop astrology" and "real astrology," and what that divide reveals about seriousness, legitimacy, visibility, business, and belonging inside the astrological community. At the center of the conversation is a larger question: why does astrology, a tradition that has itself so often been dismissed as unserious, sometimes seem to need an "unserious astrology" inside itself? Topics They Cover: What we actually mean when we call someone a "pop astrologer," and how many different assumptions get collapsed into that label.
In this episode, Britten is joined by Danielle Rothschild of Little Mystic School for a conversation about astrology, childhood, motherhood, and the experience of feeling different from other people. Danielle shares how astrology became a way of understanding herself and validating the things she already knew somewhere inside, and how that eventually led to the work she now does with parents and children. Topics They Cover: Danielle's experience of feeling different from her peers, moving throughout Europe as a child, and carrying a deep sense of loneliness and instability.
