In this Dark Moon Download, Britten speaks from the dark moon in Cancer as the Moon moves toward her chart ruler, Mars in Cancer, and as she approaches her Mars return. What comes through is a meditation on power, leadership, and the malefics: Mars, Saturn, and the Sun. Topics She Covers: Why confronting our own power can feel complicated, especially when we are committed to not harming others with it.
Mars as the high sensation of truth, and the part of us that cuts through masks, pretenses, and the fear of being too honest.
Saturn as the container for time, focus, pressure, responsibility, and bringing a vision down to Earth.
The Sun as visibility, generosity from the heart, and the practice of sharing what you love without promoting from resentment or shame.
The difference between loving boundaries and walls around the heart.
The alchemy of Ablaze as a process of breaking down and building back up into a more potent version of yourself.
The investment we make when we give ourselves the coin for the ferryman and say yes to our own leap of trust.
Through the malefics, Britten explores the kind of leadership that can stay honest, heart-led, and boundaried while learning how to hold power, pressure, visibility, and the work we are here to steward.

More from Moon to Moon
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.
