Gemini Season 2026: A New Format and a Season Full of Electricity

Emergent Magic with Britten LaRue

In this episode of Living the Spiral: Magicians, your host Alison Dale interviews astrologer and community builder Britten LaRue. She's the creator of Emergence Astrology, author of the book Living Astrology, and host of Moon to Moon podcast. Alison and Britten chat about magic as change and the willingness to be moved by it. They discuss skill as a Saturnian devotional practice developed over time, “voice” as the sum of our choices and boundaries, and one of Britten’s guiding phrases, “there’s no such thing as potential, there’s only emergence,” as an antidote to shame and striving. The conversation contrasts astrology as a living language with predictive approaches, distinguishes divination from fortune-telling, and connects desire, unshaming, and self-trust to magical practice. Britten shares her path from academia to astrology after a mystical period of intuition and lunar guidance, and she describes restructuring her offerings, clarifying Living Emergence as a community space and Emergence Astrology Pathway as a multi-year school. About Britten LaRue Britten LaRue is a recovering academic who now teaches, writes, and offers transformational readings from a place of sacred unknowing. She is the creator of Emergence Astrology, the author of Living Astrology, and the host of the Moon to Moon podcast.

Ancestral Magic with Rachel Simon Stark

In this Living the Spiral: Magicians episode, host Alison Dale frames magic as making the invisible visible through attention and intention. She interviews Rachel Simon Stark, founder of Widening Circles Collaborative, about ancestral reclamation, cultural repair, and collective liberation. Rachel describes being contacted in 2018 by her grandmother Ruth during a rock-bottom period, which initiated Rachel’s ancestral work and led to her nine-week course Cultivating Culture that emphasizes grounding, guided tools, community processing, and service. Drawing on urban planning’s focus on belonging, Rilke’s “Widening Circles,” and identity as a fluid river, she discusses chosen ancestors, more-than-human ancestors, boundaries rather than walls, and meeting ancestors in their wholeness. The conversation addresses trauma, shame vs humility, colonialism and indigeneity, being future ancestors, releasing victimization into agency, and Rachel’s plan to offer the course again around October/Samhain.Thanks for tuning in!

Medusa, Chiron & the New Moon in Taurus

Hey friends, happy New Moon in Taurus. We’re 2 weeks out from that potent full moon in Scorpio… how are you all doing out there? How did that lunation show up for you? This new moon is conjunct the Medusa Star and happens on the same day that Mars meets Chiron. So while it’s not necessarily gentle, it’s still exalted in Taurus, and the gate that it’s falling in is a deep reminder of the power of our personal agency, care, and contributions. Thanks for liking, sharing, and reviewing Living the Spiral- it truly helps me to reach more people and continue writing and recording this labor of love.
