A Celestial Affair ✧ Help Me Write My Next Book
Journey behind the scenes with me this Summer!
I’m not going to lie to you – astrology used to overwhelm me.
In 2018, used to stare at my Magic of I planner wondering how I could ever memorize all these glyphs, these symbols, these correspondences.
Eight years later, understanding a birth chart feels as easy as breathing. I can jump into a client reading without notes, worry, or hesitation. But it wasn’t always this way.
My astrological journey has been influenced by so many bright minds, mentors, and thought leaders, but far and away, the most influential force in my journey with astrology has been my relationship to the celestial bodies themselves.
Because I am first and foremost an Animist Witch, my approach to astrology has always been steeped in the magickal and the mystical, with distinct reverence for our more-than-human allies on this living Earth and beyond it.
Instead of learning about Mercury as simply “the planet of communication,” I was immersing myself in the mythology of Hermes and the other messenger gods, making offerings at my altar, sitting in vigil with candles, going on expansive meditative journeys, and ultimately, I think, befriending these celestial bodies as the energetic entities that they are.
I finally feel like I’ve reached the place in my career where I can do more than just read your chart, or educate you on the basics of astrology:
What Pluto represents.
The frequency of Gemini.
How an opposition feels in the body.
The way a transit may show up in your life.
And take you beyond that, on a deep, inner exploration as a mirror to the cosmos, to the divine. To introduce you to these celestial deities in a way that creates a lasting bond. To guide you in opening intuitive dialogue with these cosmic archetypes that centers your innate wisdom and your intuition.
That’s what I hope to do with my next book, and why I’m inviting you to spend the summer with me for A CELESTIAL AFFAIR ✧
a series of 25 live + recorded meditations, one for each major planetary body + one for each Zodiac sign.
This journey is by donation, starting at just $1, but there are a handful of rewards you can unlock with your donation, such as:
⟢ A Digital, Advanced Copy of the Book
⟢ Paid Subscriptions to INNER ORBIT
⟢ Your Name thanked in the Acknowledgements
⟢ Enrollment in my Forthcoming Course
⟢ 1:1 Sessions with Me & More…
Beginning on June 14, first, we will meet each major celestial body, and then we will close our time together by journeying through the Zodiac.
If you’re feeling the call to join us, do not feel pressured to attend every single gathering live. You will receive the raw replay recordings within 24 business hours of the live call, and you will be the first to gain access to the polished Meditation Library once it is ready!
Now, you may be saying to yourself, why in the world would she offer this starting at just $1?!
The answer is multiple. First and foremost, I believe in accessibility. I don’t want a single person to be outside the gates if they desire to be on this journey with me.
Secondly, I thrive in communal accountability. I will be tracking my final writing deadlines to our gatherings, and in this way, you’ll be part of the process, supporting my deadline goals, AND receiving cosmic wisdom along the way.
But mainly, it’s because I want you to be there! Instead of recording these meditations alone in my studio, I want them to hold the quality of a collective field of being. I want them to be marked forever by the community we already have, here, together, now.
From the bottom of my heart, I hope you’ll join me for both A CELESTIAL AFFAIR, and tomorrow’s Astrology of June transmission.
Blessed Full Moon,
Auburn Lily
