It's happening! It's time to sign up and get in on the first month of astrology support before we close the first gate on August 6th.
This last week of July we're beginning our intake sessions! Meet one on one with Amy and Alex to share your priorities, your goals, your struggles, your projects, and your special interests.
This program is stacked with interaction, support & learning. A buffet! Join the spaces you're into, leave alone the ones you're not. This is a whole ecosystem of different supports.
One on one check-ins 2x/month for individualized support work, tutoring, birth chart placement studies - you're all different people with different needs, stories and learning styles.
Venus Group every week - mini-workshops to keep you tuned in & actively navigating your day to day process with all the support of the Venus cycle
Monthly Guest Speakers - Pallas Augustine kicks this series off with an interactive workshop on working with your IC on August 29th!
Storylines, Threads & Cycles - the astrology of world events and movements. The historical timeline of overlapping cycles is a tool for vivid context, guidance, and planning - mapping paths towards safety and support for community during the collapse of empire. Submit topics, events, campaigns, & movements you want astrological timelines for. Last year's topics - Stop Cop City, Atlanta; Wabanaki Nations vs the State of Maine; Juniper Ridge Landfill resistance; the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant risk assessments, and others.

Astrology Student Corner and Mercury Through the Bounds for astrology students looking to advance their own chart reading skills and techniques
Whew! All live spaces are recorded and you do not need to attend all the time. Who could?! These spaces are ABUNDANT to keep our Living Workshop lively. Drop in as needed or wanted. We're here to put your primary concerns into immediate informed context.
Have you caught yourself feeling anxious about the upcoming Mars and Venus retrogrades? Or to put it another way, are you wrestling with how the accelerating tensions of the world could interrupt or disorganize your efforts to make it better?
Steering by Starlight is a refuge and gives you access to a powerful set of tools towards better outcomes.
This is a month by month journey through your own life with engaging and supportive astrology. One on one support is built into this structure for less investment than a single private reading each month. We want you change-makers and harm interrupters to have access to these tools!
The storylines of 2024 bring shapes that beg for support and endurance.
Give yourself a steady way to put events and timelines in context, to process them, and to have a constant reminder: the world weaves with you, and you are woven into the world. Get in! Are you trying hard to make a world with more inclusive care and want a road map specific to you and your community??
That's exactly what we love to use these tools for.
Planetary cycles help us make sense of the way that past stories relate to current ones. Our actions in the world DO feel more connected and grounded when we understand our own timelines.
Each of us contain this whole cycle of Venus in our inner worlds. We were born at a certain point in its unfolding and are tied to that point. We also see avatars of Venus in the external world.
As teachers, we won't try to get you to vote for someone particular or show up to demonstrations or to believe certain things. While we are deeply progressive and abolitionist in our biases and actions, that position stems from a place of care for you as individuals. We want you to be you. You are the expert on your own lives. And we want to teach you the kind of astrology that connects you more and more with your authenticity. Not ours. Yours.
Venus knows how to chart the path. Even without ritual, the study of Venus is a devotion. Work with us to keep pace with how she weaves the threads of time. This program will ground you in your co-creation with the world, both inside and out.
Seven Gates. Seven Months.
LIVING WORKSHOP
the Evening Star Venus phase
charting your path with advanced astrological support
When we put literal thread through cloth, we're doing Venus devotion. Mending, embroidering, and adorning the world around us is a powerful Venusian act. Symbolically, this is her action.
Venus is the archetype we associate with all arts, weaving and mending in particular. But the real stunner is that she does this stitching action with time, too. Time is her canvas. Our attachments are her medium. And yes, she's very, very good at what she does.
Venus is all about co-creation with the world, and that's our take on astrology, too. We're here to outline patterns and get grounded in the work that you're presently sitting with.
Are you working a day job that feels unaligned with the direction you thought you'd take in life? Are you putting so much effort into community care that you have little left for the other things you need to do? Are you going through a time of transition like the beginning or end of a relationship?
Venus can help us look to the storylines we've already lived through and locate ourselves in the arc of the present as it's unfolding. With astrology, we see the sources of life's many pressures clearly described in your chart. We're able to make predictions about how long each conundrum lasts, but more importantly, we're there every week to puzzle through immediate events with you.
The groups we've hosted through CBJ have been a comfort, a support, and a learning space. We are so grateful to the co-creating you've all done with us. And some of you kept working with us for the whole last year! Thank you!
“What is most helpful, and often astounding to me, is the way our astrological work together can situate a miniature drama playing out in my day to day life inside of a much larger cosmic and spiritual framework. It helps me relax and reorient to the particulars, knowing that I have a greater purpose and a longer story.”
Autumn Brown, How to Survive the End of the World Pod
A visible Evening Star Venus reaches and learns in ways that turn joy, pleasure, rites and creativity into top priorities. The journey itself is important. Let's ensure we're giving Venus enough space in our life so she can work her magic.
We've outlined the spaces and perks above, but if you haven't worked with Alex Faune before… well, there's a whole world of other skills he brings to the table. Like being a decan-speaker. Like dreamwork. iykyk
A sliding scale of mutual support
Sign up for the option that best describes your current financial circumstance. Each payment option below offers the exact same level of participation and individual astrological care.
✾ ✾ ✾
Choose EARTH if you have no savings and cannot afford time off from work. This tier is priced lower than we can sustain for every member, so your honesty is important. SUN signups directly support our ability to offer this EARTH option.
If $65/month would be financially destabilizing, please don't risk it.
Our more economically secure STAR signups will sponsor an unknown number of others. I will offer these price adjusted slots tothe Supported Starlight waiting list as they become available, so definitely add your name!
Choose VENUS if you have income and can generally meet your basic needs at this time.
If you can meet your needs but have no savings, please choose EARTH. If you currently have 6 months of basic living expenses available to you, please choose SUN or STAR.
Choose STAR if you have income and savings and enough expendable income to afford small monthly luxury items and events without stress.
For less than the cost of a single astrology reading with me, you can fund your personal access and sponsor another learner at the same time who would otherwise not afford to be here. Thank you!
Want to give more support? Love what we're doing? Understand that we're offering SO MUCH at a truly excellent value?? Want to brighten the lives of folks who are trying everything they can to make their lives and the world better? Know that low income people also deserve access to powerful tools and wonderful transformative programs that connect them to cycles outside of the destructive reach of the oppressive systems of our current moment???
