In this conversation, Britten welcomes back astrologer Erin Kelley for her third solo appearance on Moon to Moon. They explore what Living Emergence means through the lens of devotion, acceptance, and being approachable to what's already present. Erin shares how emergence, for her, is about acknowledging and accepting what's here - whether that's an emotion, a truth, or a realization - and saying hello to it, no matter how she feels about it. The conversation weaves through themes of devotional practice, the relationship between divination and emergence, and how astrology can help us name and court the moment.
Topics They Cover:
How emergence means acknowledging what's present and becoming approachable to what's already here, rather than constantly seeking potential elsewhere
Devotion as a practice of showing up consistently, tending to what emerges, and building real relationship with the cosmos over time rather than love-bombing and burning out
Erin's Jupiter in Taurus and Venus in Sagittarius in mutual reception as her devotional signature, bridging heaven and earth through optimism and embodied presence
The Uranus transit to her chart ruler Jupiter and realizing not everyone needs liberation from hierarchical systems - her overflow of passion needed a different container
Why acceptance and surrender are skills that create space for co-creation with mystery, allowing something more magical than we could plan alone
How astrology and tarot reveal their secrets through sustained relationship, and why 5-10 minutes daily can create profound transformation over six months to a year
Erin emphasizes that devotion is about being in relationship with the world around us, and that astrology helps us give language to what's emergent and sing to the moment through naming it. She encourages listeners to start small with devotional practices, reminding them that time passes either way, and building real connection with the cosmos is more powerful than love-bombing a practice only to burn out and disappear.
