THE SHADOW MONTHS
Live Astrology Mentorship Cohort
This Study is an invitation to come into relationship with the Living World, through the lens of our Astrological Praxis. Following the tidal rhythms of the Moon, we gather in Ritual Space from Equinox to Equinox, to behold the immaculate design of Celestial Bodies in Orbit.
Equal parts rigorous study and direct gnosis, together we learn the work of the Astrologer as the Ancient Art of Celestial Divination. Through Guided Practices, Live Teachings, Communal Wisdom and Chart Interpretation, each class offers a holistic approach to developing an embodied praxis as Astrologers.
ALL STUDENTS will receive immediate, lifetime access to the Online Course Library, which serves as the Foundational Teachings from which we build over the course of the Live Mentorship Cohort itself.
PILLARS OF PRAXIS
ANIMISM
We remember the Ancient Roots of Astrology as a study born of a constant dialogue between Earth + Sky. Through observing the patterns of Creation, we connect with the Animate Field where these rhythms invite us into their dance. As Above, So Below; Earth is the Altar around which these cycles shape our meaning-making. This is the Language of the Living World; together we remember how to listen to this Music of the Spheres, with the Planetary Ancestors as our Guides.
ANCESTORS
Our own Peoples have been in constant relationship with the Night Sky since time immemorial. Their own Stories, Cosmologies, and Ritual Lifeways were shaped by the Stars. Through this journey we will welcome in the Wisdom of our Ancestors, to understand how they related to the celestial intelligence of planetary forces. We will learn how to listen to the Planets themselves as Elder Powers, whose wisdom shapes the animate field through our embodied experience.
CULTURE WORK
Astrology carries a deeply colonized past, as a framework that was wielded + manipulated to serve the agendas of the Ruling Class. The tradition as we inherited today is still meyered in this history, very much in need of careful examination. This agenda lives deep on our bodies and collective psyche, influencing our interpretations by perpetuating oppressive patterns. Together we will intentionally excavate the Colonial Shadows of this framework, to liberate our interpretations and transform the narratives we center in our craft.
GNOSIS
Beyond rigorous study, the true Art of Celestial Divination begins with direct, embodied experience. Each time we gather, we will hone our ritual skills and attune our senses to the unique transmission of each Celestial Body. This is where we discover our gifts as Diviners, and the individual relationships each of us carry with the Planetary Powers. We are Learning how to Listen, through centering the intelligence of the Body and restoring the authority of our own inner wisdom.
Biweekly on Venus’ Day (Fridays), we will gather in circle from 11am-1pm EST (tentative schedule, based on group availability). This will follow the New + Full Moon cycles, to attune our teachings to the rhythm of each Zodiacal Axis + corresponding Planetary Ruler.
Each meeting will involve live teachings, guided practices, group chart interpretation, and time for questions. Live Attendance is necessary.
We will begin in September with preliminary divination skills + ancestral connection. Our Astrological study will begin at the Autumn Equinox*.
*It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to spend time with the Online Course Library Teachings before we begin our Live Mentorship Meetings, as we will build from the foundational teachings as a group. Especially if you are new to Astrology, the Course Library will support your study immensely!
THE SCHEDULE
In addition to our Biweekly meetings, there will also be workshops that dive deeper into the intricacies of chart interpretation, to apply our study into praxis. These will include lessons on Aspects, Rulership, Transits + Returns, Dignities, Planetary Magick and Medical Astrology.
If you are completely new to Astrology or a versed student, this study will meet you where you’re at.
Students that have moved through the 6 month container will be offered the opportunity to continue their study in a biweekly ongoing Intermediate/Advanced Level Chart Reading Cohort, for alumni of the Mentorship group seeking to hone their skills of interpretation.
Scholarships are always available ~ reach out to Teagan at thealtar.healing@gmail.com
MENTORSHIP TESTIMONIALS

What a gift to be able to learn from Teagan! I went in with the simple intention of acquiring more knowledge- but her beautiful animist & ritual approach cracked open an embodied resonance far beyond my expectations. I’ve gained such a deeper understanding of myself and the weaving of the world around me. The container she holds with the shared community is so comfortable and welcoming to all levels of prior knowledge. Beyond grateful for this opportunity and all of the beautiful friends I’ve connected with through this!

Joining Oracles in Orbit deepened my relationship to astrology in a way I'd been longing to for years. By way of ritual and structure it turned my love & curiosity for all things Astro into a daily practice. Journeying with like minded community (who I now consider friends) added depth, real life understanding and perspective I wouldn't have gotten on my own! On top of Teagan's layered learning strategy, meeting together under the new & full moons' energies creates a felt experience to assist with the integration of knowledge. THIS IS NOT POP CULTURE ASTROLOGY, it's learning how it lives in our bones & shapes our lives/histories, and how it can be a tender, authentic way of exploration & healing. Beyond grateful for the safe container to be a student!
