HOLY POWER: UNBINDING VENUS
A 7 class Venus Retrograde shadow journey to reclaim trust in your desire worth & pleasure.
UNDERSTAND AND UNBIND THE ASTROLOGICAL KARMIC CONTRACTS MADE WITH VENUS OVER LIFETIMES TO FEEL MORE FREEDOM, PLEASURE AND EMBODIMENT
7 CLASSES: OCTOBER 13-NOVEMBER 20
astrological lecture to deepen your understanding of venus as an archetype, your personal placement, the current venus retrograde in scorpio and libra, and the material, energetic and systemic malevolence of binding contracts with pluto, saturn, mars, neptune and uranus. Understand the positive frequency of the planets as benevolent divine protectors & guides and begin to forge a personal relationship with them to support your highest timeline and the collective well-being.
kundalini movement and breathwork to support embodiment and energy integration—there will be times we’ll sit and take notes, and there will be times to receive the information deep in your psyche. Breathing and moving while listening to astrological lecture can support you in understanding on a body and energy level how you relate to the information, and integrate it more thoroughly.
guided meditations and energy work to reweave your relationship with venus and remediate your chart’s personal afflictions with shadow planets such as Pluto, Saturn, Mars, Neptune and Uranus. Unbind from multi-lifetime karma and take your holy power back materially and energetically from systems of extraction that have harvested and bound your access to your body, pleasure, desire & magic.
shadow work journaling prompts think 12-steps but from a trauma-informed, divinely whole place. soul anarchy and soveirngty, with no hierarchal god to punish us or forgive us, just profound acceptance of our multi-dimensional existence, the karma we’ve incurred from free will, and the decisions we’d like to make moving forward that are rooted in Venus’ values & integrity.
group processing and accountability toward personal action: an emphasis on the interweaving of material and psychic systems of oppression that uphold white/male supremacy and dismantle colonialism, capitalism, and the grip of the empire on our bodies, hearts, and values.

WE KICK OFF OUR COURSE WITH A FREE OPENING WORKSHOP!
In this class we’ll start with an astrological lecture to lay out the terrain: what is happening in this Venus RX? Where is she transiting? What is the larger myth of her journey? We’ll meet Venus in Scorpio in her Shadow and in her Divine Wholeness, rooting into her frequency as a resource and inspiration to reclaim our holy power during this Venus (and mercury!) RX. We’ll ground this in a brief discussion of the systems of extraction & power and how personal shadow work relates to larger collective revolution.
We’ll then explore the 12 houses of where Venus might be affecting you personally, and do some journaling around the themes that are already arising for you in this area of your life. If you’ve signed up for voice memo support for the whole course, you’ll have received a personalized mini download on your venus placement, her house terrain, her afflictions and the basics of what you’ll be exploring and remediating during this RX.
We’ll enter a deep meditative state where we’ll reweave the planets back into your field as guides in a protected astral space, with an emphasis on a psychic reweaving of your Venus into your aura.
The guided meditation will take us deep into Venus in Scorpio’s Terrain where she will support us in exploring the landscape of this RX for us personally, receiving unique information about our journey from the guide herself as well as an initiation into the underworld priestess archetype.
Regardless of whether you are joining the full course, you are welcome to attend this opening class as a taste of what’s to come.
EXCLUSIVE CONTAINER STARTS!
CLASS TWO
THE BINDINGS OF VENUS
OCTOBER 16th from 4:30-6:00 PM
Inspired by Venus in Scorpio, the queen of unconscious pain & exiled parts, we will explore the shadow side of Venus in the 12 signs understanding how they might show up in our own bodies, relational patterns and values. We’ll explore the Power of the Erotic (as inspired by Audre Lorde), and discuss the ways in which the systems of oppression have encouraged a severance from our power & pleasure, in a multi-dimensional approach to harvesting our energy via attachments to our physical bodies & star bodies, and the way the arrangement of the planets in our chart can show us where we are bound, and how to unwind that karma.
We’ll begin to explore the trauma imprints of planets in malevolent frequencies from Saturn, Pluto, Mars, Neptune and Uranus and the ways those affect our behavior & energy field. You’ll be invited into deep inventory work with honesty & integrity to meet your shadow behaviors with compassion but fierce accountability.
We’ll take a deep meditative journey to meet your Venus and understand her personal afflictions & bindings with other planets, with a clearing and remediating portion to start to unwind those contracts.
Journaling prompts & group processing for integration.
CLASS THREE: GUEST CLASS
INITIATION INTO THE UNDERWORLD WITH CATHLEEN ALLEN
OCTOBER 22 from 9:00-10:30 AM
Cathleen will initiate us into the underworld, where we will learn the basics of dealing with malevolence and shadow from a vampiric attachment perspective. We will explore the ways vampiric entities can extract, curse, and block us from accessing Venusian themes like pleasure, desire, sex, power and self worth. The planets and the underworld spirits can work closely together with the fates to alchemize our timelines. This will be an incredibly potent class adding real psychic skills to your tool box to address shadow behaviors in your life! Cathleen is a profoundly trusted oracle & guide that has helped hundreds of folks (myself included!) unbind personal contracts with malevolence and step into incredibly potent psychic gifts, embodiment and trust (this class is evidence of that!)
CLASS FOUR
VENUS RX ENTERS LIBRA & WEIGHING OF THE HEART
OCTOBER 30th from 4:30-6:00 PM
We’ll spend this class grounding into Venus’ journey into Libra: who is she in her shadow and in her power? We will identify how we relate to this archetype with another round of shadow inventory as we take responsibility for the behaviors we’ve enacted while also holding a close lens of critique up to the systems of power that depend on us continuing these behaviors.
We’ll also begin discussing how the Mercury RX is closely affecting venus (it’s begun!) and explore unbinding from Scorpionic mental patterns as they relate to Venus.
Go on a meditative journey to understand where Venus is transiting in your chart through Libra and what messages she has for you about balance and the equality of giving and receiving. More to be revealed in class…
CLASS FIVE
COSMIC REMEDIATION: THE VENUS REPAIR
NOVEMBER 6th from 4:30-6:00 PM PST
A deep dive into reparations on the material and etheric plains, this class will be a ritual in repair & remediation. With a focus on self and other forgiveness, we will partake in a truth ceremony via journaling and partner shares. In a meditative state we will come back to union with the divine imprint of our Venus after multi-class clearings.
An emphasis on material, emotional, and energetic reparations to the goddess will be discussed and explored.
More to be revealed in class…
CLASS 6
RESOURCING IN YOUR VENUS FREQUENCY: THE DIVINE CODE OF PLEASURE, DESIRE & WORTH
NOVEMBER 13th FROM 4:30-6:00 PM PST
This class is about meeting Venus in her divine wholeness, as a goddess of power, love, and beauty. Through a lecture on Divine Venus in the 12 signs, kundalini movement, breathwork, and a guided meditation, you’ll open your heart in the way it wants to be opened and receive the gift of your own Venus frequency. We’ll call in Saturn, Pluto, Mars, and Neptune as her divine protectors, and you’ll leave with a new contract: a living assignment for loving, wanting, and receiving in a new way. More to be revealed in class…
CLASS SEVEN
The Commitment Ceremony: A Theatrical Ritual of Venusian Embodiment
November 20th From 4:30-6:00 PM
Arrive as your Venus, embodied in every way you can: clothing, scent, color, hair, makeup, expression, energy, and the care you took to prepare yourself. Then move into a guided meditation and commitment ceremony that anchors your new agreements with Venus and your new contracts with the other planets, including Saturn, Pluto, Mars, Neptune, and Uranus. We’ll close with shares and integration, letting the ritual settle into the body. More to be revealed in class..

ABOUT YOUR PLANETARY ORACLE
Hi! My name is Julia (she/they) and I’m a queer artist, mystic, and mother.
I’ve been a practicing astrologer and witch for 10+ years and have served hundreds of clients in understanding the blueprint of their soul via a hellenistic approach to their star chart. As a planetary oracle I have a deep and profound psychic relationship to the planets whom I consider guides and friends. I am honored to be reweaving the planets into my client’s fields and reconnecting them with these divine star beings to reclaim aspects of themselves in deeper divinity.
I use magic as a form of radical resistance against oppressive systems and my work seeks to be in constant conversation with the material conditions we live under. As a trauma-informed trained peer counselor I have skills in somatic experiencing & resolution and use a parts work approach to my astrological guidance that allows for humanity & wholeness. I reject spiritual bypassing and hold myself accountable to the identities I hold which grant me power, approaching my work from a radical feminist lens.
I am also a professional theater maker and creative teacher who creates ritual theater woven with spell work to alchemize individual and collective patterns. I believe in magic as a revolutionary tool of reclamation and teach folks how to create solo work that heals & connects and utilize creativity as a form of spiritual hygiene.
PRAISE FOR JULIA AS A CHANNEL, TEACHER & PLANETARY ORACLE
“Julia is incredibly gifted. I’m not the most “astrologically minded” person, but the way she was able to explain my chart and the aspect we worked on in an engaging, poetic, and deeply insightful way helped something click.
Julia has a powerful connection to source. Her intuition is finely attuned, she seamlessly recognizes how her wisdom, tools, and energy can guide your reading. I left feeling lighter and more calm after the release the reading facilitated. It kind of felt like energetic acupuncture with a cosmic slice of a therapeutic brain massage. My mind felt like it was reset and I felt a sense of real clarity.”
- COPPER
“Julia is an incredibly clear/potent channel for the planets and has an otherworldly relationship with the underworld beings with whom she is well acquainted. The way Julia opened the session with such fierce intention allowed me to drop more clearly into my own psychic channel. My body’s responses were right in alignment with what Julia was naming, channeling, and clearing for me. Julia helped me clear an old, painful contract, and liberate a part of my natal chart/soul that has been held captive for goddess knows how long.”
-MARGARET
My work with Julia has been illuminating, magical, and empowering. Through our work together, I was able to access gifts from key placements in my chart and better understand the karmic history behind my block. The session was held with compassion, clarity, curiosity, and reverence for what emerged. A block I’ve been holding for years has cleared now because of her. Julia is a very powerful witch and kind human.
-ELIZABETH
“Hands down the best astrology reading I’ve ever had—I will never go back to someone else. Julia’s relationship with the planets is next level. It’s like she’s reading my innermost pysche, and her energy work is precise, powerful, and held in an incredibly loving space. She was able to take me towards intense blocks with compassion, care and ease—I somatically felt released and renewed. I’ve loved my kundalini classes with her as well—I always find such potency in the meditations she guides and feel like I’ve tapped back into my power because of her mentorship. Highly recommend working with Julia!”
