Style
There are many fields of astrology, ways to generate charts, and methods to interpret them. We welcome a diversity of astrological tools. Our eclectic team is here to share their practice with you so that you can shape your own.

Participate
Online
Everything our team offers is available online. You’ll meet other star-loving queers, trans folx, witches, and allies. We use Discord as our classroom platform and Zoom for classes and rituals. Materials are sent through our Patreon.

Chat with
Astrologers
Yes! We’re around! And we love hanging out on Discord to gab about astrology in real time. No question is too basic, and advanced questions are welcomed! We will also help you navigate Discord if that is a new platform for you. Just ask!

Find Right
Relationship
We are mindful of the personal and collective work we need to do to get in right relationship with the land, histories of oppression, and cultural appropriation present in astrology and magic. We are also mindful that we will make mistakes as we learn to do better.
Modern Mystics
Queer Astrology is the lens we use as educators, allies and channels of the divine. Our queerness is our magic and our magic is how we change the world.
We invite students to explore various types of astrology in our school, including modern, traditional and Vedic. We invite our students into a magical practice using astrology, but you won’t find just one interpretation of magical practice. We are exploring the edges of astrology and the edges of magic together.
“Queer Astrology is a tool to build a world where queer humans can thrive.”
Cabra Woodwell, Starsdance Team Member
The Starsdance Mystery School team encourages students to add their own unique flavor when analyzing the mysteries above us: we do not claim to have all the answers. We welcome people who identify as Queer and our allies to join us in practicing an astrology of liberation.
We aim to make knowledge accessible and view queerphobia, transphobia, ableism, racism and classism in all their forms as a barrier to access.
Join us and we will do our best to help you connect with the stars from your own center!

Electional AstroMagic Class
Beginning April 7, 2026, this class is authored by Cabra Gardener and supported by Tere Parsley Starnes and Hemlock ShiningCoil.
At Starsdance, our approach to magic is varied and diverse but we all share a love for how astrology and magic can transform our lives and the world. In Electional AstroMagic we will teach the basics of selecting the best time for magic, how to assess the favorable and unfavorable components of the time we have selected, and how to improve on our spells and magic with the knowledge of astrology. Cabra brings a depth of knowledge about traditional electional techniques. Tere brings their knowledge about modern astrological practices and how to adapt them to modern magic. Our intention is to explore where these techniques and philosophies intersect and how they can inform your magic.
This class will be based on written material by Cabra and each chapter will be followed by a live zoom class where we discuss and practice the material. These sessions will be recorded. The live sessions are scheduled for: 4/14, 4/28, 5/12, 5/26, 6/9, 6/23, 7/7, 7/21. A basic knowledge of astrology is helpful, but this class will be accessible to beginners, too. All our classes have channels on our Discord server where students are given discussion questions, more examples, and have the ability to ask questions that facilitators will answer.
If you’ve never used Discord, we will help you.
You can join the class at any time and receive all the past chapters. Our BIPOC/Accessibility Moons and our Planets tiers on Patreon will receive this material at no extra cost.
