🐄 PSA : DUALITY MEANS BOTH
Quoting me without comprehension is a bold choice! If you’re gonna remix my content & paraphrase me, at least make it accurate! One of my last posts before signing off Tumblr for a while was a breakdown of Saturn & Jupiter in Aquarius—and how their biggest lesson was on duality.
We’re constantly existing between realities.
While we have power to choose & create the one we want, we also have to accept that life is all-encompassing. No one is all good, no one is all bad, life isn’t all happy or all sad. Duality is the essence of existence. The sooner we accept that, the clearer our lens becomes—not just toward others, but toward ourselves and our journey. It becomes easier to see through God’s eyes.It also becomes easier to curate what we want and release what we don’t. Yet, it starts with full acceptance—of the experiences we have with life, of self, of others as a whole. I thought I made that clear months ago šŸ˜µā€šŸ’«šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø
More of this over on X…

🌊 šŸ„šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø ALIGNMENT is a VIBE✨ ā¤ļøā€šŸ”„
Tumblr media
A couple weeks ago, I opened up about my personal experience of God & ancestral favor gifted to me through self trust and exercising faith on my first solo travel experience. However faith & favor wasn’t the only thing I experienced. Opening up my Spring Equinox and spiritual new year with this trip gave me a present example of alignment! And guess what? It’s a vibe!
What does alignment even feel like?
It’s simple. Maybe we haven’t equated our body language to the word ā€œyesā€ before. Maybe we don't even understand how our body is a conduit for energies both physically and spiritually. And that’s ok! With Saturn in Pisces you get to learn! (I’ll soon post an essay detailing this important transit) Whether you have natal water placements in your birth chart or not your body requires you to FEEL and understand what yes and no means WITHOUT WORDS. It also requires you to take a trip down memory lane, emotionally. We can’t know a feeling for sure if we haven’t felt it in a while, so then we must remember. After remembrance comes conjure, not necessarily with spells, but with intentions to recreate emotions in the present.
ā€œYESā€ for me feels like excitement, confidence, urgency and a little bit of accelerated body heat! Not only is this my body saying "yes", it’s my ancestors.
Without words, collectively, my spirit squad and I have agreed we are ā€œreadyā€ for something. I came to realize I had aā€œyesā€ from my body when I booked my first solo travel in February 2025, determined not to waste another year waiting for relationships and circumstances that would allow me to go somewhere! I love the beach and I wish to go more often to different ones all over the world! This would be my second time traveling to Miami. As soon as I purchased the plane ticket, my body said ā€œyes!ā€.
Tumblr media
I felt excited, strong, powerful and confident! It was amazing to have a conscious experience of my own body language, my spirits speaking.
Yes. Ive felt it before, But it made me think about how I could do more things aligned with energy that elicits an equivalent response in my life more often!
It made me think about alignment.
You can find me saying this in an older video : Alignment is not just a theory, its actions and measures we take to live a certain lifestyle.
But alignment is also a vibe! The body saying "yes", the temperature rising, feeling extremely unshakeable, may seem far fetched when you've been out of alignment OR just haven’t really been living life fully, passionately, presently and doing more things you REALLY WANT TO—which doesn’t necessarily mean you're out of alignment, but could mean you’re not centering joy the way you should. Over the years, struggling with clinical depression, this was me at times.
We should be excited to live and have experiences outside of laboring and waiting. Sometimes when it comes to manifesting the life we want, we have to tell ourselves it’s okay to give birth….RIGHT NOW!
Imagine a woman in labor with a baby that never gets born. All that pushing and waiting, all that pain for nothing. Thats what living a life without joy is like; Unable to manifest ideas due to fear.
At a certain point the baby must come out!
The "baby" is your dreams, ideas, goals and the first steps Spirit instructs you with towards those things. In 2025 & Beyond, It’s okay to push those things forward! Create! Let it out! Birth it and Express Yourself! Some of us have been pregnant with ideas or in labor wayyyyy too long. The baby is due. The baby is a re-birthed version of you. It's you finally choosing who you are really meant to be. To embody your Ori / Highest Self. To come back home to purpose after all the things life has shown you and realize it was all for this moment.
visit my "Early Bird" playlist on Facebook to see messages in 2024 about the REBIRTH we will all be experiencing in 2025 & Beyond
You determine what "vibe" alignment is for you and your spirits, but understand that your body's "yes" is also your true sense of joy & gratitude. It’s your soul, your spirits, your inner child, ori and higher self, parts of you that existed lifetimes ago, all becoming one with your being, all saying :
ā€œ Thank You! Thank you for remembering me! Thank you for honoring me! Thank you for loving me and letting me express myself through you!ā€
Gratitude should feel exciting, not loathing. If you don't feel excited when expressing gratitude, that probably means you ALWAYS choose to play it safe. Even if it’s for the sake of friends, family or our romantic partners. NO RISK, NO REWARD! NO FAITH, NO FAVOR! I’ve let a lot of people hold me back from my ā€œYesā€, my joy, gratitude and excitement. I Settled, Withheld things from myself, Waited, Played It Safe and then said …
ā€œI’m Thankful.ā€
I lied to myself and didn't even know it. This is the gratitude that I was taught by family and Christianity. This is the "gratitude" I continue watching women in my family have. The woah is me, at least I have x,y,z--type gratitude. And no I'm not negating having thanksgiving for the mundane and ordinary, but my point is that the energy is different! Just like contentment is a different emotion than ecstasy. Gratitude is joy.
Alignment is a Vibe!
When is this last time you felt like ā€œI cant believe this is happening, but it is!!!ā€?
THAT’S GRATITUDE!!! That's Alignment!!!
Thats JOY!!!
It involves risk taking. This doesn’t mean that all alignment, joys & gratitude, all ā€œyes’sā€ will feel thrilling and send a rush of blood to your head. Sometimes it will be in the mundane, small, daily routines and likewise in turning down opportunities, quitting, saying ā€œnoā€ or ā€œanother timeā€. However, confusing fear and insecurity for gratitude is a huge trap. We must stop being afraid to activate our faith and see what God can really do with us!
So tell me, presently, what's your biggest fear? I'll go first :
My biggest fear is internalizing doubts and fears that aren't my own.
For most of my life I've been surrounded by people who are SCARED. And that's not a life that I want to live or inherit. Life is halfway what we’re given and halfway what we make it. We are constantly co-creating experiences with Source / God /The World Around Us.
2025 is a year where I wish to shed projections and limitations that were and are placed on me so I can . . .
act out my visions and purpose, live in the vibe of my alignment, exist in true joy, true gratitude and be a living affirmation!
What about you?

šŸŽ­ 🤨 Are Geminis Really Two Faced?
Tumblr media
Greetings. If you haven't already been welcomed before, I'd like to welcome you to Jupiter in Gemini, formally being introduced to us by "Gemini Season" or planets running their regular route through the zodiac sign. I will do my best to attempt to cleanse my brain of all information that I could possibly channel and recollect to help readers interested in this major astrological shift and how it could affect life now well into Summer 2026. There is some basic information that you probably already know about Gemini, but that I need to outline before moving further. (USING SIDEREAL ASTRO.)
Gemini is an Air Sign
air signs all deal with media, communication, language, portal opening, crossing/opening roads, spell work, some form of travel. Air signs can all struggle with visibility or seeing one's self clearly and being able to depict that to others. They also struggle to be fully present in the moment.
Gemini is a Mutable Sign
all mutable signs are collectors, scientists if you will, of different degrees. Gemini is a collector and scientists of words and information. All Mutable signs are also truth seekers. Gemini seeks truth through others via word of mouth, research and storytelling.
Gemini is ruled by Mercury
Mercury, yes is about travel & communication, but it's also the fastest moving planet which means that things will happen quickly, maybe even too quickly when dealing with Gemini. Think of how fast a day goes by.... In my experience, mercury shows us the kind of work we do such as our job/career path and our daily life/routines. Mercury collects, then delivers or drops off its findings.
Gemini is opposite of Sagittarius in Astrology
Sagittarius may be deemed as the "know it all", the sage or teacher. They are the expert whether people like it or not and have a rightful place in whatever their respective field of genius exists. Sagittarius is one of the signs ruled by Jupiter which is important because Gemini is in charge of that planet right now. Gemini allows Sagittarius to learn new things and not get stuck in limiting beliefs or take themselves too seriously. Sagittarius allows Gemini to understand that some things are in fact that serious and also encourages Gemini to not only trust other people's stories and experiences, but their own!
I just gave you a quick summary, but this basic information translates to a few things : speed, travel, communication, vocalization, language, research, collecting information, learning, teaching, asking questions, changing the mind, daily routines and life and job/career related topics.
How do these topics grab you? Did any of these words mentioned stand out to you as you read them?
If so, I would take note of that some where. It may be an important theme for you over the next year. Maybe it's an area you need to pay attention to, work on, balance or enhance. I asked a question as the title of this essay that I want to answer. Many people label Geminis as two faced demons. I get exactly why from personal experiences dating and being close friends with more than one Sidereal Gemini. People think Geminis are two faced because they're indecisive and likely wrapped up in confusion of their own making that doesn't make sense to someone not in their head. Someone with Gemini placements, such as but not limited to Sun in Gemini, may change their mind faster than you can say Jack Robinson. Their inability to focus or commit to things long term, quickly changing interests and views according to new information or whatever opinion swivels their minds in that direction (that day may I add šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø) , makes them appear two faced when really-- and unfortunately-- they're just susceptible to new information. Even if it's messy, irrelevant or fictitious they'll allow it to penetrate their mind. In other words they can be very stupid. Now for those that will jump up in arms about me using the word stupid to describe their beloved zodiac sign, sidereal or not, let's define stupid:
Stupid - havingĀ or showing a great lack ofĀ intelligenceĀ orĀ common sense ; dazedĀ andĀ unableĀ to think clearly ; boredom
When I say that Geminis are stupid I mean that at times they lack common sense or the ability to connect information properly. They also struggle with thinking for themselves. They always need a second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth opinion on things and people in their lives. They love playing devil's advocate, even to their own demise, and are often entertained by constant banter and discussion which--without time to properly process their OWN THOUGHTS-- creates obscurity in the mind and in communication. And yes, as you see "stupid" includes the definition of boredom, which validates the point I already made sentences ago : Sidereal Gemini gets bored quick! Their lack of presence isn't necessarily because they're so two faced, it's because they just lost interest that fast or are already focused on something else for the moment. Gemini is represented by the symbol of twins, which is funny because in my observation twins appear in the physical realm when Aquarius is involved. However, the representation that is meant to be interpreted by that symbolism is the double minded nature of someone with Gemini placements in the birth chart. Gemini may show up in the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Saturn or Mars. This information will apply uniquely depending on the planet that's in Gemini.
Tumblr media
Gemini has this gift of being able to divide themselves. They can be in more than one place at one time, but without proper intention and management that same gift can curse them into being everywhere and nowhere, into erasing themselves.
Point being, to answer the titled question, many times in my experience people who are very much two faced are sidereal Tauruses. I think I've covered Taurus enough, but I will quickly break down that being "two faced" is based in masking & manipulation. It's mostly based in appearance and how that translates to others. Sometimes this is a safety mechanism used to protect oneself from rejection and ridicule, but it can also be a way to deceive and disguise an audience from one's own hypocritical and otherwise unacceptable behaviors. It's important to understand that most people who claim the zodiac of Gemini or speak on Geminis shortcomings are not actually speaking about a true Gemini placement, but a sidereal Taurean. So no, Geminis are not necessarily "two faced", they’re confused, messy, struggle with commitment & thinking straight. Can these very things make a person seem "two faced"? Of course! And sometimes I question if the Gemini purposely operates in confusion šŸ¤” (they do sometimes), but 9/10x they are not trying to trick you, they are literally caught in a whirlwind of thoughts, opinions and ideas.
Now that I've went IN on Sidereal Geminis--LOL, sorry not sorry--I will now tell you how this information applies to Jupiter in Gemini and your experiences over the next year whether you are a natal Gemini placement OR NOT!!!!
OG followers know I say this all the time : we ALL have a house with that zodiac sign, meaning we all can inherit those traits time to time.
Okay, let's get juicy! Let's talk about challenges that may arise w/ Jupiter is in Gemini over the next year :
Gossip & Misinformation Spreading
Evil Eye
Confusion
Indecisiveness
Miscommunications / Things Being Lost in Translation
Over/Under Communicating
Bad Car Accidents or Travel Mishaps, Getting Lost Somewhere or With Someone both literally & figuratively
Social Media Drama
Commitment Issues / Not Being Able to Follow Through
Lying / Cheating being Exposed
Spreading Ourselves & Resources TOO Thin
Basically, We'll be having a Giant Mercury Retrograde for the next year. I kid, I kid LOL, but I mean.... Notice I used the word CHALLENGES because these are all things that we can overcome and are ultimately meant to learn and grow from if they are our experiences over the next year. Personally, I am constantly working on speaking up for myself and asking more questions. I don't do this enough thanks to me having a Virgo placement in my birth chart, which represents complete silence/non-verbal communication along with much more.
You can find info on Virgo in my older content, but it's the other side of Mercury and a contrast to Gemini.
Sometimes, people just don't get the message that way though. So I often find myself ignored and mistreated because I'm not verbalizing enough! If you are like me, now is the time to get better at continuing to heal and find your voice! Due to childhood trauma, I feared communication and learned to stay quiet for safety, but that narrative must end. Understand though, there's a difference between speaking up for yourself and others as a means of protection or confusion clearing versus adding to the noise by continuing to go back and forth, over explaining yourself and entertaining drama! There’s also a difference between telling your story and owning your truths versus beating a dead horse and sounding like a broken record! Eventually, it's just messy and the point gets lost. Why keep repeating yourself?
Another important aspect that we can learn during this time is delivery.
Sometimes it's not what's said, it's how, the word choice and knowing your audience. It can also be the fact that anything was said at all! At times silence or no explanation is ultimately the best response!
Although its a great time to level up communication, we still have to strike balance. Are you able to gage who something needs to be said to and what needs to be said?
Or are you just a blabber mouth that says whatever comes out to anyone willing to listen? Are you ā€œoutspokenā€ or over-speaking?
While typing this, Spirit said "Thinking before Speaking" while Jupiter's in Gemini. Wether posting on social media, responding to text messages and emails, having phone or in person conversations our words will hit different, LOUDER and leave marks that apologies might not erase. I believe most of the challenges I outlined are self explanatory, but I do want to elaborate on the last bullet : spreading ourselves thin. Gemini is a jack of all trades, master of none. The next year is a time where yes, some of us could pick up new hobbies or side hustles, but we must discover if it's really SERVING or DISTRACTING us. Make a clear distinction between what's recreational and what's purpose driven & goal oriented as not to waste resources & efforts. Or get lost in a whirlwind of your own making!
As mentioned earlier, Gemini makes one divide themselves like Naruto. Which ultimately creates an unfocused busy body with a weakened asƩ . . .
Tumblr media
Eventually, all your shadow clones will get popped and you'll only be left with you. I remember watching Naruto as a kid and teen. He could only do & uphold the jutsu so many times, for so long until he himself was worn the fuck out 🤣. His asé or , as they called it in the anime, his "chakra" was weakened. The same can happen to us. Lastly, Understand that transportation issues, especially car accidents can 100% be Spirit communicating that you are doing too much or in the midst of drama you should immediately see your way out of ! ! !
I have a TikTok about car accidents that you can find here & across platforms.
Someone could be lying to/about you or cheating you in some way. Car troubles or accidents will reveal this. But, in my experience this mostly happens to people that are gossips, liars and cheaters that can't control their mouths! If you get in a bad fender bender over the next year, the call may be coming from inside the house! Don't be that person who gets popped because you keep interjecting yourself where you don't belong! Mind your business!!!
Now that I've addressed challenges, Let's talk about the flip side! Blessings will arrive w/ Jupiter in Gemini too :
New Ideas, Creativity, Open Mindedness
Laughter
Learning Opportunities
Teaching Opportunities
Networking
Travel
Finding and/or Enhancing Your Voice ; Leveling Up Your Throat Chakra
Road Opening
More Honesty and Truths Exposed
Better Communication
Better Multitasking
Okay, so you know how when the Mercury Retrogrades are over, in the weirdest way you feel better (mostly because you surrendered to the chaos & let it sort itself out instead of fighting against it)?????
Yeah, I have a feeling that's kind of gonna be what this experience is like! The most important thing is to TRUST YOURSELF above all else!!! Luckily, we have Saturn in Pisces constantly reinforcing that lesson over the next 2.5-3 years. Yes, this is a time to embrace new information, be open minded, have fun, explore and don't forget to LAUGH--everything & everyone is not meant to be taken seriously! Yet, the worst thing we can do is completely turn off our discernment. This brings me to a video on my Facebook page called "Awareness Is the Bare Minimum" where I talk about it not being enough to posses information you don't know what to do with. Use what you gain to help you navigate life better. We do not have to repeat lessons when we put our experiences into practice! We don't have to look or be stupid when we've already been there and done that! A word that rings very loudly as I type out the gifts of this transit is OPPORTUNITY!
Spirit says a lot of Opportunities will be coming over the next year for many of us. . .
Opportunity is a more grounded way to talk about one of our favorite spiritual topics : Open Roads. The top ways we can block our blessings, opportunities and open roads over the next year is through poor communication and a lack of discernment. I went over examples of poor communication above, but as far as discernment : not every opportunity will be a necessary step or the best step! In tangent with communication, discernment allows us to know the time, place and correct audience for what we wish to express. We must also protect ourselves by guarding our gateways. Just like when dealing with Aquarius a lot, another air sign (see older post), we have to control our perspective and vision by not being permeable to everyone's opinion. Furthermore, we must examine WHO is giving us criticisms and opinions in the first place! We may be engaging the wrong people. Do they have the credibility, experience, track record or even the attitude and approach to be saying whatever they're saying or to have influence on your beliefs? They could be insecure clowns and messy hypocrites running their mouths to blow off steam, with nothing to back it up except a false sense of ego!
It's important that those we allow into our headspace are WALKING & LIVING their talk, EMBODYING a lifestyle, habits & behaviors that we seek to learn from or surround ourselves with.
That doesn't mean they or their life will be perfect, it means they're not projecting, lying or misinforming. BE QUICK TO SHUT THE SILLY SHIT DOWN for the remainder of 2025 & beyond. Be wary of commentary that detracts from your mind being able to receive divine instruction towards your dream life, plus the confidence and clarity needed to get there.
let's close out this read with the throat chakra frequency to help prepare for what's to come!

🚫 No Faith šŸ™šŸ¼ No Favor! šŸ’–šŸ’žšŸ’°
In honor of the Spring Equinox, I decided to do something bold to kick 2025 off. I went on my first solo trip ever! Putting myself in a vulnerable situation taught me so much about myself and The Divine. Throughout this experience paranoia, doubt & fear haunted me from planning the trip to boarding the plane & checking into my room-- I was WORRIED. I had never traveled completely alone. As a young kid, under 10, I'd flown by myself to visit my dad where he was stationed with the military, but that's it. I don't have a strong memory of that because when I got there, flying alone was irrelevant, I was with family. So after arriving to Miami, I spend a lot of time in the shower like I practice at home to help ground myself and relax. I rubbed lavender oil on my skin after bathing. I unpack almost my entire suitcase to make myself at home, I set out all the crystals I brought with me--to cleanse at the ocean--around the room. I even did some stretching. I said a grounding prayer and did a meditation afterwards. It was in this attempt to center and calm myself that I was given this powerful message :
FAVOR seems foreign when FAITH has been inactive
Now, even though I have an almost endless essay detailing what I believe was the main point of Jupiter's year long phase in Taurus, I would like to believe this story and message I'm sharing was also a part of that narrative. Favor is a key word for Taurus. Faith is a key word for Jupiter. So.... Jupiter in Taurus blesses us with uncanny amounts of favor granted by both heart alignment and service to others. If you wish to tap into the highest form of favor : God's love, the love of your ancestors, guides and even self love & gratitude, it results from following your heart. Deciding to go on this solo trip is a personal example I'm sharing of the favor I was granted by putting faith into my heart.
see more messages like this in previous essay post here on Tumblr and video content mostly via Facebook. Also note that if you have natal Jupiter in Taurus or any Sidereal Taurus placements in your birth chart the things that I'm talking about especially apply to you and are apart of your lifelong journey. However those without Taurus in the sidereal birth chart can still use the info for greater alignment and understanding of how to use gifts from their Taurus houses to their maximum benefit.
It’s hard to understand God’s favor when your faith hasn’t been fully activated in a while. When I say fully activated I mean full throttle, pushing your own limitations out the way and moving forward! Trusting God AND yourself; Trusting your guides & ancestors AND yourself to manifest your intention.
Because sometimes, let's be real... we use ancestors, God and all the spiritual entities we can think of to excuse the part we play in our own lessons and successes! Its time to start giving yourself more credit.
In this case, instead of worrying about what could happen or why things are happening (like my flight being delayed almost 3 hours… ) I was told to understand that everything is happening FOR ME! I know we've heard messages like this over and over,
"it's happening FOR YOU, not TO YOU",
but hear me out. When I set forth aligned actions toward my intention, God’s favor was instantly activated to help manifest and co-create this experience! Examples, I was running late for my flight. The flight was delayed so that I COULD be on time, even early at that. The flight also had maintenance issues which contributed to the delay. I thought,
"Maybe I'm not supposed to be here",
but God and my spirits needed that plane to be damn near in perfect condition if I was going to be on it! Upon arrival, my first Uber driver got cancelled. I started to worry because it was nearing midnight, I thought again,
"What if I'm not supposed to be here".
But the cancellation was because he wasn’t the right driver for me, not because I wasn’t supposed to be in Miami. The Uber driver I landed happily greeted me, recommended 3 beaches when I asked and helped me with my suitcase so i didn’t have to carry it. Even though I still struggled to sleep due to noisy neighbors, my racing mind and anxiety. After receiving this Spirit Message, changing my perspective of the day I had, I decided to set favor as my intention for this trip. Let's take a second to define what favor really is :
Favor : an act of kindness beyond what is due or usual ; approval, support, over-generousness, abundance; being chosen.
According to this definition, Spirit had already shown me an abundance of approval, support and kindness toward my travels. So then why would I be worried? The hypnotic effects of the lavender oil I had earlier rubbed in began to kick in. I started seeing shadowy, elusive figures of men that I've either had relations with or that were interested in me.
Sidenote : yes beloved, if you rub lavender essential oil over your body, especially the bottoms of your feet, forehead and back of your neck it will open your third eye allowing enhanced psychic visions and dreams. The base level of lavender use is relaxation, but at its height it can help you cross into the spiritual/unseen realm. Lavender teaches that some of the best & clearest visions, wisdoms & spiritual encounters won't happen under stress & tension! RELAX šŸµ
Eventually, they all disappear and there's only a shadowy figure of a man sitting in the armchair at the corner of the room. His energy is protective, strong yet in a loving way. I wasn't meant to be scared by this presence, but comforted. I see Le Baron, a Haitian loa, with a suit and top hat. I have a strong presence of Haitian ancestry in my blood, but I was still surprised to be visited by such a spirit. I started trying to make sense of it. "Does he walk with me?" I thought. Many times when I encounter supernatural forces like this, they speak through energy, not words. I came to the conclusion he wanted me to know
He is in Miami, these are his stomping grounds and I am safe because he said so!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Very much this gangsta, divine masculine energy Le Baron is. In solitude, I’m reminded the difference a loving masculine presence makes in safety and comfort. This spirit showed up at the perfect time. At almost daylight I slipped into a slumber, but the visions weren't done! I had another vision which showed the inn keeper , whom I met checking in late that night, bursting into my room yelling,
ā€œyou’re not up yet! It doesn’t take that long to do the assignment."
Assignment? Apparently, im working on an assignment in the dream. But as I look around in this dream, surrounding my room there’s random black and brown people dressed in cultural attire, ancestors… not my own. They sit in loveseats or at chair and table around the very bed I'm sleeping in. I snapped back at the inn keeper,
ā€œbe considerate!!! I checked in at almost midnight!!! I need to rest!!!ā€
But in that moment, it was like everyone in the room was waiting for me to get my day started, to learn and explore Miami. That night, I understood not only did I have favor, I had the support of Miami’s ancestors and spirits as well as the protection of my own Haitian blood. From that moment, I knew I had no choice but to move with that.
The days went by getting better and better as I picked what I would do each day. My last night in Miami felt enchanted. I truly connected with the city in a way I was unable to on my first visit with others. Miami is big and very diverse. There's so many options. Thats what stuck out to me most. It’s a portal for so many foreign cultures and people between their home and the U.S. I was challenged to expand beyond fear, trust myself yet also be patient with me too. God's favor put people in my path every step of the way that were aligned with what I needed. Right before the Spring Equinox and the start of my Saturn Return, this experience was spiritual release I needed to embark on the next level of my journey. Just like Miami, I too am diverse! And I need the right space to express who I am. It showed me that a vacation shouldn’t simply be an escape, but an eye opener to the person you really are and want to be. It showed me both my faith and my favor.

šŸ‚ Lessons from Jupiter in Taurus ā™‰ļøšŸŒ¹
Over the years, I've shared much information about sidereal Taurus one could apply to any placement or house in their birth chart. In May 2025, we completed a major transit through sidereal Taurus that lasted a whole year. Jupiter has now transitioned from Taurus to Gemini. Although one can find similarities that make Taurus and Gemini seem not that different, they are VERY different. They just happen to be adjacent in the zodiac. Depending on the degree or depth that one has or is experiencing adjacent zodiac signs in the sky or in a birth chart, determines "how much" you are getting of a sign. Like a true student of Sidereal Astrology, I don't believe anything can be "on the cusp" per say, but I have discovered that the degree or depth of a placement in the sky or a birth chart can determine if maybe there's a little lingering energy from the prior zodiac sign.
With that being said, Jupiter in Gemini is just getting started. It's important to understand the regular scheduled Gemini transits via "Gemini Season" (June-August as some planets move fairly slow through zodiacs this year) will be what formally introduces us to what this big transit is about. Further meaning, the Summertime is an important transitional period for LEARNING : intaking new information about yourself, the world & people around you.
I'll introduce Jupiter in Gemini in a separate post, so be on the look out for that.
Per usual, to understand where we're at and where we're going, we must unpack where we've been! You can always find older post & video content about sidereal Taurus on my timelines across platforms, but here's a general idea of themes I've discussed in the past :
Community & Relationships
Manipulation & Deception
Role Playing & Performance
Appearance
Authenticity
Creativity & Art
Comfort, Ease, Harmony & Abundance
Compromise
Trendsetting & Popularity
Status & Privilege
Greed
The Heart Chakra
Balance
Gender & Sexuality
Romance
Grace
Rejection
Acceptance

Many times in older posts some may argue that I've made sidereal Taurus seem like the worst of the zodiac signs, but experiencing Jupiter in Taurus allowed me to have an up close & current view of what Taurus is really about. Let's start with the fact that Taurus is an Earth Sign. Earth signs have a few commonalities that will always be topics of discussion when they're in the sky or in a person's chart :
Money & Finance
Career & Employment
Strategy / Numbers / Analytics / Formulas / Trends
Rituals & Traditions
Material Resources including but not limited to Food
Manifestation / Purpose & Usefulness
How these topics manifest through each Earth sign looks different, has its own unique stories, struggles and rewards. When looking at these topics in regard to sidereal Taurus we see the themes listed above as explanations to the stories we hold or questions we have in regards to these Earth Sign topics. For example, If you're wondering how to bring in riches you would need to look to Taurus (and your Venus placement in the birth chart-- as Taurus is Venus ruled) to determine who you need to be in community with, the role(s) you may have to play within these communities or relationships and how you can find an authentic way to connect with people who will help support your goals, meet your needs & validate you for your own wellbeing. We are all meant to SHARE something with others and yes, this may involve some type of performance factor or compromise, BUT the gag is : as an adult you get to determine how much you perform and compromise for the sake of these communities & relationships helping to support your needs & lifestyle.
Sidenote : Yes, this could be a trauma for a Taurus placement : having to perform or compromise themselves as a child to be accepted by family, etc. and get basic care, BUT as an adult that doesn't have to continue to be the narrative, with proper care to unpack that trauma. This could also point to the need to default to manipulative or deceptive behaviors, aka : "fake" or "phony" -ness but one must realize at a certain point they literally HAD TO be fake/complaint/silent for their own physical/emotional/mental safety. But again, that narrative and the ways one may be dishonest with themselves can end at anytime. Take your power back by beginning to be honest & upfront!
Taurus puts us in a marketplace mindset of trade. What can I exchange or bring to community/ the collective/etc. for my needs and desires to be met? Yes, you can exchange your time & body in labor for pay, but not only is this status quo, it's the lowest level of what we can do. The trick is finding our unique heart centered purposes that allow us to use our gifts, talents & tools in a way that is anointed by and aligned with The Divine. Taurus can directly link us to our purpose. Once we unlock our unique talents we can capitalize off it by being in the right spaces/community! Not necessarily in an evil way, but in a way that shares the burden of survival (s/o to the People's Oracle for the billionth time) and may even overflow our cups!
The right community or relationships allow us to tap not only into goldmines of abundance, but into our purpose. The door way to luxury & abundance is through the heart.
I have an entire article about this I posted last year on Tumblr & even copied it to Facebook if you wish to find it! It's an awesome read and definitely relates very nicely to this essay. What we must watch for in our heart space, communities & relationships once we tap into those riches of life--and I'm not just talking money--- is GREED!
Greed in Taurus can position one from being abundant, to never having enough and being willing to do whatever for more no matter the cost or disadvantages. Remember, at the end of the day, it's not about MONEY it's about relationships. Money represents PEOPLE and the value of what you are providing them with. All riches flow through the heart. In order to tap into overflow & God's blessings, you must move from the heart and keep yourself in balance!
Tumblr media
Out of everything I can say about issues that arise when dealing with Taurus in ourselves, a person or an experience, the main problem & solution is TRUTH.
Taurus causes one to seek constant external approval because they've experienced rejection so often that they've been taught in some way to reject themselves. When we are more focused on how we will be/are being viewed & received than if we even desire inclusion and reception from that community or relatioship in the first place, it's a problem. This creates a sense of detachment from one's internal & personal experience of comfort. We've all had something about us that just repeatedly made others uncomfortable and we may have sought to change & manipulate that thing about ourselves to suit others.
I'll go first in sharing my rejection story :
For me personally, its my beauty. Not to ever toot my own horn, but
usually, I am one of the / the most beautiful person(s) in any room.
Now this is just based on appearance alone, but add to that I am very talented. I often have had to hide, downplay or disguise how beautiful and talented I am to make others feel more comfortable or like they can relate to me. Growing up I was taught to hide my body. To not wear revealing clothes or things that clung to my figure. I was told not to enhance or add to my beauty with makeup. I was taught to just be neat, plain and quiet. Don't be too opinionated, don't ask too many questions. Take up as little space as possible and don't be MORE noticeable. Just be "good".
WHY?????????
Because my body, my appearance, my beauty ALONE is a threat to the status quo. It gives me an unfair advantage and privilege that some women don't have : desireability. It could also "put me in danger" with men--to be so beautiful. But my caregivers who reinforced & policed this societal narrative throughout my life (even currently) forgot one thing :
I get to control WHO engages with my body and HOW. Just because someone desires me, does not mean I have to respond or react to suit their wishes. It's also not my job to make other women feel less insecure or threatened.
This is the lesson that yes I was taught, but it should've been the focus. And shouldn't people who love me WANT me to have an unfair advantage and privelege in this world? I mean it's hard enough out here LOL! Although there are some blessings in modesty and I don't regret being raised with it, what I've had to come to terms with in almost 30 years of life is the trauma that many women, regardless of their rank on the desirability scale, face : not being able to embrace themselves fully aka People Pleasing ; To reject their bodies, feelings, desires, gifts and talents to the comfort or pleasure of others--whatever that may be. FUCK THAT!
It's bigger than me, my family and my upbringing though. It's bigger than my story. It's a program that society pushes to surpress the divine. If more women LOVED their bodies and were a little more flamboyant about their appearance; If more women were bold in expressing their gifts and talents can you imagine what kind of world that would be?
Tumblr media
I am an example of what it could be by embracing my beauty, body, gifts and talents fully; I lead the way for others who wish to do the same. I was chosen to be a part of the solution, the undoing of programming that hurts the divine feminine in all women.
You cannot please everyone. Managing other people's perceptions, emotions, reactions and responses is EXHAUSTING!!! It also robs you of this one important thing : AUTHENTICITY
The worst thing that you may experience for being authentic (outside of violence/hate crimes) is alienation. Alienation is a sidereal Scorpion topic, the opposite of Taurus, much like alienation is the opposite of community. Every once in a while you need to experience that to recover your fullness, to know what makes you real and special. And that's okay. I do believe, there's a difference between genuinely not liking something about yourself, wanting to change it for yourself or simply experimenting. We all have imperfections, things that we don't deem "cute" or acceptable and areas we seek to enhance, but changing yourself--especially constantly---for external approval is nothing more than self hate and delusion.
It says "I don't have to like/love/embrace myself if _______ loves/likes/embraces me. "
Which is farthest from the truth. You do have to like & love yourself no matter whose around. The community, the relationships that validate and accept you are just a bonus! Furthermore, how do you know the difference between if people are really loving and embracing you versus TOLERATING you????
Did you know that you are not the only thing that can change?
Sometimes we have to realize it's the community, environment and company we keep that must change. It's not always us. We too have the power of rejection within our hands.
In so many post I have talked about Rejection as a form of Protection. Experiencing constant rejection from anyone is usually a sign of that person's / community's own struggles within. They reject themselves so how can they accept those around them?
For example : experiencing racial rejection is not a sign of something being wrong with your skin color/cultural differences. Its a sign that the group of people/person doing the rejection lacks awareness of diversity and understanding of others, which also points to something deeper their rejecting within themselves. In terms of racial rejection, its a program that's run on so long many people don't even know what they're rejecting within. Either way its envy and projected self hate that one can internalize over generations.
You shouldn't feel tolerated. You shouldn't feel like you must abandon your truth, yourself--the real you--- for others. They are just not for you. And that's okay too. We've had a lot of fixed sign activity in the sky along with Jupiter in Taurus, like Saturn in Aquarius and now in 2025 eclipses in Leo and Aquarius, which has ultimately given this reoccurring message about seeing discomfort as direction. You don't have to be okay with rejection or develop nonchalance toward people's opinions about you, you do however need to examine the direction in which those discomforts point you.
Is the discomfort asking you to change the internal or the external?
I will try to answer that question for you by breaking it down into a thought process you can use :
Have I tried showing up fully and authentically in spaces or relationships where I feel rejected?
Yes : What was the response? Did I properly explain my discomfort if I felt ridiculed or rejected? or No : What's hindering me from doing # 1?
If the answer to # 1 is YES , its time to evaluate why and by who I am being rejected by examining the changes I'm being asked/forced to make and how they benefit ME.
If the answer to # 1 is NO, its time to take a risk! You are playing it too safe and you are doing the devil's work for him by policing yourself! This is the first step into your audacity and into no longer letting fear, generational & societal programs run your life.
There's been numerous times in my journey where my light, my beauty, my body has caused me discomfort. Instead of changing my environment, instead of changing the people I was around I changed myself to make them feel better. I compromised, I tolerated, I conformed as best as I could. I allowed myself to be manipulated and deceived, I robbed myself of authenticity and putting my comfort first. And the only thing I was left with was a broken heart. If you are like me, you can fix your brokenness by saying no more.
For many of us Jupiter in Taurus illuminated the heart space allowing us to release grudges and grips that closed us off from being more open to where and who The Divine needs us to be. It allowed us to more fully embrace our queerness and quirks, our unfair advantages. It allowed us to love ourselves and others on a different level. It was a gateway to more ease, more acceptance, more grace, more creativity. It showed us that forcing it isn't always the way. It showed us that sometimes when you ARE the standout in community, you aren't a problem. You're a leader, trendsetter and lighthouse that God put in the room to exemplify something that others' needed to experience in the 3D. To raise the bar. You may have been the manifestation of God's love, grace, mercy, joy, abundance, beauty that someone needed contact with. And maybe by witnessing your existence and response to rejection, they learned more grace, more patience, more love, more acceptance, more joy for themselves.
Someone out there may still be battling with self rejection (that ultimately gets reflected back in the external). Someone may be struggling with having the right attitude or response to life and people. To the person(s) that are still struggling, sometimes our initial communities (family) didn't always help us correctly embrace and navigate ourselves ; Better yet have the tolerance for external relationships. We haven't felt truly safe in a while. There are some of us who may not even struggle with authenticity, but we struggle with being understood, believed and accepted in the truths we display. The wrong community can hinder anyone, but community also helps shape and mold us into who we're meant to be. Finding new community/relationships and giving them a chance to teach YOU something is always a good thing! The right community/relationships should feel like an embrace, even when correction is needed. The right community & relationships will not have you navigating lust, greed, envy or jealousy and other imbalances of the heart.
It will amount to a higher vibration of purpose, trust, overflow and love.
I believe I've covered everything Spirit needs me to release on this topic, at least in writing! If you made it this far I hope you've enjoyed this essay, the astrology breakdown and can use this information to review the past year of your experience to see how your heart has been opened and changed, how you've been more connected to your true purpose and how you've been led to stop rejecting yourself for society trash beliefs or childhood traumas and people who are only seeking to disadvantage or use you for their sole benefit. I hope you understand that ALL communities and relationships are not suppose to hurt, but that sometimes there's aid and relief where you are willing to accept it. To put down the weapons, to take off the masks and to just be the real you.

āš”ļøšŸ‘šŸ¼ It's Time to Fully Trust Yourself āœ…
Tumblr media
Hello, I may not be very visible or audible anytime soon, but I will be sometime this summer. It's important for me to come back a little different, better, than before I left and that may take more time! While I prepare for a true return to screens, I want to warm my spirits back up to sharing messages and translating spiritual information into practical things by discussing (as always) sidereal astrology and other spiritual tools/concepts in long form articles here on Tumblr. I believe this is the best place for these types of things. So I'm going to follow that nudge.... Let's get started ā¬‡ļø
I'll go back to "the beginning" . From 2017 - 2019 I began slowly reawakening to the spiritual world. I started buying crystals and listening to spiritual influencers and teachers online. I saved countless screenshots to my phone with nuggets of wisdom. I started learning about ancestors, Africa and the connection of it all, I started lighting candles for intentions and not smells. I started visiting spiritual shops more often. In 2019, I Intuitively picked up Sacred Woman by Queen Afua and the rest is history. It took nine months to finish that book, but in nine months I also had a perspective shift. The seed was planted for the blossoming spiritualist I am and the manifestation of Goddess I become.
By the end of that same year, I had my very first spiritual reading by Goddess Caleasia at the time. One of those spiritual influencers & teachers I mentioned I was watching. She confirmed my decision to leave an abusive relationship when I doubted myself; One where , spiritually, I was being dog walked!!! No spell, no bath, no candle, no prayer could save me from having to actually be done with the situation--and this is something a lot of us don't wanna hear!
Either way, I didn't know the following years, 2020 to the present, would be a continual rising of personal power through loss, pain and sacrifice ; 2017-2019 was preparing me for what I was about to go through next:
A necessary detox to recall ,to the forefront, who I really am šŸ†š who people want me to be for their comfort / narratives.
The learning started with me, then in 2021 Spirit urged me to stop being a sponge and start releasing what I've learned on my own platforms. I started with sidereal astrology, then began cross referencing other concepts and spiritual tools into the discussion. Although analytically my contributions online have not made the biggest impact and have often landed me in nothing but frustration, I gained observers who may quietly look for my take on what we are experiencing. More importantly, on and offline, Spirit showed me that I have a unique ability : I'm a mirror. You cannot see me until you see yourself, so engage carefully! People see what THEY need to work on/are struggling with through me, my messages and my light. I am also able to reflect people's light as well, but you have to show up for that!
Despite being ridiculed or straight up ignored, I've been shown that I influence people to change, even if it's quietly, subconsciously or in hindsight. This reminds me of when I was five years old, gathering my stuffed animals in a group and playing "teacher" to them. These were inanimate objects, yet it didn't matter to me. Why should people ignoring me or refusing to engage affect me now? Pushing through discomfort, I continued sharing things I've learned and channeling Spirit. Yet, in 2023 I discovered Instagram was a major source of evil eye, distraction and a portal that needed to be closed. This decision to remove myself from that platform was ultimately about fixing my vision. It was bigger than me, Spirit wanted me to use my reach to shift other people's minds and even remove their focus from IG feeds. Without IG, I was able to explore what content creation and information sharing looked like outside a grid of boxes. I started over and it felt good! But moving through 2024, something was still off.....
Tumblr media
I was angry because I wasn't getting the response I thought I should get from sharing GREAT information. I kept feeling ignored even by people who chose to follow me on the new platforms. My words and ideas continued to be blatantly stolen and reused by other spiritual creators and people I know I touched with my content were doing everything but positively supporting/engaging. Nothing came of it except my own disappointment. I cross examined myself against other creators.
I said , "Well... maybe I'm not consistent enough. Maybe I don't put out enough content. Maybe I'm not doing enough things that grab attention." I pushed myself harder. I tried to record something or write something daily.
2024 was the year I generated the most content ever, spiritual or not. But the truth is that I was burnt out and the only thing I was fueling was an obsession with content creation and social media. That was the elephant in the room that I had to face in 2024 and get a grip on. I had to stop placing so much value in online platforms just because other people generated success from them. I had to be honest that, yeah maybe it's a helpful outlet that could generate something good, but that's not where my focus should be.
My focus should be on myself.
All the channeled messages, spiritual work and knowledge I shared was really about filtering my lessons and remembering everything so I could move forward into embodying and applying it in real life! Although I love helping others realize and actualize themselves, I have to do it for me first. I must always be my own mirror!
Helping people or "mammying", especially for Black/melanated women is often a hinderance toward reaching a higher level of growth within one's self. - via Iya Oshunyemi Akalatunde
People only want to engage with those they believe possess something they lack or have mastered something they seek to gain. It may sound odd, but Its true. Nobody wants to engage with someone who they feel has no tangible "results" in which they speak. Little do people know, tangible blessings or "results" are not the only things that can indicate someone's knowledge, power and riches. I know and have been told in readings that I have the Spirit of a Great Mother upon me. I personally feel it's part of my calling to assists those with mother/heart wounds. But, putting my growth last isn't the way.
Getting brutally honest about the fact that, although IG was the main culprit, I had an issue with social media. This led me to start making content in the second half of 2024 telling the truth that we all needed to hear : LOG OFF!!!! You can go through my timeline and find fragments of these things discussed and watch hours of content about things I'm reiterating in this article. Here I am in 2025, logged back in after a 4 month hiatus offline because Spirit said my voice is needed, I'm needed and I shouldn't stop sharing out of spite, but I should continue to protect my vision, keep clear my intentions and maintain balance in my relationship with social medias.
Beginning a new year offline was challenging because this is when all the spiritualists gather collectively to release prophecy and insight on what to expect for the year to come! Of course I wanted to put my two cents in, but sitting back and letting Spirit pour into me, teach me and show me what the year was about without anyone else dictating it was like unwrapping a gift on Christmas Day! Almost halfway through the year I see that 2025 --- a number 9 year--- is about FULLY TRUSTING YOURSELF.
Believe you have been prepped & molded for where you are now. It's time to Listen. Listen to your first mind, your ori, your body, your heart. There are so many parts of you that are speaking. . .
Tumblr media
Listening TO YOURSELF is the first medicine that Spirit has shared with me for 2025 & beyond. With excessive programming, In a time where we constantly look to people & media for validation, we are weakening our intuition. We are instantly blocked simply because we can't log out, tune out and tune into our internal other than when we are knocked out sleep--some of us. Don't just be a sponge this year that absorbs everything and everyone, but does nothing to progress their higher calling! Don't by stand your purpose and the moves you can make!
When I logged off for four months, I shifted my focus by closing the portals on my devices I got bigger, my power grew, I was more grounded, I was ready, my imagination was stronger, Spirit was louder. I was able to truly prepare for THE NEXT LEVEL. I started making breakthroughs again, walking with more faith vs. hoping I could. I got shit done. I locked in.
āš”ļøāœ… I TRUSTED ME šŸ’•āœØ
Tumblr media
so before you look around this year, look within...
any other truths, guides or "gurus" are ultimately pointing you back to your own alignment, silent truth and intuition. It's my prayer that as a divine mirror my break from social media is the reflection and cue needed for your own, to stop stop distracting and tuning yourself out. To listen. . .

Even if it's letting go . . .
Always remember, Rejection is Protection & Redirection

Pray for ✨ACCEPTANCEšŸ’• today so that you can be ✨OPEN🌹 to 🌊RECEIVEšŸ’§ the full manifestations of your heart and not a fraction of it.
Tumblr media
We can pray for clarity 25:8 but if we cant accept it, it's a pointless prayeršŸ™šŸ½This year a portion of my spiritual offerings are dedicated to channeling messages regarding our third eye! In order to trust & believe what God and our guides show us, we have to learn

This is the First 2025 Update to the Playlist...
in about 5 months! It came to me while watching spiritual videos. I started singing one of the songs off this album. It then occurred to me that Ms.Jill Scott is a Sidereal Piscean Queen herself and this album was both created and released during the last time Saturn was in Pisces (late 90's/early 2000)--when we got some of the best music of all time! This is the perfect addition to the playlist as we all continue to get accustomed to this #NewEra .... Saturn in Pisces that is -- if you haven't been catching my drift since 2024...
Make sure you are #PluggedIn to this playlist , especially if you need a pick me up or inspiration within your day! Don't forget to Subscribe to the new Youtube Channel and stay tuned for updates & video content as we move closer to the Summer Season šŸ”®šŸ’‹

Saturn Finalizing its time in Aquarius starts with the end of a long Retrograde. This Final RX of Saturn in Aquarius lasted 6 months, 9 if we include its shadow period prior to retrograde :
when the planet almost halts its movement before rotating backward : apx. March 2024 - May 2024 Try reviewing this time period to see what stopped or removed itself from your life/path/psyche/ body/etc. during this time; It's 90% due to Saturn moving through its shadow.
In totality, the retrograde felt very introspective : like "shadow work" or what I prefer to call self reflection--because shadow work is really just acknowledging a piece of your reflection that you don't want to see--it also felt like a hermit mode. Yet, the exhale we've all waited for. You might've experienced an abundance of space : free time, distance (social/actual) disconnection from something(s)/someone(s), a change of mind, a humbled ego and unmet or exceeded expectations, but nonetheless a journey through the thicket to your open road. I've come to understand disappointment as an indicator the road is open for bigger and better! Over this time period, personally, I experienced long overdue conversations that were difficult, but progressive in one way or another; I believe a lot of maturing happened along with better understanding of our identity and "self". Saturn always brings lessons about surrender no matter what zodiac it transits, but even more so in a sign ruled by the planet (Capricorn & Aquarius).
To say this retrograde spanned most of the year, as Saturn retrogrades usually do, 2024 wasn't easy by far and I think that has a lot do with it! In this article you'll read downloads & lessons that Spirit revealed as important not just from the current completion of Saturn's RX in Aquarius, but a summary of the meaning of many experiences 2021 - Now brought up by Saturn & Jupiters back to back transit through Sidereal Aquarius.
One of the biggest lessons of Saturn/Jupiter in Aquarius ruling the past three years (2021-2025ish) is :
DUALITY
Sometimes ITS YOU : you’re the problem and solution, stop looking at everyone else. TEND TO YOUR OWN GARDEN.
It’s time to grow up, take responsibility for our actions, inactions, the way we show up, things we say or don't and stop living obliviously, theoretically, hypothetically and/or vicariously. Ignorance is not bliss when you know what's wrong and choose to ignore or deny the reality of what's happening. That's called DENIAL
The solution for denial is simple : Accountability.
That's half the battle. Other times, it's : not taking things personally
There's always development available to us, but our perception will determine what we're able to gain and how we gain it. Our ability to self reflect will often save us from some of the hardest lessons life can offer. Either way, most times, both the lessons or our reflection will point us to our power. Sometimes it's a matter of choosing to be introduced to that power from inside ourselves versus outside of self. REFLECTION is key because we each need a great idea of who we are and who we're not to navigate life. How will you know when to draw the line around your identity, character, morals & more if you can't even look yourself in the mirror? The best mirrors aren't physical, but relational. It's the people we are surrounded by that tell us the most about who we are and what we came to do in this life. Solitude can also be a mirror too, because it gifts the space to not only dive into self, but to DEFINE one's self. Having an internal relationship will help decode and divide your truth from what may be projections (good/bad) and agendas placed on you.
Tumblr media
Duality helps us see (third eye) both personal and impersonal parts we play in our lives. We need to know both sides. Only then can we truly see the difference between BEING THE PROBLEM vs. Participating In It . Sometimes the solution is waking up to the big picture or "seeing the play" --as someone called it once upon of time in my journey-- then deciding what you wish to do with that consciousness : will you participate in that version of reality or no?
Duality is Reality
there's a flip side to everything in life. When we critique or complain about someone/something we also have to acknowledge our reflection & participation in the things we claim to disagree with. Undoubtably, some people (usually Sidereal Aquarian placements -- enjoy the free read lol) are programmed from an early age to live in denial by participating in perpetual discomfort, conflict and contradiction. Negativity, bitterness, hatred and offensiveness often become fuel for these individuals! They're even taught to thrive off of these sources. That will only last so long though, because it's unnatural to accept all of those things without it eventually imploding your being. Sidereal Aquarius teaches us about, yes : programming & redoing it, but even better -- transcending experiences, beliefs, programs and spells that were all distractions and denials of the truth. Sidereal Aquarius placements or not, you have experiences of reality being warped to benefit someone else while you were harmed or discarded. This brings me to another important point : it's not just a hip saying, but a gospel :
šŸ‘ļø PERCEPTION IS REALITY
This saying is a translation of one way sidereal Aquarius in the sky and birth charts can be interpreted, including Saturn. Leo is the polar opposite of Aquarius and often represents the lens/filter we see things through. Aquarius is what it actually is and usually it's both (duality). What changes how we see reality is the language and POV we use to describe & observe it. It's also OUR CHOICE! It's important to observe WHO is speaking and what lens/filter they are using to gage their POV. Anyone can tell you anything, but it may not be true or necessary. In my personal discovery I've found most people, for example, who gossip about others---thinking they're delivering "tea"-- are mostly reporting their own reflection 🫣. And this is why It's important to use DISCERNMENT : your own mind, eyes and judgement to experience things and people individually.
Don't elect yourself to believe a false reality that's really someone's inner work reflected back to them in the external. That's the REAL tea . . . šŸµšŸ«–
Tumblr media
How things look is exactly how they are, many times. Looks suspect?Fake? Jealous? Hateful? Perverted? Controlling? Prideful? Scheming? Manipulative? Genuinely Loving? Caring? Kind? Inspiring?
It is. Most times you don't have to guess...
You just have to believe your own eyes!!!
And when your eyes/mind/ judgement fail you (all parts of the third eye space) then believe your body! Believe you me, your body will ALWAYS pick up what your mind can't! It's our own doubts that make us distrust our experience. This is why third eye work has been important as we wrap our experience of Saturn in Aquarius :
You've got to be able to trust yourself.
Over the past 3 years I've created content around the Solar Plexus, Throat Chakra and Third Eye channeling various downloads about why these energy centers we're blocked, tasking those who wanted to take up the challenge to work through them. Major activity in Sidereal Aquarius screenshotted where we were imbalanced in our confidence, personal power, ability to speak or silence and see correctly and beyond what's presented.
The Solar Plexus strongly deals with confidence : the ability to do. . .
Moving through a pandemic where everything was shut down on a global scale--like literally the world was STOPPED -- and no, not by Beyonce. . .
Tumblr media
. . . but by Jupiter & Saturn transiting Capricorn.
Capricorn is the energy of rest, peace, stillness, finality and more. With these things come unwavering truth, clarity and sanity about life. With Capricorn also comes the burden of Great Depression and ailments caused by being idle for too long. It's death, grief and chronic illnesses/pain. It's getting stuck in the past. All things that can lower or even deplete our ability to move & do as we please. Without presence & action in our own lives we can develop insecurities, ultimately affecting our confidence (solar plexus). We needed to get back in motion, even with a pandemic still on-going. The government and the world was right, we can't just stop forever. Yet, the pause we all took definitely challenged us to be more resourceful. I remember preaching about showing up, "the power of presence" and decision making 'til I was blue in the face on IG LIVES and posts!
Activating the solar plexus starts w/ making a choice, then showing up consistently for the choice you made. . .
its when this happens that we're able to practice embodiment : walking the walk, not just talking the talk; projecting; wishing that we could do/be something we haven't even given a try.
That 2022 content may be floating around in early post or on my X & Facebook accounts if you want to find it. But here's one throwback & receipt ā¬‡ļø
Tumblr media
In 2023 I dealt with the Throat Chakra..
According to Spirit, this was the next level that we need to heal and unblock. The Throat is a special space, one of the higher chakras and planes of reality we can exist on. The throat is such an important Portal, opposite yet equal to a birth canal. Understand the throat as a portal allows us to see our mouthpiece as a manifestation tool. Meaning, its not what you say, sometimes its not even how you say it, its the intentions you hold in what you speak.
"Intention is the language of God" - Ajna Sarah of the Healing Place Dynasty
So stop lying, being pessimistic, a devil's advocate and a messy instigator!
( p.s if none of those shoes fit, don't wear them--I'm just channeling what's coming through)
Stop thinking you're exposing anyone but yourself.
Stop being so quick to clap back. . .
Because you are actively manifesting every time you exhibit these things. Most opinions & narratives we hold about others actually reveal a deeper look within (duality ā¬†ļø). You'll learn to control your mouth better when you understand it's a portal. The way you speak changes reality. Because of this, silence is sometimes the best option. You can have an opinion, observation or experience that is true without sharing it unnecessarily. This is a form of protection. Because the mouthpiece is a powerful connector and tool, learn to speak life into yourself, your situation and others! Speak from your heart's desire and believe what you say!
The interesting thing about the Throat Chakra : it parallels the 2nd House in the birth chart. It's also directly tied to our finances. The 2nd House is the house that controls finances. It shows how money comes and goes in our lives, how we spend and how we can save. It also shows how we communicate.
for more personal decoding on your 2nd house reach out to book a reading on your 2nd House šŸ˜
Through personal experience and study of the 2nd House along with Saturn in Aquarius -- a fixed, Saturn ruled, air sign-- I've discovered sometimes, money is not the true issue, it's our perspective & management of it.
These things can directly point to financial mismanagement :
Over eating, gossiping, oversharing, over spending & being over weight can point to natural & god-given abundance mismanaged! A messy, deficient or even exaggerated lifestyle can be cleaned up simply with privacy, meal prep, budgeting, minding your business & listening more than you speak for starters.The faster we learn to manage our mouth the sooner we manifest better financial situations & lifestyles. There's definitely a need for balance though. Staying silent, starving yourself and not sharing out of greed or scarcity can also block abundance. It's not always that we do too much, sometimes we aren't doing -- or giving rather-- enough!
See my other article about Jupiter in Taurus & The Heart as the center of Abundance here on Tumblr (and a less cool version on Facebook) !
I have a tendency to overshare, but in uncomfortable situations I completely shut down communication. Facilitating this journey through healing, balancing and expanding the throat chakra in 2023 made me aware of this issue where I struggled or couldn't have uncomfortable conversations. Once I faced that fear, I was able to release major blocks. Sometimes financial and communication blocks expose themselves in your ability to ask for help too. Know that it is okay to ASK for help, but to also know WHO you ask makes a huge difference.Ā Blockage and healing alike is also in our vocabulary.
Changing vocabulary changes perspective. Perspective changes perception, which then changes reality.
The wrong vocabulary can ROB us of resources that we presently have! Studying language and literary arts are important to help us better describe our lives and the future we wish to create. READ A BOOK! Being well articulated can allow us to see things we may ignore. If we move back to linking the Throat Chakra to the 2nd House (50% about finances) in Astrology, Sometimes undoing "lack" is simply taking the blindfold off and allowing ourselves not to overlook our blessings because we're not able to experience nor express ourselves in the present. Saturn in Aquarius has done a lot to help heal & expand the throat chakra, in fact maybe the most it may have done was help us be more honest and authentic in communication, manifestation and how we gather and share resources. But the work didn't stop there!
In 2024, divination told me we need healing & expansion of our third eye!
Did you know your third eye is the same thing as your imagination? It's also our ears, physical eyes and frontal lobe of the brain. It's collecting data and processing it for ourselves & others. The third eye space is another tier of reality that can we exist on. Another portal where we can channel information that allows us to defy time, space and our present realities. The biggest issue blocking our third eyes is screens : watching other people. We over consume media, opinions & information to an obscure degree. We can't see God anymore! Some of us have completely lost connection with our imagination and therefore our ability to channel divine downloads, visions and instructions from source. We don't have an imagination. We are cloning ourselves after whatever the media feeds us or whatever media we feed ourselves. We buy into trends, experiences & disassociate from our reality, the unique worlds & beautiful lifestyles we can manifest by paying too much attention to things/people that have nothing to do with us. We're so quick to escape from our present moment, when the magik we need is literally derived from tapping deeper into that moment. The moment where you want to pick up your phone and scroll for hours, watch videos, listen to podcasts, etc. Our eyes and ears need a break!
In my 2024 content, I've opened up about the dangers of social media addiction. This was a difficult topic because so many of us are on socials and it's now a natural part of life. People run businesses or side hustles through platforms, make friends, establish communities, even find romance, inspiration and more through social media. TBH, I think I've done a little bit of all of these, so I see nothing wrong, but here's how Spirit challenges us right now :
how may [social platforms] block actualization in our physical realities???
Spirit says : "Beloved, You Missed the Point . . ."
You're not creating content, you're creating your life!
Okay, you're going places, taking footage to create an aesthetic for your page's grid. You're wearing the clothes, trying different styles, taking the trips, doing "the things". What if, instead of creating an "aesthetic" for other people to observe you actually realized you were creating a life you truly love?! Your third eye must be open to see what kind of life you're supposed to have! Unfortunately, that means putting the phone down a lot more often. Social media/The Internet can be an extension of your reality, but it shouldn't be your reality. It shouldn't be your home. In this Aquarian time period a lot of us have made it home, but truthfully it's been an escape & an excuse of why we won't get to work creating in the physical. Sidereal Aquarius deals with technology. There's always some media related technology or advancement in society that mesmerizes us into escaping the present. At one point I believe television and movies had this same affect that social media and the internet currently has. All these tools are channels, portals, things meant to facilitate connection and inspiration. Yet, become toxic when we cannot break away to formulate our own ideas, opinions, visions, aesthetic and dive into our imagination.
Why can't we take the downloads offline & to the next level, off the Pinterest boards, IG grids, Saves, Stories, AI, filters, LIVES, etc. and really live them out in 3D?
In a TikTok video I talked about the internet/social media really being a magik mirror for the lives we want to live and manifest. Once we get that inspiration we gotta LOG OFF and get to work creating it! A little bit of inspo goes a long way, often times leading to a rabbit hole of your own doing! Maybe focus on traveling instead of surfing the internet. Making your life a mood, instead of creating a mood boards. Opposed to online shopping, visit local stores. There's so much power we can take back by actually LIVING LIFE! Not everything will be broadcasted and witnessed at the touch of a button. And that's okay. How will we truly develop if everything is always for everyone to see?
I believe the revolution will not be televised, and should it? Would that even make it revolutionary? True change and development is unpredictable and sometimes invisible. That doesn't mean it isn't happening. As much as we may do for an audience, we--consciously or not--are equally doing for self. Reclaim your imagination and ability to connect with God's Vision & Divinity by getting more comfortable with the unseen and unknown. Be comfortable witnessing things personally and not vicariously. That's what matters most. Lastly, on my journey channeling messages and working with the third eye space :
A lot of us are chasing images & aesthetics vs. our true dreams.
Understand : Your dream life is more than an image; It's an embodiment.
Again, reality cannot always be captured, so stop modeling your life and expectations of it off people and images in (social) media. You don't know they're authentic lifestyle. The clues to your dream life and the ways in which you will embody it will be in your memories, creativity and divine insights, downloads & inspiration from your guides. The third eye space should be a beacon, a lighthouse cutting through space and time, illuminating the path to your destiny. Not a vacant control center making you a slave to what you see.
Tumblr media
if you're wondering why this post is so long, its because all of these topics root back to the workings of Jupiter (2021) and Saturn (2022- March 2025). You can watch & review so much of my older content from these time periods to help you unpack similar themes within your journey. Or you can just book a reading for direct application from your's truly.

GENERAL MESSAGES we should all take from SIDEREAL AQUARIUS ā¬‡ļø šŸŖ„
Rejection is Protection
but, just because you've felt or been rejected, ignored, abandoned and out of place doesn’t mean that you will NEVER belong. The first step of recovering from rejection is being HONEST about your pain and telling your story. Aquarius is called the water bearer, not because it's a water sign or "on the cusp". It's because water is the information, secrets and history that Aquarius holds. Aquarius is actually a cloud. Clouds hold water. Aquarius rules the sky, the wind and all things related to air. Eventually clouds get heavy and must release. Imagine parts of your life, your Aquarius house or placements being a storage of so many untold events and perspectives. That could become hard to live with, right? What happens when we don't release experiences is that it because a default setting in our subconscious, a control mechanism that we live by and project onto others. There's a way out though ; Instead of projecting experiences, you must learn not only to let them go, but to see certain experiences from an alternative perspective. One of the biggest gifts sidereal Aquarius offers us is the art of de-centering and depersonalization. When we can take ourselves out the center of offense, attention, etc. we allow ourselves to not be products environment and to understand that maybe we were someone's karma, lesson, teacher and we don't have to absorb what's happened around or to us and make a life story out of one situation. We CAN move on and live a life that's bigger and more meaningful than our disappointments.
There's nothing more important than the Present
Aquarius represents time travel and history much like its counterpart Capricorn, another Saturn ruled sign in sidereal astrology. However, what Aquarius teaches is that there's nothing more important than your present. You get to decide what time it is for you and how you will use the space you're in. Allowing ourselves to be fully present means allowing ourselves to be centered in each moment and surprised by life's unfolding. Again, we can let past events operate us on autopilot, controlling us from the subconscious. Living in the present can help us release doubts and fears. It can open us up. We can live life with more freedom and creativity.
Self Love
It's time to embrace yourself. You have to do this before you expect other's to. This goes back to not letting the external determine the internal. The more you love yourself and embrace your quirks, kinks and queerness the more you will find authentic people to connect with. It starts with you though. No one needs you more than you need yourself. Your love life, friendship, community starts with you. You have to focus on yourself to stop disliking yourself. If you can't even acknowledge yourself, how can you love yourself? How can you love yourself if always focused on someone else?
Some people are just reflections you refuse to acknowledge. Loving yourself, means being able to show up and acknowledge others that wish to show up for you. When we don't love or know ourselves well, we reject people the same ways we ourselves have been rejected. We repeat cycles. Self Loves also means allowing yourself to be surprised. Learn to deal with people individually and be willing to explore (as comfortable & needed).Ā 
Control Your Narrative and Focus
One of your biggest life lessons is that everything is not about you!!! Taking everything personally is a set up for misalignment and destiny swapping. Most of the time, things are way bigger than us. There’s a history that’s unknown and unseen. If we did a little more digging we would know not to get lost in what other’s think of us, but to take it with a grain of salt. Not too serious, not too light. Everything is never all bad or all good, find the grey area. Find the nuance ā¬†ļø Be inquisitive, figurative—but maybe not literal with everything.
Your Presence is Valuable
So you must be careful with how & where you show up. It’s true, you have haters. But you also have secret admirers and fans who absolutely adore you! You’ve learned the value of what you bring to the table and the future is bright for things you plan to create! In the absence of an audience, you find out the true nature of who you are and what you actually have to express. Your authenticity is what makes you different! You never needed an audience for that! But it is okay to desire one. Understand that who you are doesn’t have to depend on how other people respond to you.Ā It depends on the choices you make and how you show up for yourself and for others.
If you made it to the end. WOW! That means you are really a trooper!
I will stop here, but if you curious about unpacking more watch these... ā¬‡ļø

*cards pulled during LIVE TikTok reading upon entering the New Yr*
I've been online for years, sometimes obsessing over content. I'm tired. I'm starting my New Year away from social media, but before I go I want to make a final observation of where we are collectively. New Year's is a transition between one calendar year to another as well as a season change from Fall to Winter. Watch a piece of TikTok live recording to see me channel this summarized message--inspired by a participant-- in real time ā¬‡ļø
How should we step into 2025?
Spirit says the main ingredient right now (has been/will be for a while) is :
Sacred Solitude.
Sacred Solitude is pausing, quiet time, meditation, reflection and hermit mode. It's intentional time taken to recharge, recalibrate and connect with one's self. Sacred Solitude is also the key to unlocking the needs of our heart & being able to release grudges and incorporate those things/people/experiences into progressive motions. By taking time to yourself, you will be able to experience more authenticity. You'll also be able to pour differently because you will feel more grounded in your own needs and desires versus moving from a space of depletion, transaction or desperation & people pleasing. We must enter 2025 HEART CENTERED & with Compassion, Grace & Forgiveness. Being heart centered starts with recognizing what makes you uncomfortable! Moving closer to this moment many recorded readings and messages I've posted have focused on the use of DISCOMFORT (negativity, triggers, illness, dis-ease, frustrations & disappointments) as FUEL for progress. Things that hurt or disturb us in our journeys do not have to permanently stop us in our tracks. In fact, they should redirect us to the next best thing.
Discomfort should allow us to connect deeper with our heart space so that we can move closer toward our destinies & maintain alignment.
When we embrace sacred solitude we also embrace our power. Any person, place or situation consuming too much space in your life, psyche, emotions, etc. robbing you of prioritizing what's best for you should be challenged if you are a grown ass adult. Take your power back by disconnecting from the noise around you. Find your calm and center. This is the way to walk forward into the new year & the winter season :
šŸ‰šŸƒRETREATšŸ¦ššŸµ
For those of us who already embrace sacred solitude and live a heart centered life, you my friend have the work of maintenance! Don't go into this "new year" or winter season giving anyone/anything the power to make you crash out or misalign yourself! Whatever is going on externally can be solved by fixing/maintaining the relationship with the your internal.
Astrological Sky ending the calendar year 2024 / Beginning Winter 2024

New Moon in Sidereal Sagittarius šŸŽ†šŸŒš
. . . and a (almost) šŸŽ‡Happy New YearšŸ„‚ . . .
Tumblr media
Channeled Messages :
be able to identify/differentiate intelligence from ego in self & others... it's not the same thing. Intelligent people still have a willingness to learn and are aware of their own capacity to be WRONG. Some of us mistake our own or other people's ego for a teacher. The final quarter of 2024 (Fall) may have been an interesting mix of learning/initiation/grooming, all which can be experiences that intersect. This has a lot to do with Jupiter's RX through Sidereal Taurus, still currently occuring.
Recognize, even in processes of learning or incorporating new things, when something/someone is outta pocket & in their ego. It's easy to notice this when you are constantly undermined, doubted or expected to pedestalize someone/something uneccesarily or even in error. Know the role of teacher parallels w/ the student and also that they're one in the same--as I've spoken on many times in old content videos-- We are ALL simultaneously exchanging & learning lessons w/ one another.
Use this week to see(k) new perspectives, change, trust & establishing new beliefs . .
not just within yourself, but other people. Stand up for yourself/others, surprise people & express yourself without filter. Not everyone has to agree, approve or "like" your truth, experience, opinion. Some of us have been holding back all year, start 2025 getting somethings off your chest . . .
Be HONEST.
Update beliefs about your body, health, emotions and receive confirmation that you can trust what you feel, when you feel it,how you feel it--no matter who may agree or not . . .
This is also a good time frame (beginning 2025) to make up your mind about something . . .

Our ancestors are always near. Yet, sometimes they chose to reveal themselves in unexpected ways. In Fall 2023, I returned home to Louisiana after living on the East Coast for some time. It was December 2023 when I had my first memorable encounter with enslaved spirits. I was driving through Point Coupee, LA where miles and miles of immense sugarcane fields form seas on both sides of the road. It was near what I believe is the landmark of Alma Plantation I drove down the highway and felt an energy shift. As I look out the window of my car I began to see them working in those fields; Black bodies, some in dresses others in pants and long sleeved shirts. I felt transported through time. Yet, I doubted myself. Was it my imagination? Was I overthinking? No. I saw them. I'd entered a portal, visually taken back to a moment in time. They are now Spirits of the Sugarcane. It's where they dwell. I felt saddened and confused, not understanding how work that, present day, a large machine does was done with bare hands. As I continued passing through this portal, car in cruise control, experiencing this surprise, I heard a voice say. . .
"Don't feel sorry for us. . ."
Why not? Why would they not want pity? I'm not sure if I could ever empathize their hardships. So at the least, wouldn't my pity be acceptable to my enslaved kin? This experience : seeing ghosts of the past and being shifted back in time lasted all of about five minutes, but the energy and message I was left with stuck to me.
A year later, I found myself driving through Thibodaux, LA. In search of spirited things and ancestral knowledge in effort to deepen my spirituality (2020), I'd found an article about the haunted slave quarters of Laurel Valley Plantation. In this article they describe the landmark and some reported sightings and occurrences that happened there. At the time, it sparked curiosity in me. I wanted to go there, not because it was "haunted" but because it was a link to the past. To the ancestors. Finally finding my way down to those swampy parts, I decided to live a little. Immediately upon chosing to take the quest I felt nervous. I was guided down Laurel Lane by a city native. A seemingly endless stretch of road with seas of sugarcane on each side, just like in the year prior driving through Point Coupee. I could see antiquated homes and shops out in the distance. I was unsure when we'd arrive to the landmark of slave quarters because everything looked the same--old; Nonetheless, arrival to the slave quarters was undeniable. I was instantly thrown into a time capsule merely upon approach. Much like before there was an energy shift, but this time more intense. These quarters seemed to be a small village or neighborhood if you will. I've visited plantations many times, but had never been amongst this many homes of enslaved peoples at once. The Laurel Valley Plantation is the largest sugarcane plantation in Louisiana. So I guess that explains why there were so many slave quarters. There was an eerie, chill in the air. . I looked around through all windows of my car, catching as much as I could see. Braking in the middle of the road, I came to a full stop for pictures. The quarters had a familiarity to 'em. They felt no less foreign to me than a shotgun house in the ghetto of a modern day city. When I looked at these quarters the main thing I saw was parallel universes, then vs. now. There wasn't much difference. In fact, I saw one and the same.
Tumblr media
Perhaps because I remained in my car I was somewhat shielded from the rumored paranormal activities. This place is a portal just like in Point Coupee, but haunted? I don't know. I feel like haunted is for those unwelcome. When visiting a place like this, your intention determines your perspective. The spirits know why each visitor comes and just like we have the right to refuse visitors from our homes and property, so do the dead. I felt accepted in a way. Like the spirits knew my heart and why I'd come there. They knew I'm a woman of color seeking connection to elders before me. In this brief moment, no more than five minutes amongst the quarters, I could not see why anyone would say this place was haunted, but I felt it. More so, what I really felt was unsettled spirits. Before leaving the site, I turned my head to the left, getting one last glimpse of my surroundings. One ghost appeared. A young man.
He sat out on the steps of a shack close to the street. Straight face. No smile. He didn't look mad, he wasn't muggin'. His forearms rested on his knees and he wore a straw hat, brown boots, pants and long sleeved button up shirt. He skin was a dark caramel or chestnut color. He seemed like he had that potential to be charming. Handsome. He seemed like he might have been born and raised here in these quarters. A Louisiana boy, not fresh off any boat. He knew I saw him, he chose to be seen. Just like riding through the hood and seeing men sit out on house steps, gazing as cars pass by, it was nothing out of the ordinary besides that fact that I knew he was a ghost. Physically we weren't sharing the same space and time. It was as if his mere appearance challenged the premise of my visitation. Something about him said :
"I'm just a n*gga chillin' on the steps. . ."
It's as if he was trying to tell me this place wasn't haunted, but demonized by people who didn't understand these black and brown spirits. He didn't move, He just watched. Yet I could read his body language and catch his vibe. It said something I heard before. . .
"Don't pity us. . ."
I could feel his strength and dignity as he sat on those steps. The only spirit revealing himself to me, yet again leaving another message to carry on.
It's no coincidence these sugarcane fields have become the gravesite of many black and brown ancestors. There's much history lurking in the quiet, country roads of Louisiana and many southern states I imagine. I felt honored to be granted their presence, able to account a message for myself and to other melanated descendants. The ancestors want us to move on , but also not further dehumanize them. Understand we aren't that different from them and they had lives and stories outside of forced labor. Also understand that many of us are still being forced to labor under capitalism... There's just a new name and a slightly different strategy of it all. When you look at it this way you can see parallels. The world ain't changed that much, some of the changes are just in time, perspectives and labels. So pitying ancestors is the equivalent to pitying ourselves.
Ancestral Wishes :
Don't look down on us. Extract the Strength & not the pain of our experience. Use it for progress and motivation. Honor us. Allow us to live in your memories and imagination from a perspective juxtaposed with slavery. Don't insult our injuries with pity and hyper-fixation on hardship.
"We worked too hard for that. . ."

🚫 Boundaries AIN'T Automatic āŒā—ļø
Do you know the difference between needing boundaries and needing to disconnect?
Disconnection is not a boundary.
Boundaries help maintain connections mostly by managing discomforts.
There are some instances where "boundaries" are not helpful because we're never meant to get comfy and cozy in the first place. This doesn't mean you shouldn’t practice speaking up for yourself, communicating discomforts and living in your authentic expression, but it does mean recognize the bigger picture and make sure you are not too focused on managing your discomfort when you really need to disconnect.
