The forecast is more than snowy days and Christmas cookies. Major decisions are coming into play and we have to be ready for great change to occur.
Here are a few terms that will help you understand the aspects and meaning in the sky:
A "Conjunction"=Planets and points that form a conjunction are energies that are united. They are blended; therefore, they act together.
The "Square"= This aspect creates tension between the planets and points involved.
Jupiter & Pluto are squaring this week with Jupiter in Libra and Pluto in Capricorn. Jupiter in Libra means finding ways to expand looking for balance peace, and better ways for us to live our lives. Libra wants to live fair, just and balanced.
Please note:
Pluto in Capricorn means there is the death.
Venus will conjunct Pluto
The moon will conjunct Jupiter on Thanksgiving.
What this means:
All 4 planets squaring = a MAJOR death/rebirth of values and relationships that are connected to the new balance in our lives. Expect a lot of exploration, uncertainty and wide open field of opportunity before you. After this last season of Scorpio, you should have your tool bag now to help handle your fears. It's time to set sail and decisions are Paramount right now as we move into the season of Sagittarius which is all about adventure and optimism.
WELCOME TO THE TRANSITION OF YOUR LIFE
Are you ready to make really deep cuts and serious nail biting decisions?
What side of the fence will YOU sit on in this journey?
Step into what you know is good for YOU and don't let the fear of things being weird, irregular or imperfect hold you back from going towards the life you really want to live.
Knowing the forecast is more than turkeys, holiday travel plans and snow advisories.

Poem, "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" (Gil Scott-Heron)
Communing with the elders
I went down a rabbit hole to find out who the narrator was of Cannonball Adderley "Soul Zodiac" album. What I found out shocked me to say the least and I was able to receive a celestial message to pay homage to 2 April born ancestors. For this urban weather report we’ll be doing an analysis of this season’s Mars in Aquarius transit (November 7-Dec 19th)
Paying Celestial Homage to DJ Rick Holmes (died Sept 2, 2015)
I first heard Soul Zodiac in 2012 and always wondered who the astrologer was that was narrating it. As a fellow astrologer, I felt his talent was undeniable and even increased my knowledge upon listening to the whole celestial library. With jazz as a back drop he shares descriptions of all of the signs in cool spoken word-the visuals are powerful and will leave you with deeper insight of yourself and others.
For jazz great Cannonball Adderley the zodiac was so fascinating that he devoted a whole 1972 album to it. With narration by DJ Rick Holmes -noted on the album for his “sophisticated rhetoric”
SOUL ZODIAC is seductive jazz and a reflection on an era when ‘The Age of Aquarius’ captured everyone’s imagination. Take a Listen: (Make sure you find your own sign also)
Libations Offering ancestral libations, by calling out our ancestor’s name, while pouring liquid to honor their spirit, can help bring forward the energy, positive power and divine love needed to change our world. Spirit, everywhere and through everything, is calling out to all of humanity, to be manifested in all of what we do today, as the center of our existence.

Rick Holmes (April 21st) 1936= 4+2+1+1+9+3+6=#8 Life path
8 Numerology =Balance and power The number 8 is perhaps the most misunderstood of all single-digit numbers, as novices and professionals alike always seem to hammer on the "money and power" image of the 8. It is true that the number 8, more than any other number, puts the emphasis in the areas of career, business, finances and authority. the shape of the number reflects its most important attribute, and in the case of the number 8, that is, first and foremost, balance. The 8 is the great Karmic equalizer, a force that just as easily creates as it destroys. you will reap what you've sown.

More facts about Gil Scott Heron: Gil Scott-Heron was born in Chicago, Illinois. His mother, Bobbie Scott-Heron, was an opera singer who performed with the New York Oratorio Society. Scott-Heron's father, Gil Heron, nicknamed "The Black Arrow", was a Jamaican football player in the 1950s who became the first black man to play for Celtic Football Club in Glasgow. Gil's parents separated in his early childhood and he was sent to live with his maternal grandmother, Lillie Scott, in Jackson, Tennessee. When Scott-Heron was 12 years old, his grandmother died and he returned to live with his mother in the Bronx, New York City. As one of five black students at the prestigious school, Scott-Heron was faced with alienation and a significant socioeconomic gap.
Scott-Heron began his recording career in 1970 with the LP Small Talk at 125th and Lenox The album's 14 tracks dealt with themes such as the superficiality of television and mass consumerism, the hypocrisy of some would-be black revolutionaries, and white middle-class ignorance of the difficulties faced by inner-city residents. In the liner notes, Scott-Heron acknowledged as influences Richie Havens, John Coltrane, Otis Redding, Jose Feliciano, Billie Holiday, Langston Hughes, Malcolm X, Huey Newton, Nina Simone, and long-time collaborator Brian Jackson.
Mars in Aquarius (from November 9 to December 19) is a huge social experiment. Perhaps the most socially aware sign, Aquarius is the archetype that best represents the collective consciousness, with its consequences, ethical struggles, systemic issues. The transit of Mars through this humanitarian segment of the Zodiac is bound to mark a definite shift and we will all come away with the realization that no man is an island, and that every gesture we make reverberates on our surroundings, influencing conditions that surpass our individual worlds. Our actions have consequences; they’re informed, hindered or influenced by the environment we’re immersed in.
My Point: People's actions under Mars in Aquarius will be concerned with the bigger picture. Some will look at it in order to see where they fit, while others will feel compelled to define themselves in opposition to what they see.
The mutual reception between Mars and Uranus (currently transiting Aries, which is a Mars-ruled sign) will likely bring highly polarized, extreme reactions to our decision making that affects others. One thing for sure, since Mars lives in the present moment, and Uranus/Aquarius are concerned with the future, a fair share of our actions will be geared towards leaving heavy burdens in the past, and experimenting with new options at our disposal. Most of us will need plenty of room to move around while going through this process. Allowing space is key to avoid clashes and abrupt confrontations at this time, as well as respecting others’ boundaries, and honoring their need for a critical, detached evaluation. #NoPeerPressure
Our hopes, dreams and wishes are also more likely to become huge driving forces at this time. Aquarius is famous for its utopian, revolutionary mindset. Actions and reactions will be triggered by our expectations and desire for positive change. The urge to step on uncharted paths towards a better tomorrow will be strong and undeniable. You will develop an increased need to walk with those who are going in the same direction, and separate from old friends who are headed to a different place.
I saw these sisters come across my newsfeed in an article about eight black women earning their PhDs in education from Indiana University at the same time.
My first thoughts as a matchmaker were, "I Bet They're All Single": I'm starting to think that Phd="Please Help me Date".
Now I know I threw in the "m" but you know what I mean. lol. Before you start getting pissed, I'm not here to insult these sisters because I applaude black intelligence. In fact, if you've been following me, you know I'm pro "black intellectualism" as it's gonna be the very thing to help our community return to it's greatness. Hell, they may all be married and if so, Hallelujah!
To me, black nerds are the creme of the crop because they've usually developed a deeper emotional intelligence (being ostracized, odd, or unusual does this) and are over looked by the average person which makes them a true gem. Not to mention, there are a huge segment that have low std rates and no baby mommas because no one wanted to have sex with them anyway. #RealLife I must admit, I've made a point of dating black nerds and even geeks. I'm a reformed geek myself turned artist with highly developed social skills. But what we have now is a generation of socially awkward, technology dependent adults with multiple degrees and ZERO GAME. Game=An effective method of communicating with the opposite sex; the ability to screen/find quality dating candidates. I've been matchmaking for a while now and I can remember seeing this tragically play out at singles events we hosted at some of Atlanta's coolest venues.

Group Date at 8 event "Sexy Sub-Sahara" hosted at African restuarant
Group Date at 8 Event (Sexy Sub-Sahara)
My client demographic is Single Black & African Professionals (Women 33+ and Black & men 40+) These are individuals with disposal income and relatively successful in their given careers and have multiple business pursuits. I'm seeing dozens of sweet, well meaning women get played, and have terrible love experiences because their noses have been in the books- gaining no skills to navigate the dating scene and find a proper husband.
At singles events I hosted in the past, I would see brilliant black women get in front of gorgeous black men and totally BOMB. There would be sexy ambience, food, drinks, music, and they would literally have no conversation, poor body language, and strange, nervous vibes. Many times, they would even make poor style/beauty choices because they are completely in the dark about what appeals to the opposite sex. One time, I saw a Spellman Chemistry professor stare forward at a painting on a wall in total silence as we all sat in a circle eating Moroccan food at a group dating event a few summers back. There were some bad weaves, mismatched foundation, overweight bodies, cheap dresses and the list goes on in the history of our company's events. Our rosters were pre-screened and had strict appearance standards but there were times a few women slipped through the cracks and showed up to our luxury events looking a hot mess. This led to hosting Beauty Bootcamps, Full Image Consultations and Women Empowerment seminars. I saw there was a serious need for this and many of my sisters got information that many admitted never hearing before. Life can be very cruel and your friends, family will be the main people lying to you. I’ve found that the average human being lies and won’t tell you your weave sucks or your outfit looks terrible but I WILL.
Generally speaking, black women who have spent almost 8 years in school aren’t exactly the fashionista social butterfly types of the bunch and they for damn sure aren’t getting valuable experience in love, relationships or understanding the opposite sex. The love they do experience is by default because let’s face it, if you have a vagina, you’ll always be able to get some type of man even if he ain’t worth 2 dead flies smashed. I worked with a single black woman who was finishing her MBA, 42, no kids and just ended a terrible relationship with a man who had an addiction to CRACK.
It's important to note: She is overweight, makes unflattering make-up and style choices. This is not coincidence but speaks to the dating hierarchy no one wants to admit exists. One of the reasons I advocate having top physical appeal (men and women) is that it will give you access to a higher caliber of dating candidates and options. Single, wealthy, educated black men who are physically fit are not checking for obese black women that have sub par presentation, no matter how many degrees you have.
In this scenario with this single black woman- getting duped into a bad 3 year relationship by a crackhead tells me you missed some serious red flags along the way. She is no further to having children, or a healthy marriage to build a legacy and she is 42!!! In her defense, she was taking a course with me called "The 7 Types of Men"-The Art of Being A man Magnet http://seventypesofmen.doattend.com/ and admitted that she's usually aloof in most situations and doesn't notice things most people do. I’ve seen this trait in both male and female nerds alike. My heart was so heavy listening to this because she’s really a beautiful person that would make a great wife. I can tell she would be a loyal wife and be a nurturing mother. She has all the traits of a "nice girl" but NO GAME. All I could think was how she was getting dicked down by a crackhead for 3 whole years.
It takes more than this but these images I've provided are a great start to energetically releasing spirits you've picked up along the way. Most women don't realize they are delaying their perfect mate entertaining unfulfilling, toxic relationships with men that you KNOW is not your ideal match. This is what I refer to as "social clutter" and it blocks the path to receive your husband. Please understand I'm speaking from experience and I know this is a quick way to spread yourself thin especially if you have multiple sex partners. This is a huge reason black women are suffering with psychological issues, and undiagnosed mental illness. You've screwed so many men that all of them are still running around in your soul causing mental unrest and inner turmoil. I realize this is unpopular opinion but mental imbalance is on the rise in the black community and my empathic eyes see a a direct spiritual correlation to this and American whorehouse culture we've now subscribed to. Breaking soul ties is a very real thing and I'll do more posts about this.
The truth is, I see this everywhere I turn in this society of educated, career driven black single professionals who are also hopelessly single. Since 2011, I have been saying that we are in a MAJOR SOCIAL EPIDEMIC and singles are struggling to connect. What I've also found is that these people develop a cynical outlook on love and go even deeper into the socially awkward hole. Which usually looks like finding more reasons to stay in school. I have a 60 year old uncle who never married or had kids. He also was never seen with a girlfriend but was always going to school. My uncle was my father figure in a lot of ways because he chipped in and helped my mom with financial responsibilities- paid for my music instruments, tuition and several expenses during my child/young adulthood. I loved him dearly but noticed he also had some socially awkward traits that eventually made me not want to be in his presence. First, he was super religious, critical and had a closed mindset. He was also a classic "windbag" meaning he would blab on and on without consideration of your thoughts. (See anti-seducer qualities in the book Art of Seduction) He had slight social anxiety-only going to places that were family oriented. I later learned that his orientation is known as "Asexual" Asexuality is the lack of sexual attraction to anyone, or low or absent interest in or desire for sexual activity. It may be considered the lack of a sexual orientation, or one of the variations thereof, alongside heterosexuality, homosexuality and bisexuality. Developing social intelligence and knowledge of the opposite sex should be valued greater than any degree. Without this, you will bumble through the dating landscape and start lying to yourself with saying things like, “Men are intimidated by my success” , “Black men aren’t into smart women” and a bunch of other dumb feminist rhetoric a lot of my sisters have adopted. No sis, you have no mouthpiece, you are overweight, unappealing, have masculine energy, and lack feminine grace. You did NOT get your degree in that. It’s time to go to the next level and learn what will make you a great wife, mother and lover. SN: ALL of these women usually SUCK at oral sex (no pun intended) (See #1 of The 3 Types of Women that give blow jobs)http://confessionsofasagartbodysoul.blogspot.com/2016/10/when-i-was-young-single-woman-in-my-20s.html This is multi generational and we have social engineering , toxic generational curses in black love/relationships, and good ole feminism to thank for this. So I don't expect to completely address this in one post. But family, I have to be honest and just call a thing a thing and state the facts because I know what I see. We are OUT OF TIME and these are gonna be wonderful people that will bump their heads forever and most will die before they ever find true love.
For those of you in your fee fees and are offended, you already know, I don’t care. I work in the real world and I have no interest in telling lies to my people or clients at this point. Take a look....
With a little game, drastic style upgrade, fitness program, and a positive attitude, most of these hidden gems would be our best leaders and builders of society operating from a strong FAMILY UNIT. Our ancestors knew this was the key to our strength as a people. The family is the bedrock of a nation. All of these "accomplishments" are in vain if we don’t leave a legacy, create healthy black children and rebuild a new world.
In real life, I would have rocked with a brother like Tommy. He was tall, dark skinned and sexy wit a BALD head. lol. While I enjoyed Martin's fiery character (Aries) I was always drawn to Tommy's energy on the show as it seemed to be grounded, distinguished and mature with a sense of humor. He was an Alpha male that carried himself with respect. No shade, but Cole was a clown-never taken seriously in the dating world and Martin seemed like a high strung talented brotha with a slight streak of arrogance. (typical Aries) This morning, I was helping a male client navigate on the TINDER dating app and I came across a dope gif of Thomas Mikal Ford. I had sent a message and wanted to use a cheering gif as my reply. This is what popped up. Most of you know I'm a meme addict but not sure if you've noticed.... gifs are really my weakness! lol. I initially smiled but felt a wince of sadness because it hit me that this brotha is no longer in this earthly realm with us. Lucky for me, I've learned to read the beans of my own life and find messages in everything. In this moment, I had a strong emotional response so I began to dig to find the deeper message/lesson. This may sound nuts to some of you but there are some of us that see God in everything and have learned to connect the dots. Getting messages from the other side is not uncommon and our ancestors had daily rituals where they would pay homage to those that have crossed over into a different realm.
Tommy possessed and channels spirit of "Old Man Akerman to give them a message
Understanding how to communicate with other spirits is a lost art form. Many don't know that they can do this themselves if they know what to look for. Some have even asked how can a person hear God speaking and how he communicates. And my belief is "in a language that you understand" For me, this is paying attention to re-occurring themes, symbols archetypes, numbers and astrological patterns in the sky. Throughout history, we can see many examples of our ancestors using these tools to decode language from other realms-aka "sacred science/geometry". Yeah, it's gonna be one of "those" posts that may creep out some some and fascinate others.
Iconic Halloween episode with Ouija board
Turns out, in real life he was a Virgo and if you know anything about me, you'll know I speak highly of this energy in the male species and have consistently gravitated towards them in long term relationships. For me, they represented solid, reliable mean that had classic style and the hardest work ethic of the zodiac (Scorpios are top contenders). What's funny about this is his character was the shroud of secrecy about his profession but always seemed to be "workin".
SCORPIO SEASON brings a new moon and is known as the sign of the "occult". Occult=supernatural, mystical, or magical beliefs, practices, or phenomena. The occult is "knowledge of the hidden". In common English usage, occult refers to "knowledge of the paranormal", as opposed to "knowledge of the measurable", usually referred to as science. As god of the underworld Pluto brings the deepest compulsions into the light. Its position often symbolizes death, rebirth and the occult. Halloween and the political campaign falling during this time is not by accident. This is associated with spiritual changes, self development, and political power. Pluto is a force for change that can be destructive in its power- is related to will, and intense passion with a reputation for ruthlessness. (notice the current political climate-scandals, racism, etc)
The ugliest parts of the collective are being exposed and can be damn near demonic. I realize this may freak some of you out but again, this for me is scientific although most black folks believe in talking snakes, magical apples and mankind being made from ribs. Hell, even the 3 Wise Men followed the North STAR. But I digress...
During this phase of the moon cycle, one can feel an overall heaviness as we get closer to ending another year. You may even find yourself diving deep, doing personal inventory of things that no longer serve you (relationships, habits, behavior, etc) Empaths and sensitive souls can even be overwhelmed by this because you're identifying parts of yourself that need to die in order for you to ascend. #NextLevelLiving Take heart, because this can also mean letting go of old relationships and making room for new ones....with people who know you on a deeper level so you can be your authentic self.
How this showed up in my Life
Last night I was feeling very alone and at times I can feel like my own husband doesn't understand where I'm coming from. This is something I'm aware of as it's a common trait of people with a life path number of 7. (not to mention my sensitive Pisces moon) He sent me a text and said "You Are Not Alone, Art." Mind you, I had sent him a mean text prior and this was his reply despite my nasty attitude. So I dismissed it because I was in a funk and slightly on edge and felt the response wasn't "deep" enough to match my sentiment. #MoodyMoonVibes {My husband's bday is Sept 6, 1973 (same height 6,4) or as he says, "6'5 in shoes"}
Thomas Mikal Ford Bday is Sept 5, 1964 which in numerology breaks down to 9+5+1+9+6+4= (14)+(10)+(10)= 34(3+4)=7 Tommy Mikal Ford life path number is 7.
My Bday-Dec 3, 1981
1+2+3+1+9+8+1= (3) + (4) + (17)+ 1= 7+8+1= (15) +1=16 (6+1)= 7 is also my life path number. Knowing your traits from a numerical aspect is even more specific regarding your temperament and personality and what you need to work on for your life. To calculate your own and more information about numerology:http://seventhlifepath.com/numerology/life-path-number-7/ Take a look at the life of people with Life path #7: Seven is another cerebral number, and those with a Life Path number 7 have a loner quality. They need to learn to have faith. If they do not have faith they tend to become very cynical and escape through drugs, alcohol, work, and geography. Sevens have an air of mystery and do not want you to know who they are. Because you are most comfortable by yourself, a loner or introvert, you happily give up the stress and turmoil of a busy life in favor of a quiet, peaceful life of solitude. 7 is a spiritual number, and most 7's are drawn to spiritual pursuits. Your love of solitude can make it difficult for you to form close relationships. One of the challenges for you is to find a balance between maintaining your solitude while not becoming completely isolated. Seven represents spiritual focus, analysis, being original, independent; If you have this number people often feel like they don't know you; you are a mystery, and some may see you as eccentric. I wonder if Tommy struggled with any of the struggles his number suggests? (I have a sneaky feeling he did.) It's easy for people assume celebrities, public figures, ever get lonely etc in fact these are some of the loneliest people in the world and many times I feel this way. I mean let's face it, we're in a culture where we're constantly being watched, judged and criticized and social media has fed this beast. My client session this morning was with a Scorpio sister and she was sharing that she felt she lacked the support system she needed in her life. This immediately resonated with me because this was also how I felt just a few hours ago! When this happens, it's usually a feeling being experienced in the collective as well. MESSAGE: I want to encourage all of you artists, builders, creators, and empaths that YOU ARE NOT ALONE. You may feel like you don't have the right circle of people that "get" you and that's ok. If you're reading this, know there are others just like you seeking higher knowledge. This will cause your values to drastically change but you'll end up with the RIGHT people who are dedicated to your growth and seeing your dreams realized. Embrace this transformation.
