Born and raised in the South Bronx, New York (USA) I figured some thoughts, words, and musings of me would be entertaining- particularly because I say what I mean and of course I mean what I say.
Yes, I am an educated African-American woman. Yes, I am a poet. Yes, I am emotional. Yes, I am strong. Yes, I am opinionated. Yes, I am single. Yes I am an avid drinker of coffee. Yes I am in constant struggle- oh and I can not spell, so don't judge [ok maybe a bit] Don't be scared, just be willing
You are on the precipice of a new beginning, dear Gemini. Although this implies that you will just jump right in, it does not actually mean that you have to rush. In fact, you don't have to accept the opportunity of a new beginning at all if you don't want to. You can stick with the same old thing, even though you may not be happy with the status quo. It really is your choice, of course. But if you are brave, you can take a leap of faith and find something much better waiting for you.
well, here is to something new..
oh and by the way only 3 days until my birthday!
gasp~ how is a girl gonna celebrate?
strippers? [no, too greasy...]
penis? [here's to hoping...]
a trip? [why not...]
The past and the future intermingle, and the barriers between people dissolve. This marks a time of considerable inner emotional and spiritual inspiration, which will rejuvenate and redevelop your personal ideals. Your life takes on a kind of mystical quality at the emotional and instinctive levels now. There is the key to the greater psychic and spiritual sensitivity you feel now.
So I figure that today I have a greater connection to the feelings that I am feeling and the trusting of my instincts should be paramount.
There is optimism, there is faith, and there is a tendency to take chances at the deepest emotional levels. This is a time of exploring your feelings, a kind of restlessness for new emotional experience.A feeling that anything is possible if you set your sights high enough characterizes mood today.
There is so much to be said about this statement of truths here.
I am feeling that everything and anything inclusive of nothing is possible today.
And I have been trying to make this happen longer than not.
I am feeling beyond restless- because I rest less than normal
and I am trying not to take a crazy chance based on fear
or jump out of the fire and into the depths of hell.
It's a great day to enjoy the quiet comforts of home and family in a preferably soft and harmonious setting. It's a great time to reflect over the achievements and challenges you've recently faced and strongly focus on how you'll make further advances in the future.
Sometimes when you look really hard for something, you don't find it even if it's in plain sight. That's because - at that moment when we're in a panicked search - that thing we're searching for seems so elusive and so important that we think it will be impossible to find, or it will be in some unreachable place. You are looking for something now, Gemini. You are looking hard. Perhaps you've been looking for quite some time. But it is out there. You just need to relax - and instead of searching - beckon it to come to you.
An inclination to delve beneath the surface of matters to get to the bottom of them. Research uncovers new evidence that allows you to develop a better overall picture of any dramas that have been going on around you or with you involved.Try to work them out now as they have a better chance of finally having closure and resolution.
Well ain't that the cotton picking truth!
You may be simply busying yourself for the sake of being busy today. Taking on an endless string of little tasks allows you to avoid thinking about what it is you want to do with your life right now. Possibly a break from deep thought is just what you need, but sooner or later you're going to have to make some changes in your life to achieve fulfillment. The sooner you think things out the better off you will be.
and that is my definition of being a procrastinator of the things I think I need to be doing in my life...
but mainly in thinking the thoughts and having the feelings that I am having.
sigh
How you handle stubborn challenges and blockages right now can establish precedents for the future and habits that you will follow and others will expect. Don't deform, transform. Reform, don't conform. You need to be yourself as much as possible now.
Be yourself. Be myself. Myself.
Who is that lately? I am being everyone but the kitchen sink and could probably be a good one. Sigh. I need coffee...
Well isn't this the sh*t that keeps me up at night every damned night and twice on Sundays too? I mean, while I live in contribution and do 'right' as defined by Websters et. al... I am often in wonderment of this direction of life... this path I am on... this choice that the universe says I am choosing? Like really? Like I am actively choosing to be single and live without companionship and without love or without having that relationship I desire or family and children that I dreamt about. The universe is saying this is my choice? I need to see the receipts on that one, because this is not what I signed up for. I rebuke that sh*t.. But, until I get the proof that THAT is what it is, I feel like young Natalie Wood in the end of Miracle on 34th street reciting 'I believe, I believe, I know it is silly but I believe" and magically (via Santa, right?) her 'dreams' came true. I believe... I believe... I believe...
This is a good day one horoscope for the NASPA Conference in New Orleans that I am attending. I feels things are gonna be changing...
Ambitious schemes and the pursuit of success and status take on a high priority now. This brings a focus on the practical, the successful, the pragmatic - whatever it takes to get you ahead in the long run. The meek may inherit the earth, but the shrewd will collect the rent.
It may seem that circumstances, other people, or the whole world is against you today! You could feel overwhelmed by demands, outside pressures, or your responsibilities and you are looking at your life with serious doubt or pessimism. Others don't seem to help, even if they try to; solitary activity or reflection is called for now.
And let me tell you about this reflection I have been seeing myself for who I am - loving giving and supportive and seeing this place for what it is not - and by this place I mean my specific place in _______ <- insert persons life, insert family life, insert job on certain days and certainly insert love.
Changes can happen at any time in your life, that is, if you are ready and waiting for them. Every step you take today could be approaching a major turning point -- what you thought was important suddenly doesn't seem so very pressing anymore. And what you never considered much before becomes vital. This shift in priorities is long overdue. It might not be comfortable at first, but it will ultimately be the best thing that has ever happened to you.
you know what they say it is time for a shift... something about me, my mindset, my daily actions, and my reactions to this 'living life ' have got to change.. I have to start making it to the list... my list of things that are important in my life-- somehow it is always me that gets left off.. well welcome to the new year and welcome to this shift... love me or leave me alone... that's all...
I figure i should have a few different horoscopes here for the start of the year and see where it takes me.HOROSCOPES
Overview
Double hurray, all of that diligence and handwork is totally paying off in 2015, Gemini. You've fought your way through enough bumps and bruises on the road to success over the past few years, and now you're ready to truly claim your foothold and take your vision to the next level. The cosmic taskmaster is finally taking a break from your work and health zone and will only come back for brief audit and finalization this summer (June-September). So go ahead and spend the first half of the year pursuing excellent collaborations and stellar people to partner with. The other sweet news is that life isn't going to be more of that all work and no play non-sense. Relationships of the romantic variety will take priority in 2015 as well. You're learning and re-learning the art of partnering. This requires quality-time and attention, good boundaries, reciprocity and the ever-elusive balance of self and other.
One of your strongest assets in 2015 (if not always) is your mind. The difference this year is your knack for large-scale dreaming. You're totally a creative visionary as the New Year begins and that powerful and exuberant influence will push you to new heights for the first half of 2015. Ju-piter, the planet of luck, abundance and the big picture continues to light up the zone of your horoscope ruling your mind, communication, siblings and daily interactions. This makes life more playful and joyful with childlike enthusiasm all around. The only caveat is that Jupiter will be retrograde until April, so you may want to wait until spring to launch your biggest-of-the-big-shot projects, Gemini.
If you've had home improvement dreams or the fantasy of a total change of residence in your brain, the second half of the year could bring tremendous opportunity for expanding your domes-tic horizons. Lucky Jupiter will move into the base of your horoscope in August bringing a strong urge to spread out and take over more living space and land. You're ready to live large in whatever context that best supports your fabulous dreams of the moment. Mars and Jupiter will tag-team it in late September and October, so mark your calendars for your new home or biggest renovation project during that time. Don't worry dear; you should be making enough cash to support some pimped out, extravagant living. Dreamy Neptune continues to bring the glamour to your career zone for the fourth year in a row. You're starting to get the hang of feeling and living like the rockstar you are, Gem!
Romantic
Neither you nor your twin take kindly to being backed into a corner, Gemini. When it comes love, you like to keep it light and the commitment as open and flexible as possible, for as long as possible. The only problem with that is when you find a total catch and the clock is ticking in the 'maybe' zone. This year the stakes are sky-high. If you haven't already landed your dream twin, you will. And if you're still hemming and hawing with the one that arrived in 2014, expect to go committed or go home (alone). The pressure is totally on because Saturn is taking residence in your partner zone for the next few years, Gemini. The cosmic taskmaster doesn't mess around with the superficial and requires the long-haul dedication. You're being tested on your commit-ment level and ability to define the boundaries and structures around relationships. If you abso-lutely don't want or feel ready to settle down, you'll have to define some seriously integrated single-hood for yourself in a way that feels steady and grounded. The point is not to waver or sit on the fence. Try that, and Saturn will most definitely bring you to your knees before the year is finished.
To double-up on this love theme (and you're all about the doubles, twinstar), the North Node of Fate will continue to bless your house of romance again this year. The magic and (possibly ob-session) that began last year could easily go to the next level. If you're not in love with a human, this could be your love of a creative project or child. If you're in the market for making babies, you have the support of destiny to help you bring a new child into this world, even if only a crea-tive baby or adoption of a new pet. The choice is always yours, Gemini. The only caveat in the love department is not to lose touch with your friends by putting all of your eggs in the love bas-ket. Your social circle is starting to miss you and your buddies could totally use some quality time before another year goes by. Finding the balance is never easy or fun, but friends are every-thing.
Career
You're finally feeling unfettered and fancy free in the work department, Gemini. All of the pressure and obstacles you encountered in 2014 should now be put to rest. The only exception comes between late June and September when Saturn backs up into your work zone to help you tie up any loose ends or unfinished business. Be sure you have your daily schedule running like a well-oiled machine by then. That gives you the first half of the year to get your act in tiptop shape, Twinstar. Your creativity is totally off the charts between the ongoing presence of the North Node of Fate amping up your playful side and Jupiter amping up your mental sector with big ideas. Oh, and add the ongoing Neptune brilliance lighting up the top of your chart in the most visionary and inspired way possible. It's nearly impossible for you not to create something gorgeous, glamorous and innovative. You've also got the breakthrough energy of Uranus in your sector of friends and collaborators to assure that you attract some radical thinkers to keep your career path fresh and ahead of the curve. The more you're willing to take risks with your long-term goals and dreams in 2015, the more generous the payback.
June (your birthday season) jumpstarts a crazy productive spell for you, Gemini. You'll have Mars powering up your stars and then Jupiter moving to the base of your chart in August to give you another dose of inspiration and luck. Late September is definitely a total work surge for you when Mars and Jupiter join forces to turn you into nothing short of a creative factory. If you've gotten a bit ahead of yourself, you can use the Venus Retrograde phase to slow down and catch up with your soul. That sweet slowdown comes just in time for summer. If you have failed to take a proper summer vacay in years (which is most likely the naughty case), no more excuses, Twins. This is your year to mix the business with the pleasure for a change. You'll have enough success to finance a killer vacation. What are you waiting for? Get on the horn and put some se-rious leisure time on the 2015 calendar before all of the space gets filled up. You know that when you blink, you're fully booked.
GEMINI (MAY 22 - JUNE 21)
For nine months of this year, the intense presence of Saturn will be moving through your sector of relationships.
With a potent Solar Return at the start of the year in your sector of possessions, you can find yourself being uncharacteristically much more focused on any commitments you have or taking new romantic opportunities more seriously.
Understanding what you really need in relationships is key to this but also of being conscious of what other people require from you.
Professional hopes are boosted from March 20 for the following six months and you will have an opportunity to demonstrate your flair and creativity and make an impact on decision makers.
Work pressures can be greater across the summer months, but if you adapt your fitness regime and diet you can cope with this well. You could also find yourself more serious about your resources all through this year. You can do very well in any business or enterprise where you use your communicational skills well or through involvement with technology.
As Jupiter moves in August, more homely considerations can occupy your thinking. This can spur you to grow your family, or bring news of a happy celebration from someone else in your clan.
You might even find yourself looking for a new home with a possibility of moving before the year comes to a close, and this can be aided by the Solar Eclipse of October, and Jupiter’s transforming angle to the planet of change, Pluto.
Emotions, prejudices, or unresolved issues from the past come up in your interactions with others now, and you may not be very objective. This is a good time to speak up and clear the air of any grievances you have been holding on to for some time. Personal subjects are the topic of discussion now. Reminiscing, remembering, daydreaming about and reflecting on the past is likely.
Something to think about and listen to my heart/-/ although it's been broken and abused and ignored it has carried me thru. Throughout your life, your heart and mind take turns at the wheel -- it's the perfect way to keep you as balanced and as healthy as possible. Right now, you're definitely tilting toward letting your heart take control. Things may seem logical, but truth be told, your heart knows the right path to take. Obey your emotions and do whatever you feel is right. Don't shy away from taking a risk, because you have a lot of emotional growth opportunity.
