Love in The Sky

Welcome to the Mystical Intelligence blog!

Love in The Sky is blaring from my over-the-ear headphones. The rhythm making its way into my bones. My body begins to twist into the metaphysics of my aura. Taking me to new heights of the emotional mind. Peeping into an hourglass looking into where I would lay my head and lips. So soft were the heartbeats of those beautiful people.

In between every verse, I hear my heavy breathing. The softness of my skin touches my beloved lovers. A mountain so high I see a futon where my lovers and I can rest. Climaxing as we rubbed skin to skin. With no worries about the past, present, or future.

Abel

Abel Makonnen Tesfaye, aka The Weeknd, was born on February 16, 1990, in Toronto, Canada. His mother and grandmother migrated to Canada from Ethiopia in the 1980s. According to the media, Abel was a party animal and later as he was working found himself doing music. At first, Abel was releasing his music mysteriously on youtube with different women on his cover albums. As a fan of Abel's work back in 2014, I could relate to his melancholy, and the transcending beats of his music.

Love in the Sky on Repeat

After listening to the song on repeat. I decided to dig deeper into the meaning behind Love in The Sky. In Love in The Sky, Abel speaks of a woman (stripper) he falls in love with while on tour. Immediately my fingers grasped a pen and paper. I flipped on my laptop to search for Abel’s natal chart to get an understanding of how his astrology influences "Love in the Sky" and its success.

When I cast Abel's chart I took a look at his Sun, Moon, and Rising. His Sun is in 27 degrees of Aquarius in the 8th house (a ha!), his moon is in 17 degrees of Scorpio ( aha! aha!), and AC (Rising) is in Cancer! Woowee, Abel’s natal chart is emotionally deep!

Abel Makkonnen Tesfaye

Born February 16, 1990, in Toronto, Canada

Moon-Pluto Conjunction | 5th House Story

After casting the chart my eyes took me to Abel's 5th house story. The moon is 17 degrees of Scorpio and Pluto is 17 degrees Scorpio conjunct each other. During Abel's youth, there was strife between him and his mother due to misunderstandings. This Moon-Pluto conjunction also points to the powerful matriarchal line in his life- mother and grandmother. At some point, Abel left his home in Toronto, Canada to escape this Plutonian relationship with his maternal figures. Roaming the streets for the next escape to free himself and the mind. Eventually, Abel landed a job and after meeting music producer, Jeremy Rose upstarted his music career.

Support through his talent | Sextile

This Moon-Pluto conjunction is deep! This conjunction s supported by a sextile to his Mars + Venus+ Saturn Capricorn in the 7th house. Abel desired to be in deep relationships with others but felt alienated. Hence he sings of his melancholy surrounding woman and dark sex while escaping from these experiences with drugs. At that time, he wanted to be understood and loved but found it a challenge. However, Abel transformed his melancholy by releasing these deeply felt emotions through his vocal cords.

Collective Consciousness | Jupiter 12th House Story

His singing escaping into the ears of the collective consciousness with Jupiter in Cancer (exalted!) in the 12th house. Abel brought healing to many. Even today as I listen to his more classic albums like Kiss Land, I have found that the majority of people speak about how he brings them a sense of healing in their darkest moments. I've even seen a comment where someone wrote how Kiss Land is such a Plutonian (transformative) song. I couldn't agree more.

Abel didn’t keep his dark sexual fantasies in the closet. With his Sun in Aquarius in the 8th house, he exposed taboos surrounding darkness, sex, and drugs in a way that opens the collective emotional sphere. As result, his music helped to expand his and his fan’s consciousness into the cosmos by giving light to deep emotions and pain.

Musical talent | Imum Coeli in Libra

Furthermore, as I was exploring Abel's chart I realized a connection in the origin of his musical talent! Abel's IC (Family, Land, Ancestors) is in Libra. I sense his musical artistry was an ancestral inclination and innate gift for Abel. Also, he pioneered a new music genre never heard of before. His sun in the 8th house allows Abel to explore his musical talent in the areas of darkness, death, and sex. Though his music has evolved there's an appreciation for what he offers through his music to the world.

After 12+ years of such beautiful music, Abel has reached a level of success in his musical career. Remnants of his classics like Kiss Land, Trilogy, Thursday, and even today with the song Creepin' continue to touch the souls of thousands of listeners. Check out his most recent song Is There Someone Else? It’s his newest song. Thanks to this artist for shedding light with his artistry.

Thank you

I’ve been working on this writing for the past 2-3 weeks. Weeks of listening over and over to many of The Weeknd’s songs and delineating. This piece of writing is just one interpretation of The Weeknd. My goal is not to assume what Abel went through in his life but rather to shine a light on his musical transcendence. May this blog bring you light! Thank you for reading.

Venus in Pisces | Love is in the Air

Welcome to the Mystical Intelligence blog! Today’s topic is Venus in the sign of Pisces. What that means for us collectively. Also, I share a tarot spread my personal spread: Balance, Beauty, and Pleasure to honor the month of love.

What does Venus in Pisces mean? Venus is the planet of beauty, love, pleasure, money, and style + how you attract others. Pisces is mutable, water sign (think about it as m for moveable water). Pisces is the 12th sign of the zodiac. Some of the characteristics of Pisces include depths of dreams, mysticism, and being lost in the sauce with romantics. Pisces is one of the creatives of the 12 signs. Venus moving into the sign of Pisces is what astrologers refer to as an exaltation. Exalted planets like Venus in Pisces feel most potent and can function at their highest potential. In the case of Venus in Pisces, which transited into it’s center stage on January 26th will be at highest peak on Feburary 15th at 7:43 pm and will remain in Pisces until March 12th. it’s as if love meets love. Love is in the air!

From my point of analysis, if you are trying to become pregnant, tie the knot or explore the land of love with/ without another or others (not everyone is monogamous) this is prime time. If you are single and just want to mingle this a great time to do so. Remember to have fun! Bask in the pleasures this transit brings. If you find this transit is difficult remember to find yourself within the land of love. You’ll be amazed the gems you’ll find.

Let’s get into my very special tarot spread: Balance, Beauty, Pleasure.

What you'‘ll need:

-Tarot or oracle deck

-An relaxed mind, body and spirit to recieve guidance

Crystals for Your Sun + Rising Signs

Welcome to the Mystical Intelligence blog topic ~ Crystals for Your Sun + Rising Signs.

It’s Libra season! There is a New Moon in Libra, which means the sun and moon sit next to each other. During the New Moon phase, we can begin anew and start fresh even if the cycle we're coming out of is dark.

Mercury the planet of communication, and learning is in Virgo the sign -the worker bee- but stationed retrograde until October 4th (approximately depending on location). These astrological influences and energies bring great times of respite to think and plan the new journey we are about to embark on this moon cycle.

To welcome the Libra season and all other energies, I’ll like to share a tiny crystal guide for your sun and rising sign. The crystals are suggestions for amplification, body, and healing. The guide is a mix of my crystal and astrology knowledge + intuition.

First, let me define the sun + rising sign for those who are new or just starting Astrology. The moment we are born stars, planets, and asteroids align in a certain way in the sky. We have the Sun Sign (Birthday), which is our essence, where we shine the most, what we came to do and how we navigate the world. The Rising Sign (Asc or Ascendent) is where the sun was rising at the moment of birth in the East. The rising sign plays a significant role in how we live out the sun sign. Think of the Sun as the car and the rising sign as the driver.

In the following, look for your Sun sign first. Proceed to look up your rising sign. Lastly, body placements are in the video provided below. Each zodiac sign has a corresponding body part.

If you are unfamiliar with your sun or rising sign, consider booking an Astrology consultation with me to explore your birth chart.

Guide

Aries (The Ram): Red Corral

Taurus: (Bull): Emerald + Pink Opal

Gemini (Twins): Moonstone

Cancer (Crab): Ruby gemstone or raw form

Leo (Lion): Carnelian +Peridot

Virgo (Virgin): Smokey Quartz + Blue Sapphire

Virgo | The Divine Feminine

Welcome to the Mystical Intelligence blog topic ~ Virgo Season | Body, Divine Feminine + Yod!

We're a few weeks into the beautiful Virgo Season. It's getting a little chilly here in New York City and a bit darker, but I enjoy it because it's given me time to rest and re-align. Before diving into the connections, I want to discuss in the blog; I'll like to share a few details: Virgo is the 6th zodiac sign and lives between Leo's fires and Libra's sweet-scented air. I imagine Virgo using the fire of Leo to create and Libra's air to incubate ideas and knowledge. The season runs from August 23rd-September 22nd. Aries-Virgo marks the 1st half of life, baby, childhood, and adolescence. In contrast, Libra- Pisces marks adulthood and old souls.

In the Tarot, Virgo corresponds to Key IX, the Hermit. It's the overarching archetype of the seer. An old-bearded seer is holding a lamp illuminating the path for those who follow behind them.

In Astrology, Virgo is mutable-earth (moveable Earth) and relates to the 6th house of the body, health, service, and work. Mercury, the personal planet of commerce, communication, and ideas, is Virgo's ancient ruler.

In Greek Mythology, Virgo is Persephone, the daughter of the Earth goddess Demeter. She’s symbolic of the virgin, soon to be abducted by Hades (God of the Underworld). Hades takes her to the underworld. The story is that Perspheny remains 6 months out of the year in the underworld. During Spring, she rises to Earth for the next 6 months until it’s her time to go back. From my perspective, Persephone loses a part of her Divine Feminine when she’s abducted, but she reclaims it when she’s above ground.

Divine Feminine in Virgo Season

In my analysis, Virgo is a connection of purity, body + mind, and changes on Earth. Of course, this came through as I wrote a community newsletter. In the process, I felt a connection between Virgo and the Divine Feminine. When we take the time to connect to the body, however that looks, we find the feminine divine with us. Remembering the divine fem is available to everyone. Everly is changing us as needed, similarly to Earth's constant changing season.

The first step is to be conscious of the physical body by showing signs of care, love, and kindness. Then, the body becomes a vehicle that takes us to a place where we can connect to the old-bearded seer—illuminating our divine self and making adjustments to improve the situations in our life for the better. Secondly, we can connect to the divine by listening to Earth's natural rhythms and sounds, and lastly, dance and work with the pelvic space to upstart our relationship with the divine.

Yod: The little with so much

Yod, or Yud, is a letter in the Hebrew Aleph-Bet. The Aleph-Bet has 22 letters; in Kabbalah, each letter corresponds to a Major Arcana (Archetype) in the Tarot. The Hermit corresponds to Yod, which has a gematria of 10 (value 10). 10 the beginnings and endings. We start at square 1 or end the cycle. Ten is also related to the 10 spheres on the Tree of Life. Beautifully, Yod is the hand of God or the divine. An open hand to the human being.

In the Secrets of the Hebrew Letters, Rabbi Avraham Arieh Trugman mentions that Yud is the beginning of creation - the Big Bang Theory. We grow to become something from that tiny atom. Similarly, the Yud is the little with so much. It's the flame that burns over the candle and in the lamp of the Hermit. Illuminating all within us is essential and gives us the vitality to live. Each of us has so much potential that we cannot see. It’s the little within us that so much! The limitless potential we have to make Earth better. The Divine Feminine is one of those illuminations within us.

This oracle message is for you:

I love every inch of my body. I love the women [people] in my life fiercely -Meggan Watterson

Key IX: The Hermit

May you find your divine and limitless potential this Virgo-Licious season!

The Great Mysteries | Stone Reference by Shayla M. Rose

Welcome to the Mystical Intelligence Blog ! I am honored to share The Great Mysteries Stone Reference. One of many tools I love are stones because of their beautiful and unique energy. As a practitioner, I incorporate stones for holistic healings. For months, I’ve saved the reference. Recently, I felt a need to release the reference from my filing cabinet into the mystical world as an aid for amplification, health, and wellness. Furthermore, I researched the stones to ensure they are suitable for people’s astrological placements and practical use.

Stones were intuitively selected for the zodiac signs. Planetary correspondences are based on the Navratna (9 gemstones). The 8th gemstones Hessonite Garnet correspond to Rahu (Ascending Lunar Node aka North Node in Western Astrology). The 9th gemstone is Cat’s Eye corresponds to Ketu (Descending Lunar Node) aka South Node.

May The Great Mysteries Stone Reference serve you well. I share gratitude for my teachers-their teachers and guides.
