New Years Eve: @strofiend's 2016 Reflections and my 100th BLOG POST!!!!!

2016 was an overall a sucky year. In numerology 2016 (2+0+1+6=9) is a 9 year representing a cycle of completion, endings, death, karma, etc. When things end or in the process of ending, it can be scary and downright traumatic. You know that feeling, whether it's a break up, realizing you are not cut out for something or the 2016 US Presidential Elections. You feel ansty, uneasy, and you are filled with doubt and anxiety. At first you try to avoid it, ignore it but it doesn't go away. Suddenly a defining scary moment happens and you realize ooh shit, this is happening. Endings is a symbol of this scary inevitable thing call change. As humans we see change as evil (a necessary one). This year was hard and scary but necessary. It fucked us (me), but somewhere down the line, we realize that we must grab that big hard rod, force it out of our orifices and take control. Yes we were fucked but in our state oftentimes our post state of fuckery we realize their is an opportunity, a chance to start over.

That's what 2017 represents. In numerology 2017 (2+0+1+7=10 reduced to 1) is a 1 year representing new beginnings. It's a chance to start over. FYI every year is chance to start over. But after that major fuck fest of 2016 there is a surge of urgency to start over and fuck life. This time we have the big hard rod. Not only that but we had that big hard rod all along that we were violently fucking ourselves (well most of the time).

P.S. the number nine in astrology is closely associated with Jupiter and Sagittarius the 9th sign of the zodiac, so there is a philosophical, spiritual approach attached to this year. Aka God wasn't being mean or evil, there is a lesson/purpose to all of this. Btw mercury is in retrograde so we are realizing this shit.

FYI sorry for that graphic description. I have mercury in my 8th House/mercury widely squared Uranus and sometimes (not all the time) I say weird, fucked up shit. It's ok though because it's almost 2017, you'll forgiven me by then. :)

Final FYI, this is my 100th post, a personal goal of my for this blog. I am proud of myself. :) Anyways have a wonderful New Years Eve, be safe, happy, and blessed. New Years Eve is still 2016 aka still a 9 year so don't do no crazy retardo next shit cuss you may die. Wait till 12:01 am

theastrofiend AstroTube: Capricorn YouTube Personality: Naptural85 aka Whitney White

One of my favorite Age of Aquarius Natural Hair Gurus, Naptural85 aka Whitney White. She's an inspiration and I admire her for connecting other naturalistas to embrace their hair textures and more importantly themselves. I've been wanting to write about her natal chart forever. I did it once a couple of years ago; that was totally wrong (Moon in Virgo smh). Anyway I got a key piece of information from her Draw My Life Video (link here). And yes I'm that creepy astrofiend in Orange is the New Black that lick Piper's forehead (LOLZ). Whitney White, Naptural85's government name she mentions she was born in Rhode Island. I used the capital Providence, RI for the city (which can totally be wrong too) but imma go with it.

Naptural85's astro information.

Sun & Neptune in Capricorn conjunct

Whitney's Sun & Neptune are conjunct in Capricorn. This shows that her ego/personality (Sun) is aligned with her dreams/fantasies/illusions/delusions (Neptune) are working together. This means she is motivated by her dreams. It rules and inspires her. This can make someone a bit delusional and living in fantasy land but it's in Capricorn (a practical earth sign) so it isn't as extreme/dangerous.

Moon & North Node in Taurus

Whitney's Moon & North Node are in Taurus. This shows that she is stable, practical, and stubborn emotionally . She craves earthy pleasures and security and is motivated by this. Since her North Node is in Taurus her destiny/life path (North Node) aligns with her emotions. She wants to build something sustainable but also lasting. Her Sun & Neptune trines her Moon & North Node in another Earth sign, so her dreams are definitely possible and constantly part of her vision.

Venus, Mercury, Uranus, & Saturn in Sagittarius

Whitney's Venus, Mercury, Uranus, & Saturn are in Sagittarius. This is interesting because this a large amount of fire energy. It's interesting to note that her husband, Felipe is a Sagittarius (I did his natal chart, I can be wrong but I remember that his moon was in Capricorn which kinda drives me crazy with all that astro synchronicity). I think their daughter Olivia, a Scorpio btw has her Venus or Moon in Sagittarius I forgot). Smh I guess I am officially a stalker freak #astrofiend. lolz. Whitney sense of beauty/relationships (Venus), her communication style (Mercury), her sense of rebellion (Uranus) and responsibility (Saturn) is in Sagittarius.

This shows that she's all about freedom, exploring, learning, and optimism. I mean just the details of her life. She's black and her husband is Brazilian (I'm down with this swirl). Venus in Sag is definitely down with the swirl. She's a graphic designer by trade but decided to break into a new frontier by making videos on the world wide web. She rebelled against society and the black community's perception/definition of black beauty and hair. A modern day technie explorer. Like there was a time when people feared putting themselves out in the internet. Now look at everything.

Anyway all this Sag energy gives her the fearlessness, bravery, faith, security, and self-belief to keep herself going. She's earthy but she isn't  all that traditional, pragmatic and stiff. Without all this Sag energy I don't think her dreams/aspirations would be able to move forward. She's able to bounce back with amazing quickness and resilience. 

Jupiter in Aquarius

This is the kicker. Whitney's Jupiter is in Aquarius. This is the Age of Aquarius calling to her. Aquarius has the ability to spot and predict future trends and is gifted with incredible foresight. Her Jupiter's in Aquarius so her beliefs and faith is in a future where everyone can be themselves, love their hair/features and create their own careers/future. Aka a hipstery, Utopia complete with Apple products and mixed children.

Pluto in Scorpio

Self explanatory. 

As you can see I really like this YouTuber. Anyway feeling really inspired looking at her chart. It's crazy how a chart fits and bends to her (and a person's unique experiences. :) My friends astrology is real (sorry Neil Degrasse Tyson and Bill Nye the Science Guy).

Capricorn Prince of the Pluto in Scorpio Generation: LeBron James

For Capricorn, the Prince of the Pluto in Scorpio Generation is LeBron James. More like King but also no not really (no false idols and all). I was thinking Michelle Obama for this one but Lebron James has a slight edge. 

LeBron James is part of this generation (Pluto in Scorpio). Like Taylor Swift, he is model/relatable to members of our generation. Understands and has got the currents and undercurrents of this generation down. More importantly his story is that of Winning, Fame, & Fortune (which pretty much what everyone from my generation wants). His story is also of rages to riches, overcoming obstacles, control, power and mastery of one's own realm. This being very Plutonian. Btw the First Lady is definitely gonna get a blog post later on. 

Anyway let's get into Lebron James astrology. His astrotheme profile link here

Sun, Neptune, & Jupiter in Capricorn

LeBron James has Sun, Neptune, & Jupiter in Capricorn. Sun is conjunct  Neptune in Capricorn. LeBron literally dreamed the impossible dream, made it happen and accomplished it. Capricorn is ambitious, hard-working, patient, and suave. Even in wishy, washy, illusionist Neptune, Capricorn strives and reaches it's goals.

LeBron James has Jupiter in Capricorn (in the 8th House) . Jupiter in Capricorn expands and places value, belief and faith in earthly material wealth; which is a goal. He accomplished this and plenty more.

North Node in Taurus 

LeBron James also has North Node in Taurus. Having North Node in Taurus supports his Capricorn/Jupiterian energy and makes him search for and seek financial and earthy stability and bountifulness. 

Moon & True Lilith in Aries

LeBron James with Moon in Aries has a competitive warrior spirit and nature. Strong, never give up, never quit emotions. A heart of a champion, winner, and athlete. 

True Lilith in Aries is uncontrollable, unstoppable, and unashamed. Filled with anger, rage, but also passion and fierceness Lebron James Lilith keeps him inspired and on his game.

Mercury in Sagittarius 

LeBron has Mercury in Sagittarius which gives him the mental strength and mentality of a champion. Hungry and forever an optimist, his mercury in Sagittarius cheers up his otherwise pragmatic and melancholy Capricorn/Saturnian energy.

Venus in Aquarius

LeBron James with Venus in Aquarius represents the extra-ordinariness of a common man (Age of Aquarius anyone?). He is a champion of everyday people. A hometown glory for Cleveland/Ohio. He manages to have both ego and a strange sense of down to earthiness. He has a humanitarian/philanthropist leanings. In the pass he has supported the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement and donated money/created a charity to help young students go to college.

Pluto & Saturn in Scorpio.

LeBron James with all his Capricorn energy is also supported tremendously with Scorpio/Plutonian energy. His Pluto and Saturn  is in Scorpio. In this fact there is a lethal dose of Saturn (control, power, boundaries, repression, responsibilities) and Pluto (control, power, intensity and transformation). Scorpio and Capricorn together results in winning, coming back from defeat winning; mastering his realm (basketball). All with razor sharp precision and focus. He doesn't let his ego, fame, or fortune distract him from his ultimate goal (winning and being the best he can be).

Overall LeBron James is the Capricorn Prince of the Pluto in Scorpio Generation because he is a testament and inspiration to the power, intensity of human will and might while being incredibly Capricornian and Plutonian. 

P.S. I am not a basketball fan/expert or fangirling. These are just facts.

Ode to the QUEEN of Capricorn SHADE: Tiffany "New York" Pollard

This is a bit old school, but this shade right here takes the cake for shade for the Earth sign chicks (cuss my other two picks were kinda wack). Anyways I chose Tiffany "New York" Pollard. She's a reality star from the 2000s'. She is known for being in Flavor of Love, her own spin off "I Love New York," and most recently the UK's Celebrity Big Brother.

I was gonna go with Steve Harvey, but he's a comedian so his shade kinda doesn't count/goes with his act. Instead I chose New York because Capricorn shade is good. It's kinda like Virgo shade accept not as annoying. Capricorn shade hits you. Usually later, not now. It's bougie, stush gal high class shade that makes you think. Capricorns have a way with words like no other sign. Check out Carla from Mob Wives, she is shady AF.

Whatever the case let's get into Tiffany "New York" Pollard astrology. Her astrotheme profile link here

Air Grand Trine

First and foremost Tiffany New York Pollard has an Air Grand Trine.  Tiffany has Moon in Gemini, Mercury & Venus in Aquarius (retrograde) conjunct, & Saturn, Mars & Pluto in Libra. This is the shade foundation. An Air Grand Trine gives someone excellent, effective, and great communication & social skills.

Mercury & Venus (Venus retrograde) in Aquarius conjunct

Tiffany "New York" Pollard's Mercury & Venus (Venus is  in retrograde) are in Aquarius conjunct. This shows that she is an original, inventive, slightly rebellious & unique communicator (Mercury). She says the most random & unexpected things without shame. 

Venus in Aquarius retrograde shows that her Venus energy (beauty, love, relationships) is directed drawn inwards making it powerful and meaningful. She values independence, uniqueness, and the ability to be yourself/speak for yourself. She is constantly rebelling without a cause. She craves unconventionality and often behaves that way in relationships. Though this energy is powerful it is also confusing to express, often causing one to self-sabotage until they can figure out how to work around their peculiar-ness.

Moon in Gemini opposite Uranus

Tiffany has her Moon in Gemini opposite Uranus. This means her emotions (Moon) are changeable, unpredictable, and rebellious (Uranus). Her Uranus is in Sagittarius. This translates to her shade being playful (yet mean), funny (yet a bit fucked up); and overall all over the place. One minutes she's mad, the next laughing, then crying, then apologizing, then mad all over again. She is full of idiosyncrasies.

Saturn, Mars & Pluto in Libra

Tiffany has Saturn, Mars & Pluto all in Libra. All this Libra mutes her shade over the topness, making it less harmful in delivery. Her mouth is lethal but her actions/behavior is relatively harmless. She can say the most awful things but at the end of the day people may not like her but they don't hate her. Libra is very charming, I mean look at Vladimir Putin. He's a Libra (ironically with a Gemini moon) and though he's despised he is not hated (not in the way Hitler is anyhow).

Anyway New York's Mars in detriment (mode of action) is intense, powerful and forever transforming (Pluto) to the point where she has to establish boundaries and responsibilities (Saturn). In the realms of relationships and relating to others. Throwing shades gives her the ability to express herself, her anger, emotions, and individuality in a way that appeases her Libran sensibilities (fairness, passive aggressiveness, maintaining the prettiness, etc.). Notice that she makes personal attacks/shade others appearance (which is soo Libra).

Saturn & Jupiter (Jupiter in Scorpio) conjunct Pluto

This shows that she is constantly has urges of repressing/limiting (Saturn) and expanding/exploring (Jupiter) with support (conjunct) from Pluto (transforming). Her Saturn, Jupiter, and Pluto all support each other and act in each other's interests.

Sun in Capricorn

This is the cherry on top her shade sundae. Capricorn is traditional, classy, and doesn't like to make scenes be crass. Even though she is extremely ratchet and ghetto. New York still maintains a "classy professional persona" (in the world of reality entertainment btw. You don't hear her getting arrested or constant drug & relationship problems from the media.  As a Capricorn she is always in control of herself (even if she's not in control of her mouth). She is also willing to exploit herself for a quick coin; but still maintains her dignity/privacy. She's ambitious and is at the top of field (in terms of reality show glory and ratchetness). She is a household name for this sector of entertainment.

Chelsea/Bradley Manning: Sagittarius Trans Whistleblower

This would've been my Prince/Princess of the Pluto in Scorpio Generation pick for Sagittarius. I didn't chose this because not many people are aware or know who Chelsea/Bradley Manning. Also Manning's story doesn't has mass appeal/connects to everyone as Taylor Swift does. Regardless Chelsea/Bradley Manning has an interesting story.

Chelsea/Bradley Manning is a trans whistle-blower who leaked classified US government documents to Wikileaks. Kinda like Edward Snowden, actually exactly like Edward Snowden. I written an blog post on him here.

Chelsea/Bradley Manning astrotheme profile linked here

Sun, Mercury, Saturn & Uranus in Sagittarius

Chelsea/Bradley Manning has a huge Sagittarius stellium with Sun, Mercury, Saturn & Uranus in Sagittarius. In reference to him betraying the government he probably felt he was called to do; that it was his civic duty. With all that Sagittarius energy there is a sense of righteousness and morality. In his case, a sense of rebellious (Uranus) righteousness and morality to do this.

Jupiter in Aries

His Jupiter is in Aries, so there is a fighting warrior nature in him./her Very much like Tommy Sotomayor (blog post link here). With an abundance of Sagittarius energy and a Jupiter in Aries;  Chelsea/Bradley Manning saw himself as a freedom fighter.

Moon, Mars & Pluto Conjunct in Scorpio.

Chelsea/Bradley Manning has Moon, Mars & Pluto Conjunct in Scorpio. These are heavy placements, and it shows the intense, dark, secretive, powerful, murky nature of Chelsea/Bradley Manning. Why did he do what he did? He felt strongly about this (Moon) and acted on it (Mars) in a way that effects/will effect his generation (Pluto).

It's funny to note that Chelsea/Bradley Manning is a Sagittarius Sun, Scorpio moon and Edward Snowden is a Gemini Sun, Scorpio moon. Their like two sides of the same Espionage coin!

Venus & Neptune in Capricorn

Chelsea/Bradley Manning has Venus & Neptune in traditional, serious, practical and earthy Capricorn. Though they are not conjunct this shows that his sense of beauty, love (Venus) & illusion, fantasy (Neptune) work together  This can further point to his trans status and need to find/live in his/her identity. This can also point to Chelsea/Bradley Manning being serious (even a bit delusional) about his civic duty.

North Node in Pisces

This placement is sensitive and shows someone born to self-sacrifice/be a sacrificial lamb. Chelsea/Bradley Manning gave himself that role. Not only that but he was born to play that role. He gave up his life/freedom for a cause outside of his own.

theastrofiend AstroTube: Sagittarius YouTube Personality: Tommy Sotomayor

I decided to do a blog post or AstroTube post on Sagittarius YouTube Personality: Tommy Sotomayor. IF you don't know who is he google and watch one of his videos. He is the controversial, hold no bars, anti Political correctness, Free Speech, Men's Right activist, satirist radio show host. He is known for his tirades known as "ethers" (google Jay Z vs Nas beef) against black women and the black community & celebrity beefs/arguments (Jill Scott, Steve Harvey, Tariq Nasheed, etc.). He "reports" on some of the most crazy, intense, sad news stories in a comical, satirical style.

Some of his most crazy, click bait YouTube video titles (google it yourself if you don't believe me)

The Ugliest B!tch Possible Arrested For Throwing Hot Grease On Police Officers & Their K 9! 

Fetty Wap Looking Beast Arrested For Taking Her 3 Year Old Child With Her On Drug Deals!

Anyways enough introduction, let's take a quick look at his astrology. I don't have time of birth, confirmed birthplace, but I do have a birth date but imma run with this.

Another Screenshot of possible birth information

Born December 11th 1975 in either Atlanta, Georgia or Colon, Panama. I did birth charts for both these cities and his planets barely changed.

Sun, Mercury & Neptune in Sagittarius

He has a stellium in Sagittarius which partially explains his outspoken, honest, and frank speaking/communicating style. This also explains his reach/popularity.

Moon either in Aries or Pisces

For the charts I did both put his moon in 0 degrees Aries. I am not to certain his moon is in Aries, it could be in Pisces. But I am making a blind guess and saying his moon is in Aries. An Aries Moon would trine his Sun, Mercury & Neptune in Sagittarius and supports his ego. If you ever watch a video by him, he is energetic, excitable, dynamic, combustive, aggressive, funny, and angry.  Apparently he has a lot of enemies (which he doesn't seem to mind) and he is always ready to battle and ether (aka attack/destroy/knock someone down). This is very Aries/Martian like. With Sag energy a moon in Aries would support his "I say what I mean and I mean what I say attitude".

By the way the fact that references Terminator in his mean but funny nicknames to others is a testament to a possible Aries moon.

Mars in Gemini

He has Mars in Gemini that opposites his Sagittarius Sun & Mercury. This shows that his need to seek wisdom and higher principles (his Sagittarius energy) conflicts/opposes his need to find and share information that can sometimes be mundane and lower vibrationee (Mars in Gemini). His Mars in Gemini energy just wants to put information out there and is focused on facts/details while his Sagittarius energy wants to find more meaning/value in his information.

Venus & North Node in Scorpio

This is the kicker and the glue that puts his chart together. Especially the North Node. His Venus is in Scorpio. Venus represents beauty, relationships, etc. Tommy Sotomayor finds beauty in dark, fringe topics. The news he reports in his videos are often sad, shocking, and is in the realm of the darker parts of human nature/humanity. He talks about mothers killing their babies, children dying, broken communities and families. He often says that he has to laugh/make jokes to keep from crying when he does his videos. 

His North Node in Scorpio means it's his life's destiny to divulge, get into, & shed light/expose dark, fringe topics/issues. His ideas/opinions may not be popular, Politically Correct, nice, right or fair but he was born to do what he is doing now.

Jupiter in Aries

He also has Jupiter in Aries. This means that his luck, faith, belief and need for higher knowledge is the warrior sign of Aries. He takes on a strong, fierce role when it comes to his beliefs and opinions. He may feel like a lone wolf (especially with his Scorpio energy). Even so, he fights that fight.

Sagittarius Princess of the Pluto in Scorpio Generation: Taylor Swift

I keep spelling her last name Shift. Anyway yes she is the Sagittarius Princess of the Pluto in Scorpio Generation. To remind you of my series, the Prince/Princess of the Pluto in Scorpio Generation is a series devoted to the movers and shakers of the Pluto in Scorpio Generation that is inheriting the Earth. The Pluto in Scorpio Generation is from 1983-1995 so from the ages of 21-33. If you want to know more about the Pluto in Scorpio Generation, whom I intimately call the TMI Generation, check out my blog post here.

That aside I chose Taylor Swift/Shift, because she is like The Britney Spears of her Generation (and probably the Pluto in Capricorn generation (2008-2024). I'm from her Generation and I can't relate to her at all, but the amount of power she has over these girls/people/the public is amazing & can't be overlooked. 

Anyway let's get into her astrology. Her astrotheme profile link here.

Sun in Sagittarius
Moon & Jupiter conjunct in Cancer

Her reach/appeal to people is magnetic. Sag sun with moon & Jupiter conjunct in Cancer. Plus Jupiter is exalted in Cancer. This girl is lucky and born with abundance. This doesn't means she has an easy chart but this gives her a boost.

Mars conjunct Pluto in Scorpio and MC & Lilith in Scorpio

I mainly chose Taylor Swift because she  her artistry/material is shamlessly Plutonian in execution. 

She writes about her exes in such a Plutonian way. Gaining strength from hurt, coming out a victor, all the while throwing shade; and subtly and quite sweetly saying F you too. The shade she throws is real. The best shade is undercover shade that doesn't make you seem like an evil meanie. 

Taylor has perfected the art of making money while singing/writing/talking shit  about her exes while maintaining a good girl/loved by all; innocent image. Wolf in sheep's clothing anyone?

Blame it on her mega Plutonian placements. She has her MC, Lilith, Mars and Pluto in Scorpio. Not only that but her Mars is conjunct Pluto in Scorpio. She has a lot of rage, anger, bitterness, and hurt in her. She is not this delicate flower she "appears" to be. Sneaky, crafty, watch out for Taylor, do not get on her bad side. A more positive note, it's a good thing she is channeling this energy into art/music.

She is model for Plutonians/Pluto in Scorpio/Sag/Cap who need an outlet to channel their rage into. She understands the Pluto in Scorpio need to rage out, & seek revenge. Instead of killing people, she is showing that you can throw shade and get that money. P.S. she has more shade indicators in her chart than Nicki Minaj. Tay's 12th house is BUSY.

Ascendant, Saturn, Uranus, Mercury & Neptune in Capricorn
Venus in Aquarius

She also represents the "modern" woman a strong woman feminist who wants it all. Love/relationships, a good sex life, & a successful career without the shame of being a strong capable, uncompromising woman. This is a mixture of her Capricorn energy and her Venus in Aquarius energy. 

The Capricorn energy being the business/career/success driven woman. She has no problem exploiting herself & probably others/men for her art/music. Her mercury is in Capricorn, so she may behave/use her creative energy in a Scorpionic way (Mars in Scorpio). The way she thinks is all Capricorn. Her mercury is  conjunct Uranus, Neptune, and Saturn. So in her own way she is rebelling (Uranus), artistically expressing herself (Neptune) and creating boundaries (Saturn) in a Capricorn way. All of which is in a serious, pragmatic, & business/money minded way.

The Venus in Aquarius energy being the free love "I can date 100 men anytime I want", modern, feminist individual woman. She doesn't let the media slut shame her on who she wants to date. She does her/true to herself.

This is why people of her generation and younger look up to her. We are in the Age of Aquarius so group individuality matters. Her being an individual, being herself inspires others/groups. These others/groups are connected to her being/presence. Especially her being her proud, shameless, Plutonian/Pluto in Scorpio generation self/presence, inspires others. This is the main reason why she is the Sagittarius Princess of the Pluto in Scorpio Generation.
