Ode to Gemini Shade: Prince: Talented, Legendary & Shade Master

As the world, already knows, Prince is dead. He died about over a month ago from what appears to be an accidental drug overdose. Whatever the circumstances of his death are, the music world lost an extremely talented, vocal, SHADY and overall legendary musician. I am not going to run through all of his natal chart, but I will mention the key astrological features that make Prince, Prince.

To note I will also be framing this blog in the context of shade and showcasing his best shade moments. Coincidentally he was in the running for the Prince title of Gemini shade (lolz) for my Ode to Shade blog series. Sadly I wasn't expecting him to die anytime soon. 

I was expecting him to be throwing shade at 90 while rolling around on his wheelchair. By the way this isn't meant to be a disrespect to Prince. Shade was his art form and a way to express himself. Shade isn't bad and shouldn't be taken as an offense. It shows intelligence (quick thinking, cleverness, & inventiveness) and the ability to laugh off anger/pain. 

Let's get into his astrology. His astrotheme profile link here
He was born June 7th 1958 in Minneapolis, MN 6:17pm. 

Scorpio Ascendant

I am usually skeptical of astrotheme's rising signs BUT I can see it in him. Private, secretive life, dark, intense eyes and a commanding presence. He simply moved and behaved like an Scorpio rising (or at least someone with Pluto in the 1st House).

Sun in Gemini in the 8th House

His sun in Gemini in the 8th House meant that SHADE was in his DNA. His ego (sun) is placed in a watery, emotional and frankly scary house. Intense, secretive, and deep; he was highly Plutonian. He wasn't the typical Gemini sun. Much more serious, grounded, and passionate Gemini sun. 

He delve in conspiracy theories, battled his record company in court and pretty much took control of his image and his creative freedom. The sun is hidden but it's alive, rising to the surface ever so often to put a bitch in their place.

Pisces Moon in the 4th House

The fourth house is one of the most deepest and hidden parts of your natal chart. The fourth house is ruled by Cancer/the moon. So with Prince's Moon in Pisces here; it's domicile (at home here). It shows he was very sensitive, creative and emotional person deep inside. He kept that part hidden most of time.


This is strange and weirdly fitting that he had drug problems. I know that is weird statement. But Pisces placements especially moon in Pisces is known for escapism and drug use. His rival Michael Jackson had a Pisces moon too and also had a drug related death. 

Mercury in Gemini/ Mercury square Pluto

This is where his geniusness like creativity, communicative abilities, and SHADE is most evident. Mercury in Gemini is a communicative air sign that is intelligent, fast-moving and clever. There is a dual quality to Gemini so they can appear good or bad at a toss of a coin. One minute Prince seems petty and insincere, the next noble and sincere. Shade is very much about using nonverbal skills as it is about verbal skills. No matter what form Gemini's HAVE to communicate.

He also has Mercury Square Pluto. Mercury square Pluto aspect people have biting, pointed, and powerful communication skills. There is power in his words when he chooses to use them. This is why a lot of people turn to shade; because they know the power of their words. So they have to be careful; they can make enemies out of friends and family. There is a constant battle between being authentic to one's self & keeping it real and saving face & not hurting people's feelings. Shade is a way to balance these things.

SHADE SMIRKING

Since he can't be the Prince of Shade, since he's already Prince. He is a shade connoisseur and aficionado. Here are some of his best shade moments.


1. In quote: "Well, I can't be played. A person tryna play me, plays themselves."


2. Sips tea


3. Prince:  SMH This Simple Bitch 



4. We are the world, Quincy Jones SHADE.


5. Dafuq, Seriously WTF


6. A quiet, sad disappointment


7. Plutonian Fury: Let me walk away before I slap a bitch.



8. In Quote, "Different Strokes for Different Folks."


9. YOU TRIED IT

10. Shake dem Basic Bitches Off. LA FIN


RIP and Happy Birthday Prince 

Gemini/Sagittarius Opposition Imaginary Scenario

Random but I thought I will post a Gemini and Sagittarius Opposition imaginary scenario that I made up.

Sagittarius is the irresponsible mom that leaves her kid behind in a laundromat to get a pack of cigarettes and a 40. Her motto in life is "Don't threaten me with a good time". And that's what a tall, dark, and handsome stranger did and she ran off with him. 

The kid is the Gemini, a precocious and curious child. Abandoned he is raised by the streets and turns to magic and parlor tricks. He's experienced in immature tomfoolery with no sense of direction in his life. The Sagittarius mom suddenly comes back in the picture, clean (sober) after a 8 year prison sentence for armed robbery. She's a changed woman and devotes her life to Christ. The Gemini child however is still acting like a brat."

Random but I hope you enjoyed this. Happy Gemini Season!!! 

Gemini Celebrity That Ain’t Shit Archetype: Igloo Australia aka Iggy Azalea

Yes I did just call her Igloo Australia. Yes I know her "name is Iggy Azalea" (to all you pseudo Iggy Stans). I just think Igloo is a funnier name. Anyway I don't actually hate Iggy at all. Her "Fancy" song was cute and catchy (along with Pu$$y and Work. I am not bandwagon hater. That said..........

I do feel she sucks at rapping and does not represent hip-hop at all. Go watch this video of her rapping and try to clap back. .............. I am waiting........... 

Also after seeing several interviews with her, she has no personality what so ever. She seems like a nice girl (maybe too nice). But hip hop is not nice. It's angry, aggressive, in your face, and it has a message. 

I am sure she may have a message but who cares. Her novelty has wore off and she's back to being a grain of sand in a huge beach. The only reason I think she got all the hype and attention is because she is a white girl rapper from Australia (btw a moon in Sagittarius and Jupiter exalted in Cancer does help!). She was anomaly in the rap game and easy on the eyes. Now she is just a tall amazon who is boring and has no personality.

Two Words: "No Edges"

BTW I would've written this post about the other Gemini Azealia, Azealia Banks (who is bat-shit crazy), but she can rap, and has some form of individuality/talent/creativity. The same goes for Oh No West (my nickname for Kanye West).

Iggy should really stick to being a model.

Why your Sign Ain't Shit: Gemini Edition

THE TRUTH

Gemini, gemini, gemini, gemini. I think there should be a new mental disorder, called Gemini. this disorder is a mixture of bipolar disorder, depression, schizophrenia, dissociative personality disorder, borderline personality, AHDH, hypochondriac etc.. Well no etc. just look through the DSM V, retitle it and label it “Gemini” and you will perfectly describe Gemini.

By the way I wrote Gemini four times because I am talking to all of Gemini’s split personalities and their split personalities’ personalities. I won't even get to their split personalities’ personalities' personalities.

Gemini is that sign that is everywhere. Look through various online sites and boards and you will find at least one username that has “Gemini” in it. Whether it be Sexygemini1, da/gemini-bitch, geminiluv1. Gemini is one the few signs that is everywhere, talks the most, annoys people the most, and still manages to be incognito. There game puts Scorpio to shame. #no shade.

The funniest thing about it is that Gemini DOES NOT AT ALL try to be incognito. They actually do the opposite. They talk too much, gossip, reveal everything about themselves. Whether it be about their various sex tapes and ratchet sex-escapades that they are self-promoting, various stays in mental institutions and DUIs’ arrests that they are bragging about. all the drugs, alien abductions, and zany, crazy shit that they been through. Gemini's literally have a NONE, LITERALLY ZERO SECRETS. But at the same time, you happen to not know nothing about them. AT ALL

It’s like their words enter into this black hole. Whatever words they spew is sucked into this large cosmic vacuum cleaner that cleans up whatever the fuck they threw up on us. As quickly as words enters the atmosphere, the quicker it disappears. This is called the “Gemini Black Hole Effect”.

This is part of what makes them so mental. They are frustrated because they know that whatever they say or do no matter how crazy, disturbing and bizarre it will be forgotten and lost.

You have to remember Gemini is ruled by mercury (messenger of the gods, god of communication). They live to communicate, communication is there water and air. Even so, due to the “Gemini Black hole Effect”, they realize that whatever they say or do, it just gets sucked in. This drives them mad. So they try different ways to communicate; which includes resorting to trickery. Claiming to have twin selves (which is true but no one ever believes them). People assume Gemini’s are crazy. Maybe they are, maybe they aren't but you will never know.  The more people don't believe in their words, the more they talk and communicate, which overall makes them even more misunderstood and mysterious. It is like talking without sound.

Even on the rare occasion that people do listen and their words don’t get trapped in the black hole, it is still hard to understand what the fuck a Gemini is saying. It is the fact that Gemini’s words and speech patterns sounds like a warbled mix of that guy in smart guy with the robotic voice in the wheelchair, Stephen Hawking, Busta Rhymes and Cheryl Cole. It just throws people the fuck off. 

Combine the robotic voice of Stephen Hawking, the speed of Busta Rhymes words, and the cute, but hard to follow Geordie accent of Cheryl Cole, and you've got Gemini

PS if you haven’t realize this, Gemini this is why your sign ain’t shit.
