‘Do you really believe in that stuff?’ I accurately guessed both your and your child’s sun signs after a few facts, within 15 minutes. I BROUGHT UP ASTROLOGY. So...yes. How was that not obvious? Though a believer, I steer clear of taking astrology as a gospel according to the constellations. Dogmatism and extremes holds us back. Now that that’s out of the way, here is what you MUST know to live a full life.
Phenomenon (singular) Oxford Disctonary’s first option
a fact or situation that is observed to exist or happen, especially one whose cause or explanation is in question.
For several years, I have been thinking of why some phenomena reach the pinnacles of success. Yes, because they are destined. Additionally, ?maybe? destiny’s secret sauce: cosmic compatibility. Phenomena here = 5 or more high-rating seasons; and/ or a referencable, successful film.
TV/Movies
Miranda doesn’t like waiting. Let’s start with the super hydro cast of The Devil Wears Prada. 👠
Impeccable Meryl Streep = Cancer (on Gemini/ air cusp)
Hilarious Emily Blunt= Pisces (on Aquarius/ air cusp)
Stylish Stanley Tucci = Scorpio
Princess Mia ❤️/ Anne Hathaway= Scorpio
Despite being racially questionable, we must acknowledge The Help.
The unequivocal Cicely Tyson (RIP)= Sagittarius
Stunning Viola = Leo
BetterThanYouMostDaysoftheWeek Octavia Spencer= Gemini
Sweet Jessica Chastain (she let me talk her ear off, she DIDN’T have to)= Aries
Enchanting Emma Stone= a Scorpio out-numbered.
Rival Schools? Gossip Girl and Harry Potter 🎓
The actors playing Nate, Chuck, and Dan = Cancer, Cancer, and Scorpio. Blair and Serena, no BS, are Aries and Virgo. How did the Aries survive?
Hermione, Harry, and Ron = Aries nearing the Taurus cusp, Leo on the Cancer cusp, and Virgo on the Leo cusp! Pisces Professor Snape (RIP, Alan Rickman) was on the Aquarius cusp and Malfoy is on the Virgo Libra cusp. Coïncidence for the Hogwarts crew? Was the toilet troll or possessed Nimbus 2000 in the first film a coïncidence?
The Constance Billard St. Jude’s attendees can mingle with the witches and wizards if they like... not for too long.💄💃🏾🎤
‘Keep your head up, that’s right’. Thanks for the swimming lesson, Queen Latifah! 🌊. You know your element. The Living Single theme song reminds us that ‘to my left and to my right’ there is either water or land.
Pisces Queen Latifa (Khadijah), finds land in both Kim Coles (Synclaire) who is a January Capricorn and Kim Fields (Regine) who is a May Taurus.
BREAK This cast is in the second month of their designated signs. My observational hypothesis is that sign matches get along great. Then, there’s the pairings with parings. Par example, all the women are the 2nd month of their signs. 2nd monthers have the extra umph when paired with other second monthers. OR cuspers get along with other cuspers. I suspect and believe.
👉🏿NECESSARY 👈🏿
DO NOT OBSESS WITH MY EXTRA HYPOTHESIS. Your right partner in work, school, family, romance, etc. is right for so many inexplicable reasons. Don’t ruin a good thing because of astro research. Banking on success based on signs alone, is flimsy. Don’t be flimsy. No matter how ‘on paper’ you’re a match, if you’re not the best version of yourself paired with a lousy version of whatever sign, no amount of elemental proclivity towards fireworks will save you. Even the best of matches go through rough patches. Once more: don’t be flimsy.BACK IN 🚣🏾♂️
Erika Alexander (Maxine) is a 2nd month Scorpio. She and T.C. Carson (Kyle) are birthday buddies on a cusp. A few days later, blow up the ballons for Overton, I mean, Tom Henton’s birthday. He is a cusper Sagittarius.
Hey, Look!📰 📰📰🗞🍳🥞
It’s the happy, singing, colored brothers!! The too cool Wayans Bros. cast makes sense.
Pops, the delightful John Weatherspoon/ Witherspoon (RIP), is an 11th House Aquarius. Shawn Wayans find himself at the Capricorn/Aquarius cusp. Baby bro partner Marlon is a Leo on the Cancer cusp. All 4 elements are represented between the two. YAS, 👶🏿. Anna Maria Horsford, the beautiful-coiffed Dee, is a March Pisces, which is an ultra-feminine addition for the mix.🚧🚧
REMEMBER when I cautioned against flimsiness? Ahhh. The reminder took you by surprise?🏹 🏹
Naturally, Buffy saves the day. She good people. The entire gang is good people. Where did this dreamy show come from? The BRILLANT JOSS WHEDON. He’s a watery, cancer male. Buffy, Willow, Zander, and Anya were ALL PLAYED BY ARIES. Typically, a Cancer + Aries combo is about as logical as a vampire asking for holy water ice cubes at Willy’s Place🍷. You’d sooner find vamps strolling around a bright Sunnydale, midday, without covering before a harmonious relationship between the astrological foes. Yet, somehow, Mr. Whedon made magic despite the glaring incompatibilities. Thank you so much, Joss. In case you’re curious: Giles’s real-life person is a Pisces, though on the limits of Aquarius. Aquarius+ Aries= A. Spike + Cordelia are both played by Leos. Awww. The show had several Capricorn performers: Faith, Tara, and Riley.🎬🎬🎬🎬🎬🎬🎬🎬
More.... Sure!🚀🚂🍔
Let’s end with The Big Bang Theory. Sagittarius dominates, followed by Aries. Coincidence that the creators are an 🌬airy Gemini a Libra duo? You decide. Just like The Help, you need a ‘wildcard’ or two. This cast really benefited from gentle, easy-going (best of the stereotype) Tauran, birthday buddies Johnny Galecki+ Kunal Naayr (Leonard and Raj).
Trippy, huh?💫
Regardless of what you feel, do decide that being the best version of you (and your sign) is your aim. You can play nice with others and show respect even if you don’t get along. Most of us got this in grammar school; somehow ‘adult’ status voided basic social decency?💫
If a ✨ 🌚 Solar Gospel 🌝 ✨ did exist, It would read:You two might have the right sun, but opposing moons. You both might have the right sun and moons, with unsympathetic Mercury and Venus. You might have synchronized charts, yet, one was nurtured throughout life while the other was constantly mistreated; you’ll unexpectedly repel one another. All you can do is master you and consciously shine your light inward and outward. Some stars have lost their light, honor their dimming, re-illumination without abandoning them or forcing your agenda. Make sure you’re not the reason why their or your light has faded. If your ego gets in the way, an inevitability, consider that all 4 elements can coexist, and came back after the dinosaurs left; and the galaxy hosts planets, moon, stars, and space pollution. Maybe we can all get over selves and pursue decency. 🌱
