Soul Angel, daughter of the moon, born in late June,

Cancer, influenced by Yemaya, music fluid like the ocean, contemporary dance moves

in the videos for A Seat at the Table flow like water.

Water is about balance too Create and Destroy Cleanse and Nourish Light and Dark Oceans and Rain Lakes and Hurricanes

Content perfect fit

for Libra Season

calling out injustices

and imbalances,

comforting us like mother

telling us we have a right to be mad.

To acknowledge

our double consciousness, that we can be both happy and angry

at the same time, that we can be in love and in rage

simultaneously because emotions teeter on the scales

of life


But also reminds us to

love ourselves and honor our magic and celebrate our beauty

like mother Goddess Venus would, nurturing us like even

the planet Venus would.

Unafraid to be

our Mermaid Unicorn

For the Underdog

Beckoning a following

with ease like water bearers do

seems she has an Aquarius moon

with Cancer sun creating the kind of

weekend storm that allows us to cuddle

up on our couches and reflect

and cry

and reminisce

and testify

As if all the mother archetype spirit realm

goddesses came through Solange to give

us this healing music at the beginning of fall

to help us cleanse and cool off from all the hell on Earth

we've been experiencing.

To help us meditate and release

and move forward into a phase of growth & expansion as Jupiter is also in Libra now too.


Like the opening interlude Rise goes ...

Fall in your ways so you can crumble Fall in your ways so you can sleep at night Fall in your ways so you can wake up and rise

Walk in your ways so you won't crumble Walk in your ways so you can sleep at night Walk in your ways so you can wake up and rise

Goddesses this is our time.

It is time for the healing energy energy to expand,

to command and rise up,

to reclaim our rightful seats at the table.
