Now that's what I call Venus In Aries

Since venus is starting a new cycle in the sign of Aries I thought it would be fun to make a new series of playlists, “Venus in X Sign” where I would pick a collection of songs that are some manifestation of Venus in that sign, while Venus in Aries is one I know well, I may need help for the next signs, I am also looking for queer perspectives to add to these playlist!

Artists with an asterisk have either: Sun, moon or venus in Aries, Kylie has sun conj mars

Love at first sight, Kylie Minogue

Venus in the the first sign knows very much about love at 1st sight, the 1st impression is akin to the ascendant, you know the angle that Aries bestowed, jumping into the impulse love

Fergalicious, Fergie*

As venus also speaks about the way one has with their femenine side, in Fergalicious Fergie makes it all about herself, her flirting style: being herself!

Domino, Jessie J*

“I'm feeling sexy and free” Jessie sing as she flaunts how amazing she feels, a songs that exudes confidence and fun, something that Venus in Aries loves, as venus also relates to our self esteem what better to be what you like!

John Wayne, Lady Gaga*

“Can you go a little FASTEEER?!” Another possible manifestation of Venus in Aries is a liking for a particular kind of masculinity: strong, aggressive, wild, fast and short lived, she knows is bad for her, but she gets in love with the adrenaline he provides.

Rude Boy, Rihanna*

As aries is a raw and natural sign, venus here likes the taste of the unpolished manhood, no filters no cosmetics, but also we can see the commanding nature of a venus in aries “oh rude boy you think you are in control? sure thing boy”

She Wolf, Shakira*

Primal instincts, a sexul hunger, a need for freedom and the chase, what else I can say?

As a plus, a she wolf was the one who feed Romulus and Remo, the sons of mars. There's an analogy to make but I will leave up to others.

Don't keep me waiting, Britney Spears*

Venus in Aries doesn't like to wait, and truly why would you do that? she believes in saying what you want loud and clear, and work from there, let's make this happen right now!

Love is a Battlefield, Pat Benatar

A tug of war will entertain venus in aries for a time but is not really healthy in the long term, however. I'm very aware this is an extremely common manifestation of her, and Arian women can really give a run for your money, yet the battlefield is never in their favour.

Muscles, Diana Ross*

She gets straight to the point; She likes the strength associated with muscles (something that was exclusive associated with men, but not anymore)

The Warrior, Patty Smith and Scandal

Venus in the warrior sign knows what it takes to fight for love, here Patty is similar to a battering ram, but the walls she takes down are not physical, they are emotional and extremely limiting.

Wrecking Ball, Miley Cyrus

But sometimes venus in aries is too strong, too belicious too loud, like a a wrecking ball, but some people's walls are extremely strong, and they don't come down with brute force. and instead Venus ends with a broken heart and a headache.

Girls like Girls, Hayley Kyoto*

But you know which other walls venus in aries can break? The ones of homophobia. We are in a severe lack of venus/mars queer perspectives. Here Hayley is bold , brave and daring about who she loves.

The chase, Celine Dion*

Every site of astrology talks about how Venus in Aries is more in love with the chase than the person, here Celine reckons how much she enjoys the rush of running but also reflects about who is gonna keep up with her?

Soldier of Love, Sade*

Venus is in exile in aries, the sign of warriors, but what about the times you need to fight for your love? And what about the times when you are a soldier in an empty battlefield, full of scars, is not similar to a heart who has been broken too many times? and with the same spirit that keeps pushing a warrior, here venus keeps love as that pushing force to face adversity, because you are going to need it!

Army, Ellie Goulding

What is love for Aries? as a warrior who has endured trial and tribulations, wounds and healing, the focus changes goodby to the chase, the bad boy, the image, love is that companion who will lay their life you and you would do the same for them, together we are an army a kind of martian love that can only be found once in million. Maybe Im understimating that number...I hope I do.

Do you have a "Venus in Aries" song ? put it in the notes/ Commentaries.

The archer, A musical Birth chart. Pt 6 The philosophy of love

Sun in Sagittarius

If there is a placement she is aware of, is this. Since the beginning of her career she knew this sagittarius sun in her, she believed in luck and small superstitions (13) and blind optimis, now one thing about this sun is that it is unaspected, in other worlds, no other planet supports it or contradicts it, so this sag sun can do whatever it wants and you will see that the next section of songs are more like a checklist , but wait for the final, its good I promise:

In some sense I went in chronological order, from Fearlles I chose JUMP THEN FALL, and Sparks fly at the beginning of the playlist, For Speak Now I chose LONG LIVE because it represents the expansive force that Sagittarius excels at, the song is so happy and optimist, big dreams on the horizon, and the bridge... she knew one day she will be remembered.

Then STATE OF GRACE, where she actually mentions her sun sign, full of hope in a new relationship with bold statements like “love is a ruthless game unless you play it right and good” I swear you can take lyrics from this song print them, put them in a frame and call it a philosophy of life.

And more optimistically with STARLIGHT don’t you dream impossible things?

And let’s keep dreaming and dancing with SHAKE IT OFF. A Feel good song about the carefree attitude that Sagittarius is known for, and a funny video to top that!

But Sagittarius also got a bad name of being players …ARE YOU READY FOR IT?

Then we have GETAWAY CAR symbolic of the wild side of the horse in Sagittarius but hey at the very least they will give honesty

And speaking of unapologetic honestly there's ME! With a exclamation mark, to make it more sag, it's fun, colorful, somewhat childish but hey the laughter is free

Yeah yeah everything is fun and games, until you star playing stupid games and win stupid prizes, Sagitattius is also able to see the big picture and the political compass, and in MISS AMERICANA AND THE HEART BREAK PRINCE Taylor starts getting political, very much in her point of view and I love how at the start the song is sad, defeatist and escapist and then…2:55 that moment the brige changes, and is like a arrow of light soaring trought the dark night, there is a new kind of optimist, one that is more firm, because ONLY THE YOUNG can run, and they did! (pluto in Sagittarius) and they have started to change the scales….

And now let's breathe in because we are in the final part, and yes the association to THE ARCHER is just plain obvious, but this is the song that inspired me to make this playlist, when I heard this my mind saw all the ways those lyrics related to that birth chart that I knew of her and found that sound amazing, how you can put your whole birth chart in one song without even knowing it?

So let's get to it:

Now breathe out, because that was intense, since the correspondence I did is very 1 to 1 ( It was beautiful for me ) it can come across as creepy or worse: Are you saying she is a puppet of the planets?

No, I am not saying that and I don't want to imply that, I respect her so much to put all her artistry on Saturn.

Truth is, there are thousands of birth charts similar to hers, but only one of them belongs to Taylor Swift, only she performed the chart the way she did, only she tackled her very specific Saturn return the way she did, only she decided to use her scorpio weapons the way she did, only she used all her solar energy to become who she is today. That is why I've made this image: Can you see through this ?

If her ascendant is really Capricorn that means her Sagittarius sun is a ultraviolet morning light, a Sun of DAYLIGHT and there is something that bothers me, traditionally is said that sun in the 12th house are doomed, destined to be hidden and a unfavorable for fame, but I don’t like that and I don’t think is that true.

Now a Sagittarius sun with a cancer moon is called a inconjution, meaning signs that share nothing (element, mode and polarity) and are very far away and I see this with clients and pairings, Sagittarius and Cancri have so little in common that there is conflict: Sag wants to travel the world while cancri prefers to stay in home and a familiar ambient, sag is brutally honest and cancri is sensitive and delicate, so how they can come together?

Well Sagittarius is also about learning, expanding your horizons while Cancer is about soul connections and emotions , so What can our emotions teach us?

The pain in your heart will tell when you have been taken enough and it's time to go, anxiety ridden nights will showhow much peace is worth , pretending to be cold and detached will cause a hunger that you will have to face sooner or later, heartbreak and heart heal will teach that happiness is like the moon; it comes around and then goes away and then it begins again, tears of memories will make sure you remember your loved ones even when they are gone, they are still with you, the anger mixed with pain will awaken the warrior in you who has to change the battlefield, the hurt of humiliation will make you realize something has to change and also teach you how to empathize with others in similar positions, and finally the thing that you love will teach how to see a new part of you. Or as she said:

The archer, a musical birth chart.pt 5 Does a scorpion sting when fighting back?

Pluto, Lilith and mars in Scorpio:

“No, I could never give you peace”

So yeah, danger does indeed live in you and your birth chart, and she was aware, Battles, revenge, death and transformation will come ahead.

And she knew, since Picture to burn to Better than revenge (songs that are not in the playlist since they may get changed in the new versions) this scorpio force within her, and she has lilith right in the midheaven, and I think of what she said in the “73 questiosn with vougue” What would you say to your past self?

"Hey, you're going to date just like a normal 20-something should be allowed to, but you're going to be a national lightning rod for slut-shaming,"

Lets remember who is Lilith, the mother of demons, the rebel woman,the "bad" wife now a feminist icon, she was expulsed from heaven for having her own desires and thoughts. Having this placement in the MC (the house of public career) can manifest in complicated ways where men and their good wives can point the finger at the MAD WOMAN and project everything you hate on her.

But Lilith in scorpio also has a power of transformation and fighting for women's rights

That event transformed her, and finally stepped into her raw female power.

But now lets go back in time where the narrative was very different, and painted her as a woman with BAD BLOOD putting other women down.But her enemy was not any woman, the triple scorpio herself: Katy Perry.

Scorpio vs Scorpio

Back in 2015 Taylor and Katy stared a big mediatic feud, 5 years from that we can analyze this in a very different way

So lets recap what happened and how everything went off the trails

From the POV of Katy she lent a couple of dancers to Taylor, and she should have known it was a temporary thing, since they have that in the contracts. She must have read the whole contract, right?

From the POV of Taylor from one day to the other she lost a number of dancers of the tour she carefully put together, but they cant go just away, they have a contract oh what it is? Katy told them to put a clause so they could leave the RED tour ? oh this is enough I don’t need a bunch of traitors in my tour, go away!

And they used to be so close, from her POV it looked like she knew what she was doing, and from the Katy perspective it was not a big deal, you tour didn’t fall apart, you had time to plan in advance, but no, band aids don't fix bullet holes

Make no mistake BAD BLOOD was a intimidation tactic, it was a display of power, and it show a side of Scorpio mars in the 11th house (house of frienships)

it was like "look at my army, look at my powerful friends, do you want to mess with us?" Little did she know she had traitors in her army, one of them will be the one to strike low and give her the punishment of a low libra sun pisces moon: destroying your image with lies and illusions.

And then Katy took an opportunity and kicked the horse when she was dead with SWISH SWISH, but Katy you should have known that Mars, your chart ruler, doesn't like this, because if you beat down your enemy when it is down it speaks volumes about your confidence and real power.

But surprise bitch!

She came back from the dead, Pluto in Scorpio in action, babey!

LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO, a power move like no other, just think about it, she could have:

Release Me! as planned and get a shit load of hate "you don't have the right to feel good about yourself, snake!"

Release an “apology” song, submit to the liar, and disappoint all the fans who stand her in her darkest time

Or this, take control of this whole snake narrative, loyal fans have already endured the storm, and it will create a new image, a powerful woman, one that attracted new fans (me included)

And so she was back at the top of the game while Katy was entering a dark era (probably going to make a playlist for her too) in these times she reflected in what went wrong and what was more important, because IT TAKES TWO to make a fight, she send a letter and Taylor recognized she may have blow things out of proportion and forgave her when they meet in the AFTERGLOW of their war.

But let's pause a moment, can we recognize the amount of growth that must take for 2 scorpio women to forgive and forget, to make amends? and that is something she always did, she believed people can be brand new, 32 and still change to grow up, still INNOCENT everybody makes mistakes, everybody makes impulsive choices that are not for the best...but what not everybody does is trick you, get you on the phone and mind-twist you record a call, edit it and re frame it to destroy someone. I am going to put the most interesting part of the call right here:

West: So it says “To all my Southside [N-word] that know me best, I feel like Taylor Swift might owe me sex.”

Swift: [Laughs, relieved.] That’s not mean….. oh my God, the buildup you gave it, I thought it was going to be like, “That stupid, dumb bitch.” But it’s not. So I don’t know. I mean, the launch thing,

West: You don’t have to do the launching and tweet. That was just an extra idea I had. But if you think that that’s cool, then it’s cool. If not… I mean, we are launching the s—

FAMOUS: I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex Why? I made that bitch famous (Goddamn) I made that bitch famous"

Sigh….THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS

Okey let's analyze this, the song was released, Taylor did not promote it, he said that she didn't have to do that, there was an official statement and then the Grammys speech.

People gave him some flak, but nothing extraordinary...somehow he convinced himself he was the victim and as revenge he and his good wife put the edited phone call and used their platform to destroy her, truly a case of how to make the worst of their Gemini, Pisces and Libra.

And after the plutonic transformation and the power move move that was reputation, is time to sit down, and contemplate the pain, because yes, Scorpio is a tough cookie, but still a water sign, and the hurt is intense and after the war, there is pain and even after the years the shape of their name still spells out pain so yeah she doesn't need to forgive however send that letter so they can have their CLOSURE they can have my middle finger instead.

Because when a scorpion cries they will make sure their TEARS RICOCHET, and think about the themes of the scorpio house (8th) how death creates a ripple effect, a death like hers can't go unnoticed and can’t go without consequences (at the moment they are going to divorce) and that is the thing with the scorpio energy it is about action and consequences, its about death and transformation, it's about crime and punishment.

But LONG STORY SHORT: She survived

And I don’t see a better way to go from scorpio to Sagittarius than with that song, so lets JUMP AND THEN FALL into it.

[graffiastrology]

The Archer, a musical birth chart pt4. My heart is a Christmas tree farm

Jupiter, Moon and Chiron in Cancer:

“I want to thank to my mom”

One of the positive manifestations of Jupiter in exaltation translates pretty simple: A loving and supporting family, from her Father investing on BMR, Andrea Swift constant presence in her career and they all relocating so she could further her career, yeah having a good family it can be so important for the grow of a person,

But Jupiter is not alone here, She has a Cancer moon too, a positive aspect of this is a very close emotional bond with the mother, and it shows! The mother is so important,is the person who transformed the empty birthday party into THE BEST DAY is the person she can speak with about everything..... so it was a strike to the heart when the possibility of losing her loomed in the window, SOON YOU WILL GET BETTER she holds on that hope , because what is going to happen if not? Fortunately she has got better however...in the end everybody dies….or not?

What is it when you lose a dear member of your family, but you can still hear them in your mind and still feel them in your heart, because Jupiter in cancer also speaks of familiar wisdom passed from generation to generation from MARJORIE to Andrea to Taylor her words resonate :

Never be so clever you forget to be kind, never be so kind you forget to be clever”

That sounds like a piece of advice that is going to be useful for Taylor in the future… Finally to pivot from the family to her personal I chose CHRISTMAS TREE FARM because oh man, Christmas is going so be so important for the next songs, funny enough that is the sag-cap season, the family business where she grow but also so close to her birthday, it was a time that year after year will be so important to her, so how come you the one didn’t show up? Christmas light glowing , happy birthday to you but you were heartbroken, a cancer moon broken, and THAT’S IS THE MOMENT I KNEW the next theme: lunation.

When talking about the Crab sign and moon I like to divide it in 4 phases so this time we start in the heartbreak and the emotional memory of a cancer moon, all the emotions, all the feelings they remember it ALL TOO WELL and with the company of Chiron the wounded healer, it’s a constant scar in their heart, but Quiron also show how to heal (thanks to @playpretendstar for pointing it out) a song that was so painful to sing because the hurtful memories it had, but then when the people who listened feel it and empathized with her, they cried together and soon the song stopped being about him and started to be about the bound she shares with her swifties; a painful reminder of a failed relationship became a staple of a different kind of relation (the seventh house of relationships!) And that is the moment where the moon in cancer can see above the trees, for what it is: there was HAPPINESS because of him and there will be happiness after him, because the moon is a cycle and the lunation will BEGIN AGAIN on a Wednesday in a café

And it will end again

And it will begin again but different

A couple of times more until a brand new lunation comes, a lunation that mirrors a lot of themes in the last one but the performance is totally different.

This time her reputation never was worse, and although a new lunation was starting it felt so DELICATE, there was a storm around this time so when is too soon to say it?

And it was in the most vulnerable moment of her life when she had to grown so much, and didnt asked to be saved, but to run together. So call it luck or CALL IT WHAT YOU WANT but this time he showed up to her birthday, and Christmas and NEW YEARS DAY and the day after he stayed to clean bottles with her, this time they left the Christmas lights up until January, she and her LOVER started to build a home of their own, where they call the shots, and I used this song as the song that best represent the archetype of Cancer, because nothing screams Cancri like “our love is our home” awww so cute you can cry tears of joy now, however beware my lover, drama loves me and it follows me where I go, will you follow me to my dark (scorpio) side?

The Archer, a musical birth chart. Pt3 play it cool venus!

There are hundreds of articles discussing Taylor´s exes and this is not gonna be other to the list, so I am not going to drop names, rather I am going to try to detach the songs from the relationships, (how appropriate for aquarius.)

In I KNEW YOU WERE TROUBLE a low vibration of her Venus is manifested, she liked the bad guy, the detached man, the free and independent guy, “I guess you didn’t care and I guess I liked that” yeah that is one of the ways venus in aquarius can manifest.

Then in STYLE, is a more neutral venus: falling for the actual poster man of Aquarius, he is as Aquarian as they come : charming, different, bold , break the gender norms, poetic but cool.

Then in WONDERLAND we can see a venus falling in love with the madness, and the fun of a wild new experience. Until it's time to return to earth.

Next one: THIS IS WHAT YOU CAME FOR since The Leo-Aquarius axis deals with social circles, attention and group thinking, lighting strikes and every wants her, but she is looking at you, it seemed appropriate to put this here.

As GORGEOUS venus also is related to our flirting, one common aquarius style is “play it cool” You should take it as a compliment That I'm talking to everyone here but you

Oh yeah is cool, venus in aquarius says, No rules in breakable heaven, she says until the worst thing happen for aquarius: they catch feelings. What now aquarian venus? how longer are you going to keep secrets in this CRUEL SUMMER? just let go and scream it loud: “I love you aint that the worst thing you ever heard?..... He looks up grinning like a devil

And suddenly they went from friends to this.

Now Leo is associated with luxury and jewels, and aquarius being their opposition, just doesnt care if they get compromised with PAPER RINGS, luxury is not in the material things.

I have the suspicion that Joe Leo rising, (its cool she has made it public by now) as she describes him as a GOLD RUSH, with a Leo rising the magnetism is evident, everyone wants you with your hair falling into place like dominoes but then the contrarian wit of a mercury in aquarius, a lot of people find this obnoxious as hell but aquarius venus? She finds it charming. And so this section ends happily but now we are going to her cancer placements, so you better prepare the tissues, because it’s time to feel !

[graffiastrology]

The Archer, a musical birth chart. Pt2 Capricorn the man

Let's start with :Uranus in Capricorn

Uranus here is not so comfortable and their revolutionary ideas are hold back, Capri is more concerned with real change than fictional utopian ideas, In the case of Swift she took her sweet time to publicly discuss her political views and to be open about her posture on a lot of civil rights, don’t misunderstand me, they were there, just very hidden (the 12 house) but when Capricorn gets down to business they meant it and it can be verified in the tangible changes she made in 2019; she did something beyond the performativity: she pushed a ACT she made a real and tangible change, she was not comfortable just telling homophobes YOU NEED TO CALM DOWN, now we are turning tables (note: At the moment of writing this the equality act has been reintroduced to change.org and is currently at 832k, come guys you have made her debut with 1 million units at the b200 so many times) http://chng.it/5wYyBW4Rvw

But as it is usual with her, the haters were still after her, so much bullshit even after it all, is so easy to go after Saturn on the Ascendant, is it not?

One interpretation of having Saturn in the ascendant is an individual who is prone to be bullied, people are MEAN to them, they doubt their words, and in turn the person becomes so aware of how they come across, some people choose to present themselves in a serious and controlled manner to avoid this, and even more for Saturn in Capricorn, but then we have an opposition, and what does a stern Capricorn stellium say to a soft cancer moon who feels very deeply the words? one day you are going to be living in a big old city, one day you are going to be so big that they can’t hit you, With effort, hard work with a strong work ethic, one day you are going to move the big apple Take your broken heart, put it in a drawer, and it going to sound like WELCOME TO NEW YORK, we have been waiting for you, the Capricornian dream! (Neptune in Capricorn) and now is time to be up in the lights, like diamonds in the sky, you are the LUCKY ONE, Miss swift: money by millions, records after records, your discography is worth so much money, you have an enormous squad of famous friends who have your back when you fight, a big department in New York, but darling... did that fill empty seats at the lunch tables of your past?

And as it is usual with Saturn, he returned. And in her chart it was an intense transit: first for her sagittarian sun then for her ascendent: It was 17 of July of 2016, Saturn was starting his transit in Sagittarius, close to her sun. Meanwhile Pluto was transiting her ascendant, that was the day an influential female libra published an edited conversation that put Taylor in a really bad light. Celebrities rely a lot on images, her image was shattered, and her reputation dragged to the mud celebrities rely a lot on the perception the public has of them, and images are so fragile that a mishap can destroy them, but in her case she had so many people just waiting to have a valid reason to hate her, little it matter to them that the reason was a fabricated lie (if by this point you have not listen to the whole record call, please do so, as it will become very important for the Scorpio section) everything seemed lost, they assassinated her reputation, and then the pain to know that you were lied to, double crossed and declared "death" everything seemed lost for EVERMORE..... but it wasn't. Saturn returns also speak of reclaiming our power, learn lessons and overcome challenges, and its ironic, back on the 1989 world tour she made a big and deep speech that she gave before performing a song that will be the lesson she had to experience in her bones, and it goes like this:

I just hope that you will look in the mirror and remind yourself of what you are, and what you are not. You are not your mistakes. You are not damaged goods or muddy from your failed explorations. You are not the opinion of someone who doesn’t know you. You are a product of the lessons that you’ve learned. You are wiser because you went through something terrible. And you are the person who survived a bunch of rainstorms and kept walking. I now believe that pain makes you stronger, and I now believe that walking through a lot of rainstorms gets you CLEAN.

Unfortunately Saturn was not done yet, and so it returned to her natal lucky Saturn 13°, all 2018 she had Saturn transits, first for her ascendant then by her natal lucky Saturn 13, behind of the scenes the work of 15 years, 15 million tears was sold for 300 million of dollars to a man that participated in her takedown, while she was “kindly” offered to recover 1 master for 1 album, the scooter brought each master for 50 million dollars, while she was asked to give a entire album, AN ENTIRE ERA, for each master, it was not fair, but it legal. Oh Capricorn women, you play by the rules, you hustle, you stay your ground, you let your work speak for itself…and what happens? The system showed to you the place they have selected for you. to continue to work with these men or to just give up and move to something different, Sometimes walking out is the one thing That will find you the right thing

IT WAS TIME TO GO, but go where?

To THE LAKES, to enjoy melancholy and solitude, after all Capricorn is a feminine sign and is in the same axis with cancer and now I want to point to another of her placements: Mercury conjunct Saturn, This one is a challenge and a gift, difficult learning, a lot of repetition to get the grip of concepts, but once this is tackled, it becomes great at using words, it was a running joke that Taylor made swifties grab a dictionary so they can understand the album folklore, and there are lyrics that exemplifies this:

I've come too far to watch some name dropping sleaze Tell me what are my words worth

Its said that mercury in Capricorn are scientific and pragmatic thinkers, but honestly I have found a couple of song writers with this placement who are very poetic , you can say is the conjunction Neptune and Saturn , I like to say that Capricornian mercury is systematic, which is very prominent in Scientists and engineers , but this structural thinking can be applied to arts as well, and also can be a failed system. After all is about connecting points and words, I could also put a selection of the colors of Taylor swift, another recurrent theme in her writing, but you know what? I say that is just Taylor, it has nothing to do with her birth chart.

Mercury is also about our writing style and when I was reading her lover diaries a lot of them had the signature of capricorn "I just cant wait to be older" yeah that is, also this:

Speaking of writing lets talk about folklore, the album of the year 2020! She did that! an by that I mean she created a new perspective for her music, the old tired argument that “she only writes about her exes” fell flat as she made stories about different characters that captivated thousands of new listeners and I can see a placement in action here:

Capricornian Mercury opposite to Cancerian Jupiter :

The history of James, Betty, and Agustine

It was 2020, a terrible, terrible year for almost everybody, and Taylor found herself in a situation outside her control, the lover era was cancelled like pretty much everything else, she was lucky enough to be in a safe and comfortable place, it was when her imagination flew wild and made history with Folklore and Evermore, from these pieces of work she did something people didn’t gave credit: Writing. As she expanded her storytelling abilities outside her life (which she had already explored not just as much) she crafted a story that was connected across various songs:CARDIGAN, AUGUST, BETTY, TIS IS THE DAMN SEASON and DOROTHEA there is one big picture(Jupiter) and each song gives us details(Mercury) in how the participants lived it; they were in the same classroom,: BETTY, Inez, DOROTHEA, James, their teenage years full of dreams and problems, it was just a summer break when James took the train in AUGUST, and had a summer fling, breaking 2 hearts but he came back to apologize, and she accepted him. Meanwhile Dorothea was trying to make it in LA selling dreams and magazines, while Chris missed her until THE DAMN SEASON came around and they connected one last time. If you remember I selected these last songs for the freedom seekers of the zodiac: Sagittarius and Aquarius which let me jump to the next section.

The Archer. An musical Birthchart. Pt.1 The ascendant and the images we project

I was supposed to publish this on the spring equinox, the astrological new year, however when I read the prologue of reputation once again I realized I was not making the right introduction and especially when I reached this part:

“We are never just good or just bad. We are mosaics of our worst selves and our best selves, our deepest secrets and our favorite stories to tell at a dinner party, existing somewhere between our well-lit profile photo and our drivers license shot. We are all a mixture of our selfishness and generosity, loyalty and self-preservation, pragmatism and impulsiveness.”

A birth chart is exactly that a mosaic where we can reflect ourselves, in the case of celebrities their Birth Charts are all over the internet sometimes with commentary very out of place, those thing made me rethink how I wanted to come across with this work, as the past year I've been inside this house of mirrors called the ig astrology community, and willing participant in it with my “the signs as X pop start” lists, and it was fun and all but there was a point I have to question what kind of astrologer I am, and come to one realization:

Astrology is narrative

And who knows this better than Miss Americana herself: Taylor Swift, the person who have had her narrative taken, twisted and broken time after time, just to take her narrative in her hands control it and reclaim it.

Someone out there said she is a gemini moon in vedic and that explain her lies (ironic I know) someone other can say nasty things about that scorpio mars, some other astrologer looked for “predestined degrees” for fame, and so forth

What I did? well, my mind turned her life into folklore her astrology placements, and for that I mean her music, but since she is the kind of artist that writes every song and shares a glimpse of her life in her lyrics well this musical birth chart is about her, but also isn't. Since there is conflicting information about her rising sign this order can be fall flat, but again, astrology is narrative and we can say this is her lucky saturn 13° capricornian path (I tried to leave out all things related to the angles so it could work either way, BUUUUUT it fit so good in the playlist) It is my intention to make a reflexive text, that is also fun, insightful, respectful to her and entertaining for the readers, those who don't know nothing about astrology can have a good time looking at this as a history of Taylor trough her music, divided in interesting segments, those who like astrology but not Taylor can read it and say “makes sense!” those who have some placements in common with her can hear her music in a different light, and those who love Astrology and Taylor, they are going to have a good time.

And so I present to you this project i call “The archer, a musical birth chart” I hope that you enjoy it.

What better song to start this playlist than MIRRORBALL? Since what we are about to do is a work of reflection and relatability. For someone who has so many planets on her rising sign the impression she makes in people can vary wildly, I could say that having Neptune in the rising is linked to this, on a positive note this placement makes the user very photogenic, charming and can give off a “good girl” first impression but on the down side Neptune also distorts what it touches, and the self-image of said person in times work like a mirror where everyone can see whatever they want, there are so many images for Taylor, but at the end is a projection however I found a interesting correspondence between the images she has had and her active signs:

Teardrops in my guitar (Cancer) is for the country girl next door that started her career and the mainstream media has Cancers as crybabies

Sparks Fly (Sagittarius), Drop everything NOW goes along with the lively and optimist centaur

Blank space (Aquarius) is the image that got shamed for dating more than 1 guy, something the water bearer is known to object to, as it's a misogynist and outdated norm.

I did something (Scorpio) is the most recent image, the snake queen, and the image of a vengeful villain, much like Scorpions suffer right now

The man (Capricorn) Is for the image of the power hungry and avaricious woman, the music industry, is very true how she has used these capricornian forces to push her career to new levels but then something happens; When women tap into the Capricorn power they find that there's a double standard in this sexist society, she put it better in this song, and with 4 planets in Capricorn this is a recurring theme in her life, Saturn as her chart ruler will show this time and time again, and with this song lets pivot to the capricorn stellium.

The Signs as Evermore

So I made this some time back but never got around to publish it, as I test this new format I decide to bring it back in a similar fashion than the folklore one.Also Since evermore and folklore are sisters, the songs that i selected for each sign somehow share a link

Aries: Ivy

“Spring breaks lose but so does fear” this song is the perfect companion to peace, they warned you could never have peace with me and now this is the fight of our lives, but is not our love worth fighting for?

So yeah, it's a fire It's a goddamn blaze in the dark And you started it You started it So yeah, it's a war It's the goddamn fight of my life And you started it You started it

Taurus: Right where you left me

Same theme that cardigan but different ending, what happens when James doesn't get back to you? you get frozen in time, living in delusion

Did you hear about the girl who lives in delusion? Break-ups happen every day, you don't have to lose it She's still 23 inside her fantasy And you're sitting in front of me

Gemini: Cowboy like me

Oh to meet someone who is like you but in a different way, a twin of sorts, this is a tale of freedom and escapades, a partner in crime because every pirate needs a cowboy, aim right?

Now you hang from my lips Like the Gardens of Babylon With your boots beneath my bed Forever is the sweetest con

Cancer: Happiness

like the moon moves in circles, so does emotions, and maybe you are in pain now but you can see you will move on and find happiness just has the moon moves from phase to phase and everything looks different under the light of a full moon

I hope she'll be a beautiful fool Who takes my spot next to you No, I didn't mean that Sorry I cant see facts through all my fury

Leo: Gold Rush

Gold and august, 2 things related to the sign of leo, mostly, this song makes me believe that Joe is a leo rising

What must it be like To grow up that beautiful? With your hair falling into place like dominos

Virgo: Champagne problems

Direct association with the sign because usually virgo season is when the grapes that make the champagne are coleted and pressed, but in a mercurial angle the song is about mental health.

Your Midas touch on the Chevy door November flush and your flannel cure "This dorm was once a madhouse" I made a joke, "Well, it's made for me"

Libra: Marjorie

So Marjorie was a libra sun, but also the song is all about seeking the balance in life. Umm both song I chose for libra are about the Swift women.

Never be so kind, you forget to be clever Never be so clever, you forget to be kind

Scorpio: No body no crime

You made her go mad now suffer the consequences, if in Mad Woman the good wives decided to stay silent while misogyny was taking place, in NBNC women come together and fix a injustice with their own hands

I think he did it but I just can't prove it No, no body, no crime But I ain't letting up until the day I die

Sagittarius: Tis is the damn season

Not only is it literally about the ending of Sagittarius season, but also is accompanied by the freedom and ambitions that the archer represents, I can also say that is so sag moving from your old town to purse your dreams.

Time flies, messy as the mud on your truck tires Now I'm missing your smile, hear me out We could just ride around And the road not taken looks real good now And it always leads to you in my hometown

Capricorn: Long story short

After the tribulations that Saturn offered in this is me trying, is time to look back and breathe in relief, congratulations you have survived the hardest times!

Past me I wanna tell you not to get lost in these petty things Your nemesis Will defeat themselves before you get the chance to swing

Aquarius: Dorothea

I know that friendships with aquarians are very lasting, and even if there are benefits, they just let their friends to be free. It mirrors TLGAD since both songs center around an empowered female figure.

Hey Dorothea Do you ever stop and think about me? When it was calmer Skipping the prom Just to piss off your mom And her pageant schemes

Pisces: Willow

It is just a continuation to invisible string, literally since the video shows but this time we get to see the journey that followed the invisible string, and it's so magical and mystical thing, the lyrics are full of magic and analogies.

Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind (oh) Head on the pillow, I could feel you sneaking in As if you were a mythical thing Like you were a trophy or a champion ring And there was one prize I'd cheat to win
