Astro Observations #19

• I’ve noticed a pattern with Air and Earth risings and their dads not physically being there in their lives or being away for long periods of time and staying for shorter periods of time.

• People with Gemini rising and mercury at Leo degrees (5, 17, 29) or with their 3rd house in Leo tend to be very animated, expressive storytellers and are great at mimicking others! If they’re into singing then they might be good at imitating the original singer of that song’s voice.

• They’re also good at making impressions of other people.😂 Same goes for Leo rising with mercury in Gemini degrees (3, 15, 27) or people with their 5H in Gemini!✨

• Another thing about people with Leo in their 3H is that they WILL be over the top or dramatic when they see fit!! I have this placement and I literally pretended to faint when I saw my mom about to hit me while holding the pan she was washing with her other hand when I was a kid.🤣

• Capricorn moon kids aren’t the mini adults I see a lot of people stereotyping especially when they have Air/Fire in their charts. 🧐 Yes they might become very responsible as kids but they can also be the loud charming ones with the funniest laughs!😂

• Most 70s music/dance show hosts had prominent Scorpio/Libra placements with a dash of Aquarius energy! E.g. Dick Clark a 70s/80s show host from American Bandstand was a Scorpio moon/venus/rising & his sun was at 7 (Libra) degree while his rising was at 11 (Aquarius) degree!! And Don Cornelius the creator and show host of Soul Train throughout 3 decades was a Libra sun/mercury/venus with an Aquarius moon at 20 (Scorpio) degree!!🤎

• They also had inner planets at 28 degree!✨

• I’ve noticed some people with Fire venuses don’t get along with their dads that much, some of them had more of the ‘tough love’ type fathers.

• The reason most air moons seem to be emotionally aloof especially Aquarius moons, is because at some point in their lives they might’ve been shown that the only way to get by is by intellect and logic. They might’ve also been told as kids that they’re being too emotional and to stop crying/being upset.

• Another is because they’ve adapted to bottling up their emotions all the time that they might not know a way to express them openly and might just internalize it.

• Earth mars artists from the late 70s/early 80s were your go-to, classic R&B artists!! E.g. Patrice Rushen, Bobby DeBarge from Switch & Teena Marie are all Capricorn mars. Tommy DeBarge from Switch, Rick James and Donna Summer were all Virgo mars. Bunny DeBarge from DeBarge & Wayne Cooper from Cameo are both Taurus mars. 🍂

• If you feel like some placements in your composite don’t really add up with your relationship then check your Davison chart because I promise it’ll feel more accurate!

• Gemini suns with Sagittarius moons are very talkative and seem so feisty!😭

• Saturn doms have very attractive/prominent body shapes!

• Aquarius suns with Aquarius mercuries are funny without trying. ✋🏽😂

• Pisces suns with Aquarius mercuries and Aries venuses be literally taking the words out my mouth and say some of the meanest things!🤣

• Aries mercuries will literally say mean things before laughing and then hit you with the “What? It’s true.”😭🤣

• Fire mars men are built different!😭 Their height/weight might often trick people into thinking they’re soft but they are SO strong.

• Venus doms, how does it feel to get more beautiful every day?

• Mercurial risings kill me!😭 Virgo risings have a hilarious sometimes dry or more introverted humor while Gemini risings can be all over the place cracking jokes and exaggerating things lol.

• What’s with 5H suns and having a thing for verbal expressions. They’re literally the types to imitate a sound track when they’re explaining things.😭😭😭

• Some Gemini risings tend to have a signature laugh or people might point out/compliment their laughter often.

• They might also have them crazy laughs too and you’ll notice it specifically when you get close to them.🤣

• That one Aquarius moon family member 🤝 every other family member always going to them when they have problems with their technology or doing something online.

• Aries venus is that one cousin that will be spontaneous and very funny when you’re both good but will mean mug and say hurtful things to you/about you when you’re not on good terms anymore.😭

I wrote a public song analysis about A Dream by DeBarge, mostly sung by Bunny DeBarge. I was drawn to the airy yielding to romance and the vertigo of heartbreak that the song rendered. Once again, this analysis is public, so if you want to tip me, Pp ccd4t@virginia.edu and K0fi.

Keke Palmer by Adrienne Raquel

Naima Green and Sable Elyse-Smith by Elliot Jerome Brown Jr.

Erik Carter

The photographs above best sum up the song analysis. Here are some excerpts to whet your appetite:

And then, as she's jolted back into the lonely and hungering body, she must contend with the (hi)story she crafted to flout reality. Outside of the Technicolor dreamscape has set an aridity, a grayness she cannot bear; she wants to enflesh the dream as to never have to wake up, and therefore, needs her lover to return to her, in body as well as in spirit. 

and

This casts light on the repetitiveness of what Bunny DeBarge defines as "a simple fantasy"; the bundled up hope barely refrained as she ends up yelping through the chorus. And then, she breaks down; faced with the failure of the dream, she simply begs her lover to come back, hoping for the resonance of the echo.

DeBarge was an American musical recording group composed of several members of the DeBarge family. In addition to various solo projects completed by members of the family, DeBarge was active between 1979 and 1989. The group originally consisted of El, Mark, Randy, and Bunny. James joined the group a year later for their second album. Bobby and Chico joined in 1987 and 1988 respectively, replacing Bunny and El.

El DeBarge: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert

NPR Music's Tiny Desk series will celebrate Black History Month with Tiny Desk (home) concerts featuring legends in the world of R&B, jazz, gospel, and hip hop. Each artist in this legacy lineup has helped to define Black music as we know it and will be performing a Tiny Desk concert for the first time. 

Bobby Carter | February 4, 2022 

Around this time last year, singer-songwriter and R&B royalty El DeBarge took to Instagram to take some requests and play a few hits. "I'd never done anything like that before, and the nerves were showing," he told me. 

That 23-minute live performance ignited a comeback of sorts, and the greats of today, many of whom he's influenced, wanted to be near him. That video reminded us of his greatness, and stars like Alicia Keys, Fat Joe, and Questlove helped make 2021 a busy year for the torchbearer of the DeBarge moniker. 

For his Tiny Desk (home) concert, he didn't want to veer far away from what he did on IG, and I quickly concurred. He got together with guitarist, Bennett Walker to play this intimate set of DeBarge classics. In terms of sheer talent alone, the DeBarge family was arguably on par with the Jacksons at one point. That talent propelled them to the stars in the 1970s and '80s, cranking out hit records and cookout classics. Switch, featuring siblings Bobby and Tommy DeBarge, came first. 

A couple of years later, the group DeBarge arrived, consisting of siblings James, Bunny, Mark, Randy, and El. Their five albums and El's solo work were a massive part of Motown's success and helped sustain the label in the '80s. Despite the well-documented odds he's faced over the years, this set feels like a triumph. 

His voice has aged with grace, and that signature falsetto we've all attempted while singing these songs is perfection here. From his cozy home studio, the Michigan native breezes through a few of his R&B standards, including "All This Love," "Time Will Reveal," "Love Me In A Special Way," and in honor of Black History Month, he reworks "A Dream" as a dedication to the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Motown Returns to the Apollo (Live in New York, NY) 1985 Soul / R&B / Pop / Tap Dance

Harlem's Apollo Theater is, hands-down, the single most important institution in the history of black American performing arts. It was first built in 1913 as a burlesque venue for only white patrons, but by 1934, its white owners transformed it into a space to showcase black performers. And from that year on, and into the mid-70s, it played a decisive role as a launching pad for an abundance of highly successful careers, from music, to dance, to comedy.

However, after having rode its high throughout the 60s, the Apollo would find itself in dire financial straits, and for a multitude of different reasons, its doors were shuttered in 1976. There were then a whole bunch of fits and starts to have it reopened, and eventually, after a thorough, years-long renovation process, it sprang back to life in 1985, and a legendary concert called Motown Returns to the Apollo would mark its long-awaited grand reopening.

So, take a look at some of this incredible concert bill, folks, which simultaneously celebrates The Apollo's past, while also showcasing a mid-80s present: DeBarge, George Michael, Smokey Robinson, The Manhattans, The Drifters, The Temptations, The Four Tops, Mary Wells, Martha Reeves, Stevie Wonder, Rod Stewart, Nile Rodgers, Billy Preston, Joe Cocker, Patti Labelle, Jennifer Holliday, Thelma Houston, Marilyn McCoo, Vanessa Williams, Debbie Allen, New Edition, Boy George, Wilson Pickett, Chuck Johnson, Little Richard, Mavis Staples, Al Green, Sarah Vaughan, Billy Eckstine, James Brown, Luther Vandross, The Commodores, Lou Rawls, and Diana Ross. Such a magnificent concert for the ages, but unfortunately, it was hosted by Bill Cosby 😫.

Now, something that particularly struck me about this whole production is what they ended up deciding to call it—Motown Returns to the Apollo—because there's a whole bunch of people on this bill that were never actually on Motown itself. But I guess the sound of soul and R&B from the 60s to mid-80s had just become synonymous with the name of the label anyway, even if they'd never actually released a lot of the music that came out of it. And when someone's describing their taste in music, and they say that they like Motown, they're probably actually referring to more than just that one powerhouse label, and more so the type of music that they and a whole lot of other outfits were putting out. But it's still interesting to refer to it that way when naming a concert, though.

Anyway, you should definitely try to fully immerse yourself in this whole show, but I'm gonna timestamp some of my absolute favorite performances here, a few of which include some truly incredible belting feats from Patti Labelle, whose every appearance on this one night was pure magic; especially with the gospel tune, "You'll Never Walk Alone," which she delivered with the help of Little Richard, Mavis Staples, Billy Preston, Al Green, and the New Jersey Mass Choir. I'm not even a remotely religious person, but that's probably one of the most powerful performances that I've ever seen in my life. Good lord 🤯.

Sam Harris - "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" Stevie Wonder - "Sir Duke" Billy Preston, Joe Cocker, & Patti Labelle - "You Are So Beautiful" Little Richard, Mavis Staples, Billy Preston, Al Green, Patti Labelle, & the New Jersey Mass Choir - "Joy Joy Joy Down in My Heart"/"You'll Never Walk Alone" James Brown - "Please Please Please" Diana Ross with everyone - "I Want to Know What Love Is"

And the show wasn't limited to strictly music, either. There was some amazing tap dancing too!

Gregory Hines - "Tribute to Teddy Hale" Tap Dancing Showcase, with Bunny Briggs, Chuck Green, Gregg Burge, Ludie Jones, Jimmy Slyde, Sandman Sims, Harold Nicholas, & Sammy Davis, Jr.

February! This is a short playlist because I saw I it was almost at 2 hours and 28 minutes long and then got it to 2 hours and 28 minutes and then couldn't change it. Because how cool is that?!

There are a lot of what could be construed as romantic or pseudo-romantic songs on here but I think actually a lot of songs are about big feels in general so it's more of an accident. There are also a couple of songs on here ('Do You Want To Touch Me' and 'Tumbling Down') that I will only ever associate with Velvet Goldmine, which is honestly one of my favourite movies ever.

I could have sworn 'To Be Rich - Should Be A Crime' has shown up on monthly playlists before, but looking back at spreadsheets I guess not. I first heard it as the cover by Cola Boyy, which absolutely bops. I think about this song a lot.

Anyway here's a link to February's playlist on Spotify, with the track list below the cut.

Maybe I will also try embedding it?

Will Bunny DeBarge's Daughter Forgive Her for Her Disease?

[rendezvouz-fling]

Astro Observations #13

• Gemini/Aquarius/Libra placements might be into 70s/80s music and might be very drawn to the “Minneapolis Sound”. E.g. Prince, Sheila E, Ready for the world, Vanity/Apollonia 6, André Cymone, The Time, Dez Dickerson, etc…

• Water suns with Air placements tend to have sweet and sometime sultry singing voices that sound similar to Bunny DeBarge, Syreeta, Patrice Rushen, etc… They literally give me ‘I love every little thing about you’ by Syreeta vibes!!✨💗

• Most big famous singing families tend to have Water placements in their big 3/6!!

• People with Earth placements in their Singer persona chart tend to develop their singing styles a little more slowly than others but it also gives them more time to experiment with their voice and therefore be really great singers!!💜

• Taurus placements love cooking for their loved ones and they turn out to be really great cooks where as some Virgo placements especially Suns aren’t that great at cooking.

• Air moons with Air risings need to stop ghosting their friends because they’ll literally become addicted.🤧

• Air moons can be very much “Hollier than thou” type people without literally saying it. They just give off those vibes especially when they’re around Fire moons.✋🏽🌚

• Leo suns with Gemini moons and Leo mercuries are such big gossips!!! They’re also very bold, loud, sometimes caring and very funny people!!

• Air/Earth mixes in the big 3 are so ethereal??💗

• Let a Sagittarius moon/stellium go on about their days and don’t cling onto them and they’ll love you forever!!

• Libra Jupiters tend to have a lot of Leo Jupiter besties!💕

• Virgo moons and dropping their subject then asking the person about it again at least 100 times.💀

• Virgo moons with Water placements will literally wanna apologize all the time if they feel like they’ve upset you and that sinks my heart.🥺

• Taurus moons will literally have so much patience with their loved ones!🤎

• Taurus placements prefer gummies over chocolates.

• As impulsive as people may think Sagittarius moons are, they’ll actually let you talk and listen to what you have to say.

• A lot of rockstars tend to have Aquarius, Gemini and Sagittarius in their big 3/6! E.g. Vince Neil (Aqua sun, Gemini rising), Axl Rose (Aquarius sun/mercury/Jupiter/Mars/Saturn), Nikki Sixx (Sagittarius sun/mercury/venus), Tom Keifer (Aquarius sun, Gemini moon) etc…

• Aries/Sagittarius sun kids are those brave kids sit around telling scary stories to scare other kids lmao, they’re also the types to spread a fake rumor about having seen a ghost. Usually the ones you’d find playing Bloody Mary and Charlie Charlie in school.😭

• Virgo sun Virgo moon kids are the momma’s babies!!

• Girls with Air/Fire placements are usually daddy’s girls.

• Some Capricorn sun Pisces moon men tend to look like their mother’s twins!

• Fire suns tend to be goofballs when it’s karaoke night.😂

• Fire mars mothers lose their tempers as a hobby atp. 😭✋🏽

• Pisces suns with Pisces mercuries are such softies!🥺

• Gemini placements 🤝 bouncing their legs, standing up then walking for a few seconds and sitting back down, scratching themselves, pulling their hairs or biting their nails when nervous to the point of habitually doing it.🥲

• Capricorn suns with a Virgo stellium are so sexy?! 🥵 Donna Summer had this placement!😮‍💨

• Gemini risings and Leo risings are the type to bring food with them to a cafe and boldly eat it because ‘they paid for it’.😂
