Hello beautiful people! Later on this week, I will have a Five Dollar Friday Sale where any topic can be talked about. Please refer to my guidelines if you are interested in booking with me! Today, I will be giving you all some predictions about the upcoming month. I hope that those who resonate will continue to support me. For those of you who have been supporting me, I thank you. Without further ado, please select the quote that resonates with you.
Left-to-Right: (1-3)
Pile One: I am getting Taurus energy from this pile. I feel like you are going to be walking away from a situation that no longer serves you in May. It's going to hurt. But on the bright side, at least you are done with that chapter in your life. I feel like you are inviting new energy into your life though. It feels lively. I think that you need to be careful though if you go out to a hookah bar, or just go out into the nightlife in general. I am seeing that you will be going to a cookout. I am seeing the image of a thermometer's heat rising. I feel like you may have tension with someone that's super thick, lol. All in all, I feel that this month for you will determine the theme of this summer for you all. You got your wings, you've been promoted! It may be hard to focus on the positives because of your circumstances but you will survive. This month will feel weird because it’s like your on two ends of the spectrum. One part is good and the other is gone to shit, but all will work in your favor boo! See the good in life.
Cards Used: Page of Cups, Queen of Discs, Ace of Cups, 5 of Discs, The World, 10 of Swords, Justice.
Pile Two: Idk why but your energy reminds me of Natalie Nunn lol. Not the messy parts but the part about her where she's unintentionally funny and fun to be around. Your energy feels very much party girl, I could easily get in this section if I wanted to type of vibe. Anyway, I think that you are going to be strengthening some platonic connections that you already have. But I also think that you're going to cut someone loose --- someone who has been around for a while. The name Harold comes to mind. Have you eaten Harold's Chicken as of recently, lol? I think that you're going to have sharper instincts as a result. You're going to see people for who they are. I am seeing the image of a butterfly flying on someone's nose. You will be growing up in the month of May. There is an emphasis on meditation. You're being called to devoting your time to staying in the present. You're being asked to go within and get more introspective. Also, cut back on the refined sugars. I think you'll be listening to Amaraae and Solange more often this month as well.
Cards Used: King of Cups, 3 of Cups, Strength, Death, King of Swords, The Hermit, Prince of Discs, 2 of Swords, The Lovers.
extras: big eyes. blonde hair. shapely. wiz khalifa. stunna shades. "i ain't going nowhere." "get comfy." gloomy. rainbow tips.
Pile Three: Someone in this pile is going to be reuniting with their family at a prom sendoff, at a graduation, a party. Either way, it will be a celebration. This pile will also be very grateful in the month of May. You are also going to have many opportunities to make quick money with the people that you love (not necessarily family but anyone that makes you feel safe). A love opportunity will be coming through for you as well. I don't see this as something you should take serious. I think you want to be independent right now, that person understands and they will give you your space for the time being. If you're trying to curate an event, don't worry too much about what people will think because it's going to be a big turnout regardless. I think some of you will be going to a wedding or will be getting married. So, congratulations to that! I also think that some of you will be meeting your future spouses in this pile (you won't know it yet though). Overall, I feel that this month is a great month for you to focus on community building.
Cards Used: The Emperor, The Hierophant, 9 of Swords, King of Wands, Justice, 3 of Discs, 8 of Wands, 4 of Wands, Ace of Cups.
extras: entrepreneurial spirit. aquamarine. blue butterflies. single father. "something cute, something for the summertime."

If hiphop clubs in NYC didn't become extinct due to gentrification, they'd be dying a natural death now.
Think about it, we don't listen to music the same way anymore, and no new artist has the same pull or reach as they would have twenty years ago.
We're exposed to so many great artists now it's like none of them really get to be put on like that.
Ever since 15 Minutes of Fame became 15 Seconds and the culture surrounding the music (hip-hop & RnB radio stations, hip-hop fashion, camping out for album releases, listening parties, hip-hop CLUBS, music video releases being a huge event, and hip-hop news being relegated to a handful of sources like magazines and dedicated shows and segments like Rap City, 108 and park, Yo MTV raps etc.)
Was basically murdered due to a lethal combination of the internet spreading news much faster than print or even TV, the music becoming more and more easily accessible and thus leading to albums and EPs being treated like one-time listens forcing artists to crank out work at a breakneck pace (I remember not to long ago that 2 months was NOT a long wait for a new album), and music executives realizing that white suburban teenagers liked hiphop just as much as Black people and they were willing to pay through the nose for things like fave artist's brand of cell phones and stunna shades it was over.
Think about it like this, 20 years ago 30 years ago, you could imagine Outkast playing the Super Bowl. But could you imagine Earthgang? Thundercat? How about grouptherapy.?
Can you imagine a Rapsody concert that can pull Lauryn Hill numbers? These are all very talented artists but there's this shift in hip-hop now that it somewhat left its core base behind.
I don't wanna call it a death, but I feel like it's def a rebirth. We're living through the age of the last hiphop stars I think. There are always gonna be rappers with pop or mainstream appeal, but I think we're done seeing Missy Elliot levels of hiphop's influence on the mainstream.
Young Bo$$, Miss Trina, Pitbull
Let's show them how we keep down
I party like a rockstar
Look like a movie star

Fuck like a pornstar

My alien queen is adopting human fashion to blend in. Unfortunately her knowledge of human fashion is a bit...dated. (She's also unaware humans don't have head tentacles. Everyone's just staring at her rad new earrings, right?)
