Today is like.. 💥#womensmarch 🎵: Bossy, Kelis 💪🏻 Stay tuned for my first ever oracle card reading. 🎱In the meantime & if you have a chance, please click the link in profile for something a little up the down staircase... 💱 P.S. So proud of all those who marched today; proving just how strong & powerful the women of today are- and have always been. ⚡️💜💃🏼

Bringing it all home.. 🌈See music video link in profile for 🎵: Don't Stop Me Now by Queen- part of an entire journey to the moon and back & Around the World in 29 Acts. 🌙 Through a pop culture lens, the PLAY-list: Up the Down Staircase, tells my story of coming back to life, opening the door of perception to anyone willing & wanting to take a walk in someone else's shoes. 👠👠👀 🎱: "My philosophical conviction is that we did not come to keep the world as it is. We came to the world in order to remake the world. We have to change reality." -Paulo Freire 💫

(1/3) Because not everything means everything, sometimes you just want to dance to The Fugees like no one's watching. 🙌🏻 If anything, this play is my interpretation of the sun card in tarot for the 19th .. 🔆 perhaps also applying to the day after tomorrow as well. 🌊🤷🏼‍♀️ There are many ways to play it. 🎺 🎨 (link in bio) ✨

(2/3) Because sometimes it's just nice to have a visual to go along with what you're listening to; perhaps enhancing the feeling of the music through color or by opening the door to experience the sounds in a new way, illuminating new neural pathways, creating bridges in the mind for information to travel.. There are endless possibilities found dancing in the space between. 🌚🌝 With a process more or less spontaneous, I usually realize in retrospect the connections made so that through reflection, new connections form.. Often stumbling across a song with key words that describe pitstops taken along the path.📍At this point, the project begins to take on a life of its own, the concepts finding their own connections- perhaps guiding, as I curate and tune each play behind the scenes. Allowing for twists and turns as I discover more. 👀 Over the past year or so I admittedly have been pretty much a hermit; foregoing most forms of media & outside influence, with the exception of instagram as a creative outlet & for tracking change. I like to challenge myself so I wondered what would happen if I were to rely only on personal experience, removing myself as much as possible from external stimuli & social expectations and instead focusing mainly on what I was interested in learning about, researching a vast number of topics & developing new skills- knowing each idea then blossomed out of a personal & organic train of thought. I came to think of learning as making a wish; because to live your interests & inspirations creates the experience, the magic. 💫 🎵: Moon River, Morrissey 🌌 • playlist in profile •

(1/3) 📽 A conversation between Edie & Andy, like a humorous narration going on inside my head portraying the song choice indecision I was feeling yesterday. ⚖️ Getting back on track .. I'm blending the transiting energy for the 17th, 18th & 19th into tonight's play instead- also mixing with my own midpoint planetary placement as ref. points. ✨ Isolating specific energetic degrees called critical degrees furthers this idea of an exploration into the different facets of one's own personality, as seen through a musical, astrological-nomical lens. 🔭👁 Like this play of critical degrees that are found in a person's chart: each degree also represents a point in space- that, once combined, form new important points or markers along one's journey.📍 On a parallel dimension, each of play focuses on different facets of the music, harmonizing movement with melody or rhythm, lyrics & so on. A colorful metronome. 🌈 Follow the 🔗 for behind the veil- or like a Being John Malchovich peak into my mind at the moment ... Find the trail of connections or just enjoy the entertainment. 🗺

⛵️ Sailing into the weekend with butterflies & dedicated to my first love: fashion 🦋 After a long week, 🎵#TheCure: Friday I'm in Love ❤️ Friday, associated with Venus/Aphrodite/Frigga- goddesses of love, beauty & art. 🎨 Along the same wavelength, Hegel discusses romantic art as taking on three forms..."each progressively more spiritualized: painting, whose medium is already idealized by the fact that it represents three-dimensional space in two dimensions; music, whose medium is constantly fleeting, and highly expressive of inward light; and finally poetry, whose medium of language is the most spiritual of all, the universal art which includes within itself the totality of art." (Philosophies of Art and Beauty)📱On your screen: the transitory & fleeting energies of nature, music and visual language. 👯Coming together, dance with today's planetary midpoints- all becoming by way of Venus. 🌹Some may steal time, but I prefer to play with it. 💫 🎱: "Nothing ever is, but all things are becoming. All things are the offspring of flux and motion." -Plato 🌊 *#musicvideo link in profile containing boatloads of visual candy to fuel your #imagination 💌🍭👀

🎱: I secretly enjoy the ability to fly but walk as a compromise to convention. 🎵: A Whole New World, Aladdin🏺🐒🌀✨(scene clip in profile) Growing up my family had a rug collection from the Middle East; some Kilims were hundreds of years old and I tried out each of them, convinced I'd uncover a carpet that could fly because of this movie. 👀 Watch The Last Unicorn & The Boy Who Could Fly for other favorite weird/fun/cultish/creepy childhood movies. 🦄 Looking back, it seems I've always wished to fly.. 💫🐥✈️ #TBT #Disney #Aladdin

You Are Here ⭐️ Pluto is a generational (dwarf) planet and those born between 1983/4-1995 all have Pluto positioned under the sign of #Scorpio. 🦂 Today, January 11th, the midpoint between the sun & Pluto takes on an air/mental/forward looking quality in Aquarius. 🌬 This energetic play shows all the planetary points in the #solarsystem that fall within the constellation of #Aquarius.📍🎵: My Generation, #TheWho 🌌🎨📊 🎱: "To everything there is a season and a time for every purpose under the heaven: A time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance." - Ecclesiastes 3 : 1. 4 🔆 *music video link in profile ✔️

🎱New-Age-Belle-Époque: my interpretation of now. 📽 #technicolor Serpentine Dance choreographed by Loie Fuller (1891). Loie, from #Chicago, was a pioneer in early free dance and lighting design; combining choreography of her own improvisations with silk costumes illuminated by multi-colored theatrical lighting. She became the embodiment of the Art Nouveau movement. 💃🏼 x 🎵: Past Lives, Børns 💫 Runway inspiration: an all-white collection shown with similar lighting effect, allowing multiple colorways for each garment to be shown in a see-now-order-now, color experience. 👗 🌈 Coming Together: punctuating this juncture of the overall, neverending story is Selene #moon goddess mythology brought to life. 🌙
