The Battle for Cultural Identity: Why It Matters
Forgiving your ex for moving on without you
You are forgiven… I don’t think you need to ask for my forgiveness and why should you? You did what any man would have done, moved on with his life. And life only moves forward… its alright. You did the right thing ! As long as you keep your new girlfriend happy, I am happy because it would mean I helped your new relationship in some way, I helped you be a better man for her, I helped you by putting you directly in her path when things got difficult between us. I wish you both happiness of the forever kind, you see because happiness is so elusive to achieve. It’s such a human folly that, no two lovers can ever be truly happy together, they can compromise, surrender to each other’s will or even collaborate, but to be happy always with each other is such an elusive thing! I am not saying I don’t want you both to be blissful, but I am afraid you both won’t always. So its stupid of my silly self to be envious of your new love life, because fate is cruel to all without selective consideration. I hope you learn from the mistakes of all your past relationships and aim to understand her and not to please her, I hope you are attuned to her needs and keep them above your wants, I hope you both an intimate relationship, a relationship filled with more positive experiences than negative. No relationship is perfect. I hope you learn to make peace with that and understand that it’s okay to be with each other and not always be happy. P.s. - I will always love you even though I would cross the road to avoid you.
Scorpio North Node in the 2nd House
This is a tricky placement to understand as the signs and the ruler of house is reversed. 2nd house is originally ruled by Taurus, but having north node in the 2nd house means having to go beyond your comfort zone into the unknown territories.
The sign of your north node shows what work you have to produce in this lifetime, whereas your house placement shows which area of life will be affected.
First let’s break things down, you have your north node in 2nd house, what that means is the area of life which is concerned with your value system, money, even love for that matter, finding financial stability on your own and using your financial stability to increase your self-esteem.
In this lifetime, you are here to pay off the debt you have to yourself in terms of fully supporting yourself. You have to become financially independent, emotionally independent, become resourceful so that you can always provide for yourself, not rely on other people’s money, or taking loans from other people, taking credit, depending on other people’s resources or using astrology to make yourself money in this lifetime. It is also important not to overly indulge in sexual desires and ruled by Taurus, keep your jealousy in check and be loyal as the bull, do not be disloyal to your lover and do not use sexual favours to get ahead in life. Stick to your values and principles of how to use money.
Be determined and persistent in your goals, do not procrastinate or give in to self-sabotage. Be kind to yourself and others as this signifies a higher level of Venus. Promote beauty and indulge in enjoying the five senses without over indulging. Be cautious about the seven deadly sins, namely, greed, envy, wrath, lust, gluttony, sloth and of course pride. Do not stick to the status quo, and let go of over indulging in any sense. Use your resources judiciously, use what is required and help others freely.
Moving to your north node in the sign of Scorpio, you have to learn to be an authentic individual, what that means is that in your previous lives, you could get away by being the naive, innocent bull, not knowing anything and being the inauthentic/polite smiler who couldn’t cultivate any real relationship with others for the fear of upsetting the boat as you didn’t like drama, but in this life, you need to dig deeper into your emotions and find your inner strength in them. Be resilient, you can fight any battle, Scorpio being co-ruled by Mars and Pluto is the silent warrior, you have within you to fight whatever battle comes your way. Be self-disciplined, have self-respect, if you are able to cultivate these two in you, you will also develop self-love which is the goal of north node in 2nd house.
North node in Scorpio asks you to be the psychologist, or the detective, policeman, investigator, archaeologist, surgeon, healer, and shaman, anything to do with digging deeper into psyche. Learning about people by understanding their body language, gaining emotional intelligence, learning empathy and having empathy for your fellows.
Developing self-awareness and other awareness, knowing what other people want and providing it for them. Developing your 6th sense, and using your intuition to help the world as a healer.
Building physical endurance, treating your body well through exercise and taking care of your well-being. Do not over indulge rather use your resources to help others. Be ego less, and learn not to accumulate wealth but rather to give it away freely. You have to earn money in this life for sure, but earn only that much which is required for your sustenance, do not become greedy and learn to share your resources freely. Don’t be stingy in sex, give your body freely to your partner and focus on satisfying their needs first. Ask yourself what do other people need and give it to them without completely sacrificing your boundaries.
Finally, after combining both the interpretations, your north node in Scorpio in the 2nd house is asking you to be financially/emotionally/physically(health wise)/(value system wise) independent through learning about yourself and the other, by helping others, by healing others, through connection, by becoming a psychologist/policeman/politician/lawyer/all Pluto professions. Be independent and help other become empowered.
Do not rely on others, get in the drama, take loans of any monetary kind, passive income, or shared resources or inheritance. Do not accumulate resources, be rigid or unlikely to change, don’t be stubborn and not see or understand other people’s point of view. Put an end to all that and focus on becoming a complete individual, who is authentic and helps other people achieve their fullest potential.
Scorpio North node in the 2nd house edit:
Life purpose in 2 words: Independently resourceful
Taurus south node in 8th house:
You were dependent on others, occultist (8th house) by being emotionally grounded, for income, inner satisfaction, peace, stability etc. Used others resources and were financially dependent on others and you were a collectivist, didn’t rock the boat. Was stable in temperament, never questioned your emotions or self-worth or your values as you were dependent on others.
Scorpio north node in 2nd house:
You have to be independent in earning income, so you cannot complain about not being satisfied. Standing on your own two feet. Secondly, doing so by being intuitive, self-aware and other aware. Delving deeper.
Past life: - finding a practical solution to other people’s problems.
This lifetime: - being independent through your intense emotionality.
Past life folly: - being an unaware occultist and trying to help others too practically. Unable to understand the essence of the problem, unable to make them understand the gravity of the problem as you yourself lacked the resources to fully delve deeply.
This life: Truly understanding others deeply. Being self-aware would lend you the lens of other awareness. Minding your own business, working to achieve your dreams and goals through self-discipline and self-love. Becoming a self-sufficient psychologist. Enjoying the pleasures of life deeply and truly.
So basically you have to understand the deeper psyche of individuals, dive deeply, and understand where people are coming from to generate personal wealth for yourself and to enjoy worldly wishes deeply.
Past life: - helping others practically through farming for everyone. Being the mother earth.
This life: - helping yourself by healing your past traumas and using the power of your traumas to express yourself and through self-love and achieving your goals, by being and looking deeply within yourself,
Motto: “I heal others through healing myself.”
Message by my favorite Tan astrology for this placement:
“You are here to learn to value strategy, resourcefulness, and authenticity. At your core, this axis however can kinda lead you to fall into the obsession with the money making process and the power that “it”(money) brings that you may without realizing it kinda push or knock out other people out of your path in your process to success. So one of the things you may be willing to really value in your path to success is your INNER POWER and developing inner strength, inner transparency rather than secrecy.”
A note from Alfred Adler (a psychologist) from the book, “The courage to be happy” on self-reliance:
When a child is born, he is the center of his own little universe. His power is almost godlike: he only has to cry for others to comfort him, feed him, or rock him. “’Me’- the child learns-‘I’ am the most important thing in the world.” Of course, he might be powerful, but he is also completely dependent. And if he is to successfully complete the journey from dependence to self-reliance, he will need to let go of the very thing he holds so dearly: the idea of “me” as the center of the universe.
So, how does he do this?
The key message here is: Love supports the transition from dependence to self-reliance.
Adler believed that true self-reliance could only be unlocked through love. You might be forgiven for thinking the great psychologist had lost the plot here- doesn’t love mean losing yourself to someone else?
Well, that was exactly his point. See, the self-reliance that Adler has been talking about all along isn’t intended to divorce us from others. It’s a self-reliance that opens us up. As Adler himself put it, “Self-reliance is breaking away from self-centeredness.”
When we are self-reliant, we can meet our own needs. That allows us to exist harmoniously in society without demanding that others cater to our desires or give us a sense of self-worth. And it’s only when we have reached this level that we are able to build true partnerships. It’s through these partnerships, contends Adler, that lasting happiness is born.
Real happiness. Not self-interested happiness, which is focused on our own feelings, and not other-interested happiness, that is concerned with the happiness of our partner. Adler believed that this is the kind of happiness that can only occur when two people leave “me” behind and create a new connection that belongs to, and serves, “us”.
So, this is the final step on a child’s journey from dependence to self-reliance: entering into love, whether romantic or platonic, and finally relinquishing “me” for “we”.
“The best part of your life will be those small, nameless moments you spent with someone who matters to you.”

Kale I used to have an office hubby when I was still at TROI media, now that I am at Buzz Avenue, I work with mostly women, and I have only office sisters. But guys, office partners are a very vital part of life, let us discuss. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️ https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp0C1faIeBo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
This month of March, we discuss all the toilet etiquette that no one has taken time to share with you. Yes, toilet etiquette is not just for young humans, but for adults as well. So for the next 4 weeks, we shall dive deep into different toilet etiquettes and how to psychologically be a better toilet user. Let us start right away. This week, we discuss Toilet Empathy. Toilet empathy means being considerate and understanding of others when using shared bathroom facilities. It involves being aware of how your actions and behavior can affect others in the same space, and making an effort to be respectful and courteous. The toilet should be a place of peace, comfort and respect. Respect for our body because of the work it does to ensure we function efficiently, respect for other users and respect for the space in general. So the question you should ask yourself every time you use the toilet is, am I practicing toilet empathy and thinking about other users or am I only thinking about my toilet needs? Next week, we shall discuss the different ways to practice toilet empathy. Happy Toilet Empathy lifestyle for the month of March. Love and Light.

This is where I feel the most joy when I receive great feedback after doing something I truly love and enjoy. On the 25th of February, 2023, I was honored to give a speech for my wonderful Rotary Club, Saturday E Jazz, where about 60 -70 people attended both virtually and physically. I spoke about the one thing that will transform the way you approach your day. I will give a summary here: If the time you wake up is the most important part of your day, it is high time that we start to focus on the time we sleep and how we feel when we fall asleep. This is because as you fall asleep, you are updating your life software just like you update your phone apps or software. This happens when you are falling asleep because the subconscious mind operates in alpha, beta, and theta states of sleep. Anyways so much to explain, will do a video.. love you guys.

Whatever you do as a Christian girl, do not date a Muslim man during Valentines. Do everything in your power to break up with them just before Valentines and reconcile right before Idi. This man just told me that it is Haram to celebrate Valentine's day in Islam and that I should wait for 26th February when we are having the 1st edition of Roast and Rhyme at Jahazi Pier, it is a reggae ragga vibe and that I can ask for all the meat and flowers I want then... I am devastated. Someone send me flowers and lipstick and lip gloss and Twilly d'Hermes perfume...

This new year is a combination of all my elements, fire, water, air, and earth. We are starting a new year of harvest after sowing, and for us who are astrologers, we are in the final month of the astrological year, so we need to do the final sowing before we reap. There is no mountain too high, no ocean too deep, no river too wide to cross, the faith we have gets us through all challenges in life. This new year is my year of SUPER TESTIMONIES. HIRE ME AS YOUR EVENTS MC. https://www.instagram.com/p/CoVmFwrLoxu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
