Islam Moors- giv thanks for your patience during my hiatus from the Moor Astrology blog. Aquarius was a busy time for me- I somewhat anticipated it, because the science and art of Astrology is represented by Aquarius. Not to mention, it's in my 6th House, which rules over employment and service to others...in other words, many charts were done within the past 4 weeks. For those that are skeptical of astrology, the moor you study, the moor you shall see.
Shout Out to the Pisces Birthdays Ida McNeill Lee (my mama) Jasmine Lee (my sister) Charlie McNeill (my grandfather, RIP) E.Badu Stahhr: (Moorish Emcee: check her music n site by clicking on her name). Also, check next Friday on B.Selah for a feature on this Dope A$$ SiStAr emcee.

Islam Family, Inspired to write a post today about our current astrological climate. Today is the 2nd day of Winter (with Capricorn at 1°). The Moon trines our Sun in Virgo, which incites our ability to manifest. For Cap and Virgo are Earth signs. The root of manifest is mani which in Latin is manus, which means hand (physical realm). Earth is the slowest vibrations of all 4 elements. It is the culmination of the spark of life (fire), the mental energies (air), and said energies in motion (water) that creates the Earth. The soul, mind, and spirit bodies create the flesh. So above and unseen, so below and is shown. Jupiter is currently in Cancer. In traditional astrology, that is a most favorable placement- I think it is because Cancer is the Cosmic mother/portal to the spiritual realm, and Jupiter is expanded consciousness. When we are open and patient and nurtured, we are able to access universal consciousness and grow without inhibitions. The opposite of this would be Capricorn, and not only is the Sun present, but so is Pluto. Pluto is also expansion and growth, but from within. Planets in opposition are supposed to create a balance between two energies. Thus, we are experience a direct relation between our inner and outer growth. The moor we handle our inner demons, the moor our consciousness expands.... This is further elucidated through Saturn. Saturn, typically ruler of Capricorn, is in Scorpio (home to Pluto). Here, Pluto and Saturn flip flop- but the message is clear. Wherever the energies exist in your chart is where you need to do some inner soul discipline. You need to be that old teacher that won't let you turn in mediocre work for half credit- it's all or none. And most importantly, don't try to hide from your Self because like Bob Marley (PBUHI say "you can't run away from yourSelf" Uranus opposes Mars (Aries-Libra respectively)- Uranus is great sudden change. It's like a wind that blows through your home and just and quickly, blow right out- what is left depends on the sign. In Aries, it brings a trail of fire- starting something new and burning the old at the same time. And Mars, which is action and energy itSelf, is in Libra- it's the cool, fall breeze that swirls the leaves and refreshes our minds with lov and beauty. Our revolutionary fire is balanced with the winds of unity- deep breathes and fire breathes can bring us to the lov and light within our Hearts and minds. Speaking of lov, Venus is at 26° Capricorn (God degree)- it is in retrograde as well. Retrogrades give us a chance to stay in an energy long enough to master it in our own personal charts. Many people think retrogrades are all negative, but I also think we need to stay in a particular energy if we have been missing the mark. With the Creator, there are no mis-takes, only opportunities for us to learn and grow. Venus here stands alone- so when all the dust settles from the ups and downs we experience (how do we reach balance without experiencing inbalance), we will know that the most important principle to stand is LOV. without it, we lack TRUTH, PEACE, FREEDOM, and JUSTICE. Weeks ago, I recall stating that between July and December, Uranus would be in retrograde. He went direct on Dec. 17th, same day as the Full Moon. Basically, it's all catching up to us. Be open and aware, be diligent, but most importantly, be open to TRU knowledge via deep investigation from within. Be logical and disciplined and you will hear the voice of Allah. Stay tru, and always follow through. Beware of Moors that seek to take you off your square- whether that be in mindstate, in emotional body, in your physical (what you eat, where you go), etc...and KNOW YOURSELF... Merry Christmas to you All (the time of Moor Light) Happy Solstice (The Days the Sun stands Still) Happy New (Fiscal) Year ...and Islam Welcome Sag- you came in like the cold ass air that we recently experienced in the last couple of days. To those that were ready to embrace the change, you welcome this like a breath of fresh air...don't you know the cold allows you to knock away the BS in life to make room for beauty and finances and lov? Okay, so Sag is a bit blunt and can hav a brutal tongue...we need people to dish out a tongue lashing now and then. Some of these people just don't get it, right?
Well, you better start listening to that Sag friend that comes your way. The Sag energy is the perfect blend of ambition, risk, and discipline- that is, when we know where it is and how it affects us in our lives'. Sag is the Centaur- half man, half beast. The beast follows its instincts, while the man with the arrow sets the direction and never looks back. Stay tuned to Moor Astrology for moor Sag updates...Lov n Light Greetings family,
As promised, this is my summary of the Scorpio season. Remember, Scorpio is regeneration. Started from the bottom- the scorpion and the vengeful spirit. We all have this within us affecting a particular area of our lives. For some, the influence is heavier than others. Since last year when Saturn entered Scorpio, we have been forced to look at these deep emotions and deal with them, lest the come back to us with the spiteful energy that we have held in (or perhaps spewed out). During the Scorpio season, we are given jewels as to how to approach these emotions- the result being a stronger connection between our Higher Selves and the Goddess, Moon, Mother. I felt it from Day One- i knew it was here when I started falling behind on my work. Virgo is my rising, so I can appear to have it "all together", but in reality, I am that messy Scorpio Moon. But this year, I approached it as the time for me to sift and sort through the muck and preserve the Light Energy- this is in our minds, our relationships, our finances, etc (depending on where Scorpio falls in your chart). I've been really lazy this season, but I realize that it isn't lazy so much as needing a rest. I have been working six days a week, four different teaching jobs, including my own business. I'm tired. I took on too much in Virgo, tryna be perfect, and Now, I am paying for it. This energy came to a head the other day. The Moon was in Aries, which rubbed my little Scorpio Moon the wrong way. That Mars is such an aggressor, when most times, I just wanna be the Moon- cool, calm, collected, and oh-so-powerful... I realized that this energy is moor so fear than anything else. Fear of being wrong. Fear of looking foolish- intelligence and efficiency rule my chart, so if I"m not on point, I feel like I'm the worst. Being afraid of opening mySelf to Lov from all because of feeling I shouldn't have Lov. Who is to say that we cannot hav it ALL?? Greatness is who we are, at our Core, at Our Being. Why? Because we were created/We Created Self in Greatness...in Lov...and in Light. And Really, we Already hav it all, if we jus remember/re-call that at the times that we feel the lower Self creeping, trying to overtake us... That is Scorpio- the phoenix Rising. I know I hav risen- now it is time to implement what I hav learned through this time period. To allow this Lov to expand and grow...For we are all One- thus, we must allow Self to b apart of this universal Light. ..Ashe and Islam.. SBey Good afternoon family A short post for you all today- it's SCORPIO SEASON. Although we've been in Scorpio for over a week, someone on FB stated that the "real" Scorpio does not start until November. I'm not necessarily inclined to agree, but I do feel the intensity moor at this junction in time. Today is All Soul's Day. Yesterday was All Saint's Day. And Thursday was the "Day of the Dead" (Halloween). Celebrated in Southwest Amexum (Mexico), these holidays are to commemorate those that have passed form (the deceased). Scorpio energy is well-known for contacting the "dead". The ancients knew what they were doing.
Today is my Grandma's birthday. She was/is a Scorpio with an Aries Moon. She was sharp and always could tell if I was lying about something. Everyone loved being around her because of her realness (always count of Scorpios to 'tell-it-like-it-is'). My Grandma showered her grandchildren with lov in her own way. I remember her singing her lil' songs while she was cooking up her infamous biscuits in my momma's kitchen (which btw, the recipe transitioned with her). I remember she used to tell my lil' sister to stop pullin' limbs and heads off Barbie dolls cus one day they'd come back and pull her limbs and heads. LOL LOL. I am writing this today because it is HER day- and I know she is still here watching and guiding us all. Last year on my birthday, a woman did a reading for me (unexpectedly- I just happened to be at her daughter's house before they all moved). She was an Albion married to a Nigerian. She did not look like a person that I thought could tell me ANYTHING. Remember, I'm a MOOR! Well, she told me that she saw someone behind me with silver hair. She said that they were my guardian spirit. I knew immediately that is my Grandma. And I hav been talking to her and my paternal grandmother EVER SINCE. Rest In Peace Grandma. I lov you. We all do. Welcome Libra, ruled by Venus...and honors to Ma'at...ashe to Oshun...honors to Venus...giv thanks to Aphrodite...I welcome SaLaaM (peace), balance, and harmony. And Giv thanks to Amor (LOV). The Moon is in Taurus, which is also ruled by Venus. The Morning Star truly rules over this first day of Autumn. Mercury is also in Libra. This is a time for relaxation; balance; beauty; the arts; and the finer things in life. And most importantly, this is the energy of partnerships. The first half of the year (Aries to Virgo) is about developing the Self. Virgo is physical perfection. But what is life without companionship and a reflection by which one is able to see personal progress. To be in partnership/relationship with someone is one of the most spiritually challenging experiences in this life- it is no longer about ME; it's about WE. We are made to become our Higher Selves because we realize our every action and thought, affects those around us. Shout out to all the married couples- both newlyweds and those who been in the game. So while you flitter in your lov state, there are those that have some moor developing to do before they meet their own reflection. Be careful, for Venus is in Scorpio- jealousy is ever-present, and Uranus in Pisces, friends can be hidden enemies- unbeknownst to themselves. Even take caution in your relationships; with Mercury in Libra, jealous thoughts and ideas may permeate your mind. Jus go deeper into yourSelf- you know what is tru... Libra is also business success and partnerships- it's a good time for us to be building up our business. Aries was the time to start it, now Libra is the time to develop it. Of course, this is all dependent on your personal chart. Libra/Autumn Deal I will tell you about Libra's energy in your chart for $7. (What?? ONLY 7 dollars??)- yes, in honor of the 7th House, and because I lov LOV. I LOV marriages. and I LOV Business. So be sure to tell a friend and e-mail me if you have questions. Or, check out our Compensation page for the newly added feature. Lov n light fam, SB ...won't u jus come and chill wit the virgo... when this song came out, i was in lov wit luda and nas. i didn't realize they were the same sign, but they both are sextile to my sun and moon, as well as conjunct my Rising- so yes, I lov the Virgos. They are crisp and clean. They are detailed oriented and analytical. They are workers and perfectionists. I lov this season because it prepares us for the Libra- after we perfect our physical lives, we can prepare to partner with others for lov, pleasure, and money. it's been a while since my last post, but it's because i've been in Virgo mode. As I mentioned previously, I am a teacher, and this is prime planning time for us. Working on class syllabi, lesson plans, curriculum maps, schedules, etc... But I have learned (the hard way) that it is better to put in a lot of work in the front end (the beginning) so that the rest of the year is smooth sailing. Plus, a plan is a roadmap- Virgos are mutable, so they are able to adapt easily to changes. But this is because they plan out their objective/end goal is. If they cannot meet it utilizing their roadmap, they will probably have a couple on backup. So that's where I have been: planning, analyzing, and planning some moor. Of course, the TRU planners of the Zodiac are Scorpios b/c they think and contemplate deeply before putting pen to paper. We have less than 7 days left of Virgo. Make it count:: Get ready for Autumn. Get ready to build your home for hibernation. Start analyzing what it is you do and don't want and/or need in your life. And if you haven't by now, start changing up your eating patterns- even if you are a "vegan" or "vegetarian", there is something moor you can be doing. Get into those routines- working out, studying, home/house work, WHATEVER. Jus use this last week to get it tight so you can enjoy the social and loving, sweet autumnal breeze of Libra. She will waft in the scent like warm cinnamon and sweet clove. I lov Libra and Autumn too (can't u tell)- and actually, I think ppl are at their height during the season in which they were conceived. I was born in Cancer, so my mama n daddy conceived me in Libra (the sign of love, partnership, and marriage- hmmm, guess they could 'feel it in the air'). Moor in a week- I'll hav plenty to say, much like this talkative, social butterfly of a sign. Alright, I'm out- gotta finish lesson planning for the next two weeks, Lov, SB to prepare us for... and this... and our favorite, this... Happy Birthday Marva Collins- This is my favorite teacher. She is a strong Virgo- read her book, "Marva Collins Way". In my opinion, Virgos make great elementary school teachers. They are teaching discipline, routine, and structure. They also teach critical thinking and analytical skills. If I had to guess, I think she is a Leo rising- she has a strong authoritative presence. She dresses with flair- and she discusses how the teacher's presentation affects the student's learning. And her Moon is Aquarius- she stands on the principle that every child is able to learn with a good teacher at hand. Her mission is to educate humanity's children. Ms. Collins is a gem- and I am honored to write this blog about her. Marva Collins was born in Monroeville, Alabama (another reason I connect with this sistar; my father is from this small town). After attending teacher training school, she worked in the Chicago Public School system for over twenty years. Ms. Collins taught elementary school students with the premise that every child in her class could and would learn- even the "bad" children or those with learning disabilities. In her autobiography, she states that if a child is not learning, it is because the teacher has failed to do their job. It's true- I think teachers can be some of the laziest workers alive. They get off by 3:30pm and have paid summer and holiday breaks. Granted, the talk is that "it's so hard to teach these children in the urban settings" and administration does make it difficult by giving high demands with few resources. However, it takes creativity and innovation to overcome these teaching difficulties, because in the end, the CHILDREN HAVE TO LEARN. After twenty years, Ms. Collins decided to spread her wings and open a private school in her attic. She took her life's savings, along with her husbands, and invested in a world-class, top notch learning program for those the world would like to forget- the children of southside Chicago; children living in poverty. In everyday terms, our babies from the hood. This sistar took children that were "mentally retarded" and raised their learning level by over 300%. All of her students enrolled in private collegiate prep high schools, and/or Ivy League colleges. Check the link below for the 60 minutes special on her students, 16 years later. This sistar is someone I look to, because I too would like to start a school. She is my educational model. She proved these stupid Albions wrong- we ARE intelligent, we INVENTED intelligence, and we continue to evolve- in spiritual intellect. Lov n light, I believe the children are our future. How fitting! Today is the SoLaR ReTurN of one of the greatest of all times: ::Ms. Whitney Houston:: (Allah bliss to the dead). Although she has transitioned, let us still honor this sistar in lov n light, as she continues her journeys on the soul plane. No surprise to me, Ms. Whitney is a Leo. A Leo woman screams either DIVA or Queen in her everyday walk, talk, and dress. This woman is FLY. She is REGAL. She is DIGNIFIED. And she has NO PROBLEM being in the spotlight. Yeeeeeees honey, she lived her life as a tru Lioness... So where does all the drugs and murder (because YES, my siSTAR was assassinated)? I looked at the Queen's chart and it was a Dead give away. Her Rising Sign is Pisces, which means the energy of Hidden Enemies and Sorrow rule her chart. That is quite evident. However, her Moon and Jupiter are in the 1st House in Aries. These are benefic planets in the House of Ego. Not to mention, Aries intercepted is at Home. Yes, we Know Ms. Whitney had an Ego. But she was talented and had much reason to celebrate that Ego. And since Pisces also represents mysticism and spiritual purity (as well as music), Her Music, which is Her Energy placed us on a Higher Level- we felt at peace listening to Her Music. We entered the Heavens when she sang. Perhaps Ms.Whitney herself was an angEL (hmmm...The Preacher's Wife? Role Reversal to throw us off?). Either way, she had the voice of an Angel::and that is why we all lov her.
So What Happened? She let the fame get to her. Her Mars is in the 7th House (House of Partnerships), so there is war and danger in that area. Like she let her Ego drive her decisions regarding her Lov and Business Partners. Uranus on the Cusp of the 7th House brings sudden, destructive energy to her through her partnerships. And where is Aquarius, the energy akin to Uranus? In the 12th House. House of Sorrow. Hidden Enemies. Drugs. Alcohol. But also Spiritual and Etheric Existence and Perfection. Just depends on which way you decide to go. Neptune in the 8th House. In Scorpio (which also is death and deep seated jealous and vindictive energy). House of Death. So Sorrow, Drugs, and Hidden Enemies linked to her lov and business partner lead her to her own death?? It was IN THE STARS for her to MEET BOBBY BROWN AND BECOME A DRUG ADDICT. And that is what killed her! But Ms. Whitney was/is a fighter. She was/is very passionate. You can hear it in her singing. Like she is giving you all her Heart. And Ms. Whitney ALSO had a mission(N.Node) - she told us straight up in "The Greatest Love of All". She knew the children (Leo) were the future (Uranus). They are the ones to bring an end to the madness that we are now experiencing. A Sudden Change- Destroying the Status Quo. Remember, Scorpio is also transformation. Ms.Whitney told us: the children will regenerate this world, and prepare us ALL for a better future. Ms.Whitney came here to show us the stark contradiction of this life: one can be VIBRANT, with a BEAUTIFUL MIND, BODY, and SOUL. But living HERE on EARTH, we are distracted and susceptible to LOW VIBRATIONS of FEAR and SORROW, which brings JEALOUSY, HATE, DRUGS, and ENEMIES. I am a teacher by trade. It's in my chart- that's a whole 'nother discussion. However, I know it is my mission to teach these children. We are manifesting NEW Beings. BeyonD the CrYsTaL children. I have No Name for them yet. But they are comin' here with EYES WIDE OPENED. They know the deal. And we keep tryna HOLD THEM DOWN and TAKE AWAY the GOD in THEM. It's sick. We need to heed the words of Ms. Whitney, who served as a member of Allah's AngeLic tribe- she was/is an example of what we can BE and what we must OVERCOME...in the most crude way. I believe the children are the future...teach them well and let them lead the way. Lov n light Ms. Whitney Houston. Respect, and I WILL uphold this creed- u did not come here in vain. Selah Bey Key Info about Ascendants Your rising sign is determined by the time you were born. It represents how you present yourSelf. If there is a square between your AC and your Moon Sign, you have a difficult time presenting yourSelf. If there is a square between you AC and your Sun Sign, you have a difficult time presenting yourSelf in relation to your general character. If your parents were in harmony during your conception, your Sun, Moon, and AC will aspect each other well... Salaam family, Today, we are talking about the Rising Sign. Why? Because it is Tuesday, which is ruled by Mars. The Rising Sign or the AC (ascendant) is the first house of the astrology wheel. The first house is home of the first sign, Aries. Thus, our AC is strong on this day. The first house is all about Self- just like that Aries you know. It's about personality, looks, and ego. Not the Leo ego, where you are the leader, and thus, always conscious of what you do/say. It's that Aries ego, which is all about the raw, instinctual Self. It is actually the ID of Freud's Structural Model of the Psyche. The first house is like Aries- it represents assertion, defense, physical appearance, and movement. It also represents how you present yourSelf. It is also used to determine your popularity (in conjunction with the 10th house). Example- **Beyonce Knowles is a Leo rising. She may seem shy, but truthfully, the song "Ego" is really about her. LOL. She presents her Self as a person that is an authority and demands recognition. Interestingly, her Mars sits on the AC line (the line between 12 and 1) on the 1st House side. Her popularity comes from physical expression- that is her dancing. She is well known for her movements (although ppl know she can sing; she draws ppl in with her dance). Her movements are bold and often exaggerated. Knowing your AC also gives you insight into the rest of your chart b/c it sets the tone for every other aspect of your life. If Leo is in your first house, then Virgo is in your 2nd, Libra in your 3rd, etc... After you discover your AC, look at your 12th House- this will tell you your secret enemies and those things about your Self that you don't notice, but others can see clearly.
