Diane Guerrero: Cancer Sun, Aquarius Moon, Scorpio Rising Jan 07, 2025

Show notes

Diane Guerrero rose to fame in her role as Maritza Ramos in the Netflix series Orange Is the New Black. As her platform grew, she sought ways to make an impact for kids like her – with undocumented parents at the whims of the immigration system. With time, Diane realized that telling her story over and over again was retraumatizing rather than healing. After the death of her father, Diane turned inward to focus on transformation. Along the way, she has discovered how much she just wants to be a weirdo – a true Aquarius moon.

Jill Louise Busby: Sagittarius Sun, Capricorn Moon, Scorpio Rising Dec 17, 2024

Show notes

Jill Louise Busby is affectionately known by her social media handle jillisblack. In 2016 she went viral for critiquing what passed as progressive. But the longer she operated under the social media handle, the more it became a character – cutting her off from her true self. In 2021 she published her book “Unfollow Me: Essays on Complicity.” Today, she is the Artistic Director at Northwest Film Forum and is at work on a one-woman-show and her next book. Jill’s third house Capricorn moon has her constantly seeking to implode hierarchies while her Sagittarius sun creates an urgency in sharing her truth – one that we all benefit from.

Shannon Shaw: Gemini Sun, Libra Moon, Capricorn Rising Dec 03, 2024

Earlier this year Shannon and her band released their latest album: The Moon is in the Wrong Place. Tasked with the uniquely difficult need to express and explore the various stages of grief after the shocking death of her fiancé, The Moon is in the Wrong Place is a vulnerable and honest journey filtered through the band’s signature garage-soul sound. Isa Nakazawa discusses how Shannon’s Capricorn rising serves as the catalyst to explore her artistic expression despite being told music wasn’t for her. While her Gemini Sun knows how to move fluidly between ecstasy, despair, grief and eternal love.
