Weyes Blood

Her chart puts three planets in earth signs, three in air, and two apiece in fire and water, with nothing scarce. The record names Weyes Blood as the working name and Natalie Mering as the person, which is a distinction the chart cannot see and the trade depends on.

The Sun, Mercury and Venus sit inside two degrees of Gemini, which is one of the tightest groups of three planets in this set, with Mercury conjunct Venus at a sixth of a degree. Identity, speech and taste effectively occupying one point in the sign that holds two accounts of everything is a remarkable concentration. The Moon answers from Taurus, which is the one placement here that simply holds still. For a songwriter, the self, the words and the taste occupying one point is either the whole gift or the whole difficulty.

Six of her ten planets were retrograde at her birth, Mercury and Venus among them, which turns both speech and taste inward even while they sit on top of the Sun. Saturn and Uranus sit conjunct at half a degree, both of them on the final degree of Sagittarius, two slow planets meeting at a boundary. Mars makes an easy skill of its contact with Saturn at four fifths. In a musician, speech and taste both turned inward is the structure of somebody who finishes a record before anybody hears it.

Jupiter came the whole way round to its Taurus starting point on 21 April 2024, at thirty five. Taurus asks what of a thing has weight, and two circuits precede it. For a songwriter working under a name that is not her own, what has weight is a question with two possible subjects. Three planets inside two degrees, six of them facing backwards, is the structure to keep: an unusually concentrated chart that spends most of its time revising privately. Her Moon in Taurus sits a degree and a half from Jupiter, which gives the one still placement in the chart some scale to work with. For a songwriter, a Sun, Mercury and Venus effectively in the same place means the self, the words and the taste are not separable, which is either the whole gift or the whole problem.
