dispatches from the production of my first film

Jupiter in Aries has me in a chokehold

I don’t know about y’all but the time between May and where we are now, approaching the end of June has felt like a six-month period. They say a lot can happen in a year but lately, it’s been feeling like my life has been drastically changing day by day.

Astrologically, this makes sense since Aries entered Jupiter (planet of abundance, fortune, and success) on May 10th— what this means is that whatever house Aries is in your chart will be super activated. I’m a 10th house Aries Sun/Mercury. The 10th house governs public image, career achievements, and personal aspirations so A LOT has been happening for me in this period. Here’s a recap of what’s been going on in my life since May 10th

5/10 - I met the principal cast of my short film for the first time IRL for a prop photoshoot. We went to Nuyorican Café to take a “throwback” photo of them performing at an “open mic night”. They instantly had amazing chemistry, and they all happened to be Guyanese (my bf Sanj who was my DP, and my friend Kya who was my AD are also Guyanese — clearly Guyanese people have me in a chokehold). I mean, look at them, you’d never be able to tell from this photo that they all just met each other that day.
