The Power of Music on My Journey

Music is an integral part of my process. It moves me, inspires me, and helps me make sense of the world around me. From navigating love and relationships to connecting with my spiritual self, music is a guiding force in my life. Creating this playlist for my BGT Erotic Starship was a natural extension of that process, weaving together the cosmic, sensual, and spiritual aspects of my journey through the power of sound. Each song holds a special place on my starship, reflecting the unique energy of my astrological placements and helping me navigate the depths of who I am.

When I first embarked on the Tantric Shaman Apprenticeship Program facilitated by Black Girl Tantra, I had no idea how much it would expand my understanding of myself and my connection to the cosmos. One of the most powerful concepts I encountered during this apprenticeship was the BGT Erotic Starship, a unique framework that uses astrological placements to guide us through our relationships, desires, and purpose. It was a revelation—finally, a way to align my inner and outer worlds, particularly in how I navigate love, passion, and spiritual connection.

The Origins of the BGT Erotic Starship

The term BGT Erotic Starship was coined within the Black Girl Tantra community, hence the acronym “BGT.” It was a way for us to understand how our individual astrology and energy impact our personal journeys. The Erotic Starship encompasses the planets that govern communication, passion, love, and spiritual purpose—essentially the parts of ourselves that drive our erotic and relational lives. Learning about this during my apprenticeship was eye-opening, and it immediately struck a deep chord within me.

Charting My Course

In my personal Erotic Starship, I have Mercury in Libra, the Sun in Virgo, Venus in Leo, Mars in Gemini, Eros in Scorpio, and Vesta in Pisces. Each placement represents an essential piece of my journey, and I’ve found that understanding these energies has transformed how I approach my relationships, passions, and even my career as Madame Turquoise.

Here’s how my starship breaks down and what I’ve learned about myself along the way:

Mercury in Libra – The Head of My Starship

Mercury is the planet of communication, and with it in Libra, I’ve learned that I approach conversations with a deep sense of fairness and balance. I thrive in environments where harmony is the goal, and I have an intuitive ability to see multiple sides of any situation. This translates into my relationships as well—I prefer partners who can communicate with grace and thoughtfulness, and I’ve learned to recognize when I’m leaning too much into people-pleasing at the expense of my own needs.

Sun in Virgo – The Fuel for My Starship

My Sun sign in Virgo gives me a meticulous, detail-oriented approach to life. I’ve learned that my energy is grounded in practicality and a constant desire for self-improvement. I take pride in perfecting the small details, especially in how I show up in the world. The Sun in Virgo fuels my Erotic Starship by ensuring that every move I make is aligned with my purpose and intention. I’ve learned to honor my analytical side, knowing that it’s the engine that keeps my passions moving forward.

Eros in Scorpio – My Passion and Desire

Eros in Scorpio is perhaps the most intense energy on my starship. It represents a deep, magnetic pull toward passion, transformation, and intimacy. I’ve learned that I am someone who craves depth in all aspects of life, particularly in my relationships. Superficial connections don’t fulfill me—I need passion that’s raw, intense, and transformative. Eros in Scorpio has taught me to embrace my powerful energy and use it to form bonds that are truly life-changing.

Venus in Leo – My Heart, My Love

With Venus in Leo, I crave passion, adoration, and grandeur in my romantic life. I’m someone who loves to be celebrated and admired, and I’ve come to embrace that fully. In love, I’ve learned not to settle for anything less than a partner who makes me feel like royalty. Venus in Leo gives me the courage to shine and be bold, both in relationships and in how I express myself creatively. I now see that my heart thrives when I’m surrounded by love that’s not only deep but also celebratory.

Mars in Gemini – The Action-Focused Wing of My Starship

With Mars in Gemini, I’m always on the move—mentally and physically. Mars governs action, and I’ve learned that I thrive on curiosity, change, and intellectual stimulation. My desires are driven by a need for adventure and new experiences, and I’m happiest when I’m exploring different avenues of connection and passion. Mars in Gemini has taught me to embrace my restless energy and use it to fuel my journey toward self-discovery and deeper intimacy.

Vesta in Pisces – The Sacred Body of My Starship

Vesta represents my sacred sensual energy, and with it in Pisces, I’ve learned to view my sensuality as a spiritual experience. I now understand that my connection to the erotic is deeply tied to my spirituality, and I experience love and desire as fluid, transcendent forces. Vesta in Pisces has taught me the importance of connecting with myself and others on a spiritual level, allowing my sensuality to be a bridge between the physical and the divine.
