Virgo stellium
Venus is combust. Does your ego sometimes get in the way of relationships?
As a virgo venus, you really need your romantic partners to put their money where their mouth is and do the things they said or implied they would.
It's hard for you to take people seriously if they don't take care of the little things for you.
Virgo venus is a super giving placement. Some people may think you have impossibly high standards. But if course u do. It's because you are someone who goes the extra mile. Like almost every single time when you truly love a person.
Sun in virgo : you're all those brilliant virgo things everyone says they are : probably messy but still have your lists, know how to put a good outfit together. You could have some serious bouts of insecurity about yourself, or the way you speak. Like people are whispering about you. There could be a tendency to second guess yourself. This usually manifests as high quality work.
However you have to remember that not every single person is gonna take a microscope to examine every little move you make, or word you utter. It's okay to chill out once In a while.
Mercury trine Lilith : watch your tongue when you're mad at someone. For real.
You could be the type to send 350 word long tetxs pointing out all the things you did wrong.
Your rants are like a thesis. They're grammatically worfect, artists cukate and extremely well thought out. You're really clear headed and have immaculate speech when you're telling someone to go fuck themselves basically.
Lilith in Virgo could have a bit of a sub kink.
Dirty talk could be one of your major turn ons. That 5th house mercury really knows how to have fun and get uts point across.
The sun too does well in the 5th house. I feel like if you were a teacher you'd do well with the kids. Liek you could make a math like subject interesting for the kids or really simplify jt because of how well you explain things.
The 5th house is also children and the sun here in Virgo could show a career in pediatrics or as an obstetrician because.
Leo Moon
You take pride in the work you do, Or the family you build around you.
You're lavish in your living settings or really want to be.
You're responsible. Like a king would be over their kingdom.
Your mom could be the authority figure at home/ have a govt job / be a tutor.
She was warm, friendly and knew how to have a Good time
Was your home considered the place where people went to for parties or to just have a good time?
Your mom could have a big influence on your dating life or romance.
You really feel your feelings. Could get really angry when people disrespect how you feel. You're not here for it. And with mercury in virgo trining Lilith you probabl let them have it if they hurt your sense of pride.
unless you overthink it. The sun can tend to overshadow the expression of other Planets sometimes
As a Taurus rising creativity, relationships and sports / board games could be a really big part of how you have fun kr take care of your inner child.
You may have a really sensuous, earthy sense of style. Taurus risings usually get compliments for how they dress. I'm thinking yours is on the dressy side of denim perhaps? Or dressy work wear.
MC
Ooh, crazy, innovative, erratic genius.
People are either energized by you (Uranus / Aquarius dominants) or feel like you need to dial it down and just fit in.
You're not about that life. You're here to be beautiful, resplendent, creative, and refined.
Neptune on the 10 th could show someone who is known for their creativity . Or that people project their fantasies on you.
You find beauty in innovation. You want to see the world in all its glory. There coudk be a tendency to get lost in a sense of what if xyz happened. You could literally dream up a whole new order of making things work in a very public setting.
Uranus in Pisces : could redefine some kind of spiritual practice. Maybe like virtualize ceremonies that would/ could earlier only happen in person.
(for example virtual weddings during the pandemic?)
I would definitely suggest keeping the drinking / smoking to a minimum as there could be a heavy tendency for people to perceive you as someone with addictions and there are not very many jobs where that's looked upon favorably..
Do I think this could be a good placement who works as a DJ or runs an alcohol brand / bar? Definitely.

Ryan Caraveo Explores Mind Control with Hip Hop Melodies In ‘Butterfly Boy’ [Q&A]
The Los Angeles based Ryan Caraveo may have made his musical debut back in 2014, but the innovative hip hop artist continues to turn heads today with his fantastic new album, Butterfly Boy. As a child with no professional experience in music, Caraveo would always rap battle his brother, which triggered his interest in melodies and lyricism. Caraveo’s newest effort, Butterfly Boy, is already songwriting gold, but Caraveo’s perfectly curated instrumentals is what makes it a masterpiece.
Featuring emotional tracks like “Battery” and “Deceived,” Butterfly Boy truly showcases Caraveo’s ability to be vulnerable through intimate storytelling. With appropriate interludes dispersed throughout, Butterfly Boy very much shares the narrative of Caraveo’s inner workings as his brain bounces from one mindset to another. Whereas some tracks on the record are more elusive, Caraveo makes other song messages more straightforward like in “Bill$” and “My Head Gets Loud.”
Treat yourself to Ryan Caraveo’s musical stylings with Butterfly Boy below:
To celebrate his new music, we chatted with Ryan Caraveo about his proudest moments as a musician, his recent tour with fellow Ones To Watch Dennis Lloyd, and of course, Butterfly Boy.
OTW: How did you first get into music?
Caraveo: I first got into music rap battling my brother in our attic of where we lived. We would write down raps against each other and then record them in Sound Recorder. This was like Windows 98. My little brother, who was probably like five or six years old… We would play it back and he would judge them. Did that for like, a year or two. And that’s how I learned to start rapping… Insulting my brother.
OTW: I love that. So organic. Who are your biggest musical influences?
Caraveo: Musically, I would definitely say when I was really young, Kid Cudi, Eminem, and Linkin Park are probably the biggest ones. I’d say those are the three biggest. Eminem for the words. Kid Cudi for the melodies. Linkin Park for the angst.
OTW: So it’s been quite some time since you released Swings in 2014. How do you think you’ve grown as a musician since then?
Caraveo: Uhhh… I don’t write 40 bar verses in my songs anymore. I don’t care about earning respect from anybody anymore. I’m just trying to make good songs that I want to listen to forever. And none of those three things were true when I made Swings.
OTW: I respect that. What’s been your proudest moment as a musician so far?
Caraveo: Oooh… That’s tough.
OTW: I’m sure you have a lot.
Caraveo: Proudest moment as a musician? I’d say in life, and music, I’ve always worked best by myself. I’d prefer to not work with other people. And now, I’m better than ever working with people. Working with my producer… It’s huge for me. All the stats and stuff are cool. When you hit streaming milestones and get cool awards, those are cool for like, four days. I wouldn’t say any of those are my proudest moments. Even being able to go on a big tour for the first time is cool for like, a week. So… I don’t know. Everything I’m proud of, I’m not proud of in a way. So I’m just going to go with being able to work better with people.
OTW: Good answer. Your new album’s coming out soon. Butterfly Boy. Can you describe your creative process for this record?
Caraveo: My creative process…
OTW: Well, first of all… What inspired the album? Or is every single track different?
Caraveo: There’s definitely a theme. Mind control inspired the album, and I’ll leave it at that. As far as the creative process, I would say writing more songs than I know what to do with. Just writing every day. Writing hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of songs. And then spending time away from them. Just being constant. I think that when you make shit, anything, you have to make a ton of it. Whether engineering or painting or songwriting, you just have to make a thousand things and then the people around you will tell you which ones are the good ones. And that’s kind of the process… Make a ton of shit. Hopefully it doesn’t all suck at the end. That’s the process.
OTW: So far you’ve released a few singles this year. Are they going to be on the new album?
Caraveo: Yes, every single song I released is on Butterfly Boy.
OTW: Do you have a favorite track on the record?
Caraveo: “Battery.”
OTW: “Battery.” Tell me more.
Caraveo: “Battery” is my favorite song and other song called “My Head Gets Loud.” “Battery” is just my favorite. I could listen to it on loop. It reminds me of something that would play in Macy’s. Imagine if you went in there to buy sheets and they have songs playing in there from like, the 90s and you’re like, “How is this still popular?” It’s just iconic forever. “Battery” reminds me of that. It’s just the same guitar lick on loop, but it reminds me of one of those songs. In 20 years when I’m buying sheets, “Battery” is going to be on in Macy’s. Watch.
OTW: Bet. Which song was the most difficult to write and why? In terms of lyricism.
Caraveo: The most difficult song to write is probably the last track on the album. It’s called “All My Life.” I wrote the hook first. I rewrote it like, three or four times and it just felt really special. Then I wrote the first verse. Then six months later, I wrote the second verse.
OTW: Six months later…
Caraveo: Yeah… I would just sit with each piece of a song for like, a really long time. Just because it’s probably the most personal, vulnerable, and honest song on the album. I mentioned my little brother by name and it’s not just lyrics. There just couldn’t be any fluff in that. Couldn’t be any word play. Just had to be as real as I would say it to like, my mom or my little brother. So that one took the longest because it just had to be perfect and the most authentic. It couldn’t just be a bop, you know?
OTW: And it is.
Caraveo: Yeah. Absolutely.
OTW: How does it feel to know how successful “Paradise” has become?
Caraveo: It’s really crazy. I forget about it sometimes, like any artist who focused on growing and being bigger than you are. It really is insane how big that song has become. To me, it’s kind of just a song I made a long time ago. And I’m trying to make songs right now that do just as good and that’s what I’m focused on. It is really crazy that it hasn’t slowed down since it came out. It’s still only growing. More importantly, it’s not just a song people like to dance to. Little kids and grown ass people who have been through life… It affects them the same. That’s the best feeling. It speaks to everybody. I feel like I actually contributed something of value to the world, which is tight. Obviously, I want to make records that people like having fun to and turning up to sometimes, but I feel like it’s really special for that to be the song that did really well. Hopefully I can make another one of those.
OTW: That’s the goal.
Caraveo: Yeah.
OTW: What was it like being on tour with fellow Ones To Watch Dennis Lloyd? Actually, I was at the El Rey show.
Caraveo: Yeah, that was interesting. It was definitely not the type of crowd that I’m normally in front of. The demographic was certainly different, but it was a cool experience because I have never, since I’ve been making music, really stepped out into other demographics. I’ve never done a showcase where it’s different types of artists performing. There were a lot of people who only listened to Dennis Lloyd who were certainly confused.
OTW: Yeah, it was an older crowd too.
Caraveo: Yeah, it was an older crowd.
youtube
OTW: Some people were enjoying it though.
Caraveo: Anybody under 24 was enjoying it. They came up to me and said, “What’s up,” to me after the show. Other people were angry. I have a song called “Bill$” on the album. The hook says, “Fuck having the bills paid / I just want to feel okay.” This lady tweeted at me like, “News flash, buddy. You’re going to have bills to pay.”
OTW: Oh my gosh.
Caraveo: Yeah. She tweeted it, but a lot of people shared the same feeling she had. But it was cool. Dennis was tight.
OTW: Did you know him before?
Caraveo: No, I didn’t. But as soon as we showed up to the first show in Canada, he came to say, “What’s up,” and he was cool. I had fun. It was certainly a new experience.
OTW: Who are your Ones To Watch?
Caraveo: That’s a good question. My homie Travis Thompson’s killing it right now. He has an album coming out. He’s from Seattle too. He just signed to Epic last year. He’s finishing up his project with them. Shout out to him. Dempsey. He’s a singer-songwriter. He’s really dope. And Vrillah. They’re both really dope from Seattle and you should check them out.
OTW: Is there anything else you want to throw in here about the album? Anything specific you want to say to your followers or our readers?
Caraveo: If you don’t want ten years of bad luck, then go to Spotify. Turn on Butterfly Boy, the album, and leave it on mute while you go to sleep. And just let it run on repeat. Every single night for the next month. Or you’ll have ten years of bad luck.

Empara Mi Interview
Empara Mi
Photo by Eva Pentel
Give Empara Mi an opportunity and she'll excel. Truly an enigmatic virtual prodigy, Empara Mi’s versatile and striking realm of creativity is remarkably innovative and laced with musical eccentricities. Continuously transforming genre with appealing advancement, Empara Mi’s latest single ‘Alibi’ embodies a bold and striking sonic statement – with moments of sheer intensity and vocal authority. Devoted to constant studio time, honing her craft and refining her sound, Empara Mi’s ambitious outlook, unique exuberance and steely resolve will surely hold in her in good stead for future undertakings and further plaudits… The Seventh Hex talks to Empara Mi about self-doubt, horror movies and lying outside at night…
TSH: Being a very visual driven artist, does this aspect aid you in particular when new music is being formulated?
Empara Mi: You know, I just go with the flow. If I have an intention to sit down and write a song, then that’s what I’ll do. I don’t think that you have to necessarily be driven or mega-focused to write new music. But yeah, like you said, I do think visually a lot, which is why a lot of the time when I sit down and write, I think of the video first. I normally have this feeling of what I want to create, then the words will follow and the whole thing starts to make sense. I generally have a solid idea of what I want with visuals too. It just becomes a case of merging my ideas with others and hoping for a positive outcome.
TSH: Self-doubt is a factor that often comes into play with your chosen subject matter...
Empara Mi: Yeah, that’s true. You know, this direction wasn’t subconscious until I got asked to explain what my songs mean. However, it lead me to figuring out that there is quite a prominent theme in my music of me feeling self-doubt and like I need to break out of something. I guess it comes from being young and growing up somewhere else, as well as leaving home at an early age. I left home when I was 15 and went out by myself to try and discover what was going on. Overall, my songs do consist of wanting to discover another world, all the while having the ability to overcome the doubters who say you cannot achieve your aims.
TSH: Do your surroundings seep into your musical endeavours?
Empara Mi: It’s weird because my surroundings are changing all of the time. Growing up in Guernsey, we didn’t have a music scene or a culture there, so I listened to whatever I wanted. It was a case of just kind of merging genres of music and making whatever you wanted. I’m constantly moving and I’ve never settled. I’ve never had a home here in England; I just move around from spot to spot and end up in various areas of London. Also, I don’t know why, but I have this Americana dreamlike thing that I love to put into everything, even though I’ve never lived in America, ha!
TSH: Is your vocal direction freeform or do you have intentions in mind?
Empara Mi: It’s all very much in the moment. I write 90% of my material in my bedroom and I have my mics set up around me. I just record whatever I’m thinking and feeling. There’s not much thought going into it, and a lot of the time, I end up with the original demo vocals. There’s always something about the first take that is so raw and real, so I don’t like to change this element, even though the quality can be a little iffy. You can’t really replicate the feeling you have when you’re originally doing something, besides I can’t act or mimic a feeling, therefore I stick with the first take most often.
TSH: Do you recall how you settled on the visual aesthetics and origins of ‘Alibi?
Empara Mi: Well, everyone was like how the fuck did you come up with that video?! It doesn’t necessary make sense during one’s first watch. And this is because the lyrics are quite odd alongside the bondage stuff - it doesn’t really connect. Also, some people have got the idea of the song distorted. Some people think ‘Alibi’ is about a past lover and getting revenge, but it’s actually about a battle with yourself. The song is in relation to the voices in the back of your head telling you that you’re not good enough and in turn overcoming these types of feelings.
TSH: What was the trickiest part in forming ’Alibi’?
Empara Mi: It was a very difficult song to finish. The song slows down to 20BPM by the chorus, which was absolute hell to achieve. I wrote the song on guitar and had this vision of the song sounding really grand and Tarantino-esque. I basically sent the framework for the song to Kanye West’s producer Andrew Dawson. It turned out, he really liked it, so I flew out to the States and we both ended up spending a lot of time on it to get to just right. I had like 20 different versions of that song!
TSH: What does a track like ‘Spoon’ convey to you?
Empara Mi: It’s one of my favourite tracks that I’ve done to this day. It’s weird because I’m not really singing on it; instead I’m doing this odd rap thing. That track was all about capturing a moment in time, it also touches on life and death, but I don’t think anyone picked up in that. For me, it brings to mind how one would live their life if they knew it was going to end.
TSH: How rewarding is it for you to know that each day revolves around you being creative and doing something that you’re passionate about?
Empara Mi: It’s amazing and I really do love it. Although, I have to say that I’ve had to learn how to appreciate this line of work, which wasn’t the case in the very beginning. Early on, I had so many hopes for how I wanted things to happen, but now I’ve taken a more laidback approach. I do what I want, and if it works, it works. You know, when I first started making music, I just wanted to be so perfect, haha! Maybe I was slightly naive, since I thought a lot about how I’d be received. However, the moment you stop thinking this way, that’s when everything becomes a lot more satisfying, a lot clearer and more enjoyable. Nowadays, I spend so much time in the studio and I don’t leave until late. I simply love challenging myself to feel satisfied with my work...
TSH: The ultimate satisfaction is to eventually have your music in a Tarantino movie...
Empara Mi: Haha! Pretty much! That’s would be an incredible achievement.
TSH: Has your father’s fondness for Eminem and hip-hop died down over the years?
Empara Mi: No, he still does love Eminem very much! My dad just loves hip-hop in general. Each time I get in the car with him, we have a row over which CD to play, haha!
TSH: Is it true that you won’t sleep until you’ve seen a horror movie?
Empara Mi: Oh, yes! I love my horror movies! I saw The Exorcist again last night. Also, I went to see IT the other day, and I didn’t find it scary at all! I thought it was more of a comedy actually. But yeah, each day I have to watch a horror movie, which reminds me, I watched the entire Scream franchise again last week too. I guess I just love scaring the shit out of myself, haha!
TSH: Your love for dogs is also very apparent on your social media?
Empara Mi: Ha! I just love dogs. Maybe I’m being soppy, but they are just so loving and loyal. I think I’m one of those crazy dog persons! My Instagram and all of my feeds are flooded with dog selfies. I tend to bring the dog to the studio often too.
TSH: Does constantly being immersed in music help you to achieve a positive headspace?
Empara Mi: Yes, music helps me to feel positivity more than most things. Having said that, I do have this obsession of lying outside at night by myself and looking at the sky. It’s a weird thing that I do, but it really makes me feel smaller than I am and puts everything into perspective. Whenever I get stressed about something, I just remember how small I am and that nothing really matters. I guess this type of attitude helps to keep me in check and makes me feel content too.
TSH: What sort of opportunities are you relishing as you look ahead to next year?
Empara Mi: I feel like I’m building towards something very hopeful. I’m currently sitting on over 60 songs. My next step is going to be quite the leap: I’m no longer going to release little things each time. I mean I love my interludes, but they are not what people can really latch on to. The interludes are just snippets of a wider context of material. I want to put out a proper visual album next year. I have many singles completed and visuals/short films in mind to accompany them. I’m just really excited to share more material. And in the meantime, I’ll continue to explore further concepts that I have in mind.
