When I put my soul on a pole,
I'm honoring my inner Venus.
- Soul on the pole.
You heard it here.
That is Venus and Pisces.
(upbeat music)
Hello and welcome.
I'm Chani Nicholas
and this is a very special addition of Star Power.
It is our first couple's episode and I have the privilege
of being seated with wives
Niecy Nash Betts who is an actor, Emmy winner,
director and author.
And JB, singer and musician.
Hi, y'all welcome.
Thank you so much for joining me.
- Thank you for having us - Thank you for having us,
however--
- Yes, let's get into it.
- I'm gonna get right to it and tell you, I am so nervous.
Everybody was saying that we didn't match
because we are Pisces and Gemini,
but I don't know we, but we match at home.
- Water, air. So let's see.
- Ahhh! I'm nervous! (laughing)
- First off, you match
and that's the key to any relationship.
The astrology comes second, right?
It's the two of you have found each other
and you match heart to heart, soul to soul,
person to person and that's what we go off of.
- Okay.
- [Chani] The cool thing about the fact that
you have Sun and Venus and Gemini.
And, you have Sun and Venus and Pisces,
which is very special.
We'll get into it in a second.
- Ooh.
But because you both have Sun and Venus
in what we call mutable signs,
you both have the ability to
move in a lot of different directions.
The difference about them is the air and the water stuff.
So you bring that soulful, nourishing,
emotional kind of vibe and your art is very much about
the verbal expression of it.
And, your art is very much about pleasure and sensuality.
- You better say that again.
(laughing)
You know it's true.
- Those are the facts.
- JB's Jupiter
is on your career point
and Jupiter is the planet of magnification
and opportunity and abundance and good luck.
And so you bring her some kind of optimism
and some kind of like inner abundance
and it shines through into what she does on the world stage.
- Do you know what we say all the time?
- What?
- We say that we're better together.
- [Chani] Yeah.
- I mean, I do my thing, you do your thing,
but we always say somehow together we feel--
- Amplified.
- I was just about to say amplified. Yes!
- Yeah, yeah.
- The other really interesting thing between your charts
is you have, you basically have a chart that says
you are a goddess of love and pleasure
and you have come here to help everybody else
understand that about themselves.
- I feel so seen in the moment.
You know she know right where I live. Huh?
- Goddess of love, huh?
- Come on Somebody.
- And pleasure.
- [Chani] You also have this asteroid named Bacchus,
which is basically Dionysus,
which is the God of wine and partying.
- Don't look over here, don't look over here.
Do not look over here.
(laughing)
- This all makes sense.
- No, it doesn't and relax
the woman's just getting warmed up. Just wait a minute.
I'm never gonna live this down
because you going to keep reminding me,
you remember what she said about--
- That's right. That's right.
- I know you, I know you.
- You know, all goddesses need to be worshiped.
- Yes. Yes. Yes.
- They need to be brought offerings.
- Absolutely. It makes the most sense.
- And when I'm brought offerings, you can forget about it
and you know it's true.
Listen, when I get them offerings
them clothes start going bing bing bing bing.
Because it does something to me on the inside.
And I just wanna be so close to you.
- That makes so much sense. It all makes sense.
- [Chani] You also have Jupiter on the ascendant.
Jupiter was rising when you were born.
And so that planet of abundance and prosperity
is the mark of you.
You have Mars also in a really good sign,
in the sixth house of work.
So what it means is: you can work circles
around anyone and everyone,
you know, you will start the next thing before
people have even understood what it is
you already came in with.
So there's just like an energy there
that really wants to be worked with.
- There are so many different spaces and places that require
that energy and that attention.
One of the things I appreciate the most about my spouse
is that, well, she'll just look at me and say,
"now we got a lot going on.
We need to thin some of this out.
I'm gonna meet you in the movie room
and let you lay down on me and we gonna talk about it."
And then I'm like, "okay," you know what I mean?
And so it's my,
my spouse is my soft place to land. You know what I mean?
And always ready to receive me
and always ready to invite me to think differently,
and to--
- Lighten the load a bit. - Yeah.
- That's what Geminis are for
- Exactly. Well, Valentine's day this year.
It is actually the date that she became my girlfriend.
- Oh, oh.
- Yeah.
- Hey!
I'm still your girlfriend.
I'm your wife too, but I'm still your girlfriend.
- Yeah, yeah.
- You know, I haven't decided exactly what I'm gonna do
for JB for Valentine's day.
You can, there's nothing wrong with
waiting until the last minute,
but if you give yourself a little bit more time
to get it together, then you can give the person
that you are spending Valentine's day with
something that feels custom as opposed to off the rack.
- Yeah. Spruce it up a little bit, get it more creative.
You know, let your lady know that you're thinking about her
in a way that, like you say, is more built in.
A custom, a customized experience.
You know, a scavenger hunt, you know, maybe a love letter.
(in unison) - Ooh!
- Honey! You know.
Just do something. Don't let the day go by
and do nothing for the people you love.
- That's right.
So the interesting thing about Saturn:
Saturn is on your marriage point.
And then your Saturn is right next to her Venus.
Is that Saturn is the daddy of the cosmos.
(laughing)
You're gonna need someone that brings that energy.
It allows Venus to do its thing and to relax
and like to unfold.
- Oh Lord.
Now I'm gonna have to start calling my lovely Gemini daddy?
- Zaddy
- Zaddy. Saturn is a zaddy.
- And It's so funny. You know what I'm doing now?
Which is such an expression for me
that I haven't done before? Pole dancing.
And it all makes sense. - Yes!
- What you're telling me? Stop it.
It's because I'm doing a-- - [Chani] It's so good.
- Okay, no.
- [Chani] It's so good for you.
- Knock it off.
And I need you to join my reindeer games.
(laughing)
Every time I come back home with my shoes over my neck
this one is like, "what are you doing?"
I'm like, "I'm preparing for my big show."
She's like, "you not doing a show."
- [Chani] Say, "I am honoring Venus."
- I'm honoring Venus, my love.
- That's it. Venus is goddess of dance.
- With some six-inch stilettos.
- When I put my soul on a pole,
I'm honoring my inner Venus!
- Soul on the pole. You heard it here.
That is Venus and Pisces.
The thing about Pisces is it's so hydrating.
It's so relaxing and it's so replenishing.
So your sun and Venus and Pisces
is here to help people fill up.
- It is funny because you said that about water
because I remember praying very early on to
love JB in such a way
that it would fill up all the cracks.
That that love would permeate
and seep into those broken places.
- I always say that about Pisces.
It's like, when you pour a glass of water on the floor
it just goes everywhere and it falls into everything.
And so it needs that spaciousness and it needs the variety.
- I feel like a light bulb just went off on my head.
And then I'm gonna tell you why,
because I used to say this all the time.
I used to say,
I don't like being in these single streets
Because this is a lot, you know?
And when you, and when you dole it out
- [Chani] It's too much.
- People be standing in front of your house.
You know what I mean?
Like you giving away stuff, that's free.
I'm better married.
I'm better grounded in these streets.
It's just, there's a reciprocity in it that works for me.
And with all of the pouring out and the giving,
you know what I mean?
And...
Man, I love you.
I'm so, so happy we found each other
and I love her so much, I remember asking her, I said,
"we don't even know for sure what's on the other side,
but find me.
Even in another life, find me."
You better find me.
- I will.
- Don't make me cry my eyelashes off.
No one ever tells you when you're growing up that
you will love many people.
- I've gotten my heart broken and ripped out my chest.
You know what I'm saying?
So many times. - I mean,
I have crawled across the Linoleum hollering.
Do you understand me?
And got up and dusted myself back up.
I re-- listen.
- You got to - Listen.
You will get your heart broken and guess what?
You will love again.
So the first person who breaks your heart,
sometimes you feel like, I'll never love anyone!
- It's the end of the world. Because it feels that way.
- It feels like it, but feelings are not facts
because the fact is baby, keep on living
and you gonna find love again.
And it's gonna find you.
That part.
And I'm not finding no more love after this.
- Oh, this is over. This is it.
(laughing)
