Life Path Number 9: Mars, Jupiter, expansion, connection to the masses/foreign cultures, humanity, teacher & student Birth Number 7: mystery, intuition, healing, and wisdom. I discovered in an article, her stage name "Hemlocke" came from a name generator and she added the "e" at the end to pay homage to Lorde. Hemlock is a plant and tree used for medicinal purposes. Scorpio Sun & Venus: Her music is centered around processing her intense emotions dealing with awkward phases, growth, love & heartbreak, depression, and lack of control. She places those feelings on upbeat, quirky, synth-pop melodies, adding depth from a playful and humorous space in her music. Jupiter in Pisces: Connecting to music is also a spiritual & emotional release for her. The lyrics of her song "pos" verse, "I was made for the war, fix eternal scars, But here I am rockin' with my flimsy camisole". I associated these lyrics with her plutonian/martian nature.

Her pregnancy & partnership with her bandmate, Lucas Goodman were a secret to the public until she announced it a month after giving birth to her son. Generational gifts passed from maternal lineage. Motherhood brought her closer to her mother. Jillian's Mars is 1° Leo and AS 29°: Critical degree. Her vitality is dedicated to the creation of music and family. Her voice is unique, like a lioness's roar. Known for her signature golden mane and melodic voice.

Birth Number 9: connection to humanity, global reach, spiritual, social issues, education. Jupiter, Mars. She uses her platform to bring awareness to social issues that include the injustice and exploitation within the Black community. Life Path Number 2: Voice, collaboration, harmony, justice, Moon Mars in Libra in 11°, Sun & Mercury in Virgo: Witty storytelling with blunt lyrics. Her music reminds me of spoken word. I feel like Fatimah's lyrics are love letters to the community.
