This is your season-ahead reading for Gemini Season (May 21-June 21, 2023) from Renee Sills of Embodied Astrology. Listen/read for your Sun/Rising/Moon signs.

People often think of astrology as “I'm a Gemini” or “I'm a Taurus” but everyone has every sign in their chart.  In this episode, I'll share how each sign relates to wealth - one of the 4 Aims of Life - and how you can work with each sign to create wealth in your life. This episode will help you understand how to create success and wealth in your life for all 12 signs in your chart, depending on which ones are most dominant, or which ones are activated by transits.  I'll also share examples of Dhana Yogas (signs of wealth in a chart).

What is going ON on our planet? This question is only going to get bigger and more confusing as Neptune in Pisces reaches 27 degrees starting in May 2023 and begins an ongoing square to the Galactic Center at 27 degrees Sagittarius until January 2025. Neptune in Pisces is unraveling Sagittarian themes, and also dissolving density and attachments that are shifting and leaving. It may feel like there is more “up in the air” at both a collective and individual level, especially if you personally have planets or points at 27 degrees of the mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces). More to share in this podcast episode.   ~ New book now available in digital, print, and audiobook versions ~ “Awakening Astrology: Five Key Planetary Energies for Personal Transformation”-  https://www.amazon.com/Awakening-Astrology-Planetary-Energies-Transformation/dp/1950253236/   .

Timestamps [1:10] The Sun makes its annual conjunction with Uranus (May 9th, 12:56 PM PDT) at 18°56' Taurus, on the Sabian symbol 19 Taurus, A newly formed continent. Here's an opportunity to question who you are and who you can be. [3:42] This conjunction begins a year-long cycle between the Sun and Uranus.  Sensitive points in this cycle are around the middle part of the Sun's journey through the fixed signs Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius. [4:32] Three's Company, Astro Edition! On May 12th, Mercury the Messenger sextiles Saturn (1:42 AM PDT) and Venus (7:44 PM PDT). Then Venus trines Saturn at 06°11' Cancer and Pisces (11:57 PM PDT). [5:49] Consider Mercury's sextiles to Venus and Saturn as an opportunity to consider the financial dimensions of the Venus/Saturn trine. Review, reorganize, and practice financial restraint. [6:23] A little bit more on that Venus/Saturn trine May 12th, 11:57 PM PDT, 06°11' Cancer and Pisces). When the planet of relationship comes together with the planet of maturity and responsibility, we have an opportunity to commit ourselves in a deeper way to someone or something for the long haul. [7:43] Moon Report!  On May 12th (7:28 AM PDT), the Last Quarter Moon at 21°36' Aquarius features the Sun-Uranus conjunction in a square aspect with the Moon. This is the final push to the finish line from that intense New Moon Solar Eclipse on April 20, 2023. [8:38] Important dates in the current lunar cycle:  April 27th (First Quarter Moon) and May 5th (Full Moon Lunar Eclipse). [9:30] This is also the Last Quarter Moon in a Lunar Phase Family Cycle that began at the Feb. 11, 2021 New Moon in Aquarius. The First Quarter Moon in that cycle was November 11, 2021 and the Full Moon was August 11, 2022. [10:21] Void-of-Course Moon (VOC) periods.  On May 8th, the Moon in Sagittarius trines Jupiter in Aries (1:28 PM PDT) and is VOC for just about three hours before it enters Capricorn (4:33 PM PDT).  "Are you asking enough of your life? Is it time for a grander adventure?" [12:06] On May 10th, the Moon in Capricorn squares Jupiter in Aries (4:52 PM PDT), then is VOC for a little over two hours before it enters Aquarius (7:05 PM PDT). It's great to have a big plan and to have a big adventure in mind, but what do we actually need to do to make it happen? [12:41] The Moon in Aquarius sextiles Jupiter in Aries on May 12th (8:15 PM PDT). It will be VOC for about 1 ½ hours before entering Pisces (9:39 PM PDT). Pay attention to messages that come across your path.  They could help you figure out the bigger picture. [13:37] Hip! Hip! Hooray!!!! Mercury stations direct on May 14th (8:17 PM PDT). It turned retrograde on April 21st. Mercury will take some time to move forward until it reaches Gemini on June 11th. [13:50] Mark August 23 - September 15, 2023 on your calendar. This is Mercury's next retrograde period, in earthy Virgo. [14:40] Listener Angela asks about Tropical versus Sidereal zodiac systems. The answer is simple, but the mechanics take some explaining.

In this video, a follow-up to the Eclipse podcast, Louise looks at how this Eclipse is activating the Galactic center and what it might mean for the USA and the next Election. With gratitude to Ronnie Grishman who wrote this article. "This is a new time in the history of the world. Our telescopes and satellites are bringing us closer and closer to a vast, perhaps infinite, universe. Aligned with the axiom, "As above, so below," we here on Planet Earth are also rising to a new level in our expansion, shifting the way we view the universe and our place in it. We have been earth-centered for a long time. Now, we turn to the stars. Let's picture ourselves as we really are: eight billion people afloat on a planet in space that orbits a star and dwells inside a galaxy with billions of other planets and stars. Our Milky Way Galaxy is 13 to 15 billion years old with a gravitationally-bound collection of roughly 100 billion stars. The diameter is about 100,000 light years, with the central bulge measuring about 30,000 light years. Our solar system is positioned at the outer regions of this galaxy. Our Sun is one of the stars within it and located roughly 28,000 light years from the center of the Milky Way. Our Sun orbits this Center at a rate of 135 miles per second and takes about 250 million years to complete its orbit. Believed to lie at the exact center of our galaxy is a compact yet very bright source known as Sagittarius A. Some astronomers argue that this source contains a black hole, about the size of a large star, with a mass equivalent to several million suns. Colossal energies are found here. The enormous amount of material drawn into that black hole radiates at many frequencies; some say that emanations from this center cover over two degrees of longitude. This pulsating point in space is the Galactic Center. Sitting at app. 27° Sagittarius (it's interesting that astrologer William Lilly observed that the Moon is not really Void-of-Course in late Sagittarius), the Galactic Center is said to be the origin of most of the gravitational energy in our galaxy. The Galactic Center is considered a direct line to the divine creative will. In the esoteric Kabbalah, the Galactic Center is represented as the top sephiroth, the Crown, Keter. Think of an antenna system broadcasting a very high frequency beyond normal range, a portal to another dimension, like a cascading avalanche of energy and consciousness, pouring forth information from another-reality matrix. If your chart connects you to this degree, you might be able to manifest special spiritually-advanced talents in tune with the highest cosmic energies. Famous seers and scientists—among them Einstein, Cayce, Geller—have strong aspects to this point. The Archangel for this sephiroth is Metatron, "He Who Is Closest To God." Metatron stands as a bridge and ambassador between our solar system and the higher cosmic forces. It's interesting that those with personal planets in aspect to the Galactic Center feel that they are not of this world, that their origins are extraterrestrial and, like their guiding Archangel, are here as galactic emissaries."

Taylor Upsahl, who performs under the moniker UPSAHL, is an incredibly talented and driven young artist, who is not only super-innovative in her creative expression, but also does so while maintaining a fresh and disarming self-awareness. A resident of LA now for several years, Taylor has successfully and wonderfully created a compelling pop-rock lane that has garnered her legions of fans, despite her young age of 24.  She enjoyed viral success on TikTok when only just out of high school, and she continued that momentum in connecting with her fans by emanating a strong vibe of girl power, unbreakable self-determination and a compelling WGAF attitude. Just coming off her first headlining tour last Fall in support of her latest EP, Sagittarius, and culminating with a show at LA's Roxy Theatre, Taylor shares with us the story of her musical upbringing, her love of punk shows, and why live performance is so important to her. Her journey to get to this point is really a tale of destiny -- and now she's headed out on the road soon once again to headline shows throughout the U.S. and Europe. She'll then be performing in support of Swedish star Tove Lo in September. Taylor is on a incredible roll and we applaud and love that.  Hop on the Roadcase bus for this episode and learn even more about the life and amazing young career of this delightful artist, Taylor Upsahl.

How do you make sense of all the current world events with the Ukraine-Russia war, AI developments, economic uncertainty and social revolution? This new research reveals the patterns under all of these world events. We are in one of the most transformative times of year right now. It's Eclipse Season, Mercury is Retrograde and Jupiter just entered Aries. In the last episode, I shared how the Jupiter in Aries transit effects you personally. In this episode, I share how this transit affects the collective, via the historical transits of Jupiter in Aries. This happens every 12 years and reveals a pattern of several major world events involving wars, social change and tech innovations. This is the result of hours of research through history to find the most relevant themes and patterns that have occurred. In this episode, I'll share Overview of Jupiter in Aries meaning on a global level, including a less common interpretation of Jupiter in Aries that many people miss. All of the major events, themes and patterns that have happened when Jupiter was in Aries from 1903 until 2023, in these main areas: 1. War and Conflict 2. Political, Social and Musical Change 3.

Read Full Show Notes at the Website Timestamps [1:09] Pluto stations retrograde on May 1st (10:08 AM PDT) at 00°21' Aquarius and will be retrograde through October 10, 2023. This station should be felt most strongly between April 30 - May 2nd.  Look for struggles over control and power. [2:38] While Pluto is retrograde, it re-enters Capricorn on June 10th and re-visit the last few degrees of that sign. Pluto re-enters Aquarius on January 20, 2024. [3:23] If you have any planets or important points in your chart near 25° - 29° Capricorn or of the other Cardinal signs, Aries, Cancer and Libra, these Pluto transits could be an influential time for you. [4:17] Also on May 1st (4:27 PM PDT), the Sun conjoins Mercury at 11°19' Taurus, on the Sabian symbol, 12 Taurus, Windows shoppers. This is the second of three Sun-Mercury conjunctions: one on March 27th, this one, and a third on June 30th. [6:16] Venus squares Neptune on May 4th (10:40 AM PDT), at 26°50' Gemini and Pisces, opening our eyes to realties about relationships and value. [8:00] Venus sextiles Jupiter on May 4th (9:03 PM PDT) at 27°19' Gemini and Aries.  Consider it a consolation prize after the Venus-Neptune square earlier in the day.  The Sabian symbols: Venus on 28 Gemini, A man declared bankrupt and Jupiter on 28 Aries, A large disappointed audience. Starting with a clean slate, we can reach out for something more rewarding. [10:41] Moon Report!  The Full Moon on May 5th (10:34 AM PDT) is a Lunar Eclipse at 14°58' Scorpio.  This is our last eclipse in Scorpio until 2031. This is a highly charted eclipse with the Moon and Sun both in aspect to Uranus. [11:28] Past eclipses related to this Lunar Eclipse are:  the Solar Eclipse on November 3, 2013 also the Lunar Eclipses on May 4, 2004 and May 4, 1985.  Look at where 14°58' Scorpio falls in your chart for clues as to how this transit could affect you personally.  Here's a video about Finding Transits in Your Birth Chart. [12:24] This eclipse falls closer to the South Node of the Moon in Scorpio.  Let go of bitterness, resentment, jealousy and grudges. Lean into the North Node in Taurus and trust in the world around us. [13:13] This is the Full Moon in a Lunar Phase Family Cycle that began with a New Moon on November 4th, 2021 at 12°40' Scorpio. This Full Moon Lunar Eclipse will illuminate the progress made thus far on this lunar path. [14:18] Void-of-Course Moon (VOC) periods. On May 1st, the Moon in Virgo opposes Neptune (4:53 PM PDT). It's VOC for a little over six hours, before it enters Libra (11:09 PM PDT). Balance time spent in the imaginal world versus the land of Google Sheets. [15:32] On May 4th, the Moon in Libra opposes Jupiter in Aries (2:17 AM PDT).  It's VOC for little over five hours before it enters Scorpio (7:32 AM PDT). Consider options before you act. [17:04] The Moon in Scorpio trines Neptune in Pisces on May 6th (7:38 AM PDT).  It will be VOC for about 5 ½ hours before entering Sagittarius (1:04 PM PDT). Practice forgiveness and self-care, starting with a relaxing soak in the tub. [18:10] Venus enters Cancer on May 7th (7:25 AM PDT). The lesser benefic will be in this sign until June 6th  Take advantage of Venus' time in Cancer because she will have an extended stay in Leo due to a retrograde period. [18:50] Venus in Cancer themes can include: spending money on decorating your home, graduation gifts, Mother's Day gifts, cooking for loved ones, and beautifying the garden. [20:14] Listener Elliott asks about finding in-laws in a birth chart. Recommended reading:  Rex E. Bills' The Rulership Book  ;  J.

"When you know yourself you are empowered. When you accept yourself you are invincible.”当你认识自己你就变得有力量了。当你接受自己你就无敌了！Lily's birth ChartLily: so you have something for me, right? 你有东西要给我对不对？Bella: I do. I actually pulled up your birth chart. Yay. Because I wanted to know more about you now, what a birth chart is. It is a map of the stars and the planets on in the moment that you took your first breath on this planet on earth. So it's showing where the planets were exactly in that moment with the time, the date, the location, everything. And this birth chart can tell you a lot about who you are as a person. And as you know, you are a Sagittarius Sun. You were born during Sagittarius season when the sun was in that sign. But what's really interesting about it is we have three zodiac signs that really define who we are, which are called our big three, which is the sun, the moon, and the rising. So the moon, where the moon was on that particular day also gives you insight on who you are as a person. Now your moon was in Capricorn on the day you were born, and based on the time you were born, your rising sign is also Capricorn. So have you ever felt like you were not a full Sagittarius?对的。 事实上我调出了你的出生图。 因为我现在想更多地了解你。出生图是什么？它是您在地球上的这个星球上第一次呼吸时的恒星和行星地图。 所以它显示了行星在那个时刻的确切位置以及时间、日期、位置和所有内容。 这个出生图可以告诉你很多关于你是谁的信息。 就所知，您是射手座太阳。 您出生在射手座季节，当时太阳在射手座。 但真正有趣的是，我们有三个真正定义我们是谁的星座，它们被称为我们的三大星座，即太阳、月亮和上升。 所以月亮，那个特定日子的月亮也让你洞察到你是谁。 现在你出生那天月亮在摩羯座，根据你出生的时间，你的上升星座也是摩羯座。 那么你有没有觉得自己不是十足的射手座呢？Lily: Yes, exactly. I know I have a lot of Capricorns in my life. 是的，我知道在我的生命里（星盘）有很多的摩羯座。Bella: You have a lot of planets in Capricorn, which is great because that's Capricorn is an earth sign. And that makes you super grounded, super practical, super ambitious. Someone who's going to go after the thing that they want. Ok. So you have an advantage, , you have an advantage. And it's interesting though, because Sagittarius is one of the most optimistic signs. But Capricorn on the other hand is more of a pessimist, . So you could go both ways, , but that's good because it's like you're not too overly positive and optimistic. Your Capricorn energy comes in and puts things in check. So you're very grounded. Capricorn is a self-starter. They're all about starting new things, new ideas, projects, putting things into action. So it's very interesting how your Sagittarius sun with a Capricorn rising and moon and your rising sign is also how you look. And the thing about Capricorn risings, they get hotter and hotter as they age. They look better and better. , I actually made a video about that, about Capricorn Risings, they're the ones who are gonna be flirting by the time they're gonna reach their prime when they're in their eighties , they're gonna be flirting with everyone at the你有很多的行星落在摩羯座，这很好，因为摩羯座是土象星座。 这让你超级脚踏实地，超级实用，超级雄心勃勃。 会去追求他们想要的东西的人。 所以你有优势，你有优势。 不过这很有趣，因为射手座是最乐观的星座之一。 但另一方面，摩羯座更像是一个悲观主义者。 所以你可以两全其美，但这很好，因为你似乎并不过分积极和乐观。 你的摩羯座能量进来并控制一切。 所以你很接地气。 摩羯座是一个主动的人。 他们都是关于开始新事物、新想法、新项目，并将事情付诸行动。 所以非常有趣的是，你的射手座太阳与摩羯座上升和月亮以及你的上升星座也是你的样子。 还有关于摩羯座上升的事情，随着年龄的增长，他们会变得越来越性感。 他们看起来状态会越来越好。 事实上，我制作了一个视频是关于上升星座落在摩羯座的人，那些在 80 岁达到巅峰时，会调情的人 ，他们会和所有人调情。Lily: Well. That's what I've been telling my friends, I often think if I was a man, I would probably win over so many ladies. I would be like ladies boy, ladies is a ladies boy. ladies man. I would be ladies man. Yeah, just like I, I'm such a flirt, but as a woman I'm kind of more reserved. But I also see that I am more flirtatious when I get older now. I'm more confident. More confident. Yeah.这也是我一直告诉我的朋友的话，我经常想如果我是一个男人，我可能会赢得那么多女士。 我会像是一个花花公子。 我很会调情，但作为一个女人，我又比较内向害羞。 但我也发现，我现在年纪大了，更爱打情骂俏，因为我更有信心了。Bella: Well the thing about Capricorns is they're not very confident when they're young, but they develop their confidence through their accomplishments throughout life. So the more that they develop and mature and accomplish things, the better they feel about themselves. So that confidence definitely shows as they mature. So it's a really good path to be on as a Capricorn rising. And you have all these Capricorn planets and it's your rising sign. So you have a very strong presence. When you meet someone, they really feel who you are. When you enter a room, people know you're there. They can feel your presence and they can feel your energy because of how much planets you have in your first house of the self. So you have a strong sense of self. You are two feet on the ground, you know what you want, you go after it and you make it happen.摩羯座的人在年轻的时候不太自信，但是他们通过一生的成就培养了自信。 因此，他们越是发展、成熟和完成事情，他们对自己的感觉就越好。 因此，随着他们的成熟，这种信心肯定会显现出来。 所以这是上升摩羯座的一条非常好的道路。 你拥有所有这些摩羯座行星，这是你的上升星座。 所以你有很强的存在感。 当你遇到某人时，他们会真正感受到你是谁。 当你进入一个房间时，人们就知道你在那里。 他们可以感受到你的存在，他们可以感受到你的能量，因为你许多行星在你的第一宫。所以你有很强的自我意识。你是十分脚踏实地，你知道你想要什么，你去追求它并实现它。And it's something to be admired, all that Capricorn energy. But then you have your sun in Sagittarius that wants to travel, that wants to explore, that wants to gain higher wisdom. That is always changing. Its mind going left to and all over the place. So it's a really interesting balance of energy that you have cuz you're so much fun and you're all about adventure and excitement. But then you have this really practical side, which is helping you manifest your goals and your dreams. So it's like you can go out into the world, travel, get all this knowledge and experience, but it's exactly what I'm seeing in my face. You're in this beautiful exotic country and what are you doing right now? You are working on your business. That is exactly what a Sagittarius with a Capricorn moon and rising would do. You're hustling, you're making things happen. Exactly. You're the CEO of your own life, so I love that for you.这是值得钦佩的，所有摩羯座的能量。但是你的太阳在射手座，所以你非常想要旅行，想要探索，想要获得更高的智慧。你总是在变化，你总是想得非常多。所以这是一种非常有趣的能量平衡，因为你非常有趣，而且你喜欢冒险和兴奋。但是你有这个真正实际的一面，它帮助你实现你的目标和梦想。所以就像你可以走进世界，旅行，获得所有这些知识和经验，但这正是我现在看到的。你在美丽的异国他乡，你现在在做什么？你正在经营你的生意。 这正是有摩羯座月亮和上升的射手座会做的事情。 你非常忙碌，你不会坐等其成。 你是你自己生活的首席执行官，所以我非常喜欢你这点。Lily: My new school, they are really surprised because I'm studying five hours of Spanish every day, Monday to Saturday. And I said that I could even study on Sunday. And then they are really surprised. They think that I'm really weird. But they also have this stereotype that Asian students, they are very disciplined and then they study really hard. They have this goal. And I tell everybody in the school that my goal is to improve my Spanish. I want to speak really, really good, really, really, really well. And then yeah, I think I, I also told my teacher that I'm not here on vacation. I have this goal to work on my Spanish and also my business at the same time and I have no time for friends.我的新学校，他们真的很惊讶，因为我周一到周六每天要学习五个小时的西班牙语。我说我什至可以在星期天学习。然后他们真的很惊讶。他们认为我真的很奇怪。但他们也有这样的刻板印象，即亚洲学生纪律严明，学习非常努力。通常亚洲学生来到这里学西语都有这个目标。我告诉学校里的每个人，我的目标是提高我的西班牙语水平。我想说得非常非常非常非常非常好。然后是的，我也告诉我的老师我不是来度假的。我的目标是同时处理我的西班牙语和我的事业，我没有时间交朋友。Bella: Wow, that's amazing. It all makes sense now you have such strong calor energy, the most ambitious sign of the Zodiac. They're the ones that become the multi-millionaires and the CEOs of major companies and build something massive out of nothing. I envy you. I envy Capricorns. I wish I had that energy because it's, it's so much earth in your chart. Earth element is the best element to have on this planet cuz we're on earth. So you know how to manifest things in the physical reality. It's not just an idea up in la la land. You could bring it down into the practical, tangible world. So I love that you're doing that. I love that you're doing that. But you also have your sun in the 12 house, which is a very spiritual house conjunct Neptune, which is a very spiritual planet. So you could have very strong intuition, imagination very creative. You could have very intense dreams. Messages just come to you, answers just come to you, get a very strong sense of other people. You could tell right off the bat, is this person good for my life or not, really important for you is to trust that because your intuition is very strong. So don't disregard it. Pay attention to your intuition.哇，太神奇了。现在你拥有如此强大的能量，所以这一切都是有道理的，黄道十二宫中最雄心勃勃的星座。 他们是那些成为千万富翁和大公司的首席执行官，并从无到有地建立起巨大的东西。我非常羡慕你，因为我希望我也有那种能量，因为它在你的图表中是如此之多。土元素是这个星球上最好的元素，因为我们在地球上。所以你知道如何在物质现实中显化事物。 这不仅仅是不切实际的一个想法。 你可以把它带入实际的、有形的世界。 所以我喜欢你这样做。 我喜欢你这样做。 但你的太阳也在第 12 宫，这是一个非常灵性的宫位，与海王星合相，海王星是一个非常灵性的行星。 所以你可以有非常强的直觉，非常有创意的想像力。你可能会做非常强烈的梦。答案刚刚来到你身边，对其他人有非常强烈的感觉。 你可以马上判断，这个人对我的生活是否有益，对你来说真正重要的是相信这一点，因为你的直觉非常强大。 所以不要忽视它。 注意你的直觉。单词记忆：1. birth chart 生日图2. the sun, the moon, and the rising 太阳、月亮、上升3. grounded 脚踏实地4. flirt; flirtatious 调情；喜欢打情骂俏的5. confident; confidence 自信6. manifest 实现7. stereotype 刻板印象8. disciplined 自律9. tell right off the bat 马上10. disregard 忽视Bella 她的IG是：https://www.instagram.com/astrobellaluna/Email: Astrobellaluna@gmail.com加入5月8日开营的第三期迷你退休营：https://flywithlily.com/discover 或加主播微信：iflywithlily 验证消息：报名）

What you'll learn in this episode:   Who jewelry designer Bill Smith was, and why his work and life deserve to be remembered. Why Bill Smith was a trailblazer for Black jewelry designers. How JoAnne tracked down long-forgotten jewelry to create the exhibit “Bill Smith: Madison's Visionary Jewelry Designer.” Why Bill Smith's body jewelry was ahead of its time. How jewelry trends trickle down from high jewelry to costume.   About JoAnne Spiller   JoAnne Spiller is the Director of Education at the Jefferson County Historical Society based in Madison, Indiana. She has more than two decades of museum education experience with an emphasis on children's educational programming. She recently organized the exhibit “Bill Smith: Madison's Visionary Jewelry Designer,” and is currently conducting research for a book on Bill Smith's life and career.    Additional Resources: Facebook Instagram Twitter Linkedin   Photos Available on TheJewelryJourney.com   Transcript:   Bill Smith was a trendsetting Black jewelry designer who did everything from Cartier collaborations to costume jewelry. His designs were seen on the likes of Lena Horne and Cicely Tyson. Yet in the 30 years since his death, his impact has been largely forgotten. JoAnne Spinner, Director of Education for the Jefferson County Historical Society, hopes to change that with her recent exhibit, “Bill Smith: Madison's Visionary Jewelry Designer” and a forthcoming book she is currently researching. She joined the Jewelry Journey Podcast to talk about Bill's trendsetting designs; how he found his path as a gay Black man from a small town; and why his work is worth collecting. Read the episode transcript here.    Sharon: Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Jewelry Journey Podcast. This is the first part of a two-part episode. Please make sure you subscribe so you can hear part two as soon as it's released later this week.   Today, we're talking with JoAnne Spiller, the Director of Education for the Jefferson County Historical Society located in Madison, Indiana. She recently curated an exhibition about Bill Smith who came from Madison, Indiana. A lot of you haven't heard of Bill Smith. I had never heard of him. He was one of the first, if not the first, Black jewelry designers to garner attention. He was very well-known in the 60s through the 80s but is just a footnote today. JoAnne is going to tell us all about Bill Smith. JoAnne, welcome to the podcast.   JoAnne: Thank you for having me. I'm very excited to speak with you.   Sharon: I'm so glad you're here. You came to Bill Smith through your education and your role. Can you tell us a little bit about that?   JoAnne: I have been the Director of Education here for 23 years. In the process of educating students, I have been building a file of famous Madisonians and Jefferson Countians from here who have gone on to do wonderful things. We are a very small community, and I think a lot of children don't feel like there's a lot of opportunity. Many of them don't leave here; they stay. Their families have been here for generations. I wanted to let them know, especially among our minority community, that you can come from a small town and go on to do big and wonderful things out there in the world.    So, my file included Bill Smith. An article was given to us a few years ago with a note saying, “Hey, did you know anything about him?” and we did not. That started my journey of finding information about Bill. It has become quite an obsession if you ask anybody that knows me, especially my family.   Sharon: I had never heard of him, but he must have been something because he's all over Google.   JoAnne: Yes, he is. He was born here in Madison in 1933. He had one sibling. They were a working-class family, and he went onto IU at the encouragement of his art teachers here. He was very much into creating, sculpting, making jewelry, and he was also a dancer.   Sharon: That was his first thing, being a dancer, right?   JoAnne: Yes, being a dancer. He went to IU to dance. He took art classes and was extremely encouraged by the art teachers there. After three semesters, he left. His teachers felt like he was ready to move on and do big things, so he left to go to New York to become a dancer. He could not find enough roles as a Black man in the 1950s. He graduated high school in 1951, so this would have been about 1953 or 1954 when he went out to New York, and he just couldn't find the roles to support himself. So, he turned to jewelry making.   According to my research, he became an assistant or apprentice or helper to some jeweler in New York who needed help following some kind of accident. That's what I've read. Bill stepped in and was extremely talented at what he did. Somewhere in that process, he struck out on his own and had his own experimental design company. This was in the late 50s. He met Raymond St. Jacques, who was a Black actor out in Hollywood. He was in a lot of westerns and rough-‘em-up kind of movies. Somehow, they formed a partnership and became Smith St. Jacques. Raymond was the financial backing for the early company, and Bill was the creative director. That business went on for several years until he caught the eye of Massimo Sargis at Richelieu, and then he started his big, wonderful costume jewelry career.   Sharon: He always worked in costume, but did he ever work in gold or silver?    JoAnne: I do have an ad in a magazine that shows Cartier work. He did work briefly for Cartier and Georg Jensen, who was a silversmith. For Cartier, he had some pendants I've seen that are polished stones, flat, and they are embellished with gold, I'm assuming, because it's Cartier. They've turned them into belts, like some of his other funky belts we have examples of. But as far as I know, those two companies are the only ones that would have had the finer materials. I have read that he did work with some high-end materials early on, before Smith St. Jacques. He did special orders and he worked for some of the higher-end department stores, but I do not have examples of those. Everything I have seen and have my hands on has been costume jewelry.   Sharon: You have one of the largest, or maybe it is the largest, collections in the country that people know about.   JoAnne: It's possible. It is very possible. We have more than 100 pieces of Bill's. I would say two-thirds of them are signed. The others I can positively attribute to him because I have spoken with the person who helped with those designs. So, I can absolutely, concretely say that these things are his design. I personally have about 35 in my collection.   Sharon: In your personal collection?   JoAnne: Yeah, for my personal collection. They're ones that speak to me, or maybe they're duplicates of the ones we have at the museum, but I still like them. I actually wore one out the other night. Nobody understood it. They all looked at me sideways, but I had a good deal of fun wearing it. It was one of his early ones, the trueskin with the horse and the bird on a big, fat, heavy chain. People who know me know that's not really my style. I was feeling bad that day, so I wore it. I wanted to get the story out. I wanted people to comment and ask so I could share my knowledge.   Sharon: I guess that's leading into my next question. You curated this exhibit. What were the comments from people who came and had never heard of him?   JoAnne: They thought it was fantastic. I know they figured it was going to be this itty-bitty, halfway-put-together exhibit, and it wasn't. People were actually astounded at what we had on display. We may be a small museum, but we have the glass cases and panels and things like that. We really did put together a very excellent display on him, and it was up for about a month. It was supposed to be exhibited in July instead of October, but I did not feel like I had enough of a collection to do that. I ended up getting more information on him in September that led me down another route, and then it was time to put the exhibit together.   Sharon: People walked away saying, “Well, that's a great exhibit,” but did they walk away saying, “I never knew about him”?   JoAnne: A lot of them did. When I spoke earlier, I said a lot of people don't leave this town—and they don't; their roots go back generations. I am not from here. I've been here long enough where you could maybe consider me a native, but a few people that went to school with him came in and said, “Oh, we always knew he was going to do great things because he had such talent.” Unfortunately, they couldn't give me much more than that. I don't think they had a close relationship. They just knew of him and wanted to sneak a peek at what he had become later in life.    We did have a woman who loaned us a suede choker from one of his early collections. It has brass cutouts on it. It looks like a dog collar. She loaned it to us for the exhibition, and after seeing the display, she gave it to us. She gave it to the museum. She said, “This is where this piece belongs. It belongs with his collection.” Another woman, who is a recent native to our town, came into the museum three times to see this exhibit. Every time she came in, we had a discussion about it and she wanted to learn more. She would come in and say, “Hey, I saw this piece on eBay. What do you think of it?” She was bitten by the bug. She ended up gifting us an absolutely fantastic, rare piece before Christmas because she knew the story was important and she wanted to be part of it. She saw this piece and knew it was perfect for our collection, so she gave it to us. It was absolutely wonderful. It's one of the ones I show when I do show and share.   Sharon: What were his heyday years?   JoAnne: That is an excellent question. I feel like it came and went in waves according to the company he was working with. Some of it is difficult to ascertain because his work is not always signed. Unless you have the backstory or you happen to know concretely that he did work on this collection, it's hard to say when that big wave started. I do know that according to the 5½-inch binder of research I have—I'm not kidding you—most of the articles I have were from the late 60s into the early 70s. When he left Richelieu in 1970, he went to work for the parent company, O'Dell, which had Cartier and Ben Kahn fur. So, he did some furs. He worked for Mark Cross doing leather goods.    I mentioned the Cartier jewelry earlier. There's a definite collection I know is his that's all arrows, because arrows are his thing. He's a Sagittarius, which he mentioned several times; it was the 60s. Arrows were very important to him, so I know that one of the Cartier collections with arrows is his, but it is not signed. It was very rare for a designer to sign their work at that time. For him to be able to sign it was pretty phenomenal.   Sharon: He didn't seem to work for Cartier for that long.   JoAnne: He did not. I guess that was under the parent company. Unless I can find an article or a magazine photo that attributes it to him, I can't be sure of all the collections he worked on. Of course, like any fashion, you design in one season, say the winter, but it's for the spring collection. He may have worked for one company or another designing a collection, but it was launched after he left. There's still a lot of investigation I need to do. The timeline for him, I don't have it quite tightened up yet. I'm still working on it.   Sharon: You mentioned some of the costume jewelry companies he did work for. Let's say O'Dell.   JoAnne: The parent company after Richelieu. He worked for Laguna. I do have a few pieces of his that are Laguna.    Sharon: Are they signed?   JoAnne: Yes, they are. I missed out on an auction the other day, and I kicked myself for a week. I'm still kicking myself. There are things I look for to complete a collection. Laguna is one of the ones he designed for. That company, if you Google it now, is all beach ware; it's Laguna, California. It might be difficult to find things because I don't think he did too many collections for them.   He also worked for Hattie Carnegie, but I can't find anything of his that was signed. I have a newspaper article that shows a necklace, but the image is so poor I can't tell what it looks like. I could have one in my collection; I wouldn't even know it because I can't tell from the image.    Sharon: What was his big break?    JoAnne: It was the body jewelry.    Sharon: The body jewelry?   JoAnne: The body jewelry he did with the pearls. I interviewed Clifton Nicholson, who himself is a very well-known designer in his own right. He lives 20 minutes from here. I spent an afternoon at Clifton's studio, and he gifted me probably 150 pieces of jewelry.    Sharon: At one time?   JoAnne: Well, it was over two times. He came to see the exhibit in October. He called me a week later and came in with a big shopping bag full of jewelry that Bill had told him he could have when Bill was closing his Long Island studio to go work for Richelieu. Clifton grabbed whatever he saw. A lot of it was Bill's original designs that aren't signed but are definitely his. That was quite a gift. Then when I went back to have lunch with him and do an interview, he gave me another small bag of jewelry, still fantastic. There are several I have that are now positively identified because I found photos of them, so I can put the photos or the advertisements with the jewelry. I just love doing that; I love making that.   Sharon: Let's say you have an unsigned piece. Can you look at it and say, “Oh, that's Bill's,” or “It looks like Bill's”?   JoAnne: I can because I've been looking at them daily. He has a certain flair. There was a woman that came in and said, “Oh, I have this Richelieu bracelet and it's a Bill Smith.” I looked at it and said, “I'm sorry, but it's not. It's too late. It's too modern. He was not working for them at the time.” It was a late 80s design, and I said, “He was gone by then. That can absolutely not be identified as his.” I have a pretty good eye. I spend a lot of time when I travel looking at antique malls and flea markets hoping that something will call to me, and I will be able to find a piece I don't have or I've never seen before. Then I ask my husband for the credit card so I can buy it. But I do think I have a fairly good eye for that. I can tell.    His early stuff is very rough and unfinished. Clifton told me a lot about the jewelry industry and designers and how that all worked. They riffed off each other all the time. You make a collection of crosses, and Avon's got one too, and Kenneth J. Lane has one too. They're all similar, but Kenneth's are very, very polished and look extremely high-end. Bill's stuff is a little more brutalist; it's a little more rough around the edges. So, I can look at something and go, “Hmm,” or “It's a knock-off.” Joan Rivers has stuff that looks like his early stuff. There's no new design in jewelry, but I think I have a pretty good eye. It's not fail-proof. Since Clifton gave me that early jewelry, I can look at it and get a feel for that time period. When I look at things online, I can say, “Maybe. That's a strong maybe.”    Clifton was also very helpful because I had created a catalogue, so to speak, of all the jewelry I've seen on the internet that I know is Bill's or maybe is Bill's. Because they worked together for two years, we flipped through the whole book and he would say, “Yes, no, maybe, yes, no.” It was wonderful, because who else is going to be able to tell me that in a positive way? The zodiac collection, which I'm kind of obsessed with, is not signed, but Clifton, during one of my interviews, said, “Yeah, that's Bill Smith's design. He sketched it, I carved it,” so I can say that is one of his pieces even though it's not signed.    That was a gift to me from Bill from above, I think. He sent Clifton to me. Clifton needed closure. I needed to have a conversation with someone that knew Bill. We met, and it was wonderful. It's been so very helpful. I've been able to take my research to another level that I had not considered before. It was quite a blessing that Clifton came in, was wowed, and knew that this is where the pieces should be. He said, “I don't know why I've been keeping these all these years. It must be because of this.” He's been hanging onto those as long as I've been alive, I'm telling you. The bag of jewelry and I are the same age. It's been a long time, but it was quite a gift. He knew we would take very good care of it, and he wants to help me to tell his story.    Sharon: He was Black, but he was also gay. When he went to New York, did he find more acceptance in the design community there?   JoAnne: I believe he did. At the time, in the early 70s, there was a boom of Black designers that were finally getting noticed, whether it was fashion or jewelry or some other kind of art form. They were finally getting some recognition and publicity outside of the Black community. The Black community supported them very well.    As far as the part about being gay, he was not as comfortable here in Madison as he would have been in New York. He needed to be away from a small town to be able to realize his potential. He could have gone to Chicago or Detroit, I suppose, but he took himself all the way to New York because he could, and he did. He knew that's where he needed to be, and he did not give up; he persevered. I think he really was more accepted there than he was here.   Sharon: We will have photos posted on the website.
