We are the numerous attractions referred to .

My Full Moon pleasant surprise was that while I had been informed that KC & the Sunshine Band would be performing and I was happilly ready to do a little dance and get down tonight; at dinner break, found out that Jerry Seinfeld would be performing. So that was quite a fantastic perk! I have always loved comedy and it was my { as well as my husabnd’s secret dream to be a comedian} and boy was Jerry funny, He is a master. His timing perfect, so dry.

Topics: Life sucks, your life, his life, well not his life as much as yours-the sudience, cell phones, I PHONES, you better answer when I PHONE!, the drama of cell phones running out of power, funerals, death beds and other furniture to expire on, with etc., cremation, men and women, kids, fathers, his mothers windshield, the weather, etc. You had to be there. and I am very thank full that I was.

  

Temperance Tarot CArd Trump # 14 aka Art

Balance of Opposites, infinity symbol cosmic symbolism

LEO FULL MOON Jan 29- Jan 30 2010

LET YOUR LOVE LIGHT SHINE copyright Tara Greene

 Very unique configuration Balance of the Lovers

 SUN conjunct Venus in Aquarius / Moon conjunct Mars in Leo

Jan 29 @ 10 degrees + Aquarius/Leo 10:18 pm PST Jan 30  @ 1:18 am EST / Jan 30 @ 6:18 am GMT

 When I first saw this configuration I went wow it’s a perfect eternity loop and dance of the balance of opposites in perfect harmony in opposing signs.  This is as symbol and pointer of the Alchemical Sacred Marriage of the Masculine and Feminine aligning, holding the tension of the opposites.

It’s a perfect Cosmic symbol of the Tarot  TRUMP # 14 TEMPERANCE aka ART in the Thoth Tarot, which I use.

 With the Sun,the symbol of Divine Light, Life, daylight consciousness, the ego, identity in Aquarius the sign opposite Leo which it rules, the Sun is partaking of Aquarius Airy non-ego, group consciousness, individual identity, freedom, revolutionary thought,  tech, inventions, new style of leadership. Witness the President of the US with an Aquarius ascendant he is a Leo.

 The Sun is with Venus the Goddess of Love 4 degrees+ away from the Sun. That’s close. Venus brings Values and Love feminine grace, feelings and beauty to Aquarian detachment. Venus in Aquarius brings higher consciousness in partnership, Freedom in relationships { are Brangelina splitting now?} romance, love of our fellow humans, group co-operation which is being shown large on the world stage with help for the poor Haitians.

 So it’s a symbol of the Feminine the Goddess energy merging  with the centre of Life and Light, taking center stage with the Sun.  As Divine partners, the Light of the Feminine is rising on this Leo Full Moon with Passion, pizzazz, regal ness,

Courage, daring, leadership, power, heart, for the children. Leo rules the child, with willpower, the power of LOVE AND LIGHT is the most powerful source there is. It is a divine symbol of ALL THAT IS. THE LIGHT IS LOVE, LOVE IS THE SOURCE.

 MOON AND MARS DANCE CHEEK TO CHEEK

 Opposite the Sun and Venus is the Moon at 10 degrees of Leo and Mars at 9 degrees. Even hotter. Mars is the ruler of Aries the first fiery passionate sign, so Mars works well in Leo’s fires but he is still Retrograde remember? How could we forget?

Old lovers, old macho attitudes, old defences wearing away slowly? Everything taking sooo long to get anything done?

The Macho is going into a looking backwards view of itself which is being reflected by the Moon’s silvery mirror.

Mars in Leo shows the old kings falling from their lofty self-centered ego- thrones. Moon is reflecting her feminine mirror through Leo’s ego stance. Moon in Leo is authentic self-expression, drama, flourish, will power, determination, action, courage, and the child.

Feelings and instincts {the Moon} will feel more defensive and raw during this Lunation are we can also tune in more subtly and be more sensitive to, the child within.

Full Moons bring Light to the shadow the opposition of Dark and Light, Masculine and feminine the Grand duality Illusion of yin and yang. The magnetic force which attracts and keeps all things moving in the divine dance of Love .

 SATURN SQUARE PLUTO

Saturn and Pluto aka Father Time and Lord of the Underworld move into the 2nd of 3 exact squares in Libra-Capricorn. It’s a karmic balancing act for the Plutocrats of the world. High noon.

The first exact square was on Nov 15 2009 at 1 degree 42 minutes, the 2nd is on the 31st @ 4 degrees 21 minutes Libra Capricorn and the 3rd will be Aug 21st 2010 at 2 degrees 55 mins.

 All early CARDINAL SIGNS Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn are feeling the push pull of new structure, death, rebirth, crisis in consciousness, building new beginnings in partnerships, business, relationships.  Father Time and Pluto is pushing us to let go of the old so we can evolve.  Saturn in Libra stresses co-operation, and the re-balancing of the opposites as we clearly see in this Lunation.

 The lemniscate or eternity symbol, the dorje in Tibetan symbolism, the lightning bolt of wisdom, all figure symbolically as cosmic portents in the sky on this Full MOON.

Use it to feel a sense of completion, review past actions, dramas, temper tantrums, ego desires {Mars in Leo retro} and create harmonious body movements with Sun and Venus together. Bring out your creative side from the closet, let your LOVELIGHT SHINE.

We are moving very quickly towards a new event horizon in consiousness.

 And SPEAKING OF ROYALTY

 Jupiter, King of the Gods newly in Pisces the sign he rules, expands endings, spirituality, compassion, foreigners, higher education, dreaming, compassion, forgiveness, legal matters, creativity, soul merging, fantasy, illusion, delusion, addictions, water, flooding emotions, and feet, so walk a mile in someone else’s shoes is a big theme this year as Jupiter speeds through Pisces and moves at lightning speed into Aries where we get a preview of the New Life, then backs into Pisces again. A time to feel the presence of spirit within moving through you, to get back to nature, walk in the woods, commune like st. Francis with the animals, to soak your feet in Epsom salts baths, to walk along vast stretches of untouched beaches, to swim and commune with the dolphins. To watch the waters rise. Pisces is the last sign, Jupiter  in Pisces relates to the Year of the {Metal} Tiger, The end to most major religious orthodoxy but also entrenchment of religious delusions and mucho fanaticism.

JUPITER IN PISCES says BE EXTRAVAGANT  TO YOUR FEET, THANK THEM and Bless them for the dear Soles they are. They ground spirit ground your body. I predict a banner year for podiatrists,  reflexologists, and pedicures. 

 

 I was asked by Rob McConnell who’s show I have appeared regularly on monthly, the X Zone radio Network  since July 2006 answering listener’s phone in questions from all over the North America and the rest of the world, I’ll get to the point, Why no psychics foresaw the earthquake in Haiti in their 2010 predictions, I myself was one of the predictors included in the X- Zone Dec. issue newspaper.

My predictions for 2010 were also published in the Toronto Sun newspaper and you can read them all on my site here. It ‘s a good question. I pondered it from many different angles asking my spirit guides to help me zone in on what I saw clairvoyantly, heard clairaudiently and sensed clairsentiently.

I read over all of the psychics’ predictions, and found that some of us {myself included} mentioned earthquakes coming, but in the West coast.

I knew Astrologically but that was not from where I was answering the questions initially, that ECLIPSES trigger earthquakes, the evidence of that info is being collated thoroughly these days. There was a Blue Moon Lunar Eclipse Dec 31st in Cancer and a very, very long Total eclipse of the Sun in Capricorn on Jan 16-17th.

The Earthquake in Haiti struck on Jan 12 with a 7 magnitude plus aftershocks devastating most of Port au Prince sandwiched in between two very powerful Eclipses.

I did check on Haiti’s Natal chart of Independence for Jan 1 1804 and aligned it with the planets overhead on Jan 12 for Port au Prince to find it under very exact difficult tense and stressful angles by two very malefic planets,  Pluto, Lord of death and rebirth and Saturn Lord of Karma, plus a retrograde Mars aspecting it as well. Note that Saturn and Pluto were last aligned in an exact opposition n Aug 2001 right before 911 as well.

My answer to why the Haitian earthquake disaster was not picked up in advance by most psychics? The image I got was that Haiti is under a very large, black, dark energy, almost as if it were hidden and cloaked in darkness, virtually veiled. I surmised that a lot of the psychics were looking at and getting their info from the light for information.

One answer seems to be that Haiti itself is a generating station for and steeped in negativity, evil and black magic darkness itself. My intuition pointed me to the fact that Haiti is, and has always been a huge center of VOODOO practices, even though 80% or more of the population are also Catholics and very deeply religious as most poor folks are.

Voodoo is indeed very dark energy, evil intended, power hungry, sinister, blood drinking, sacrificial virgins and victims, evil eye, juju, African origin extremelynegative black magic.  A kind of Matrix of evil energies and intents. 

Another influence that I saw and felt was that the earthquake wasn’t natural. It was created artificially by HAARP a US Military Govt. run “weather station” in Alaska which has been secretly funded and experimenting with weather control for over 30 years using sound resonance’s. see the following

http://www.haarp.net/ and http://proliberty.com/observer/20100101.htm

It was reported that the terrible tsunami in Indonesia was created through one of HAARP’s experiments. HAARP used the known fault line. The US wants Haiti; it has been controlling it through the UN by ousting Asistedes who was a democratically elected president. Haiti has resources the US needs, cheap human labour, it is virgin territory, close to Cuba, and apparently has oil.

 So if you’re not scanning in a very wide net looking in all directions you may not see the impending signs.

The other sense I had is that Mother Nature, Gaia Herself; the Goddess, the Intelligence of Mother Earth, the Divine Feminine is getting rid of those creating negative energy on this planet. I am sorry that so many people, especially children are suffering, but Haiti is a very corrupt place, not the kid’s fault.

In terms of magical law, or Sacred Law {under the ruler ship of Jupiter} what you put out comes back to you 9 times. So for all that VOODOO,  sticking pins into your enemies, vampirish chicken head biting off, live blood drinking, burying people alive and god knows what else gumbo mumbo jumbo evil reeking sin certain peoples generated, they are getting theirs back. The innocent always suffer, it doesn’t seem at all fair.  If Divine Intelligence is so high and mighty why aren’t just the truly evil bad people decimated leaving the ordinary decent folks to survive? You may well ask.

I am also a pretty keen follower of Stuart Wilde whose latest book Grace Gaia and the End of Days talks about Gaia’s revenge and God’s Gladiator’s coming back to settle the mess karmically and flatten all that is ghoulish everywhere around us.

See Stuart Wilde’s latest which I found after I’d written this tonight. http://www.stuartwildeblog.com/sws-jottings/2010/1/24/voodoo-sw.html

I have to admit honestly that It’s pretty confusing sorting out the mixed signals these days. On the one hand the Matrix of Evil the New World Order is tightening its grip and using whatever tech it has at its disposal. Aka Pluto in Capricorn.

On the more spiritually enlightened side, is the Divine Feminine getting retribution, call her Kali, Karmic retribution, the Goddess of a trillion Universes, the beginning of the 5th world, Armageddon, the approach to 2012,  Saturn in Libra, JUSTICE.

The results end up looking the same whether its coming from the Evil greedy Military N.W.O. guys on the ground, or the Good Goddess, Mother Nature, Divine retribution, the Karmic balance.

Not as simple as Avatar.. And who is really to judge or tell? An old Chinese proverb says that one can’t tell what looks like destruction may really be a good thing.

And my final word on this is my inner knowing about name destiny and how all the clues are right here in front of our very eyes.  He that has eyes use them, to see. They don’t call it HAITI  { pronounced HATE- ee} for no reason.

Saturn, the Karmic Planet enters LIBRA  Oct 29 2009  

we’re in THE KARMIC BALANCE
lets get NICELY serious, ok?
 
Saturn is EXALTED in Libra -special status
Great for getting seriously committed this year and while Saturn is travelling through the sign of serious relationships.
Saturn is under Venus’s rule while in Her sign, So women, beauty, harmony, balance, the arts, values, luxury are all major themes, did I mention romance?
 
ALL early degrees of Libra will feel Saturn’s “heavyness” This is a good thing as Saturn steadies, grounds, balances out the opposites,which is Libra’s totally balancing act to work out.
BUT YOU WILL BE TESTED!!! albeit in a much NICER way than any other sign Saturn traverses.
 
Most of 2010 is a bit of a preview of Saturn through Libra which will last until OCT 5 2012!!!!
That’s just before the YOU KNOW WHAT DATE!
 
so better get your collective KARMIC VEHICLE TOGETHER NOW!!!
 
Saturn turns Retro @ 4 degrees 39 mins Libra Jan 14 2010. 

April 8 2010 SATURN RE-ENTERS VIRGO

so we will have to PERFECT the balancing act and tune it up during this time period

Saturn turns DIRECT @ 27 degrees 50 mins Virgo on May 31
 
July 21 Saturn re- enters Libra
Sept 5 Saturn re-gains 4 degrees  39 mins and finally moves ahead!
 
Dec 31 Saturn is at 16 degrees 37 mins of Libra
 

SATURN IN VIRGO
AS YOU SOW, SO SHALL YOU REAP!

 

(more…)

WOW!  It’s been an incredible year, 2009. An 11 year, a Master Year, as in 11 = Master #’s, relating to Strength in the Tarot, and Justice and memory, the High Priestess and the Hermit # 9 Himself.

Capt. Sulley’s landing on the Hudson stands out in my memory as one of the highflying Highlights for me and the wave of Hope that Pres Obama’s inauguration ushered in. A  re-mix of Camelot in the 21st Century.

 So Astrology wise as 2009 ends which flips into the birth of 2010- in the

AS ABOVE SO BELOW- Mirror world of metaphor and literal symbols of this event what do we see?

Quite a send off! BLUE MOON- {there was a Full Moon in Gemini Dec 1st/2nd} so this 2nd Full Moon in one calendrical month is what makes the Moon, Blue, an ancient metaphor for a rare event- A New Year’s Blue Moon hasn’t happened since 1990 {so think back to what changes occurred then} and won’t happen again till 2028. So that’s pretty rare, although Blue Moon’s do occur regularly, ever 2- 2 ½ years. The next ones will be in 2012.

 This New Year’s Eve also has a Partial Lunar Eclipse in Cancer at 10 degrees 14 mins, occurring at 2:14 pm EST/ 11:14 am PST/ 7:14 pm GMT.

The Eclipse won’t be visible in Toronto where I reside or in most of North America, although Newfoundland may see some of it. The Eclipse will be visible from much of Australia, Asia and Europe and most of Africa.  Europe, Africa the Middle East sees/feels the Eclipse on Dec 31st.  Actually there won’t be much to see on this eclipse anyways, only 7.5% of the Moon will be in umbral, fully dark.  In India and Central Asia the Eclipse begins in 2009 and ends in 2010. That’s a long eclipse for them. The Eclipse occurs on Jan 1st in China, Indonesia and New Zealand where none of it is visible from N.Z. The Eclipse has max effect where it is the most visible-the Eclipse path.

 This is also what’s called a Super Moon, when the Moon is closest to the earth and in line with Sun and earth.

EMOTIONAL ECLIPSE IN CANCER  

A Lunar Eclipse amplifies the Full Moon’s pull to the max! I predict that it will be a very Xtremely EMOTIONAL NEW YEARS, very sentimental, overflowing with tears of joy and happiness, and sadness for what has passed as befits a Lunar Eclipse in the Sign of Cancer.

Lunar Eclipses interrupt the solar and lunar electromagnetic flows when they occur. This helps us to release old patterns, in this case most definitely old security/insecurity issues, family ties, home, mothering, nurturing, food, stability, the nest, the womb, the unconscious, the ocean, the Goddess, the Divine Mother, Gaia, the Earth Herself.

 EARTHY CAPRICORN

The Sun, Mercury- Retro, Venus, Pluto and the North Node are all lined up in earthy Capricorn at this Full moon/eclipse. So we will stay very grounded as that entire practical Earthiness can absorb all the overflowing water from the emotions, and the tidal pull of the Moon.

 RETRO NEW YEAR  & RETROSEXUALS –a new type of sexuality is being birthed for men!

May feel kinda Deja Vu-ish what with the Retro energies. Out with the old and in with the New- under 2, count ‘em Retrograde Planet’s Influences-

Mercury and Mars are the planets in question doing the backward rumba. Many people are aware of and fully cognizant about the detriments and joys of Mercury the Messengers Retrograde phases and its obvious effects on all communications. 2009 saw Venus Retrograde this year too, remember that? and a lovely Venus Mars Conjunction on June 21 at Mid Taurus.

MARS RETRO

Mars is Retrograde in Leo- see my article Mars retrograde for more on this subject. So all you Drama Kings & Queens, Leaders, Royalty, those who feel entitled of this world, {and everyone has LEO somewhere in their Natal Birth Charts} you’re off the throne for now, and for a good 7 months in total. Mars Retrograde gives the guys a break from the daily grind, breadwinner, rat race scenario and urges them to put down their guns, let down their {Samson} hair, put their tired feet up and stop being HERO’s for awhile and Relax, reflect, re-act, reform, re-late, rest, all those nice Rx Prescriptions that All Retrograde backwards motion planets do.

Never mind Metrosexuals, this gives the guys the chance to be RETROSEXUALS. An opportunity to recreate the Archetype of the Masculine. Is he the Wild Man, the shaman, the father, the wise man, the thinker, the cad, the tycoon, gangstah, business guy, geek?

Hopefully we’ll have enough time to figure out how to turn testosterone into some kind of useful fuel for something better than fighting and cussing and making wars into something more life enhancing and positive. Yah we need the ying yang, I know, but wanton killing for political power and pure ego trips ain’t gonna make it these days.

 THE PLANeTS, TELL YOU how to plan it – STAY SOBER!!!!

Planetary wise, this is a heavily squared ordinary full moon if it was an ordinary full moon but it ain’t. Saturn the Lord and Planetary ruler of those 5 aforementioned Planets, Sun and Node, is Square {a 90 degree, get your ass moving aspect} to all of them from his current position in Libra the Sign of Holding the Opposition of the Duality, saying lets all co-operate here, but through a hard, but socially gracious looking “nice” Libran kick to those infamous Capricorn knees.

Mr. Saturn is also giving La Luna a tough square dance kind ‘o thing time too, [90 degree angle} because of course she is directly opposite the Sun and connected to the South Node in Cancer, which is why this eclipse can occur in the first place.

Saturn in Libra Square the Moon in Cancer is a SOBERING kind of E-Motional Reality check.

Be advised not to over drink or be forewarned you’ll be crying into your beer/champagne flute well before midnight, over dear old Mom or Dad {Saturn reps the Father} and the bitter divorce, or long forgotten memories of Her or His neglect/abuse of you, or singing along with I’ve got Tears in my ears and the Song of the Night is Most definitely BLUE MOON.

And Dear old ARIES Lord of War, aka Mars Retro or no retro is Opposing Chiron, the wounded healer, and Neptune and maybe a wide angle to Jupiter all in Aquarius of course.

We’re temporarily experience an off the hook from the Saturn Uranus opposition but that will resume shortly.

WISHING YOU A SUPER HAPPY BLUE NEW YEAR

Heads up for the BIG SOLAR Eclipse Jan 14 –15th the same day Mercury turns direct.

Jupiter enters Pisces Jan 17th.

We’re moving into the Year of the Tiger in the Chinese calendar.

More sooner….

News predictions for 2010                            DECEMBER 27, 2009

By MIKE STROBEL, QMI Agency
The Toronto Sun

TORONTO – Tiger Woods will be glad to read this:

War in Iran! Nuclear bomb in Chicago! Tsunami ravages India! Quake flattens Frisco! Yellowstone explodes! Drought in the Deep South!

Just some of the cheery predictions from tarot queen Tara Greene.

Whew, eh, Tiger? Finally, we’ll have something else to talk about.

Unless Mr. Woods has bimbo explosions awaiting in Iran, Chicago, India, Frisco, Yellowstone or Alabama.

You know, if I’d listened to Anthony Carr, the World’s Most Documented Psychic, I’d have told you a year ago that Tiger was headed for heavy rough.

That he would be “publicly humiliated when steel balls, cleverly disguised in his driver to ensure extra power, are uncovered,” as Tony wrote in his Stargazer — Predictions and Prophecies.

Okay, the details are slightly off-line, but …

“Following this, the only long drives he’ll make will be in his car — to the countryside, trying to escape the embarrassment.”

Not bad, eh? And you thought fortune-telling was a farce.

On the other hand, Tony picked St. Louis Cardinals to take the World Series. Win some, lose some.

Nikki, Psychic to the Stars, who rounds out my annual seer trio, told me the Loch Ness monster would be captured. And Jennifer Aniston would have a child — other than John Mayer, I mean.

Neither has happened — though five days are left in 2009.

But, Nikki reminds me, she also foresaw Sarah Palin’s tell-all book, Robin Williams’ health problems, plus the deaths of Ted Kennedy, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson.

A few things she expects in 2010:

Giant bats will attack a city in South America. I assume she means furry, flying blood-suckers, not Louisville Sluggers. The next World Baseball Classic is still three years away.

Meanwhile: Terrorist attacks in Germany, British Columbia, and California. A fire on Broadway. A famous castle burns down. Trouble on the moon. Avalanche at Whistler. Worldwide power blackout. Oil spill destroys the Mississippi. Cripes, anything good, Nikki?

“Breakthrough in diabetes.” That’s more like it.

The lost city of Atlantis is found. Before Osama bin Laden? Or maybe that’s where he’s been hiding.

New mummies are uncovered in Egypt. Which reminds me. I predict more Moonlight Ladies in 2010.

Now, back to the divining Ms. Greene. What sayeth the tarot, Tara? Aside from the catastrophes in the second paragraph.

“Osama bin Laden dies from health issues.” Well, a black, twisted heart will do that to you. You mentioned a nuke?

She sees “a small nuclear bomb in a suitcase, in a major skyscraper in Chicago or New York, or both.

“Much devastation, loss of life, crop failures, riots.”

In fact, Tara expects “revolution, uprisings and riots throughout the U.S.

“People ain’t gonna take it anymore.”

I hear you, sister. Reality TV is starting to piss me off, too.

Still on Hollywood: Jack Nicholson should see a doctor. George Clooney will get engaged. Brangelina is pregnant again.

“More falls from high places for public figures. Who’s left? Who cares?”

Not us. We’ll be too busy battling tsunamis, earthquakes, riots and nuclear bombs.

And disease.

“A kind of fruit fly carries a new virus from South America.”

Oh, great. The Fruit Fly Flu. Headline writers will go crazy.

On the upside, Tara says, there’ll be a cancer breakthrough and liver cloning will lead to the first bionic humans.

Expect cheap new energy sources — from spontaneous combustion. Also, UFO sightings will increase. A coincidence?

And here’s a scary one:

Kids will unite their brainwaves to alter the thoughts of parents, teachers and world leaders to make the world saner.

Naw. We tried that in the ’70s. All we got was big hair, feminists and disco.

What about the Super Bowl, Tara?

“Dallas Cowboys will win — and I don’t even follow sports.”

Over to you, World’s Most Documented Psychic.

“President Obama is caught in flagrante delicto with both Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton.”

C’mon, Tony, get serious.

“Prince Charles turns his back on the British crown for emotional reasons. Prince Andrew ascends.”

Andrew!!?? Please, not Andrew!!!

“Fidel Castro finally keels over.”

Have a cigar.

“Killer wasps invade the White House.”

Yes, some WASPS still aren’t keen on a black president.

“Stephen Harper wins four terms … and I’m not even a conservative.

“But the next prime minister is a woman.”

Excellent. Maybe now, Tiger Woods will play the Canadian Open.

MARS  goes retrograde in Leo – Sign of Kings and royalty   DECEMBER 20 2009 

 Mars turns Direct Motion -March 10, 2010 

Mars Attacks!… like Tiger woods,.. the Queen, the Pope… 

On Oct 17  this year Mars entered Zero degrees of Leo of its own shadow phases where he will appears to move forwards then backwards then forwards from. 

I believe we have alrady seen the foreshadowing of  Mars in Leo- with the Tiger woods scandals- too much libido- and off with your head!!! 

 Mars is all about action. It’s the male libido, the life force, energy. Mars rules the motor nerves, ladder and adrenal glands, the head and face, red blood corpuscles. 

Mars is the energy that helps you go for it, win that race, it’s all out there, extraverted, aggressive, competitive, anger, war like, defensive. 

Every 2 years Mars decide he needs an R & R period, and he goes retrograde. You should be aware by now of the effects of Mercury Retrogrades and the recent Venus Retrograde experienced this past spring. So what happens when Mars goes Retrograde?  

 It’s like.. there ain’t no viagra anywhere to be found. 

LEO’s motto is  I WILL! Mars Retrograde in Leo –is I WON’T.  

 I Want a slow hand.. would be appropriate music. 

 SLOW DOWN, REST, put down your guns, stage a Bed in like John and Yoko to protest War. 

 Eat molasses. Go on a Macrobiotic diet or become a Vegan- less aggressive. 

Learn how to dance the waltz. Practice moving in slow motion. 

 It’s like -Do not pass Go! Everything comes to a big grinding halt! All that extraverted energy goes underground, can be vindictive, secretive, calculating and covert, can become self-destructive akin to underground mines. 

All things happen for a beneficial reason, so lets look at how we can use Mars retrograde in a highly life enhancing way. 

 With Saturn in Libra urging us to balance out everything we do, Mars Retrograde makes a perfect compliment as the Martial energy is held back, instead of impulsively jumping into the fray, we weigh out our options in a more clarified well thought out way. Its more Taoist Art of War, never wasting any energy, conserving, balancing, harmonizing. Instead of haste making waste, pausing makes growth. 

Mars will turn retro in Leo on December 20th just before the Winter Solstice, when the Sun, ruler of the Sign Leo enters the zero degree of Capricorn Cardinal point we were talking about earlier.  That section of your Natal Astrology chart where Mars is going retrograde is likely where you will feel the most inertia before the retrograde starts. Loss of recent gains, or rehashing of plans will happen during the retro mars phase. 

Your energy will be lower. You will be entertaining thought so why bother to try so hard? Questioning what that EGO thing is that drives you so hard, and for what?   

I think this Mars Retro is so aptly and Cosmically timed right now. This is just what the Dr. ordered! 

Our collective karma is being weighed, the culprit, the major Duomo THE EGO- this is Leo remember, is deflated, seen for its false super shiny, glamorous selfish, insecure scared self. 

 Everything Martial, the army, war, men, competition, boxing, fighting, explosives,And everything Under Leo’s domain- leaders, stars as in Hollywood, media,Children, drama, self-expression, will power, Generals, the queen, the Pope, assassins, terrorists. Arsonists, will power. All of these matters will be Re-considered, reflected upon, reviewed, renounced, reformed, Realigned, re-assessed. 

 Everything will slow down, its as if the world will be feeling a large Intermission on the collective world stage of Life, and all the actors and actresses are sitting in their dressing rooms, rethinking their roles, their whys, with the ability to question and detach from the play itself and se it for what it is. 

 Mars Retro gives you time, a very precious commodity. Slow down and breathe, appreciate the now, no need to go faster.  Complete old projects. Enjoy the now. The wheels of progress grind to a slow halt. Life becomes simpler, less rushed, simpler. Leo types may be grump and out of their element trying to stir up the old drama games, but not many takers. 

Mars goes Retro Dec 20 @ 19 degrees of Leo 42 mins. The Sabian Symbol for that is Leo @ 19 degrees. “ A houseboat party!” Describes a bohemian, entertaining, free flowing energies, escape from routine activities.   

Mars Turns Direct March 10, 2010 @ Zero degrees Leo19 minutes.The Sabian Symbol for that Zero degree of Leo is “Blood rushes to a man’s head as his vital energies are mobilized under the spur of ambition.” Describes a fiery kindling, of Solar Fire, into the Head. At its most spiritual this is a soul/solar realization, a Solar Logos awakening. 

 Mars enters the retrograde Shadow {a foreshadowing of the later Direct station} on October 17th 2009 at 00 degrees of Leo 19 minutes. 

 Mars totally leaves the Retrograde shadow where he first stopped and went retrograde { 19 degrees Leo } on Dec 20 2009, on May 17, 2010. 

and that’s 7 months spent in the chrysalis stage. 

the queen may indeed step down from the throne. A scandal will rock Rome and the Pope involving more child abuse. Shame shame shame. 

  

 

Today was a very big day with a very rare, not like a steak,more like an ultra fine cosmic big glass of the finest wine with a haunting aftertaste, bitter sweet a.k.a. Jupiter  Chiron Neptune Conjunction or 

J.C. N. C. 

THIS VERY RARE EVENT – some say it is 2,900 years since the last such occurance of all 3 planets .  Jupiter and Neptune coincide once every 12 years, Chiron is a comet and has a 50 year eliptical orbit, discovered on Nov 1,  1977  the  cosmic wanderer symbolizes the Wounded Healer -a centaur, so there is a simila to Sagittarius energy, but he is considered to rule the Sign of Virgo, the Sign most concerned with health, healing service to ohers. 

Chiron is half mortal half human, Jupiter / Zeus helped him, he was rejected by his Mother and became a great healer of the Gods and heroes of Ancient Greece but he himsel  had a wound that he could not heal and gave up his Immortality to die and release the pain, he was them immortalizes for his great help and skills.  Chiron is a very powerfull Archetypal energy, we all come into this life wounded, it is part of the journey what we need to heal in our lives. 

And to make it more interesting and more powerfull 

Were you born between Sept 1954 and Feb 1955? Between July and September 1966? Between Feb and August 1956? If you are then the May 2009 Neptune-Jupiter Chiron conjunction will be within 2 degrees of exact opposition to your natal Pluto! and that’s soulful stuff added to the mix, that’ll get to the roots of Hades and what ails ye! 

Chiron and Neptune do not form their exact conjunction until February 17, 2010, but they are virtually conjunct each other when Jupiter conjoins Neptune on May 27, 2009 at 26°29′ of Aquarius.  Chiron at 26°14′ of Aquarius on that day is a mere minutes away. Two days later Neptune goes retrograde on May 29 and Chiron goes retrograde on May 30, which means both are moving almost stationaryand  considered to be extra powerful before they both go Retro  during that week of the Jupiter-Neptune conjunction. 

3 STages of this unfoldment- 

First Jupiter-Neptune Conjunction in Aquarius with Chiron occurs on May 27 (Jupiter-Neptune-Chiron at 26 degrees) , 

July 10 (Jupiter-Neptune at 26 degrees with Chiron at 25 degrees and the Moon at 20 degrees) 

December 21 (Jupiter-Neptune at 24 degrees with the Moon and Chiron at 22 degrees! 

Dec 21st also being Winter Solstice and marking only 3 short years to the BIG ONE  Dec 21, 2012! 

I really feel that this Alignment is the peek into the Future, where we go to look around the corners of reality, As always there is a high and a low side. 

Neptune the planet of DEBT,CREDIT CARDS, as well as Higher Love, Soul Mates, Fantasy, Delusion, Illusion, Drugs, Escapism, Addictions, institutons, oil, prisons { Pisces} Bliss, Spirit, Oneness, Cosmic, Ashrams, endings, Romance, artistry, drama, karma conjuncts with 

JUPITER -largest planet of them all-OK so now we know he’s all hot air and a big gas bag, that’s Yahweh, Zeus,Santa Claus, happy, optimistic, the proverbial “red rubber ball of the Zodiac” ruler of Sign of Sagittarius-the archer, truth seeker, philosopher, metaphysician, centaur, gypsy, religion, judgements,higher learning, the Master Teachers live on Jup! a ambler, a James Bond type, a hunter, loves the chase, inspiring, I’m one of those- 

also rules the Sign of Pisces- the last of all the signs. the ending Omega and the beginning Alpha, PIsces 12th house, confinement, imagination, Bliss, spirit, compassiuon, martyrdom, illusion, fantasy, drama, darma, you read it right, karma, charmeleon, didn’t Boy George  have a hit osng called that? I wonder if he’s a Pisces? OIL, 

Hey didn’t we just read this list? Yes, Jupiter and Neptune co-rule the Sign of Pisces. Jupiter is the Ancient ruler of Pisces and sagittarius becuase in the old tradition and in the current old ancient Vedic Tradition of Astrology in India, there were only 7  known planets used and these relat to the 7 chakras, and only the Sun and the Moon each had rulership of one sign only. 

The Sun- rules Leo, 5th house 

The Moon- rules Cancer, 4th house 

and all the other known planets ruled both a Masculine and a Feminine sign which is altogether much more balanced whole, yn yang, It just goes to show you how imbalanced technology has gotten us. 

Mercury rules Masculine Air Sign Gemini & Feminine Earth Sign Virgo 

Venus rules Feminine Earth Sign Taurus & Masculine Air Sign Libra 

Mars rules Masculine Fires Sign Aries & Feminine Water Sign Scorpio 

Jupiter rules Masculine Fire Sign Sagitta & Feminine Water Sign Pisces 

Saturn rules Feminine Earth Sign Capricorn & Masculine Air Sign Aquarius 

The newly dicovered outer Planets 

Uranus is said to be a Higher Octave of Mercury and rules Aquarius 

 Neptune is said to be a Higher Octave of Venus and ruler of Pisces 

Pluto is said to be a Higher Octave of Mars and rules Scorpio

If you’ve been biting your nails and keeping those midnight fires burning pouring over all those numbers, sorting through receipts, trying to remember just what you did last year, what you can write off or not, well your deadline approaches Thursday at midnight. The end is in sight, no more thinking about all that and dealing with your accountant for a whole year again, whewh, for most of us.

Mercury also enters Gemini that day the 30th of April at 3:29 pm PDT/ 6:29 pm EDT/ 11:29 pm GMT it’s home territory, but, not for long, Mercury-the messenger, the hermaphrodite, that fleet footed communication, computers, consciousness ruler is exiting stage left, that is backing out of the driveway on May 6th @ 9:55 pm PDT/ May 7th @ 12:55 am EDT/May 7th 4:54 am GMT for it’s 2nd time this year.

A BUMPER CROP YEAR of CeleSTIAL PHENOMEna  THIS YEAR

This is a bumper crop year for Retrogrades this year , 4 mERCURY Retrograde periods this year, usually there’s 3. Venus and  Mars both take a spin and there are additional Eclipses USUALLY 2 SOLAR AND 2 Lunar

this year-2 Solar and 4 lunar eclipses!

MERCURY BACK TO TAURUS- WHAT’S HE THINKIN?

Heading from home territory back to Taurus turf,I guess Mercury in his usual unable to make up his mind, forgot his clothes, I-Pod, a favourite desert dish, to smell the roses, liked lazing around in bed for a change because what with the Internet Mercury’s working waaay overtime but of course he loves it! needed to think about making money what with people’s consciousness of the Economy these days, write a song, etc.

Anyways thinking should be more practical,grounded, earthy, sensual, while Mercury hoofs his way through Taurus territory-that’s May 6th until MAY 30th when he stops and turns direct again, and then things start to go forwards.

THE STOCK MARKET

Will it be a BULL market?  Seems likely,as Mercury just spent almost 3 weeks in Taurus already bringing that dismal March stock exchange up since April 9th. But temporary, food prices up, possibly mad cow disease rearing its ugly head again, swine flus, animal diseases coming up in the news. Try becoming a vegan, Mercury retro means changing reversing all the usual trends. I forewarn you to expect the usual snafus, computer viruses, miscommunications etc., It’ll take until June 16th till Mercury gets back up to 1 degree 45 mins where he last turned direct so in fact not much moving forwards till then.

So whatever you thought you missed, glossed over, didn’t say or do,  regretted should be revisited with a clearer review and intentions in mind.  We’re all getting a repreive, another Re-tro word and Spring is finally here so take this Mercury Retrograde in Taurus time to let your brain have a rest, this gives us all time to get grounded in our thinking, be practical, enjoy life in all its sensual power and beauty, refuse to be bossed around, there’s more important things to do like revel- another of those re words in natures abundance, sip fine wines, enjoy the feelof the sun and spring breezes on our bare skin.

MOTHERS DAY MAY 10th  RETROGRADE  MOM’S DAY -

What does this mean? All things old will be new again, think gingham, apple pie, traditional, apple cider, home cookin’, sock mending,roast beef dinner on Sunday, pot roast, sausages, hey-what happened to that vegan idea? -turnips,kraft dinner, cheeze whiz, spam, Goodwill shopping, crocheting, needlepoint, pancake brunches, etc. O.K. i’m overdoing this a bit. Mercury is still in Gemini so…

The Moon will be in Sagittarius on Mom’s Day meaning that the emotional tone, the “planet” that rules women on  this special Women’s day  will be firey, gypsy-ish, she wants to travel, see exotic new things, be philosophical, get her some new books to read, enroll her in a new course on meditation or yoga, take Mom out to eat something she’s never tried before, and definitely most definitely take Mom to have her Tarot cards read!
