Astrology Updates & More for March 26-April Fool’s Day

 

Lunar Nodes & Uranus conjunct points the way to Big Changes this week!

It’s not some kinky sex thing

The Great Mother Archetype gets hyper- boosted into Consciousness + please note gravely important attached from Swami Beyondananda 

A relatively quiet week-not!

No planets changing signs except for the Moon of course and no significant Sun-Moon aspects. Don’t we need a breather?

But get ready for a huge change and boost in consciousness this week as there is a highly significant aspect- a conjunction between Uranus the planet of revolution, breaking with tradition, and higher consciousness and the North Node of the Moon + Mercury on March 30th.  And then there’s April Fool’s Day. 

The Nodes-

We most commonly refer to the Moon’s nodes. But every planet has nodes too.  Let’s just stick to the Lunar Nodes here. The nodes are the two points in space where the Moon’s orbit intersects the Sun’s path through the Heavens-called the Ecliptic. The Sun moves in North or South declinations on the Ecliptic. There are 2 nodes, a North Node and it’s polar opposite point the South Node. These Nodes a.k.a the Dragon’s Head- North Node; and the Dragon’s Tail- South Node. In Vedic or Indian Astrology the North Node is called Rahu and the South Node Ketu. The Nodal Axes are considered to be “the axis of Fate.” But of course we know that we always have free will. 

Everyone has this Nodal Moon polarity in their charts somewhere.  In Vedic Astrology the Lunar Nodes are one of the most important points in a chart, representing karmic/re-incarnational aspects.  Most Western Astrologers now use the Lunar Nodes as a prime diagnostic tool.  Renowned Astrologer Noel Tyl interprets the Lunar Nodes as symbolizing the Moon’s {Female} intersection {nod.nod, wink, wink} with the Sun’s male} apparent path around the Earth {the ecliptic} means fertility, fecundity, ability to conceive- the Mother Archetype. 

In the Bigger Picture the, outside world, the North Node represents evolving events affecting everyone. The Nodal cycles last 18.6 years. The North Node is in Pisces, which it entered on June 18, 2006 where it will remain till Dec. 14, 2007 when it will shift, moving always Retrograde into Aquarius. Then the “dawning of the Age of Aquarius” takes off. 

So back to the Big Event on March 30th

The Uranus/North Node conjunct occurs at 16 degrees + 06’ of Pisces with Mercury one degree away in late afternoon EDT.  Uranus is the planet, which rules Sign Aquarius, an Air sign, symbolized by the Goddess outpouring water, which is consciousness, from the Heavens onto the Earth. She is pictured on the Tarot Trump of the Star #17.

Aquarius rules new inventions, humanitarian awareness, freedom and Higher Consciousness.. Mercury is of course the planet of the mind, communications itself. Uranus always promises a great awakening, a free wheeling roller coaster ride and always to expect the unexpected. With Mercury-mundane Consciousness + Uranus, Higher Consciousness we get the Double Whammy of a brave new world of inventive thinking and humanitarian inspired communications.

In Pisces we’ll be floating, walking on water, bathing in compassionate waters, tears and old issues will rise to the surface of our consciousnesses.

Breakthroughs in inventiveness towards our fellow humans; breakthroughs in Aquarian telecommunications operating in more humanitarian ways. The conjunction synchronizes perfectly with the launch of the seedcolletive’s  breakthrough in online community building and reforestation.  See-

http://www.seedcollective.org/SeedSite/Home.html launch online April 3nd.

Seedcollective turns your cell phone {or land line} into an arborists tool, generating funding for real trees to be planted in New Orleans on Earth Day April 22nd.  This is amazing! The seedcollective’s interactive cell phone and musically driven artistically aesthetic re-forestation experience, available online for the 1st time, is a breakthrough in creating eco-choice friendly environmentally responsible tech.  using a readily available tool used by multi-millions of users. The seed collective, based in Toronto, allows your cell phone to grow green exponentially, by participating in ecollaborating with people across North America. Yes, you can seed the forest for the trees. Participants will be able to download the tree image and music they have generated their computers. 
 
And expect literal breakthroughs in water, flooding, rising tides, tsunamis, scientific breakthroughs using water as an energy resource, the use of algae as a powerful fuel source, big changes in religion, Piscean territory, especially Catholicism, as Jesus’ birth was the beginning of the Age of Pisces- the fish  symbol., and surprising news from the Oceans- expect to hear sudden {not} unexpected news about the Gulf Stream’s ocean currents, which due to the fast melting of huge icebergs and rising levels of  too much fresh water in the Atlantic Ocean could suddenly stop the Gulf Stream’s warming waters which warm Northern Europe and parts of North America which could produce sudden higher cold temperatures, not to mention disrupting aquatic life. 

The North Node representing the Great Mother, the Divine Feminine Archetype brings Her energy full throttle forward into the collective {North Node} predominantly. We are already seeing this development. The Da Vinci code popularized the idea of Mary Magdalene as Jesus wife, humanizing Jesus; the recent reported tomb findings of Jesus family; the acceptance of woman as equal partners in all matters of life worldwide-should be an issue sparked by this conjunction-especially to feminine suppressive religions, Islam, etc. Hilary Clinton’s prospects look better after this Conjunction.

This Conjunction symbolizes the Ascendancy of the Divine Feminine; the inherent Divine in Women, which is a part of the Divine half in men as well, the anima, the Soul. 

The Divine Mother is alive, she walks the Earth, she nurtures, she protects, she loves, she relates, she births, she cries, she laughs, she bleeds, she feeds us all. She is US. She is the Great Goddess who was worshipped from time out of mind, as we are all Born of Woman. The Divine Feminine has innumerable Names and aspects.

As Demeter the ancient Greek Great Mother, she is the Earth Herself, and She can also refuse to co-operate with Life. As Kali, the Hindu Goddess of Destruction, who dances on the ego and brings Enlightenment, and to all her Dakinis, Goddesses, sky walkers, rainbow bringers, Spider Woman, White Buffalo Woman in the Native American Pantheon, Coatlique Goddess of Birth in the Central American religions, as Circe, Pandora, Hekate the Crone Mother, As Cybele, Kwan Yin in China, as both Mary’s in Christianity, as Durga, Shakti, Ix Chel the Mayan Lunar Goddess, as Brigit, Celtic Goddess, Chang Oh, Isis, Astarte, Diana, Inanna the Babylonian goddess, Mama Quilla, Peruvian Goddess, Maat the Egyptian Goddess of Truth, Kunti, etc. etc. Goddesses of a thousand names. This is a Double Whammy Mammy!  I’d walk a million miles for one of your smiles, my mammy,” sang old Al Jolson in The Jazz Singer, the first Talking Picture in 1926 {really he was one of my favorites as a kid}

NEWS FLASH-

Whilst I was writing this in the usual wee hours of the AM. I checked my inbox and received this from Swami Beyondananda-the Cosmic Comic-but his email is no see laughing matter-matter means Mother you know-

 

see other post

 

In terms of this news, Uranus might more likely mean Ur Ass and all of our asses literally, and some Fatefull North Nodal axis of evil power suddenly coming to Wake Us All Up, Big Time! Expect the Unexpected isn’t always the nicest of surprises.

A CALL TO ALL THE DIVINE WOMEN!

I am urging you to tout sweet rise up and show you’re power! Respond to that email. Contact Code Pink a Women’s Anti-War Group in the U.S. Write letters. Protest.  Don’t just shop-do something!

If all the women-and we’re over 50% of the World’s Pop. focused their energy on stopping the War-like the Trojan Women did-they refused to have sex with their mates-or visualize World Peace and a sudden Highest Spiritual North Node in Pisces/Uranian compassion awakening, I do believe that it would make a difference.

Call on the Hindu Goddess Durga.  Durga is an incarnation of Devi, the Mother Goddess, a unified symbol of all divine forces. Durga manifested when evil forces threatened the very existence of the Gods. To destroy those demons, all gods offered their radiance to Her creation and each formed part of Durga’s body. Durga’s name in Sanskrit a Holy Living Language means “invincible.” She rides a tiger and has multiple arms.

And co-incidentally I didn’t know this but in hearing the call and in doing research I found out that this is the 9 day period in the year of her worship!

Called Navratri: March 20 2007. The 9 nights of Mother Divine Durga

The most auspicious 9 day period of the year for mother Divine Durga. These 9 nights are the nights when all 9 powers {shakti} of Goddess Durga come out and receive the prayers from the devotee. The specialty of this period is that, good or bad, whatever you do, certainly results. She is worshipped at the beginning of summer and winter. Her worship as the Creative Mother is divided into a Trinity. Ist three days for worshipping Durga, who destroys impurities, next three days the Mother is adored as a giver of spiritual wealth, Lakshmi,the final set of three days is worshipping the mother as goddess of wisdom Saraswati.

Prayers, mantras to Durga

 

Aum

Aing Hring Kleeng

Chamundaye Vichchey

Aum

I used to chant Durga’s name, I learned this from a woman friend-

Hey Matta Durga, Hey Matta Durga, Hey Matta Durga,

Matta, Matta

 

I predict that all women, as the North Node collective symbolizes, take to the streets in typical Uranian revolutionary fashion to declare their connection to the Earth, the Great Mother of All of us, in collective Pisces, compassionate support for Her, All Life and  her children-that’s all of us.


Moon Cycles for This Week

-Void of Course Moons and Sign changes

When the Moon is in a Sign it absorbs and reflects the energies of that sign to us all. Moon changes signs every 2.5 days, and that’s why women are so moody.

When the Moon changes from one sign to the next, and when she has made her last aspects to a planet, these specific periods are called-“Void of course Moon.”They can last a few minutes, hours or days.

A “void of course Moon” time is a time of rest and reflection, not a good time to initiate new projects as empirical results have shown that things begun during a V.O. C.Moon don’t bear fruit. Forewarned is forbearance.

March 26-Moon is at home in watery, Cancer

Void of Course Moon March 26th at  10:35 am EDT which lasts until

March 27 at 1:04 pm EDT Moon enters fiery Leo.

Moon goes Void on the 29th at 9:24 pm and lasts until

Moon enters Earthy Virgo a couple of hours later at 11:27 pm.

Moon goes V.O. C. on April Fool’s Day at 9:37 am

Moon enters Airy Relationship oriented Libra at 11: 43 am that day.

 

So hold onto your Moon hats and start practicing your rusty Moon Walk moves as your Moon boots are made for walkin.’

 

And don’t forget April Fool’s Day. The Fool in the Tarot is the First and the Last Trump and is the most powerful of them all. The Fool as Zero, naught, the great circle and round of Being, Wholeness, representing the Soul. The first time you have a Tarot reading and loose your Tarot Virgin status is when you embark on a remarkable journey to the wholeness of your Self. Be a Fool. Be trusting, innocent. The Fool symbolizes the rounds and rounds our soul’s have experienced in lifetime after lifetime. Hey, we’ve all been on this Merry Go Round, this Circle game, forever, so what’s to worry about? What’s the worst that could happen? You’ve already experienced a hell of a lot already. Take a risk, step off that cliff, be like a child, innocent, expecting the best, happy an amazed to be alive! I always wear my symbolic Wise Fool’s Hat whenever I read the sacred knowledge inherent in the Tarot.  It’ll be a Libran April Fool’s Day, so go out there and be foolish with some of your buddies.  Don’t be afraid to step off that cliff.

V.I.P. notice from Swami Beyond/u.S. attack on Iran

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mutually Assured Survival Or Mutually Assured Destruction? The Jewry is Still Out

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

by Steve Bhaerman

Last year during one of my comedy performances, someone asked the Swami, “What do you think about AIPAC?”

The Swami — being the Swami — answered, “AIPAC? I don’t know about AIPAC. I’m more into Deepak. And Tupac. Gimme Deepak, Tupac and a six-pack, and you can keep your AIPAC.”

Well, the audience liked the answer, but my serious side wasn’t satisfied. I’d been hearing disparaging remarks about AIPAC, which stands for American Israel Public Affairs Committee, but I had dismissed them as fringy, anti-semitic fulminations. The more I’ve read since then, however, the more I realize that this organization — supported by many well-meaning Jewish people because it is “pro-Israel” — is really a neocon front that hardly represents the majority of the Jewish people, let alone the people of Israel.

Just as George Bush and company have tried to pull the “you’re either with us or against us” wool over our eyes, AIPAC and its posse define anti-semitism as any questioning of Israeli’s policies no matter how questionable. They’ve tried to silence non-Jewish critics with the anti-semitic smear, and Jewish ones by calling them “self-hating Jews.” As a Jewish American, I have come to the sad and disturbing conclusion that AIPAC is why we’re still in Iraq and why we are now set to attack Iran. You’ve only to look at the news story about the recent AIPAC conference and the unenthusiastic response Nancy Pelosi received for not being sufficiently pro-war. Opening our eyes to AIPAC’s power and influence makes it easier to understand why Congressional Democrats backed off of their stand to make an attack on Iran contingent on the approval of Congress.

As the world seems to be hurtling toward that self-fulfilling prophecy called “armageddon,” the forces of fear and destruction seem to be polarizing to either side, each desperately trying to make sure that their evildoers will be able to out evil-do the evildoers on the other side. I like to consider myself a realist. As the old saying goes, “Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean there isn’t someone following you.” So — just because our Middle East policies are fear-driven, greed-driven, misguided, obsolete and dangerous — doesn’t mean that there aren’t toxic Islamic forces hell-bent on the destruction of Israel.

Try to imagine what it must feel like to know that the enemy that has vowed to destroy you has the power to launch weapons of mass destruction. Feel that, and you can empathize with civilians in Israel — and Iran.

For in their fear for their own lives and destruction, many Israelis feel resigned to preemptively doing the same to the Iranians. Same old “us or them.”

From M.A.D. to Madder For nearly 45 years, the Cold War was kept on ice because of an eerie Strangelovian concept called “Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD).” With both the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. overarmed to teeth, if any one side pushed the button, both sides would assuredly perish. Whether it was that delicate balance of power and fear or some other form of divine grace, no button was pushed and we are still here to be grateful.

But there is no such balance of power today. As the last superpower standing after the fall of the Soviet Union, the United States has super-abused its superpowers. Instead of following the advice of former Senator Gary Hart and treating terrorist cells like a criminal gang instead of a military force, we have squandered any good will we might have had left and have shown the entire world that we’re not in the Middle East to keep the peace, we’re there to keep the pieces. Of course, this is not the intent of the majority of Americans, nor is it the intent of the majority of Israelis. However with the neocons in control of both countries — and with AIPAC successfully muzzling most dissent against Israeli policies, or marginalizing it as “anti-semitic” — our two countries together are drawing the battle lines for an insane and unnecessary world war that will lead to countless deaths, not to mention irreparable ecologic harm.

Here’s how the real balance of power stacks up. On one side, we have the “kill or be killed,” “dominate or be dominated” world view, the one that has persisted for thousands of years and brought the world to the brink of destruction. Everything about this side sounds rational at first hearing because we humans habitually associate “normal” with “sane.” But rationality has been replaced with rationalization, which goes something like this: The world is a bad place. It’s always been that way, and always will be. We have to protect ourselves. We sincerely regret any unnecessary deaths — of course, we will only do “surgical strikes” designed not to harm civilians, and besides those people hate us anyway.

Under this umbrella of self-protection, any violation of human rights, human decency, rule of law and morality is permitted as long as it can be rationalized as a “necessary evil.” Even better if it can be done in secret and can be officially denied. That way, there can be the illusion of democracy, justice and living by spiritual principles. Of course anything built on a foundation of lies is destined to crumble and that accounts for the disheartenment both in America and Israel. The “self-protection” clause also means you can buddy up with “allies” who violate the very essence of who you are and who you believe yourself to be.

Check out this audio recording featuring Rev. John Hagee’s speech at this spring’s AIPAC conference. In fact, check out all the speeches, but particularly Rev. Hagee’s whose intolerant beliefs are now tolerable because he supports Israel and in fact has asserted that the Book of Esther predicts the very attack on Iran that is soon to be launched. But hey, this is about self-preservation so it really doesn’t matter which devils you sleep with, as long as they’re on your side now.

That’s one world view, the one that is considered “mainstream” in our society, despite any “naive” moral objections the rest of us may have.

There’s a second world view, however, the same one put forth by spiritual teachers from Buddha to Jesus, and is at the bottom of every religion once the bullshit is boiled away. That world view insists that there is such a thing as a common humanity, and we are all in it together. It seems to be contrary to the “evidence,” because if you look at human history — well, it’s more like inhuman history. However, when you consider how this evidence has been spun and is being spun, and how war is used to justify more war, it’s easier to see how 80% to 90% of us get manipulated by a small group of manipulators who know how to press the buttons marked “fear” “survival” “patriotism” and “tribal loyalty.”

This alternative world view that we’re all in it together is the foundation of mutually-assured survival rather than the deadly alternative. It also reflects the heart essence of Judaism, Tikkun Olam — the healing of the world. This notion of bringing healing to this world is in direct contradiction of Rev. Hagee, who subscribes to the “We’re going to heaven and everyone else can go to hell” insanity.

Which brings us — finally — to the purpose of this email. My friend Diane Perlman, a political psychologist and activist has formed a new organization, JAIPAC (Jewish Analysts Investigating Peace and Conflict), and has written a compelling letter under the title: The New Pro-Israel, Mutually Assured Survival. There are indeed real problems and real conflicts in the Middle East, and Diane turns her wisdom and experience towards alternative ways of addressing them — instead of doing what we’ve always done and being surprised when things are like they’ve always been, only worse. Please read and circulate this letter.

Can We Stop the Ticking Toxin in Time? Reports from Soviet intelligence say that the United States plans to bomb Iran on April 6th, less than ten days from now. Was the information purposely released to give the Iranian government one more chance to drop the program? Was it released by the Soviets to alert the world? Is it a bluff? We don’t know. We do know that this Administration is in deep trouble and has demonstrated that it will do anything — anything — to promote its own survival. An escalation of the state of war could empower them to declare a martial law state of “emergency.” It would be risky for them, but then again their ass is just about grass anyway.

The purpose of prediction isn’t panic, but prevention. I contend that had the voting fraud story not broken through the “soundless barrier” via RFK, Jr.’s Rolling Stone article last summer, people wouldn’t have been aware of it, and the election results would have been different. Say what you will about the worminess of the Democratic Party, Congressional investigations are now going forward that will necessitate impeachment. So I am putting this email out in the hopes of averting the possibility of the Iran attack.

I am hoping that Jewish people of conscience allow themselves to lift the lid on AIPAC and ask themselves if AIPAC represents their true values. Here is a link to the upcoming issue of New York Review of Books where George Soros — a key Democratic Party funder of Jewish heritage — takes on AIPAC. I wish there was some kind of concerted action that would make a difference in preempting this preemptive war. Perhaps the field of awakening will be enough, perhaps it won’t. Maybe there needs to be a letter-writing — real mail, not email — campaign to key members of Congress. Perhaps we need to follow the lead of former army Colonel Ann Wright who has urged the military to “refuse to drop bombs” if ordered to in Iran. The influence of the military cannot be underestimated at this time, particularly when we consider the loss of support for the current war on the part of troops in the field, not to mention the extraordinary editorials in all the official military publications the day before Election Day calling for Donald Rumsfeld’s resignation.

When I was a kid, one of the things that made me proudest of my heritage was the willingness of Jews to be a stand for the rights of all, not just Jewish people. You may remember that two of those three civil rights workers killed in Mississippi in 1964 were Jewish, but what you may not know is that the NAACP was co-founded by Joel Elias Spingarn, a Jew. These days, the cry of “never again” no longer means never again a holocaust for anyone, but “never again for the Jews.” This is an understandable nationalist sentiment, but it contradicts the spiritual foundation of Judaism.

This is a hugely challenging time for all peoples. How much easier it would be for a Messiah to come down and declare himself “the only Universal Law south of the Pleiedes,” or for the nasty machinations of empire to work their nastiness without our ever having to know about it. How much easier for us to immerse ourselves in reality TV so we don’t have to engage reality, or insist we “create our own reality” without coming to grips with the reality we all share.

As with every religion, there comes a time when we have to distinguish between the spiritual essence, and the distortion being used to keep the powers that be in power in power. Or, as some wit once said, “Spirituality is our relationship with the Divine. Religion is crowd control.” I hope this article and the connected links provide plenty of cognitive dissonance for both Jews and non-Jews alike. Which do we choose — mutually assured survival, or mutually assured destruction? Given the delicate balance of life on earth at this point, the zero-sum game of “me or you” may end up as a big zero for all humanity and an F in works and plays well with others.

P.S. I expect lots of letters telling me I’m a self-hating Jew (with plenty of evidence of how Israel is absolutely right and justified), and other letters accusing me of being a zionist (including tons of evidence of how Jews have been responsible for any and all evil since the beginning of history). Please spare me these. I’ve read plenty on both sides already. Please DO send me any links to organizations and actions designed to preempt the preemptive strike on Iran. These will be sent to this list later this week. Meanwhile, pray for healing even if you’re an atheist. As Swami says, “Who cares whether you believe in God? What really matters is, do you believe in Good?”

    March 27, 2007 Psychic Weather report

    Posted by ishkabibble under entertainment
    Leave a Comment 

    It’s suddenly summery here, as is usual in Toronto, the weather is unlimitedly changing.

    Toronto, the unlimited

    Does this have to do with Global Warming? I know so. It’s real. The traffic and the drivers in Toronto are something to behold. They need to take manners lessons.

    The Psychic Weather report:

    change is in the Air in many other ways. I woke up thinking about a dream I had. In it I was at someone else’s apartment or this was a new space I didn’t recognize. My husband and I left the place in a hurry to go to a river party, send off. We dashed out. We were standing on a promentory overlooking this lake or river and a number of famous and powerful people were in this boat which was launching. We threw confetti and champagne bottles burst open. They were all wearing party hats, very elaborate ones. As we waved goodbye to them all. I asked my husband if we’d remembered to lock the door. He said I thought you did it. So we flew back,literally to the original place and I found the door to be wide open, swinging on it’s hinges. I entered and looked around but everything seemed to be fine. The coffee tables, rugs, lamps, furniture were all there, and the windows were open overlooking the lake and a soft breeze was blowing in. All was safe.

    Name Destiny

    Then I thought about name destiny, which is something I’ve been aware of since I was a kid. Don’t you think it’s interesting that Ellen DeGeneres name means de-which is the prefix for “to take apart”, “away from,” “down from”, “reverse” or “negative”

    and Generes-which translates as generates, generation, related to offspring, children,or the generation, creation principle-and that she is a lesbian. Not that she couldn’t choose to have children herself, or with a partner, but it seems quite significant to me that her last name implies, “away from” generating offspring, the traditional female biological imperative. Another implied Name Destiny meaning is “to take apart” that which is generated in any context, and that she does through her humor. It also translates as degenerate which she isn’t and pronounced duh generous. And I think she is. I love comedy. Good for you Ellen.

    Psychic weather report March 22, 07 Survivor, cosmic lemonade

    Posted by ishkabibble under advice, astrology, entertainment, predictions
    Leave a Comment 

    Spring has sprung can’t you feel it? I know it’s autumn down under. All times are EDT.

    Heavy Week

    Mercury is in Pisces now since the New Moon Solar Eclipse of March 18th. Communications are more compassionate, flowing, spiritual, conscious, blissful.

    Pisces is the sign of endings, so what you began to finish, before Mercury went Retrograde on Feb. 13th @ 10 degrees 14 minutes of Pisces, is near ready to completely done dat, when Mercury catches up to its future past degree on the 28th of March.

    The New Astrological Year began on March 20th, at the Spring Equinox,

    March 19th Sun and Pluto had a dark square, into the abyss with you and my highly reputable sources say “Don’t avoid the void will ya.”

    March 22-Start squeezing those lemons-it’s that kind of day.

    Busy Moon makes stressful aspects to Fixed sign planets today squaring the 2 heavies and more, making a total of 3 count ‘em, squares to planets before noon!

    First Moon and Mars gives a bit of a rude awakening, although this aspect could also propell you out of sweet sensual Taurean dreams early at 7:15 am EDT. Then Moon squares Saturn less than a half hour, later-this puts a damper on the senses, and will likely burn your toast if not set your toaster on fire! Carry around a big fire extinguisher today. Then Moon then squares Neptune at 11:12 am. If you could call in “sick” today it would be better to just quit while ahead and go back to bed and use this one for exciting swashbuckling spiritual dreaming.

    More heavies: Mars opposite Saturn on March 22-highly stressed out. These are the 2 big baddies facing off here at 18 degrees+ of Aquarius-Leo respectively @ 3:34 pm. If you do dare to go out and about be careful when driving, using flame throwers, confronting the authorities, your boss, etc. Mars says go, just do it, and Saturn says stop, make sure you do it right. This is cosmic lemonade making in the offing. Mars rules actions and desires, that’s good, and Saturn governs discipline, patience, weight, maturity, so hard work pays off. But follow the rules, don’t argue with a cop today. You may be feeling very pressured right now. Saturn will test drive you to make sure you perfect it. Move forward steadily to your goal with confidence and focussed, warrior-like precision.

    As if you haven’t been tested, throttled, spaced out, attacked or just burnt your toast enough in one day, just to rub it in Moon quincunx’s Pluto at 9:21 pm. This is an ouchy aspect. Moon in Taurus and Pluto in Sagittarius, earth and fire don’t mix. Don’t take it personally, I’m not being an elemental-ist. The rub is between what we’re actually doing, creating, seeding, building and where our highest and deepest spiritual soul ‘n goals are.

    I would get to bed early and dream on it. Ask the Giver of Dreams to help you to touch Soul base, and get your mission. Oh yeah, and remember to intend that you will remember your dreams when you wake before dozing off.

    So, you’ve survived till later in the day? Moon enters light and breezy sign of Gemini late tonite, getting those dual processors in your head revved up, and enabling you to get a little breathing space and definitely lighten up your instincts from all that heavy mettle. at 11:06 pm EDT.

    Rainbow Meditation Vision

    This was the Vision

    A line of men and women of different races and colours standing facing each other and side by side a great long line of couples, stretching off into the distance.

    The men and women are standing eyes closed opposite each other meditating. From the tops of their heads streams a bridge of light comprised of the colours of the rainbow and of course of their chakras. They are each pair united from their crown chakras, their heads with this Rainbow Bridge of Light.

    I am shown that these men and women, the balance of the opposites, form and embody the Rainbow Bridge and that this is the vision of the 144,000 individuals needed to create,embody, hold and share the enlightened spiritual energy which is necessary to shift the consciousness of the whole world.

    This week starts off a series of 5 Trines-the best aspect-between Jupiter, planet of optimism and Saturn, planet of hard work, that will last till November 2008. Some people will be extremely lucky. Jupiter-Saturn is the perfect balance of Work Hard/ Play Hard.
    The Trines start in Fire signs Sagittarius and Leo and shift to Earth signs of Capricorn and Virgo next January. Mark this one in your calendars folks. This is an unusual 5 part series adding some stability to times that are Galactically explosive.
    BIG EVENT: Partial Solar Eclipse @ 28 degrees + of Pisces March 18th Squared by Pluto at the Galactic Centre
    Eclipses are always powerful times. A solar Eclipse interrupts old patterns and offers instructions for a new knowledge,and a higher level of understanding. We were just initiated into the Lunar Eclipse energy. This one should really rock our world because it’s extra significant due to a very strong and tough {sounds like Glad bags}

    Glad Garbage Bags- you’ll need ‘em

    Square from Pluto. Let me explain -demotion by a few astronomers doesn’t make a whit of difference to Pluto’s vibrational, Mythological and symbolic impact-in fact, methinks that Pluto, who the Greeks and Romans saw as a God, is pretty mad and you know he’s also the King of Spite and Revenge. So hold onto your hats, or rather, better to throw your hats into the ring.

    AND stock up on those Glad Trash Bags ready to throw your personal Trash out into- Extra Strong!

    This Eclipse will bring deep structural changes, not cosmetic surgery, especially in the Piscean realms- spiritual beliefs, the oceans, completions, secrets, hidden enemies, the arts, music, drugs and the pharmaceutical industries, institutions, and demarks big ending points-the end of the road and the forging of new beginnings. People will be re-examining the foundations of their spiritual beliefs and ideas about themselves Heads of state may be replaced very quickly over the next few months. An EClipse’s effects lasts 6 months to a year. Watch out Dubya.

    Eclipses affect areas ruled by Pisces:
    Alexandria, Egypt, {where the famous ancient Libraries of spiritual knowledge were kept}
    Calabria Italy,
    the Republic of Georgia,
    Anatloia, Turkey,
    Libya, Germany and France.

    It is said that eclipses are most effective when they are both visible in the place, and when that place is ruled by the sign in which the eclipse occurs. The eclipse will be partly visible in Asia, and the Arctic. The eclipse will be visible as far west as Saudi Arabia.

    Jupiter-Mr. Big is the ruler of this eclipse, he traditionally rules the sign of Pisces and of Sagittarius. Jupiter increases everything, for good and bad. According to the famous Classical Astrologer William Lilly, I’ve modernized his script- Jupiter multiplies all living creatures loved by man, and portends destruction to animals that are hurtful to man. Rivers swell, with big floods, ministers and religious men increase, laws are executed and upright judges are employed by the states, New customs or privileges are conferred on the people.

    Pluto is in Sagittarius, emphasizing the meaning of destruction to ministers, judges, flooding, and animals. With the Pisces emphasis I would be aware of much more mad cow type disease, viruses, danger from religious extremists using biological warfare,Regeneration of religious laws.

    What this means for you-

    Those who will be most powerfully and personally affected by this stunning Eclipse are people who have important planets, points and/or angles in their natal charts at 28 degrees of Mutable Signs- that is a 2 degree + and – either way from 28 degrees of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces. You have to know your chart. Anyone can type in their birth data and get a free chart on the web. Armed with the blueprint of your Natal Birth Chart you can see what’s what, but you need a qualified Astrologer to interpret your individual planets, aspects, angles, houses and what it means to you in your life and how this particular eclipse affects you personally. Mutable signs favour change.
    I can be your personal Astrologer and Guide.

    What goes around comes around-

    New Moons are new beginnings in cycles. Solar Eclipses are super new beginnings.Eclipses cycle around. Exactly 19 years ago March 18, 1988 there was a solar eclipse @ 27 + of Pisces, this one re-visits that same spot and this Eclipse opposes the recent Solar eclipse from September ’06 at 29+ degrees of Virgo, drawing out, balancing and polarizing our awareness since then.BR>

    A solar Eclipse in Pisces is a spiritual awakening, awakening us to our Source, our Oneness, our Unity within the Cosmos, our conscious awareness that there is no duality between spirit and matter, that everything is Divine. That this Eclipse falls again at the latest degrees of Pisces alerts us to the fact that this is both a Beginning and a Completion, especially in the Last Sign of the Zodiac. Pisces represents the end and the beginning of the infinite, eternal journey of creation. Pisces represents the direct experience of God/dess/the Great Mystery –full contact. Pisces is water, the emotions and especially the Universal heart of All, loving unconditionally, without ego, acceptance, knowing bliss. A Course in Miracles states that “When you want only love, you will see nothing else.”

    PLUTO at the last degree of Sagittarius, still within orb of the Galactic Centre, very closely squares the Sun and Moon. The Galactic Centre is the Heart of our whole Milky Way Galaxy. Many myths point to the fact that the Galactic Centre is the cross roads of the Soul in it’s journey into and departing from the world of materiality. The Galactic Centre is the Great Mother’s birthing place. Pluto transforms, also symbolically gives birth and brings death to all, Lord of the Underworld, Guide of Souls. We are getting the Double Whammy, “wham, bam, thank you ‘M’am” –David Bowie, from Suffragette City.

    Pluto unearths, makes visible the shadows, the Collective Unconscious, and his passage through the sign of Truth, Sacred Law, Judgments and the Master Teachers of Sagittarius since 1995 has so obviously been exacerbating the religious beliefs and extremism that block our way us from realizing our actual divinity, beyond man made laws and belief systems.

    This is a Super Powerful Eclipse-

    Coming from The Lord of the Underworld’s Galactic Centered Square to the Eclipsed Sun & Moon at this time signifies a HUGE conscious shift, a new beginning, a realization of Truth, Spiritual Significance, dying of judgmentalism.
    In the darkening of the Sun, the masculine daylight consciousness, by the Moon, the Feminine, seen at the Eclipse we are all Initiated into Her Lunar energies. The hidden, the shadows, memories, emotions, intuition, psychic energy, reflecting, the feeling Values of the Feminine, the Universal Unconscious, the womb, mother, dreams, become heightened and in ascension.

    THIS ECLIPSE OPENS THE WAY FOR A TOTALLY NEW WAY OF BEING- WASHING AWAY THE DROSS,
    -that we have been brainwashed for thousands of years by religious man made beliefs
    -that we have been expelled from the Garden of Eden, punished for being born, sinners at birth, need outside authorities to save, purify, that women are inherently evil, devoid of souls, that sex and the body is shameful, bad, wrong,
    -that we can kill others to defend our own religious man made BELIEFS.

    GET ALL THOSE GLAD BAGS OUT AND STUFF ‘EM FULL OF YOUR OWN POLLUTED TOXIC BELIEF SYSTEMS,JUDGMENTS, ON YOURSELF AND TOWARDS OTHERS.
    YOU’LL BE GLAD YOU DID!

    This Eclipse should really exacerbate our awareness that we are indubitably on the road to the momentous consciousness shift at the Winter Solstice of Dec. 21 2012.

    This Eclipse should highlight these issues:

    As Pisces is the Sign of COMPASSION and FORGIVENESS, as we integrate ourselves into the knowing and experience our own individual Divinity, we need to be able to Forgive and not Judge ourselves, for giving away our personal power to outside authorities.
    We need to see that this was a necessary step, and take responsibility for co-creating it, and at this point of awareness in our human/spiritual development to use and integrate these experiences to complete our Mission.
    If everyone simultaneous GOT IT! the world would change instantly. Those people, the laws, that we have allowed to dis-empower ourselves would be toast. The Church will fall; the dis-empowerment of Women is over, the government’s that use the ordinary little people to enrich themselves- ashes.

    In a sense this is Judgment Day. But not the one the Fundamentalist Christians are expecting. The Revelation will come like a pulp pop supermarket check out stand paper-

    Everything you were taught is a lie. No one, or religion is more special, privileged, chosen, or deserving than another. Judgments are a human man made thing. The Bible is a twisted, patriarchal, tale of killing, wars, punishments, created by humans to enslave other humans, and we have used that 1 book for over 2,000 years!
    Ultimately no one can save you except yourself. The reality is your own relationship to your own Soul and conscience and to that of the Great Mystery.

    In the Tarot the Trump 20, is traditionally called Judgment. In the Thoth Tarot deck, which I use, it was, in the ‘20’s renamed The Aeon, the New Age. Rather than the traditional Christian Apocalyptic vision of John, where the Angel Gabriel blows his trumpet and the Judgment begins, where those who are pure, rise from Death, this card shows a new child being born. The Apocalypse Signifies the Death of the Old order and structure. There is always a kernel of truth in all of these visions.

    The highest,un-manipulated side of John’s vision in Revelations is The New Jerusalem, Christ marrying his Bride and Full Christed Consciousness infusing the Earth. That is another way of saying acknowledgment of your own Divinity is being signified now, but it needs no allegiance to any Church, orthodoxy, or specific religion whether it be, Christianity, Judaism, Muslim,Jain, Hindu, Buddhist, Taoist, Ba’hai, Sufi unless those religious expression INCLUDE ALL. The key is always hidden in the truth. No religion or belief system, which judges others, is true.
    Many years ago at this same time of year I participated in “The Judgment Day Burlesque” at the former Ukrainian Legion Hall on Queen Street, {now an adult sex-club} which was a performance art piece contributed to by many artists. The brainchild of Tom Dean, I helped co-create this and performed as The Whore of Babylon.
    What was mildly blasphemous and way ahead of its time in theme, was a precursor to where we are exactly at right now. I think we have to look at this Judgment Day, concept, that day of release and absolution of sins as a vaudeville show, it’s mere entertainment,in the big play,on the Big Stage, we all call Life.

    We are also still in that Neptune/Saturn in Leo opposition too, Neptune ruler of Pisces helps us to balance Compassion against solidified ego and patriarchal leaded-ness.
    “They” the Big Super Ego Powers understand on some level that their time is at hand. Both planets are moving slowly right now, will each change direction in April and May and continue to dance in this opposition until the end of summer.

    Spring is only 2 days away!
    That this Eclipse occurs the day before spring on the 19th GMT underscores the celestial message that we are all ready for a new way of life.
    The Sabian symbol for 29 degrees of Pisces provides us a remarkable and beautiful image illustrating the illusion of separation.

    “Light breaking into many colors as it passes through a prism.”
    This symbols illustrates the Truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. As a prism separates light into many colours, each of us appears to manifest as a separate entity, but we are just different shades of the Totality. We are the Light.

    Meditation for this Eclipse

    Before the eclipse prepare yourself by having a bath, changing into ritual robes, or mutli-coloured ones for this occasion, sit in a quiet space at your alter, or with a group. Light a silver or white candle, annoint yourself with an aromatherapy oil that pleases and soothes you. Begin to focus and breathe deeply letting go of any stress.
    Begin to focus your mind on merging with Source.

    At the exact time of the Eclipse-

    10:43 pm EDT, 7:43 PM PDT,March 19th-3:43 AM GMT

    If you have a polished crystal or a prism, with a flashlight, watch how the Light breaks up into a rainbow of colors as it shines through. Really absorb your consciousness in this, observing how the appearance of the rainbow colors arises from the One Source of Light.
    This is a powerful metaphor.

    Become the Light, the Source, feel yourself shining, glowing, feel your self at-one with {atone} the Light. Bask in your own radiance! Delight in the Light! Know that you are the Source of all Life.

    Feel the beams of Light, the photons, waves, particles, neutrinos that you are. Feel your consciousness, the Light expand outwards in all directions, traveling at the speed of Light. Observe, and feel how your Light, when it comes in contact with the prism, a 3D crystal,effortlessly breaks through and breaks up, into many beautiful, colorful frequencies. The colors of the Rainbow are you,in variations, making many more possibilities! See the many colored being that you are, but know that all the colors are your essential Nature. Delight in your purples, reds, and ultra violets, your yellows, oranges, blues, and greens. Play with your own colors. Experience your Oneness through all the variations,and experiences that Life offers. Dance the colors of the Rainbow. Sound out the colors, the frequencies of each individual color. If you have paints, crayons, pastels, paint out the mulifluous colors. Rejoice, laugh, feel the energy of the Rainbow, you are the Rainbow, the many and the One.

    Take as much time as you like in this meditation. If it feels right to you, ask for guidance and listen with your heart’s ears and eyes for the answers.

    Give thanks to the Light within and without, above and below, give thanks to the Source of All Light.

    Astrology Week of Feb. 26-March 3

    Astrology Update Week of Feb 26-March 4th A VERY BIG WEEK! 

    Mercury backs up into Aquarius, Saturn-Neptune Opposition + a Total Eclipse of the MOON March 3rd

     

    Feb 26

    Mercury backs up into Aquarius at 10:00 pm EST. taking us back over our previously held thoughts where we may need to reinforce or re-consider recent decisions form a  new perspective.

     

    FEB 27th no major aspects.  Ahhh…

     

    MOON GOES VOID OF COURSE on the 27th at 1:03 am EST. Feb. 26 at 10:03 pm PST-Feb 28th at 6:29 am EST.

    Moon Goes V.O.C. on March 2nd at 2:02 pm EST- 4:32 pm the same day.

     

    Saturn & Neptune are forming the 2nd of 3 oppositions on Wed, Feb 28 occuring at 20 + of Leo-Aquarius at 7:05 am EST, 4:05 am PST, 12:05 pm GMT. This is a powerful and slow moving transit and its effects are felt a week before the precise hit, so we’ve all been under the influence already.

    Neptune planet of fogginess, dreamy, nebulous, spiritual, druggy, compassionate, addiction prone, ruler of oil and the oceans, film, photography, also sender of romance, rose coloured glasses, Higher octave of Venus, Divine Love, bliss, endings, institutions, the arts, and delusions about money, mystery, immateriality, psychic energy, karma {Neptune rules the Sign of Pisces and the 12 house of secrets}  and values.

    Saturn the god ‘ole cosmic cop, Father Time, the material world, structures, the Patriarchy, limitations, obstacles, corporations, old age, seniority, and senators, maturity, Karma, the taxman, worldly recognition, the bones and skeletal system, lead, restrictions,

    The government, discipline, patience, organizations, convention, theories and scientific law, the status quo, traditions.

     

    O.K. so in this corner we have Saturn, ruler of the material world, and Neptune, the transpersonal de-materializer. This is the “real” world vs. the spiritual world view.  Feb. 27th saw the Dow Jones fall 500 points and other world markets too were hit with 3- 7% declines. Sounds like that stand off from Sat-Nept. To me.

     

    Oppositions according to psychologist Carl Jung require a balance, not either or but a combining of the 2 oppositional forces. Actually there never really is any opposition, the duality is mearly a mirror of the same force, one +  positive one negative -.  Always 2 sides of the same coin.  Like a see-saw which stays horizontally balanced, we need to go for the fulcrum- The full crumb in order to get our tummies feeling satisfied.
