Google Yankee doodle Astrology of Dr. Robert Moog electronic music inventor by Tara Greene

May 23 2012 is the celebration of the 78th birthday of Doctor Robert Moog the inventor of electronic music with his new fangled electronic synthesizer patented in 1966 which was filed in October 1969.

It’s 43 years or a Uranus opposition to the time the Moog synthesizer was first patented.  

Dr. Moog worked with early electronic music pioneers John Cage, and Wendy Carlos  an American composer and electronic musician, whose recording in 1968, Switched-On Bach, music by J.S. Bach painstakingly assembled, phrase-by-phrase, on the Moog which was a new and unknown instrument. The album was awarded three Grammy Awards in 1969. He also worked with Rick Wakeman of YES,and  Keith Emmerson of Emmerson, Lake and Palmer fame amongst others.

 Lady GAGA and all of modern music would be nowhere without Dr. Robert‘s invention. 

Lets check out Dr. Moog’s Natal horoscope to see evidence or lack of his musical genius.

Born May 23  1934 in New York City I have no birth time so will use NOON time as birth always for a famous person.

All inventors are AQUARIUS types,

Dr. Moog has his NORTH NODE representing his highest spiritual goal at 13 degrees of Aquarius.

He also has SATURN, the builder, the architect, karma, the father principle, at 27 degrees of Aquarius  close to the position of the Fixed star

Fomalhaut aka Angel Gabriel- the one blowing the trumpet- music-the announcing angel. SATURN is the traditional ruler of AQUARIUS and so is very powerful. Dr. Moog is considered to be the chief builder and inventor of electronic music, the real founding father. That’s a perfect harmonious fit!

He had the Moon in Virgo it looks like on that day. Moon in Virgo people are very  focussed, analytical, perfectionist, practical, hard-working, detail oriented and doing the VIRGO thing of being of service to the world.

VENUS rules music. Venus is in what pioneering, forward thinking sign then? ARIES of course. VENUS in ARIES is the pioneer, the self motivated individual, the leader, the first, numero uno, chock up another one!

Venus rules the signs of  TAURUS and LIBRA

Dr. Robert had MARS in TAURUS -

TAURUS is the sign of  “I HAVE”.” As the first earth sign, it literally means I have my body, my hands, my senses, the resources, tools,money

 In a 2000 interview, Moog said “I’m an engineer. I see myself as a toolmaker and the musicians are my customers. They use my tools.”

So we see his MARS as  action principle, libido, drive, testosterone was ruled by VENUS and her love of music. It’s all about creativity.

Bob also had JUPITER planet of OPTIMISM, expansion, International connections,risk-takers, philanthropists,  leaders, in LIBRA

so VENUS rules JUPITER as well. Now Jupiter is Retrograde which means there is a karmic connection here.

I immediately thought that Dr. Moog was an ancient musician for many lifetimes, I say him wearing a Greek toga, playing a lyre and he worshipped Terpsichore the ancient GREEK GODDESS one of the nine MUSES of the Arts.

There is in fact an Asteroid named after Terpsichore and where is she in His natal Astrology chart?

At 28 degrees 49 minutes of VIRGO conjunct his MOON { his mother}.

Dr. Moog’s mom must have been playing music all the time when she was pregnant or sang. Or he had a very strong soulforce connection and new what his genius was. He was conscious since before birth I sense, of what Dr. James Hillman calls the Daemon,or Guardian Angel  which he wrote about in his best selling book THE SOUL’S CODE which I highly recommend.

Here’s the BEATLES singing Dr. Robert http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMHLrqKTOfA&feature=related

Dr. Moog had his SUN at 1 degree of Gemini, coincidentally close to the May 20th solar eclipse and MERCURY in GEMINI which is very strong in its home sign, plus Chiron at 4 and Asteroid Ceres conjunct the Sun. I bet Mr. Moog was a typical archetype genius but scatter-brained professor, very intelligent, very curious, very young, a great communicator.

NEPTUNE the “HIGHER OCTAVE” of VENUS is at 9 degrees of VIRGO, shows Mr. MOOG again as a symbol of a VENUSIAN, creative, diligent, hard-working, making NEPTUNE practical. NEPTUNE which rules spirit and all creative inspiration comes down to earth, is a useful time-saving VIRGO  tool.

Dr. Moog has URANUS the ruler of his North Node and SATURN at 29 degrees of ARIES,

indicating he was meant to be a very radical independent modern technology inventor, someone whose invention would bring freedom liberation, self-expression to. 29 degrees is also a critical or karmic degree,,,

He had PLUTO in CANCER conjunct LILLITH

in a square to Jupiter and VENUS and bringing in URANUS.

He must have had a lot of difficulty with women,or was attracted to very powerful women. I sense that the Moog synthesizer, the prototype of all modern electronic pop music, had this LILLITH driving energy coming through Moog’s Soul behind it. As if Lillith Herself instructed him from the unconscious or super conscience to create an instrument of radical freedom,modern liberation… exactly where would LADY GAGA be with Mr. Moog or Rhianna or any rapper?

Why did GOOGlE choose tohonor DR. MOOG’s birthday now? Well the planet MARS is exactly on his Natal NEPTUNE now at 9 degrees of VIRGO.

We hail you and thank you Dr. Robert MOOG for your new fangled in 1966 invention. You gave the world a great invention.

I’ll leave you with one of my faves of pop music YELLO -oooh yeah! with some good astrology symbols the moon the Sun! so beautiful OH YEAH!

Mother’s day, Elements of Mom,7 reasons why it’s a special day,Mom astrology advice from Tara Greene

Mother’s Day May 13 2012 is set to be one of the Brightest days of the year, a regular celestial Highlight, literally

one of the best from an Astrology perspective in 2012.

on many levels,so  healing. The planets do not impell us we are simply -inter-connected  in the web, by the invisible web.

By the numbers, 7 reasons why Mother’s day is so special

All the players are in All feminine signs: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn

we are clearly in a FEMININE INDUCTION here,

MARS is spending from Nov 11 2011 -July 3 2102 in VIRGO  

that’s about 8 months ,which equates to a premature birth from MARS as learning to serve the VIRGIN GODDESS VIRGO.

1. Sun Conjunct Jovial Jupiter,

in Taurus early a.m.- the best and the brightest let your BIG Light shine, optimism!

yes I never say this but DO buy a lottery ticket on this day, use your birth personality and soul numbers, don’t buy too man though, Jupiter indulges too much. BUY GOLD especially as it is falling as fast as a hot potato the last few days.

2. PISCES Moon conjuncts Neptune   -

This is as spiritual, blissed out and healing as one could imagine: Soo compassionate, this is the aspect to help you forgive your Mom for anything and everything, it will free you up. Mom angst,  let it go,

You don’t have to be a Cancer or have a Jewish Mother, to have Mom angst, we all do.

We are  most intimately connected with our mothers more than any other person on the earth, really! You were her,and she is you.

Hard to stomach, for some. A Cancer pun there, but true.

You have been part of your mother since she was being formed from her mother. You have felt every emotions every feeling she ever had, and her mother’s to, and her mother’s mother’s and on and on. This is a teaching from my Tibetan Buddhist /Western mysteries guru.  Accept that you are her, and you can shift, and you can love her and yourself. And truly individuate.

 Like Russian dolls, men have these  feeling locked in their unconscious too, it’s just the nature of this flesh and shadow show called life.

3. Mercury Trines Mars – Taurus to Virgo

another of those nice trines, between the embodied thought {Mercury in Taurus}  and the masculine who serves the Mother {Mars in Virgo} the feminine principle in Virgo.

4. Moon opposite Mars- Pisces to Virgo

here’s a great balance Pisces Moon, the most spiritual and compassionate opposite Mars { the masculine} in Virgo-

OK workaholics of the world, time to lay down your arms, not the warlike ones and stop being so nitpicky and your shadow critic mom,OK.

can’t you see it? also your Mother worked incredibly hard for you, that’s Mars in Virgo with total unconditional love that’s MOON IN PISCES! Bless her soul.

in China, Buddhists  worship the Unconditonal loving Mother as Qwan Yin

Also the new Archetype of Women or the mothering principle is awakening to its broader older pan worldly perspective.

 In the Hindu Pantheon she has many more faces, and arms.  Not limited to just the long suffering Mary, Mother of Jesus relegated to the background mainly, or the blamed and punished like EVE.. replacing LILLITH the totally independent original woman…

Mom’s are needing to evolve from being powerless, poor me, doormat  victim Mom’s { I have great compassion for anyone who is suffering} or over controlling neurotic Mom’s, and busy projecting Mom’s…into Mother’s who own their OWN power, Mother’s or the Feminine Principle with authentic power, strength and beauty, Mother Goddess‘ to be feared and adored. Mother Goddess who are whole and complete unto themselves, Virgin Goddesses. Power goddesses. Kick-ass Goddesses

Fearless Warrior’s of Love Goddesses, like…

 KALI they call her KALI MA in India,

KALI- garland of sevred bloody heads are symbols of the ego she so fearlessly destroys. You need her strength,

or DURGA the great Goddess who disciplines the unruly wild Gods, as she oh so fashionably rides her white Tiger,

Isn’t she beautiful? Commanding an destroying the evil forces, she was the ONLY ONE and the last one who put a stop to the destruction of the world.

5. & 6.   The Pisces Moon dances with the stars, trips the light fantastic with Mercury and Pluto in two sextiles,

an EAZY aspect, the glyph looks like a STAR *

Wow the unconscious, the karma of a Pisces Moon gets easy over’d from embodied mins { mercury in Taurus} as well as  Pluto in Capricorn- Lord of the Underworld, who grabbed Persephone taking her away from her Mother Demeter and thereby initiating her into her own individuality and sexuality.

And LAst but Not least

7. that amazing Pisces Moon who does so much for all of us and never asks for aught in return just like a real Positive Mother,

gives total unconditional love and total healing through its’ conjunction with CHIRON at Night

wow! the universe is so in harmony so in synchonicity to us down here right now.

the writing is on the wall, this is unconditional love, compassion, BLISS! HEALING, the end of the old martyr, karma debts,

and the beginning  of an NEW cycle, a rebirth as PISCES isthe last sign, end of the road, pay at the karmic toll booth for the very last time, and as you heal yourself, as you take responsibility for yourself then you are the healed healer, who needed to be wounded to understand the nature of the human condition. Tears will flow, tears of joy, relief and forgiveness,

so it was all good. You needed to experience all this pain emotion suffering joy bliss, empathy, anger, hurt, sorrow loneliness, rage, resentment, hatred, projections..  IT’s a great gift.

and dont forget we all have a common Mother, all 7 billion humans we all share the same Mother

and that is our mother the EARTH, treat HER and all her creatures with respect and kindness.

and give your mother all your love, even if your mother is dead, you can speak with her from your heart of hearts..

this is the time, the heavens are showing the signs;

 GIve yuor mother the gift of reflection: Astrology and tarot readings,

A great gift any day of the year: http://taratarot.com

enjoy,

Earth Day,3 day New Moon,Taurus month,No bull Astrology by Tara Greene

 It’s Earth Day April 22 and how appropriate for Sun Moon Jupiter to be in the first earth sign Taurus. Some nice numerology 4/22 power and enlightenment. 22= the fool. speaking of Bulls, wasn’t Ferdianand considered foolish? but very wise was he, he loved roses.

our ancient ancestors worshipped the Bull constellation Taurus shown here with primary stars the Pleiades and Orion

From April 19-May 20 It’s the time of the sacred Bull

From Pre-history our ancient ancestors worshipped the BUll and painting hundreds of drawings in the caves of Lascaux France.

Now in America HOw do we we worship the bull? We eat ‘em by the millions in the form of hamburgers, steaks, etc and we use the image of the Bulls strength and power in the modern worship of Taurus, Wall Street. The Bull looms Large.

Shiva's sacred cow Nandi Cow's are Holy and never eaten by Hindu's

For thousands of years in India, Hindu’s never eat cows as they are considered Holy. Shiva‘s sacred vehicle, all the god’s reside in the cow.

 In the Age of Taurus, 6,000 years ago, Bull’s were worshipped. Agriculture  begun, and the Bull was the animal that enabled humanity to settle down from being nomadic. In Ancient Egypt they celebrated the festival of the Apis Bull for seven days. The scared bulls were paraded through the streets in a holy procession. Any child who smelled the breath of  the Apis bulls were considered to receieve the ability to predict the future.  The bulls themselves were considered oracles. Food was offered to the Apis bull while a question was asked, if the bull ate the food it was a good omen and if he rejected it that was considered  bad. Yes Apis bulls and bees are related.  Taurus wa the sign, the constellation which heralded the Spring equinox in ancient Egypt, not Aries as we are accustomed to.

The Moon is associated with Taurus, and the glyph looks like the waxing and waning moon or a bull’s horns 

The Moon is considered to be exalted in Taurus, Venus is Taurus Ruling planet.

The ancient Minoan civilization of CRETE is probably best known for its acrobatic games of BUll Jumping. This was a Cirque du Soleil ancestor.

Bulls were considered sacred to the Goddess.

the Lacota Sioux Native American’s worship the Bull  as White Buffallo Woman who brought the most sacred Medicine pipe to this tribe

Since Bulls were once considered {and still are in India}, so HOLY and their meat not eaten. Modern western culture has turned the Bull worship upside down and we now shit on the Bull,whereas  in India cow dung was considered prescious and used for fuel. We have become big Bull shitters ourselves, we have no more sacred Cows, except the bottom dollar B.S. of Wall street and the almighty buck, but that’s another animal.

So in hacing turned the sacred cow into a profane burger we  become BULLIES in all aspects of ours culture. I loved finding that story about the Apis Bull’s breath and how children breathing it become prophetic. We are just now realising that bullying is dangerous, after having all been bullied by this top down, bullying, male dominated hierarchical structure. That is the negative bull. The archetype of Ferdinand, the soft feminine bull the server, is the real holy cow. 

So lets savour our Taurus month here which begins with a Taurus New moon April 21 with  Jupiter at 17 degrees of  Taurus plus Asteroids Ceres the Earth Mother herself at 4 degrees of Taurus, plus Lillith at 14 degrees. There is a Grand Trine in earth on the New moon  which also lasts till the 23rd. Virgo’s  and Capricorn get the big benefits. Lets not forget that Scorpio, Taurus opposite sign is always involved.

 - 10 ways to worship the BULL

1. Have delightful rose scented baths 2. eat lots of decadent chocolate 3. get &  give massages 4. don’t B.S.  anyone 5. eat very well, 6. garden 7. walk in Nature 8. don’t eat beef, 9. sit, dont do 10. enjoy being in the Garden of Eden and share it. Taurus rules the throat and they like to talk, although slowly. Yes get in the dirt and get down and dirty, plant your seeds that’s what Taurus time is all about.

Taurus is about the body, you Are your body,your soul needs the body, it is your temple, treat it well.

Taurus energy is Spirit grounding, It’s GUT INSTINCT

Psychic energy needn’t be all airy, or fiery, or watery. It is simply what your body tells  you, and the body never lies! so simply your life, your spirituality, just let your body talk.Guess what Taurus themed song it is?   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ow1gS3m1ckM

 the New Moon lasts for 3 days, the number 3 is sacred to the Empress in the Tarot, 3 stages of womanhood, maiden, mother, crone.

so during the 3 dark days of the New Moon don’t go rushing out to plant seeds just yet -just stay in the VOID, from the 21-23

Listen, listen to your body, turn off your mind chatter,let go, be stubborn about this, this is the most fertile time Spring, this is Before seed planting time.

NEW MOON

The New Moon is always the most feminine time of the month. Traditionally, women lived in small tribes, groups, communities. Ladies you know how it is when you live with other women, you all synchronize your monthly periods, don’t you? Well before the invention of electric light, thanks a lot Mr. Edison, who ripped off Nikola Tesla, BEfore that time, all women were bleeding on the New Moon. So the dark of the moon, was considered sacred, as menstrual blood was a very potent magical substance. Women would retreat just as the Dark Moon into caves, yurts, tipi’s, moon lodges, red tents to rest, renew,dream, pray,and receive renewal as they shed the uterine living.  They would bleed into the earth giving back to the earth mother. Menstrual blood was originally considered holy, potent, the liquor of immortality, because women bled and did not die. It was used as the first fertilizer.

So at this time whether you are “on your moon” or not. Act as if you are. go slow, rest, dream, be lazy. retreat. Be still and simply KNOW,that is Taurus’ essence.  Practice being TAurus like, chewing your cud, grazing on the grass,being gloriously bovine as much as possible.

Other favourite Taurus pastimes, art, music, dancing,  money,  love, practicality. Taurus is the first Fixed sign, and they hates change.

You don’t  have to be a Taurus

Everyone has  Taurus the sensuous bull in their astrology chart somewhere.Everyone does…

Associated with the 2nd sign and house, Taurus is the tools, what I HAVE, I own, I keep. Security conscious, money oriented all Taurus wants to do is smell the roses, and get more beautiful things, stuff,  in the Garden of Eden that they already revel in. Chocolate, massages, fine perfumes, Taurus men can be quite vain.

And look at PICASSO he painted and drew so many Bulls, it wasn’t just that he was Spanish. He had 5 planets in Taurus!

SCORPIO MOON weekend, sex,power,death,rebirth. Astrology and ritual Tara Greene

MOON enters SCORPIO APRIL 7 –9  EASTER and PASSOVER

Perfect alignment with DEATH, REBIRTH, TRANSFORMATION, RESURRECTION of these days Entry @ 8:18 am PDT/

moon in scorpio easter soul

Scorpio the 8th sign symbolizes the immortal SOUL. Scorpio the 2^nd water sign is concerned with all the Biggies, major life issues like sex, power, control, the shadow, death, rebirth, so it is totally a fitting emotional alignment for EASTER.

Easter or EOSTRE {  female ovulation} is an ancient PAGAN fertility festival. The egg and rabbits are fertility itself. These symbols have been added to Christs’ ancient Archetypal tale of death and rebirth.  Ancient religions had the Goddess‘ son or consort, mate with her, and then be ritually tortured and sacrificed in order to resurrect the earth’s new crops, the Goddess’s fertility.

During the Passover ritual one eats bitter herbs, to commemorate how bitter life has been for the Jews who were slaves for 300 years.  There is ritual dipping of   fingers into blessed wine and dropping a drop for each plague that God sent on Pharaoh and the Egyptians. One eats hard-boiled eggs as fertility symbols, eats sweet crushed apples and honey with bitter radish to remember that life is the sweet and the bitter. This is a wise way to remember, by ritually making the memories physical, eating the memories digests them.

Allow yourself to be with the lunar tides, on the birth death resurrection themed super moon. Feel the full Moons’ lingering influence as soulful emotions ooze into the ethers.

Whatever cross you have had to bare, has you nailed to, hung up on…Where have you felt you were the sacrificial victim of YOUR OWN making, first? The someone else involved is only a projection, real but a reflection, like the moon, a  mirror of yourself.

By being real, open, coming from DEEP within your soul, this depth allows understanding, compassion and tears, as the golden tickets you need to learn from. You can then, with consciousness and responsibility,  acceptance and surrender, easily let go of those old rusty nails that you wept on while nailed down. Love those hard boiled eggs.

Where is SCORPIO in your Astrology chart? The house and planets in that sign,are where you can do the most laundry now.

SCORPIO BIRTH AND DEATH RITUAL TRANSFORMATION

Allow death to work for you, surrender and compost that which no longer serves your new emerging self and bring rebirth into a new life.

Nothing new can fully enter your life unless you dump the old sewage, baggage, habits, etc first. Only you can really do that.

As in Passover, gather symbols of things that remind you, it can be food, photographs, music, whatever triggers those feelings around power, powerlessness, control, letting go, sex, money, abuses, shadows, revenge, hatred, obsession, competition, all Scorpio themes.

Allow the old karmic traps, soul cages and wounds to be understood, acknowledged and surrendered at this time. Allow yourself to pass over, to pass them on, to be over it.

Time and consciousness are expanding very quickly now. By simply creating a big pile of all the old memories, like crunched up old newspapers, loving them understanding then turning them into bubbles, allow them to float away on a soft spring breeze. Like magic, Presto! You are healed, you are lighter,  free.

In some ways it can be as simple as that. Scorpio is about control of your feelings, your power. Allow the new to call your name, a name you may not recognize yet.

NOTE: I am currently presenting workshops in soulfully re-naming yourself. To schedule a reading. I will help guide you to your real name, your truth, who you stand for.  taragreene@sacredartscentre.com

Let’s talk about two timing love,VENUS in Gemini Astrology advice from Tara Greene

 VENUS gets up of her her homey cowhide Taurus couch and skips into light hearted super chatty GEMINI on April 3 to stay for four months!

Which is very long to a Gemini and especially long as Venus usually only dallies for 3-4 weeks with any one lover.

There’s something specific about this extended Gemini love affair.   VENUS, one of the stars of 2012 wants us to learn from the ANGEL/DEVIL  that is pure GEMINI.  Venus exploring our TWIN natures, there’s  lots to explore in the nature of DUALITY.

 Venus in Gemini wants the best of both worlds. She wants her cake and to eat it too.

Venus in Gemini expands the-do I want it?/don’t I want it? dichotomy. It’s called ambivalence. 

VENUS in GEMINI song: Let’s talk {and talk} about Love. 

Gemini’s are often labelled ADD, as their brains are going so fast, they naturally  get very easily distracted,

so here’s a video to watch.  Bonnie Raitt sings, Do I have to repeat it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z04r_tlWdRs

 Venus in Gemini is a love affair with the imagination, It is sexy chatty engagement with both lobes of the brain. 

The Air element sign is mentally expansive; everything you can image is possible. Thoughts do create our reality, so be very careful what your conscious and unconscious mind is thinking.  

Gemini Keywords:   Flirty,  Curiosity, Fast mover, fast thinking, ultra chatty, detached, ambiguous, Two-timer, Peter Pan, naïve, irresponsible, detached, trickster, travelling salesman, footloose, You add  your own……. 

Each sign represents an Archetype. I the Tarot the sign of GEMINI is associated with… wait for it.

                        

Gemini The Lovers Trump # 6

                                                  THE  LOVERS

Here are two, of course different versions of the LOVERS  a Major Arcana Trumps. The Card on the left is a modern deck based on the Sufi poet RUMI the 13 Century Persian poet who wrote 30,000 mystical love poems during  a short life.  I have this deck, it is very romantic and beautiful.

The one on the right is from the Crowley Thoth Tarot the one I always use.You can see the attribute of the sigil of Gemini on it. The Twins.

When I first started to study the tarot seriously about 22 years ago. The connection of Gemini to the Lovers drove me crazy, I couldn’t get it. From studying Astrology I knew Gemini as the most immature, ambiguous, curious, detached sign of all. Not what I would think of associated with the qualities of Love.  Libra would be the sign I would first associate with love and marriage. I won’t go into all the correspondences of the Tarot and the Tree of Life, the Kabbalah etc.  suffice it to say the Lovers is #6 which is Tifferet in Hebrew at the center of the Tree of Life.

the Lovers and Gemini are about Choice, duality. The opposites, masculine and feminine, yin and yang, up down, Heaven and Hell, Good and Evil, right and wrong, us and them,Light and Dark  etc.

Gemini symbolizes consciousness itself, and our dual natured brains. VENUS in GEMINI loves to learn  and for the next four months the focus is learning lessons in LOVE.

Mercury Retro- pre-Xmas Holiday Blues + Dec 10 Gemini Lunar Eclipse byTara Greene psychic Tarot spiritual adviser

I’ve got the Mercury Retrograde Blues…

This Mercury Retro during holiday season is enough to drive anyone a bit wacko.  If you havent realized how late in the year it is its OK. Time has been getting faster and faster and most of us are in the same boat. Just wait to do whatever Holiday shopping until after Mercury planet of communications turns direct on Dec 13th @ 5:43 pm PDT. But again things wont be totally smooth in the communications dept.  until Mercury gets back to where it was when it turned Retrograde at 20 degrees plus of Sagittarius on Jan 1st 2012.

MAKE YOUR NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS AFTER JAN 1ST!  If you plan to get any results.

Dec 10 Lunar Eclipse Gemini Full Moon occurs @ 6:38 am PST/ 9:38 am EDT/ 2:38 pm GMT

watch the animation of it here. http://shadowandsubstance.com/

An Lunar Eclipse is a new beginning in emotional responses and instinctual habit patterns. The MOON rules the Unconscious,the shadows, the instincts,the people themselves. A Lunar eclipse is a SuPER DUPER FULL MOON.  IT’s energy changes the fluctuations in the electro-magnetic fields. consciousness changes, old emotional programs can be erased. Eclipses mark important turning points  and opportunities to grow.

Lunar Eclipses brings out SUPER werewolves, and makes you want to howl at the moon.

A Retrograde GEMINI LUNAR ECLIPSE is what this one is as Mercury is the ruler of  Gemini and it is in RETROGRADE phase. Hmm. With the twins in shadow land this should be very interesting. It is considered to be a karmic phase as we are going over old ingrained conscious pattern of duality, separation, and oppositions. This is totally fitting after the 11:11:11 barely one month ago.

Squared by Mars in Virgo the sign which the Retrograde Mercury also rules. The message should be. OFF with yer head. That is forget all that head stuff, that Mercury rules and trust your guts totally. Mercury because of its retrograde influence will abide in Sagittarius sign of truth for doubly long a time moving through the arche from Nov 2 to JAn. 8 2012 which gives us an extra long time to expand out horizons, gallop off into the sunset, and grasp the higher truth, all with a sense of humour. 

HI YO SILVER { moon}

An interesting light and shadow play. Get out the Indonesian shadow puppets to act this message out. 

Gemini eclipse, twin shadows

 

Shadow means, you know all those disowned and projected out parts of ourselves that we haven’t  integrated, blessed accepted or loved yet.

WHO GETS THE FULL IMPACT?

occurring at 18 degrees of Gemini, obviously Gemini’s, Sagittarius, Pisces and Virgo’s will feel the effects most. If your birthday occurs on or around Dec 10, June 10, March 10 or Sept 10. EFFECTS of eclipses lasts 6 ,months to one year. Also affects countries, cities, companies born inand around these dates.

Some countries which will be affected: These are their Independence Days:

June 6 SWEDEN. June 12 the PHILLIPINES get the direct Gemini Eclipse conjunction

FINLAND Dec 6. KAZHAKSTAN Dec 16. SOUTH KOREA on Dec 11 is the closest with the opposition.

NORTH KOREA on Sept 9, MACEDONIA, Sept. 8, NICARAGUA and GUATEMALA on Sept. 15, COSTA RICA sept 15,MEXICO Sept. 16 all get the Square from the Eclipse which applies pressure.

Watch all these countries issues to be front and centre in 2012.

NEPTUNE is I Tunes

Go to Neptune to try to tune in. The Mayan Calendar has ended already. It’s all about creating your own reality and opening up to Higher reality. Life  is just a dream, so let Neptune be your guide.

Neptune is at 28 degrees of Aquarius, opposite the Fixed star Regulus which by the way has just entered VIRGO for the first time in 2,160 years!!!

REGULUS Aka ARCHANGEL RAPHAEL, healer of the Heart,

The “FIXED STAR” known as the Heart of the LIon, has moved out of LEO, and into Zero degrees of Virgo. directly opposite Neptune and Chiron the wounded Healer. More than the Mayan calendar in some ways a star ingressing into a new sign and element is a very big new show. A factual, real, verifiable, astronomically correct and approved one. OK OK this is Tropical astrology. It’s what most western astrologer use and it works.

URANUS  the revolutionary planet who is behind the Arab spring is also still at that ZERO degree point of ARIES and will be Direct on Dec 9th just in time for the eclipse. Direct at Uranus, sounds a bit….

Jupiter is at ZERO degrees of TAURUS also Retrograde. Turning DIRECT on Christmas Eve, which is  December 25 for the non Catholics and all you atheists. Jupiter rules the Sign of Sagittarius and Pisces traditionally.

Chiron just moved from ZERO degrees of PISCES on Dec 7th.

Saturn is opposite Jupiter during the eclipse, Saturn is at 26 degrees of Libra.

Mercury is at 4 degrees of Sagittarius having just crossed the Fixed Star Antares. Mercury the ruler of the eclipse is also squaring Uranus. Mercury is the earthy or real messenger, URANUS is considered to be the higher calling of Mercury, the Higher messenger, the one who takes you higher, the one who relates to quantum physics, future ideas, breakthroughs in consciousness.

So expect much more revolution,division, dissolving of boundaries both real and imagined.

ECLIPSES run in major cycles.

The last lunar eclipse closes to this degree was at 18 degrees 12 minutes of Sagittarius on December 9, 1992,the exact same degree as this one.

So where were you then? what was inspiring you then? what were your dreams and goals that you aspired to?

Dream bigger dreams with the Sun in Sagittarius, Tell  the truth. Aim higher. Know you are connected to a much bigger Galactic Picture. Gemini is actually the principle of RELATIONSHIPS. seeming duality. The universe can’t know itself, experience itself if it can’t mirror back to itself. We are the very mirror of Universal Intelligence and Love. The Gemini eclipse point s the way for us to look deep into the mirror of Self in everything, every particle even in most of the dark matter in the Universe to find G*D our very Selves  there and here. The twins, the polarity.

P.S. my husband, Artist Napoleon Brousseau pointed out today that we live in a bi-polar world, we have a North pole and a south pole.  I know bi-polar is the “flavour of the month.” don’t worry about it. Don’t allow yourself to be labeled.

All is one. There is no other. no shadow.

11:11:11 report from Sedona,Tara Greene psychic spiritual adviser

I journeyed to the magical red rock vortexes of Sedona Arizona along with many hundreds of other spritual seekers and other tourists who just happened to be here fot the event.

I arrived Nob. 8th which is the cross quarter day in the Amerindian sacred round of the year occupying the position of the North west on the wheel,

This is the place of karma and dharma the place of sacred magic ruled by the crow or raven, and in other teachings ve come across also symbolizes the Places of Power on the planet. Of which Sedona is well known, as well s the pyramids, Mt. Shasta, Lake Titicaca, Tibet etc.

It snowed the day before, and I heard the road up to Flagstaff was closed done. The 13 crystal skulls from Mayan legend, or facsimiles were brought to Sedona on the 7th and there were supposed to be ceremonies and 400 peopple showed up. But I heard that no ceremonies occurred. Drunvalo Melchizadek was on hand though.

There were many workshops,talks,lectures, info sessions,preparations going on by various and sundry spiritual groups and individuals: Chakra tours, DNA strand activations, ascention preparations, meditations, body work, vortex tours, weddings, chakra balancings, UFO sightings, crop circle info. exchanged, metaphysical music, sound healing performances, sweat lodges, horse back rides, clearings, past life channelings, Arcutrian, Lemurian, Atlantean, Sirian, Pleaidian, Zeta Reticuli, 10th dimensional, 9th Dimensional, walk-ins, NDE exchanges, Burning man devotees, John of God followers, Dahwn yoga,angelic messngers,deep trance, crystal healing beds, aromatherapy, hypnotherapy, rolfing,dancing, drumming,camping out, yoga, trance dancing,Kabbalah, Astrology, synchonicities, healings, searches for the Holy Grail, raw foodies, organic everything, arts and Mary Magdalen’s name bantered around everywhere. MM knows everyone in town here.

Nov. 8th I am a bit jet legged upon arriving. Check in at the Super 8. Symbolizes Super Infinity. My friend Jospeph-Mark a Kabbalistic Astrologer and scholar of many metaphysical mediums from Nelson british Columbia comes to fetch me as  I don’t drive due to an unusual visual perceptual issue.

11:11:11 goings on in Sedona

OUr 11:11:11 ceremony was on Shnebley Road, by the area called cow pies. We created a tree of Life. set alcohol on each Sephiroth to make elixers with after. Did prayers. Circumnabulated the Tree 33 times in Total, Prayed in Hebrew, English, Sanskrit Sang, danced, It was joyfull. A couple was getting married off in the distance.

Spirit flattens me  but angels save me

Our 2nd cermeony of the day occurred in Fay Canyon off of Boynton canyon. There is an arch or cave up a pretty steep climb. Some women came by to our ceremony where there was a natural mesa, we used herkimmer diamond crystals, and charged more alcohol for elixiers. Apparently this cave has Arcturian enegies. I had brought my Medicine Pipe and did an Native American Ceremony and prayers off to the side. After my cermeony as I was getting ready to walk down from the cave I suddenly fell, it was  so fast, I landed flat on my face. I couldnt believe it, There I was face down eating that famous red rock dust and praying that my teo front teeth didnt get knocked out. And of course i am wondering what the heck was that? I had broked my fall with my hand and there was a little bleeding and I had a fat lip but seemed miraculously to be relatively unharmed. I was helped down by a nice man with climbing poles.  I realized afterwards just how lucky I was and truly felt protected by the many many angels that are all around me now.

The woman who found the Holy Grail

Part 3 of my 11:11:11 involved a woman who had come to speak with my freind Jospeh MArk about his Kabbalistic and esoteric knowledge, We went to his freinds house and waited for peopple to show up for a talk he had intended to give. This lady claimed she had actually found the Holy Grail in Wales, it was an olive wood cup, traditionally used for wine in Sabbath ceremonies. She said it had been kept secret but that the crown of England had extensive documentation in secret of the healings that had been associated with people who touched it or who drank water form it. As hse told her story I could see and feel the energy as she told us about the miracle of the ever replenishing waters and how drinking from the Holy Grail made her a total lover and knower that there is only One Unity,no duality.

Well that is what the 11:11:11 energies are all about

She gave me a hug and I felt that christ like energy of enlightenment, divine love and acceptance come through her. It was excilerating.

NOv. 12

I go to have a special treatment on a chakra lazer bed. This is form the John of God healing center I believe. I had tried this treatment a few days ago and liked it. I immediately saw visions of the Goddess Isis as I lay on the bed.

This time I needed more time and was given an hour but was going so deep I asked for more time. I spent one and a half hours on that bed. It opens one;s chakra’s. Answers your intentions, I was given some specificinformtion.

Following a flyer we found at the Health Food Store,later we ended up at the Sedona High School where there was a special performance of dancing drumming and a Meditation Teacher who we didnt know anything about.

The teacher is a Korean breath teacher Ilchi Lee, a famous Dahn yoga instructir who has livedin Sedona for 15 years. He showed this amazing video which showed the  benefits of breathing techniques. Here is a sample of this awesome footage of russian freestyle diver with Beluga whales insub zero waters swimming naked.

There were 3 big busloads of Korean tourists i think who drove in to watch this famous unbeknownst to us, cultish leader, he was fun.

One ting after another, people would show up to lead me or to absolutely synchronize into the flow of the ocnversation.

Venus in Leo! I am woman hear me roar! July 28 -Aug 21 plus Love,drama. Pres. Obama 50th,the whole Kit ‘n canoodle predictions by Tara Greene

Venus in Leo sure heats things up! Record heat waves, The Goddess is loud, proud, SEXY, in the spotlight, flashing red  puple and Gold, taking center stage.

R U getting enough DRAMA these days?

Excellent time for passionate love affairs!

Fires are sparking everywhere!

Leo is the HEART, Venus in Leo is the Heart Flame! Wearing your heart on your sleeve.

Leo is  Royalty, the King, the Sun, Gold, the Source, the Will, Center stage

Venus in Leo is the Queen, the Feminine Source, Golden Haired Goddess, Marilyn Monroe

It’s super dramatic, did they wait till the last minute to sign some sort of treaty re the DEBT?

It’s Mr. Obama’s 50th Birthday Aug 4, so Happy Birthday Mr. President

 

The President is going through what every 50 year old goes through. It’s called your Chiron Return.

Chiron whose symbol resembles a key, is an outer space object with a 50 year elliptical orbit. Discovered Nov. 1 1977 Chiron was, in Greek Mythology a Centaur, half immortal, rejected by his parents who became a great healer. Long story short, he asked to give up his immortality to quell the pain, he is immortalized as a Constellation in the skies. His discovery brings to our present day consciousness the unconscious psychological symbol of being human, of being archetypal vulnerable and therefor inherently, humanly wounded.

 So where that little key is in your birth chart  shows where you are the most vulnerable, wounded but also where the greatest healing lies, for as each individual heals themselves and the greatest strength lies in being able to open the wounds, show the soft underbelly, own it, take responsibility for it, cherish it, thank it, understand it, bless it, that we may become wounded healers for others. 

And as Kurt Vonnegut would say, and so it goes.

So I send HAPPY BIRTHDAY greetings to President Obama. Lord knows we can all see the vulnerability, the wounds, he is feeling right now trying to fix a wounded U.S.A.  It’s a mighty big job.

So lets take a look at Mr. Obama’s birth chart as he turns 50.

 

President Obama's birth chart and transits

Were you  born in 1961?

then U 2 will have a Chiron return this year as well.

Mr. Obama’s 50th shows Chiron directly on his natal Chiron at 5 degrees of Pisces in his first house of Self. Who he is. What he identifies as.

Mr. Obama has Chiron opposite Pluto in Virgo in the 7th house of others in his Birth chart, indicating that he is a wounded healer with Big Soul, Big Power,[ Pluto}  a rebirth, around health, work, service to others. Very intelligent, that's pluto in Virgo, a perfectionist, a very hard worker, someone who always gets te job done. The Chiron return amps up his innate wounding which he felt as a child. Pisces is the most spiritual and sensitive of all the signs, with no boundaries, feeling one with everyone.

I do believe and I tell all my clients that I totally know inherently that we chose our parents, our place and time of birth before we come into this life the characteristics, which allows us the perfect opportunities for our souls to grow,learn and hopefully to complete our journeys of why we came into this life time again, this time around.

Mr. Obama came into this life already spiritual already a wounded healer with a lot of power directed out to the world at large. A Pisces Chiron is compassionate, all-inclusive, can be a martyr.Being of mixed racial background is a perfect symbol for him.

Mr. Obama's North Node or highest spiritual goal is at 27 degrees 18 minutes of Leo in his 7th house, the house of marriage or all others, his interface with the world, and conjunct to Pluto.  North Node conjunct Pluto is considered to be very powerful, very purposeful.  Becoming President with a capital P. is his fulfilling his highest destiny.

27 degrees of Leo is conjunct to a very famous Fixed Star REGULUS, the heart of the Lion. This famous star is connected to the ArchAngel Raphael the healer of the heart.  His South Node representing the Past, is at 27 degrees of Aquarius in his first house.

Neptune the planet of dreamers. chameleons, actors, addictions, illusions, delusions, Hollywood, OIL. HAs been passing over Mr. Obama's South Node and will do so again soon. He may seem tobe shifting his position, or being too idealistic. 

Venus is now in Leo and Venus will make a Superior Conjunction to the Sun on Aug 16th at 23 degrees of Leo. 

Every year the Sun is at the 23 degree on this date and co-incidentally it is the Anniversary dates of two very important festivals, gatherings, shifts in world consciousness.

 

Aug 15 017 1969 Woodstock

 

 WOODSTOCK took place  on Aug 15 16 and 15 in where else?  

hundreds of thousands of young people arrived bare foot, long-haired, to tune in turn on drop out, create their own city, babies were born, musicians played as they never had before, Joni Mitchell summed it up in her famous song,

WE ARE STARDUST, WE ARE GOLDEN, AND WE’VE GOT TO GET OURSELVES BACK TO THE GARDEN

I just came across this TWEET synchronistically by Deepak Chopra like an hr ago!  We are golden.

Also on Aug 16 and 17 1987 the HARMONIC CONVERGENCE

Jose Arguelles, who recently passed on, one of the co-founders of Earth day, declared these days a world-wide meditation and higher consciousness gathering and brought the Mayan calendar “end date” of Dec 21, 2012 into mass consciousness.

For these 2 days Light workers gathered at various high energy vortex power spots around the world, Mt. Shasta. Niagara Falls, Sedona Arizona etc. 

I happened  to be drawn to living in Sedona a year before there and arrived there at Spring Equinox in 1987 to find out unbeknownst to me consciously and after the fact that 10,000 people were scheduled to arrive on  these dates in a town of 7,500 people. They did. I was there on Bell Rock and the Airport Vortex doing movement meditations. It was on National News.

My point is folks, that Venus the Goddess of women, beauty, love, harmony, balance the Arts is going to Kanoodle with the Sun on this very same date bringing the point that as in the Harry Potter Deathly Hallow’s part 1 – the Golden snitch says “I OPEN AT THE CLOSE.” cryptic words those.

So we are back to where we began this little story, Venus, the Sun , Leo, The President, Golden Girls- Marilyn Monroe, Happy 50th, anniversaries.  

The Ancients called the convergence of Venus with the Sun “CAZIMI” meaning under the Sun’s beams, burnt out, disappeared, and evil.

As a symbol of what these dates have symbolized to the collective consciousness and to have this important rendezvous now means:

Now we don’t live in fear, but in insight from our hearts, the place that LEO rules. So throw open the gates of your heart, 

Love  loud and proud, not vaingloriously but un- egotistically.  Venus disappearing, being swallowed up by the Sun,

means she is entering a Golden Palace, a Heaven world, and we as the microcosmic mirror of the Marcocosm. “AS ABOVE< SO BELOW>”

as She is dying to Herself to rise like the Phoenix from the ashes of her own immolation,

out of compete unselfish Love for the Sun, the Source of all Light and Life, to have her ego/self extinguished.

 Venus will then no longer be visible as the morning star [ DAWN STAR} where she has risen so beautifully at night in the East,

she will go to the Underworld, the night Sea journey, to the dark side of the SUN, to be reborn many months from now.

And we must go with Her whether consciously or Unconsciously.

The Lust and speculation over Gold as security in a changing worldscape is a projection of our need for what Gold holds and trasmits, what it symbolizes.  the Light of the Sun, our very Selves, our Golden Self, our Spirits, our Souls,. shining Lights, Stars. 

.The symbol # 17 in the Tarot, The Star symbol of Aquarius and you remember that song, from another famous ‘60’s musical icon don’t you?

This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, the Age of Aquarius.  

We are Stardust, We are Golden, and we've got to get ourselves back to the Garden. Thank You Joni Mitchell for so eloquently tuning into the cosmic vibe of Eternity.

Back to Obama

And as for Mr. Obama the Venus Sun conjunction occurs in his 7th house, on his Uranus, planet of REVOLUTION in-between that planet and LILLITH, at 20 degrees of Leo very near to his Descendant.

LILLITH the archetypal first woman proceeding EVE. Didya read that story in the Bible? Not just a women's songfest. LILLITH was the first woman, She was the original "I am woman hear me roar. " She refused to allow Adam to dominate her sexually, like an animal. Pointing out rightly so, that G*d had created Her and Him EQUAL, of the earth, so what the heck was he thinking?

He wasn't obviously, he was Unconscious. So Lillith took off and flew the coop and she left Eden. Yep that's right, she flew right outa there and went to reside by the Red Sea. Ok. Long story short. She refuses to compromise in any way and is demonized by the Patriarchs who were trying to re-write HIStory from He point of view, when everyone knows deep down in their cellular memories that it was and is and always shall be SHEstory.

That is a Matriarchal comprehension of the Universe, self-evident, common sensicle. So Adam is in the Garden and asks God to make him a mate. So G* d creates Eve to be the perfect Lord it over the women prototype and women are blamed, defamed, and eternally damned in this historical rewrite.

 

So what does that mean? Well I believe the Women will revolt and take back their power!!!!!!!!!!!! I am woman hear me roar!!! Venus in Leo, conjunct the Sun. Which is ungoldenly the Ego, vanity, greed, fear and in the Light, and spiritually the divine essence, the spirit itself, rising again as Divine Love.

So guys ya better start workin on getting nice to your own inner female side, yah you. You got one too. Everyone does. Ya'all never be alone ya know.

and I stumbled upon through sheer Grace /Synchronicity through a woman named Jennifer Hough, who I recenly met at the Grail Lady Faire at the Grail Springs Spa in Bancroft Ontario.    http://www.grailsprings.com/

Tara Greene presenter at Grail Lady Faire 2011

she just had this on her FB page. It is a poem by David Whyte, the Washington based bard who began his writing lessons with It doesn’t interest me… which inspired my former teacher Oriah Mountain Dreamer to write  a poem which was originally a newsletter which eventually became The Invitation,

 

EVERYTHING IS WAITING FOR YOU

 

 

 

(After Derek Mahon) 

 

Your great mistake is to act the drama
as if you were alone. As if life
were a progressive and cunning crime
with no witness to the tiny hidden
transgressions. To feel abandoned is to deny
the intimacy of your surroundings. Surely,
even you, at times, have felt the grand array;
the swelling presence, and the chorus, crowding
out your solo voice. You must note
the way the soap dish enables you,
or the window latch grants you freedom.
Alertness is the hidden discipline of familiarity.
The stairs are your mentor of things
to come, the doors have always been there
to frighten you and invite you,
and the tiny speaker in the phone
is your dream-ladder to divinity.

 

 Put down the weight of your aloneness and ease into
the conversation. The kettle is singing
even as it pours you a drink, the cooking pots
have left their arrogant aloofness and
seen the good in you at last. All the birds
and creatures of the world are unutterably
themselves. Everything is waiting for you. 

 

~ David Whyte ~

US Debt crisis Aug 2, 2011. 8 ball, X marks the spot,in detriment. The Astrology of,predictions from Tara Greene,financial crystal ball consultant

 

The U.A. astrology chart 1776 and Aug 2 2011 debt crisis

 

This is the Astrology chart of the United States born on July 4, 1776 at 5:10 pm Philadelphia commonly known as the Sibley Chart. There is much debate over which exact time the Declaration of Independence was signed but this is the chart most used. The Ascendant or persona or mask of Uncle Sam is at 12 degrees + of  Sagittarius, the Centaur of the Zodiac known for  truth, Justice, foreigners, travelling, law, philosophy,humour,animals,expansion, inspiration, boundless optimism,doing things BIG. Sounds like the good old U.S. and A?

U.S. is a Cancerian Sun of course! Should be AUNT SAMANTHA not Uncle Sam!

We all know at heart Americas was Born on July 4 making Her a Cancer, all Mom and Apple Pie of course, homeland security is the perfect translation of Sun in Cancer.

Without going into detail suffice it to say that the Inner wheel with the planets in BLUE is the U.S.’s Natal chart. The all important MOON representing THE PEOPLE which the constitution represents is at 27 degrees 10 minutes of Aquarius,in the 3rd house of communications.

Mercury {communications, thinking} is also in Cancer at 24 degrees of Cancer RETROGRADE -which means appearing to move backwards, in the 8th house  which governs finances, other people’s money, TAXES, inheritance, secrets, power, control, birth and death, 8th house Scorpio issues,like sexuality.

Venus planet of Women, Money, luxury, balance, the arts,relationships, is at 3 degrees of Cancer placed inside the 7th house of Marriage, committed relationships, businesses, the interface for Self and all others in the world. Venus is conjunct or connected to Mr. Big himself planet Jupiter {Yahweh,Jah, Zeus} at 5 degrees of Cancer also in the relationship 7th house. They are Married in the 7th house therefore BIG SPENDER is the tag word here.

 

FYI the Cancer Sun the ego and identity is in that 7th house but very close to the 8th house get my drift.

MArs the God of War, defenses, action, libido, ruler of men is at 21 degrees of Gemini also in the 7th.

SATURN the planet that rules everything in matter, the 3D world, aka Father Time, Death, limitations, obstacles, Lord of Karma, the patriarchy, career, corporate structures, buildings, the elderly, seniority, senators, the TAX MAN, is up in the 10th house of World renown in Libra, where Saturn is considered to be exalted, or more favourable, more fair and balanced in the Sign of Peace, negotiations, relationships. But wherever we find Saturn we find difficulty.

URANUS planet of revolution, technology, inventions, genius, group thinking, individuality, freedom,sudden change  is at 8 degrees of Gemini in the 6th house of work, service,analysis but right on that 7th house cusp of where it interfaces with the world.

NEPTUNE  at 22 degree of Virgo is the planet of dreams, artists, spirituality, compassion, illusion, delusion, drugs, secret enemies, self-undoing, addictions, DEBT, fantasy. Hollywood, film and photography and OIL is in the 9th house which rules foreigners, expansion, truth, justice all Sagittaria type matters, airplanes, teaching, proselytizing.

PLUTO still very important astrological, rules the Soul, the Unconscious, shadows, power, control, secrets is at 27 degrees of Capricorn RETROGRADE in the 2nd house of Money,values, tools and resources, stubbornness, sensuality,the body.

The U.S. North Node , the N.N. symbolizes your highest spiritual goal, is at 6 degrees of Leo in the 8th house of death and rebirth all that Scorpio stuff- other people’s money etc. This is LEo like  courage, the daring, the leadership, the drama, the childlike nature of, the will. The U.S. is always the center stage where the U.S. will show its courage or its vanity, power-over or power with, and too much pride which always precedes its’ fall..

That Key like symbol is called Chiron the Wounded Healer,also a Centaur in classical greek mythology, never mind that the Greek economy has now cacked out, its Mythology is still ever powerful in its’ Archetypal meaning. Chiron, discovered Nov. 1, 1977 is a powerful point indicating where the greatest wounding and also the greatest healing are marked. At 20 degrees of Aries Chiron is a main focal point as it is opposite Saturn -see red lines-and in a square aspect of 90 degrees {L}  or so to the Sun, Mercury and to Pluto as well.

Chiron also squares the Vertex at 26 degrees of cancer. The Vertex is a “karmic point” an intake of crucial significance in connecting with other. Note that PLuto is opposite this Vertex point as well. the only other main Squares in the U.S. chart are from Mars in Square aspect to Neptune. Squares are pressures, they make things happen, they are tense. Mars in Gemini in the 7th house square to Neptune in Virgo in the 9th, means {Gemini like} Peter Pan, peur, instant gratification, immaturity, divided attentions,split personalities, indecisive, dual natured actions and desires, doubly macho, warlike and  all that energy is applying aggressively to an earthy  hard-working self-critical, diligent, prudent,conservative, work ethic {Virgo} infused with a highly evolved {9th house} Neptunian escapist unrealistic addiction. In other words, escapism,  Warlike  tantrums and childlike actions.  Life built on fantasy and illusion, drug and alcohol addictions, false dependency on foreign oil, mass communications { Gemini}  used to brainwash the public.  Illusions about work, life, morals, philosophy, history, laws, all 9th house issues.

 One more thing the U.S. Moon is flanked by two Asteroids named for Greek goddesses. Athena is at 26 degrees of Aquarius a degree away from the moon. She is the patriarchal Goddess representing the transition from Matriarchy to Patriarchy as she is born from Zeus head fully armed. She is  a war strategist, she wears an owl on her shoulder. The city of Athens is named in her honour and the Parthenon her main temple. The sickle-like symbol to the other  side of the crescent moon is the asteroid Ceres at 8 degrees of Pisces but close enough to be considered conjunct the Moon. She is Ceres to the Romans and Demeter to the Greeks.  Ceres is the great mother of the earth Herself, Mother Nature,or Gaia we would popularly call her. This gives the U.S. Moon a very interesting Strong Matriarchal focus, but one that has not been fully realized yet.

nOW LETS GET TO AUG 2 2011 ALREADY. WHAT’S IT LOOK LIKE?

The outer planets in green ringing the natal wheel are the planets today Aug 2 2011.

The U.S. has held debt for many many years. On Oct 1, 1917  during the first World War, the first effective debt ceiling was created,called The second Liberty Loan Act. On this date, just after a full moon, the Sun and Moon were squaring Pluto which was conjunct the South Node at 5 degrees of Cancer,and the Sun and Moon were also squaring the North Node at 5 degrees of Capricorn. That lunation was mid-way between an eclipse as well,as eclipses can only occur when the sun nd moon are aligned with the nodes.

And where is Pluto now? at 5 degrees of Capricorn, exactly Dead on where the North Node was on Oct 1, 1917. The Nodes and Pluto are interconnected in Evolutionary Astrology as they symbolize the soul’s growth. Pluto {death and rebirth, secrets, power and control issues} also opposes Natal Jupiter at 5 degrees of Cancer exactly now Jupiter is always associated with expansion and wealth and with Venus ruler of money as well.

 Pluto is exactly opposite to where it was when this first debt crisis was created. So half way in the entire cycle.

THE  U>S> SATURN RETURN, the Return of Satan,  U.S. behind the 8 ball 

Saturn that ole’ devil is returning once again for the 8th time to the place it was when the U.S. was born. The U.S. has just had its’ 235th birthday.  more about that soon.

Have you turned 28 or 29/30 ? 56 -60? 84-90? congratulations! Then you have lived through one, two and three Saturn returns yourself.  Saturn is the great TESTER, the challenger, makes you jump through the hoops. Saturn is time, the old boys system. Corporate structure, senility, seniority, maturity.

The U.S. is now getting it’s 8th of such Saturn returns. 8 itself is the symbol of infinity, I know 8 is considered lucky for finances in China. Since China holds most of the U.S. debt they dont want the U.S. to default, or do they? 8 is karma, what you put out is what you get back and in the simplest of terms, if you overspend the piper must be paid sooner of later.  As Saturn is connected traditionally to the Devil,and those Tea Partiers are sure acting like devils accusing Obama or every sort of heinous crime.

 is the U.S. SELLING ITS’ SOUL to the devil now?  Who is plea bargaining? Just who are the terrorists these days? V.P. Biden referring to those ultra right-wing Tea partiers as terrorists is one way of calling  a spade a  spade, no puns intended or racial slurs at all.

July 1, 2011 the Cancer Solar eclipse falls at 3 degrees from the U.S. Sun and right on Canada’s Sun.

Eclipse are always strong portends of change. That eclipse has the Sun and the Moon  on the U.S. Sun. The feelings of the People as symbolized by the Moon eclipsing the Sun, the Light  shows the state {the Sun} being changed by the popular feelings of the People.

The bad news is the  cuts! Usually all the good friendly public welfare stuff gets cut. the stuff that benefits the children the poor the elderly.

The Leo New Moon of July 30th just saw Venus at 2 degrees of Leo conjunct to the Sun and Moon at 7 degrees of Leo. And Venus  is in a square aspect to Jupiter at 8 degrees of Taurus. Jupiter in Taurus is earthy, sensuous, will never go on a diet! Jupiter is also in a positive Trine aspect to Retrograde Pluto right now. So Venus Jupiter and Pluto are aligning  in a Grand trine now, a very positive optimistic expansive energy although one where the corporate structure is being overhauled. This is the first new moon since the Eclipse so it brings in new fresh energies. 

GOING FOR THE OBAMA DRAMA ARE WE?

The U.S. North Node is at 6 degrees of Leo. So this is promising as Venus in Leo is largesse, queenly, dramatic! going right to the 11th hour are we just for the stage presence.

Let’s remember that Obama is a Leo after all. and more about the President’s 50th birthday is well, That’s why it’s hurting him so much. He is experiencing his Chiron return! 

R U Turning 50 this year like the President? Join the Hurts so much club.

 Dont take it personally. Everyone during their 50th year gets to experience their Chiron return. Chiron takes 5o0 years to make one complete round. If you live to be 100 you’ll get 2 of them. It hurts, it is a healing crisis. Mr Obama is feeling ultra vulnerable and those Tea Partiers keep sticking their fingers into the wounds. Not al of this mess he created, he stepped into this mess lets remember.

But still the Wall Street crooks are still free and laughing all the way to their personal Ferrari’s and bank vaults.  Goldman Sachs, the lawmakers, the shyster, the wheeler dealers for the banks,the credit card companies are all in cahoots ,are all culpable. The Federal Reserve, the lobbyists etc etc etc.  are to blame for this mess. Who’s going to pay? That’s right. the little guy, the poor, the powerless, the young. Not the corporations, the banks, the car companies, the wealthy.

One more thing MERCURY is going RETROGRADE Aug 2.

 Why is it dragging out to the last minutes? As Mercury turns retrograde he slows down. Going Retrogarde  at Zero degrees of Virgo, that’s OK for the U.S. it is in harmony with the U.S. think outside the box ways. Mercury is also directly opposite Neptune also moving Retrograde at Zero degrees of Pisces. Mercury will be retrograde from Aug 2 -26 but wont go back to Zero degrees of Virgo again where it turned Retrograde at, till Sept 9, 2011. 

Note the Big RED X marks the Spot in the U.S. chart.  

The crux or cross or red X in the chart indicates, too much rashness Chiron at 20 degrees of Aries opposite Saturn in Libra in the 10^th house can be a fall from the world’s stage, as squared by Pluto at 27 degrees of Capricorn Rx opposite the Vertex and Part of Fortune at 26 degrees of cancer. The Part of fortune is the pot of Gold in the chart. This point to certain transits Saturn will be at 20 degrees of Libra opposite Chiron in mid-October of 2011, this can indicate further stress woes and trouble. Saturn will also be at 27 degrees of Libra squaring its natal Pluto and Squaring that PART OF FORTUNE/ VERTEX point around the same time. These are all super hot spots in the chart.

MARS RETROGRADE In the U.S. Progressed Astrology chart for the next 80 years!!!!

 And last but not least in anyone’s chart planets change direction during your lifetime. All charts Progresss. The U.S. is no exception. Since  July 19 2006 the U.S. Mars. its’ vigor, libido, strength, power, force has turned Retrograde and will continue to do so for the next 80 years till March 27, 2086!!! 

My advice. Some antidotes?

Do a collective Rip Van Winkle and go to sleep for about 20 years until a solution is found. By 2031 well Pluto will be in Aquarius. The Age of Aquairus will be happening. Some new fangleddebt ridder invention will have been created. there will be no more money in the world, and according to quantum physics, no separation, no debt, no others.

The U.S. consciousness needs to either prick its’ collective finger,and not THE finger, on the spinning wheel of karma and time, that is Saturn and go into a Neptunian collective fantasy and illusion addiction sleep for about 80 years until Prince Charmant comes along to wake up Sleeping America the Beautiful at long last. By that time at least no more debt is racked up,  if no Americans are spending all that newly printed cash, well it wont be so bad, will it?
