Where the Wild Things Are,Maurice Sendak R.I.P. Astrology of artist/writer’s life by Tara greene

I felt sad to hear that famed children’s author and illustrator Maurice Sendak passed away May 8 at the not too shabby age of 83.

Most famous for writing and illustrating Where the Wild Things Are in 1963, the book was a modern classic turning the tables from “nice, safe, Disney-fied, squeaky clean, pabulum type of sugar-coated kids Lit. A movie based on W.T. W. T. A. was released in 2009.

He authored 22 books, and illustrated almost a hundred books.

His other most infamous book is In the Night Kitchen first published in 1970. It was heavily censored for the drawings of a young naked boy running through the pages of the book.

 Sendak  was born of Polish Jewish immigrants and he described his childhood as “terrible” because all of his extended family had been killed in The Holocaust. He loved to read as a child then became inspired to draw after seeing Walt Disney’s Fantasia as a child. He was one of the early National Board of  Advisers for Sesame Street. He produced animated TV productions, and collaborated with other playwrights  and had recent successes in the past 10 years.

His personal Gods are Herman Melville creator of Moby Dick, Emily Dickinson and Mozart. Sendak was quoted as saying ” If there’s a purpose for life, it was for me to hear Mozart.”

Where the Wild Things Are sold over twenty million copies.

I remember reading it over and over to my son Elijah when he was a little boy,I loved reading to him, and it was one of his favourite stories. The story is about a young boy who proudly goes off to have adventures in his room because he is being punished and given a time out,with no dinner, by his mother for acting out.

The boy becomes King of the Wild Things, monsters on an island, but then gets lonely and tired of being King and comes back after “a year and a day” to his room, where he finds his mother has left him his dinner, “and it was still warm.” 

So lets find out who Maurice Sendak was. A Gemini, born June 10 1928  in Brooklyn New York.I have no exact birth time so have set up his chart on a “natural house” system with Zero degrees Aries as the Ascendant.

A Gemini born with Venus conjunct the Sun. Venus is the Goddess of Art, and the North Node is also conjunct to Venus at 9 degrees of Gemini. Maurice’s highest spiritual goal was to communicate, that’s GEMINI. Gemini is the ever youthful, Peter Pan, puer archetype who never wants to grow up, who lives in Never Never land or any imaginative fantasy.

Gemini is ruled by Mercury the Messenger of the Gods, the sign rules all forms of communications and writing. Mercury also rules Virgo, and Sendak had his natal JUNO- symbol looks like a magic wand, some say a toilet brush, tsk tsk.  JUNO is an Asteroid Goddess, and her name symbolizes a specific FEMININE form of genius, which connotes the masculine form of said genius.

Mercury the ruler of Gemini is in Cancer,conjunct to Pluto Lord of the Underworld.

Another famed children’s book illustrator Art Spiegelman, interviewed and illustrated Sendak for a New Yorker article from 1993. In this article Sendak stated that

“CHILDHOOD is CANNIBALS and PSYCHOTICS vomiting in your mouth.” 

Art Speigelman Sendak

 A pretty heavy but totally bang on illustration of someone born with Mercury in Cancer, the sign of the mother, nurturing, food, receptivity, and Pluto the shadows, the death eaters, the power and control secret freaks. Dead on. Mortifying.

Sendak’s Moon was in very dreamy,imaginative Pisces, planet of all creators, chameleons,boundless. If this chart is correct then the Moon is in the 12th house, where Pisces naturally is, and shows how much of the family secrets, the Holocaust. Sendak was writing about and through in his works.

He was born with Neptune in a wide opposition to the Moon in Leo, sign of fame, leadership. Moon in Pisces is soft, feminine, vulnerable, compassionate, spirital, can be addictive type of personality. The Moon is also opposite JUNO, the genius in hard-working exacting, perfectionist, down to earth, analytical, world- server sign of Virgo. An exacting artist writer and illustrator, Sendak produced a huge body of work over his lifetime.

Leo is the sign of the child, role-playing, acting. Sendak was the King, staunch defender and champion of Youth,  especially strong-willed children, who would not bow down to authoritarian parents’ wills, for which he was both { GEMINI} applauded and maligned for.

Born with Uranus in early Aries in square to Mercury, giving him a revolutionary fighting energy in communications.

He has Mars, Aries ruler at 18 degrees in square to Pluto, Sendak must have been a very energetic person. Very powerful, a naturally aggressive person.Who would speak his mind.

in Jan of 2012 Sendak was interviewd on The Colbert report calling Colbert and idiot and tearing into Newt Gingrich saying: “ But Newt Gingrich is an idiot. … There is something so hopelessly gross and vile about him that it’s hard to take him seriously. So let’s not take him seriously.”

Here’s that interview:

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/newt-gingrich-stephen-colbert-maurice-sendak-where-the-wild-things-are-284871

Born with Jupiter and Chiron in Taurus this made him sensual, direct, probably a simple man in some ways, never far from his roots, strong, stubborn, a good earner, appreciates Art, Jupiter expands whatever sign its’ in. Venus rules Taurus so again we’re back to Venus patroness of the arts in child-like Gemini, the sign of the twin soul.

Last but not least SATURN, representing the father, is opposite Venus, Sendak’s Sun and his north node, at 15 degrees of  Sagittarius Retrograde.

Sendak said his dad was one of his early inspirations for writing children’s books. Saturn Retrograde is a karmic signature. Not shown on the chart is Sendak’s South Node, his past at 9 degrees of Sagittarius conjunct Saturn. 9 degrees of Sagittarius in Tropical Western Astrology is exactly on the Fixed Star Antares, in the Sidereal constellation of Scorpio, whose name means rival of Mars because of its huge size and red color,and also denotes the Angel Uriel.

I’d say that Sendak was a great military warrior in a past life, who may have misused power { SCORPIO} who came into this life to repay a debt to the world by following his North Node conjunct to Venus,by being an artist warrior and communicator brandishing his pen and ink in defense of the innocent child, who couldn’t speak up and defend himself as much before Sendak came along to initiate and liberate the rights of the child to express his or her power, will and that which grown ups have banished to their own unconscious state, the freedom of self-expression so that the child can express all their feelings fully, safely.

The planet Uranus is exactly where it was when Sendak was born. He was experiencing his Uranus return and he left this world quickly, a Uranus energy from a heart attack. Chiron, the Wounded healer is exactly at 9 degrees of Pisces in exact square to Sendak’s North and South nodes.  Mars is also directly opposite Sendak’s Moon and in square aspect to his Nodes. Pluto Lord of death is also opposite to Sendak’s Mercury in Cancer. All of these planets show fateful indications.

Sendak left a great legacy. Children will continue to read identify with and appreciate Sendak’s Where the Wild Things are and many of his other books for always.

P.S. Sendak was gay, and lived with his partner, psychoanalysts Dr. Eugene Glynn for over 50 years till his death in 2007.  He never told his parents. Sendak said “All I wanted was to be straight so my parents could be happy. They never, never, never knew.”He didn’t want to upset them. There is certainly many what I would call hermaphroditic influences in his natal chart, Gemini, Venus, Saturn opposition, lots of Cancer Mother,  moon in Pisces feminine energy.Pluto in Cancer, family skeletons, secrets. Can you tell if someone is gay from their astrology chart?  There would be indicators to be sure.

It’s very intersting here that I get to “know” people through their astrolology charts. I reallly enjoy doing these memorializing astrology write-ups.

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.

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

 

U.S. Sebt crisis Aug 2, 2011

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  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.   x marks the spot

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 10th 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?

What’s the interest on 12, trillion for 80 years at what %?

Nuclear Plant Meltdown and PLanet X Influences by Tara Greene

NUCLEAR POWER PLANT MELTDOWNS,  FUK U SHIMA indeed!

Copyright Tara Greene 2011- infinity

 

PLanet X Nibiru

is Planet X the comet Eleni/ Nibiru?

 

Japan so known for its meticulous diligence in quality control, robot technology, the highest quality technology is shown to be frail, insufficient, and critically failing at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plants after the devastating earthquake and Tsunami which struck March 11. Even tif they manage to get the power up and going now, much radiation has escaped and this affects the world. If they can’t stop it and 4 reactors go into meltdown this is a critical disaster for Japan and will affect the rest of the world.  

NUCLEAR MELTDOWN FEARS FUEL CHANGES 

Nuclear energy, which is Planet Pluto’s realm-DEMOTED OR NOT- is being squared by a Retrograde Saturn at 15 degrees of Libra.  That’s a karmic pay back time folk. 

But wait, there’s a Big Back story 

When the tsunami hit and I first heard of the Nuclear power plant failure at Fukushima- no pun intended- I looked up Pluto’s discovery chart.  

The discovery of Pluto, Lord of the Underworld, Death and Rebirth, Power and Secrets happened as a presage to the splitting of the atom and the U.S. racing against Germany to be the first to use the unfathomable power which they would unleashed for use in warfare. Einstein was appalled. 

The interesting coincidence is that on Feb 18 1930 in Flagstaff Arizona at 4:00 pm when Pluto was first discovered by Clyde Tombaugh who had set out to find Planet X.

Very very powerful interesting synchronicities, almost 71 years later.  71 years in itself is significant as it takes a star 72 years to move 1 degree.

The Sun was at 29 degrees of Aquarius- exactly where Neptune and Ceres are right now. Remember that Neptune takes    years for one orbit. 29 degrees of Aquarius is a Critical degree and opposite Fixed Star Regulus at 29 degrees of Leo- the Lion’s Heart. Also known as the Archangel Raphael’s X  marking spot in Heaven.  

Venus was at 2 degrees of Pisces exactly where Chiron is right now as well. @ degrees of Pisces is also conjunct to the Fixed Star Fomalhaut aka Archangel Gabriel’s marking star.

The birth of Pluto had a Neptune Venus in Virgo/Pisces opposition in it. Always a sense of illusion, karma, hidden things, self-undoing as befits Pisces. Venus conjunct the Sun is of course in the 8th house which is always considered to be Scorpionic- all about death, power, secrets, control, money. 

Saturn was at 8 degrees of Capricorn then, and Pluto is now March 2011 at 7 degrees and change of Capricorn.  Saturn and Pluto are very powerful planetary energies.  See further below- for upcoming intensities of Saturn Uranus Pluto and more! Coming up shortly.

Japan 8.9 Earthquake/Tsunami,Uranus’s critical entry exit point,Eclipse factors and more by Tara Greene astrology

8.9 Eathquake/Tsumani  is Uranus’s 29th critical degree good-bye to Pisces

 THE GODS {PLANETS} MOVE AND WE FEEL IT 

Uranus @ 29 degrees PISCES {OCEANS} = 8.9 Magnitude quake and Tsunamis in Japan March 11 @ 2:46 pm Local Tokyo time. Why? How? 

Uranus the planet symbolizes sudden change, cataclysmic unexpected events. Uranus is at that very last degree of Pisces, sign of the Oceans.  

The 29th, called the {anaretic} or critical degree, last degree of any sign, is called that because a planet leaving the last degree is attempting to digest all of that entire sign, at 29.59.59 of intense energy at once, it’s like having all the energies of the sign compacted and smushed together into one symbolic tiny degree. The pressure is immense! The next degree Zero is also considered critical, as it is all brand new, a clean slate. 

THE NORTH NODE { considered to be the public’s highest spiritual conscious and emotional state} also just passed the 29th degree of Sagittarius on March 8th- see more about this critical degree as it was where the Sun was opposite to n the TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE DEC 21, 2010 re-triggering that point!

The Dec 21, 2010 Total Lunar Eclipse at 29 degrees 21 minutes of Gemini, with the Sun opposite in Sagittarius is moments away from opposing the Winter Solstice ingress point of ZERO degrees of Capricorn, the “world point.”

29 degrees of Gemini, the Lunar eclipse degree is conjunct The North Star. The Sun at 29 degrees+ of Sagittarius is connected to the Galactic Centre at 27 degrees+ of Sagittarius, that famous Dec 21 2012 date. – see more below

ECLIPSES and Shadows trigger wordly events

note the eclipse shadow as it falls over Japan

Lunar Eclipse over Japan Dec 21 2010

Lunar eclipse path cast shadow over Japan Dec 21 2010

I think the eclipses are more powerfully related to earthquakes, tsunamis etc. as potential power triggers. Traditionally eclipses were always seen as harbingers of bad luck, ill omens, the dragon eating the sun or moon. Of course solar end Lunar eclipses happen on average of 4 times per year. Old superstitions before people understood what eclipses really were about. Still, where the eclipse shadows falls on the earth are the places most affected.  

MARCH 11,today Uranus enters ARIES @ 4:54 pm PST entire new cycle

March 12 @ 00:54 am GMT    March 12 9:54 am Tokyo time. 

Uranus has sent literally and lethal shock waves out from the ocean’s depths and created cataclysmic damage to people and property in Japan and threatens many nations in the Pacific rim put on hi alert for dangerous tsunamis.  

Uranus in Pisces since 2003 has brought us the massive Phi Ket Tsunamis in Thailand 2004,Hurricane Katrina 2005, earthquakes in China, India, flooding in Pakistan 2010, Peru, etc. Pisces the last sign of the entire Zodiac is watery and karmic. Pisces symbolizes the end of life, the waters of life, the Oceans from which all life emerged from, the wombs of our mothers.  

In Ancient Astrology Jupiter is the Ruler of Pisces. Jupiter enters Aries the Fiery First sign, the Sign of martial warfare, defences, action, and initiation on Jan 22 2011 when the Egyptian protests were starting. So we can see already how planets entering Aries the 1st sign initiates aggressive new change in whatever planetary form it takes.  

With Uranus entered Aries the 1st sign for the first time in 84 years and I must prophesy again how Uranus was in Aries in the 1929 Stock market crash. Uranus in Cardinal sign Aries is now moving in to Square PLUTO in Capricorn and oppose SATURN in Cardinal Libra, This is a somewhat heavy angled aspect called a T-SQUARE. T as in tension, TROUBLE with a capital T and that rhymes with P and that stands for PLANETS!!!

Neptune, ruler of Pisces in modern times was called Poseidon. He was one of the three main Greek brothers who were the Big Boys of Gods, so to speak.

Zeus, aka Yahweh, is at the very top; he is symbolized by the royal purple of Jupiter. Uranus was the ruler of the sky.

The God of the Underworld is Pluto {Hades} Lord of death and Rebirth.

Poseidon is also known as THE EARTH SHAKER.  

NEPTUNE ruler of Pisces is also at the critical 29th degree at 29 degrees 11 minutes of AQUARIUS, Uranus’s Sign. And Uranus is at 29, 57 degrees of Pisces.

These two planets are in what’s called mutual-reception and have been for most of last year. They work easier together, they are hosting one another. 

Gee it wouldn’t have been hard to predict this event at all now would it have been. If only the Presidents and meteorologists, dictators, Kings and Queen’s went to their astrologers as they did for thousands of years perhaps some suffering could be alleviated. 

SUPER MOON CAUSE of Earthquake?

Astrologers are using the term Super Moon which astrologer Richard Nolle coined to indicate when the Moon is closest to the earth thus affecting the tides, tectonic plates etc. most powerfully. On Feb 18, March 19 and April 18 Super Moons all fall on Full moons for this year making them even more powerful. 

BUT WAIT THERE MORE!… 

CHIRON, comet known as the WOUNDED HEALER, has just re-entered Pisces on Feb 8th. Chiron is now at 2 degree of Pisces. The day of the BP deep water rig blow up in the gulf April 22 2010 was the day that Chiron entered Pisces. And by the way Saturn was at 29 degrees of Virgo on that day too. 

I am also sorry to hear of human losses and devastation to land oceans, eco –systems.  

Prophesies of Earth Changes have been coming for over 30 years. Edgar Cayce America’s “sleeping prophet” described this years ago. Oh so Cayce’s prophecies didn’t happen on the Eclipse in 1999 but timing for this type of events is always difficult things change.  

We are seeing the oceans, the earth re-act with more and more magnitude. Is the Earth trying to tell us something? The planets Jupiter, Venus etc. are like her sister and brothers. They are sending us their encoded messages if we but only be aware and alert enough to heed the call before it’s too late.

 

WONDERLAND opens everywhere March 9 2011. Astrology updates by Tara Greene

WONDERLAND BEGINS, 4 real as WE COLLECTIVELY go down the RABBIT HOLE in the year of the rabbit ding! ding!

Major new Cycles begin March 9  End of the last cycle of the Mayan calendar begins

 UNITY CONSCUIOUSNESS,  + March11 Uranus enters Aries copyright by Tara Greene 

March is one heck of a busy month, we are set to boldly go where no one has travelled before, or not since 16 billions years or so with major long-term placements happening. Hold onto your hats and get ready to jump. And remember to bring some carrots will ya Doc? 

March 9 is the beginning of Universal underworld the “end” of the Mayan calendar

 The Mayan Calendar, like the God/dess is a circle whose center is everywhere and the circumference is nowhere.” To paraphrase a famous Greek. We are beginning the final wave of human consciousness today! The Mayan calendar, which is popularized as 2012, is not a calendar as we understand it. It is a sacred reckoning, a philosophical spiritual time line of evolution of consciousness in the Universe. The Mayan calendar.

 According to Carl Johan Calleman, a biologist who become a Mayan scholar, the ancient texts describing the birth of the universe, and includes 9 waves or underworlds that bring forth 9 levels of consciousness.These levels reflect an acceleration of time.

9 stages of Mayan consciousness

Mayan Pyramid Mayan calendar

The 1st level begins with the “big bang” or Big bubble” 16.4 billion B.C.

The 2nd wave begins 819,998,000 B.C. with the first stirrings of life

The 3rd wave began 41,000,000 years ago. Dinosaurs,

The 4th wave began 2,050,000 years ago. First human like beings.

The 5th wave began 102,000 years ago. Early civilizations, Lemuria, Atlantis.

The 6th wave began 5,125 year ago, the age of Egypt’s reign, beginning of Judaism? Greek Golden age, Guttenberg, Renaissance,

The7th wave began in 1755, French & American revolution, Age of reason, science, Industrial revolution, atomic age,space age, feminism, INternet

The 8th wave began Jan 5 1999 beginning the present millennium, 9-11, 1st black U.S. president,

9th and final waves begin March 9 2011.

In each cycle time or consciousness runs 20 times faster than the previous one.

And the end of this huge 16 billion year evolutionary cycle ends Oct. 28 2011. 

Think about it as the dance of the 7 veils, with each veil dropped we achieve greater awareness, consciousness, enlightenment. 

In numerology Number 9 is the number of completion. In the Tarot it is symbolized by THE HERMIT. Buddhist believe there are 9 levels of consciousness, Dante wrote of 9 circles of hells,Classically 9 choirs of angels, etc. 

So today we enter the beginning of the final rush to UNITY consciousness, this is end the alpha & the Omega. We can see and feel time moving faster and faster information moves instantaneously. We are all interconnected and I had felt in the early 90;s that we had to invent the Internet so wed have a physical read 3D model of out actual telepathic concrescence to validate that for ourselves. Terrence McKenna wrote about what he labelled TIME WAY ZERO mixing the Mayan calendar with the Ancient Chinese oracle of the I Ching and correlating the hexagrams with the calendar creating a computer programme which “ended in Dec 21 2012 with total NOVELTY.

Terrence McKenna's I Ching Mayan prophecy system

Time wave zero- I ching and Mayan calendar coinciding

 

We are moving into light-speed transformation Now. The old system of consciousness till exists, but it will be transformed as each one of us allows the

Conscious ness to change us. We are all losing our religions as REM prophesied, It’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine.

 

Time Wave zero Baby Boomers - 2012

Time Wave Zero- wave/particle consciousness shifts

We will know longer know ourselves as egos isolated alone, alienated from each other, we will recognize out Oneness. Ekhart Tolle, Byron Katie, Oprah, etc.

we are becoming THE FOOL. The ought/ zero.

The Fool in the tarot is Zero. the beginning the Alpha, the  Soul, ZERO is abstract, the circle is eternal,

like God, the Mayan calendar. We are retruning to our original state of innocence, trust, Be like children said Jesus. we are returning to that innocent, state we are retrunign to our source. Oneness.

the circle, the stone circles of the druids, eternity, the great maw,the Galactic Center.

 

the fool innocence, trust, soul, eternity

The fool is Enlightened allready,

Things will never be the same. Be extremely mindful of every thought you think every feeling, every word and deed . It is time to be loosed from the veils of illusion and freed. 

People who have been working consciously on themselves, the Baby boomers who are now in late 60’s early 70’s like Bob Dylan, the Beatles,Ram Das, early technicians of the sacred, Stuart Brand, Stanislav Grof, and the Indigo children who were born since the 50;s have achieved veryhigh levels of non-ego awareness and are committed to the spiritually conscious way of life, for being spiritual metaphysical messengers. Working with their communities, developing new paradigms there are  so many I can’t list them all here.

Since the first official consciousness raising worldwide event the Harmonic convergence of Aug 16-17 1987 think about how far and how fast We’ve gotten to now.

 So be prepared for Quantum Leaps INTO worlds you may have only glimpsed and not even imagined yet.Expect miracle everyday and no-limitations. You will experience things you may have only sensed in dreams and even the totally unimagined, we are going Collectively down the rabbit hole in the year of the rabbit!!!!!  Alice in Wonderland re-imagined by Tim Burton in 2010 is a huge portend and an archetypal prophesier of the collective consciousness shifts upon us.  Facing the Jabberwocky dragon, no matter how small weak, ill fitted or prepared is what we al have to do. We are all Alice in the looking glass, needing to fight out fears, to become self- autonomous. I believe there is a movie called down the rabbit hole using Quantum Physics as the metaphor for this mirror world.

 Astrologically the planets are corresponding to the Mayan system somewhat.. 

Uranus the planet of Revolutionary Higher consciousness enters ARIES March 11

Beginning a brand new 84-year cycle Uranus has been at the 29 th degree of Pisces, the last critical degree in a whole karmic round Uranus’s revolutionary impulses and its square to the Galactic Center for most of 2011 is shown as the sudden revolutionary urge for freedom in Egypt, Tunisia Libya, Yemen etc. Uranus was in early aries during the Great Depression in 1929. 

Neptune the planet of Spirituality bliss, oneness, enters its’ home sign of Pisces 4/04/011 

When a planet is passing through its home sign it is at its most powerful, it’s just like you, at home!Uranus when it entered its ruling sign of Aquarius in 1995 is when the Internet really took off.Uranus has been transiting Pisces and Neptune has been transiting Aquarius for the last few years binging what’s called mutual reception.Enabling Uranian technology to make us all totally interconnected and conscious of each other’s words instantaneously allowing for revolutions to start from tweets etc.  Neptune will enture Pisces in 2011 and back into Aquarius Aug 6th it won’t finally enter Pisces until 2012

Neptune takes 164 years to orbit the sun. Neptune has been at the pint it was discovered at 25 degrees of Aquarius for most for 2010. Neptune was the first planet discovered by mathematical deduction. So for us earthlings we are having our 2nd birthday consciously of Neptune. Traditionally Jupiter was the ruler of Pisces. Jupiter is in Aries for most of 2011 indicating a new cycle in action from that spiritual dreamy space.

Dream work is going to become extremely popular; telepathy is going to start just happening everywhere. You will not be able to eat that hamburger anymore without sensing the poor animals life which has been so cruelly treated, used, killed, objectified, used so selfishly for greed.  Our ancestors would always thank any life it took because then the animal had sacrificed itself in order to come into a participation mystique a sacred communion with a human life.

So be prepared, as you may feel overwhelmed when all the false bridges between minds come toppling like a great string of dominoes.

There will be a lot of craziness too. As those egos will be naked, unsupported, outcast, ghosts, like cast off fashions, as fast as John Galliano was fired after being caught saying love Hitler, that’s the way it is going to be everywhere! So better get on your knees bous and start redeeming yourselves.

There will be no place to hide, no foxhole, no island. Only a pure and tender heart, and a clear conscience. 

Chiron, the wounded healer is in Pisces Feb 9 where it will stay for the next 8 years.

The only healing is through spiritual healing, compassion, forgiveness, and act as Jesus acted, as the Buddha taught, cast no stones, love thy neighbour. There won’t be an Armageddon, though lots of tyrants like old Gaddafi there will end up committing suicide as his tyrannical insane regime dies.

Smaller cycles: 

LOVE:  Venus in AQUARIUS March March 1st – March 26

Venus Goddess of love, values, money, arts, beauty In Airy revolutionary Aquarius open sour hearts to humanitarian ideals, freedom, innovation, So out with that old stale stodgy relationship or reinvent it. 

ACTION: Mars is in Pisces from Feb 22- APRIL FOOL’S day

Mars in Pisces simmers the testosterone down, heights emotions, defences can go up to protect very tender underbellies, Mars is what we fight for, what we die for, where we are the most deluded, where we are most under the illusion of the macho- see Gaddafi Or Charlie Sheen’s meltdown from drugs, delusions, truth. Pisces is the last sign, on Bliss, oneness, karma; Mars in Pisces is defending the last stand And we can see the event in Libya being mirrored here now. 

The True North Node in Sagittarius March 3- 2012

A new  higher truth 1.5 year cycle of consciousness begins when the North Node of the Moon {The Dragon’s head or Rahu in Vedic Astrology} shows what the collective consciousness is open to. In Sagittarius it is all about expansion of truth, of higher learning of guidance from the Master Teachers in esoteric teachings Jupiter ruler of Sagittarius and of Pisces traditionally, is the home of the Master Teachers. We will collectively be seeking out highest truth, being honest, transparent.  In search of spiritual law sacred law not man made law. From what I understand, the Mayan’s mythology believes that souls emanate from and return to Source.

Through the Galactic Centre, a huge black hole 23 million Light years away but clearly visible as a dark rift, a “cosmic vagina” at the Centre of our Milky Way Galaxy.

This space was and is seen as the birthplace. Doorway to birth and death for all of us. It is our home and destination. In other words it is attuning to the highest Source, it is Feminine in Nature. We are now 1.5 years from the famous Mayan Dec 21 2012 date. It is like the Hebrew Ain Soph Aur the unknowable God/dess head the  “darkness that is all Light.”

At Spring Equinox the North node aligns with the Galactic Center 27 degrees of Sagittarius tropical astrology. 

Almost anything can happen, anywhere anytime. Be at peace within yourself.

Meditate ont he true nature of the selfless Self. See you self everywhere.  You are the Beloved, we are evolving to this place whenwe can turn around and see OURSELF everywehere.

Well its been along  journey,16 Billion years,but really only a blink of an eye.

Are you a particle or are you a wave?

Now what?    

I leave you with the lyrics to Talking Heads David Byrne’s song

Time isn’t holding us,  time isn’t after us, Time isn’t holding us, time doesn’t hold you back

Time isn’t holding us, time isn’t after us, Time isn’t holding us,

Letting the days go by,

Same as it ever was, same as it ever was,

Same as it ever was, same as it ever was.

TORONTO FUNDRAISER Sat Feb 5

Aquarius New Moon Feb 2-3 

All the planets are bunched together in a very tight basic 90 degrees configuration all in the higher evolutionary signs- Venus is at 28 degrees of Sagittarius RIGHT ON THE GALACTIC CENTER on the New moon. Values are Inter Galactic large open. Chiron is at 29 critical degrees of Aquarius. The furthest ahead planet is Jupiter at 2 degrees of Aries exactly pressuring the North Node at 2 degrees of Capricorn. Pressure to grow, change the old established ways of power and authority-i.e. Egypt’s revolution perfectly fit this ocnfiguration.

SATURN SINGING “ALL BY MYSELF” in Libra.

The only planet all by his lonesome is stalwart Saturn, silver haired and in his exalted state at 17 degrees Retro of Libra. The only other main planet is Asteroid Juno at 28 degrees Rx. of Virgo, she is opposite Uranus and Jupiter. A T- Square of dynamic proportions urging new revolutionary changes, Feminine wisdom- Juno is the feminine form of Genius, which meant an exclusively male form of Genii. Yes we need this particular location now. Saturn is asking us to stand back and access the situation with a cool Hand Luke kind of Paul Newman gaze and rebalance rebalance rebalance.

Feb 3 MERCURY ENTERS AQUARIUS  @ 2:19 pm PST It’s GENIUS THINK TIME till March 9

Communications, the idea bank, the big picture, group thinking gets bigger higher broadband freer, way out there and more expansive while Mercury is  in Airy Aquarius. Think of yourself wearing Mercury’s groovy winged hat, those fab matching winged sandals and carrying that cadeusus.

VENUS ENTERS CAPRICORN  FEB 3 @ 9:59 pm PST– March 2nd

Venus leaves fiery sag behind her and dons her brogues and all business suit. Values, money, women’s issues, arts, relationships, love gets very practical and all biz. Just the facts ma’am. Budgetary cuts lean thinking, cutting off excess,Hard work, corporate hierarchies, older women, Female seniority, Crones, are the memes of the day with Venus in Capricorn. Committed relationships, attracted to older others,

WATER, major issue as CHIRON Re-ENTERS PISCES again FEB 8 12:10 PM PST for 7 YEARS!!!!

This is a long-term major cycle. Chiron briefly touched his toe into Oceanic Pisces April 19- July 20 in 2010. The first day of Chiron in Pisces the Deep water HORIZON BP OIL rig blew and spilled unknown tons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico creating one of the worst eco-disasters ever. So expect more of the same as Chiron is the Wounded Healer, in Pisces he will stick his finger symbolically in wherever we are wounded, vulnerable, sore, covering up, in denial of. We are 70-% water. So is the earth.

We need to drink many litres of pure quality life renewing litres of water each day to stay alive. It is the 2nd most important life-giving nutrient after air. Water resources will be a major scarcity issue. The oceans, purifying sea water, energy from the oceans, new life forms, who owns what around water. Dying oceanic life forms as well, no more fish left in the seas, whales doplohins, extinctions. Not good for us humans at all.

PISCES is also the sign of religion,spirituality the arts,

OLD fashioned religion is on its way out. Despite religious fundamentalists, fanatics the old religious games are ending. Teh Church will lose its power, more and more people are cecoming pagan, discovering yoga, other forms of imminent religous experiences,not authoritative religions. Did I mention Pisces rules drugs?  Allready very big- touted by Daniel Pinchbeck, Terrrence McKenna et all - ayahuasca and San Pedro two South American indiginous medicine plants will gain huge followings as ways of  directly experiencing other realities,used for religious cermeonies.

Art will become more of a spiritual vehicle. Colours will be softer greens and blues, more subtle, sensitive.  Neptune rules Pisces and it in turn rules OIL, It is the end of OIL as Pisces is the last of the signs. We are reaching the end of an era on oil dependence over the next 7 years. Pisces is also escapism, Hollywood, film and photography, addictions, viruses, ashrams, karma. Chiron also known, as Soul tenderizer will stick it to each and every one of us dealing with our own karmic issues, our addictions, our martyrdom, and our victim hood.

Hollywood itself will go through another upheaval in entertainment, direct mind to mind entertainment, dream recall.  Inception is the prophetic film released with Chiron in Pisces.  The danger is mass escapism into mindless drugging, as the consciousness gets higher and more refined and a lot of “Sheeple” are afraid.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST MAYAN CALENDAR RECKONING  The 9TH WAVE BEGINS SOON

We are on an evolutionary turning point this year. Almost at the last day in the Mayan Dr. Calleman reckoning which begins  MARCH 9 2011. There’s only  234 days to complete the UNITY WAVE, the final approach to ONENESS CONSCIOUSNESS. THis is the alternative to Dec 12 2012 MAyan calendar date. There are a few schools of thought on this cycle and how consciousness is expanding at faster and faster rates. Over the last 16 BILLION years, we are now at the last level. Time as we experience it, is now 20 x’s faster than it was only a few years ago. Dnt you feel it? Information is definitely whats moving faster.

According to Carl Calleman the 9th wave of evolution ends 10/28/1 1

Awesome consciousness awakenings are beginning everywhere! Time to wake up!!!!

I am here to help assist you.

Imbolc,Candlemas,St. Brigid’s Day,Groundhog Day Feb 1-2 Tara Greene rituals

Feb. 1st –2nd IMBOLC Traditional Irish and Pagan Holiday Celebrations

 

 

 

Traditionally what we modern Westerners know as Groundhog Day was and is, on Feb 1st or 2nd is celebrated in the Modern Irish Calendar as Saint Brigid’s Day,or Bride’s Day. Both a Catholic and an ancient Pagan Celebration,an ancient Goddess tradition, also called Imbolc, still celebrated by Wiccans/Pagan based Earth honouring religions. Christians overlaid the Ancient Goddess worshipers’ holiday renaming it Candlemas or the fest of the Purification of the Virgin. This celebration also relates to the midpoint between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox.

It is a “cross-quarter” day in the 8 rounds of the Wheel of Time in the Solar based year. Since the Celtic Year was based on both lunar and solar cycles, it is most likely the holiday would be celebrated on the Full Moon nearest those 2 midpoints, when early spring flowers would begin to rise up through the snow, and snakes would come out of the ground. This is the precursor of the Groundhog, which the Romans replaced with a Hedgehog, which we… On Feb. 2nd this year there is a NEW MOON IN AQUARIUS at 12:45 am EST.
That Ancient peoples of Ireland kept this day as very sacred. At the Megalithic and Neolithic sites, such as the Loughcrew burial mounds and the Mound of the Hostages in Tara, Ireland, the inner chambers of the passage tombs are perfectly aligned with the rising sun of both Imbolc and Samhain attesting to the value placed on this day.

Triple Goddess/Saint Brigid/Bride

She is according to Robert Graves, the most Ancient Triple Goddess worshipped since time out of mind. The Goddess rules over scholars and poets. She is the Goddess of fire and inspirations in Ireland, the Goddess of poetry, creativity, smithcraft and healing. She also rules healing with water, and divination. She is said to rule over people who work with cows and chickens, brewers, fugitives, midwives, infants, printers, sailors, travelers, New Zealand, & Irish nuns. This day symbolizes a time of transitions, initiations, new beginnings, of planting seeds that will sprout later. Brigid/Birgita represents the light half of the year,Her power brings the people out of the dark season of winter into spring, so, it is a very important time of the year.

She is the Goddess of Augury

In the Druidic tradition, poetry and augury were associated. She is patron of prophets and seers.

Celtic seers divined by looking into deep water and into flames. This is a great time to do divination. STare at a candle, a fireplace with conscious intention. Call upon Brigid to come to you.

Triple Goddess

She has two sisters with the same name. One aspect of her carries a blacksmith tongs and a sword, because she is also patroness of war; another aspect holds 2 healing snakes, from which the modern Doctor’s symbol is derived, the caduceus, the third aspect carries a wand with a crescent moon and a tablet.

Elements

Brigid rules the Waters. Many healing springs are dedicated to Brigid. Natural bodies of water also signify Her presence, particularly where three streams joined together. She also rules Fire, so it is customary to make candles for the coming year and bless them on this day.

Protecting Goddess

In her aspect as Brigantia, she carries a spear, an orb of victory, and wears a war crown. She symbolizes protection of the country from invaders and slavery.

Midwives

As Patroness of Midwives, she was invoked at the door of the home where the woman was giving birth, by the midwife. Who speke:

Bride, Bride, come in! Thy welcome is truly made, Give thou relief to the woman, And give thou the conception to the Trinity.

Brigid is the guardian of every newborn, their cradles protected with a woven Brigit’s Cross, an equal armed cross. Upon a safe delivery, the infant was blessed or “sained” by the midwife, with 3 drops of water on the child’s forehead, dedicating the Child to the Triple Goddess. The “Holy Trinity” in its modernized Christian aspect, was just an overlay of the Goddess Triple Aspect since time out of memory. A candle was carried ‘round the bed sun wise three times. As Brigid is a Solar Goddess. We think of the Sun as masculine but originally all aspects of the Universe were considered Feminine.

Brigid Ruler of the Hearth

Especially in Gaelic Scotland, Brigid’s dolls are placed near the hearth on her Feast Day. The doll is usually dressed in white, decorated. A white wand is placed in her bed as a fertility charm. As she is patroness of agriculture, pastures, livestock, and abundance. An offering is made to her of dairy products. The Brigid doll is kept throughout the year near the hearth hung on a wall, or by a door, as a talisman of protection, then burnt the next year.

Light a Candle and Invoke the Goddess at this time-

I kindle this candle in the name of Brighid, Goddess of Smiths,

I sain this house in the name of Brighid, Goddess of Healers,

I smoor this candle in the name of Brighid, Goddess of Poets.

One folk tradition still continues in both Christian and Pagan homes on St. Brigid’s Day is that of St. Brigid’s Bed. Girls and young unmarried women create corn dollies to represent Brigid, these are adorned with ribbons, baubles shells or stones. A bed is made for the doll to lie in. On St. Brigid’s Eve Jan 31, the girls gather together in one house and stay up all night with the doll, are are later visited by all the young men, who ask permission to enter the home, and then treat the young maidens and the dolly with respect. The next day the girls carry the doll through the neighbourhood from house to house, where she is welcomed with great honour. Adult women stay home to welcome the Brigid procession and offer snacks and coins to the young girls and maidens.

Brigid is said to walk the earth on Imbolc eve. Feb 1st. Before going to bed, each member of the household may leave a piece of clothing or strip of fabric outside for Brigid to bless. The cloth are brought inside the next morning, believed to now have the powers of healing and protection.

BRIGID is alive and well.

The name “Britain” is a derivation of Brigit’s name. Britain was named for an ancient Celtic tribe, the Brigantes, who were the largest Celtic tribe in the country in pre-Roman times who worshipped Her as their Deity. The tribe originated from an area now called Bregenz in Austria near Lake Constance. The word “brigand” comes from this tribe of fierce warriors. Her symbol is a flaming spear. Her worship spread, leaving behind places named in Her honour-Brittany in France, Brechin in Scotland, the name Brent, in England, any name containing Bride. Britain’s symbol, the Goddess Brigantia, still found on their 50 cent coin is Brigid in her aspect as Goddess of the Land. In Old German/Yiddish the word “Fabrent” meaning burnt honours this Ancient Goddess. Of course Britany Spears is carrying the modern archetype of Brigid, and strangely enough one of Brigid’s symbols is a flaming spear!

A Sample of prayers used at St. Bridgid’s Day

Light 1 candle-

We gather together in this time of darkness. We look to the return of the light.

We look to the first light of Spring.

(Light two more candles.)

Goddess Midwife: Healer, Nurturer, and Herbalist.

Goddess Poetess: Bringer of Wisdom, Guidance and Prophesy.

Goddess Smithcraft: Keeper of Fire, Craftswomen, and Transformation.

Maiden, Mother, and Crone – A Triple Goddess.

Her symbols are Brigid’s cross, the flaming arrow, Brigid’s bed.

It was customary to write wishes upon scraps of cloth

and tie them to the bushes near her sacred wells.

This is Her Time of Year, a very special moment.

Her day is the Second of February,

A day upon which to seek wisdom from inside the Earth.

In the time before Patrick, serpents were sent

because they dwell in both worlds, above ground and below.

In Christian Times, the serpent became a Groundhog.

Our lady is a goddess of many aspects: Crone, Matron,

but she is pictured most often as the maiden.

Chant: Welcome Brigid, Welcome Brigid (the burning arrow of the power – Bridgette)

(Candles are lit. Maiden Goddess appears.)

Brigid: Blessings of the season upon you, my People.

I am She, that is the natural mother of all things,

Mistress and governess of all the elements,

The initial progeny of worlds,

Chief of the powers divine,

Queen of all that are in the other world,

the principal of them that dwell above,

Manifested alone and under one form

Of all the Gods and Goddesses.

St. Brigid, celtic Goddess, Imbolc, Candlemas

Magic carpet,Mercury Retro.Neptune,2011 pedictions by Tara Greene

Persian Magical carpet, cat,

Persian magic carpet and magic cat

copyright Tara Greene 2010-infinity

Pets, always popular. Cat-o’ tonic. This beautiful cat appeared on  our front lawn when he was a kitten, July 4, 2010.  My daughter named him Prince. He smells like olives. I’ve had many a cat in my day but never found one that smelled of olives before. Someone thought he smelled like pizza. Something about this guy opens my heart. We have telepathic heart to heart transmisssions when he sits on my lap. He is very tender, a “licky” cat.

I have always wanted a Persian carpet. When in Istambul Turkey years ago I went to a real Persian carpet factory. I loved them. I put down a deposit but my parents were too cheap and too paranoid to trust that you could buy an authentic persian carpet and have it arrive in canada. So they had me ask for my money back much to my dismay. I did get the dollars back. Many years later still wanted a Persian carpet. I always imagined real flying carpets, the magic carpet ride.

As is often the case in my life, whilst on a totally other errand, I happen to stumble upon… an oriental rug store which was having a 75% off real sale. We fell in love with this one the cat is lying on. I am trying to validate its worth. We love it. It has very trippy kinda looks like a repeated pattern of a blue submarine. Look towards the cat’s tail for this detail.

The carpet is a wool hand knotted from Mashad Iran  carpet. 10 x 6 ft 7 ” It’s age? 10-30 years? Has some irregularities, pile is a bit uneven, one part of outside border was cut in the weaving. Anyone know anything about these types of carpets?

MERCURY RETROGRADE TIME AGAIN -DEC 10-30

I PREDICT lots of returns on an Xmas Holiday Retro. A sentimental old fashioned Xmas. Mercury started out at 5 degrees of Capricorn and will end at 19 degrees of Sagittairus. Will take till Jan 18 for Mercury to get back to Retro turning point again. Lots or re-visions to new Years resolutions.

ARE YOU SLEEPING LATELY? FEELING VERY WIRED? IT’S PLANETARY

I am feeling it and I am meeting lots of exhausted folks these days. I know it’s that Uranus/Jupiter conjunction making many a head spin. Its exhausting, don’t need no coffee in my cup. I feel very wired and cant sleep at night alternating tons of energy with deep exhaustion yet still keep perking. How long is it gonna last? Exacerbated by the Big Lunar ECLIPSE Winters SOLSTICE DEC 21 2010. -

see separate WINTER SOLSTICE page

 Till…JANUARY 22, 2011 when JUPITER ENTERS ARIES – note the 11,22,2011

Jupiter kicks off the shock of the New – Jupiter is hurtling through 3 signs this year! Unheard of!!! Time really is speeding up.

As the Mayan Calendar states we are in the 9th and LAST DAY! – according to Dr. Calleman  Mayan Scholar, the  Mayan calaendar ends a 16,000,000,000 year cycle count them zero’s on October 28, 2011 NOT Dec 21 2012!!!! Many Mayan Elders,  Tibetan Buddhist Monks and Inkan shamans are meeting to share their spiritual traditions Now in preparation.

 Jupiter moves from Pisces – a sign he co-rules, into Fire-y Aries and beyond into Earthy Taurus. Aries is elementally OK with Jupiters’s Saggy rulership.

ARIES is – “ME FIRST” – new life force, energy, Big, bold, beautiful, passionate, unsubtle, spontaneous, impulsive, impatient, independent, ruled by MARS, WARLIKE!!!, Amazonian, kick- ass start me up!!!

URANUS enters ARIES March 12, 2011 Let the Revolutions begin

Uranous is god of oceans traditionally, expect turbulence, hurricanes, violent weather. As the planet of weird – Uranus orbits at a 90 degree angle- bursts into Aries, creating a brand new cycle! It takes Uranus 84 years to make one complete circle. Freedom, independence, individualism, quirky, funky, groupy-like, humanitarian, big-picture thinking, freedom, higher consciousness, technology, inventions, non-egotistical leadership.

 Last time Uranus travelled through Aries was from 1927-1935. This was the Great Depression, Mein Kampf, Hitler, Stalin, Mao created the Communist party-poor old Mao must be turning over in his grave non-stop! This era also saw the first talking picture The Jazz Singer starring Al Jolson were just a few of the Uranian Aries sign posts.

April 4- 5 NEPTUNE enters PISCES!!!!!!! Brand new 165 year  cycle begins!

This is the beginning of total telepathy, compassion, oneness, acting as a unified species. I can see the barriers of individual consciousness breaking down like dominoes toppling one after the other. It will be awesome,and totally frightening to some who only are aware of their egos and can’t loosen its grip. 

Neptune was discovered on Sept 23, 1846, Neptune takes 165 years to make one complete revolution around the Sun to celebrate 1 birthday. It breaks down into four approximately 41 year quarters. 1887, 1928-1929, 1969 and now 2010-1011.  Do these dates stand out?  In 1887- severe winter, anarchist riots in Chicago. 1928-29  is the Great Depression, Stock Market crash. 1969 is of course the Hippie, Woodstock, Peace and Love,free love sex, revolution. 

In 2010 Neptune returned to its’ discovery position 26 degrees of Aquarius which is where it is right now!  In 1847 Neptune entered Pisces which is where it is “at home” in the sign it rules over. 

Celebrate NEPTUNE’S BIRTHDAY!  before it leaves Aquarius

It’s Neptune’s Birthday, has been for most of 2010. If you haven’t celebrated Neptune’s 1st birthday yet  better hurry up. There will be tons of drugging and drinking to be expected. Never attempt to drive yourself or anyone else home when inviting and celebrating Neptune as a guest. Expect to have/see stars in your eyes, fall instantly in love with your soul mate who may prove to be your soul/wrong who you have past life karmic issues to work out anyway so it really doesn’t matter.  Must have: fog machines, dry ice. An onsite photo booth.

A swimming pool, wading pool or veery large glasses.  Make it a spa type party.

Colour scheme blue and green. Ashram theme, decorate with pictures of gurus on walls.

Dress Code: Flowy, fabrics and dress robes, Biblical, new age, or Hollywood glam! Any costume or roll you choose, change wardrobe many times during the night, switch costumes with others.

Food: Sushi, seaweed, electric cool aid, ”Neptuni’s,”

Make films, show films, take an infinite amount of photos.

Gather in circles, do a spiral dance, the hora, sing peace songs, chant, wicca theme,

meditate together, ayahuasca ceremony, magic mushrooms, etc.

Eat no wheat, natural sugar substitute, non child labour produced, foods, eco-friendly factory prodcued yoghurt, natural cocoa nibs,  cakes and cookies.

Mood: dreamy, foggy, boundaryless, peacfull, all loving, forgiving, expect times of much crying and releasing, blissed out, free love, addictive, creative, boundless.

Yes this is just an inkling of the tribal new age mindset that’s comin down the pipes folks big time. All those hippies who were born and seeded in mid-late 60′s are gonna have to wake up themselves a nd re-evaluate what success in the world means. The revolution begins soon. “You ain’t seen nothin’ yet.”

This all occured to me spontaneously. All free form. I’m gonna have me a Neptune birthday party for sure. Tell your buds. Spread the word. I’ll keep ya posted.
