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.”

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:
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.
Nuclear Plant Meltdown and PLanet X Influences by Tara Greene
NUCLEAR POWER PLANT MELTDOWNS, FUK U SHIMA indeed!
Copyright Tara Greene 2011- infinity
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.
In that Birth chart shown – click on it to see larger
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.
Gabriel BLOWS THE TRUMPET ON JUDGEMENT DAY!
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
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.

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

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.
