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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Bulls were considered sacred to the Goddess.

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

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

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

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

 - 10 ways to worship the BULL

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

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

Taurus energy is Spirit grounding, It’s GUT INSTINCT

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

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

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

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

NEW MOON

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

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

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

You don’t  have to be a Taurus

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

Friday the 13th is a Triple Good Luck Chinese Dragon Day,get yours now by Tara Greene

Friday the 13th may be known for bad luck in the West but not this one. 

 The superstition originated with the Catholic Church declaring anything and everything associated with pagans, nature worshippers to be  turned upside down, like the image in the HANGED MAN  in the Tarot Cards and made evil.  In modern Western parlance we would say that the Catholic church is very PLUTONIC as they created THE DEVIL, they projected their own shadows and ideas of sinfulness. Goddess worshippers did not deny the body, sexual pleasure and everything that existed. The earth was still the Garden of Eden, there never was a fall or split and is still considered so by modern pagans as well as shamans in Peru and other places to this day.

13 is the number of Lunar cycles in a year. 13 is therefore associated with the Moon and all things Female and by extension, from the church’s point of view bad, sinful, dirty, wrong,scary. The Moon is,like the  MOON card in the Tarot, dreams, the dark, intuition, fear.  So thirteen represents a natural cycle and all original ancient religions were based on lunar calendars.

Chinese calendars are Lunar, as are  Jewish and Muslim calendars.

TODAY, Friday the 13th is the LUCKIEST day this year

 it is a DRAGON day, in a DRAGON month in a Golden DRAGON Year.

Meditation for 3 GOLDEN DRAGONS TRIPLE GOOD LUCK- copyright Tara Greene 2012- infinity TM

Use gold, wear it, if you have real gold, 22 k is best, the purer the better; jewellery of any kind, gold bars if you have them.

use golden or yellow candles. Wear gold or bright yellow colours;

get some saffron and infuse it into a tea, it turns into that gorgeous rich golden yellow. 

 get some yellow flowers, daisy’s, dahlia’s, daffodils, yellow roses

and some golden coloured honey, and or mead.

The ritual should consist of a breathing relaxing meditation, so put on your favourite relaxation music,

Firstly imagine a circle of golden light around you, this keeps you safe and protects you.

Begin by imagining 3 Golden dragons, if you can’t  visualize them, feel their hot golden breath, hear them snorting and flapping their golden wings,

then thank you to your ancestors, as is the Ancient tradition, and the intention of whom you want to benefit firstly,

All the riches, wealth, abundance that you wish for must come as a wish to help others first.. not for ego purposes,

Then imagine the three dragons all together breathe out a golden firy breath which appears above your head as a bright clear golden light. This golden light begins to pour into your body from the sky over your head,

 pouring down into your crown chakra, like liquid sweet sensuous honey,

feel that molten, not hot, golden light pour through your body,totally suffizing and permeating your entire physical body. You will feel lighter and lighter, richer and richer, as if you are glowing liek the Sun.

When you feel totally suffused with golden light.  Breathe out into the palm of your hand,and imagine

see and feel golden warm breath emanating from within you; hold that golden breath cloud in your palm,

The golden light will tranform in to a small golden dragon, the dragon will be placed where it wants to be

in your 3rd chakra, two finger widths below your navel, this is your personal place of power of Light.

Do the breathing of the golden breath 3 times in total, each time seeing the small golden dragon appear  in your palm

and each time place it into your 3rd chakra.

Those born in dragon years get the biggest benefits, but also if you’re a  rat or a  monkey you also benefit.

But it is good luck for all. My superstition says,play all the good luck  you can. It will always help.

INVOKE the triple golden dragon. 

 There will be more boon or beneficial days coming up.

 Drink some Golden Dragon Beer if you can find this, although explosive, will fit nicely into the Golden Dragon scheme

 

Revolutionary change. Advice on coping, love, the economy by psychic astrologer Tara Greene

I must say the energies are so tense right now. As a professional psychic I pick up on a lot of the world’s energies. Any sensitive psychic person would naturally do the same. R U Feeling confused? Should you stay or should you go? Bored with the same old same old?

This entire year that feeling most likely has something to do with the planet Uranus‘s energies. Uranus is the 1st “transpersonal” planet. The first to be discovered by modern technology. Uranus takes approximately 84 years to make one complete cycle. Uranus was in early Aries in 1927 just before the Great Depression. Women’s Liberation had just begun as woman won the vote in 1920 in America. Things were quite liberated, those was very high, loose times,breaking from older Victorian constrictions, there was big spending, new inventions, talking pictures, wild dancing, musicals.

We are returning to a higher octave of that last cycle now.  Uranus rules technology, inventions, revolution,freedom, individuality, collective consciousness, Higher consciousness, the Internet. Uranus’ energy is electric. It’s like a lightning bolt,akin to kundalini energy. We are all supposed to get a Bigger Higher picture that we are all unified and all one.

Uranus says stop being so anal.

A bad pun but it is true. Uranus energy liberates us from old restrictions.

We can certainly attest to the Uranian revolutionary energies in the news  all over the Arab world. Saudi women dare to drive!

Everyone has Uranus somewhere in their natal Western tropical chart and never mind the puns.. and in contact with other natal planets too. Uranus is the planet considered to rule the sign of Aquarius in modern astrology rulerships. 

 Uranus is associated with the symbol of THE STAR in the TAROT. # 17. The symbol shows the Goddess sometimes a God figure pouring down the waters of consciousness from the Heavens down onto the earth. Meditate on the image.

The Star # 17 Tara Greene Tarot reader uses this image as her signature

Uranus is now Retrograde at 2 degrees 55 of Aries and directly opposite Venus in Libra on Sept. 17. Uranus is a bolt out of the blue. Expect the unexpected in your relations and social situations.

Dont just think outside the box,

get rid of the box.

Venus of course rules women. But all things of beauty, the arts, socializing, romance, money, luxury. Need some change ups there? This opposition will make your love life hop!  Venus, now temporarily in Libra is bringing some temp. balance, some peacemaking but also indecision.

Cardinal Cross 2010-2012

Uranus in early cardinal signs squared by Pluto who just went direct today Sept 17 pressures the early degrees of all cardinal signs. Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. Pluto,although remoted as I call it, is still very powerful, the soul itself, The Shadow. We are deep into the Cardinal Cross aspect. Something’s gotta give. Resistance is futile.

Watch out for sudden outbursts that you don’t recognize as you. Do people seem to be acting rather out of character? Watch your money for Unexpected expenses. The economy will continue to be unstable. There’s cracks in the entire worldly financial and global corporate structures. Plutonian fascist government control is being seen in the light of day and the collective which Uranus also represents, Won’t take it anymore.

 Instability and changes in your income and assets will be the norm for everyone. So learn to ride the cosmic wave, Nothing ever has been very stable or certain, that was merely an illusion. We are waking up to reality which is multi-dimensional. Are you a particle or  a part of the wave?

 If you need sound guidance to gain some clarity and a breath of fresh air through Astrological advice for relationships or business, I am here to dance you through your Birth chart and guide you in a language you can easily understand.  Email me taragreene@sacredartscentre.com

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

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.
