May 1 May Day Beltane fire sex fertility earthy pagan celebration Astrology from Tara Greene
May Day is the ancient pagan Beltane fire celebration of the Maypole Dance, the phallic dance of fertility. Beltane fires are lit atop hilltops.
Revelers intertwine ribbons and dance around the MayPole. Traditionally masked young men and women would meet as strangers in the night, to mate,on the earth, in the bonfire shadows, to surrender to the natural desires of Spring,budding life and new passion running in their veins. Children conceived at Beltane were considered sacred and special and born around St. Brigid’s day, also a Fiery Goddess.
We are moving with the round of the year, May 1st marks the cross-quarter, half- way point between Spring and Summer Solstice now. The days are lengthening in the Northern hemisphere. Conversely, pagans are celebrating Halloween or Samhain down under, the Witches New year. It is the Day of the Dead in the southern Hemisphere and the fire festival of renewed life in the northern half.
Go with the flow, the natural flow or CHI of earth energy. Celebrate the renewed life force. You don’t have to be pagan to commune with the masculine life force rising.
The waxing Earthy Virgo Moon conjuncts Mars -@ 1:27 am PDT/ 4:27 am EDT to lend a perfect mirror.
There are more Grand Trines between Virgo Moon and Mars, Pluto in Capricorn and Sun in Taurus.
It’s an excellent time to conceive tonight, literally with the cosmic golden Triangles blessings, if not a physical child then any creative means of self-expression. Explore more soulful { PLuto} avenues of work and service {VIRGO} , and simply allow your body sense and feelings [ TAURUS} to walk your silent minded talk. Celebrate being in the BODY! MAke love, dance with passion around the bonfire!
I see May Day as the first day to a 5 day ceremonial uprising and celebration.
With the upcoming 5 5 5 , also Cinco de Mayo, Wesak, and an incredibly powerful once a year extra sexy Scorpio FULL MOON coming up
use MAY DAY as a synchronic potent fiery spirit initiation to ritually totally transform your life, in balancing completing and fullfilling YOU with the precious 5th element in your life.
So start May day DAY 1 – with honouring the FIRE element. It’s prefect! Fire= EAST, RED, passion, MARS, Phallic, beginnings
Asteroid Vesta enters Taurus at 12:48 pm Monday April 30
VESTA is associated with the keeper of the FLAME,of sexuality, passion as a HIGH PRIESTESS
Vesta, one of the first 4 Asteroids,is the hearth watching, focussed Goddess from Roman times whose name is - inVESTment, InVESTiture. You honour VESTA every time you put your money in the bank.
She was a VIRGIN in the original sense of being whole and complete unto Herself, needing to please no man.
Known as a Vestal Virgin, that is a Cathologized, like Pathologized, sanitized version of Her original highly revered sacred power, as a sex goddess. Vestals were originally Sacred prostitutes, hierodules, highly respected educated, free and property-owning women. All women once served in HER Goddesses temples before they could marry. The Priestesses served as embodiments of the Goddess herself and initiated and cleansed men who had been at war by engaging in sacred Tantric sex with them to purify their spirits and souls from the shedding of human blood before being allowed to reintegrate into normal cultural life. VEsta is here to hold the torch to light your way.
Watch my video about the NUMERLOGY of 5 5 5 and doing a simple 5 day ELEMENTAL ritual leading up to MAy 5th Scorpio Full Moon
ALWAYS smudge,your self first to cleanse and purify your self before you do any ceremony or sacred ritual using sacred cedar, sweet grass, sage or incense.
Always cast a sacred circle, delineating sacred space from profane space. You can sprinkle it with blessed water, or simply intend it,
Use candles which match the elements: In the Native American tradition:
Yellow for FIRE, Red for WATER, BLACK for EARTH, White for AIR, Blue or RED for spirit.
Different traditions associate different elements to different directions depending on where they live geographically. May seem confusing but it makes sense. If you live on the west coast Water,the ocean is in the west, etc. Puru uses a different system and animal emblems.
Beginning in the south with the coiled serpent {Kundalini energy} Innocence,the past,
moving to the west the Jaguar, death and rebirth,earth
to the north,air beautiful sweet nectar drinkinghummingbird,
and finally to the East, fire, the Sun and the Condor soaring with spirit.
The 5th element is all our relations, all the peoples, teachers, creatures and the Star nations,
Once in youre sacred space always move clock-wise,
May Day, 1= FIRE, May 2- WATER, May 3 -EARTH, May 4 – AIR, May 5 = SPIRIT/SOUL
Use whatever associations you like to the 4 elements, whatever has personal resonance with you, use it.

I’ll post helpers for each days ceremony.
MAy 5 2012 = 5 5 5 and is also WESAK the Full Moon of Buddha’s enlightenment.!

SCORPIO MOON weekend, sex,power,death,rebirth. Astrology and ritual Tara Greene
MOON enters SCORPIO APRIL 7 –9 EASTER and PASSOVER
Perfect alignment with DEATH, REBIRTH, TRANSFORMATION, RESURRECTION of these days Entry @ 8:18 am PDT/
moon in scorpio easter soul
Scorpio the 8th sign symbolizes the immortal SOUL. Scorpio the 2nd water sign is concerned with all the Biggies, major life issues like sex, power, control, the shadow, death, rebirth, so it is totally a fitting emotional alignment for EASTER.
Easter or EOSTRE { female ovulation} is an ancient PAGAN fertility festival. The egg and rabbits are fertility itself. These symbols have been added to Christs’ ancient Archetypal tale of death and rebirth. Ancient religions had the Goddess‘ son or consort, mate with her, and then be ritually tortured and sacrificed in order to resurrect the earth’s new crops, the Goddess’s fertility.
During the Passover ritual one eats bitter herbs, to commemorate how bitter life has been for the Jews who were slaves for 300 years. There is ritual dipping of fingers into blessed wine and dropping a drop for each plague that God sent on Pharaoh and the Egyptians. One eats hard-boiled eggs as fertility symbols, eats sweet crushed apples and honey with bitter radish to remember that life is the sweet and the bitter. This is a wise way to remember, by ritually making the memories physical, eating the memories digests them.
Allow yourself to be with the lunar tides, on the birth death resurrection themed super moon. Feel the full Moons’ lingering influence as soulful emotions ooze into the ethers.
Whatever cross you have had to bare, has you nailed to, hung up on…Where have you felt you were the sacrificial victim of YOUR OWN making, first? The someone else involved is only a projection, real but a reflection, like the moon, a mirror of yourself.
By being real, open, coming from DEEP within your soul, this depth allows understanding, compassion and tears, as the golden tickets you need to learn from. You can then, with consciousness and responsibility, acceptance and surrender, easily let go of those old rusty nails that you wept on while nailed down. Love those hard boiled eggs.
Where is SCORPIO in your Astrology chart? The house and planets in that sign,are where you can do the most laundry now.
SCORPIO BIRTH AND DEATH RITUAL TRANSFORMATION
Allow death to work for you, surrender and compost that which no longer serves your new emerging self and bring rebirth into a new life.
Nothing new can fully enter your life unless you dump the old sewage, baggage, habits, etc first. Only you can really do that.
As in Passover, gather symbols of things that remind you, it can be food, photographs, music, whatever triggers those feelings around power, powerlessness, control, letting go, sex, money, abuses, shadows, revenge, hatred, obsession, competition, all Scorpio themes.
Allow the old karmic traps, soul cages and wounds to be understood, acknowledged and surrendered at this time. Allow yourself to pass over, to pass them on, to be over it.
Time and consciousness are expanding very quickly now. By simply creating a big pile of all the old memories, like crunched up old newspapers, loving them understanding then turning them into bubbles, allow them to float away on a soft spring breeze. Like magic, Presto! You are healed, you are lighter, free.
In some ways it can be as simple as that. Scorpio is about control of your feelings, your power. Allow the new to call your name, a name you may not recognize yet.
NOTE: I am currently presenting workshops in soulfully re-naming yourself. To schedule a reading. I will help guide you to your real name, your truth, who you stand for. taragreene@sacredartscentre.com

Libra Full Moon, Easter, Passover,pagan Eostre Balancing act Astrology, Tara Greene insights
The 1st Super Moon of 2012 is April 6 A LIBRA FULL MOON @ 12:19 pm PDT/3:19 pm EDT/ 7:19 pm GMT
I send Happy Easter Passover and Eostre greetings to all my friends clients and all who find my articles.
It’s GOOD FRIDAY and the 1st night of PASSOVER just as in the original story of Jesus, so it is told, of Jesus, being condemned to die on the cross and resurrected over the next 3 days. 3 is an ancient symbol of the number of days each month for the Moon to rebirth herself. A very symbolic time for two major religions in the western world.
For the Jewish people Passover is one of the most important rituals and celebrations in their history. The Passover retells the story of the Jews enslavement in Egypt for 300 years, how Moses received the 10 Commandments and freed the Jews from Pharaoh and their subsequent wandering in the desert for 40 years. The Passover has been celebrated for over 3,500 years. Themes of suffering, freedom, sacrifice, resurrection abound.
What does this mean for us now in 2012? The effects of a Full moon lasts for the 2 week cycle till the New MOON so use this article as a reference as to how it affects your natal chart/planets.
If you need personal Astrology, tarot, psychic, spiritual guidance just use this link: http://www.taratarot.com
Sun is at 17 degrees ARIES with Moon opposite in LIBRA. Full MOON’s mark completions. Full MOONs are fertile. A super moon shows the moon very large as it is closer to the earth, we get 5 of these a year. The closer proximity makes the Moon more magical, romantic and potent.
LIBRA Full moon is a balancing act, it is karma. ROMANCE is in the AIR.
IT’S COMPLICATED …
and complex relationship’s energies to balance. MARS ruler of Aries governs the Sun at this time, is still RETROGRADE at 4 degrees Virgo and moving very s-l-o-w-l-y till April 13 where he turns direct. MARS ruler of Men, libido than means SEX, action, defenses, war has been RETRO boogy -ing since Jan. 23 at 23 degrees of VIRGO. It will take till JUNE 20 for MARS to get back up to form and make some real forward motion.
This is the slow period. MOON in Air sign Libra is ruled by VENUS now at 2 degrees of Gemini. Moon= moods, feelings and shows a doubly airy, fickle, doesn’t know what it feels, confused feelings.
We were experiencing those lovely GRAND TRINES a week or so ago. Now the energy has shifted dramatically.
MARS opposite NEPTUNE at 2 degrees of PISCES and CHIRON the Wounded Healer at 7 degrees. Neptune and Chiron have been like twins since 2011 in very close proximity to each other. NEPTUNE is the HIGHER OCTAVE, or spiritual love, AGAPE the Greeks called it, of Venus.
Soul-mate stuff. CHIRON is the wounded healer, we are most vulnerable where Chiron is. In PISCES this is our open spiritual wounds. PISCES is the 12th house, past life, unconscious, self-undoing wounds. It is the in denial wounds, the scapegoat wounds, the workaholic, addictions to sex, drugs, health, working out, money, power,drop out wounds, it is the martyr, Like JESUS, in the TAROT, the Hanged Man.
But these wounds are part and parcel of our human journey, our in CARN{E} ation. As JESUS was both human and divine,when he asked God on the cross why hast thou forsaken me? Jesus was speaking from the human vulnerable separation point of view for a moment. We can all identify with that. When we know our true PISCES divinity, that we are all sons and daughters of God. We are sparks of Gods, holograms of all of creation then we have the LIBRA balance. It is ours to balance out the Human and the Divine within ourselves.
The opposition of Mars retrograde in Virgo to Neptune and Chiron has been rubbing our all too human imperfections raw of late. My clients have been expressing this and I’ve certainly been feeling that! Frazzled, tired, not good enough, too nit picky, working too hard, what’s the point? … Those three are also in square to the NORTH NODE at 6 degrees of SAGITTARIUS and to VENUS.
The NORTH Node symbolizes the highest spiritual goal. It is sitting exactly on my Sun right now. The North Node in Sagittarius is about honesty, truth, inspiration, optimism, teaching, adventure, the far-seeing goal. Sagittarius is the Galactic Center. The BLACK HOLE at the center of our Milky Way Galaxy is the Spiritual gateway of all souls and held in high esteem by many Indigenous ancient cultures not only the Maya.
This MUTABLE GRAND CROSS involves Mars, VENUS, Neptunian spiritual Higher love, Chirotic wounding, and the choice to re-balance our relationships. What will YOU choose?
Jupiter ruler of the North Node and ancient ruler of Pisces is at 14 degreees of Taurus very BULLISH, strong stubborn and grounded at the middle degree. Retrograde Saturn is opposite the Sun close to the Moon, we are very much at a pivotal point in humanity’s karma.
We choose to create our reality at every moment. CHOOSE from the heart. This extended Martian retrograde period has the where the action is planet staying in VIRGO from Nov 10 2011- July 3 2012. That’s almost 8 months in the hard work earth sign of analysis,perfecting.Remember the earth, Virgo is the Virgin, the Harvest, we all come from the earth, we are all Her children. Keep life simple, grounded, humble, on budget.
PLUTO begins his annual five month retrograde on April 10. We will then deepen our journey like Persephone in the land of Hades, the Underworld, the soul land of resurrection, as Easter symbolizes.

St. Patrick’s Day,the Luck ‘O the Irish,the pagans by Tara Greene Astrology
by Tara Greene Astrology Psychic & More Copyright 2011- eternity & beyond.
St. Patrick, Catholic Irish Saint,is known for driving the snakes out of Ireland. That story is actually a cultural re-visioning. St. Patrick, identified with the shamrock, was no Saint and not lucky at all for the pagans who worshipped the Goddess. Ireland since time out of mind was a pagan, Wiccan, Druid, Nature, Goddess worshipping land. These people were demonized and ripped off by St. Paddy.
St. Paddy is NOT Irish. Born in Scotland to Roman parents around 387 AD. Taken prisoner at 14, he was sent to Ireland as a slave. He studied the language and learned the customs of the people, original Nature loving, pantheistic earth worshippers.
As the story goes, Patrick prayed to God. He had a dream he was to leave Ireland but the Irish people were calling him back. He studied to be a priest. He became a Bishop and was sent back to Ireland to teach the Gospel. He arrived at Slane on March 25, 433. Patrick converted many thousands of people including Irish Kings who were moved {or threatened} upon hearing Patrick’s message. He himself had many disciples who were all later canonized. He preached for over 40 years, apparently worked many miracles, and wrote of his love for God in his confessions. He lived in poverty, travelled and endured much suffering and died March 17, 461 AD. at Saul, where he had built his first church. It’s 1,550 years since he died.
THE SHAMROCK
Patrick used the shamrock, as the symbol of the holy Trinity. The SHAMrock or clover {note the sham pun in shamrock, puns are always give a ways} is originally an ancient PAGAN SYMBOL of the GODDESS, the original Holy TRINITY, the TRIPLE GODDESS, whose phases we see as the Moon waxing and waning.
The Triple Goddess, like the Roman God Janus, who was also an overlay of the original Goddess worshipping religions, represents the past present and future. Christianity like Hinduism, Judaism, Islam always incorporated former religions but then skews the original meaning, usually inferring the opposite.
Catholic pagan symbol Sheila Na Gig
St. Patrick was famous for driving the snakes out of Ireland, meaning he drove the pagans out/converted them. The snake is a euphemism; the snakes symbolize the Goddess, rebirth, sexuality, eternity, and wisdom. Snakes were always her honoured symbol. In the re-writing of the Goddess history, the propaganda popularly known as the Bible, tells how in Genesis, the snake was turned into evil and Eve made to be seen as wicked, the original sinner, forever dooming women to hardship in birth, and never able to repent.
Cretan Snake goddess worhsipped for thousands of years
It is the worst most wicked, horrible, most ridiculous LIE, filled with self-hatred, hatred of life, divorced from nature. It was of course built on the foundations of Judaism and the old testament which was the historical very violent story of the crushing of the Goddess religion, the defamation of the Feminine.
Everything the Goddess stood for, love of Nature, the Feminine relating principles, honouring life, children, sexuality etc. was made bad, indecent, devil worship by the Catholic Church and the Bible.
Christians thank him the conversion of the ancient Irish pagans. But in the name of Christ who tolerated all peoples, honoured women and preached love of thy neighbour, pagans especially women,who were labelled witches and -worshippers,were tortured to convert, and had their properties and rank stolen from them.
To some Pagans, wiccans, druids, Goddess worshippers St. Patrick is a despised person who drove the Irish people from their original faith. Some Wiccans may actually enjoy the celebration because of its “hidden” Pagan meaning, and smile when they see devout Christians wearing the shamrock, the Goddess’symbol proudly.
As in the Mists of Avalon, the re-telling of the Arthurian and Grail legends from the original Pagan Goddess worshipping aspect, the Goddess in any name is still Her energy. Goddess worship is earth honouring, egalitarian, matriarchal.
Just as the white people carry a collective karmic debt and shame for destroying Indigenous peoples earth worshipping religion and cultures. In Canada,there is now a token giving back, as in the Queen Charlotte Island being renamed in their indigenous tongue and land treaties give native people back the lands and bones or historical relics taken in colonialized plunder, as in Egypt and China that were stolen from them.
Perhaps we should rethink St. Patrick when we’re out in the pub drinking green beer, wearing shamrocks, and singing When Irish Eyes Are Smilin’ and Oh Danny Boy and at least toast THE GODDESS. Because as She says: “All acts of love and beauty are my worship.”
And speaking of Ireland. The name Tara, popularly connected to the Hills of Tara, and the Kings of Tara is originally a Goddess name. Tara, whose ancient worship continues today,She is still worshipped daily in India and Tibet. Green Tara whose name is originally SITARA, means the Stars. Therefore she is just like the Egyptian Goddess of the sky, where all life originated, the goddess Nut, or Nuit, aka the Milky Way Galaxy. Hey we don’t call it a Guyaxy.
Sitara, her name means the Galaxy, all that is, She is the original creatress, Mother Nature. The Sitar is her heavenly music, the music of the cosmos. Her worship is so ancient and widespread it ran from India all the way to Ireland.
In English Tara =Terra in Latin meaning The EARTH. Eartha or Artha in Sanskrit means the Earth. All the names have an etymological root from Sanskrit considered to be a holy language. So in India and Tibet the mantra, the prayers for Tara invoke her vibration, as chanting OHM is considered to be the original word of God. Tara actually has 21 different manifestations, colours and dances representing her powers. Green Tara is Mother Nature.
Chanting her mantra or saying these words brings protection.
Om Tara Tu Tara Tura Swoha. The Tura is pronounced Tooray.
For Japan and all the desecration of Her Planet please chant these words to divine Goddess tara.

Nuclear meltdown in Japan,women have the anti-dote, SuperMoon by Tara Greene
March 12-14th 2011 With the 2nd or 3rd Nuclear power plant at the Fukushima plants in meltdown and dangerous types of nuclear fuel used this is a very dangerous situation and is being covered up in the media. see
http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/nn20100823a7.html
I meant to write feminine and masculine and my Freudian unconscious slip went faminine and mesculine as in the famine of the Feminine created by the mess of the masculine. How apropos.
The latest powerful earthquakes and tsunami’s in Japan is the earth crying out for women to pay attention to her and act in right relationship. If we are really humanKIND we must act kind, we must be kind, we must reKINDle ourselves in harmony with the heartflame of Grandmother Earth.
We are all Her children. We are but little specs, like ants upon her bosom, see how fragile we truly are when Mother Nature shakes us about, she is showing us who is boss she’s giving us humans a time out for acting badly to her.
MOTHER EARTH, the Divine Feminine is full of unconditional love for all of us but we, MEN have raped and abused her for thousands of years now and her womb,the oceans are polluted and the air, her breath and the earth, her body had been so ravaged by greed and masculine dominator models for over 5,000 years. None of her earth should be mined, blasted, no oil pumped out, no radioactive materials used.
Any mistreatment of women and children who are created in her DIVINE IMAGE, Feminine like Her Self is an affront to The Goddess= Our Mother. To further strengthen our commitment to the 100th anniversary of International Womens’ day we need to honour the earth with our bodies and our blood more than ever. Desperate times call for ACTION and commitment.
Women- written by Canadian Singer Nancy Ward from her album
To the Planters of Trees produced by Jack Lenz. 1989{ ?}
Women, we are strong like the trees,
we can bend in the wind,
we can bend in the wind without breaking
Women, we are patient as mountains,
we endure like the rivers,
we are waters on the storm,
we are peacemakers.
Women, Mother Earth is our baby,
she is sick and in trouble,
Mother Earth is our baby,
our own, Mother Earth is our baby, our own.
People, we must call on our powers,
from the earth sky and waters,
we must heal Mother EArth with
our Beauty, our Beauty
we must heal, Mother Earth, with our Souls.
Holy Grail, Sacred Blood heals the earth
In ancient times Women’s menstrual blood was considered Holy, the Sacred Blood of Life. The Holy Grail is the womb itself the Sang Real is royal blood. Menstrual blood was the first blood used to fertilize crops, the beginning of agriculture. The red carpet which we know to today used by Hollywood stars denoting power, wealth, beauty was originally a special carpet that women bled upon which gave it its power.
Women your monthly period is your sacred menstrual blood of Life and will help to heal the earth. As in homeopathic cures, like cures like and in magick intention is everything. We must give back what She has honoured us with, the Gift of Life and to give back .
You know this in the deepest part of your wombs in your unconscious in your cells. All you have to do is get past the programming and remember what your body tells you. Ask your womb if it is holy? Is your monthly bleeding time sacred? Is your monthly flow not the root of and intended to bring forth the miracle of life? How could it be any other way? We need to move out of unconsciousness into empowerment and enlightenment, this is it. Your body hold the magick. You need to free yourself til you can laugh at how ridiculous it is to believe that your sacred body and its natural flow could be anything but sacred and holy.
If you are a woman who still bleeds, save your blessed menstrual blood in a non-toxic pad or cup and pour some onto the earth or in a body of water with a prayer of powerful intention to heal mother earth NOW. This will greatly benefit the earth and all her relations.
Especially at this very powerful u[coming Super Moon on March 19 when the full Moon will be closest to the Earth in 20 years, if you are bleeding then use that time especially. Anytime and always is the best time. Give back to Mother earth that which She has given you. This is ancient pagan wiccan ceremonial magick. It is very powerful menstrual blood, that is why there was all the taboos about women bleeding.
I made a vow at a women’s ceremony in 1992 to teach women and young girls about the sacred power of their menstrual blood. I offer to coach to educate, to lead ceremonies and rituals.

So whats the cosmic weather really like for V day 2011?
Heaven on valentine's day 2011
The MOON governs the overall reigning feelings emotions memories and instincts of any day.
This V day in additon to all the romantic hype will be replete with high emotions moods and very sentimental with the Moon in Cancer. Be sure to go to a homey comfort food place for dinner or cook yourself at home. Cancer Moon likes traditional, and the way to a Cancer moon’s valentine’s heart is through the stomach. Apple pie of course just like Mom made it.
Cancer mOon opposite Pluto in Capricorn at 6 degrees, wow this changes it up. Pluto demoted or no is POWER, SEX, SECRETS, kinky,atomic, underworldly,totally nihilistic indulgences,the death and resurrection show! so Mom vs. all the things she forbade you to do in tantalizing opposition. First we’ll play house nice and then we’ll mess it up under the rug… whatever your fancy desires!
VENUS planet ruling LOVE, ROMANCE, women is at 12 degrees of capricorn also still opposite the MOON and conjunct Pluto. so sexy intense, passionate, jealous, steamy, lots of Victoria’s secret lingerie, dark raw chocolate till spread all over, oodles of roses till they almost sell out the entire planet. Venus in Capricorn though is all business, so buy your favourite femme fatale something practical, tweedy even, for work, she can double deal in the daily grind,not just the bump and.
Venus Squares Jupiter in Aries so things will move along very quickl, dive right in, dont be shy.
Pluto forms a tense T-square with Retrograde Saturn in Libra and that Cancerian quickly moving Moon. Tense, intense, take her out to a Moroccan Egyptian or Middle eastern restaraunt. a bit of humour..again crying and or at least reminiscing over past lovers may come up during the evening inspite of your best efforts.
MARS? what about the planet ruling the male gender and libidos in general? Mars is cozied up to and sandwiched conjunct the Sun in Aquarius along with Mercury at 17 degrees and Neptune at 28 degrees of Aquarius, still wide but connected to Chiron the wounded healer at Zero degrees of Pisces.
Mars in breezy Aquarius is easy going humanitarian, love the one your with, he’ll buy you a save the polar bears, whales, indiginous peoples, raw milk or planetary something for Valentine’s day. That’s a good thing too! A bit detached, quick moving, freedom loving, inventive- new positions? tech-y gifts? how romantic you say. He’ll let you think it was your idea.
Mars conjunct Neptune-divinely romantic, full of poetry, art, fine wine, soul mates sparkly eyeballing are the vibes. Be carefull not to drink to excess with Mars and Neptune connected it could be too easy. Judgement will be cloudy, remember that he/she may seem like your soul survivor today and the total opposite tomorrow but hey.. youve got nothing else to loose. Chiron here indicates fragile hearts beneath that cool Aquarian, texty, smooch, hipster of the mo exterior, so dont be surprised when the mask falls with the underwear..
And remember by Wedenesday the Moon will swagger into Leo and the entire emotional picture will have changed.
Live everyday as if it were Valentine’s day…

Feb 15 is called Nirvana Day by the way.
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.
Festival of coming Spring, Groundhog Day
11:11 REMEMBRANCE DAY RETRO by Tara Greene Psychic
11:11 DNA ENCODED REMEMBRANCE DAY by Tara Greene Psychic Tarot INtuitive Coach Meditations
All material copyright 2010 – infinity Tara Greene
NOVEMBER 11th is marked as Remembrance Day for fallen soldiers in two world wars. Memorial wreaths are laid at monuments and a minute of silence is observed at 11:11 IN THE FALLEN DEAD’S HONOR. Since I was a child Remembrance Day, marked by the wearing of a red poppy on a lapel signified the remembering and honouring of the shed blood of those who gave their lives in Battles and the poppiesof flander’s Fields from the first world war. It always felt like a very solemn serious and significant day to me.
Since the 70’s November 11TH took on a far different and even greater depth of MEMORIAL significance.
Through the technology of digital clocks, over the last 30 years or so millions of people around the world have taken note of seing repeatedly the sight of the numbers 11:11. This synchronicity Phenomenon on clocks, VCR’s, etc. spread like a kind of wildfire. It become a worldwide phenomenon of note through word of mouth before the Internet was in use.
Remembrance day, 11:11 morphed from not just a day of the mourning of “passed” spirits but also a New Morning of Spiritual Remembrance, a time for remembering our True Selves
On Jan 11, 1992 a woman calling herself Solara created one of the first and largest International Worldwide meditations. Over 144,000 people participated worldwide in groups marking the opening of a Portal or Gateway of consiousness at 11:11 am and pm set to UT. I took part in
this. Were you part of this?
Solara says 11:11 is a pre-encoded trigger placed into our memory banks prior to our descent into matter. As we advanced technologically we created the mediums to help us to remember. Solara claims that 11:11 triggers a memory of higher consciousness.
Solara claimed since 1987 that a merger is taking place of a Greater Reality, some say it is other dimensions, the 6th or the 22nd, being inserted into our everyday lives, between our vast Cosmic Selves and our physical bodies. Some people call it Ascension.
Solara states that seeing 11:11 quickens the consiousness making us more vibrationally alive. it helps us to RE-MEMBER our true purpose here on earth. see her 11:11 website for more
The number 11 is called a Master Number; any doubled number is referred to as a Master Number. Master numbers are very powerful because they multiply the energies twofold.
The Number 11 is a visual represenation of a gateway, a portal. It is the number of Duality 1 + 1. It is yin/yang. It symbolizes all beginnings, the birth canal, and the twin pillars of Solomon at his sacred temple. we’ll pick up the twin towers symbolism later. Catch my drift?
In the Tarot the number 11 symbol is seen on the Tarot Trump # 2 which is at the root of 11 as the twin pillars – called Joachim and Boaz. the twin pillars of 11 are the Twin Pillars on the Tree of Life, the outside pillars of Mercy or Severity.
The KABALAH AND NUMBER 11
In the Kabbalistic Tarot,the 11th Key is called JUSTICE, or Sacred Law, which is Karma and the planet Saturn, symbolized by the Twin scales of Justice, originally the Scales of Ma’at from Ancient Egyptian times and which we still use as the modern symbol of the Law.
In the Kabbalah Justice # 11 is on the 22nd path of the Tree.
#22 is a Higher Vibration of 11.
On the Tree of Life in the Kabbakah, the 11th Path, the one emanating from the Crown Chakra at the very top of the Tree of Life is the path of the Fool. Which is Zero- naught and the number 22 combined. The end and the beginning ,all contained in One. So there you have it! We are the end and the beginning.
Seeing 11:11 is an activation, a GENTLE ANGELIC prod, a quickening of your consciousness, it is an alarm bell waking you up to re- member, to put your Self back together, to wake up out of forgetfulness and sleep to your true Higher Self.
11:11 is made up of Four 1’s. In the Tarot the # 1 card is the Magician. The Magician emanates from the crown chakra at the Top of the Sephirot on the Tree of Life as a paired opposite to the Fool.
The Magician is symbolized by the planet Mercury which is Consciousness, awareness, the Mind, communication Itself.
The conscious awareness of seeing 11:11 helps us to realize that an invisible force, angels, archetypal symbols are silent helpers in our midst lighting out way.
Solara claims that a great doorway opened on January 11, 1992 and it only allows ONE being through it. We have to become the ONE. Remember in the first MAtrix film where the oracle asks Neo are you the one?
It is the same question that the hookah smoking caterpillar asks alice in the wonderland. It’s all the same question. There is really only one question. ONE ANSWER. We must all become ONE to go through the doorway which has been open for the last 18 years, only opens once and is destined to close on Nov. 11 2011, which will read as 11:11: 2011 All variations on 11. it is the max 11.
This date also co-incides very closely with Dr. Caleman’s “end date” of the Mayan calendar in Oct 28, 2011 NOT the John Major Jenkins “end date” or the Terrence McKenna or Jose Arguelles “end date” popularized as being on Dec 21, 2012..
So everytime you see 11:11 OR 12:12, 1:11, 2:22, 3:33, 4:44, 5:55 am or pm REMEMBER it is a Wake up call!
Stop and Pay Attention! Breath, slow down, ask your Higher Self, Your Guardian Angels for what it is you’re supposed to remember. Be present in the NOW.
The Astrology the Heavens Above of this 11:11
Astrologically with Justice the Tarot Trump # 11 {sometimes interchanged with number 8, which also signifies INFINITY, KARMA}. All the symbols infer the same meanings.
The Justice card is the symbol of the Sign of LIBRA. Saturn, which symbolizes Karma is in Libra right now, where it is considered to be exalted. Acting at Saturnine best behaviour as it were. Saturn was involved in the destruction of the World Trade Center Twin Towers on 9/11. Saturn, Lord of Karma was in the Sign of Gemini at the time, the twin sign.
Venus has just re-entered Libra the Sign she rules on the 7th of Nov. {7/11} Venus is in Retrograde motion now till Nov. 18th. Venus is another symbol of the High Pirestess, as the Goddess in libra she is exceptionally all about Love, Beauty Harmony, the Arts.
VENUS has just risen from her Journey through the Underworld and is visible again as the Morning star since Nov. 4th. Venus is also known as Inanna the Ancient Sumerian Great Goddess.
We are now phasing in Synch with her Re- risen Phoenix like. Venus is visible in the East at dawn shining so beautifully, and Jupiter King of the Gods is visible in the West in the evening. Jupiter is considered to be Dignified in the sign he co-rules, Pisces. Jupiter is also Retrograde till the 18th. Both planets turn DIRECT WITHIN 5 hours of each other on that date.
So I’m intuiting a sense that since this is the second to Last 11:11 gateway opening before the door shuts And the fact that the Mayan calendar is now in It’s the 7th and Last day – see previous article on Scorpio New Moon in November. This 11:11 remembrance really COUNTS! Our consciousness on this 11:11 really needs to expand to the Heights.
The planets Venus and Jupiter are two very big lights in our local skies.They mark one of two pillars, part of the 11:11 symbolism. Venus in Libra is Love Beauty, Harmony Relationship Jupiter in Pisces is Spiritual expansion, Truth, Inspiration, knowledge, Compassion, ONENESS.
The two planets are synchronistically reflecting our state of evolutionary consciousness Being Retrograde on this particular 11:11 celebration they give us the opportunity to Really RE- member what our essential ONENES is.
Venus lights our daylight cocnsciousness in Libran harmony and balance. so, in the morning when you meditate at 11:11 breathe in Venusian Feminine Goddess Unconditional Love Energy.
In the evening at 11:11 pm call in Jupiter’ in Pisces expansive, truth seeking, inspiring Energy of humour, good-fellowship, forgiveness, compassion, Bliss, endings, karma, Oneness.
MEDITATION for 11:11
Before 11:11 am prepare yourself to ReMember. Get comfortable wherever you are. It is good to purify your aura using smudge, a Native American cleansing natural herbal combo of dried cedar, sage, sweetgrass which is lit and the smoke brushed over your chakras. It is very powerful and effective. Any Natural incense will do the same thing. use your intent. Have your feet flat on the ground and your hands in your lap. Make mudras by putting your first finger and thumb together, this creates a closed energy circuit channel.
Close your eyes. Put your attention on your third eye, just above the center point of your eyebrows and also towards the inside of the head at the pineal gland, the visoneering gland and to your crown chakra simultaneously. Being two places at once.
11:11 am Meditation
In the daylight consciousness time we are tuning into the Feminine. Simply ask to remember who you really are. Consciously bring in the energy of Venus, the Feminine energy. Simply ask to feel Her Unconditional Love for you and for all beings. Breathe through your Nose and hold for 2 seconds and release through your mouth. Do this 11 times. Breathe and stay with that for 11 minutes if you can. 22 minutes or multiples double numbers ofr as much time as you have.
11:11 pm NIGHT TIME MEDITATION
At night at 11:11 when the 2nd round of meditation is about to occur prepare yourself again in the same way. This time at night, the feminine time of the day we are bringing in masculine active oriented energies of Jupiter. Again ask to remember your God self. Ask to find and rememember your Truth, Your Higher Self, True Oneness. And don’t forget to remember to ask how to laugh again at yourself and all the foibles of this world. Humour is the height of Healing.
By doing a two-fold balancing act of the Masculine and the Feminine at this time I feel this is essential to create Oneness and embody the 11:11 in all its; polarity.
Let me know how this visualization and meditation worked for you. I am also available to coach individuals on their sacred spiritual journeys back Home.

Halloween Horror scope by Tara Greene witchy psychic predictions
HALLOWEEN originally called SAMHAIN is the Pagan New year!
We totally out of synch with solar/lunar natural cycle Westerners who denigrate the earth, the Feminine, the Goddess, and ourselves celebrate New Year’s on a totally artifical Gregorian calendar date 2 months later. Why not get in synch now?
The commercialised version of Halloween which has been handed down to us, does partake of some of the original mystery of this night filled with ghosts and spirits walking amongst the living.
October 31 is the night when the veil which divides the worlds of the living and the dead is the thinnest. Covens of pagans, who are ancient nature worshippers, labeled witches and persucuted by the Catholic Church for centuries, would gather to celebrate this sacred Night, the direction of the North West on the great round of the wheel of Life.
Plates of cakes and wine with candles lit are offered to your beloved ancestors, without whom your consciousness and body would not be here. Recalling your departed relatives with reverence is part of the scaredness of this day.
An alter is decorated with autumn leaves, the oranges and golds, the pumpkin, a fall vegetable, one of the last of the season, symbolizes the full round, ripe with abundant seeds of Life. The harvest has been gathered, the fields are fallow. The King of the Waning Year has sailed over the sunless sea of the womb of the Mother, and alights on the Shining Isle, the luminous wolrd egg, becoming the seed of his own rebirth. The gates of life and death are opened! the new Sun child is conceived, the dead arise and walk, and to the living is revealed the Mystery, that there is no death, that life is everlasting, all endings are but new beginnings. We meet in time out of time, everywhere and nowhere, here and there, atonce, to greet the Lord of Death, who is Lord of Life and the Triple Goddess who is the circle of Rebirth. – referenced to Starhawk.
IT is the best night to scry gazing into crystals or water.
amethyst crystals enhance psychic 3rd eye abilities by holding and transmitting energies
The popular childrens Halloween game of bobbing for apples, comes down to us from the original ancient ceremonial use of the apple at the Halloween Sabbat ceremony. An apple is the Goddess sacred fruit of Life- remember the Garden of Eden? It is cut by a ritual sword or athame splitting it open to reveal it as the fruit of death as well. The 2 in One. All apples are Goddess symbols, the shape of the fruits’ seeds is the 5 sided pentagram ,the five fold star of rebirth, as Venus actually cyles in the pentagram shape over time. Upright pentagrams are symbols of Venus herself. The downturned ones are inverted used for black magic and negative.
Apples and eaten wine is drunk. Celebrations of rebirth, renewal, everlasting life is what Halloween is all about. At Midnight Nov 1st becomes the day of the Dead celebrated thoughout Mexico, it is coincidentally also part of that ancient Halloween celebration. The spirits of the dead are able to intermingle with the living. Meals are shared with the departed ancestors and friends. In Mexico great fmaily picinics occur in cemetaries. The dead are consdered to be helpers and protectors of the living from the beyond always with us but closer this night.
SEXY SCORPIO SUN & RETRO VENUS, MERCURY IN SCORPIO, LEO MOON ON EARLY HALLOWEEN- shifts to VIRGO EARTHY PRACTICALITY
From Feeling like a KING/QUEEN t0 NEED TO TIDY UP WHILE I PARTY

Very playfull child like adults whooping it up in their best Zombies, dracula, Vampires, witchy, drag, favourite star, clever, cleavage reavealing, bondage,kinky, best.
MOON is Void of Course at 2:01 pm PDT/5:01 pm EDT
A Void-of- course Moon is great for scrying, spiritual work, crystal ball gazing, casting spells- white ones of course. The good witches say ” Harm none, or the spell comes back to you 9 times over.”
YOU should see the “crack between the worlds” this night. not to be confused with someone’s Mooning or derriere crack exposed by too short pants. The veil between the worlds is what the High Priestess Tarot Trump # 2 protects and she is the MOON incarnate. I am a High Priestess by birth Number. I remember many past lives functioning as a High Priestess in many cultures and time periods. Read all about it in my upcoming book…
Energy may wind done as Moon moves into earthy, perfectionistic VIRGO ”what’s that out of place, blob on your zombie costume?” at 8:51 pm PDT / 11:51 pm – 9 minutes before the Witching hour? So a big shift in energy tonight.
DO LET ME KNOW IF YOU FEEL THE LUNAR SHIFT …
The astrology chart cast for 5:01 pm EST time shows a firey Aries Ascendant and Saturn sitting right on the descendant at 11 degrees of Libra. I predict marriage proposals for some seriously Saturn-ized Librans and other signs tonight.
I’ve included asteroid VAMPILOVE # 3230 in the chart fittingly its at 2 degrees of SCORPIO { with venus Retrograde about to cross it} -it is the Asteroid whose name is most similar contraction to VAMPIRE I LOVE and for more info on Asteroid VAMPILOVE - see my take on the most popular and handsome Vampire – Robert Pattinson- and its role in his Birth Chart at http://www.taratarot.com/id105.html

Be carefull not to get inticed by spirits diguised as living humans.
SAFE HALLOWEEN.
REMEMBER TO HONOUR YOUR ANCESTORS NOV 1ST.
Maxxed Out Cardinal Crosses, Cosmic Traffic Pearl Jams by Tara Greene
the Continuing CARDINAL CROSS TIMES X marks the spot
LET 'em eat bacon!
THE CARDINAL CROSS TIMES
Aug 6- 7th 2010 Tara Greene’s Astrology Updates and advice for the ongoing continuous stress of Uranian Plutonian revolutionize and change now or soon die and maxxed out Cardinal crosses including a number of planets!
Since the June 26 Lunar eclipse Grand Cardinal Cross which instigated these 2010-2012 CArdinal Years there’s now more energies applying again, more hits to get us up and moving.
These days there is now Jupiter and Uranus in Aries, Pluto in Capricorn, The Moon in early degrees of Cancer, Venus just entered Libra, her Home sign, cozying up to Mars and Saturn in the scales of Karmic Justice. Producing, count ‘em 10 squares and 7 oppositions! That’s a whopping tension.
That number of new beginnings-early Cardinal Sign planets in Grand Cross formation hasn’t been seen in about 2,000 years!!!! What happened back then?
The Jupiter Pluto square will be in effect for the nest 6 weeks! Jupiter is Mr. Big, Jupiter rules foreigners, airplanes, religious fanatics, higher education, travel, philosophy, legal matters, risk tasking. Jupiter is THE Wheel of Fortune in the Tarot. Pluto is Hades lord of the Underworld, Soul presence, shadow, Pluto if used very consciously is power and riches. Negatively its’s secrets, power and control over others. But its all good,as its’ purpose is all about destruction or de-construction & resurrection. So how’s your personal D & R. going?
How Phoenix do you feel? Or how close or far are you from that event horizon?
Pluto rules riches and worldly power in Capricorn and Jupiter is BIG, so large market falls are possible, big new laws which may limit people which then brings Uranus also in early Aries into the picture as the revolution is beginning to heat up.
Cardinal crosses- who cares?
It all adds up to MUCHO STRESS! These planets Jupiter and Uranus, Mars Venus and Saturn all squared by Pluto and now opposed by the Cancer Moon are rubbbing against each other at 90 degrees angels and 180 degree -tug of war oppositions. With the newish Venus and Mars action with Saturn in Libra it’s supposed to be about Balance, fair play, equality, right? Jupiter and Uranus in Aries say its a whole new ball game, innovate now or forever kick yourself in the butt. This is just the preliminaries.
Jupiter and Uranus are both Retrograding back to Pisces - Uranus on Aug 13th, Jupiter on Sept. 9 right after the mid Virgo New Moon and the beginnning of the Jewish New Year, Jupiter is Yahweh, so some kind of a spiritual karmic replay with Israel is forthcoming. Perhaps war!!
These’re KArmic Times all right!
ARE WE PRODUCING PEARLS YET?
I feel the planet to work with – albeit quickly as she will only be in Cancer from Friday Aug 6th at 2:50 pm PDT till Aug 8 4:23 pm. But La Luna goes Void of Course on the 7th at 11:46 am and that’s the best time to do meditations or ceremonies. Sat Auh 7th around noon until Sunday Aug 8 at 4:23 pm PDT. Interesting its 88 again.
in this mix is the Moon, as she is once again in early Cancer as she was on June 26 the newcomer in this Grand cross. Squares can be liked to sand in the proverbial oysters, irritating as hell to the bivalve but what’s the oyster do? puts some spit and saliva on it to mitigate those outchy hard edges and what’s the outcome? a Pearl!
Venus and Saturn are both at their best in Libra, Venus rules it, Saturn is exalted there. This promises more harmony, equanimity, balancing and peace for a short period. Mars is weak in Libra the sign opposite the one he rules Aries. Moon rules Cancer in this cardinal cross. These are the ongoing Cardinal Cross years 2010-2012.
We are at a Cross Roads,Cardinal refers to beginnings. This is the shift of the world ages.
Planets are near where they were at the Great Depression of 1929. The 60′s generation that was seeded by Uranus and Pluto in Virgo with Saturn opposite in Pisces is having their collective mid life crisis. Things are tense, the forces of old established Patriarchal Capricorn corporate authority is being overhauled and restructured and recycled and destroyed by Plutonian influences. But not until they try to initiate fascism and the New world order, everyone is chipped and watched and police state politics, GMO, mad cow, brain meltdowns etc.
The Catholic Church is falling apart, their known abuse of young men, the Church’s homosexual shadows, it’s unholy piosness and callous cruelty in the false name of righteousness and blashepmy of Jesus is being uncovered for all to see. The church is responsible for burning and torturing over nine million people, mainly women in over 300 years,taking over their property over falsely accusing them of being witches and consorting with the devil. All lies. The churches is one of the richest most powerfull Institutions in the World. It is almost infallable. But fall it will,as people wake up and learn to see with their own eyes as Jesus said.
This is one of the purposes of these Cardinal crosses, to raise awareness.

On a personal level:
I know people are overracting, over stressed. My experience with all this- dumping, shadow spitting and all the dark parts that no one wants to own comming out in the clear blue light of day is a cleansing. Dont react to any of it. It’s like a fire drill. Remain calm, it’ll all blow over like smoke, like ashes. See it for what it is. That’s how you start making pearls of wisdom.
It is a g reat clearing and cleansing. It isn’t necessarily pretty. My sense is everyone really needs to go into their hearts, and ask what their own personal truth is to cultivate and be in a place of love. The new frequencies and dimensions incoming are very high. We are walking on a knife blade. All there is is now. People are sick of too much information, false reality, over complexity. Slow everything down and simplify your life.
Neptune and Chiron are still inclose proximity. Chiron re-entered Aquarius July 20, he stays in Aquarius till 2011 and closely aligns with Neptune again at years end. The Wounded Healer Chiron and Neptune the planet of egolessness, spirit, Bliss, dissolving into Oneness, dreams, artistry, illusion, delusion, fantasy, denial, oil, addictions are showing us the cosmic signature.The Gulf oil crisis is the negative side of their cheek to cheek dance. The positive side is Healing of one’s soul, of the spiritual wounds. Be joyous.
Aug 8th Venus and Saturn conjunct. Time to get serious in binding relationships. Many relationships end now, it is a karmic turnign point. How in balance is your life, love, finances and artistic endeavours? How much beauty do you create,appreciate, own? New art forms will come out of this cardinal cross.
With Moon in Cancer – be nice to your tummy. If you need to crawl under the covers in a fetal position and suck your thumb or hold your blankie that’s ok too. And let the tears fall as well.
I find crying to be a great release from all the tension. Security needs and issues come up in all relationships very strongly. Power backlashes are the result of insecurity. Remember that.
Meditate and breath in the Light. Powerfull spiritual master teacer are nearby and hovering in very close waiting and watching and coming if you ask. Dont be afraid. remember where you came from. We all come from the stars.
I was visiting friends of mine up in the Bancroft area in Northernish Ontario the other day. They mentioned a lot of UFO sightings in the country and Pleiadian sightings. Call in the ones who love you who are in the Light to help you navigate through these turbulent times.
Remember its all about pearl jam making.
