MOON enters SCORPIO APRIL 7 –9  EASTER and PASSOVER

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

moon in scorpio easter soul

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

SCORPIO BIRTH AND DEATH RITUAL TRANSFORMATION

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

                        

Gemini The Lovers Trump # 6

                                                  THE  LOVERS

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

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

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

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

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

So there will be a lot of quick changing love affairs, mucho yakkety yakking, comparison shopping, and definitely a surfeit of being unable to choose one thing over the other.

The answer: TRY EVERYTHING….

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

 

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

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

GOING FOR THE OBAMA DRAMA ARE WE?

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

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

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

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

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

One more thing MERCURY is going RETROGRADE Aug 2.

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

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

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

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

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

My advice. Some antidotes?

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

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

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