Leo Moon,a Psychic Tarot Reader’s Life,Chris Colfer GLEE Birthday wishes, Astrology from Tara Greene
Its been MOON in Leo ,fiery proud roaring, me 1st times since Fri May 25 which is WORLD TAROT DAY if you didn’t know.
I’ve been celebrating WTD since 2004 and it has grown. see previous post on WTD, tarot decks etc.
I felt like a very passionate fiery LEO like WTD. I poured my heart out and performed LEo is the actor- NON STOP all day! I read in person clients very long intense readings as well as phone readings from noon till 10:30 pm barely a pee break and a bite to eat. Whew. But it was worth it and now I am LEONINE proud! My heart is full in LEO like fashion. Thanks for all my clients old and new for connecting with me for World Tarot Day.
Hey in my life WTD is every day. I am always in the cards. Living the Tarot cards, the symbols, the Archetypes, the energies, talking to them, praying , conversing, thinking, dreaming them. The Tarot is such a marvellous resource. I am so blessed to be able to introduce people into how the tarot works, what it truly is, how deeply powerful and profound, a beautiful and whole symbolic pathway.
It takes many years to really steep yourself in the Tarot, there are so many layers, symbols, so much knowledge one has to really understand and assimilate to work proficiently with the Tarot. There are many people out there with not much experience, maybe high on the excitement of Tarot itself, getting to know the cards, but I do really feel it takes much time to be a really good tarot reader. You do have to have a thorough background in Astrology,a very intense system all on its own. Numerology, Kabbalah,color scales, mythology, symbolism. I could go on and on.
Tarot is a living system, My prayer for every reading is I know nothing….that keeps me open, surrendered, receptive, a vessel,lets my Higher Self and Guardian angels come through. I have other prayers too, affirmation prayers. There are always two parts in prayers and meditations, an asking action type of prayer or mediation and a receptive listening type of meditation or prayer.
Energy was pretty lite Sat mainly sextiles 1 trine and a couple of quincunxes thrown in for good luck.
Except I find everyone drives crazy on a LEO moon because each person is like ME FIRST I Am the only one on this road.
May 27 Sun conjunct Mercury early am brilliant thinking!!!!
That LEO moon continues to charm the pants off of Venus and then even Saturn via sextile all before noon.

It’s Glee’s Chris Colfer’s BIRTHDAY

Glee’s talented Chris Colfer MAy 27 Gemini
click on the chart to see larger
May 27 is Chris Colfer of TV series Glee 22nd Birthday
I love Glee, and everyone loves Chis Colfer the openly gay, multi-talented singer, dancer actor.
Chris is obviously a GEMINI, which is a hermaphrodite sign, a Two sexes in One, charming, youthful, fast talking, quick-witted Gemini,that suits Chris to a T. A san openly gay man he has a very well developed feminine side.
I have no birth time for Chris so in the chart I am using is a NOON hour chart for one who is in the public eye.
His Venus at 26 degrees of Aries. He is impulsive and a go-getter in love. He wants to be the boss. Chris has Saturn opposite his Venus now. He is maturing, especially in his love life, tastes and values. Saturn is making him grow up. He may be torn between two desires now as well.
Chris seems to have the MOON is in Cancer. He is sentimental, emotional, close to his family his roots and traditions> Moon in Cancer brings out the feminine soft, nurturing, protective, caring side.
Chris has Chiron conjunct Jupiter in Cancer so his role is to be a healer form his own wounds and emotional hurts in a big Jupiter way for others. He has related how he was bullied by other kids for being gay and was home schooled during a couple of years. His character on Glee comes out,and this has made him a hero for may young teenage boys.
His Mercury @ 12 Taurus suits him perfectly. He communicates in a sensual, earthy, Taurus way. Taurus rules the throat, many singers have planets in Taurus. It is also his best year in 12 as Jupiter and many other planets have sashayd through the sensual stubborn bull-headed sign for most of 2012.
Chir’s Mars- his libido, his drives, his defenses are @ 27 degrees of PISCES. He is a chameleon and that’s what makes him such an excellent actor a perfomrer. He is highly creative, imaginative, dreamy, fantasy filled, humble,service oriented, compassionate. I’m such he is a sweet in real life as the character he plays Kurt Hummel on GLEE.
Like all of his generation born between March 1988 to the end of 1990 he has Saturn Uranus and Neptune in Capricorn.
Chris was born during Saturn Retrograde. That is a specifically karmic placement, indicating a karmic lesson a re-integrating of certain lessons which are unfinished with certain authority figures in his life. Especially men, and men in power. Also that he is revisiting his own place of power from past lives. Uranus and Neptune are also Retrograde. Saturn Uranus and Neptune spend 5 months of the year Retrograde so this aspect is tnot that unusual.
PLUTO is Retrograde at 15 degrees of Scorpio meaning its moving back to the middle and most powerful degree. Chris has immense charisma,lotsa power, control, has big desires and the will to get whatever he wants. He is mesmerizing because he allows himself to die into his roles and be reborn as whatever character he imagines. He is not fluffy, he has depth.
North Node at 9 degrees of Aquarius, his highest spiritual goal makes him a freedom-fighter, a renegade, a very stong person who sets his own style trends, fights on the front lines for individual freedoms and self-expression, He works well in groups.
His birthday this year is very powerful and positive with the Sun conjunct Mercury on his natal sun so his fame and communications skills will be shining brightly in more than one medium this year. H will take on film.
With his Natal Venus at 26 degrees Chris has Saturn opposite his Venus now. He is maturing, especially in his love life, tastes and values. Saturn is making him grow up. He may be torn between two desires now as well.
Jupiter is opposite his Natal Pluto , so excellent for travel, expanding horizons, deepening soul connections.This is more riches on the deepest levels possible.
Pluto is transiting his natal Uranus now so expect the unexpected Chris, with Uranus also squaring that, as has been happening for the last year or so.
Jupiter will enter Gemini and cross his Sun in Mid July so he may be touring travelling, connecting in a wider way. How much wider can it get?
Jupiter in Gemini lightens up everyone’s mood. This is also his best year in 12 with Jupiter cross his Sun. 2013 is the real Major year when Jupiter conjuncts his Natal Jupiter so he is striking very well for another two years.
Blessings to you Chris you are a beautiful young man, an inspiring light, agreat talent. Thanks
Mercury at 6 degrees II and Uranus @ 6 degrees ARIES
good for brilliant fast thinking outside the boundaries

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.
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.
another song:Lessons in Love by Level 42 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gt7mtdLha-c
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….

Saturn Re-loaded “critical degree” times by Tara Greene Astrologer Tarot Psychic spiritual coach
SATURN aka the cosmic cop is RETROGRADE @ 29 degrees, “slowly he turned step by step inch by inch…”
of Libra. The very last and Critical degree in the sign of Relationships, Balance, Karma,the Arts, the judicial system, beauty, the sign of marriage and relationships. All things in relationship to each other, which is in essence ALL THAT IS are being weighed in the Egyptian Great Goddess Maat’s scales of Justice. All relationship issues especially marriage are being revamped, repealed, revealed, re-enacted, renewed, renovated, reinvigorated, resting,reset, reviewed. The cosmic Doctor Saturn is giving us all a big prescription, a time for tonic. A general Rx time as this is the Retrograde glyph.
Interesting that as Saturn went Retrograde and The California upholding of Gay marriages law was reinstated.
NOTE on your calendars that the “critical weighing time” lasts from Feb 7 until June 25th!
Saturn, also known as THE GRIM REAPER will bring endings for many relationships that aren’t in balance on all levels to fold during this time period. Literal ones, his and hers ones and political alliances, Laws will be repealed, government imbalances will be brought under scrutiny, tax overhauls, arts funding, redressing what is fair and what isn’t on many levels. Saturn is considered to be ’exalted” in Libra which means it expresses itself in the most fair way as Saturn is always hard, harsh, Father Time.
So Saturn is giving us a last chance to redress all the imbalances with ALL OUR RELATIONS over these many months since Saturn entered Libra waay back in October 29, 2009 {with a small Retro back to Virgo} then straight ahead in Libra since July 21, 2010- read more about Saturn’s escapades in my entire article here http://taratarot.com/id34.html
The REALLY critical parts are Feb 7 – March 3rd when Saturn is standing almost still at that infamous 29th degree, grinding the message in as it were. Expect things to be harsh, tough, leaden,heavy, weighty, difficult, slow. So a lot of literally hanging in the balance, waiting with bated breath, waiting for the shoe to drop, so quiet you could hear a pin drop kind of thing.
Then Saturn will revisit that 29th degree from September 27-October 5th when Saturn then enters SCORPIO! And a new era begins.
A VERY TOUGH SATURN RETURN for those born 1982-83
BORN on January 1982,September 82-November 1982; then May 1983-Aaugust 83 ? This will be a very tough Saturnine REALITY CHECK! a Whopper of a hard ’n heavy one for your 1st Saturn Return for all of you kids born with Saturn and Pluto in late Libra. Life isn’t easy, no bed of roses, you may have thought your were ENTITLED, BESPOKE etc. unh unh unh.
Sorry Kids, I also have a son born in June of 1983. I understand but it is time to wake up and smell the coffee,the writing on the wall etc.
Also if you are A BABY BOOMER ? Born November 1952-May 1953, and then August 1953-October 1953
Your 2nd Saturn return will also be pretty harsh. Health issues,depression, arthritis, divorce will all be prevalent.
Although you also will have Neptune at the 22 degree point and Saturn will be conjunct your Natal Neptune planet of spirituality, illusion, delusion, addictions, bliss, oneness, yoga, ashrams and not to mention SOUL MATES. This means manifesting your highest dreams, letting go of material reality and following the higher spiritual path of someone who renounces material and worldly things. Many of the boomers will choose to opt for simplification and the pure life. And this will affect those born up until December of 1955 who have Neptune at 29 degrees.
What falls apart, down, into place, has worn out its welcome, will take mucho time to integrate back into place.
Who gets hit the hardest?
All late Librans of course born between Oct 15-22nd. Saturn goes back to 22 degrees of Libra. But also if you are born late in ARIES also 15 -22nd of March. CANCER July 15-22 and CAPRICORN, born Jan 15- 22 especially Capricorn as Saturn is your planetary ruler, head honcho, first in command.
If you know your natal chart check for where all the late degrees of these cardinal signs -22-29 degrees are in your chart to see where you will be tested. I can help guide you out of the murky depths. taragreene@sacredartscentre.com
YOU WILL BE TESTED. WE WILL ALL BE TESTED.
Think of it like this, the modern metaphor for Saturn Retrograde is just like going through Security at the airport. You have to wait in line for aeons, you have to take off your shoes,surrender your belongings, maybe get searched, patted down, invaded, x-rayed, etc. If you don’t past muster with the powers that be, you may be tasered, and hauled off for interrogation on suspicion of being a terrorist {substitute wall street occupier, political activist, revolutionary.}
But, there are other factors at work now like higher consciousness PLUS the influences of the infamous Uranus, planet of Revolution in early Aries squaring Pluto now one of the major hallmarks of 2012. Remember that Saturn is the Ancient ruler of Aquarius, until that planet was discovered in 1781 by Hershel, the symbol looks like an H.
Vedic/India Astrologers only use the 7 traditional ”planets” so Saturn does rule revolutionary Aquarius to them. So this brings in added meaning. Saturn Retrograde then will take us back over the revolutionary track that was laid over a year ago and was never completed to the people’s will and the peole will triumph and will be victorious in Syria, and also in Iran. I will talk about Iran’s astrology in the next article. Modern Iran was founded Feb 1, 1979 making it a,what else? an Aquarian country. Still needing the people’s revolution.
LIBRAN COUNTRIES
ARGENTINA AUSTRIA CHINA EGYPT JAPAN SIBERIA TIBET BELGIUM BOTSWANA FIJI NIGERIA UGANDA
How many of these are in the news these days? China’s economy will go south of the border. TIBET will demand freedom from China, Siberia, feeling its enormous raw materials wealth will also seek to break from China. Belgium is the seat of The EU in much trouble these days, and will see much more tightening of their belts.
MEDITATION TOOL
As Mars is also Retrograde in Virgo, the work sign during this time period Jan 24- April 14 things will feel decidedly S_L_O_W as
EARLY MERCURY RETROGRADE ALERT March 12 -April 4
From 6 degrees Aries back to 23 degrees Pisces on April 4 where it turns DIRECT. But it will take until April 23 till it’s past point of Retrogradation an dits clear communications again.
So take this very precious rare time, it’s a real PEARL, a gift, I call it FAT TIME, when time dilates and slows down.
especially when time is going so fast, a rare treasure to review, reset new intentions, relax, patience is a virtue now.
Meditate on where you’ve been, who you were then, who was/still is in your life, what you’ve been doing, thinking about.
What goals have you met? What have you learned? How have you changed? since 2010.
How were you anticipating 2012? Here you are!
It’s time to let go of all old habits, activities and action { MARS} old vendettas, hard habits, work and relationships both within and without that do not suit the new evolving higher consciousness and transparency that is being ushered in now.
Thar will be no fooling in relationships,to Mother Nature, in beauty,or injustice allowed after this time period. Saturn as Grim reaper will put an end to that sort of thing. We cannot evolve unless we face the truth, our inner truth and let die the old, outworn, patterns.
Just breathe. Follow the breath in and out naturally deeply slowly in through your nose into the belly out through your mouth. Say to yourself who is it who is breathing? over and over and over, Saturn brings discipline, routine, realness.
As you do this every day, you will go deeper and deeper into your Self. Simple be aware of your ingrained old outworn karmic patterns of thought, the behaviors, the patriarchal lead weight of rules that you were indoctrinated with.
If you are in a relationship the criteria to ask is Do you each honor the other? Are you equals? Whats the balance point?
Simply ask your Higher Self, your Guardian Angels to come and oversee you, simply let go of all the excess weight you are carrying. Ideas, beliefs, emotional weight that isn’t yours, your children’s issues, your parents, the weight of history.
Do this every day, write down what you have learned at the end of each session. It’s basically a whole month of the 29th degree. Be your own interrogator, get to the truth, the truth will set you free.
The song for this Saturn Retro is LIVE AND LET DIE by Paul McCArtney
Dont be afraid of losing your relationship, you can’t lose what you don’t really have. If you can’t set your loved one free then it’s not love. It is possession, and fear. The famous psychologist Carl Jung said there are only two emotions, love and fear. they cannot co-exist.
The saying is Art is long and time is fleeting. But now Time is slow,and so is art during the Saturn Libra retrograde. Make art, make beauty, make love.Love yourself,
No time for pushing and fussing. Allow yourself to remember how to relax. Spend time in nature if you can, do yoga, cook wholesome slow cooked meals. Be sentimental.
VALENTINE’S DAY WILL BE HEAVY, OLD FASHIONED
Remember the good old days and recreate them. The more you go slow now the more you will be rewarded. It’s still winter in the north,and in North America even though there isn’t any snow, be like the bear and hibernate, dream a lot, sleep a lot, think of Camelot.
Ultimately you will be freer than ever. This is the real serious necessary step and prep for 2012.
Blessing your shedding. You are like the butterfly entering the coccon stage. It will be dark and you are feeling restricted, the unknown can be scary or exciting. Deep inside, your inner knowing senses that something bigger, brighter, more glorious and freeing will emerge as you ALLOW to die your old habits so you may be reborn as a beautiful butterfly.
11:11:11 did U get the message 2 remember who you really are Tara Greene in Sedona
Have you been seeing those digital 11:11 numbers all the time on the clocks for ever now? O r even recently? or any combo of repeated numbers like 1:11, 2:22, 3:33, 4:44, 5:55, 12:12, etc? why is this happening? This phenomenon is a metaphorical digital trigger code.
The world has the symbolic remembering of the dead from he first and 2nd world wars which has been celebrated for many many years now on Nov 11 at 11:00 am.
When digital clocks were invented we began to see time in a different way. Instead of circular, sun wise time we now had new improved, digital symbolic time. Numbers as symbols. That was a big consciousness shift.
Al doubled numbers are called master numbers. 11 is the number of Memory, or aligning the One individual with the One Higher Self, or the human incarnation with its double, its mirror image, its Doppelganger.
11 is the twin pillars in Solomon’s Temple.
11 is the I & I, the I self and the You I self, the two each being conscious of their shared ONE NESS.
11 in the Tarot is a complex number as it can be interchanged with the number 8.
This is a bit of a mystery but suffice it to say the number 11 in the Tarot can be symbolized by the Tarot Trump of Strength, like the sign of LEO, or 11 can be shown by the Tarot trump 8 called Justice, or Adjustment in the Thoth Tarot.
11/8 8 when turned on its side is the INFINITY symbol, that is its is KARMIC.
Infinity is the symbol of all time being NOW. Past Present and future are all interconnected at the nexus, the centre still point, between the two.
11 is Memory, remembering, re-member ing. As such it is a pun on the Egyptian mythology of Isis and Osiris, and a lot of the ancient symbols originated in Egypt or further back from Atlantean and Lemurian times.
so Remembrance day was placed in our consciousness in 1917. Now the 11;11:11 is expanding that remembering from remembering humans who laid down their live sin war to a far greater remembrance.
It is said that when souls decide to come to earth agin, after they have worked out their perfect choices of who they will meet what they will do, who their parents are that they drink from the cup of forgetfulness, Leith, so that they can be unconscious of their past lives and therefore more challenged to get in touch with their soul purpose. We make it a challenging game for ourselves this thing we call life on earth.
the triple remembering is upon us.
The Mayan calendar has ended on Oct 28 2011 according to Calleman. The MAyan calendar and the Gregorian calendar which we reckon by has a differential of about 14 days. so the equivalent date would be guess what? Yes you get the prize 11:11:11.
Whether you are aware of or believe in 2012, a lot of New agers, and consciousness raising people, ascension people, merkabah, DNA activation extra stranded Sirian, Pleiadians, Arcturian Angelic healers, crystal skull aficionados etc etc. are all tuning into this Nov 11 as THE major gateway rip your consciousness open, rent that veil between the worlds, become who you really are Divine and HUman.
There are groups gathering world wide at many sacred sites to do ceremonies to gather to raise the vibrations of everyone on this planet.
Haven’t you been feeling this profound energetic higher vibration shift since Oct 28? I sure have. The apparent 13 crystal skulls have been on the move from their Mayan home across the U.S. of A. to purify it. A mysterious comet will be headed cheek to cheek with earth on Nov 8/9. A beautiful taurus Full Moon on the 10th and then, lots of consciousness raising.
Watch Drunvalo Melchizedek a famous sacred geometry researcher, channeler and angelic teacher talk about the meaning of 11:11:11
The purification is happening, just decide to drop your own petrified viewpoints about anything and everything in the world and watch it magically change! Presto chango!
No hocus pocus needed, no new age channelling even necessary. Just like Timothy Leary said Tune In, turn on, drop out.
I felt called to be in Sedona, Arizona from Nov 8th – 15 to participate in the ceremonies meditations and celebrations. So I so will be blogging from the front lines so to speak.
If you’d like to have a reading with me while I am there I can do that with Skype.
Do stop and tune in yourself, some people are aligning with the first 11:11:11 wave coming from New Zealand which will be equivalent to Nov 10 in the U.S. check your local time zone calculator.
I will be writing about the astrology of 11:11:11.
Trust, open, take back your projections, we are hear to create heaven on earth, my Buddhist teacher used to say. It has become a very popular phrase again these days.
Gotta get ourselves back to the Garden. We never really left, that was just an illusion.
Many Blessings,TARA
