GEMINI times,The Quicksilver Messenger service, mo’ Twin stuff, Astrology from Tara Greene
May 20 Sun entered Gemini II
Ruled by that fancy fleet- footed messenger of the Gods - MERCURY
used by FTD florist as their symbol
MERCURY is aka QUICKSILVER
QUICKSILVER?MERCURY used to be in thermometers, and whose actions, hard to pin it down, describes Gemini’s energies perfectly…Quicksilver is also a toxic poison but can also be used to heal in Homeopathy- don’t mess with quicksilver on your own.
And yes HERMES/MErcury iss most likely already in your head as fillings and can be very toxic to your health.
Mercury’s symbol is the caduceus. Not just an FTD Florist symbol, every MD in the world uses the caduceus to signify the healing profession of MEDICINE. The caduceus was originally employed by Chiron and Asclepius as snakes were used to help heal people in Ancient Greece, Snakes were used in the Oracles at DELPHI. Considered to be magical animals of the Goddess since always,two snakes entwined around the central staff or spine is KUNDALINI sexual energy. The caduceus is an ancient symbol of DNA; symbolizes the twin poles of consciousness, balance and the combining of opposites as in ALCHEMY to produce something entirely new. This is a deep psychological image.

5/23/2012=555 Numerology, get high,free,deep into the Mystic Astrology advice from Tara Greene
I’ve been away teaching up at the beautiful Grail Springs Spa Retreat www.grailsprings.com in Bancroft Ontario Canada for 3 days over the Victoria day long weekend in Canada.
I also led a ceremony there to anchor the Solar Eclipse and especially the spiritual kundalini roots of Neptune energy along the planetary grid lines which were exactly on Bancroft,and Toronto and aligned with Poseidon’s- NEPTUNE‘s Temple in Greece, the Oracle in Delphi, and Angkor Wat, Cambodia for the May 20 Zero degrees Gemini solar eclipse.
It felt incredibly GROUNDING at the Grail, we were outside, a group of about 22 people including 4 men, standing in a circle by the Chalice lake,it was very beautiful, I felt angels come in and surround the circle. One of the participants mentioned seeing an Anhk symbol, the Egyptian symbol of eternal life.
How was your Solar eclipse experience? PLEASE leave your comments
Wed. May 23 s a May =5, 23= 5 2012= 5 another 555 and a repeat performance of the same energy on a higher level.
Please see my video on what the 555 symbol means: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7rpzMY20Kw

PLUS the astrology elements total support this its an amazing day-
MOON enters CANCER @ 4:31 am PDT/ 7:31 am EDT
mood is sensitive, needs emotional security, eating is very important, nurturing, home, mothering, care taking, it’s easy to cry on a Cancer moon,
PLANTING your vegetable gardens? EXCELLENT TIME now -May 23- May 25 @ 3:11 pm PDT/ 6:11 pm PDT
Moon in CANCER is a Feminine water sign one of the best to plant on, or cut your hair on if you want it to grow quickly.
GARDENING BY THE MOON
I have a great little organic garden in my backyard and I planted some beans and peas and chard and lettuce from seed on the May 5 Scorpio Full Moon which BTW is the best Moon to have rapid growth on. I will plant the rest and mulch and add compost and do a fertility dance on the earth.
Ladies menstrual blood was the original super fertilizer, it still is. If you are “ON YOUR MOON” if you use those cups just save your sacred blood and mix it with water and water the earth with it. you can also soak your pads - hopefully they are non chlorinated, green pads, or cotton pads in water and pour that on your garden or flower pots, balcony garden etc. Use tampons ONLY if they are organic cotton, otherwise NEVER use tampons as all commercial varieties are very toxic, they cause cervical, uterine and ovarian cancers and most likely breast cancer as well.
SUPER NEPTUNE DAY!!!!
May 23 Moon Trine NEPTUNE @ 1:42 pm EDT + Sun square NEPTUNE @ 4:55 pm EDT
Book off work- pretend to suddenly get sick at lunch and go home-
In this 3 hour period and before then- don’t eat to heavy a lunch,try to avoid eating meat today,
definitely meditate, dream, fantasize, create, make love, smell the roses,
ask your Guardian angels to come and converse with you loud and clear,
smudge, do ceremony, get in a ritual bath, use lavender oil, put rose petals in the bath,
sing, dance, write, make art, read poetry, do yoga, create create create.
WOW dream awake your dream. Make a dream mandala, a wish list…
here’s some music to accompany that ITCHYCOO PARK by the Small Faces http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoPaBa6Ms6Y&feature=fvst
get grounded after all that amazing dream play because
Fasten your seat belts! @ 7:30 pm PDT/10:30 pm EDT the Cancer moon squares Uranus
there’s an emotional explosion to your gut feelings,a wake up call for freedom, time to leave your old emotional security baggage behind-GOOD RIDDANCE! and hop on the first plane to freedom out-of-town.
remember we are in high alert emotional tune up times!!
NEXT!
@ 10:34pm PDT Moon opposes PLUTO @ 9 degrees Cancer/Capricorn
This is staring your shadow in the eye! YES this is your deep SHIT coming up!
Ego stuff, is clearing and so people will be transparent now. Also watch your stomach as it will register any deeply held,secret power struggles, rage, control issues, victim/victimizer issues that need to be felt let out so you can receive the next astrological aspects
Moon TRINES CHIRON @ 11:30 pm PDT
these aspects occur on the 24th @ 1:34 am Moon opp. Pluto EDT
and 2:30 am Moon trine Chiron EDT
Moon trine CHIRON is an exceptionally healing energy! a blessing a boon.
Chiron was a centaur just like us Saggitarius folks like me. In the Greek Myths, Chiron rasied and trained Asclepius to be a healer. Asclepius healing rod showed two entwined snakes on it, which is still used as the insignia of all Medical doctors to this day
The Cadeusis is a Doctor’s Medical symbol of healing which has its’ origins in Ancient Greece from CHIRON and Asclepius
So this is VERY powerful spiritual healing coming at you.
Chiron was an immortal healer, now of service to us down below from above in the constellation of Ophiuchus {not really the 13th constellation}
It’s all in perfect order and harmony, Trine, oppositon trine…
My sense is the energy is ramping up faster and higher.
It’s 12 days till the next eclipse the Lunar one in Sagittarius and only 13 days till the VENUS transit June 5-6.
Let go of everything that has been standing in the way, get centered get real, forget all trivialities,
It’s all about soul work and staying at peak spiritual form,

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.
to learn more about the elements go to my website: http://taratarotweb.tripod.com/id21.html
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.!

Earth Day,3 day New Moon,Taurus month,No bull Astrology by Tara Greene
It’s Earth Day April 22 and how appropriate for Sun Moon Jupiter to be in the first earth sign Taurus. Some nice numerology 4/22 power and enlightenment. 22= the fool. speaking of Bulls, wasn’t Ferdianand considered foolish? but very wise was he, he loved roses.
our ancient ancestors worshipped the Bull constellation Taurus shown here with primary stars the Pleiades and Orion
From April 19-May 20 It’s the time of the sacred Bull
From Pre-history our ancient ancestors worshipped the BUll and painting hundreds of drawings in the caves of Lascaux France.
Now in America HOw do we we worship the bull? We eat ‘em by the millions in the form of hamburgers, steaks, etc and we use the image of the Bulls strength and power in the modern worship of Taurus, Wall Street. The Bull looms Large.
Shiva's sacred cow Nandi Cow's are Holy and never eaten by Hindu's
For thousands of years in India, Hindu’s never eat cows as they are considered Holy. Shiva‘s sacred vehicle, all the god’s reside in the cow.
In the Age of Taurus, 6,000 years ago, Bull’s were worshipped. Agriculture begun, and the Bull was the animal that enabled humanity to settle down from being nomadic. In Ancient Egypt they celebrated the festival of the Apis Bull for seven days. The scared bulls were paraded through the streets in a holy procession. Any child who smelled the breath of the Apis bulls were considered to receieve the ability to predict the future. The bulls themselves were considered oracles. Food was offered to the Apis bull while a question was asked, if the bull ate the food it was a good omen and if he rejected it that was considered bad. Yes Apis bulls and bees are related. Taurus wa the sign, the constellation which heralded the Spring equinox in ancient Egypt, not Aries as we are accustomed to.
The Moon is associated with Taurus, and the glyph looks like the waxing and waning moon or a bull’s horns 
The Moon is considered to be exalted in Taurus, Venus is Taurus Ruling planet.
The ancient Minoan civilization of CRETE is probably best known for its acrobatic games of BUll Jumping. This was a Cirque du Soleil ancestor.
Bulls were considered sacred to the Goddess.
the Lacota Sioux Native American’s worship the Bull as White Buffallo Woman who brought the most sacred Medicine pipe to this tribe
Since Bulls were once considered {and still are in India}, so HOLY and their meat not eaten. Modern western culture has turned the Bull worship upside down and we now shit on the Bull,whereas in India cow dung was considered prescious and used for fuel. We have become big Bull shitters ourselves, we have no more sacred Cows, except the bottom dollar B.S. of Wall street and the almighty buck, but that’s another animal.
So in hacing turned the sacred cow into a profane burger we become BULLIES in all aspects of ours culture. I loved finding that story about the Apis Bull’s breath and how children breathing it become prophetic. We are just now realising that bullying is dangerous, after having all been bullied by this top down, bullying, male dominated hierarchical structure. That is the negative bull. The archetype of Ferdinand, the soft feminine bull the server, is the real holy cow.
So lets savour our Taurus month here which begins with a Taurus New moon April 21 with Jupiter at 17 degrees of Taurus plus Asteroids Ceres the Earth Mother herself at 4 degrees of Taurus, plus Lillith at 14 degrees. There is a Grand Trine in earth on the New moon which also lasts till the 23rd. Virgo’s and Capricorn get the big benefits. Lets not forget that Scorpio, Taurus opposite sign is always involved.
- 10 ways to worship the BULL
1. Have delightful rose scented baths 2. eat lots of decadent chocolate 3. get & give massages 4. don’t B.S. anyone 5. eat very well, 6. garden 7. walk in Nature 8. don’t eat beef, 9. sit, dont do 10. enjoy being in the Garden of Eden and share it. Taurus rules the throat and they like to talk, although slowly. Yes get in the dirt and get down and dirty, plant your seeds that’s what Taurus time is all about.
Taurus is about the body, you Are your body,your soul needs the body, it is your temple, treat it well.
Taurus energy is Spirit grounding, It’s GUT INSTINCT
Psychic energy needn’t be all airy, or fiery, or watery. It is simply what your body tells you, and the body never lies! so simply your life, your spirituality, just let your body talk.Guess what Taurus themed song it is? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ow1gS3m1ckM
the New Moon lasts for 3 days, the number 3 is sacred to the Empress in the Tarot, 3 stages of womanhood, maiden, mother, crone.
so during the 3 dark days of the New Moon don’t go rushing out to plant seeds just yet -just stay in the VOID, from the 21-23
Listen, listen to your body, turn off your mind chatter,let go, be stubborn about this, this is the most fertile time Spring, this is Before seed planting time.
NEW MOON
The New Moon is always the most feminine time of the month. Traditionally, women lived in small tribes, groups, communities. Ladies you know how it is when you live with other women, you all synchronize your monthly periods, don’t you? Well before the invention of electric light, thanks a lot Mr. Edison, who ripped off Nikola Tesla, BEfore that time, all women were bleeding on the New Moon. So the dark of the moon, was considered sacred, as menstrual blood was a very potent magical substance. Women would retreat just as the Dark Moon into caves, yurts, tipi’s, moon lodges, red tents to rest, renew,dream, pray,and receive renewal as they shed the uterine living. They would bleed into the earth giving back to the earth mother. Menstrual blood was originally considered holy, potent, the liquor of immortality, because women bled and did not die. It was used as the first fertilizer.
So at this time whether you are “on your moon” or not. Act as if you are. go slow, rest, dream, be lazy. retreat. Be still and simply KNOW,that is Taurus’ essence. Practice being TAurus like, chewing your cud, grazing on the grass,being gloriously bovine as much as possible.
Other favourite Taurus pastimes, art, music, dancing, money, love, practicality. Taurus is the first Fixed sign, and they hates change.
You don’t have to be a Taurus
Everyone has Taurus the sensuous bull in their astrology chart somewhere.Everyone does…
If you need bullish advice for integrating more Taurus into your life!

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

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…”
the grim reaper Saturn
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
molasses
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 report from Sedona,Tara Greene psychic spiritual adviser
I journeyed to the magical red rock vortexes of Sedona Arizona along with many hundreds of other spritual seekers and other tourists who just happened to be here fot the event.
I arrived Nob. 8th which is the cross quarter day in the Amerindian sacred round of the year occupying the position of the North west on the wheel,
This is the place of karma and dharma the place of sacred magic ruled by the crow or raven, and in other teachings ve come across also symbolizes the Places of Power on the planet. Of which Sedona is well known, as well s the pyramids, Mt. Shasta, Lake Titicaca, Tibet etc.
It snowed the day before, and I heard the road up to Flagstaff was closed done. The 13 crystal skulls from Mayan legend, or facsimiles were brought to Sedona on the 7th and there were supposed to be ceremonies and 400 peopple showed up. But I heard that no ceremonies occurred. Drunvalo Melchizadek was on hand though.
There were many workshops,talks,lectures, info sessions,preparations going on by various and sundry spiritual groups and individuals: Chakra tours, DNA strand activations, ascention preparations, meditations, body work, vortex tours, weddings, chakra balancings, UFO sightings, crop circle info. exchanged, metaphysical music, sound healing performances, sweat lodges, horse back rides, clearings, past life channelings, Arcutrian, Lemurian, Atlantean, Sirian, Pleaidian, Zeta Reticuli, 10th dimensional, 9th Dimensional, walk-ins, NDE exchanges, Burning man devotees, John of God followers, Dahwn yoga,angelic messngers,deep trance, crystal healing beds, aromatherapy, hypnotherapy, rolfing,dancing, drumming,camping out, yoga, trance dancing,Kabbalah, Astrology, synchonicities, healings, searches for the Holy Grail, raw foodies, organic everything, arts and Mary Magdalen’s name bantered around everywhere. MM knows everyone in town here.
Nov. 8th I am a bit jet legged upon arriving. Check in at the Super 8. Symbolizes Super Infinity. My friend Jospeph-Mark a Kabbalistic Astrologer and scholar of many metaphysical mediums from Nelson british Columbia comes to fetch me as I don’t drive due to an unusual visual perceptual issue.
11:11:11 goings on in Sedona
OUr 11:11:11 ceremony was on Shnebley Road, by the area called cow pies. We created a tree of Life. set alcohol on each Sephiroth to make elixers with after. Did prayers. Circumnabulated the Tree 33 times in Total, Prayed in Hebrew, English, Sanskrit Sang, danced, It was joyfull. A couple was getting married off in the distance.
Spirit flattens me but angels save me
Our 2nd cermeony of the day occurred in Fay Canyon off of Boynton canyon. There is an arch or cave up a pretty steep climb. Some women came by to our ceremony where there was a natural mesa, we used herkimmer diamond crystals, and charged more alcohol for elixiers. Apparently this cave has Arcturian enegies. I had brought my Medicine Pipe and did an Native American Ceremony and prayers off to the side. After my cermeony as I was getting ready to walk down from the cave I suddenly fell, it was so fast, I landed flat on my face. I couldnt believe it, There I was face down eating that famous red rock dust and praying that my teo front teeth didnt get knocked out. And of course i am wondering what the heck was that? I had broked my fall with my hand and there was a little bleeding and I had a fat lip but seemed miraculously to be relatively unharmed. I was helped down by a nice man with climbing poles. I realized afterwards just how lucky I was and truly felt protected by the many many angels that are all around me now.
The woman who found the Holy Grail
Part 3 of my 11:11:11 involved a woman who had come to speak with my freind Jospeh MArk about his Kabbalistic and esoteric knowledge, We went to his freinds house and waited for peopple to show up for a talk he had intended to give. This lady claimed she had actually found the Holy Grail in Wales, it was an olive wood cup, traditionally used for wine in Sabbath ceremonies. She said it had been kept secret but that the crown of England had extensive documentation in secret of the healings that had been associated with people who touched it or who drank water form it. As hse told her story I could see and feel the energy as she told us about the miracle of the ever replenishing waters and how drinking from the Holy Grail made her a total lover and knower that there is only One Unity,no duality.
Well that is what the 11:11:11 energies are all about
She gave me a hug and I felt that christ like energy of enlightenment, divine love and acceptance come through her. It was excilerating.
NOv. 12
I go to have a special treatment on a chakra lazer bed. This is form the John of God healing center I believe. I had tried this treatment a few days ago and liked it. I immediately saw visions of the Goddess Isis as I lay on the bed.
This time I needed more time and was given an hour but was going so deep I asked for more time. I spent one and a half hours on that bed. It opens one;s chakra’s. Answers your intentions, I was given some specificinformtion.
Following a flyer we found at the Health Food Store,later we ended up at the Sedona High School where there was a special performance of dancing drumming and a Meditation Teacher who we didnt know anything about.
The teacher is a Korean breath teacher Ilchi Lee, a famous Dahn yoga instructir who has livedin Sedona for 15 years. He showed this amazing video which showed the benefits of breathing techniques. Here is a sample of this awesome footage of russian freestyle diver with Beluga whales insub zero waters swimming naked.
There were 3 big busloads of Korean tourists i think who drove in to watch this famous unbeknownst to us, cultish leader, he was fun.
One ting after another, people would show up to lead me or to absolutely synchronize into the flow of the ocnversation.

Venus in Leo! I am woman hear me roar! July 28 -Aug 21 plus Love,drama. Pres. Obama 50th,the whole Kit ‘n canoodle predictions by Tara Greene
Venus in Leo sure heats things up! Record heat waves, The Goddess is loud, proud, SEXY, in the spotlight, flashing red puple and Gold, taking center stage.
R U getting enough DRAMA these days?
Excellent time for passionate love affairs!
Fires are sparking everywhere!
Leo is the HEART, Venus in Leo is the Heart Flame! Wearing your heart on your sleeve.
Leo is Royalty, the King, the Sun, Gold, the Source, the Will, Center stage
Venus in Leo is the Queen, the Feminine Source, Golden Haired Goddess, Marilyn Monroe
It’s super dramatic, did they wait till the last minute to sign some sort of treaty re the DEBT?
It’s Mr. Obama’s 50th Birthday Aug 4, so Happy Birthday Mr. President
The President is going through what every 50 year old goes through. It’s called your Chiron Return.
Chiron whose symbol resembles a key, is an outer space object with a 50 year elliptical orbit. Discovered Nov. 1 1977 Chiron was, in Greek Mythology a Centaur, half immortal, rejected by his parents who became a great healer. Long story short, he asked to give up his immortality to quell the pain, he is immortalized as a Constellation in the skies. His discovery brings to our present day consciousness the unconscious psychological symbol of being human, of being archetypal vulnerable and therefor inherently, humanly wounded.
So where that little key is in your birth chart shows where you are the most vulnerable, wounded but also where the greatest healing lies, for as each individual heals themselves and the greatest strength lies in being able to open the wounds, show the soft underbelly, own it, take responsibility for it, cherish it, thank it, understand it, bless it, that we may become wounded healers for others.
And as Kurt Vonnegut would say, and so it goes.
So I send HAPPY BIRTHDAY greetings to President Obama. Lord knows we can all see the vulnerability, the wounds, he is feeling right now trying to fix a wounded U.S.A. It’s a mighty big job.
So lets take a look at Mr. Obama’s birth chart as he turns 50.
President Obama's birth chart and transits
Were you born in 1961?
then U 2 will have a Chiron return this year as well.
Mr. Obama’s 50th shows Chiron directly on his natal Chiron at 5 degrees of Pisces in his first house of Self. Who he is. What he identifies as.
Mr. Obama has Chiron opposite Pluto in Virgo in the 7th house of others in his Birth chart, indicating that he is a wounded healer with Big Soul, Big Power,[ Pluto} a rebirth, around health, work, service to others. Very intelligent, that's pluto in Virgo, a perfectionist, a very hard worker, someone who always gets te job done. The Chiron return amps up his innate wounding which he felt as a child. Pisces is the most spiritual and sensitive of all the signs, with no boundaries, feeling one with everyone.
I do believe and I tell all my clients that I totally know inherently that we chose our parents, our place and time of birth before we come into this life the characteristics, which allows us the perfect opportunities for our souls to grow,learn and hopefully to complete our journeys of why we came into this life time again, this time around.
Mr. Obama came into this life already spiritual already a wounded healer with a lot of power directed out to the world at large. A Pisces Chiron is compassionate, all-inclusive, can be a martyr.Being of mixed racial background is a perfect symbol for him.
Mr. Obama's North Node or highest spiritual goal is at 27 degrees 18 minutes of Leo in his 7th house, the house of marriage or all others, his interface with the world, and conjunct to Pluto. North Node conjunct Pluto is considered to be very powerful, very purposeful. Becoming President with a capital P. is his fulfilling his highest destiny.
27 degrees of Leo is conjunct to a very famous Fixed Star REGULUS, the heart of the Lion. This famous star is connected to the ArchAngel Raphael the healer of the heart. His South Node representing the Past, is at 27 degrees of Aquarius in his first house.
Neptune the planet of dreamers. chameleons, actors, addictions, illusions, delusions, Hollywood, OIL. HAs been passing over Mr. Obama's South Node and will do so again soon. He may seem tobe shifting his position, or being too idealistic.
Venus is now in Leo and Venus will make a Superior Conjunction to the Sun on Aug 16th at 23 degrees of Leo.
Every year the Sun is at the 23 degree on this date and co-incidentally it is the Anniversary dates of two very important festivals, gatherings, shifts in world consciousness.
Aug 15 017 1969 Woodstock
WOODSTOCK took place on Aug 15 16 and 15 in where else?
hundreds of thousands of young people arrived bare foot, long-haired, to tune in turn on drop out, create their own city, babies were born, musicians played as they never had before, Joni Mitchell summed it up in her famous song,
WE ARE STARDUST, WE ARE GOLDEN, AND WE’VE GOT TO GET OURSELVES BACK TO THE GARDEN
I just came across this TWEET synchronistically by Deepak Chopra like an hr ago! We are golden.
Also on Aug 16 and 17 1987 the HARMONIC CONVERGENCE
Jose Arguelles, who recently passed on, one of the co-founders of Earth day, declared these days a world-wide meditation and higher consciousness gathering and brought the Mayan calendar “end date” of Dec 21, 2012 into mass consciousness.
For these 2 days Light workers gathered at various high energy vortex power spots around the world, Mt. Shasta. Niagara Falls, Sedona Arizona etc.
I happened to be drawn to living in Sedona a year before there and arrived there at Spring Equinox in 1987 to find out unbeknownst to me consciously and after the fact that 10,000 people were scheduled to arrive on these dates in a town of 7,500 people. They did. I was there on Bell Rock and the Airport Vortex doing movement meditations. It was on National News.
My point is folks, that Venus the Goddess of women, beauty, love, harmony, balance the Arts is going to Kanoodle with the Sun on this very same date bringing the point that as in the Harry Potter Deathly Hallow’s part 1 – the Golden snitch says “I OPEN AT THE CLOSE.” cryptic words those.
So we are back to where we began this little story, Venus, the Sun , Leo, The President, Golden Girls- Marilyn Monroe, Happy 50th, anniversaries.
The Ancients called the convergence of Venus with the Sun “CAZIMI” meaning under the Sun’s beams, burnt out, disappeared, and evil.
As a symbol of what these dates have symbolized to the collective consciousness and to have this important rendezvous now means:
Now we don’t live in fear, but in insight from our hearts, the place that LEO rules. So throw open the gates of your heart,
Love loud and proud, not vaingloriously but un- egotistically. Venus disappearing, being swallowed up by the Sun,
means she is entering a Golden Palace, a Heaven world, and we as the microcosmic mirror of the Marcocosm. “AS ABOVE< SO BELOW>”
as She is dying to Herself to rise like the Phoenix from the ashes of her own immolation,
out of compete unselfish Love for the Sun, the Source of all Light and Life, to have her ego/self extinguished.
Venus will then no longer be visible as the morning star [ DAWN STAR} where she has risen so beautifully at night in the East,
she will go to the Underworld, the night Sea journey, to the dark side of the SUN, to be reborn many months from now.
And we must go with Her whether consciously or Unconsciously.
The Lust and speculation over Gold as security in a changing worldscape is a projection of our need for what Gold holds and trasmits, what it symbolizes. the Light of the Sun, our very Selves, our Golden Self, our Spirits, our Souls,. shining Lights, Stars.
.The symbol # 17 in the Tarot, The Star symbol of Aquarius and you remember that song, from another famous ‘60’s musical icon don’t you?
This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, the Age of Aquarius.
We are Stardust, We are Golden, and we've got to get ourselves back to the Garden. Thank You Joni Mitchell for so eloquently tuning into the cosmic vibe of Eternity.
Back to Obama
And as for Mr. Obama the Venus Sun conjunction occurs in his 7th house, on his Uranus, planet of REVOLUTION in-between that planet and LILLITH, at 20 degrees of Leo very near to his Descendant.
LILLITH the archetypal first woman proceeding EVE. Didya read that story in the Bible? Not just a women's songfest. LILLITH was the first woman, She was the original "I am woman hear me roar. " She refused to allow Adam to dominate her sexually, like an animal. Pointing out rightly so, that G*d had created Her and Him EQUAL, of the earth, so what the heck was he thinking?
He wasn't obviously, he was Unconscious. So Lillith took off and flew the coop and she left Eden. Yep that's right, she flew right outa there and went to reside by the Red Sea. Ok. Long story short. She refuses to compromise in any way and is demonized by the Patriarchs who were trying to re-write HIStory from He point of view, when everyone knows deep down in their cellular memories that it was and is and always shall be SHEstory.
That is a Matriarchal comprehension of the Universe, self-evident, common sensicle. So Adam is in the Garden and asks God to make him a mate. So G* d creates Eve to be the perfect Lord it over the women prototype and women are blamed, defamed, and eternally damned in this historical rewrite.
So what does that mean? Well I believe the Women will revolt and take back their power!!!!!!!!!!!! I am woman hear me roar!!! Venus in Leo, conjunct the Sun. Which is ungoldenly the Ego, vanity, greed, fear and in the Light, and spiritually the divine essence, the spirit itself, rising again as Divine Love.
So guys ya better start workin on getting nice to your own inner female side, yah you. You got one too. Everyone does. Ya'all never be alone ya know.
and I stumbled upon through sheer Grace /Synchronicity through a woman named Jennifer Hough, who I recenly met at the Grail Lady Faire at the Grail Springs Spa in Bancroft Ontario. http://www.grailsprings.com/
Tara Greene presenter at Grail Lady Faire 2011
she just had this on her FB page. It is a poem by David Whyte, the Washington based bard who began his writing lessons with It doesn’t interest me… which inspired my former teacher Oriah Mountain Dreamer to write a poem which was originally a newsletter which eventually became The Invitation,
as if you were alone. As if life
were a progressive and cunning crime
with no witness to the tiny hidden
transgressions. To feel abandoned is to deny
the intimacy of your surroundings. Surely,
even you, at times, have felt the grand array;
the swelling presence, and the chorus, crowding
out your solo voice. You must note
the way the soap dish enables you,
or the window latch grants you freedom.
Alertness is the hidden discipline of familiarity.
The stairs are your mentor of things
to come, the doors have always been there
to frighten you and invite you,
and the tiny speaker in the phone
is your dream-ladder to divinity.
the conversation. The kettle is singing
even as it pours you a drink, the cooking pots
have left their arrogant aloofness and
seen the good in you at last. All the birds
and creatures of the world are unutterably
themselves. Everything is waiting for you.

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 10th 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 %?
