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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

and some golden coloured honey, and or mead.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

and each time place it into your 3rd chakra.

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

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

INVOKE the triple golden dragon. 

 There will be more boon or beneficial days coming up.

Libra Full Moon, Easter, Passover,pagan Eostre Balancing act Astrology, Tara Greene insights

The 1st Super Moon of 2012  is April 6 A LIBRA FULL MOON @ 12:19 pm PDT/3:19 pm EDT/ 7:19 pm GMT  

I send Happy Easter Passover and Eostre greetings to all my friends clients and all who find my articles.

It’s GOOD FRIDAY and the 1st night of PASSOVER  just as in the original story of Jesus, so it is told, of Jesus, being condemned to die on the cross and  resurrected over the next 3 days. 3 is an ancient symbol of the number of days each month for the Moon to rebirth herself.  A very symbolic time for two major religions in the western world.

For the Jewish people Passover is one of the most important rituals and celebrations in their history. The Passover retells the story of the Jews enslavement in Egypt for 300 years, how Moses received the 10 Commandments and  freed the Jews from Pharaoh and their subsequent wandering in the desert for 40 years. The Passover has been celebrated for over 3,500 years. Themes of suffering, freedom, sacrifice, resurrection abound.

What does this mean for us now in 2012?   The effects of a Full moon lasts for the 2 week cycle till the New MOON so use this article as a reference as to how it affects your natal chart/planets.

 If you need personal Astrology, tarot, psychic, spiritual guidance just use this link: http://www.taratarot.com

Sun is at 17 degrees ARIES with Moon opposite in LIBRA. Full MOON’s  mark completions. Full MOONs are  fertile. A super moon shows the moon very large as it is closer to the earth, we get 5 of these a year. The closer proximity makes the Moon  more magical, romantic and potent. 

LIBRA Full moon is a balancing act, it is  karma. ROMANCE is in the AIR.

 IT’S COMPLICATED …

and complex relationship’s energies to balance.  MARS ruler of Aries governs the Sun at this time, is still RETROGRADE at 4 degrees Virgo  and moving very s-l-o-w-l-y till  April 13  where he turns direct. MARS ruler of Men, libido than means SEX, action, defenses, war has been RETRO boogy -ing since Jan. 23 at 23 degrees of VIRGO. It will take till JUNE 20 for MARS to get back up to form and make some real forward motion.

This is the slow period. MOON in Air sign Libra is ruled by VENUS now at 2 degrees of Gemini. Moon= moods, feelings and shows a  doubly airy, fickle, doesn’t know what it feels, confused feelings.

We were experiencing those lovely GRAND TRINES a week or so ago. Now the energy has shifted dramatically.

MARS opposite NEPTUNE at 2 degrees of PISCES and CHIRON the Wounded Healer at 7 degrees. Neptune and Chiron have been like twins since 2011 in very close proximity to each other. NEPTUNE is the HIGHER OCTAVE, or spiritual love, AGAPE the Greeks called it, of Venus.

Soul-mate stuff. CHIRON is the wounded healer, we are most vulnerable where Chiron is. In PISCES this is our open spiritual wounds. PISCES is the 12th house,  past life,  unconscious, self-undoing wounds. It is the in denial wounds, the scapegoat wounds, the workaholic, addictions to sex, drugs, health, working out, money, power,drop out wounds, it is the martyr, Like JESUS, in the TAROT, the Hanged Man.

But these wounds are part and parcel of our human journey, our in CARN{E} ation. As JESUS was both human and divine,when he asked God on the cross why hast thou forsaken me? Jesus was speaking from the human vulnerable separation point of view for a moment. We can all identify with that. When we know our true PISCES divinity, that we are all sons and daughters of God. We are sparks of Gods, holograms of all of creation then we have the LIBRA balance. It is ours to balance out the Human and the Divine within ourselves. 

The opposition of Mars retrograde in Virgo to  Neptune and Chiron has been rubbing our all too human imperfections raw of late. My clients have been expressing this and I’ve certainly been feeling that! Frazzled, tired, not good enough, too nit picky, working too hard, what’s the point? … Those three are also in square to the NORTH NODE at 6 degrees of SAGITTARIUS and to VENUS.

The NORTH Node symbolizes the highest spiritual goal. It is sitting exactly on my Sun right now. The North Node in Sagittarius is about honesty, truth, inspiration, optimism, teaching, adventure, the far-seeing goal. Sagittarius is the Galactic Center. The BLACK HOLE at the center of our Milky Way Galaxy is the Spiritual gateway of all souls and held in high esteem by many Indigenous ancient cultures not only the Maya.

This MUTABLE GRAND CROSS involves Mars, VENUS, Neptunian spiritual Higher love, Chirotic wounding, and the choice to re-balance  our relationships. What will YOU choose?

Jupiter ruler of the North Node and ancient ruler of Pisces is at 14 degreees of Taurus very BULLISH, strong stubborn and grounded at the middle degree.  Retrograde Saturn is opposite the Sun close to the Moon, we are very much at a pivotal point in humanity’s karma.

We choose to create our reality at every moment.  CHOOSE from the heart. This extended Martian retrograde period has the where the action is planet staying in VIRGO  from Nov 10 2011- July 3 2012. That’s almost 8 months in the hard work earth sign of analysis,perfecting.Remember the earth, Virgo is the Virgin, the Harvest, we all come from the earth, we are all Her children. Keep life simple, grounded, humble, on budget. 

PLUTO begins his annual five month retrograde on April 10. We will then deepen our journey like Persephone in the land of Hades, the Underworld, the soul land of resurrection, as Easter symbolizes.

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.

Royal Wedding Astrology Will and Kate’s Big Karmic Wingding by Tara Greene Psychic,

click the chart to blow it up, Prince William’s natal chart and transits on his wedding day

Yes yes perhaps we all latently wish we were British subjects too, no?  Love those accents, the tea and scones, the History, all that jewellery, the Upper Crust, the Queen.  A little eye candy preview..

http://youtu.be/Y8n7WQIXQDs  Royal Wedding with fred Astair’s famous dance on the walls and ceiling.

America, Canada & the media are going crazy especially this final week over the Royal Wedding. I know many of you wish they would just up and elope!  In between this weeks’ non news about Japan‘s Nuclear slow leak,Gadaffi  about to be offed by NATo, the Great Escape of the Al Qaeda former prisoners, were they watching Steve McQueen and Alec Guiness for lessons all this time?

 Lets look at the birth charts and combined chart of what may be the Future King and Queen of England?

Lets get down to it then. First we look at Prince William’s birth chart. shown above and the transitting planets on the Big wedding day

Firstly: Prince William was born on June 21, 1982 on the Summer Solstice and a SOLAR ECLIPSE !

Eclipse’s are numbered in cycles called Saros Cycles, they can last thousands of years. The Prince was born under Saros cycle 117 also called 2 Old North which began in 792 A.D. around the time the first recognized English King, Egbert, was crowned. William was born during the 1189th year of that cycle. That Saros cycle is due to end in 2054 AD when William will be 72. Perhaps that will signify the end of the Monarchy. He will be the last King.

Prince William’s life, like his Mother Diana’s and his father Prince Charles’ is heavily under the influence of dramatic changes and timing of events as these eclipses re-occur every 18-19 years on or within 1 or 2 degrees of his Natal Sun.

Prince William has seen this already in the Solar eclipse on his 19th birthday, the Saros cycle 127; when he met Kate at St. Andrew’s College in 2001. The total lunar eclipse at 29º Gemini on December 21 2010 also affected his life n that it fell opposite his Ascendant which shows a new emotional beginning in the Prince’s life, a woman’s influence with a Lunar eclipse, and marriage, it happens right on the 7^th house of marriage cusp, and being a fascination a North Star and much publicity generating millions of words and communiqués at the last degrees of Gemini.

He will see future eclipse cycles marking very important turning points in his life on his 38^th birthday Saros cycle 137,on his 57th birthday Saros cycle 147 and the final cycle on which he was born in 2054.

William is very much his Mother’s son and they share a lot of similarities in their natal charts.  Yes he does look like the spitting image of his glamorous very tall mother. They both share the same Ascendant Sagittarius. That also explains prince William’s large Horsy teeth, Your Ascendant or persona, or mask does resemble the Astrology sign its’ associated with.  Sagittarians tend to be tall and long legged and of course love horses, sport, easygoing.

They are both very emotional sensitive, protective, home loving; Cancerian’s who need lots so emotional security. Women love Cancerian men, because they are emotionally tuned into the Feminine wavelength. Having children is an important element in Prince William’s future. They both have their Sun’s in the 7^th house. The 7^th house is the house of marriage traditionally, and also the interface with all others in business and the world at large. So other people are your emotional focus with the Cancer sun here and as with Diana people feel the love, and are very attracted to that mothering nurturing energy. In a man it comes across as protracting the hearth, the mother and children, A very good thing to have for a future king to have, William will be very popular always. 

William and Diana also both share their Venus, planet of love, beauty, relationships, harmony, the arts, luxury, romance in Taurus where Venus rules in the 5^th house of Giving love and children! Venus in Taurus is earthy, sensual, and down to earth, gives beauty, charm, and good for singer and public speakers, is wealthy. Can be vain, stubborn and loyal. The Prince will definitely be a loyal devoted dad and want a good-sized family. But will Kate?

The Prince’s chart shows the Sun at 0º06’ Cancer and the Moon at 4º58’ Cancer. The Moon represents in everyone’s chart your Mother, your feelings and instincts, the Unconscious memories relating to the womb and the maternal feminine psychic energy.  In the Sabian symbols, symbols for 360 degrees of the Zodiac. Prince William’s Moon is conjunct symbol number 95, for the 5th degrees of Cancer. The symbol depicts “An automobile wrecked by a train.” Chillingly accurate for his Mother’s death in a car crash wrecked by a train of paparazzi chasing her.

Diana’s Venus at 24 degrees of Taurus is conjunct the Fixed Star Algol which has very bad negative associations with in this case love. William’s Venus is only 1 degree after hers. He will be vary wary in love, trust is a major issue. That is why he has only dated one woman.

PRINCE WILLIAM IS A TRUE BLUE BLOOD

Prince William Natal chart is SO ROYAL it is definitely a chart fit for a King, with Jupiter conjunct Pluto at the top of his chart, at the M.C. he has a powerful Jupiter planet of Royalty at zero degrees of Scorpio Retrograde conjunct his Pluto at 24 degrees of Libra also retrograde. In some senses this combination rules A BIG SECRET, to do with the Prince’s place of power and prestige in the world, with Scorpio it’s nature is all about power, espionage, death, transformation, the underworld. I shall say no more.

William’s Saturn is also in Libra at the 15^th degree and Mars in Libra at 9 degrees. The Saturn Pluto conjunction usually all in Libra is the hallmark signature of the Pluto in Libra generation more intensified in 1982-83. Searching for balanced equal partner relationships is what this is all about. Its is Karmic balance the books time for men and women. And with the two of them experiencing their 1^st Saturn return on the wedding date part of the unconscious excitement is the promise of a shared power on the throne and from the Royal/commoner balance.

Princess Diana’s Midheaven was at 23º Libra. She had Venus dignified in Taurus in the 5th of children and by Whole Sign houses, and then Venus is in the 6^th house of work too. Venus rules Libra also and this points out how having a son, a royal heir was part of her royal job description.

Prince William’s Pluto, power, control, secrets, the Soul is at 24 degrees of Libra.  Kate’s Saturn, planet of karma, responsibility, patriarchy, obligations, and maturity is exactly on Prince William’s Pluto. She is ambitious for shared power. This is a serious karmic configuration.

Prince William’s Libra planets are up in the 9^th house of philosophy, the law, the military, religion, travelling, and teaching. He also has the planet Neptune also retrograde in the 12^th house, which Neptune naturally rules as the planetary ruler of Pisces and all 12^th house secrets. Neptune is considered to be on his Ascendant, which is at 27 degrees of Sagittarius, exactly conjunct to the Galactic center, that huge blckhole at the centre of the Galaxy. Yes it is true the Prince’s persona does draw to him everything else in the Galaxy. Neptune is the planet of metaphysics, mysticisms, dreams, intuition, delusion, illusions, glamour, and higher love, addictions. With Neptune conjunct the Galactic Center Prince William is a super magnet for everyone’s projections, He is very intuitive, interested in lofty pursuits, higher law, justice, sportsmanship, humour, easy going, very romantic.

He also has LILLITH at Zero degrees of Capricorn. Lillith represents the Dark Feminine, independent, unwilling to compromise. She represents men’s greatest fear of being rejected by the Feminine.  Lillith represent the dark Feminine power to fascinate, unconsciously, this is a very powerful place for Lillith to be. Directly opposite the Prince’s Sun and on the world’s point too!

FUTURE KING DEFENDER OF THE DIVINE FEMININE ENERGY!

William’s deepest Soul purpose his greatest dream is to revile the feminine, the rejected Goddess, the wounded feminine, his Mother in particular. All over his chart he carries the marks of a deeply wounded deeply attached Mother’s son. His Venus at 25 degrees of Taurus is exactly conjunct Chiron the Wounded healer. We have seen this Blue blood subjected to the worst tragedy the sudden loss of his very loving mother at a very young age, 15.

Prince William’s North Node, or highest spiritual goal is at 13 degrees of Cancer in his 7^th house. The 13 th degree is exactly conjunct the Fixed Star Sirius. The star is considered to be of more divine significance than the 4 royal Stars. Known as Osiris to the Ancient Egyptians It is considered to be the Center of the Universe and shows immense talents in any field. It is the degree of the United States Sun who made its Independence Day on July 4^th for to conjunct its Sun with this Star.

The South Node, Not shown is always exactly opposite the north and shows, past life influence or the family story. At 13 degrees of Capricorn the South Node falls in his 1^st house of Self. He has come from rigid, all business, power striving, selfish cold, influence of History, the Patriarchy, the father. Saturn rules the sign of Capricorn and it represents the father, history, doing the right thing, following orders, doing what is expedient for the sake of the family business. In this case the Royal House of Windsor. The Prince’s highest goal is to turn away from that very cold, ruthless influence and give love, nurturing protection, and unconditional love to all he comes in contact with but especially in marriage.

They split up temporarily in 2007 as Prince William was undergoing massive emotional changes underground in the past two years as transiting Pluto opposed his Sun and Moon. I wouldn’t be surprised at all to find out in future years that the Prince went into therapy to deal with a lot of unconscious wounds around both his Mother and Father who are so so pronounced in his life. 

 

KATE’S chart

Now lets get to the lovely Kate Middleton born six months before the Prince on January 9, 1982 is ALSO BORN ON AN ECLIPSE –

A Full Moon and a total Lunar eclipse which was exactly at 19º16’ Capricorn /Cancer.  As a Capricorn she is earthy, responsible, very conservative, ambitious for power, and patient, which we have seen, her waiting 10 years for her Prince.

Born on a Full Moon she has two sides to her, the Capricorn Sun shining in the world, and her Moon opposite in Cancer extremely private. She is an extremely ambitious Capricorn, made the more so in that her Capricorn Sun is squared by Pluto, planet of power, control, secrets, sexuality, and by Saturn ruling planet of Capricorn and Mars too  in Libra. This woman has indomitable will to get what she wants. She wants a Libran Fare man.

No one has an accurate birth time for her so we don’t know what her ascendant is. She looks rather Libran to me but she has all those Libra planets..

THEIR CONNECTION IS SOOOO KARMIC!

Her SUN at 18 degrees of Capricorn, conjuncts the Prince’s South Node. She provides for him warmth, security a sense of strength and power for the Prince’s felts sense of a fractured over administered childhood. 

Her MOON is at 14 degrees of Cancer in her 3^rd house of communications but right on her IC of her most private part of her chart. This axis, the 4^th house IC is her roots, home, mother, privacy, and emotional needs. Kate’s Moon is conjunct to the Prince’s North Node. She symbolizes and feels to him like, his highest emotional goals and needs met. She is very traditionally feminine, and very private, needs emotional security too, and will definitely want children. Moon in Cancer is fertile. Her North Node is also in Cancer. And also falls in Williams 7^th house of marriage. So we see a dual symbol of the tying the knot in each other’s chart’s is extremely karmic.
Kate has VENUS at 7 degrees retrograde conjunct Mercury at 5 degrees in Aquarius. Venus in Aquarius and Mercury in Aquarius makes Kate an intellectual, a very unique individual who values freedom .She is a humanitarian, and the Royals will not make her feel any less worth being a commoner. In fact this is her raison d’etre is to be the one who creates equality between ordinary people and royalty. Emotionally she can be very cool and detached. Princess Diana also had Jupiter at 5 degree of Aquarius and her moon at 25 degrees Aquarius.  Venus Retrograde is also a karmic sign, I came back to meet my lover again and finish up old business.

They have a very sexual intense passionate relationship, Mars connected, Pluto’s, Jupiter’s. There is also a lovely Grand Trine in their shared charts of Mars, Venus and Chiron. It is a sexual healing relationship. They also share the same successes and strengths. A true power couple in all senses of the word.

In the next article I talk about the marriage chart the Wedding day chart.

St. Patrick’s Day,the Luck ‘O the Irish,the pagans by Tara Greene Astrology

by Tara Greene Astrology Psychic  & More Copyright 2011- eternity & beyond.

St. Patrick, Catholic Irish Saint,is known for driving the snakes out of Ireland. That story  is actually a cultural re-visioning. St. Patrick, identified with the shamrock, was no Saint and not lucky at all for the pagans who worshipped the Goddess. Ireland since time out of mind was a pagan, Wiccan, Druid, Nature, Goddess worshipping land. These people were demonized and ripped off by St. Paddy. 

St. Paddy is NOT Irish. Born in Scotland  to Roman parents around 387 AD.  Taken prisoner at 14, he was sent to Ireland as a slave. He studied the language and learned the customs of the people, original Nature loving, pantheistic earth worshippers. 

As the story goes, Patrick prayed to God. He had a dream he was to leave Ireland but the Irish people were calling him back. He studied to be a priest. He became a Bishop and was sent back to Ireland to teach the Gospel. He arrived at Slane on March 25, 433. Patrick converted many thousands of people including Irish Kings who were moved {or threatened} upon hearing Patrick’s message. He himself had many disciples who were all later canonized. He preached for over 40 years, apparently worked many miracles, and wrote of his love for God in his confessions. He lived in poverty, travelled and endured much suffering and died March 17, 461 AD. at Saul, where he had built his first church. It’s 1,550 years since he died. 

THE SHAMROCK

Patrick used the shamrock, as the symbol of the holy Trinity. The SHAMrock or clover {note the sham pun in shamrock, puns are always give a ways} is originally an ancient PAGAN SYMBOL of the GODDESS, the original Holy TRINITY, the TRIPLE GODDESS, whose phases we see as the Moon waxing and waning.  

The Triple Goddess, like the Roman God Janus, who was also an overlay of the original Goddess worshipping religions, represents the past present and future. Christianity like Hinduism, Judaism, Islam always incorporated former religions but then skews the original meaning, usually inferring the opposite.

Catholic pagan symbol Sheila Na Gig

St. Patrick was famous for driving the snakes out of Ireland, meaning he drove the pagans out/converted them. The snake is a euphemism; the snakes symbolize the Goddess, rebirth, sexuality, eternity, and wisdom. Snakes were always her honoured symbol. In the re-writing of the Goddess history, the propaganda popularly known as the Bible, tells how in Genesis, the snake was turned into evil and Eve made to be seen as wicked, the original sinner, forever dooming women to hardship in birth, and never able to repent.

 

Cretan Snake goddess worhsipped for thousands of years

It is the worst most wicked, horrible, most ridiculous LIE,  filled with self-hatred, hatred of life, divorced from nature. It  was of course built on the foundations of Judaism and the old testament which was the historical very violent story of the crushing of the Goddess religion, the defamation of the Feminine.

Everything the Goddess stood for, love of Nature, the Feminine relating principles, honouring life, children, sexuality etc. was made bad, indecent, devil worship by the Catholic Church and the Bible.

Christians thank him the conversion of the ancient Irish pagans. But in the name of Christ who tolerated all peoples, honoured women and preached love of thy neighbour, pagans especially women,who were labelled witches and -worshippers,were tortured to convert, and had their properties and rank stolen from them.

 To some Pagans, wiccans, druids, Goddess worshippers St. Patrick is a despised person who drove the Irish people from their original faith.  Some Wiccans may actually enjoy the celebration because of its “hidden” Pagan meaning, and smile when they see devout Christians wearing the shamrock, the Goddess’symbol proudly.

As in the Mists of Avalon, the re-telling of the Arthurian and Grail legends from the original Pagan Goddess worshipping aspect, the Goddess in any name is still Her energy. Goddess worship is earth honouring, egalitarian, matriarchal. 

Just as the white people carry a collective karmic debt and shame for destroying Indigenous peoples earth worshipping religion and cultures. In Canada,there is now a token giving back, as in the Queen Charlotte Island being renamed in their indigenous tongue and land treaties give native people back the lands and bones or historical relics taken in colonialized plunder, as in Egypt and China that were stolen from them. 

Perhaps we should rethink St. Patrick when we’re out in the pub drinking green beer, wearing shamrocks, and singing When Irish Eyes Are Smilin’ and Oh Danny Boy and at least toast THE GODDESS. Because as She says: “All acts of love and beauty are my worship.” 

And speaking of Ireland. The name Tara, popularly connected to the Hills of Tara, and the Kings of Tara is originally a Goddess name. Tara, whose ancient worship continues today,She is still worshipped daily in India and Tibet.  Green Tara whose name is originally SITARA, means the Stars. Therefore she is just like the Egyptian Goddess of the sky, where all life originated, the goddess Nut, or Nuit, aka the Milky Way Galaxy. Hey we don’t call it a Guyaxy. 

Sitara, her name means the Galaxy, all that is, She is the original creatress, Mother Nature. The Sitar is her heavenly music, the music of the cosmos. Her worship is so ancient and widespread it ran from India all the way to Ireland.

In English Tara =Terra in Latin meaning The EARTH. Eartha or Artha in Sanskrit means the Earth. All the names have an etymological root from Sanskrit considered to be a holy language. So in India and Tibet the mantra, the prayers for Tara invoke her vibration, as chanting OHM is considered to be the original word of God. Tara actually has 21 different manifestations, colours and dances representing her powers.  Green Tara is Mother Nature. 

Chanting her mantra or saying these words brings protection.

Om Tara Tu Tara Tura Swoha. The Tura is pronounced Tooray.

For Japan and all the desecration of Her Planet please chant these words to divine Goddess tara.

Nuclear meltdown in Japan,women have the anti-dote, SuperMoon by Tara Greene

March 12-14th 2011 With the 2nd or 3rd Nuclear power plant at the Fukushima plants in meltdown and dangerous types of nuclear fuel used this is  a very dangerous situation and is being covered up in the media. see

http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/nn20100823a7.html

I meant to write feminine and masculine and my Freudian unconscious slip went  faminine and mesculine as in the famine of the Feminine created by the mess of the masculine. How apropos.

The latest powerful earthquakes and  tsunami’s in Japan is the earth crying out for women to pay attention to her and act in right relationship.  If we are really humanKIND we must act kind, we must be kind, we must reKINDle ourselves in harmony with the heartflame of Grandmother Earth.

We are all Her children. We are but little specs, like ants upon her bosom, see how fragile we truly are when Mother Nature shakes us about, she is showing us who is boss she’s giving us humans a time out for acting badly to her. 

MOTHER EARTH, the Divine Feminine is full of unconditional love for all of us but we, MEN  have raped and abused her for thousands of years now and her womb,the oceans are polluted and the air, her breath and the earth, her body had been so ravaged by greed and masculine dominator models for over 5,000 years. None of her earth should be mined, blasted, no oil pumped out, no radioactive materials used.

Any mistreatment of women and children who are created in her DIVINE IMAGE, Feminine like Her Self is an affront to The Goddess= Our Mother. To further strengthen our commitment to the 100th anniversary of International Womens’ day we need to honour the earth with our bodies and our blood more than ever. Desperate times call for ACTION and commitment.

Women- written by Canadian Singer Nancy Ward  from her album

To the Planters of Trees produced by Jack Lenz. 1989{ ?}

Women, we are strong like the trees,

we can bend in the wind,

we can bend in the wind without breaking

Women, we are patient as mountains,

we endure like the rivers,

 we are waters on the storm,

 we are peacemakers.

Women, Mother Earth is our baby,

 she is sick and in trouble,

 Mother Earth is our baby,

 our own, Mother  Earth is our baby, our own.

People, we must call on our powers,

from the earth sky and waters,

 we must heal Mother EArth with

our Beauty, our Beauty 

 we must heal, Mother Earth, with our Souls.

Holy Grail, Sacred Blood heals the earth

In ancient times Women’s menstrual blood was considered Holy, the Sacred Blood of Life. The Holy Grail is the womb itself the Sang Real is royal blood. Menstrual blood was the first blood used to fertilize crops, the beginning of agriculture. The red carpet which we know to today used by Hollywood stars denoting power, wealth, beauty was originally a special carpet that women  bled upon which gave it its power. 

Women your monthly period is your sacred menstrual blood of Life and will help to heal the earth. As in homeopathic cures, like cures like and in magick intention is everything. We must give back what She has honoured us with, the Gift of Life and to give back .

You know this in the deepest part of your wombs in your unconscious in your cells. All you have to do is get past the programming and remember what your body tells you. Ask your womb if it is holy? Is your monthly bleeding time sacred? Is your monthly flow not the root of and intended to bring forth the miracle of life? How could it be any other way? We need to move out of unconsciousness into empowerment and enlightenment, this is it. Your body hold the magick. You need to free yourself til you can laugh at how ridiculous it is to believe that your sacred body and its natural flow could be anything but sacred and holy.

If you are a woman who still bleeds, save your blessed menstrual blood in a non-toxic pad or cup and pour some onto the earth or in a body of water with a prayer of powerful intention to heal mother earth NOW. This will greatly benefit the earth and all her relations.

Especially at this very powerful u[coming Super Moon on March 19 when the full Moon will be closest to the Earth in 20 years, if you are bleeding then use that time especially. Anytime and always is the best time. Give back to Mother earth that which She has given you. This is ancient pagan wiccan ceremonial magick. It is very powerful menstrual blood,  that is why there was all the taboos about women bleeding. 

I made a vow at a women’s ceremony in 1992 to teach women and young girls about the sacred power of their menstrual blood. I  offer to coach to educate, to lead ceremonies and rituals.

Aquarius New Moon Feb 2-3 

All the planets are bunched together in a very tight basic 90 degrees configuration all in the higher evolutionary signs- Venus is at 28 degrees of Sagittarius RIGHT ON THE GALACTIC CENTER on the New moon. Values are Inter Galactic large open. Chiron is at 29 critical degrees of Aquarius. The furthest ahead planet is Jupiter at 2 degrees of Aries exactly pressuring the North Node at 2 degrees of Capricorn. Pressure to grow, change the old established ways of power and authority-i.e. Egypt’s revolution perfectly fit this ocnfiguration.

SATURN SINGING “ALL BY MYSELF” in Libra.

The only planet all by his lonesome is stalwart Saturn, silver haired and in his exalted state at 17 degrees Retro of Libra. The only other main planet is Asteroid Juno at 28 degrees Rx. of Virgo, she is opposite Uranus and Jupiter. A T- Square of dynamic proportions urging new revolutionary changes, Feminine wisdom- Juno is the feminine form of Genius, which meant an exclusively male form of Genii. Yes we need this particular location now. Saturn is asking us to stand back and access the situation with a cool Hand Luke kind of Paul Newman gaze and rebalance rebalance rebalance.

Feb 3 MERCURY ENTERS AQUARIUS  @ 2:19 pm PST It’s GENIUS THINK TIME till March 9

Communications, the idea bank, the big picture, group thinking gets bigger higher broadband freer, way out there and more expansive while Mercury is  in Airy Aquarius. Think of yourself wearing Mercury’s groovy winged hat, those fab matching winged sandals and carrying that cadeusus.

VENUS ENTERS CAPRICORN  FEB 3 @ 9:59 pm PST– March 2nd

Venus leaves fiery sag behind her and dons her brogues and all business suit. Values, money, women’s issues, arts, relationships, love gets very practical and all biz. Just the facts ma’am. Budgetary cuts lean thinking, cutting off excess,Hard work, corporate hierarchies, older women, Female seniority, Crones, are the memes of the day with Venus in Capricorn. Committed relationships, attracted to older others,

WATER, major issue as CHIRON Re-ENTERS PISCES again FEB 8 12:10 PM PST for 7 YEARS!!!!

This is a long-term major cycle. Chiron briefly touched his toe into Oceanic Pisces April 19- July 20 in 2010. The first day of Chiron in Pisces the Deep water HORIZON BP OIL rig blew and spilled unknown tons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico creating one of the worst eco-disasters ever. So expect more of the same as Chiron is the Wounded Healer, in Pisces he will stick his finger symbolically in wherever we are wounded, vulnerable, sore, covering up, in denial of. We are 70-% water. So is the earth.

We need to drink many litres of pure quality life renewing litres of water each day to stay alive. It is the 2^nd most important life-giving nutrient after air. Water resources will be a major scarcity issue. The oceans, purifying sea water, energy from the oceans, new life forms, who owns what around water. Dying oceanic life forms as well, no more fish left in the seas, whales doplohins, extinctions. Not good for us humans at all.

PISCES is also the sign of religion,spirituality the arts,

OLD fashioned religion is on its way out. Despite religious fundamentalists, fanatics the old religious games are ending. Teh Church will lose its power, more and more people are cecoming pagan, discovering yoga, other forms of imminent religous experiences,not authoritative religions. Did I mention Pisces rules drugs?  Allready very big- touted by Daniel Pinchbeck, Terrrence McKenna et all - ayahuasca and San Pedro two South American indiginous medicine plants will gain huge followings as ways of  directly experiencing other realities,used for religious cermeonies.

Art will become more of a spiritual vehicle. Colours will be softer greens and blues, more subtle, sensitive.  Neptune rules Pisces and it in turn rules OIL, It is the end of OIL as Pisces is the last of the signs. We are reaching the end of an era on oil dependence over the next 7 years. Pisces is also escapism, Hollywood, film and photography, addictions, viruses, ashrams, karma. Chiron also known, as Soul tenderizer will stick it to each and every one of us dealing with our own karmic issues, our addictions, our martyrdom, and our victim hood.

Hollywood itself will go through another upheaval in entertainment, direct mind to mind entertainment, dream recall.  Inception is the prophetic film released with Chiron in Pisces.  The danger is mass escapism into mindless drugging, as the consciousness gets higher and more refined and a lot of “Sheeple” are afraid.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST MAYAN CALENDAR RECKONING  The 9TH WAVE BEGINS SOON

We are on an evolutionary turning point this year. Almost at the last day in the Mayan Dr. Calleman reckoning which begins  MARCH 9 2011. There’s only  234 days to complete the UNITY WAVE, the final approach to ONENESS CONSCIOUSNESS. THis is the alternative to Dec 12 2012 MAyan calendar date. There are a few schools of thought on this cycle and how consciousness is expanding at faster and faster rates. Over the last 16 BILLION years, we are now at the last level. Time as we experience it, is now 20 x’s faster than it was only a few years ago. Dnt you feel it? Information is definitely whats moving faster.

According to Carl Calleman the 9^th wave of evolution ends 10/28/1 1

Awesome consciousness awakenings are beginning everywhere! Time to wake up!!!!

I am here to help assist you.

Imbolc,Candlemas,St. Brigid’s Day,Groundhog Day Feb 1-2 Tara Greene rituals

Feb. 1st –2nd IMBOLC Traditional Irish and Pagan Holiday Celebrations

 

 

 

Traditionally what we modern Westerners know as Groundhog Day was and is, on Feb 1st or 2nd is celebrated in the Modern Irish Calendar as Saint Brigid’s Day,or Bride’s Day. Both a Catholic and an ancient Pagan Celebration,an ancient Goddess tradition, also called Imbolc, still celebrated by Wiccans/Pagan based Earth honouring religions. Christians overlaid the Ancient Goddess worshipers’ holiday renaming it Candlemas or the fest of the Purification of the Virgin. This celebration also relates to the midpoint between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox.

It is a “cross-quarter” day in the 8 rounds of the Wheel of Time in the Solar based year. Since the Celtic Year was based on both lunar and solar cycles, it is most likely the holiday would be celebrated on the Full Moon nearest those 2 midpoints, when early spring flowers would begin to rise up through the snow, and snakes would come out of the ground. This is the precursor of the Groundhog, which the Romans replaced with a Hedgehog, which we… On Feb. 2nd this year there is a NEW MOON IN AQUARIUS at 12:45 am EST.
That Ancient peoples of Ireland kept this day as very sacred. At the Megalithic and Neolithic sites, such as the Loughcrew burial mounds and the Mound of the Hostages in Tara, Ireland, the inner chambers of the passage tombs are perfectly aligned with the rising sun of both Imbolc and Samhain attesting to the value placed on this day.

Triple Goddess/Saint Brigid/Bride

She is according to Robert Graves, the most Ancient Triple Goddess worshipped since time out of mind. The Goddess rules over scholars and poets. She is the Goddess of fire and inspirations in Ireland, the Goddess of poetry, creativity, smithcraft and healing. She also rules healing with water, and divination. She is said to rule over people who work with cows and chickens, brewers, fugitives, midwives, infants, printers, sailors, travelers, New Zealand, & Irish nuns. This day symbolizes a time of transitions, initiations, new beginnings, of planting seeds that will sprout later. Brigid/Birgita represents the light half of the year,Her power brings the people out of the dark season of winter into spring, so, it is a very important time of the year.

She is the Goddess of Augury

In the Druidic tradition, poetry and augury were associated. She is patron of prophets and seers.

Celtic seers divined by looking into deep water and into flames. This is a great time to do divination. STare at a candle, a fireplace with conscious intention. Call upon Brigid to come to you.

Triple Goddess

She has two sisters with the same name. One aspect of her carries a blacksmith tongs and a sword, because she is also patroness of war; another aspect holds 2 healing snakes, from which the modern Doctor’s symbol is derived, the caduceus, the third aspect carries a wand with a crescent moon and a tablet.

Elements

Brigid rules the Waters. Many healing springs are dedicated to Brigid. Natural bodies of water also signify Her presence, particularly where three streams joined together. She also rules Fire, so it is customary to make candles for the coming year and bless them on this day.

Protecting Goddess

In her aspect as Brigantia, she carries a spear, an orb of victory, and wears a war crown. She symbolizes protection of the country from invaders and slavery.

Midwives

As Patroness of Midwives, she was invoked at the door of the home where the woman was giving birth, by the midwife. Who speke:

Bride, Bride, come in! Thy welcome is truly made, Give thou relief to the woman, And give thou the conception to the Trinity.

Brigid is the guardian of every newborn, their cradles protected with a woven Brigit’s Cross, an equal armed cross. Upon a safe delivery, the infant was blessed or “sained” by the midwife, with 3 drops of water on the child’s forehead, dedicating the Child to the Triple Goddess. The “Holy Trinity” in its modernized Christian aspect, was just an overlay of the Goddess Triple Aspect since time out of memory. A candle was carried ‘round the bed sun wise three times. As Brigid is a Solar Goddess. We think of the Sun as masculine but originally all aspects of the Universe were considered Feminine.

Brigid Ruler of the Hearth

Especially in Gaelic Scotland, Brigid’s dolls are placed near the hearth on her Feast Day. The doll is usually dressed in white, decorated. A white wand is placed in her bed as a fertility charm. As she is patroness of agriculture, pastures, livestock, and abundance. An offering is made to her of dairy products. The Brigid doll is kept throughout the year near the hearth hung on a wall, or by a door, as a talisman of protection, then burnt the next year.

Light a Candle and Invoke the Goddess at this time-

I kindle this candle in the name of Brighid, Goddess of Smiths,

I sain this house in the name of Brighid, Goddess of Healers,

I smoor this candle in the name of Brighid, Goddess of Poets.

One folk tradition still continues in both Christian and Pagan homes on St. Brigid’s Day is that of St. Brigid’s Bed. Girls and young unmarried women create corn dollies to represent Brigid, these are adorned with ribbons, baubles shells or stones. A bed is made for the doll to lie in. On St. Brigid’s Eve Jan 31, the girls gather together in one house and stay up all night with the doll, are are later visited by all the young men, who ask permission to enter the home, and then treat the young maidens and the dolly with respect. The next day the girls carry the doll through the neighbourhood from house to house, where she is welcomed with great honour. Adult women stay home to welcome the Brigid procession and offer snacks and coins to the young girls and maidens.

Brigid is said to walk the earth on Imbolc eve. Feb 1st. Before going to bed, each member of the household may leave a piece of clothing or strip of fabric outside for Brigid to bless. The cloth are brought inside the next morning, believed to now have the powers of healing and protection.

BRIGID is alive and well.

The name “Britain” is a derivation of Brigit’s name. Britain was named for an ancient Celtic tribe, the Brigantes, who were the largest Celtic tribe in the country in pre-Roman times who worshipped Her as their Deity. The tribe originated from an area now called Bregenz in Austria near Lake Constance. The word “brigand” comes from this tribe of fierce warriors. Her symbol is a flaming spear. Her worship spread, leaving behind places named in Her honour-Brittany in France, Brechin in Scotland, the name Brent, in England, any name containing Bride. Britain’s symbol, the Goddess Brigantia, still found on their 50 cent coin is Brigid in her aspect as Goddess of the Land. In Old German/Yiddish the word “Fabrent” meaning burnt honours this Ancient Goddess. Of course Britany Spears is carrying the modern archetype of Brigid, and strangely enough one of Brigid’s symbols is a flaming spear!

A Sample of prayers used at St. Bridgid’s Day

Light 1 candle-

We gather together in this time of darkness. We look to the return of the light.

We look to the first light of Spring.

(Light two more candles.)

Goddess Midwife: Healer, Nurturer, and Herbalist.

Goddess Poetess: Bringer of Wisdom, Guidance and Prophesy.

Goddess Smithcraft: Keeper of Fire, Craftswomen, and Transformation.

Maiden, Mother, and Crone – A Triple Goddess.

Her symbols are Brigid’s cross, the flaming arrow, Brigid’s bed.

It was customary to write wishes upon scraps of cloth

and tie them to the bushes near her sacred wells.

This is Her Time of Year, a very special moment.

Her day is the Second of February,

A day upon which to seek wisdom from inside the Earth.

In the time before Patrick, serpents were sent

because they dwell in both worlds, above ground and below.

In Christian Times, the serpent became a Groundhog.

Our lady is a goddess of many aspects: Crone, Matron,

but she is pictured most often as the maiden.

Chant: Welcome Brigid, Welcome Brigid (the burning arrow of the power – Bridgette)

(Candles are lit. Maiden Goddess appears.)

Brigid: Blessings of the season upon you, my People.

I am She, that is the natural mother of all things,

Mistress and governess of all the elements,

The initial progeny of worlds,

Chief of the powers divine,

Queen of all that are in the other world,

the principal of them that dwell above,

Manifested alone and under one form

Of all the Gods and Goddesses.

Festival of coming Spring, Groundhog Day

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

Persian magic carpet and magic cat

copyright Tara Greene 2010-infinity

Pets, always popular. Cat-o’ tonic. This beautiful cat appeared on  our front lawn when he was a kitten, July 4, 2010.  My daughter named him Prince. He smells like olives. I’ve had many a cat in my day but never found one that smelled of olives before. Someone thought he smelled like pizza. Something about this guy opens my heart. We have telepathic heart to heart transmisssions when he sits on my lap. He is very tender, a “licky” cat.

I have always wanted a Persian carpet. When in Istambul Turkey years ago I went to a real Persian carpet factory. I loved them. I put down a deposit but my parents were too cheap and too paranoid to trust that you could buy an authentic persian carpet and have it arrive in canada. So they had me ask for my money back much to my dismay. I did get the dollars back. Many years later still wanted a Persian carpet. I always imagined real flying carpets, the magic carpet ride.

As is often the case in my life, whilst on a totally other errand, I happen to stumble upon… an oriental rug store which was having a 75% off real sale. We fell in love with this one the cat is lying on. I am trying to validate its worth. We love it. It has very trippy kinda looks like a repeated pattern of a blue submarine. Look towards the cat’s tail for this detail.

The carpet is a wool hand knotted from Mashad Iran  carpet. 10 x 6 ft 7 ” It’s age? 10-30 years? Has some irregularities, pile is a bit uneven, one part of outside border was cut in the weaving. Anyone know anything about these types of carpets?

MERCURY RETROGRADE TIME AGAIN -DEC 10-30

I PREDICT lots of returns on an Xmas Holiday Retro. A sentimental old fashioned Xmas. Mercury started out at 5 degrees of Capricorn and will end at 19 degrees of Sagittairus. Will take till Jan 18 for Mercury to get back to Retro turning point again. Lots or re-visions to new Years resolutions.

ARE YOU SLEEPING LATELY? FEELING VERY WIRED? IT’S PLANETARY

I am feeling it and I am meeting lots of exhausted folks these days. I know it’s that Uranus/Jupiter conjunction making many a head spin. Its exhausting, don’t need no coffee in my cup. I feel very wired and cant sleep at night alternating tons of energy with deep exhaustion yet still keep perking. How long is it gonna last? Exacerbated by the Big Lunar ECLIPSE Winters SOLSTICE DEC 21 2010. -

see separate WINTER SOLSTICE page

 Till…JANUARY 22, 2011 when JUPITER ENTERS ARIES – note the 11,22,2011

Jupiter kicks off the shock of the New – Jupiter is hurtling through 3 signs this year! Unheard of!!! Time really is speeding up.

As the Mayan Calendar states we are in the 9th and LAST DAY! – according to Dr. Calleman  Mayan Scholar, the  Mayan calaendar ends a 16,000,000,000 year cycle count them zero’s on October 28, 2011 NOT Dec 21 2012!!!! Many Mayan Elders,  Tibetan Buddhist Monks and Inkan shamans are meeting to share their spiritual traditions Now in preparation.

 Jupiter moves from Pisces – a sign he co-rules, into Fire-y Aries and beyond into Earthy Taurus. Aries is elementally OK with Jupiters’s Saggy rulership.

ARIES is – “ME FIRST” – new life force, energy, Big, bold, beautiful, passionate, unsubtle, spontaneous, impulsive, impatient, independent, ruled by MARS, WARLIKE!!!, Amazonian, kick- ass start me up!!!

URANUS enters ARIES March 12, 2011 Let the Revolutions begin

Uranous is god of oceans traditionally, expect turbulence, hurricanes, violent weather. As the planet of weird – Uranus orbits at a 90 degree angle- bursts into Aries, creating a brand new cycle! It takes Uranus 84 years to make one complete circle. Freedom, independence, individualism, quirky, funky, groupy-like, humanitarian, big-picture thinking, freedom, higher consciousness, technology, inventions, non-egotistical leadership.

 Last time Uranus travelled through Aries was from 1927-1935. This was the Great Depression, Mein Kampf, Hitler, Stalin, Mao created the Communist party-poor old Mao must be turning over in his grave non-stop! This era also saw the first talking picture The Jazz Singer starring Al Jolson were just a few of the Uranian Aries sign posts.

April 4- 5 NEPTUNE enters PISCES!!!!!!! Brand new 165 year  cycle begins!

This is the beginning of total telepathy, compassion, oneness, acting as a unified species. I can see the barriers of individual consciousness breaking down like dominoes toppling one after the other. It will be awesome,and totally frightening to some who only are aware of their egos and can’t loosen its grip. 

Neptune was discovered on Sept 23, 1846, Neptune takes 165 years to make one complete revolution around the Sun to celebrate 1 birthday. It breaks down into four approximately 41 year quarters. 1887, 1928-1929, 1969 and now 2010-1011.  Do these dates stand out?  In 1887- severe winter, anarchist riots in Chicago. 1928-29  is the Great Depression, Stock Market crash. 1969 is of course the Hippie, Woodstock, Peace and Love,free love sex, revolution. 

In 2010 Neptune returned to its’ discovery position 26 degrees of Aquarius which is where it is right now!  In 1847 Neptune entered Pisces which is where it is “at home” in the sign it rules over. 

Celebrate NEPTUNE’S BIRTHDAY!  before it leaves Aquarius

It’s Neptune’s Birthday, has been for most of 2010. If you haven’t celebrated Neptune’s 1st birthday yet  better hurry up. There will be tons of drugging and drinking to be expected. Never attempt to drive yourself or anyone else home when inviting and celebrating Neptune as a guest. Expect to have/see stars in your eyes, fall instantly in love with your soul mate who may prove to be your soul/wrong who you have past life karmic issues to work out anyway so it really doesn’t matter.  Must have: fog machines, dry ice. An onsite photo booth.

A swimming pool, wading pool or veery large glasses.  Make it a spa type party.

Colour scheme blue and green. Ashram theme, decorate with pictures of gurus on walls.

Dress Code: Flowy, fabrics and dress robes, Biblical, new age, or Hollywood glam! Any costume or roll you choose, change wardrobe many times during the night, switch costumes with others.

Food: Sushi, seaweed, electric cool aid, ”Neptuni’s,”

Make films, show films, take an infinite amount of photos.

Gather in circles, do a spiral dance, the hora, sing peace songs, chant, wicca theme,

meditate together, ayahuasca ceremony, magic mushrooms, etc.

Eat no wheat, natural sugar substitute, non child labour produced, foods, eco-friendly factory prodcued yoghurt, natural cocoa nibs,  cakes and cookies.

Mood: dreamy, foggy, boundaryless, peacfull, all loving, forgiving, expect times of much crying and releasing, blissed out, free love, addictive, creative, boundless.

Yes this is just an inkling of the tribal new age mindset that’s comin down the pipes folks big time. All those hippies who were born and seeded in mid-late 60′s are gonna have to wake up themselves a nd re-evaluate what success in the world means. The revolution begins soon. “You ain’t seen nothin’ yet.”

This all occured to me spontaneously. All free form. I’m gonna have me a Neptune birthday party for sure. Tell your buds. Spread the word. I’ll keep ya posted.

Reflecting on these past two weeks:  Energies felt very fast up and busy up till Halloween. Since then the energies have been feeling very odd to me the last 2 weeks. As if it’s too busy yet moving through molasses at the same time. I felt a big high-energy shift last Friday on the 12^th which then sink into feeling incredibly exhausted. My confreres agreed to the same feelings. I said well the planets Jupiter and Venus are almost at a total slowdown for the past few days, we’re feeling that pressure.

Nov. 18 Venus, Goddess of sex, romance, love and Money and Jupiter, doing it big and taking risks both turn direct motion today! Jupiter, aka Yahweh, Zeus, the big windbag and my fave planet, being both Sagittarius and Pisces’ ruler, the planet of optimism humour, largess, truth, justices, travelling, philosophy and religion has been Retrograde since July 23 at 3 degrees 24 minutes of Aries. Now that was one long big winded Jupiterian opening sentence.  If you’re a Sagittarian {and a Piscean} we can call ourselves Jupiterish.

Funny you don’t look Jupiterish.

So think back to those 40 degree Celsius days in late July, where you were at back then has been being reviewed these past almost 4 months.

Planets are always at their most powerful when stationary- at a standstill and reversing gears, turning direct in motion.

Jupe, as he is known to his buddies, turns direct Nov 18 @ precisely 11:41 AM EDT at 23 degrees of Pisces + 30 mins.  Jupiter was last at that degree on April 30 in direct motion.  It’s just like a Time Warp.  Sing it Let’s do the Time warp again! It’s just a jump to the left.

Like the song from The Rocky Horror Picture Show- How fitting that Glee re-did the song recently for Halloween.

Jupiter won’t get back to 3 degrees of Aries + till Feb 9 2011. So we’ve another 3 months to get back to where we once… belonged?

The Sexy Parts

And what about the sexy love money Stuff? Venus is also moving from Stationary to Direct four and a half hours after Jupiter @ 4:10 pm EDT. Venus has only been retrograde since October 8, when she changed direction at 13 degrees of Scorpio 14 mins. Venus backed into her strength in her home sign of Libra since Nov 7^th.

A Retro Venus in Scorpio has created many steamy dramatic, secretive, kinky, S & M, soulful, gut wrenching, transformations, endings, deep shadow stuff coming into the light, power struggles, deep wounds.

Her bit of a breather in Libra is like sitting on the sides of the ring while in round 5 of the Soul Boxing Match of the world, catching our breaths as we get ready to go back into the fray. Venus turns Direct at 27 degrees of Libra and 39 minutes.

VENUS RE-ENTERS EROTIC SCORPIO on Nov 29! My birthday!

 November 29 @ 7:33 pm EDT Venus puts on her Victoria’s Secret lingerie once again. This 2^nd time around she’ll be more sexy and sultry then ever. Venus is considered to be in detriment in Scorpio. Sao she may be sulking a lot not being Happy in Hades dark realm of death and rebirth.  Venus is now ending her once every 18 months or so tour of the Underworld since Nov 4 when she arose as the beautiful Morning Star.

Mars the ruler of Scorpio has moved on, advancing into Sagittarius since October 28. Mars in Sagittarius puts the action {and defenses} into foreigners, travelling, truth, all those Jupiter-ish issues mentioned previously.

We’ll be erotically charged up right through to the New Year! I predict sales of ultra- sexy lingerie, sex-toys, hottie-items as you desire, to go through the roof this Xmas!

 PROSPERITY RITUAL MAGIK Friday Nov 19-20^th

Make good use of the Prosperity Planets change in direction

Change in the fortune planets direction changes your fortunes for the better!

This is an excellent time to change your luck, wealth, health, love life

Do ceremonies to align with Venus and Jupiter

For Venus, Friday Vendredi is Venus’s Day.

Jupiter’s Day s is Thursday, aka Thor’s Day after the Norse God equivalent of Jupiter the Thunder thrower Zeus.

I propose a combo Feng Shui Planetary alignment ceremony

 The Moon is Waxing which is best for doing magical ceremonies as energies are increasing to fullness and completion of the monthly cycle. Magik is done in harmony with the lunar signs, astrology aspects and planetary hours of the day and night. You can look up the planetary hours on the net for your specific location.

Friday Nov 19^th when Moon enters Taurus 5:04 am EDT is the best time.

So that the Moon will be under Venus’s ruler ship. This doubly strengthens Venus’s power over the Moon’s ruling of the feelings and unconscious!

The Moon Trines Pluto at 12:33 pm EDT a very big powerful beneficial aspect,  and stays with this aspect until Nov 20^th @ 6:47 am so one has all afternoon and all night to do the ritual.

JUPITER attributes in magik

We want to gather as many symbols, attributes, similarities to both Planets energies, mainly focussing on Venus here. Jupiter’s colour are purple and his metal is tin; amethyst, topaz, emeralds his jewels. Oregano, nutmeg some oh his spices; olive, ivy, ash his trees; lungwort, balsam, borage his herbs and pomegranates are his fruits.

 In Feng Shui tradition one would get 5 red envelopes, as 5 is Venus’s number and fill them with 5 silver coins, as Silver is Venus’s metal. I would bless and consecrate and empower the envelopes and coins during the ceremony. Have a green candle or candles for attracting money.

 A money oil recipe:

4 pts Frankinsence, 1 pt Heliotrope,½ pt Bay , 1 pt Orange,

½ pt Cinnamon or Cassia,  2 pts Sandalwood {optional}

Use this oil to anoint green candles in any ritual to bring wealth into your home.

Wear green or Blue for Love abundance.

Use a lovely living round leaved green plant.  Some copper coins, silver objects, can be jewellery, gold, amethyst and a $20 bill up to a $100 bill. The largest amount you can get. . Bring into your circle anything, which represents the abundance you want to call in. Not just money, but expansion, travels which Jupiter rules. If for love bring in pictures or things that symbolize the love you wish to receive. But remember to affirm that you already have it!

Get centred. Smudge before doing any ritual to consecrate sacred space. Incense of pure quality will do. Rose, Frankincense are good for Venus.  Breath relaxes, ground.  Put on some nice pleasant relaxing meditation music.

After you’ve anointed yourself and your candles with the oils, Light your green candle.  With a crystal wand or a consecrated knife as a wand, or a magical wand if you have one, create and delineate a sacred space around you into which all your ritual objects are located. From the center Call in the 4 directions starting in the East and moving clock-wise.

Put the amethyst crystal on the money to energize it. Everything is intention. The more power you can bring in, the more the spell works. The planets help focus the energies.

Go slowly. Your intention is to give thanks for the incredible abundance of wealth, health, and love in your life. Say this with happy energy, with fullness in you, even if you’re dirt-poor broke; act as if you have just won a lottery. This attracts that which you desire to you. Always affirm that you already have that which you desire because in truth you already do have all that you desire by sacred law.

Imagine the currents of ethers, the beautiful Goddess Venus or see her as Kwan Yin, Green Tara and Jupiter all together raining down

 Healing raindrops,

Love, rose petals, lotuses, lilies, fragrance, perfumes, see beautiful birds,

Angels, light surround you,

Large sums of money raining down onto you as gold coins,

Open your hands palms up to receive all the abundance into your life.

Open your crown chakra to receive the Light

 Open your heart to receive the love.

After the ceremony: Take time afterwards to ground the energy. Thank the spirits and the elements of all the directions for being with you in ceremony.  Allow them to go back to their worlds and directions with thanks and love.

The Chinese coins in the envelopes should be given away to people you appreciate or leave them surreptitiously placed so strangers find them, so that you give without expectations. It is important to give away, which opens your heart with abundance and as you give away, the more room you have to receive.

I believe that this is a very powerful time to do this type of ritual magic. So do Let me know how this worked for you. Keep track of your dreams.
