Reclaim Friday the 13th and the #13 back to its origins as a Lucky Witch/Pagan Moon worshipping number of lunar cycles in a Year. Reclaim it sisters and brothers.
The fear of #13 is really a misogynist brainwash that originated with the Catholic church.e you superstitious? Were you born under a bad sign? The scientific name for fear of #13 is called triskadekaphobia and the fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskevidekatriaphobia. Why is the #13 feared and supposed to be bad? The origin of the number 13 needs to be understood and shifted from fear and superstition.
I love #13. The truth will set you free. Pet a black cat today and break a few mirrors. Breaking mirrors is a psychological metaphor for breaking free of your unconscious projections.
In the Tarot the #13 is DEATH and as the Western culture fears death and its own immortality it screwed all of this up and mad death bad and to be feared.
13 La Mort Oswald Wirth/ Public domain
Death was always presided over by The GODDESS. She who gives birth also gives Death. Again the Church’s fears of the Divine Feminine had to make everything associated with HER the Great Goddess- bad, negative, fearful, tainted.
Friday is sacred to the Goddess VENUS it is HER day, that right there is telling you something.
Thirteen is the sacred number of the Goddess, the DIVINE FEMININE because it is the number of annual LUNAR cycles. Friday is named in honor of the Nordic Goddess Freya who is also the planet/ Goddess Venus. The Moon is one of the main embodiments of the Goddess. Women’s menstrual cycles are synchronized to the moon and women were seen to be earthly representatives of the Goddess, Her mysteries and immortality. Pagans worshipped the Goddess, the moon and Her natural cycles of death and rebirth which women partook of every month. Woman’s periods are equated with the number 13.
To further suppress Goddess worship, the church made the number 13 into something evil, feared and superstitious as they feared women’s powers as creatresses as magical.
Friday the 13th is really an anti-pagan Goddess day and I don’t like it, as it continues to be portrayed that way in error. This keeps unconsciously programming fear of the feminine, intuition, magic, nature, menstrual blood, and women’s power.
Black cats are “familiars” of witches. All cats absorb negative energies and are highly sensitive to spirits and other energies which we normally can’t sense. If you’ve ever had a cat of any colour you know this.
On this day, Friday the 13th I honour the Goddess, the Divine Feminine and the lunar cycles. I remember and honour myself and all women as holders of the mysteries within our bodies.
Here are 13 important facts superstitious people need to know about
Always choose LOVE over Fear. I choose to love and honour the real positive magic of being alive; naturally intuitive and connected imminently with nature.
Also, I do not believe in superstitious curses and their removal. Yes there are negative energies and entities. I do not ascribe to the belief in curses or blaming your life situation on that. All negative intention is black magic. It is all about energy. Thousands of unscrupulous lying phony psychics claim to remove curses etc. but they are only manipulating naive unsuspecting powerless desperate people. I am totally against this position. Do not project your own powerlessness onto someone else as having some amazing power who claims that they can remove your troubles or provide an instant fix for thousands of dollars. Please don’t pay phony psychics to perform rituals, light candles or pray for you for exorbitant prices. That’s all a hoax. Yes, positive intentions work, only you can change your own life, no one can do that for you. It’s a matter of perspective and psychological shamanic awareness. I help my clients to get empowered. Stop believing the popular myths which religions create just to control you. That’s black magic too. They always blame their own sins onto others.
happy lucky friday the 13th
and NO THERE ARE NO 13 ASTROLOGY SIGNS AND THERE NEVER WAS IN THE WESTERN TRADITIONS. YES THERE ARE 13 LUNAR CYCLES WHICH SOME LUNAR CALENDARS WORK WITH BUT THAT IS NOT THE SAME AS SIGNS. OPHIUCUS THE ADDITIONAL COSTELLATION IN QUESTION WAS NOT CONTAINED ON THE ECLIPTIC AND WAS NOT PART OF THE SYSTEM. BESIDES THERE ARE 24 HOURS IN A DAY SO JUST DO THE MATH. MAYBE EARTH DAYS WERE ONCE 26 HOURS LONG AND HAVING 13 CONSTELLATIONS MADE SENSE THEN?
This Mercury Retro during holiday season is enough to drive anyone a bit wacko. If you havent realized how late in the year it is its OK. Time has been getting faster and faster and most of us are in the same boat. Just wait to do whatever Holiday shopping until after Mercury planet of communications turns direct on Dec 13th @ 5:43 pm PDT. But again things wont be totally smooth in the communications dept. until Mercury gets back to where it was when it turned Retrograde at 20 degrees plus of Sagittarius on Jan 1st 2012.
MAKE YOUR NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS AFTER JAN 1ST! If you plan to get any results.
Dec 10 Lunar Eclipse Gemini Full Moon occurs @ 6:38 am PST/ 9:38 am EDT/ 2:38 pm GMT
An Lunar Eclipse is a new beginning in emotional responses and instinctual habit patterns. The MOON rules the Unconscious,the shadows, the instincts,the people themselves. A Lunar eclipse is a SuPER DUPER FULL MOON. IT’s energy changes the fluctuations in the electro-magnetic fields. consciousness changes, old emotional programs can be erased. Eclipses mark important turning points and opportunities to grow.
Lunar Eclipses brings out SUPER werewolves, and makes you want to howl at the moon.
A Retrograde GEMINI LUNAR ECLIPSE is what this one is as Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and it is in RETROGRADE phase. Hmm. With the twins in shadow land this should be very interesting. It is considered to be a karmic phase as we are going over old ingrained conscious pattern of duality, separation, and oppositions. This is totally fitting after the 11:11:11 barely one month ago.
Squared by Mars in Virgo the sign which the Retrograde Mercury also rules. The message should be. OFF with yer head. That is forget all that head stuff, that Mercury rules and trust your guts totally. Mercury because of its retrograde influence will abide in Sagittarius sign of truth for doubly long a time moving through the arche from Nov 2 to JAn. 8 2012 which gives us an extra long time to expand out horizons, gallop off into the sunset, and grasp the higher truth, all with a sense of humour.
HI YO SILVER { moon}
An interesting light and shadow play. Get out the Indonesian shadow puppets to act this message out.
Gemini eclipse, twin shadows
Shadow means, you know all those disowned and projected out parts of ourselves that we haven’t integrated, blessed accepted or loved yet.
WHO GETS THE FULL IMPACT?
occurring at 18 degrees of Gemini, obviously Gemini’s, Sagittarius, Pisces and Virgo’s will feel the effects most. If your birthday occurs on or around Dec 10, June 10, March 10 or Sept 10. EFFECTS of eclipses lasts 6 ,months to one year. Also affects countries, cities, companies born inand around these dates.
Some countries which will be affected: These are their Independence Days:
June 6 SWEDEN. June 12 the PHILLIPINES get the direct Gemini Eclipse conjunction
FINLAND Dec 6. KAZHAKSTAN Dec 16. SOUTH KOREA on Dec 11 is the closest with the opposition.
NORTH KOREA on Sept 9, MACEDONIA, Sept. 8, NICARAGUA and GUATEMALA on Sept. 15, COSTA RICA sept 15,MEXICO Sept. 16 all get the Square from the Eclipse which applies pressure.
Watch all these countries issues to be front and centre in 2012.
NEPTUNE is I Tunes
Go to Neptune to try to tune in. The Mayan Calendar has ended already. It’s all about creating your own reality and opening up to Higher reality. Life is just a dream, so let Neptune be your guide.
Neptune is at 28 degrees of Aquarius, opposite the Fixed star Regulus which by the way has just entered VIRGO for the first time in 2,160 years!!!
REGULUS Aka ARCHANGEL RAPHAEL, healer of the Heart,
The “FIXED STAR” known as the Heart of the LIon, has moved out of LEO, and into Zero degrees of Virgo. directly opposite Neptune and Chiron the wounded Healer. More than the Mayan calendar in some ways a star ingressing into a new sign and element is a very big new show. A factual, real, verifiable, astronomically correct and approved one. OK OK this is Tropical astrology. It’s what most western astrologer use and it works.
URANUS the revolutionary planet who is behind the Arab spring is also still at that ZERO degree point of ARIES and will be Direct on Dec 9th just in time for the eclipse. Direct at Uranus, sounds a bit….
Jupiter is at ZERO degrees of TAURUS also Retrograde. Turning DIRECT on Christmas Eve, which is December 25 for the non Catholics and all you atheists. Jupiter rules the Sign of Sagittarius and Pisces traditionally.
Chiron just moved from ZERO degrees of PISCES on Dec 7th.
Saturn is opposite Jupiter during the eclipse, Saturn is at 26 degrees of Libra.
Mercury is at 4 degrees of Sagittarius having just crossed the Fixed Star Antares. Mercury the ruler of the eclipse is also squaring Uranus. Mercury is the earthy or real messenger, URANUS is considered to be the higher calling of Mercury, the Higher messenger, the one who takes you higher, the one who relates to quantum physics, future ideas, breakthroughs in consciousness.
So expect much more revolution,division, dissolving of boundaries both real and imagined.
ECLIPSES run in major cycles.
The last lunar eclipse closes to this degree was at 18 degrees 12 minutes of Sagittarius on December 9, 1992,the exact same degree as this one.
So where were you then? what was inspiring you then? what were your dreams and goals that you aspired to?
Dream bigger dreams with the Sun in Sagittarius, Tell the truth. Aim higher. Know you are connected to a much bigger Galactic Picture. Gemini is actually the principle of RELATIONSHIPS. seeming duality. The universe can’t know itself, experience itself if it can’t mirror back to itself. We are the very mirror of Universal Intelligence and Love. The Gemini eclipse point s the way for us to look deep into the mirror of Self in everything, every particle even in most of the dark matter in the Universe to find G*D our very Selves there and here. The twins, the polarity.
P.S. my husband, Artist Napoleon Brousseau pointed out today that we live in a bi-polar world, we have a North pole and a south pole. I know bi-polar is the “flavour of the month.” don’t worry about it. Don’t allow yourself to be labeled.
All is one. There is no other. no shadow.
Gemini Lunar Eclipse. says meditate on NON-DUALITY, on Self and other,

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,
EVERYTHING IS WAITING FOR YOU
(After Derek Mahon)
Your great mistake is to act the drama
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.
Put down the weight of your aloneness and ease into
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.
~ David Whyte ~

In Chinese, the name is TU meaning Peace. It is akin to the Sidereal Sign of Pisces, Jupiter is now in Aries in Western Tropical Zodiac. The 13 sign thing alludes to this.
JUPITER is the planet passing through each of the constellations, which symbolizes each animal as Jupiter takes 12 years to go all the way round the cycle.

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 2nd 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 9th wave of evolution ends 10/28/1 1
Awesome consciousness awakenings are beginning everywhere! Time to wake up!!!!
INSPITE of a recent storm of Twitter and other News media and I think the word Ophiuchus should become a new cuss word by the way.
YOU DON’T HAVE TO CHANGE YOUR SIGN , DE-BUNK ASTROLOGY or see your shrink
13 constellations! Its not news to Astrologers at all either Western or Eastern.
But to Astronomers and the Media who want to ridicule ASTROLOGY for not being scientifically based and want to debunk it, the recent news by a Minnesota Astronomer and the hyperbole of YOU’RE NOT THE SIGN YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE, & NEW ZODIAC WITH 13 SIGNS, ETC.
The long known fact of the earth’s wobble on her axis and the Precession of the Equinoxes has created a time-drift between the symbolic historical points in space and the actual location of constellations in the skies. Let me explain.
Western astrology is time based on the SEASONS. At Spring Equinox when the sun is overhead at the Equator it is marked as the Zero degrees point of Aries as the starting point of the wheel of the year. Summer Solstice, usually June 21 is when the Sun touches the Tropic of Cancer in the Northern Hemisphere and where the Sign of Cancer begins. That’s the first day of winter in the Southern hemisphere.
When the Sun is on equator again in the fall in the North that marks the Sun at zero degrees of Libra in the Tropical Zodiac.
Winter solstice comes when the Sun touches zero degrees of Capricorn on the Earth’s plane and Dec. 21 usually marks the first day of winter in the North and the first day of summer in the Southern Hemisphere.
This system has been in use for thousands of years and it works.
Interestingly the most important Tibetan Mandala for World Peace the KALACHAKRA, Kala means time, Chakra means wheel, is actually based upon this seasonal system for sun, moon and earth. So it has a very highly spiritual relevance as well. Unbeknownst to most people.
The other most widely used astrology system is the Eastern Indian VEDIC system, very ancient 12,000 or more years old. It is based on the Constellations, as they are overhead in real time. Today most Indians would not marry without consulting an Astrologer whose profession takes many years to master and who’s profession is held in very high esteem and value. . Divided into Lunar Mansions, and very complex in-depth delineation periods. Which is what all this fuss about a “newly discovered” Astrology sign is purportedly about. It isn’t new at all.
CHINESE ASTROLOGY
Also very ancient is determined by the position of the Sun, Moon, major planets and comets and Fixed Stars at the time of birth. The 12 animals and the 12-year cycle is related to Jupiter’s orbit around the earth and that’s why the Chinese use 12 segments of the Zodiac wheel of the Year. Chinese calendar is solar and lunar based.
PRECESSION OF THE EQUINOXES
Due to the Precession of the Equinoxes, the FIXED STARS do actually move, quite slowly in human terms, I degree every 72 years. So since the time of the Ancient Greeks from which western astrology comes down to us. At the sprain Equinox zero degrees of Aries was actually aligned with the Constellation of Aries the Ram. The constellations appear to move backwards, from the beginning of the Age of Pisces when Jesus Christ was born, note Pisces image, the 2 fishes and the fishers of men symbolism. Now when we celebrate Spring Equinox around March 21 the constellations have moved backwards roughly 23 degrees, so 7 degrees of Pisces is where the Sun is oriented to when we celebrate Spring. But based on the season we say it is zero degrees of Aries.
Each Astrological age is called A GREAT YEAR.
Most of the Bible is all astrology-based symbolism as is the Mayan Calendar from which the current predictions about Dec 21 2012 arise.
OPHIUCUS WAS never lost or found!
Eastern Indian astrologers have always known of it and Astronomers, and astrologers who work with Fixed stars and use both systems, the Tropical and Sidereal systems. Confused yet?
The 12 constellation Aries, Taurus etc are located on a narrow band around the earth called the ECLIPTIC, the imaginary equator extended out into space from the earth, it is narrow band 8 degrees and the 12 most familiar constellations are aligned within this belt. The belt is divided into 12 parts thirty degrees, each which makes a complete circle of 360 degrees.
The constellations though are not neatly in that same size; some are much larger than others, but still measures as 30 degrees.
Western time based astrology is a poetic, symbolic, mythical, magical psychological system, and it works especially as it mirrors modern Western lifestyles, thinking, philosophy, and psychology.
THE INDIAN VEDIC system also uses a neat 30-degree measurement system for each sign. Vent Hough each constellation has vastly different sizes.
THEY ALL WORK! It is not a belief system. Different strokes for different folks!
Astrologers have been important since pre-history, all alignments of major monument on the Earth, the Pyramids in Egypt, in Mexico, are all aligned to the Constellations that were prominently rising at the time those structures were built.
Astrologers have advised Kings, generals, High potentates, acted as architects in all cultures throughout the world since before recorded history and in the West most well known up to Queen Elizabeth 1st times. Astrology has always guided Royalty throughout all ages and Cultures worldwide.
The Sun only passes through a narrow band of OPHIUCUS and the Ancient Greek choose not to include it in the celestial equator. OPHIUCUS is the only constellation that we know of that was based on a real living human though. Ophiucus known as the SERPENT BEARER it is a large constellation. It was one of the first 48 constellations listed by the 2nd Century astronomer Ptolemy. It remains one of the modern 88 constellations. Some of the closest stars lie in Ophiucus. The Supernova of 1604 observed on Oct 9 was near the major star Ophiucus observed by Johannes Kepler. Ophiucus The Serpent Holder is a three-part constellation, space-walking on the plane of the ecliptic, known to astrologers as “the belt of the zodiac.” He consists of the body of a man and a snake in two parts: Serpents Caudal (the tail) and Serpents Caput (the head}.
Ophiucus shows a man wrestling a serpent. It is closely connected to the Greek healer Asclepeius. Some say it is named after a 27 century BCE name named Imhotep {called Enki to the Ancient Babylonians, also closely connected to the Biblical man Joseph, son of Jacob. Both were said to be very knowledgeable in medicine.
The symbol of the serpent entwined around a staff is still used today to represent the medical profession.
All snakes symbolize the GODDESS, Chthonic energy, primordial grounded wisdom, immortality, change, and rebirth.
Constellation 13 Ophiuchus
The modern Archetype of Ophiucus / Asclepeius is a healer/shaman who journeys, usually in visions to the Upper and lower worlds, and who uses Kundalini, also known as snake/reptile Medicine to heal with. Steve Irwin the Australian crocodile hunter who died suddenly in 2006 was the modern symbolic embodyment of Ophiuchus, presaging this sudden interest in the Ancient Constellation into the collective consciousness.
Ophiucus/ Asclepeius
In Ancient Greece if one was ill and in order to be healed one went to a temple devoted to Asclepeius. There the patient was given herbs, perhaps snake venom and other forms of intoxicants, perhaps psychoactive plants and would be watched by various healers. The patient was left to rest, waiting to receive the healing dream. The belief was that only the Gods, {the Psyche, the Unconscious itself} would contain the secrets and the cure itself.
I have to say here that my husband Napoleon was stricken with brain malaria in a remote area of Indonesia in the early 90’s. . He did manage to have some malaria medicine as well as natural homeopathic remedies, and luckily a doctor who managed to get fresh fruits and vegetables available to him for the weeks that he was critically ill. While he lay in very high fever, hallucinating, shaking, delirious, he said he then had a very powerful LUCID DREAM of King Solomon’s temple and advise given which immediately broke his fever. He recovered within a day of receiving the healing dream and hasn’t had any problems since then!
So don’t worry about the current line-up on NEW SIGNS! WESTERN TROPICAL ASTROLOGY WITH 12 SIGNS WILL STAY THE SAME, still the same product still great,still works!
Maybe a bunch of folks thinking it is a new way to generate new products will quickly publish brand new signs of 13 and figure out how to synthesize and entire new system. It makes sense, sort of.
but the Vedic astrologers will just laugh.
Want to change your image then go ahead! It can be very confusing to identify yourself as a diffrent sign, but this is a sign that people are ready to change! We dont see things until we are ready to.
What I think is the most significant in all this is that it bridges the Eastern and Western Systems and claims a New archetypes attention to modern consciousness even if it’s just a news item for a few days! We’ll see how th elinger effects pan out.
We are in a 2011= 4 = the number 13 year! Hoe synchronistic that ZODIAC SIGN # 13 POPS UP!
In the Tarot TRUMPS # 13 is the symbol of DEATH and REBIRTH!
If people really want to honour OPHIUCHUS it is a very holistic healing sign. Ophiuchus is known for vivid premonitions, dream interpretations, natural healing, immortality, good luck, seeking higher education and wisdom, architects, aspiring, lofty ideals, poetic, inventive, fortunate in hard times, wisdom, genius, giving, generous. All the factors our modern culture needs to integrate.
Maybe Obama’s health care plan should be replaced with the building and aligning to the stars, the resurrection of the ancient healing temples dedicated to Asclepius and the integration of the OPHIUCHUS Health Care Plan.
