Taurus Surrealist Artist Salvador Dali

May 11 Famous Birthdays:

Salvador Dali, my fave surrealist painter and artist with his incredible moustache.

Dali has Jupiter in Aries and an Aries Moon on his MC and Venus sign of Artists in Taurus with Sun, Mercury Retrograde too and Mars all in Taurus. Jupiter just entered ARIES today. Synchronistically his Moon/moods, and emotions was on his MC of world career is at 2 degrees ARIES.

NOtice there will be more expansion of his notoriety and fame in the world. On May 29 MARS and JUPITER join at 3 degrees ARIES in his world fame point.

Dali WAS A SENSUAL EARTHY man with a lucky GRAND EARTH trine in his birth chart. he was very interested in wealth and he sold his work out at the end.

Interesting that Neptune the planet that governs Artists is moving up to connect with his PISCES south Node, i would expect Dali to get a major film or be reimagined somehow. He was a true artist and creative genius.

DALI had SATURN in AQUARIUS the sign of the inventor pioneer, eccentric, close to where it is now and conjunct JUNO the feminine face of genius. Dali was certainly a multi-tasking genius and very unique man, a natural rebel also his devotion to his wife and muse Gala.

SALVADOR DALI ASTROLOGY CHART

I named our cat GALA after his wife who was also his Muse.

DESTINO

Did you know that Salvador Dali and Walt Disney made a cartoon surrealist film together in the 40’s which was never completed in their lifetimes but was finally put together and completed with the help of a 90-year-old animator who worked on the original film?

Sedona, Arizona, Imagined landscapes of Max Ernst

Sedona, Arizona, Tara Greene October 2019 Photo by Iala Jaggs

One of my favourite artists is surrealist Max Ernst. Max Ernst lived in Sedona Arizona in the 1940’s after dreaming of its surreal red rock landscape since he was a boy in Germany. Sedona called me to live there too. It is my spiritual home. I have always loved art. I told my mother when I was nine years old that I was going to be an artist. I loved to draw and write poems, I was taking dance lessons all the time since I was five years old. I sang and did pantomime shows.

I knew that being an artist gave me a license to be free.  I went to a Technical high school to major in Art. It was very rigorous, all afternoon was life drawing, photography, commercial arts, ceramics, interior design, marketing, we had to go to the Museum every weekend and paint from one of the galleries in a realist style. We were taught egg tempera, charcoal and a whole host of techniques. 

I studied art history since grade 10 and loved it and had an amazing art history teacher who I will never forget Mr. Walmsley. He taught world art history in chronological order. So we knew what was going on in Chinese, Indian and other cultures at the same time.

It was in a Grade 11 Art History class when I first saw the photograph of the bare-breasted, wasp-waisted, Cretan Snake holding Goddess and it smacked my consciousness awake. I remembered her. That was the beginning of my first consciousness awakening to the past life memories of being a High Priestess. I’d been dreaming of being a Sacred Tantric Priestess almost every night since I was five years old. I had no idea consciously what those intense dreams were all about I was just a kid in this life. 

Jump to February 1986 my ex-husband and I had been wanting to travel since we first got married. I wanted to go to Bali since 1979 but he thought it would be too weird. A friend mentioned Sedona Arizona to me and the Bell rang literally and said you have to move there.  He said OMG that’s the place my fave artist Max Ernst lived there. I have always been a fan of surrealism. Dali was my fave artist. I knew of Max Ernst but didn’t know he and his artist wife Dorothy Tanning moved there in the ’40s.  We arrived in Sedona for the first time on Spring Equinox in 1987 with our son Elijah who was three at the time. We began searching for Max Ernst’s house. We talked to many older folks who said yes they knew of him or had heard of him. The most we could find was that his house was on Brewer Road which you can see in the photographs of him with his famous Capricorn sculpture.

I also found out that Aleister Crowley’s assistant Israel Regardie had been living in Sedona in 1987 with the rumoured original Lady Frieda Harris paintings of the Thoth Tarot too. The one which I later chose as my first tarot deck to learn from. The plot thickens.

If you don’t know of Max Ernst art he was a famous surrealist artist whose vision was very unique and instantly identifiable. He unknowingly been dreaming of Sedona’s landscapes in war-torn Germany since he was young. After escaping the Nazis and made it to America with the help of Peggy Guggenheim who he briefly married. Max and his wife, artist Dorothy Tanning were driving across the U.S. and they found Sedona off the beaten path. Max recognized its sacred red rock and surrealist landscapes from his dreams and they moved there. If you know Sedona there was the “Y” intersection and one store the Sedona Market at that intersection, a post office, and a couple of restaurants in those days.  Four hundred people lived in Sedona in the 40’s. Max is a fantastic artist who never changed his principles. He invented a number of techniques. 

ASTROLOGY

Ernst was an Aries born April 2, 1891 in Bruhl Germany at 10:30 am.

His Moon is in CAPRICORN right on his Descendant and he built the famous Capricorn sculpture in Sedona probably influenced by that. 

He had a very creative Venus Jupiter in Pisces conjunction in his 9th house of foreigners, women, arts, spirituality, dreaming. He was married four times to women of different nationalities. This is a bountifully creative and protected lucky aspect

Sun in Airs in his 10th house of worldly fame with Mercury too. 

He had an earthy sensual Mars in Taurus and a Neptune Pluto conjunction in Gemini. With Pluto exactly on his North Node. Max was a very old soul who knew what his destiny was to communicate from his soul. He had a dual nature and his mind was very fresh inventive and open. He had the gift of soul communication. With Saturn in Virgo he was a hard-working, simple, perfectionist and quite modest.  Uranus at 0 Scorpio trines Venus gave him the gift of being totally unique as an artist. His ideas were ahead of his times, Max was unconventional to his core. He was a true Bohemian. His work is truly fascinating and inspiring.

I am missing Sedona even though I speak to my friends there every day. I cant wait to go back and stay for awhile and lead ceremonies again.

Radical chaotic planet Uranus turns Direct on Eclipse

January 10  The Radical Chaotic energy planet Uranus turns Direct January 10 on the same day as a Penumbral Cancer Lunar Eclipse provides a cosmic cattle prod to the world’s energy. Uranus turns direct in Taurus January 10 is like a revolutionary, chaotic, cosmic cattle prod to the world. Animal rights, changes in values, real estate, hi-tech inventions, innovations, women and beauty.

Uranus turns direct at 2 degrees 38 minutes of Taurus after being Retrograde since August 12, 2019, where it Retrograded at 6 degrees 36 minutes of Taurus.

You may want to think back on what’s been going on since August 12 in your life about 4 months ago where the revolutionary energy stalled to re-encamp and rethink its plans.

Uranus’s station in Taurus is like rocket fuel to the entire revolutionary, A1, G5, freedom fighting, cryptocurrencies, equal rights, new tech energies of the planet, innovations, women. Did I forget to mention URANUS is the planet of CHAOS?

It will take Uranus until April 26, 2020, for it to bypass its Retrograde turning point on August 2019. Then the new energy moves forwards quickly as Uranus presses on in stubborn, sensuous, values laden, real estate,  beauty, fashion design, money, precious metals, and luxury and the arts market energies of Venus-ruled Taurus.

This energy is already being felt with the recent US targetting of military general in Iran. The world is in a very chaotic place.

The market value of all of this issue can get very chaotic. Mining stocks gold and silver are ruled by Venus. 

Animal rights issues will be more prominent. Plant-based foods, non-dairy products and veganism is growing at a fast clip with Uranus in Taurus. Animals have already been given rights as sentient beings in India. Here’s an article about animals being protected by law.

https://www.cbc.ca/radio/ideas/animals-under-the-law-what-options-are-there-for-animals-to-lawyer-up-1.5067558?fbclid=IwAR1DQuhVlRYdaCPyu_aAjFpY3cCa5zG-DHgkP58ia5aPuIGkHPvwE_etMp4

What areas and values in your life do you need to revolutionize? where do you need to free yourself up? What needs to be upgraded? re-booted? level the playing ground with? 

Check out where those early degrees in Taurus are in your natal chart for clues about where the revolutionary energy will kick your ass.

ERIS the shit disturber is a new player in the cosmos. She keeps stirring the pot trying to bring out the underlying truth.

Venus Retrograde is I her dark or new moon phase conjunction with the sun and will exactly conjunct the son on the 25/26th, I’ll write about that separately. 

Moon enters Aquarius later today to bring us some breathing space.

Conscious Uncoupling, Gwyneth Paltrow, Astrology from Tara Greene

 

BETTER CONSCIOUS Uncoupling than Unconscious Uncoupling I always say.

Thousands criticized Gwyneth for BLURRED LINES by crossing the professional and personal “NO GO ” by announcing her breaking up softly with Chris Martin of Coldplay after 11 years of marriage which crashed her web site.

They are very cute vegetarians together. 

I think C.U. is a great keyword of the GRAND CARDINAL CLIMAX.  Or one of them anyways.

Pluto is the UNCONSCIOUS also soul consciousness,Uranus in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn are uncoupling the system. Jupiter in Cancer is feeling the fallout in families, homes, children.

My motto is HOLLYWOOD is always prescient or creating the future. 

So why not a HOLLYWOOD actress and Musician, two very Piscean professions symbolize the archetypes for the rest of us

of what is going on AS ABOVE so BELOW.

Better to be conscious about everything. I always say.

I haven’t read the psychotherapist who coined this term. Or who is now selling courses on line and Certifying teachers of her BRAND of methodology. I would say it sounds like Jungian based wisdom to me.

So why now? They’ve been trying to keep it together for the past year with two fine children.

GRAND CARDINAL CROSS SINKS THEIR SHIP & more

Gwyneth, the perfect tall, thin, talented New Agey Hollywood pedigree Academy Awarded actress and singer was born September 27 1972 in L.A.

Gwyneth is a LIBRA of course with lots of 7 house planets, she NEEDS to be in relationships.

Her MERCURY is at 11 degrees LIBRA with CERES at 12 degrees LIBRA in the 7th. THEY ARE IN THE CROSS HAIRS of the G.C.C.

Her Ascendant is 7 degrees PISCES and she has Neptune at 3 degrees Sagittarius in the 9th house. She loves foreigners, teaching.

She has the MOON at 11 and SATURN at 2o degrees GEMINI straddling her IC or home, roots, family.In spite of her seeming perfection she is plagued with difficulty in relationships with a GEMINI Moon conjunct Saturn. She may always look young and be charming. But she is maturely immature, a split emotional personality and a non-committer deep down. Saturn conjunct MOON tells reams about karma with men. She was also very close to her father and grandfather.

Wheres her VENUS? in LEO of course, she is the QUEEN BEE in the 6th house yet. Love is work to her.

Her CHIRON is at 15 degrees of ARIES late in her 1st house of self and of course GRAND CARDINAL CROSS is wounding her deeply.

Transitting URANUS on her CHIRON is nearing her URANUS Opposition. This is the foreshadowing of her mid-life crisis. She isn’t quite there yet. Just wait for the younger boy toy to enter.

Neptune is squaring her natal Neptune at 3 degrees so she must do everything with NEW AGE spiritual higher consciousness now which is a good thing.

Neptune SQUARE NEPTUNE

means she may have fallen in love with her own projection and there may be a new man in her life she sees as her TRUE SOULMATE now. Always a very dangerous transit for this type of thing for everyone. Are you going through it?

EVERYONE GETS THIS TRANSIT AT AROUND 42 its another form of your mid-life crisis. You need objective advise.

NEPTUNE will also cross her Ascendant in the next few months, so expect to see Gwyneth totally morph into something  or someone new. She may become the NEW AGE QUEEN of the world.

JUPITER will triumphantly cross her natal VENUS In LEO  in November of this year in her 6th house of work. So she will most likely have a very public new man lover King in her life then. Also throwing herself into a big perhaps historical movie which she will star in royally.

Her SOUTH NODE at 23 degrees of Cancer in the 5th house of love affairs, children, will be crossed by Jupiter in June. Her children are very important to her and she and her soon to be ex- will probably always be in close proximity to co-parent their kids.

Now her husband Chris Martin,lead singer  of Coldplay is a 12 degrees PISCES with his Sun right on his DESCENDANT- house of marriage.

His Sun is squaring her MOON and SATURN. = KARMA

He has his Moon @ 4 degrees Leo also conjunct SATURN @ 11 degrees RETROGRADE in LEO in his 11th house opposite his Mars at 16 degrees AQUARIUS in his 5th house of children love affairs. Chris was also meant to be karmically involved with women in his life. They mirror each other’s fates here. His MC or public career is 6 degrees GEMINI which Gwyneth’s moon and Saturn wraps their arms around.

 

BTW Chris’s s great great grandfather invented daylight savings time. Saturn is FATHER TIME, Retrograde is time moving backwards, get it.

He has PLUTO at 13 degrees LIBRA in his 2nd house of resources. GRAND CARDINAL CROSS  CASUALTY.

he is having PLUTO SQUARE PLUTO as is everyone else in his age group.

PLUS URANUS opposite his PLUTO-Freedom of die. 

SATURN RETROGRADE is opposite his natal JUPITER LILITH Conjunction in Taurus. Chris has a Fascination  with the dark Feminine. She does what she does and bows to no man. Saturn Retrograde has had her in the form of Gwyneth turn and walk away.

PLUS JUPITER in CANCER-in his 1oth house of worldly fame.  A private PISCES guy has a very public break up, Quelle Horrors.

CHIRON the wounded healer at 14 degrees of PISCES  has just crossed his SUn and is squaring his NEPTUNE romantic soul mate  idealism exactly. Could turn out to be very creative for him, as Neptune rules his sensitive imaginative Pisces SUN. Watch for The uncoupling album.

Chris’s NORTH NODE IS @ 25 degrees LIBRA which RETROGRADE MARS has just marched backwards over. Somehow this split up figures as an action for his highest good. Although he is probably not feeling it that way. This is an undone deal.

Their synsastry charts

This is where you put the two peoples chart’s together. We have accurate birth times for both of them. They show major connectivity. 

 

I wish both of them well. It’s always hard when any marriage breaks up. Better to break up consciously when you have kids.

Being famous doesn’t protect you from Planetary Transits – no one is immune. She is actually a very good singer Gwyneth and it would be nice to see her and Chris sing a duet together. Breaking up isn’t  hard to do.

VIVA LA VIDA- Coldplay

LANDSLIDE – Gwyneth Paltrow

 

 

 

Mick Jagger, grief, condolences and compassion.

I was reading through Mick Jagger’s Face Book page for the first time yesterday where he had posted a photo of his beloved L’Wren Scott on March 18, the day after he was told about her suicide. He posted…

“I am still struggling to understand how my lover and best friend could end her life in this tragic way.
We spent many wonderful years together and had made a great life for ourselves.
She had great presence and her talent was much admired…, not least by me.
I have been touched by the tributes that people have paid to her, and also the personal messages of support that I have received.
I will never forget her,

Mick”

I certainly felt for his loss. A suicide is always a terrible shock. The interesting part was reading through some of the twenty eight thousand plus condolences and comments on Mick’s statement by many who shared their own tragic experiences of loss, suffering, grief, compassion and understanding because they too had been touched by the suicides of lovers, friends, family or children.

Out of L’Wren’s tragic suicide some good can come out of this which binds and unifies people’s hearts together through their understanding and compassion born from sharing their experiences of  mutual suffering. We know that no one is intrinsically different than anyone else. No one, not a King or Queen no matter how rich, beautiful and famous is immune from being human and all the good, bad, beauty and uglies, highs and lows of experience of which  life on earth is about. Sir Mick is mourning his loss as are the families of those on Flight MH370 and thousands and millions of other human beings in the world. It feels like a time of great grieving.

The Moon is also in Scorpio since the 19th which tunes us  more easily into feeling our losses, mourning, death and depression.  It’s good to go with that heavy flow.

The bottom line is we all share the same human characteristics and fears. No one is immune to this. To love, to lose, to suffer, to joy, to risk, to win, to experience, to be lonely, to not know, to be in the dark, to feel guilty, regret, betrayed, abandoned.  A famous person’s suicide is the same as any other person’s. No amount of money can bring them back from death. Nothing can replace those we’ve loved and lost. To live is to die.  To give love and to receive it. If Mick could trade his multi-millions for his beloved’s life, I am sure he would do it. Life is precious and beautiful and sometimes tragic.

We can only live fully in the present, appreciating each moment of eternity to the fullest and be gratefull for each breath of life. To love is all we can do. As the old saying goes, To love and to have lost is better than never to have loved at all.

I’d never looked at Mick Jagger’s Astrology chart before so just wondering why he was being struck with tragedy now. I know he is also going to be a Great grandpa as well as have his fifth grandchild soon.

 Sir Mick’s astrology chart born July 26 1943

Mick Jagger is a sextuple LEO with SUN conjunct JUPITER and PLUTO the multi millionaire’s signature plus Mercury his North Node and Chiron at the 29th degree of the Fire sign of leaders, STARS, charismatic, dramatic, famous people, proud, intense, courageous, strong willed. Sun Jupiter Pluto {plus LILITH would make it 7 Fixed Fire} he is the SOURCE, the SUN KING, in his 3rd house of communications, sales people, the showman. 

Mick’s Mercury, NN, Part of Fortune { wasn’t counted that makes 8}  and Chiron are in the very PRIVATE 4th house of family, roots, traditions, home, nurturing, feminine energy. This surprised me. DEEP down Mick is a very private person, very caring and committed to family. LEO is about giving love, it can be childlike.

His MOON at 23 degrees TAURUS is in the 12th house of endings, karma, spirituality, privacy, self-undoing, dreams, addictions and is very sensual, earthy, stubborn, fixed.  His Moon represents his mother, his unconscious feelings, his instincts and thus all women in his life. He is naturally very psychic, a dreamer and tuned into women. Moon in Taurus is focused on money,luxury, enjoying all the beauty and good things that the beautiful earth offers. He is a singer, Taurus rules the throat. Lots of deep emotional songs.

VENUS is at 13 degrees of VIRGO in the 5th house of creativity, self-expression, love affairs, children, leadership, courage, showmanship, charisma, vitality, this is the natural LEO house and we know Mick has all of this. Deep down Mick is a very hard-working perfectionist, who manages money very well, a businessman at heart. Mick loves and works on his body, he is very health conscious. Quite intellectual, he loves knowledge, details, to read, he is analytical. He like his women smart, feminine and earthy.

MARS is at 12 degrees of TAURUS  also in the 12th house of spirituality, karma, endings, compassion, forgiveness. He is extremely sensual, driven to make money, to own blue chip real estate to experience everything on the material plane. He can have a lazy side. Mars is MICK’s macho which is very strong willed, sexy, charismatic, artistic. Mars is in VENUS’s sign so there is a feminine nature to Mick’s sex appeal that has always been there. Mars is Mick’s activities and he is a rough throaty singer and Taurus rules the throat. The 12th house is the house of depression, the blues and that is really the basis of all the Stone’s music.

JUPITER in LEO conjunct the SUN

magnifies Mick’s raw fiery passion and sex appeal. To the manner born. A true star. Guarantees huge success.

SATURN at 21 GEMINI is in the fist house of his self, who he identifies with. 

His Dad symbolized by Saturn, had a very strong influence on him. Saturn in Gemini indicates a karmic dual nature. Gemini is the eternal Peter Pan or peur eternus who never grows up. He sees things in black or white, he is an angel and a devil. Saturn was called the devil and Saturn in Gemini would write Sympathy for the devil as it views other sides of the devil archetype. Saturn here gives him some maturity later in life as well as tragedy. Mick plays many roles having so much LEO influence  and this planetary aspect brings that up even more. He is a debater, a questioner, always wanting to analyze things.

URANUS at 7 degrees of GEMINI in the 12th-

All of the 12th house emphasis means that MICK has done a lot of spiritual work in his past lives. Uranus in the 12th in Gemini describes an inventive, rebellious, freedom seeker, I am intuiting that he was a black American slave who lived in the South during the Civil War. He fought against his masters,  instigated rebellion, fled was caught and killed. That I believe is what his love of the blues is all about.

NEPTUNE at 29 degrees of VIRGO in the 5th house. 

Neptune rules all artists, and creative people and this he has in spades. He is a very, very, practical creative dreamer and worker. Can be a nit picker. Extremely disciplined in his diet and daily regime. He appreciates neatness, cleanliness order. He brings a kind of ethereal-ness into very matter of fact everyday life. It is subtle but there.

Pluto conjunct Jupiter in Leo

The is an intense life. A regal leader and Superstar. Soul strength, soul pride, deep unconscious lusts. This is soul power and great wealth through experiencing lust, obsession, indulgence, death, rebirth, transformation.  Can be vain, selfish in its immaturity, Can be fiercely controlling, ruthless, but also very generous to those he loves. He is the boss. Super rich and dramatic showman. The show must go on..

LILITH conjunct PLUTO in LEO

This is hugely powerful. Mick’s soul dances with Lilith the Dark rejected taboo Feminine. He would live out his soul and unconscious, his Feminine side through embracing LILITH as Queen of the Night, of the dark ,of all things taboo and forbidden, and Lilith would also be all the women in his life. Lilith’s hallmark is to suddenly leave without warning, being whole and complete unto herself.

His North Node is in Leo at 16 degrees in the 4th house of family, home, nurturing, privacy.

Mick for all his world fame and power is meant to be in his heart in his home, with family first, protecting his pride as a male Lion does.

His SOUTH NODE at 16 degrees AQUARIUS in the 10th

South Node symbolizes past lives. In the 10th house of worldly fame means that Mick has already had some worldly acclaim, some power in the world, even before this lifetime. He was always a rebel, a pioneer, a gender equal man, someone who pushed the edge, inventive, a unique individual who marched to his own drummer.

His Part of Fortune at 21 degrees Leo- looks like a circle with an x in it symbolizes the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. In the 4th house home is where the heart is. He has all the riches inside of him already.

TRANSITS on L’wren’s death

SATURN the grim reaper, death, taxes, depression, maturity, endings at 23 degrees Retrograde of Scorpio is exactly opposite Mick’s Moon- his emotions, the woman in his life, in the 12th house of endings, spirituality, compassion. Saturn is also in quincunx- an aspect of incommunications to his Natal Saturn in Gemini in the 1st house. This is very depressing for Mick as is understandable, a devastating loss. It wil not be easy for him to recover from her death. It shakes his own sense of mortality and ageing. Saturn is also squaring Mick’s Chiron. The Moon in the 12th is very psychic she will come to Mick through his dreams.

CHIRON the wounded healer in PISCES is exactly opposite hid Venus and squaring his Ascendant/descendant

Venus in Virgo is the woman in his life. Chiron opposing this indicates a great wounding from his love. His persona and identity is terribly wounded and vulnerable. If he embraces his grief and suffering he will learn a huge spiritual lesson about forgiveness,compassion and knowing that people never die. Perhaps Mick will raise funds and donate money in L’Wren’s name to create a charity, school for mental illness research or support facilities for women having difficulty thriving in various ways.

NEPTUNE in PISCES is squaring Mick’s natal Uranus in GEMINI in the 12th

Shock, chaos, revolutionary change, spirituality, dreams, illusions, delusion, fantasy, guilt, martyrdom.

Jupiter will enter Leo in late July and will conjunct all of his planets this year. He may be drawn home to his 4th house to be with his family to recover and recuperate. He will be feeling more positive and stronger then.

My condolences to you Mick on your loss. To L’Wren’s family in Utah and her friends, colleagues and clients and your children I send blessings of Peace and to L’wren may her journey be ful of light and love..

I leave you with a beautiful poem by Rainer Maria Rilke

We know nothing of this going away, that shares nothing with us.

We have no reason, whether astonishment and love or hate,

to display Death, whom a fantastic mask of tragic lament astonishingly disfigures.

Now the world is still full of roles which we play as long as we make sure, that, like it or not,

death plays, too, although he does not please us.

But when you left, a strip of reality broke upon the stage

through the every opening through which you vanished: Green, true green, true sunshine, true forest.

We continue our play. Picking up gestures now and then, and anxiously reciting that which was difficult to learn, but you are far away,

removed out of our performance existence, sometimes overcomes us, as an awareness, descending upon us of this very reality, so that for a while we play Life rapturously, not thinking of any applause.

High Hopes Inspirational Daily Astrology with Tara Greene

INTENTION IS EVERYTHING!

Last May 2013 I decided that I needed more followers on my blog. I only had a few hundred, so I started to write every day. It has been fun, an obligation, an honor, hard work, an obsession- Saturn in SCORPIO was in my 12th house.

I now have over 5,400 people signed up to get email alerts every time I blog. WOW! THANKS!

I get notifications each time this happens,  since mid January I am being flooded with them again and most of them seem made up to me. Very cleverly I might add. They make me laugh and I can tell sequence, the funny name,the numbers the address. The current spate is from France. Many are real, with gravators and Hotmail account followers.

I can’t thank each one of you one at a time.

And I cant figure out why all these seemingly fake addresses are linking to this blog?  What’s the purpose? I hope you aren’t using this to spam people.  If you can get let me know and get back to me, I’d appreciate that.

VENUS is now faintly visible as the MORNING STAR or MORGANSTERN,

You can make morning wishes now. VENUS will be rising about 2 hours ahead of the Sun.

RENE MAGRITTE , THE RETURN 1940 Brussels Belgium

Jupiter is RETROGRADING back over the U.S. SUN again!

Getting HIGH at home, with a little help from your friends, as more states legalize marijuana is one of the outcomes of this transit.

JUPITER turns DIRECT where it has the most power, right on that magical 13th + degree of CANCER on FEBRUARY 1st which is just around GROUNDHOG Day. Which is also an overlay of IMBOLC a pagan cross quarter ceremonial day on FEB 2

It’s all a metaphor. I am sure most of you are familiar with the 1993 Bill Murray movie, GROUNDHOG DAY which is all about KARMA, repeating the same patterns, situations and experiences over and over. We can all identify with that right? Lets hear from you.

It’s a comedy. Jupiter makes us laugh.

 JUPITER IN CANCER is very fruitful, fertile, brings HIGH HOPES.

In the movie, and each one of us is Directing, starring in and producing our own movies.

WHAT’S YOUR MOVIE TITLE?

Phil, the leading man, who Murray plays, must figure out that he can choose to learn and become a better person. Then, after much work,  his life goes forwards and he finds happiness and love.

So expect some major DEJA VU’s in the U.S. on all levels, economic, political, or perhaps we collectively have learned some lessons and are FINALLY ready to move on and CHANGE the old, old patterns?

Also if you have planets near 13 degrees of all CARDINAL SIGNS you are the most hit. DING DING

NEW YORK CITY AMSTERDAM AND VENICE are all Cancer Sun sign cities.

NEW Hampshire, Virginia, Idaho and Wyoming are all Cancer Ruled states.

Canada of course.

PERSONALLY JUPITER is conjuncting my Uranus again.

THE WIN THE LOTTERY TRANSIT according to another astrologer.

When you are dealing with URANUS energy it is very chaotic. 

BE VERY CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR.

It may feel like a big sucker punch as well. All part of the process my dears.

I am noticing that many people are making very positive breakthroughs who have done their shadow work and are appearing to receive support and others are getting totally mired down and crashing now without any hope.  We are all at different stages of the cycles.

Some clients of mine are really going through  their personal crash and burn but it is all a necessary part of the journey and its the step towards awakening.

I am feeling the cosmic heaviness. I am tired too.  The remedy is:

Do your own shit work. Get a flashlight and stick it up your butt figuratively speaking.

HIGH HOPES Frank Sinatra 1959

HIGH HOPES BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN 2013

GROUNDHOG DAY I GOT YOU BABE 

Planetary U turns, Venus and Mars Horoscope from Tara Greene

I keep thinking about and riffing on Mars in Libra and Venus in Capricorn both doing U Turns soon and into 2014.

Mars in Libra  from December  7- July 25 2014. 

MARS rules ARIES. The RAM symbol. The 1st sign and house. Mars keyword is the “I AM” principle.

The Ram’s head was related to the Age of Aries when the Spring Equinox was aligned with Zero degrees of Aries,when the Jewish Patriarchal religion, whose symbol is the RAM’s horns, began 4,000 years ago. The Age of Christ, Pisces started 2,000 years ago. The Matriarchal, Goddess loving Age of Taurus, when the Bull was worshipped was 6,000 plus years ago. Everything is based on Astrology/Astronomy.

Georgia O’Keefe Ram’s head

Mars is the male sex. Mars is “ACTION.”  Can’t you hear the director shouting it out as the scene begins? We are all actors on the stage.

Mars also rules Scorpio the 8th house/sign. The key word for Scorpio is “I DESIRE.” Red is his colour.

So of course ARIES and SCORPIO will feel the Retrograde more than most. Check out where those 2 signs of love and sex and relationship are in your natal chart.  If you need help schedule a reading with me.- see link below.

Mars is weakened in Libra, which is under Venus’s rulership. But Mars is “exalted” in Capricorn where Venus is now.

LEARN ASTROLOGY TERMS

These are ancient terms to describe a planets DIGNITY or power.Planets can be Dignified,  in detriment, exalted or fall.

A planet is Dignified in the sign it rules, is at home, in its glory, its fullest and easiest expression. It’s in control.

Detriment means when a planet is in the sign opposite the one it rules. Mars in Libra for example.

Exalted means the planet is harmoniously expressing its powers in a sign other than the one it rules.Like being a BBF’s home.

Fallen mean a planet  is opposite to the one it is exalted in. It can’t show its true nature. It’s not comfortable.

Heck, a planet can be accidentally dignified. A great term. 

Venus rules LIBRA. Mars’ opposite Sign. Libra, The SCALES of JUSTICE. Karma,  # 8 or # 11 in the Tarot. Libra is the 7th house and sign.

Definitely some GENDER BENDER issues coming up from this. More gay rights equality in 2014.

Libra’s keyword is “I BALANCE.” but its all about “others.” “US”  coupling, togetherness, romance, relationships. Green is Venus’s colour.

Venus also rules Taurus Scorpio’s opposite Sign. Venus and Mars are always opposite each other, thus they are always locked into relationship through the opposites. Taurus keyword is “I HAVE.”

Libra has two scales.  So it occurred to me that if MARS is “I AM” then Mars in Venus for 7 months in Venus’s sign “I AM” becomes “WE ARE.”

A very spiritual scenario. Going Beyond the ego. the I-ness. Is that why everyone has I-phones, I-mac etc?

We are the world, and I do believe there is a big wake up call coming in 2014.

Venus goes RETROGRADE first  on WINTER SOLSTICE DECEMBER 21 2013 at 29 degrees Capricorn the “critical” degree.

This is where your relationship gets REVIEWED, all relationships, with OTHERS. .

Red light, green light. Remember that game from when you were a kid?Hello Goodbye? PLanetary switcheroo.

The beginning of 2014 is definitely under this kind of stop and go, driving your heart with the  brakes on.

Pay attention to timing. To being in your heart chakra. WE ARE = I AM. New equation.

Then in April all the shit hits the fan on the Lunar Eclipse of April 15.

Venus Goes Direct Feb 1 @ 13 + degrees Capricorn. Check out where the GREEN LOVE LIGHT is in your chart.

Venus will take until March 5/6 to bypass its Retro turn about.

When Mars Turns RETROGRADE on March 1st at 27+degrees LIBRA, Venus will be at 26+degrees of Capricorn.

They are in an exact square so MARK THAT DATE DOWN. – the gears will shift.

Will it be like two ships passing in the night?

What’s been happening in your relationships? New ones beginning?

HELLO HELLO THE BEATLES 

Are You a boy or are you a girl? The Barbarians  

Comet LOVEJOY, don’t you love it?

COMET LOVEJOY On November 7 2013 

While anxiously waiting for COMET ISON to brighten further as it falls toward the Sun, northern skygazers can also find three other bright comets in the east before dawn.  Comet Lovejoy C/2013 R1 is now the morning sky’s brightest. Only discovered in September and not a sungrazing comet, COMET LOVEJOY is nearing the edge of naked-eye visibility and might be spotted from very dark sky sites. Sporting a greenish colored coma and tail in this telescopic view taken on November 7, COMET LOVEJOY  is  about 0.5 AU from our fair planet and 1.2 AU from the Sun. The comet is having a photogenic Messier moment, sweeping past well-known STAR CLUSTER M44, the Beehive in Cancer. Yellowish bright star Delta Cancri is near the bottom of the frame.

COMETS have always been met by fear in the past as harbinger’s or signs of trouble. Giant bright balls of light with tails thousands of miles long appear mysteriously in the night sky for days or weeks then disappear. Our ancesters might have thought they were heavenly messengers sent to watch us down below..

FROM NASA’s page on comets in ancient times below

Comets have inspired dread, fear, and awe in many different cultures and societies around the world and throughout time. They have been branded with such titles as “the Harbinger of Doom” and “the Menace of the Universe.”

They have been regarded both as omens of disaster and messengers of the gods. Why is it that comets are some of the most feared and venerated objects in the night sky? Why did so many cultures cringe at the sight of a comet?

When people living in ancient cultures looked up, comets were the most remarkable objects in the night sky. Comets were unlike any other object in the night sky. Whereas most celestial bodies travel across the skies at regular, predictable intervals, so regular that constellations could be mapped and predicted, comets’ movements have always seemed very erratic and unpredictable. This led people in many cultures to believe that the gods dictated their motions and were sending them as a message.

What were the gods trying to say? Some cultures read the message by the images that they saw upon looking at the comet. For example, to some cultures the tail of the comet gave it the appearance of the head of a woman, with long flowing hair behind her. This sorrowful symbol of mourning was understood to mean the gods that had sent the comet to earth were displeased.

Others thought that the elongated comet looked like a fiery sword blazing across the night sky, a traditional sign of war and death. Such a message from the gods could only mean that their wrath would soon be unleashed onto the people of the land. Such ideas struck fear into those who saw comets dart across the sky. The likeness of the comet, though, was not the only thing that inspired fear.

Ancient cultural legends also played a hand in inspiring a terrible dread of these celestial nomads. The Roman prophecies, the “Sibylline Oracles,” spoke of a “great conflagration from the sky, falling to earth,” while the most ancient known mythology, the Babylonian “Epic of Gilgamesh,” described fire, brimstone, and flood with the arrival of a comet.

Rabbi Moses Ben Nachman, a Jew living in Spain, wrote of God taking two stars from Khima and throwing them at the earth in order to begin the great flood. Yakut legend in ancient Mongolia called comets “the daughter of the devil,” and warned of destruction, storm and frost, whenever she approaches the earth. Stories associating comets with such terrible imagery are at the base of so many cultures on Earth, and fuel a dread that followed comet sightings throughout history.

Comets’ influence on cultures is not limited simply to tales of myth and legend, though. Comets throughout history have been blamed for some of history’s darkest times. In Switzerland, Halley’s Comet was blamed for earthquakes, illnesses, red rain, and even the births of two-headed animals.

The Romans recorded that a fiery comet marked the assassination of Julius Caesar, and another was blamed for the extreme bloodshed during the battle between Pompey and Caesar. In England, Halley’s Comet was blamed for bringing the Black Death. The Incas, in South America, even record a comet having foreshadowed Francisco Pizarro’s arrival just days before he brutally conquered them.

Comets and disaster became so intertwined that Pope Calixtus III even excommunicated Halley’s Comet as an instrument of the devil, and a meteorite, from a comet, became enshrined as one of the most venerated objects in all of Islam. Were it not for a Chinese affinity for meticulous record keeping, a true understanding of comets may never have been reached.

Unlike their Western counterparts, Chinese astronomers kept extensive records on the appearances, paths, and disappearances of hundreds of comets. Extensive comet atlases have been found dating back to the Han Dynasty, which describe comets as “long-tailed pheasant stars” or “broom stars” and associate the different cometary forms with different disasters.

Although the Chinese also regarded comets as “vile stars,” their extensive records allowed later astronomers to determine the true nature of comets.

Although most human beings no longer cringe at the sight of a comet, they still inspire fear everywhere around the globe, from Hollywood to doomsday cults. The United States even set up the Near Earth Asteroid Tracking (NEAT) program specifically to guard us from these “divine” dangers.” However, although they were once regarded as omens of disaster, and messengers of the god(s), today a scientific approach has helped allay such concerns.

It is science and reason that has led the fight against this fear since the days of the ancients. It is science and reason that has emboldened the human spirit enough to venture out and journey to a comet. It is science and reason that will unlock the secrets that they hold.
