So this is the origin of Valentine’s Day a pagan wild sexual, fertility festival involving animal sacrifice, coupling with strangers, nakedness, flagellation with goat thongs and wolf gods. February 15 Lupercalia https://www.google.ca/url?sa=i&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwi-1oygqr3gAhUG74MKHfU-BKIQzPwBegQIARAC&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.history.com%2Ftopics%2Fancient-rome%2Flupercalia&psig=AOvVaw1DzqqDwt9JLr6do2D2-_TU&ust=1550306057561008. I had always been told that February 15?is Nirvana day not the band but the day the Buddha became enlightened under the bodhi tree.
How was your Valentine’s Day? I imagine the energy was quite frenetic as we are still in the wake of good old Mars Uranus conjunction.
Gemini moon trines Sun sextiles Uranus and squares Chiron in Pisces yeah there’s some hurting.
Moon enters emotional nurturing cancer its home sign in the A.M.
Moon sextiles Mars in Taurus. This means chicken soup, comfort foods, massages, long hot nurturing baths.
Moon trines Mercury in Pisces
A dreamy conversation, a sweet spiritual intuitive feeling, good energy to dream on.. Ask your guardian angel to message you in your dreams. Energy is in EST and GMT on the 16th.

Feb/ 10 New Moon at 21 degrees Aquarius is the Chinese New Year of the WATER SNAKE
Those born in the year of the snake have qualities of refinement, intuitiveness, gracefulness. They are exciting, dark, calm, stay centered. They are cunning and possessive. In snake years these qualities are strong, very much Scorpio like.
It will be an initiation the House of SLYTHERIN from the Harry Potter Novel, Slytherin values are ambition, cunning, leadership and resourcefulness.
The Snake is an ancient Matriarchal symbol, not phallic. The snake year is a time for shedding the old skin which you are outgrowing, which you know instinctively is too small for you. Snake is a major symbol of transformation,as in the famous OROBOROUS SNAKE biting its tail, symbol of eternity, eternal life, which to me relates to Scorpio.
Minoan Snake Goddess from Crete
The 12 year cycle in the Ancient Chinese system is sidereal and based on the cycle of JUPITER which pass through a sign in about a year.
The SNAKE is equivalent to earth sign TAURUS, snakes are totally in contact with the earth.
Jupiter is in Sidereal Taurus now but due to precession, the planet will enter Tropical Cancer at the end of June,Gemini in Sidereal later in the year.
The Chinese calendar is Lunar and the date of Chinese New year changes every year, but it always starts on a New MOON.
The 12 animals of the Zodiac blend with the 5 elements blend, repeating every 60 years
Snake years- are characterized by dramatic elements
The last Snake year was the METAL SNAKE in 2001 the year of 911 and the famous Kubrick movie,
1989 was an Earth Snake, 1977 was the FIRE SNAKE, 1965 was the Wood snake,
1953 was the last WATER SNAKE year,
1941 was a METAL SNAKE
1929- the stock market crash was the EARTH SNAKE
1917 was a FIRE SNAKE ,1905 was a WOOD SNAKE
I am certainly not a Chinese astrology expert.
Snakes are worshipped world-wide. IN INDIA, Goddess Vinata was the mother of snakes, a water and underworld symbol. The Nagas- Demi-Gods and their beautiful wives, NAGINIS were depicted as half cobra/half deity. The Hindu God Vishnu is often depicted sleeping on the serpent of Eternity.
Vishnu and KALKI with cobra snakes
I am thinking about the snake year in a more symbolic, metaphoric, feeling tone.
The snake symbolizes healing. The Caduceus, symbol of Medicine, has twin- {GEMINI} snakes which is the ancient and modern sign for Doctors.
Hermes with Caduceus
Caduceus is also the name of an amazing Northern Arizona winery owned by Rock Star frontman Maynard James Keenan
Caduceus winery is amazing, we picked some up in Jerome Arizona and Page Springs near Sedona.
SNAKE MEDICINE in Native American tradition is about transmutation. Getting bitten by a poisonous snake is how one gets snake medicine powers. It is the power of creation, sexuality, psychic energy, alchemy, reproduction and ascension.

Libra New Moon Oct 15 12:03 pm GMT 5:03 am PDT 8:03 pm EDT
at 22 degrees + LIBRA this is a New Moon conjunct Fixed Star ARCTURUS at 24 degrees 15 mins. LIBRA.
Retrograde JUPITER is Trining Sun/Moon from 16 degrees GEMINI
SATURN is leaning close to the Sun and Moon at 1 degree SCORPIO
putting a heavy emotional intensity to this New MOON, and SATURN TRINES NEPTUNE and CHIRON allowing new dreams of love, soul mates,healing, compassion and forgiveness in order to manifest balanced relationships.
MERCURY at 14 degrees SCORPIO is Quincunx to Jupiter making it difficult to BALANCE -this is the mandate of the LIBRA New Moon- heavy obsessive shadows feeling/thoughts with the Retro rumba of Jupiter in GEMINI’s Unbearable Lightness of being.
VENUS, ruler of this Libra Moon is sitting squarely at 14 degrees VIRGO, the strongest Middle degree taking notes and looking shyly prim and proper. On her Libra inclined TO DO list
-follow that dietary regime
-clean up that mess in the house to better facilitate guests
-don’t be a slave to your job,
-balance the budget
MARS is TRINE URANUS!
An easy explosion, adding incredible courage, energy, determination,rising up for the TRUTH, freedom, revolution, independence. YEE HA!
Mars @ 5 of SAGITTARIUS
always loves to have a laugh, speaks: hoof in mouth
Happy Transits to you!
and is cheek to cheek with JUNO Goddess of Female Wisdom at 7 degrees SAGITTARIUS showing us that we all need to BALANCE our Masculine and Feminine sides. This is a HUGE TOPIC as 2012- the future is all about the BALANCE of the SEXES.
Women need to own their power in a particularly JUNO way.Men need to integrate their Feminine Anima side.
The Mars Juno dance team is square dancing with the charming fleet-footed NEPTUNE and CHIRON in PISCES. Yah it’ll hurt, you’ll feel vulnerable, self conscious, but there is DIVINE HEALING WISDOM and compassion available if you let go of your EGO.
NOTE* If you are born in 1961 or 1962 you are feeling your CHIRON RETURN, just like President Barak Obama. I send you my sympathies and my wishes for the best healing of your own emotional and spiritual wounds.
URANUS and PLUTO are still Square to each other.
Here is what the planet of the collective Unconscious and the planet of revolution and freedom do when they apply pressure to each other.
OCT 15 is a day of World Protest as people take to the streets for real democracy.
All New Moons are times of new intentions.
Take time today to meditate with the beautiful 4th brightest Star ARCTURUS.
When you wish upon a STAR!
Arcturus was mentioned by EDGAR CAYCE the famous sleeping prophet more than 30 times. He called in “the highest civilization in our galaxy.”
and “the way, the door out of this system.”
These are very interesting aphorisms.
I had a very clear LUCID DREAM almost 20 years ago. In it, my shamanic teacher, Oriah Mountain Dreamer {writer of The Invitation} was in it. She was covered with a blanket of stars that looked like the night sky. Then the scene shifted to the real night sky and a man’s voice narrated the words.”Everything that is happening now is because of the BOOTES Constellation.”
I woke up wondering bout the BOOTES Constellation? and found out that ARCTURUS is a golden-yellow star on the left knee of Bootes.
Arcturus was once the name of the Constellation itself, it means Driver of the Bear ARCTOS, hence the name the Arctic. Bootes the herdsman prods the Big and Little Bears/Dippers. The Egyptians called the star SMAT, one who rules. Sounds like street talk for smart.
Arcturus is a STAR protector of the Great Mother Bear, who is protecting her cubs. Symbolizing Divine Help and HOPE for all Women, Mothers and children, and we are each of us, a child of a mother, and all children of MOTHER EARTH.
BEAR MEDICINE
I had recently spoken to a client of mine, and she is going through a very difficult divorce settlement and her teenage daughter is suffering through it. I had sent her to the Grail Springs Spa for a rest and while there she had picked the Bear from the ANIMAL MEDICINE cards by Jamie Samms.
I told her the Bear is the fiercest female proctor of her young. Her card was totally aligned with what she needed in her life.
This Arcturian NEW MOON, sounds Arthurian doesn’t it?
Like King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, who protected and honoured women. They sought the Holy Grail, the mysterious, mystical cup. Men need to take back chivalry and honor women for being Feminine, for being stronger, natural protectors.
It is all connected, Spirit always uses puns and similes.
We have a prime symbol of HOPE,
a Divine message of PROTECTION for the MOTHERS and the children
the importance to BALANCE the masculine and FEMININE
MEDITATION for ARCTURUS NEW MOON -Copyright Tara Greene
Use an OPAL, a LIBRA stone to meditate with
the Fire in the opal is a great meditative tool
Create a sacred space, a sacred circle around yourself.
Light some incense and put on meditative, relaxing music quietly in the background. Turn off your cel phone, computer etc. so that you may not be disturbed while doing your ceremony.
Put a real opal if you have a bright fire opal in your left hand or imagine one like this. Ask the opal’s permission to work with you first. This is a very important step, minerals are alive, they have a consciousness.
Take some deep breaths, close your eyes and begin to relax. Allow yourself to watch your breath and let go, muscle by muscle from your feet to the top of your head.
Breathe in the OPAL, breathe it right into your 3rd eye…
Visualize the opal at your 3rd eye and then see it become liquid and transparent and flow through your skull ,which is not actually solid
and sit in the middle of your brain, your mind.
It will activate your pineal gland. Keep breathing slowly and deeply,
and allow the OPAL to project its images onto the inside of your skull like a planetarium. Then gradually your skull will disappear, and the entire universe will come into your view. You can feel it, sense it, touch it.
You can hear the music of the spheres,the galaxies, the stars singing. Allow yourself to be totally relaxed and open. Just sit back and let the images fly. You will experience a very powerful non-drug induced, natural high from this meditation. It will open you up like an ayahuasca journey.You may see a purple violet light permeating your vision.
Take as much time as you like in this heightened state of awareness.
You will be feeling pretty trippy. There will be angels and messengers from Higher realms visiting you. Trust what you see. IT is all real. It is realer than what you think is real, or have been told is real.
This is what my guides have been showing me and telling me for the last week or so. I have chanelled some pretty positive messages {and some very bloody scary scenes coming too}.
So come out of your meditation like molasses. Thank the beings who watched over you and who spoke to you. Be wary and careful of accepting gifts in these visions, as this will only inflate your ego.
Take notes of what occurred. Sit with it, don’t talk about it. Close the circle.
I feel how powerful this is right now as I am typing it. I don’t know what I am going to write before I sit down to do this type of article. I am buzzing and visions are everywhere..

May Day is the ancient pagan Beltane fire celebration of the Maypole Dance the phallic dance of fertility. Beltane fires are lit atop hilltops.
Revelers intertwine ribbons and dance around the MayPole. Traditionally masked young men and women would meet as strangers in the night, to mate,on the earth, in the bonfire shadows, to surrender to the natural desires of Spring,budding life and new passion running in their veins. Children conceived at Beltane were considered sacred and special and born around St. Brigid’s day, also a Fiery Goddess.
We are moving with the round of the year, May 1st marks the cross-quarter, half- way point between Spring and Summer Solstice now. The days are lengthening in the Northern hemisphere. Conversely, pagans are celebrating Halloween or Samhain down under, the Witches New year. It is the Day of the Dead in the southern Hemisphere and the fire festival of renewed life in the northern half.
Go with the flow, the natural flow or CHI of earth energy. Celebrate the renewed life force. You don’t have to be pagan to commune with the masculine life force rising.
The waxing Earthy Virgo Moon conjuncts Mars -@ 1:27 am PDT/ 4:27 am EDT to lend a perfect mirror.
There are more Grand Trines between Virgo Moon and Mars, Pluto in Capricorn and Sun in Taurus.
It’s an excellent time to conceive tonight, literally with the cosmic golden Triangles blessings, if not a physical child then any creative means of self-expression. Explore more soulful { PLuto} avenues of work and service {VIRGO} , and simply allow your body sense and feelings [ TAURUS} to walk your silent minded talk. Celebrate being in the BODY! MAke love, dance with passion around the bonfire!
I see May Day as the first day to a 5 day ceremonial uprising and celebration.
With the upcoming 5 5 5 , also Cinco de Mayo, Wesak, and an incredibly powerful once a year extra sexy Scorpio FULL MOON coming up
use MAY DAY as a synchronic potent fiery spirit initiation to ritually totally transform your life, in balancing completing and fullfilling YOU with the precious 5th element in your life.
So start May day DAY 1 – with honouring the FIRE element. It’s prefect! Fire= EAST, RED, passion, MARS, Phallic, beginnings
ALWAYS smudge,your self first to cleanse and purify your self before you do any ceremony or sacred ritual using sacred cedar, sweet grass, sage or incense.
Always cast a sacred circle, delineating sacred space from profane space. You can sprinkle it with blessed water, or simply intend it,
Use candles which match the elements: In the Native American tradition:
Yellow for FIRE, Red for WATER, BLACK for EARTH, White for AIR, Blue or RED for spirit.
Different traditions associate different elements to different directions depending on where they live geographically. May seem confusing but it makes sense. If you live on the west coast Water,the ocean is in the west, etc. Puru uses a different system and animal emblems.
Beginning in the south with the coiled serpent {Kundalini energy} Innocence,the past,
moving to the west the Jaguar, death and rebirth,earth
to the north,air beautiful sweet nectar drinking hummingbird,
and finally to the East, fire, the Sun and the Condor soaring with spirit.
The 5th element is all our relations, all the peoples, teachers, creatures and the Star nations,
Once in you’re sacred space always move clock-wise,
May Day, 1= FIRE, May 2- WATER, May 3 -EARTH, May 4 – AIR, May 5 = SPIRIT/SOUL
Use whatever associations you like to the 4 elements, whatever has personal resonance with you, use it.
to learn more about the elements go to my website: http://taratarotweb.tripod.com/id21.html
I’ll post helpers for each days ceremony.
Practical {Taurus} Go with the energetic flow.

MOON enters SCORPIO APRIL 7 –9 EASTER and PASSOVER
Perfect alignment with DEATH, REBIRTH, TRANSFORMATION, RESURRECTION of these days Entry @ 8:18 am PDT/
moon in scorpio easter soul
Scorpio the 8th sign symbolizes the immortal SOUL. Scorpio the 2nd water sign is concerned with all the Biggies, major life issues like sex, power, control, the shadow, death, rebirth, so it is totally a fitting emotional alignment for EASTER.
Easter or EOSTRE { female ovulation} is an ancient PAGAN fertility festival. The egg and rabbits are fertility itself. These symbols have been added to Christs’ ancient Archetypal tale of death and rebirth. Ancient religions had the Goddess‘ son or consort, mate with her, and then be ritually tortured and sacrificed in order to resurrect the earth’s new crops, the Goddess’s fertility.
During the Passover ritual one eats bitter herbs, to commemorate how bitter life has been for the Jews who were slaves for 300 years. There is ritual dipping of fingers into blessed wine and dropping a drop for each plague that God sent on Pharaoh and the Egyptians. One eats hard-boiled eggs as fertility symbols, eats sweet crushed apples and honey with bitter radish to remember that life is the sweet and the bitter. This is a wise way to remember, by ritually making the memories physical, eating the memories digests them.
Allow yourself to be with the lunar tides, on the birth death resurrection themed super moon. Feel the full Moons’ lingering influence as soulful emotions ooze into the ethers.
Whatever cross you have had to bare, has you nailed to, hung up on…Where have you felt you were the sacrificial victim of YOUR OWN making, first? The someone else involved is only a projection, real but a reflection, like the moon, a mirror of yourself.
By being real, open, coming from DEEP within your soul, this depth allows understanding, compassion and tears, as the golden tickets you need to learn from. You can then, with consciousness and responsibility, acceptance and surrender, easily let go of those old rusty nails that you wept on while nailed down. Love those hard boiled eggs.
Where is SCORPIO in your Astrology chart? The house and planets in that sign,are where you can do the most laundry now.
SCORPIO BIRTH AND DEATH RITUAL TRANSFORMATION
Allow death to work for you, surrender and compost that which no longer serves your new emerging self and bring rebirth into a new life.
Nothing new can fully enter your life unless you dump the old sewage, baggage, habits, etc first. Only you can really do that.
As in Passover, gather symbols of things that remind you, it can be food, photographs, music, whatever triggers those feelings around power, powerlessness, control, letting go, sex, money, abuses, shadows, revenge, hatred, obsession, competition, all Scorpio themes.
Allow the old karmic traps, soul cages and wounds to be understood, acknowledged and surrendered at this time. Allow yourself to pass over, to pass them on, to be over it.
Time and consciousness are expanding very quickly now. By simply creating a big pile of all the old memories, like crunched up old newspapers, loving them understanding then turning them into bubbles, allow them to float away on a soft spring breeze. Like magic, Presto! You are healed, you are lighter, free.
In some ways it can be as simple as that. Scorpio is about control of your feelings, your power. Allow the new to call your name, a name you may not recognize yet.
NOTE: I am currently presenting workshops in soulfully re-naming yourself. To schedule a reading. I will help guide you to your real name, your truth, who you stand for. taragreene@sacredartscentre.com

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.
