information snafu’s Mars retrograde until January 12

Hi everyone sorry I haven’t been writing as much. The Mars retrograde is really doing a number on me as it’s opposite my natal Mercury in Sagittarius so I am feeling it’s into snafu energies more than most people.

If you also have planets from 7-26 GEMINI, SAGITTARIUS, VIRGO and PISCES you will be hit harder so try to prep as much as possible.

An email from a year ago popped up that I had missed. Someone sent me an email for an event without a date. Then I missed their response. Darn it. It must be making you very frustrated and angry.

You have to make sure you triply check all info abs it will continue as Mars soldiers on for Black Friday and on during Holiday season and yea for the new year too.

Venus Retrograde with Pluto, Toxic love release

Planet Venus is travelling through Capricorn for 4+ months from November 5. 2021 until March 6, 2022 bringing women, values, finance and hard-working long-term concrete plans and responsibilities, restrictions and hard love knocks and Saturn rules and tests to the fore.

Venus is BEAUTY and PLUTO is a form of the BEAST. In The myth Belle needs to love the Beast for his kindness respect love and not his outward ugly beastliness. This is a great soul task before us.

Venus turns Retrograde on December 19 at 26+ degrees CAPRICORN conjunct to PLUTO at 25 degrees 32′ until January 29 at 11 degrees 05′ Capricorn. It will take until March 2/3rd until Venus bypasses her Retrograde station degree.

Venus makes a star- point on January 8th at 19 Capricorn the same degree as January 8, 2018. What was going on four years ago? Think back to that now for a re-occurance of themes.That date is David Bowie’s birthday and Elvis Presley’s too

In the Greek Myths Pluto is Hades who is Venus/Persephone’s abductor or sexual initiator, later her part time husband. Venus/Pluto also reiterates one of the oldest known myths of INANNA going into the Underworld/Hades.

VENUS is also LILITH the much-maligned first woman in the Old testament. Women need to embrace the death-bringing aspect of power in their relationships. I don’t mean murder but knowing when to say no when to stop feeding into giving one’s power away when to stop feeding the narcissistic, toxic monsters in the culture and corporate world and governments who are feasting on your emotions sexual and loving energy and body.

This is a very intense SCORPIONIC stationary point. Venus PLUTO conjunct is like a dark passionate murder mystery crime, a corporate financial steal, a breakdown of corporate control and values, control of women’s bodies- Capricorn by the Patriarchy- Roe versus Wade is on the chopping block. This is intense women need to reclaim their power their bodies their financial control from outside authorities.

I just realized the similarity between Polutting and P{o}luto. Venus Retrograde in Capricorn with Pluto is about communing with the ancestors, with their bones and wisdom.

Control of life and death by Plutocrats and government is what Venus Retro with Pluto in Capricorn is all about. The Handmaiden’s Tale comes to mind.

Beauty and the Beast if you see death that way is a literal translation.

Venus and Pluto conjunct as Venus Turns retrograde in Capricorn which is old age. Poem by Kahlil Gibran https://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-beauty-of-death-xiv/

PLUTO was the ancient God of Wealth as well as Death. The Billionaires and their shady secret dealings will be outted. Governments are attempting to extract more tax from the wealthy. NOTE ELON MUSK in the news regarding this he will pay $11 Billion in Taxes this year

We need to review our feelings about Death, The culture is terrified of it and we need to be letting go of the ego identities based on power and material greed, and material wealth. We all must die someday but the fear of death is merely an imbalanced and unspiritual view of life. PLUTO cuts off and is the holder of great soul secrets about the nature of death and the afterlife, Now would be a great time to explore these mysteries. Death is not the end of life but merely the continuum into another state of consciousness.

Pluto is the great destroyer and transformer of all things. Pluto’s Conjunction with Venus as she turns stationary to Retrograde carries a heavy mark, Pluto is sure to test and destroy many long-lasting committed relationships -that Capricorn traditional thing soul purpose.

Expect Great emotional upheavals and deep dark shadow plays which will make or break all relationships. Powerful transformations and empowerment or enslavement of women, and the dark sexual underside- the Ghislaine Maxwell trial is the perfect example of Venus/Pluto in Capricorn energy on the world’s stage. Who will win? Maxwell and the corporate Plutocrats she and I believe still living Jeffrey Epstein was associated with like Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, Bill Gates, you’ve seen that list? or the underdog abused women?

Our values, finances, careers, wealth, death, long term plans and goals, shadows, our own unintegrated emotionally unlived feelings and traumas acts of ruthlessness, control, secrets, inheritances and the Plutocracy/ the banks, the .0001% are either going to totally take control over everyone or be destroyed as Pluto’s forces of invisibility and death do on the personal level.

Venus Retrograde here is about dealing with body images and the sexualization of women’s bodies. There could be popular grassroots work done to control the sexualization and fetishization of women’s bodies. Women need to take back their power.

on the mundane level for the 42 days

DO NOT CUT YOUR HAIR, GET SURGERY, PLASTIC SURGERY, OR TATOOS. Removing a Tatoo would be appropriate.

WEAR BLACK FOR 42 DAYS or earthy brown or beige colors.

Re-doing your beauty regimen, restyling, renovating your home or home office are all good while Venus is Retrograde although you may change your mind by March so nothing too drastic or permanent.

Venus is the EMPRESS #3 in the TAROT and PLUTO is SCORPIO #13 the Death Card

After the last of three conjunctions on March 3. Venus and her lover Mars both enter Aquarius and unite at 0 degrees the same degree as the famous JUPITER SATURN conjunction of December 21, 2020.

For those with Planets, or placements at 0 degrees Aquarius + or minus 5 degrees {25 Capricorn- 5+ Aquarius} the hard testing and letting go of old values, love and money will be worth it if you stay inventive, pioneering, and take a detached higher consciousness approach.

Venus is named after the Greek Goddess of women, love, the arts, relationships, sex, luxury and harmony. Venus was traditionally the Goddess of LOVE and WAR, JUSTICE as ruler of LIBRA and the ARTS ruler of TAURUS. She had been associated with peace, love, counselling, and the Inner Feminine Divine Feminine energies.

VENUS Retrograde with PLUTO is for women to remember the POWER OF THE GODDESS, THE DIVINE MOTHER, call her Mary, Mary Magdalene, Isis, Kali she has thousands of names worldwide. Remembers when the GODDESS was the one source the birth giver, the natural one to worship along with Our Mother The Earth. Have you ever seen a young baby nursing at its mothers’ breast gaze into its mom’s face? That is a human witnessing the Goddess. Every human who has ever lived has experienced the Goddess! She is known as VENUS. Issues about earth resources and her beauty and caring for her above big business will be strengthened. Love versus POWER is what this is all about.

Venus-Pluto brings up love and worshipping fascists, dictators, strong people who have power. It brings up heavy obsessions about love, controlling others, needing to be right and in control.

Venus Retrograde may make us regret past relationships, the once that got away, but we need to empower ourselves to what the soul purpose was for that relationship. Yes you will hear from old lovers, ex’s and women friends and business colleagues again.

Venus Retro with Pluto requires tearing down the old, renovating and recycling relationships and knowing what resources of love and power are for you.

SEXUAL ENERGY

This is intensely sexual energy, don’t be surprised to have strong hate/love feelings come up. Repressed desires demand to be expressed. Anger or rage and frustration may come out as dominance. You may be tempted to manipulate others with sex or try to manifest stuff with masturbation but that is misuse of sacred sex.

WOMEN need to mindfull that these energies brings out raw lust rapist tendencies and possession of women’s bodies. There may be massive shootings or killings of women by CHADS

It’s a great time for deep intense body work and therapeutic soul-making in the valley of death and shadows. It would be a good time to write and explore all these taboo feelings and subjects.

This transit will help us uproot at the deepest muddiest levels what went wrong and right in past relationships. Dive deep and be fearless in facing your own shadows the parts that you didn’t want to take ownership if before, Capricorn is all about maturity responsibility. Pluto wants you to follow your truest most soulful wealth and desires and love yourself enough to simply do that. It’s almost like a life review.

This transit can take us and lovers to the deepest levels of intimacy not only sexual but naked soul to soul connections. Can we be lovable when we are in our darkest wildest most split off aspects? Can we trust another will love these ugly unacceptable parts of us?If we ask these questions we find out the diamond encrusted heart truths or the shit and refuse as Pluto rules both. We need to love it all ours and our partners and friends and see that we all have these shadow aspects. They are only dangerous when unconscious and suppressed then they run us and we project out our need to feel in control onto the government and give our power away.

Do the deep dark nitty gritty work now. The forces are with us. Note the US 1st Pluto return occurs while Venus is in Capricorn. There will be major upheavals.There are only two emotions LOVE or FEAR and LOVE VERSUS POWER or FORCE CHOOSE WISELY.

Look to where and how these transits are affecting you. please see my video of tarot card readings for all signs.

U.S. Solar Return, what lies ahead 2021-2022

HAPPY 245th Birthday America.

The 2021-2022 U.S. Solar Return chart for America is on July 4, its not always on the same calendar day. This is the natal and solar return chart.

U. S. Sibley Natal Chart and solar return July 4 2021

The SOLAR RETURN chart for America or for any entity a person or event is when the Sun returns to its place of birth.

This chart is a predictive chart for the year ahead from July 4 2021 until 2022.

The US, AC is 29 AQUARIUS a Critical degree

The Air Sign of revolution, technical innovation, freedom, equality, scientific information, the breaking up of old systems and structures and cryptocurrency is the most important point in traditional Astrology. America will focus on its own revolution coming to an end over the next year in more ways than one.

The 29th degree besides being anaretic meaning destructive or killing is Leo in Degree Theory ruled by the SUN in Cancer conjunct Sirius. Very royal, solar powered can be Big Leaders LEO/ 1% versus Aquarius ideal humanity. There will be drama.

The ruler of the AC is Saturn traditionally now strong in Aquarius at 12+ degrees in the U.S. 2^nd Natal house of resources, earnings, tools and close to the U.S. South Node at 6 degrees Aquarius. Uranus in Taurus is modern Aquarius ruler in the Natal 5^th House of creativity will power, children self expression, leadership, and Love.

Uranus in Taurus and Saturn in Aquarius and Mars in LEO in the 8^th Scorpio like house of finances, taxes, big power, death, control and secrets, at 13 degrees are involved in a  powerful T-Square on July 4. This aspect while separating over 2021-2022 leaves a lasting impact on the year ahead. The power struggles of old 1% “royalty” Leo ego, entitled financial organizations {2^nd and 8^th House} are in a life and death battle over control of values, money, people, resources, taxes, sex, power, keeping its secrets hidden and food with Uranus in Taurus. The 8^th house is the house of manipulation, ruthless big power struggles and immense wealth using technology to accomplish this.

This is all in place besides the fact that the U.S. in in process and will have its 1st Pluto Return in 2022 starting February 20 2022 for three exact hits.

PUTO rules death and rebirth and super wealth the PLUTOCRATS, also toxic waste, the underworld, shadows, secrets, power control sex, manipulation. Did Plutocrats found America or did pilgrims escaping persecution seeking freedom? Freedom is an Aquarian value.

America is having its GREAT RESET. Not in the way the government is pretending and i see it positively as a very big revolutionary energy as the people hopefully awaken and decide to take their power back from the 1% and tear down the old system of government. This has nothing to do with parties. Power to the people as it was originally on July 4 and now 245 years later.

Transiting JUPITER is sitting on the AC in the 1^st house at 1 degree PISCES indicating, hidden things, secrets, delusion, drugs, big pharma, money laundering, mental health, addictions, endings, delusions, projections, dreams, Hollywood, self-undoing, and denial. Jupiter governs Pisces and can be very spiritual and compassionate but also big martyrs and sacrificial lambs.

The MC or highest power and reputation in the world is 12 degrees SAGITTARIUS

This is the Sibley U.S. charts Ascendant.  The U.S. will put its Sagittarius outlook of immigrants, foreign affairs, truth, justice, higher education, politics, laws, freedom, and higher education reputation on the line.

The MOON in TAURUS

Is the Mood of the people, home, family, children, emotional safety, mothers, is at 15 degrees TAURUS another powerful mid-degree in the 5^th House which is naturally Leo like. Charisma, power, heart, protective, leadership, drama, children will all be big mood board topics.

THE MOON is ruled by VENUS in LEO at 9 degrees in its 8th Natal House

Venus is conjunct to MARS indicating an emphasis on money, values, power, sovereignty, the royals, drama, unions, love, leaders, an integration of the masculine and feminine. Play, creativity, self-expression, courage, strength, and passion. Could be tooth and claw.

The MOON conjunct URANUS is another obvious revolutionary changing mood reflecting chaos the unexpected, food issues financial upheaval, possible chaos in the markets, fluctuating values, and real estate, which Taurus and the Moon both rule. People on the move, changing homes, revolutionary dramatic changes, explosions, freedom and tearing down of old structures. The Moon symbolizes the home family and feelings Uranus can be cold unfeeling and reason over passion.

The Moon is also conjunct CERES the Great Mother who protects her children like the Greek Goddess Diana who is the moon personified at 21 Taurus. The Moon is being  T-squared by SATURN and MARS. The intense stresses between the Overlords Mars in Leo and the People {Aquarius} must be led by our feelings, Mothering to protect and connect with our families, and to feed our loved ones and all the children.

To be continued..

I’ll write more later today. It looks pretty fascinating.

Blessings of Grace, Jupiter and Archangel Gabriel

Jupiter is conjunct the Archangel FIXED STAR GABRIEL at 2 degrees PISCES Tropical now. This is extremely helpful and super positive sign of Heavenly help from above no matter how dire the energies are down here on earth right now.

The exact degree is THE ROYAL STAR is 03°52′ Pisces and it has an orb of 2°30′ in both directions.

Beneficial planet JUPITER bestowed of trust, truth, wisdom, luck and expansion is sitting having a latte with Archangel Gabriel now and we can tune into the two of them to ask for heavenly advice through prayer and meditation. Jupiter governs PISCES so this is a gift of special grace.

Gabriel is the ANNOUNCING ANGEL. All you have to do is ask Gabriel to hear your prayers and for Jupiter to grant your wishes. Its that simple. All you have to do is ask.

Jupiter turns Retrograde exactly on the Angel Gabriel STAR called Fomalhaut in the mouth of the PISCES fishes on June 20, Summer Solstice/ Cancer Ingress a very big day at 2+ degrees. This is one of the World points.

Jupiter remains conjunct to the star of Gabriel while it moves back into Aquarius July 28 and remains within orb until Jupiter stations Direct at 22+ 22′ note those Master numbers on October 17/18.

Jupiter speeds up to again conjoin Archangel Star/ Fomalhaut at the end of the year as it re-enters PISCES December 29. The two benefics are conjunct on the WINTER SOLSTICE as well, the two main gateways in the year. The winter Solstice chart is often used to prophesy the next year’s energies. This means Jupiter is conjunct GABRIEL on New Years Day 2022 as well, a beneficial ingress to 2022 in general. We are definitely getting DIVINE INTERVENTION

Jupiter reconnects with Gabriel on January 16 exact and speeds right through PISCES into ARIES for the rest of 2022. If this is your birthday expect some major good news in 2022.

Use this time with JUPITER on one of the 4 major ROYAL STARS of the skies to focus on compassion, dreams, charity, going within, letting go, healing, trusting God, meditating, being near water, and listening closely for Archangel Gabriel to give you them messages. Pisces is the last sign of the Zodiac.

If you have planets conjunct to 3+ degrees PISCES you have a direct line to Archangel Gabriel’s wisdom. This is a special opportunity that only comes along once in 12 years!

5 STAR REVIEWS for all of these workshops.

Hi Tara, 

I loved the workshop! I was glued to the monitor taking in all that you were sharing. I loved the backstories around Lilith and found myself researching after the workshop to learn more about her. I would love a workshop just on her alone and understanding how to embrace her energy based on her placement in the natal chart. 

You are engaging, and you embody a depth of knowledge and passion for teaching and astrology. You’re a natural teacher. I felt this during our mini phone reading last month, but seeing you through video and experiencing the information and the guided meditation was amazing.

Overall, I am grateful for you sharing how to harness the energy from the Leo Full moon and Jupiter’s conjunction with the Sun. I look forward to upcoming workshops and I am really hoping for beginner courses on astrology and the tarot. I’m teaching myself Tarot now and it is so much to learn. Guidance and mentoring would make all the difference.  -K P Leo Full Moon Workshop Jan 2021

Happy Lammas Pagan Harvest Fest

Lammas cross-quarter day Pagan Witch Harvest Festival August 1

August 1 is celebrated as one of the 8 spokes of the Turning of the year in the ancient nature calendar. Lammas is a pagan Harvest festival based on the Sun transiting its annual orbit. It marks halfway to the Autumn Equinox usually on September 21st as the Sun sits on the Equator for the second time in the year. 

George Cole (1810-1883) / Public domain

George Cole (1810-1883) [Public domain] Harvest rest

This is the original Burning Man Festival where John Barleycorn the original wheat/corn man was burned as an effigy. It’s traditionally a time of celebration of the harvest. John Barleycorn or a corn man figure symbolizing the sacred grain and most especially a sacred loaf was baked and offered to the four directions and to the earth Mother Ceres/Virgo in gratitude. 

The Goddess CERES/ Demeter is honoured as the giver of abundant grains. Lughnasad is its trad name. We are halfway to AUTUMN Equinox now. It is an Air element festival traditionally celebrated as the wake of the Sun KING, who is a star,  is dying now in the waning of his own Light. Cookie people figures and star cookies are baked in celebration. It is a time of anxious waiting, we are not yet assured of a harvest which will keep the people alive. It is time to free oneself from FEAR.  A snake dance is created going counter-clockwise, bread figures are thrown into the bonfire to symbolize the burning up of one’s fears. Then one says what one hopes to harvest.

Symbols of STARS are held up. The High Priestess would say,

“MAY THE STAR OF HOPE BE WITHIN US ALWAYS.”

“MAY THE STAR OF HOPE BE WITHIN US ALWAYS.”                         

This is also the symbol of the Tarot Card #17 The Star which is associated with Aquarius. We will have an Aquarius FUll Moon August 3.

NOTE that planets JUPITER and SATURN will conjunct December 21 2020 at 0 Aquarius. These two planets align once every 20 years which is considered a generation. The last time they met was in May of 2000 in Taurus the sign of the Bull Market and the U.S. had its biggest economic run-up during those years plus the historic crash of 2008. Plus 9/11 and Y2K and Donald Trump’s 1st presidency.  Jupiter and Saturn haven’t come together in the element of AIR which Aquarius is, in 800 years. That’s why many astrologer are saying this is the real dawning of the Age of Aquarius. 

The coveners would eat the star cookies and celebrate. see link below for more detailshttp://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/islandblogging/blogs/000081/0000005269.shtml
