Mars will travel through the dualistic info gathering, social media, communications, and merchandizing Trickster, consciousness sign from August 20, 2022, until March 25, 2023.

Mars spends seven+ months in the sign of fickleness, complimentary and opposing dualities changing sides due to the red planet’s Retrograde from October 30, 2022 to January 12, 2023. If you think Mercury Retrograde is difficult, Mars in the dualistic sign of communications in Gemini, the sign Mercury governs for 74 days will be a major rewind in communications. Slow brain drain? This aspect has many things going on typically of Gemini.

Mars enters its pre-retrograde shadow September 3, 2022, at 8°8′ degrees of Gemini during Labor Day weekend just before school starts.

Mars Stations and turns Retrograde October 30, 2022, at 6:25 a.m. PDT/ 9:26 am EDT/ October 30 at 1:26 pm GMT at 25°37′ degrees of Gemini.

Mars stations Direct Jan 12, 2023, at 12:56 p.m. PST/ 3:56 pm EST/ 8:56 pm GMT at 8°8′ degrees of Gemini.

Mars’s station at 8°08′ Gemini on January 12 will conjunct Uranus in the U.S. Sibly chart of the United States. That’s like the TOWER #16 in the Tarot coked up. Falling In the U.S. 6th house of work, service, community, health, house, this is a VERY DANGEROUS explosive violent chaotic aspect.

The post-retrograde period lasts until March 15, 2023, when Mars once again hits 25°37′ degrees of Gemini and begins to sail on.

Having Mars in Gemini for such an extraordinarily long time is sure to have us motivated to get through a lot of Mental work quickly. Mars is pure fast-acting energy and goes well with Gemini’s Mercurial quick-footed nature. The power of the mind over matter. Communicating is the ultimate weapon of choice.

One May 5 which is 5/5 and Venus’s sacred number is 5 the SUN conjuncts URANUS at 14+ degrees on the 15^th and most powerful degree of any sign.  That should prove to be a shocking day in the money markets and crypto, Bitcoin etc. as Bitcoin is governed by Uranus.

On May 15 there is a Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio  with the Sun square to Saturn in Aquarius at 25+ degrees Taurus/Aquarius, and Sun sextile Neptune in PISCES.

May 19 Sun trine Pluto in Capricorn a big wealth day.

Sun enters GEMINI May 20.

Taurus was once the first sign of the zodiac in Ancient Babylonian times, when the Vernal/Spring equinox began. Taurus is  ruled by the planet Venus who was known as ISHTAR.. Because of the precession of the Equinoxes Aries is now the 1st sign of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere.

During the month when the Sun soaks up Taurus energy we all slow down, we are primarily in our bodies, more grounded, and indulging our senses which can feel much more acute.  Taurus is stable fixed earth; it is our body and resources. Taurus is stubborn, and can be lazy, they like to be lazy people.  Known as nature lovers, Taurus do love to stop and smell the roses and it is good for them to garden and be surrounded by nature. Taurus’ likes practical things; they are often artisans and  work well with their hands. Taurus works hard because they like the rewards. They can spend money lavishly too. 

The 2nd sign also governs the 2nd house in the natural system which governs income and money. Real estate, art and traditional blue-chip things are what Taurus values. Venus blesses Taurus with fine taste,  a love of art, great food, beautiful fabrics, and the like. Taurus rules the throat chakra, and they are often good singers, speakers and musicians. 

You can usually spot a Taurus by their build, usually very strong and healthy, well muscled. They like harmony in their relationships.  Taurus people can be vain. They are loyal and reliable but stubborn. They are straightforward uncomplicated, hate change and act from their need for comfort first.  They can have huge tempers though which can flare up unexpectedly. Do not egg on a Taurus, they can be like enraged bulls, from which the word bully comes. 

Taurus is the symbol #5 in the Tarot the Pope, Hierophant, High Priest, Rabbi 

Taurus is compatible with other earth and water signs. Also, Libra as Venus rules both signs.

we Witnessed the carnage of the past week caused by overheated ARIES reckless actions-

The Boston bombings,West Texas explosion APril 17, a powerful earthquake in Iran, MIT shootings, the crash of gold markets even.

It was a horrific, sad, intense, irritating, hectic, teeth gnashing, exhausting, shocking week to say the least.

SUN ENTERS TAURUS – YAY April 19  6:03  pm EDT  

 

As sun enters TAURUS we get grounded, finally. Taurus is sensual, the body,  tools,resources. Food, music, love, flirting, romance, flowers, fine wine, art. WE ALL LOVE THAT

The BULL MARKET? Bulls are still worshipped in India today, it is a very ancient practice around the world. Except in Spain. In Crete the Priestess women practiced bull jumping. The earliest known art, dating back 30,000 years is that of Bulls in the Caves of Lascaux,France and identified with the Constellation of TAURUS and the 7 stars of the PLEIADES.

 

 

30,000 year old cave paintings of Bull and Pleiades Stars

 

 as we enter the month of Taurus we need to work with our voices, sounding, singing, awakening our power.

The word/vibration sound is healing , the body the reed, the instrument. 

 

Many famous singers and Musicians are  Taurus

Bono of U2, Cher, Stevie Wonder, Janet Jackson, Barbara Streisand, Duke Ellington, Bing Crosby, Ella Fitzgerald, Roy Orbison, Bing Crosbie, Iggy Pop, Billy Joel, David Byrne, Enya, Kelly Clarkson, Adele, Chris Brown, Willie Nelson and Pete Townshend of the Who,James Brown, Glen Campbell, Brien ENO, Joey Ramone, Enrique Iglesius

Issues around money, getting strong, rooted, practical;walking your talk, loving your physical incarnation are all on the menu.

 

After ARIEs inspiration comes Taurus perspiration. 

 

April 20 

Mercury conjunct Uranus in the wee hours. Be awake in your dreams and listen to higher consciousness and brilliant insights at 9 degrees ARIES.

 

Where is that point in your chart? That’s where you need to revolt, molt, think outside the box, see the big picture.

Yom Kippur Holy day of AtONEment and Repentance

Yom Kippor for the Jewish People is the Highest and Holiest and most solemn day of the Year. After 10 days of repentance since Rosh Hashona the New year, Yom Kippor is spent mainly in intense prayer in the synagogue and fasting for 25 hours. The solemn song Kol Nidre is sung on the night of Yom Kippor.

Here is one of my childhood favourite singer’s Al Jolson singing Kol Nidre.

Each Jewish person confesses their sins to G-d directly  any wrongs doings against G-d or other persons, prostrates themselves and taps their heart chakra. On this day G-d’s  inscription for each person’s fate in the Book of Life  for the coming year was inscribed at Yom Kippor and  that verdict is  now “sealed.”

  There are five prayer services throughout the day. Jews wear white as a symbol of purity. Orthodox men take ritual baths in preparation.  At the end of the days prayers the ancient Ram’s horn or shofar is blown which concludes the fast. Thi ssprings from the Era of Aries the ram, astrologically and astronomically 4,000-6,000 years ago.

At the end of the days prayers the song Avinu Malkeinu is sung, here is Barabara Streisand singing it in Hebrew.

This is a good ritual. My take on all organized religions these days is to be totally open to all of them as each carries truth. All is ONE at heart, so join in with the Hindus, the Jews, the Christians, the Muslinm, the Chines, the Indigenous peoples. So one this day one can join in on the Jewish people asking for your own personal repentence. Complete fasting, no drinking either. No work, sex is abstained from, no wearing of leather shoes as well, no driving or handling of money until after sundown.

All former promises are revoked the slate is wiped clean. New intentions are made, G-d forgives your sins. Clean slate for a whole new year.

Also there will be services on wall street at the occupation. Jewish leaders are  stressing the integrity of helping others not only the Jewish tradition. This is a good thing.

If only people’s personal debts and the National debt could be wiped out annually too. Tranditionally any debt carried for 7 years was forgiven. Can’t we just decide that it is so?
