WOMEN AND ART

Venus in Capricorn is older beautiful women and ensior artists too, I started out as an artist, graduated from OCAD, in Toronto. My fave living artist is Judy Chicago,for creating the Dinner Part in 1979 a HUGE monumental Femininst work of art. She created the Birth Project her influence is huge.

Women must assert themselves in the corporate world now. Ironically Greta Gerwig the Director of the billion dollar world block buster Barbie and Margot Robbie who starred and produced were left out of the OSCARS race announced on the same day.Althought they did get nomintaed in other catagories and America got nominates as best supporting actress for her phenominal speech.

Venus rules our tastes, our values, money, luxury, and creativity.

Because Venus answers to Saturn while she is on Capricorn,Saturn’s presence in PISCES sextile to January 28 brings a more dreamy creative, La La Land, projection filled stay.Can be very romantic but also the projection bubbles can burst.

Venus in Capricorn is great for committing yourself to working on a cherished creative project and to have the discipline to get it all done. A Saturn ruled Venus will toil willingly, many late after hours to achieve her love or job goals. 

VENUS rules money, the economy, your earnings and spendings, self-worth, values, luxury. Capricorn is conservative, blue chip, Old boys $. Yes commitments, marriage, signing on the dotted line must be for love and long term. Whether for biz or pleasure.

Time to embrace traditional values.This is when brides dream about the church wedding and the traditional gown.

Capricorn may be struck by Cupid’s now and meet someone you’re karmically meant to meet. Its all about timing.

Love may also feel heavy, depressing and somber as befits Capricorn. Especially if you are alone and longing for a partner. Just remember it’s all just part of the testing of the Saturn rules journey. With Saturnin PISCES issues of guilt, regret, depression and escapism, can come up. Cut ties with any past lovers, get ou of victim mentality, grow up and take responsability for creating all of that, and work through any regrets, losses, goals.

Venus in Capricorn is time to embrace traditional values.This is when brides dream about the church wedding and the traditional gown.

Time to build foundations for creativity and for new love. Venus in Capricorn likes routine order discipline. You’ll find it easier and more enjoyable to follow a routine, workout or New Years goals.

VENUS Capricorn’s are horny goats. If you’ve never loved a Capricorn they will surprise you with their wild down to earth nature.

Venus in Capricorn love is “Just the facts ma’am.”  Eat Lotsa FETTA CHEESE while Venus is in GOAT territory! It’s good for you.

LOVE is SERIOUS BUSINESS, and real during these next four months.No airy fairy or intense emotional stuff now.

Venus is the EMPRESS in the Tarot. Capricorn is THE DEVIL {SATURN} in the Tarot Trumps.

Mars in Virgo, Work love,

Mars, the action planet is in earthy, practical, perfectionist, hard-working Virgo July 10 at 7:40 am EDT- August 27 brings a drive to improve your health, and may trigger and irritates your upper digestion. Mars is desire, so the desire to eat better, be more responsible, organized and passionate for work, read more, be more intellectual, and of service to community, get a pet, and be humble are aspects of this transit. All very important things.

DO YOU LOVE YOUR WORK? is a big question to as. If not what are you going to do about it?

Seven weeks of spontaneous fire-powered testosterone energy being forced into a perfect hard-working earthen box, feels kind of like being buried alive for Aries and Scorpio.

While Mars is in Virgo, Mercury governs Mars actions. Mercury will be in VIRGO from July 28 at 5:31 pm EDT and turns Retrograde at 21 degrees Virgo 49- on August 23 at 3:59 pm EDT until September 15 at 8 degrees 04 minutes. The Mercury Shadow period begins on August 3/4 and it will take until September 30 for Mercury to get up to speed clearly again.

I WILL WRITE A SEPARATE ARTICLE WILL ALL THE ASPECTS AVAILABLE VIA SUBSCRIPTION

The minutia of Life is all that matters, its all in the details. Read Marcel Proust, Virgo’s love to read,

A good time to start to build a new home office or work-space. Seek a new job, change your diet, do a lot of walking or running. Virgo is associated with community and pets. You may fall in love with a cat or dog and adopt a rescue animal.

Mars in Virgo Read Marcel Proust, À la recherche du temps perdu (In Search of Lost Time) Virgo’s loves to read. Set yourself a goal that you can finish, Virgo always gets the job done .

Positive ways to use this energy are: start a new workout routine, and diet regiment and clean out your desk, office or your home. Sign up to do martial arts such as Kung Fu, or kick boxing.  Vent the anger positively. Clean up trash in your environment or at work. Make your own homemade lunches reducing waste and eating healthier and saving money. Virgo loves to save. 

MARS IN VIRGO is about cleaning up the environment. Yes Mars is needing to learn to ground itself, to be under the tutelage of nit-picky, diligent, organized and accounting for everything VIRGO.

Mars in Virgo is a good time to elect or have surgery, or get dental work done as Mars is caffeinated Virgo precision. Virgo is meticulous, and Mars is sharp weapons, knives, and scalpels.

The sign of Virgo is the Hermit #9 in the Tarot 

It is a good time to be in nature and connect deeply with the earth.

Mars in Virgo/Earth warrior is the Knight of Disks in the tarot  

MARS IN VIRGO wants to clean up the environment. Mars fiery energy is needing to learn to ground itself, to be under the tutelage of nit-picky, diligent, organized and accounting for everything VIRGO. As you can imagine, Mars the warrior God is not happy so about having to build a whole fort, stock it with supplies and have his battle plans ready when what he wants to simply attack and win. Mars isn’t happy having to hold back and be accountable although that is what a lot of the military is about discipline and order. Think of the next seven weeks as trying to break a wild cat so you can ride him.

“There’s more to being a warrior than killing. A true warrior — the best warrior — isn’t cruel or mean. He doesn’t claw an enemy who can’t fight back. Where’s the honor in that?” ― Erin Hunter, Forest of Secrets

Mercury in SAGITTARIUS keywords: Forthright, honest, naive, inspiring, optimistic, adventurous, good-humoured, preachers, animal rights, political activists, Judges, publishing, mystics, philosophers, teachers, spiritual, sage are all keywords.

It’s a good time to plan travels, learn and pursue higher education of all kinds. Sagittarius are often self-taught not necessarily University,

Mercury in Sagittarius’s influence makes a bit scatterbrained.

Mercury in Sagittarius is related specifically to the 8 of Wands in the Tarot, Major Arcana card #14 Temperance and the King of Wands as ruler of Sagittarius in general 

You will be thinking about everything all at once and want to learn more and share knowledge. Mercury in Sagittarius sets your brain on fire and is open-minded.

A good time for doing yoga, studying religion and spirituality; Foreign languages, writing, publishing, finding a guru or teacher and connecting with like-minded thinkers. This energy will help you to search for higher meaning and truth. You will not be able to lie with Mercury in Sagittarius.

Be careful because of this energy as it makes us all a bit naive. Legal matters, sports and religion are all Sagittarius topics. Voicing your opinions on political and animal rights and education will be important. Be careful not to be preachy and hypocritical. Mercury in Sagittarius wants to be “in the know” about everything.

Britney Spears Astrology says freedom is in her future

Britney Spears Natal and transits

Britney Spears is an American singer, songwriter, dancer, and actress. She has had a super successful career influencing the revival of teen pop during the late 1990s and early 2000s, for which she is referred to as the “Princess of Pop.”

Britney Spears courageously told an LA court June 24 how she truly felt about her conservatorship and detailed some of the horrifying rules that have been imposed on her life over the past 13 years. The horror show began when a nervous breakdown led to her estranged father taking the rights to her freedom to govern her own life away be becoming her conservator. She lost custody of her two small boys to her ex-husband and her father took control of her estimated 60 million dollar fortune.

The singer has been trying to have her father Jamie Spears removed from the conservatorship team and called his actions so abhorrent that in her opinion he should be ‘in jail’.

Britney was born December 2, 1981, at 1:30 a.m. in McComb, Mississippi. Britney is a quintuple Sagittarius with Sun, Uranus, Mercury and Lilith conjunct Neptune in Sagittarius. She’s fiery, outspoken, naive, hi-spirited, sporty, and adventurous gal. Famous as a dancer and pop singer.

Her 2° Libra Ascendent gives Britney much charm, she wants to be liked, she will do anything to be relatable, but she can’t make up her mind, she can’t be without a partner.

Britney’s Moon is 12 Aquarius

She’s a natural rebel, she needs to march to her own drummer, she needs freedom and liberation always to be her unique self. She’s always felt alienated from her mother and the family itself.

Saturn, symbolizing her father and Pluto,all about power control and secrets are in her 1st house of self-identity. Very descriptive Of what’s been going on in her life.

Her Jupiter at 1 Scorpio rules her 5 Sagittarius placements conjunct Pluto in Libra at 25 degrees makes everything in Britney’s life an obsessive, big financial emotional roller coaster ride.

Venus rules her Ascendent from 25 Capricorn in her 4th house of family, childhood. It exactly squares her Pluto in Libra. Venus is how she loves, and her values, she is traditional in love, and doesn’t find true love until she’s older and more mature. There has always been sexual and emotional abuse, secrets power money and control issues.

With Mars at 23 Virgo in her 12h of secrets, mental health, working behind the scenes, spirituality, hard work, mysterious, karma, addictions perfectionism, OCD and working in a glamour industry. She has imposter syndrome. Britney is a practical simple woman at heart but with a lot of difficult karma. She is a perfectionist and has repressed anger, no doubt.

Britney’s South Node in Capricorn Conjuncts Venus and square Pluto in Libra and Saturn and Jupiter in Scorpio. She has past life karmic power struggles in love and with her dad and other relationships. Love is a battlefield for Britney.

North Node at 23 Cancer in her 10th House off fame and world reputation squares Saturn Pluto and Jupiter. Britney was acting since she was a child forced into the stage at a young age. She became famous for acting like a schoolgirl Cancer is the sign of the child. Her greatest desire is to nurture the world and feel loved to replace the love she lacked in her childhood. She also loves children and needs them to feel fulfilled.

Past history

Since Pluto entered Sagittarius on Nov. 10, 1995, I remember leading a workshop honouring Pluto’s sojourn through the Last fire sign at that time and it was empowering all things Sagittarius until Jan. 27, 2008. She divorced he husband Kevin Federline in July of 2007 and had joint custody of her two young sons. Britney has an apparent breakdown on February 19, 2007 where she shaved her head. Her father took hold of her fortune through a conservatorship claiming that she was incapable of handling her own affairs.

A documentary about Spear’s career and the conservatorship Framing Britney Spears premiered on FX channel in February of 2021. The New York Times obtained confidential court documents stating that Spears had pushed for years to end her conservatorship. Spears spoke to the court on June 23, calling the conservatorship “abusive”. This info was shared on Twitter and the hashtag #FreeBritney went viral.
On September 7, 2021, Jamie filed a petition to end the conservatorship,

Current planetary transits will change her life and give her freedom now.

Transiting Pluto on her Venus, her values and career and long term goals, in Capricorn square Saturn Pluto in Libra and Jupiter in Scorpio will transform her life she is absolutely set for a total rebirth.

SATURN representing her father, karma, limitations in freedom-loving AQUARIUS is conjunct her NATAL MOON in Aquarius at 12 degrees which symbolizes his control of her emotions, her emotions, restrictions, limitations,testing of her home, family, childhood, emotional security and freedom.

URANUS at 12 degrees TAURUS is squaring Britney’s Moon bringing in freedom, revolutions and unexpected changes. The Saturn/Uranus square of 2021 is her liberation.

She will be freed to live the life she wants. She’s freeing herself from her family control soon.

Transitting NEPTUNE in PISCES in her 6H opposite her NATAL MARS in VIRGO

Neptune rules film, performers, debt, mental illness. The documentary Framing Britney Spears was made about her father enslaving her through absolute control and the trial now is absolutely in line with Mars in Virgo square Neptune and Lilith in Sagittarius. Neptune rules fragility, mental illness projections, addictions, it was partly drug problems that waterfalled the whole original breakdown in the first place. BRITNEY still finds it difficult to cope but this also removes the veil of illusions. Neptune in her 6H is very creative, and can bring Britney a new spiritual wholeness and direction. She must be careful of her health though, With Mars in Virgo she tends to worry and control things, she could have nightmares and haunting dreams.

Even though on July 1st the Judge did not remove her father from the conservatorship I know it will just take some time. Jupiter was Retrograde.

Lastly Jupiter-planet of justice, truth, honesty in Pisces at 2 degrees where it stationed Retrograde so recently squares he Uranus At 0 Sagittarius and Mercury at 5 Sagittarius was just Eclipsed May 26 Lunar Eclipse at 5 Sagittarius. Britney’s time has come. NO more hit me baby one more time. No more toxic relationships.

BRITNEY SHALL BE FREE!

NOTE And so it is November 13, 202 the planets in their cycles set her free after a 13 year cycle.

The December 4 Total Eclipse at 12 Sagittarius is conjunct her Sun indicating a brand new 18+ year cycle. Congratulations Britney and her fans who helped put her issues out in to the public a very Aquarian victory.

Mars in Virgo, Angels,Perfect lover Horoscopes

Mars, the warrior planet where the action is always, enters earthy mutable practical VIRGO Oct 15 – December 7.

Mars in Virgo is the eco-warrior, the workplace protector, the perfectionist lover. The soldier called  Mr.Clean

 

MARS in Virgo energy is extremely analytical and precise. Virgo is ruled by MERCURY so though grounded, it has a strong intellectual connection. Virgo’s are very disciplined and concerned about Health. They can be OCD -like, worrying and fussing,  really anal about anything being out of place. They are perfectionists and critical. They are focussed, hard workers, like practical things, never overspend and are much like the character of Sheldon Cooper in the Big Bang Theory. BAZINGA!

Mars in Virgo -The pen is mightier than the sword and so might the penis be.

Mars in Virgo will attack intellectually and slay you with criticism, more than physically although they can be strong.

It’ll be a testosterone driven  7 weeks of  getting passionate {and defensive}  about  work, your community, pets, perfectionism, hard work, accounting, cleaning up, balancing the budget, punctuality, nature lovers, gardening, servants, organizing everything, eating a very healthy diet- no carbs, no gluten, no dairy, no wheat etc., working out, cleansing the body and your environment at every moment, a tendency to only buy when absolutely necessary, only practical shoes- no high heels or brand names allowed.

Check out where VIRGO is in your natal chart that’s the hot area.

MARS and an ARCHANGEL

MARS will initially ignite and unite with the fixed star Regulus now at zero degrees Virgo from October 15- 19th. Not just a character in Harry Potter, REGULUS was the heart of the Lion for the last 2,160 years. Regulus is Royalty, and in Virgo it’s down to earth, notice them marrying mere commoners now.

REGULUS is also the STAR of ARCHANGEL RAPHAEL a beautiful angel who governs the Heart and his energy is a gorgeous emerald green colour. Raphael’s energy is extremely healing, I have been initiated into working with Angel Raphael and it’ so beautiful. I send prayers to the earth daily with this Archangel. Meditate on Mars activating the heart chakra during this Virgo transit.

Mars in VIRGO sexually

Men will tend to serve their female partners. They will pay attention to every detail of what their partners like and use that as a reference. Mars in VIRGO is squeaky clean sex, and perfect order in the bedroom. They can have a lot of stamina. Sex may be very routine, always at the same time, not too late. Sex with Mars in Virgo is like everything else, hard work, something that they will finish to perfection. They are not romantics.They can be kinky and play dominant /slave. As Virgo is known to be the sign of servants.

The down side of Mars in Virgo, worrying about every detail, driving oneself and others crazy complaining about everything that is imperfect, nervousness, overly organizing, being too submissive, too frugal, fear of dirt, and upper intestinal and digestive troubles. Stressed out, can’t relax in sex, comparing you to anyone else who was more perfect.

When Mercury Goes Retrograde in Scorpio Oct 21 that will shift and slow Mars down down till Mercury goes Direct Nov. 10

MARS THROUGH THE SIGNS

Mars in Virgo will make beneficial aspects to Taurus, and Capricorn plus water signs Cancer and Scorpio.

Mars will be pushing Sagittarius butt to get their acts together, makes Pisces dreamers get real, grounds those air headed Gemini’s.

Mars in Virgo will annoy Aquarius, and especially ARIES, as he rules that sign and they just don’t understand each other.

LEO and Libra get off scott free.

Mars in Virgo will be opposite NEPTUNE from the 15- exact on the 19th so have a very romantic frugal date that night.

A great day to ignite new dreams and artists visions.

Mars sextiles North Node  at 7 degrees Virgo to Scorpio on October 28- check out the angle of your goal and realign if necessary

Mars opposes Chiron October 29 for some excellent healing and forgiveness

PERFECT LOVER by Britney Spears

Groundhog Day/ Imbolc/ St. Brigid’s feast, I got you babe Astrology

 

Groundhog Day/   ST. Brigid’sDay Candlemas/Imbolc

Feb. 1/ 2nd, We are halfway to SPRING in Northern Hemisphere

Not  just I GOT YOU BABE for INFINITY but it’s a Traditional Irish and Pagan Holiday Celebrations

The song would more aptly be LIGHT MY FIRE- by the Doors, of course. 

Groundhog Day was and is celebrated in the Modern Irish Calendar as Saint Brigid’s Day,or Bride’s Day, both a Catholic and Pagan Celebration of an ancient Goddess tradition,.

Known as Imbolc to Wiccans/Pagans, Christians overlaid the Ancient Goddess worshipers’ holiday renaming it Candlemas or the fest of the Purification of the Virgin. This celebration also relates to the midpoint between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox.

It is a “cross-quarter” day in the 8 rounds of the Wheel of Time in the Solar based year. Since the Celtic Year was based on both lunar and solar cycles, it is most likely the holiday would be celebrated on the Full Moon nearest those 2 midpoints, when early spring flowers would begin to rise and snakes would come out of the ground.

The SNAKE is the precursor of the Groundhog, which the Romans replaced with a Hedgehog, which we… On Feb. 2^nd.

Ancient peoples of Ireland kept this day as very sacred. At the Megalithic and Neolithic sites in Tara, Ireland, the inner chambers of the passage tombs are perfectly aligned with the rising sun of both Imbolc and Samhain attesting to the value placed on this day.

Triple Goddess/Saint Brigid/Bride’s Sacred Day

In the Scottish Highlands where she was known as Bride, every morning the fire was kindled with an invocation to Bride:

“I will build the hearth
As Mary would build it.
The encompassment of Bride and of Mary
Guarding the hearth, guarding the floor,
Guarding the household all.”

The 10th-century Cormac’s Glossary states that Brigid was the daughter of the Dagda, the “Great God” of the Tuatha de Danaan – “woman of wisdom…a goddess whom poets adored, because her protection was very great and very famous.” Since poetry, filid, was interwoven with the aspects of divination, the vates, Brigid was seen as the inspiration behind divination and prophecy.

You can see Brigit above the south western door of the tower on Glastonbury Tor milking a cow.

INVOCATION TO SAINT BRIDE

“Dear Saint Bridget of the Kine
Bless these little fields of mine,
The pastures and the shady trees,
Bless the butter and the cheese,
Bless the cows with coats of silk
And the brimming pails of milk,
Bless the hedgerows, and I pray
Bless the seed beneath the clay,
Bless the hay and bless the grass,
Bless the seasons as they pass,
And heaven’s blessings will prevail,
Brigid – Mary of the Gael”

According to Robert Graves,she is the most Ancient Triple Goddess worshipped since time out of mind. The Goddess rules over scholars and poets. She is the Goddess of fire and inspirations in Ireland, the Goddess of poetry, creativity, smithcraft and healing. She also rules healing with water, and divination. She is said to rule over people who work with cows and chickens, brewers, fugitives, midwives, infants, printers, sailors, travelers, New Zealand, & Irish nuns.

This day symbolizes a time of transitions, initiations, new beginnings, of planting seeds that will sprout later. Brigid/Birgita represents the light half of the year,Her power brings the people out of the dark season of winter into spring, so, it is a very important time of the year.

She is the Goddess of Augury

In the Druidic tradition, poetry and augury were associated. She is patron of prophets and seers.

Celtic seers divined by looking into deep water and into flames. This is a great time to do divination.

Triple Goddess

She has two sisters with the same name. One aspect of her carries a blacksmith tongs and a sword, because she is also patroness of war; another aspect holds 2 healing snakes, from which the modern Doctor’s symbol is derived, the caduceus, the third aspect carries a wand with a crescent moon and a tablet.

Elements

Brigid rules the Waters. Many healing springs are dedicated to Brigid. Natural bodies of water also signify Her presence, particularly where three streams joined together. She also rules Fire, so it is customary to make candles for the coming year and bless them on this day.

Protecting Goddess

In her aspect as Brigantia, she carries a spear, an orb of victory, and wears a war crown. She symbolizes protection of the country from invaders and slavery.

Midwives

As Patroness of Midwives, she was invoked at the door of the home where the woman was giving birth, by the midwife. Who speke:

Bride, Bride, come in! Thy welcome is truly made, Give thou relief to the woman, And give thou the conception to the Trinity.

Brigid is the guardian of every newborn, their cradles protected with a woven Brigit’s Cross, an equal armed cross. Upon a safe delivery, the infant was blessed or “sained” by the midwife, with 3 drops of water on the child’s forehead, dedicating the Child to the Triple Goddess.

The “Holy Trinity” in its modernized Christian aspect, was just an overlay of the Goddess Triple Aspect since time out of memory. A candle was carried ‘round the bed sun wise three times. As Brigid is a Solar Goddess. We think of the Sun as masculine but originally all aspects of the Universe were considered Feminine.

Brigid Ruler of the Hearth

Especially in Gaelic Scotland, Brigid’s dolls are placed near the hearth on her Feast Day. The doll is usually dressed in white. A white wand is placed in her bed as a fertility charm. As she is patroness of agriculture, pastures, livestock, and abundance. An offering is made to her of dairy products. The Brigid doll is kept throughout the year near the hearth hung on a wall, or by a door, as a talisman of protection, then burnt the next year.

Light a Candle and Invoke the Goddess at this time-

I kindle this candle in the name of Brighid, Goddess of Smiths,

I sain this house in the name of Brighid, Goddess of Healers,

I smoor this candle in the name of Brighid, Goddess of Poets.

One folk tradition still continues in both Christian and Pagan homes on St. Brigid’s Day is that of St. Brigid’s Bed. Girls and young unmarried women create corn dollies to represent Brigid, these are adorned with ribbons, baubles shells or stones. A bed is made for the doll to lie in. On St. Brigid’s Eve Jan 31, the girls gather together in one house and stay up all night with the doll, are are later visited by all the young men, who ask permission to enter the home, and then treat the young maidens and the dolly with respect. The next day the girls carry the doll through the neighbourhood from house to house, where she is welcomed with great honour. Adult women stay home to welcome the Brigid procession and offer snacks and coins to the young girls and maidens.

Brigid is said to walk the earth on Imbolc eve. Feb 1st. Before going to bed, each member of the household may leave a piece of clothing or strip of fabric outside for Brigid to bless. The cloth are brought inside the next morning, believed to now have the powers of healing and protection.

BRIGID is alive and well.

The name “Britain” is a derivation of Brigit’s name. Britain was named for an ancient Celtic tribe, the Brigantes, who were the largest Celtic tribe in the country in pre-Roman times who worshipped Her as their Deity.

The tribe originated from an area now called Bregenz in Austria near Lake Constance. The word “brigand” comes from this tribe of fierce warriors. Her symbol is a flaming spear. Her worship spread, leaving behind places named in Her honour-Brittany in France, Brechin in Scotland, the name Brent, in England, any name containing Bride.

Britain’s symbol, the Goddess Brigantia, still found on their 50 cent coin is Brigid in her aspect as Goddess of the Land. In Old German/Yiddish the word “Fabrent” meaning burnt, honours this Ancient Goddess.

Britney Spears is carrying the modern archetypal literal name of Brigid, and strangely enough one of Brigid’s symbols is a flaming spear! Britney Spears her name literally is  St. Bridgit
