Do toast Mexico, have some tequila and toast its Mayan heritage.
Moon is now in Sagittarius and we all be feeling better for the next two+ days. Sagittarius is inspiring. The sign of International affairs, life long learning, teaching, good humor, adventure loving, and easy-going laid back….whatever-ness. I am a Sagittarius. It is my Lunar return today.
It’s a bit serious today as Moon has conjunct Saturn. Foreign affairs, travel and making commitments are on your mind. The shootings in Texas over the Mohammed drawings like in Denmark and France bring this to mind. If we cant have artistic freedom to express ourselves in democratic countries WTH is going on ? Muslims can do what they want in their own lands. They do not have the fascistic right to impose their wills on anybody else. It is not a religion but a fascist order.
Moon opposes Mercury in Gemini
We are now in the Shadow of a Mercury Retrograde so be extra careful going over details.
Moon squares Neptune late tonight only in PDT
which is good for programming adventurous dreams and working with dream teachers, as Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter is the esoteric home of the Higher master Teachers. You can ask to work with a favourite Ascended Master, writer, poet or philosopher.
Speaking of Dreams.
I had a very powerful dream the night before the Full Moon. MAy 2. It is I waded into a pond of dark brown water, my husband was in the water as well as a number of other people I didn’t seem to know. Usually I dislike wading into still water like that. I could feel the reeds on the bottom and a mushy muddy bed which also usually disgusts me in real life. In the dream I was fine with it. I wade in, the pond smells of sulphur, to note a smell in the dream is very unusual. Smell is what connects us to the strongest memories, it is our ancient reptilian brain that does this.
I wade in but am feeling very calm and very good. Perhaps this is a mud bath which soothes my soul
Mud is the fertile ground from which the lotus grows.
It is good that I am dreaming about sulphur, part of the alchemical nature and in the ground where future enlightenment may grow. Maybe I need a mud bath.
Always analyze your dreams from a more transpersonal perspective, although everything and object in your dream is you.
The energy has been feeling so heavy and intense. Haven’t you been feeling it?
Mars in Pisces- drowning in the ocean of emotion squared by Saturn in Sagittarius, religious fanaticism, karma, unfinished deeds, revenge, obstacles. yep that;s whats been happening.

I’m leading an Astrology workshop @GRAIL SPRINGS SPA JAN 16-18
January 7,2015 at 11:30 am in Paris at the headquarters of Charlie Hebdo in the 11th district, masked Gunmen with Kalashnikov rifles stormed in, firing at a receptionist they moved upstairs and opening fire on an editorial conference being attended by eight journalists, a policeman who was a personal guard for the editor in chief and a guest. As they ran out of the building they were filmed by a passerby who recorded them shouting “God is Great” in Arabic. Police came to the scene immediately and a shootout ensued. One policeman who was injured, was shot in the head in cold-blood. The well-organized terrorists lept into a waiting car and fled. They later abandoned the car and fled. Paris is on extreme alert for further Terrorist attacks. Police identified three of the attackers and one of them may have surrendered to authorities. They were known by police, I wonder why they were free.
The world is aghast and mourning. I send prayers to the 12 innocent people who were brutally murdered and their families. This is the worst terrorist attack in France since 1961 during the Algerian war.
Charlie Hebdo had been named after Charlie Brown , Charles Shulz famous comic. It has been firebombed before in November 2011 for making Anti Islamic cartoons. They have been satirical towards all types of groups and governments over the years. There was a court case defending the newspapers rights. In September 2012 they choose to publish cartoons attacking Mohammed. “The accusation that we are pouring oil on the flames { by President Obama} in the current situation really gets on my nerves,” said Stephane Charbonnier, the newspapers editor in chief.
Stephane had infamously been quoted saying “After the publication of this absurd and grotesque film about Muhammad in the U.S., other newspapers have responded to the protests with cover stories. We are doing the same thing, but with drawings.”
“And a drawing has never killed anyone,” he added. Stephane Charbonnier was one of the 12 people killed yesterday.
Just hours before the attack the Paper published this cartoon and sent out a tweet of a cartoon depicting Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi with the message: “Meilleurs vœux, au fait.” (Best wishes, by the way.)
Freedom of speech is a basic right of Democracy. The paper was irreverent, satirizing all types of governments and religions. I’ve always loved satire because the more extreme it is the more it gets to the heart of the truth.
A media forum supporting the Islamic State militant organization praised the attack. “Congratulations to France and its people for harvesting what their hands have sown,” the media channel said. “Do those malicious artists think we are a nation that remains silent to those who mock our Messenger, Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him?
The Astrology at this terrible massacre
COMET LOVEJOY
I know I had written about comet Lovejoy in a very positive sense. I was attempting to accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative. I also mentioned being very careful what one says. Traditionally comets have always been branded as “Harbinger of Doom” and “the Menace of the Universe.” Comets were seen as swords with their tails as the handles unsheathed. They have historically been linked to wars and disasters- the word means without a star, for centuries in all countries.
LOVEJOY was expected to reach its closest point to Earth — a minimum of 43.6 million miles (70.2 million km) — on Jan. 7 it is travelling through the River of Stars, Eridanus now. Not far from huge star RIGEL the Foot of Orion the Great Hunter, the part of Orion that was stung by the Scorpion.
The Lunar Nodes now aligned with URANUS in Aries South Node at the mid- degrees and Pluto in Capricorn squaring the North Node at 14 degrees LIBRA is a very karmic situation.
Comet Lovejoy is in early GEMINI Tropical Zodiac right now opposite Saturn. Not marked on the chart. This does not bode well.
Saturn at 1 degree Sagittarius is already square to Neptune in Pisces at 5 degrees in the 12th house of secret enemies. Satan was the ancient name of Saturn. The Devil is the scapegoat or shadow { like Pluto} to whatever religious or cultural beliefs one has. Saturn always symbolizes death, history, Patriarchy, testing, obstacles, karma. Sagittarius rules religion, preachers, publishing, freedom of speech, philosophy, humor, inspiration, and International matters.
The two planets are a very literally telling the ominous portent of this heinous situation springing from old karmic vendettas about religious freedom. Neptune is symbolic of spirituality, imminent ecstatic religious experience, as opposed to organized religion. Pisces is the planet which rules oil, Hollywood, film, which Arabs were also forbidden to use, illusion, delusion, psychosis, hypnosis, secret enemies.
Mars in Aquarius – actions of freedom, is opposite a Retrograde Jupiter in Leo. “I am right, God is right. The Divine right of Kings.”
LILITH is in Virgo opposite Neptune square to Saturn.
Lilith symbolizes the feminine archetype of disobedience to any outside higher authority, especially religious and she symbolizes the Charlie Hebdo- screw them attitude. Lilith is also involved in a T-square with Saturn.
The 3 terrorist suspects; Saïd Kouachi, born September 7 1980 in Paris pitting his Sun’s position at 14 degrees of Virgo opposite Chiron. His brother Chérif Kouachi, born November 29 1982 in Paris puts his Sun at 6 degrees Sagittarius being squared by Pisces now, which means religious fanaticism and the other Hamyd Mourad, may have been born July 8 1996 or August 7 1996.
The world must unite to stop these Islamic Muslim Terrorists. It is another kind of fascism and may have nothing really to do with Islam, which is supposedly a religion of Peace. Any Muslim is somehow attached to these extremists because they belong to the same philosophy. I consider Religion a philosophy, it is wholly a man-made projection.
I have predicted this change of sentiment against Islamic Fundamentalists and an end to liberalism.
Legal actions, which is Saturn in Sagittarius, squaring Neptune in Pisces will be taken to create totally secular countries. All obvious religious apparel will be banned, therefore all Muslim women wearing hijabs and their husbands and families will be expelled from Europe, America and Canada over the next three years. It will be like the Spanish Inquisition again but to Muslims. In order to retain freedom for those who wish to live democratically these measure must occur. Canada keeps opening its borders to Syrian and Iraqi refugees which I believe is a grave and dangerous mistake. Borders will be locked in place. The old liberal age has to end. It was just a phase. Democracy can also be seen as just a phase at the rate things are going.
The irony is that depending on middle east oil to fuel our cars and industry has given them the wealth and power to be able to attack westerners. We must stop dealing with Saudi Arabia, OPEC, with all openly intolerant countries. China has a horrible human rights record to I might add.
The Muslim religion or any fundamentalist religions, orthodox Jews or Bible thumping Christians who are anti-abortion are all alike and are living in the dark ages. It is all about control,especially of women, ego, power, with religion as an excuse. Muslims are brainwashed into believing in Jihad since the Crusades in the 1200s. We cannot live alongside this philosophy, this way of living which threatens what the west has laboured so long to to create, democracy. Extremism is like a cancer, it must be isolated and stopped and contained. Much liberalism is over, with Saturn in Sagittarius. It doesn’t work for the needs of these times.
Uranus in Aries symbolizes new, open, non religious, non-sexist, non- racist, modern, hi -tech societies. We’re all on the same playing field together societies.The Uranus in Aries national Anthem is surely John Lennon’s song IMAGINE which was also trending on Twitter. No religion, no reason to kill.
Pluto in Capricorn can be seen as fascism. The world will look very different. Many will be screaming about rights for all. But to have freedom one must also have limits. White supremacists aren’t allowed to congregate and spread hatred. If the Muslim religion and its adherents are attached to this then legally they should also have their rights revoked. Yes not all of them are extremists but they do not do anything to stop this. At base they all bow to the same God, Mohammed. How will they be tested as to what their true intentions are? Saturn in Sagittarius is telling the truth. Neptune in Pisces is drugs. They may be used to subdue everyone.
We must let go of this ancient idea of religious differences power-over Patriarchal religions. I am against cold, inhuman, logical scientific world views as well.
Jupiter’s entry into Virgo opposing Neptune in late 2015-2016 will bring back a more earth loving, back to nature, pagan, Goddess oriented religion of the body. That is good, if we are to survive, the earth has to survive first and foremost.
We are at a critical place. As Pluto moves into Aquarius in 2023. We should be in that Aquarius all on one level playing field.
