Greetings. I was at the 1,000 Goddesses Gathering today in Washington D.C. and it felt awesomely powerful.
1,000 Goddess Gathering note the rainbow
The 1,000 Goddess Gathering originates from a story or myth that states: When 1,000 Tara’s, the Hindu/Tibetan Mother Goddess of compassion, gather together then the Divine Feminine will be anchored.This Gathering was to bring the thousand Tara’s or Compassionate one’s together to anchor the Divine Feminine to help heal the earth for all the children. We gathered in Washington and there were other satellite gatherings in San Cristobal de las Casas and other cities in the U.S. and in Canada so that all the Goddess energy was combined and amplified.
Mare Cromwell, author of The Great Mother Bible, received the vision to create this event before the election in the U.S. from Gaia, Mother Earth herself in July. Mare had received a vision that terrible cataclysms were coming to devastate the earth because the earth herself, Gaia’s four elements are way out of balance from pollution of the oceans, the air and the earth from fracking to remove oil. Native Americans who worship Mother Earth see oil as her blood. Another horrific vision of humanity’s future which mirrored Mare’s dire warning was from, Yeye Osun an African healer and visionary who was told to see the Tibetan Oracle for verification. She did and was told she needs to start balancing the four elemental mothers. Her vision was blessed by The Dalai Lama himself.
The Divine Feminine is the energy of compassion, Love, nurturing, and it lives within each one of us, women and men. We are all born from the wombs of our mothers. We must honor the mother principle.The Divine Feminine has been dishonored for thousands of years. We are on the verge of ecological doom from the greed of the patriarchal 1% corporations who have created this culture of oil dependency, consumerism, and the domination of women and who seek world domination precisely because they have split themselves off from the feminine.
The day consisted of much ceremony at the 4 elemental mothers. There was much singing by Pamela Gerrand and Ama Chandra, drumming, a wailing wall, healing, intention setting, chocolate, and a spiral dance to the Great Mother sculpture at the center and raising the energy to heal the earth and all the children.
It was amazing to be there. Mare is so grounded and YeYe invoked very powerful prayers for all the elements. There were men there as well acting as Sacred Guardians. The men were called into the circle to ask forgiveness of the Great Mother by YeYe’s husband who led the men to take vows to protect and defend the goddesses and to integrate the sacred feminine into their own beings.
The whole point is we need to transform the way we have been living is necessary. There are ancient prophecies about the Earth Mother needing to stop the destruction that some of her children are wreaking upon her. If we start to honor the Mother, honor Nature Honor the Divine Feminine we can hopefully but the four elements back into balance.
We are now under Scorpio energy. A time of letting go and dying to the old to create the new. Will write more about Scorpio soon. Am on the road back home again on Sunday.
It felt so peaceful and powerful in Washington. D.C. I hope you felt that energy. We sent it out to heal and renew the world.
There is live stream footage on Mare Cromwell’s page on FB
Monday bloody Monday. The Moon is in soft pastels, watery lagoons of creative, romantic, dream time as the Pisces Moon trines Sun in Cancer, and tickles Pluto in a sweet sextile
I’m flowing along with the tide wherever my imagination takes me. I never knwo what I am going to write most days. I can’t stop writing. Neptune is at the mid-point of my Sagittarius Sun and Moon. Do I write too much? then…
WHAM BAM THANK YOU MA’AM the SUN and PLUTO face off in the morning
The big corporate Plutocrats are facing off with the Cancerian country,home, feeling-led Greeks.
reigniting the Cardinal Cross energy from 2014- 2015 at 14+ degrees Cancer this of course is a near hit to the U.S. Sun. You may feel a lurch in your stomach.
After holidays may be a rude beginning in the world markets today what with Greece’s NO vote.
Neptune, the oceanic ruler of Pisces is also in an easy sextile to Pluto and in a Grand Trine to the Cancerian and U.S, SUN.
Neptune rules DEBT, illusion, things that aren’t real, fantasy, escapism, spirituality, the SOURCE.
Moon later conjuncts Chiron in Pisces because yes it will hurt.
Moon ends the day in an awkward quincunx to Jupiter in Leo in PDT and next morning in EDT.
there will be much ballyhoo and belly aching and big egos and heads rolling.
What to do: Ignore the fracas and ruckus and tune into your own Higher self, a good day to meditate and dream. Every Pisces Moon is a chance to step away from reality and the 3-D demands of work, and living in the material world, especially as the world will be fussing about the material things or lack of them. You stay centered and calm with the world raging around you. Be the symbol of the Chariot in the Tarot. Be creative as well, dance, paint, sing, chant Holy mantras.
Happy Birthday to His Holiness the Dalai Lama turning 80 today born in Tibet, may he live long. China overtook Tibet in the 1950’s and continues to smother and desecrate this sacred land and culture.
Happy Birthday to one of my art heroine’s Frida Kahlo born July 6 1907
The Love Embrace of the Universe 1949
Frida Kahlo the extraordinary artist had an extraordinary astrology chart too.
with her Sun conjunct Fixed Star Sirius and Neptune {and the U.S. Sun} at 13 degrees Cancer, the planet of artists, spirituality, and addictions close by, it was natural that she would rise to fame. Frida had her Moon at 29 degrees Taurus conjunct to ALGOL the Star considered to have the worst reputation and to bring evil. This is also conjunct to the Pleiades, the famed 7 weeping Sisters. With a Pluto Venus conjunction in Gemini, Frida was a creature of opposites, dual-natured, bi-sexual,oozing charm, attracting wealth, beauty, strength, and she was an amazing communicator. Jupiter and the North Node conjunct in Cancer -she was a huge soul, the Madre of the earth, who knew what her mission was. With an unusual Retrograde Mars and Uranus conjunct in Capricorn in the 5th house, Frida had enormous discipline, a hard work ethic, she was a fiercely independent woman who came to finish off her karma with men in her life and to change the traditional path for women. The 5th house is traditional the house of children, love affairs, and creative self-expression. She did that in spades, her bus accident- Mars/Uranus left her in pain her entire life with over 30 spinal operations and the inability to have children. Her artworks were her children and she treated her twice married husband Diego Rivera as her baby as shown in the painting. With Mercury in Leo Frida was a charismatic, beautiful and powerful woman and was a natural leader, strong-willed, big-hearted, dramatic, ruling like a Queen from her imagination {in the 12th house}. Saturn in Pisces made her a martyr, very creative, a loner, with great spiritual and imaginative depth. Frida was a Goddess. Her career has eclipsed that of her husband. She is an inspiration to all who see her works. I swear I wrote an article where I deciphered Frida and Diego’s charts and I can’t find it anywhere, Weird.
inspirational Card of the day
“The Devil” in the Tarot Garden of Niki de Saint Phalle, Capalbio, Italy 1990’s
“Better the devil you know than the one you don’t.” Is this what Greece is doing?
The Devil is about buying into the lie of the physical material world Greed, Temptation, Bondage.
The Mercury Messenger spacecraft smashing into Mercury is a perfect symbol that we need to take a break from too much yakkety yakking, constantly commenting, thinking, talking, in monkey mind 24/7. Give your head a break.
The UNIVERSE is always listening. Remember that. To comply with this symbolic request Mercury will turn Retrograde on May 18.
Mercury entered Gemini its home sign on April 30 and will stay in Gemini until July 8 because of the Retrograde. That is 70 days of Gemini, quite a bit longer than normal. We are being steeped in Gemini’s airy non-commitalness. We are needing to work on issues of DUALITY, relationships and balance. And remember Mercury the God is a hermaphrodite and what is one of the biggest news topics? Transgender. Bruce Jenner. As above, so below.
GEMINI is the LOVERS in the TAROT
The Lovers by Rene Magritte 1928
MERCURY IN GEMINI- Early MRA! MERCURY RETROGRADE ALERT!
Mercury enters its Shadow period May 4th { 4 degrees Gemini}
MERCURY TURNS RETROGRADE May 18 @ 13 degrees 9 minutes of Gemini
MERCURY TURNS DIRECT JUNE 11 @ 4 degrees 34 minutes
Mercury passes Retrograde point on June 27.
A GEMINI MERCURY RETROGRADE may be off the Richter scale as Mercury is in its home turf. Ergo all conversations, analysis, communications, all tech devices, satelites, GPS’s etc. may be running off-kilter during this time frame. The big question is: “will they come back?”
Do go back past GO, but DO finish off all communications issues, all conversations that were left unfinished may be picked back up like a loose stitch, any old writing projections can be reviewed
Review all those half-assed relationships. I want them, I don’t want them….
For all GEMINI peeps…..you are in the spotlight and being scrutinized for better or worse and may be grilled which will make you uncomfortable.
We will be doing a lot of thinking, regurgitating old ideas conversations and relationships. Gemini relationships tend to be those off and on, make up and break up ones.
Do spend Mercury Retrograde going over old notes, deciding what it is you do really want.
Do NOT buy new things which are ruled by Mercury- tech devices, cel phones, computers.
Mercury in Gemini rules airplanes and travel by air.
According to Rex Bills in the Relationship Book:
Gemini rules the Lungs, crystals, bicycles, gasoline stations, hounds, hay fever, Melbourne Australia, handwriting, London England, monkeys, the month of May, novelists, nerves, San Francisco, stock brokers, Tripoli Libya,
Be very cautious travelling during Mercury Retrogrades especially.
A MERCURY TIMETABLE to other planets
Mercury oppose Saturn May 3
get some serious plans made today.
May 9 -Mercury squares Neptune-
a dreamy imaginative creative day, reality isnt all that it may seem.
May 11- Mars enters GEMINI – more Gemini energy
May 27 -Mercury conjuncts Mars @ 10+ degrees GEMINI Retrograde
Some past wars, skirmishes, bad words etc may come back to haunt you.
May 29 Mercury squares Neptune in Pisces @ 9 + degrees
Old dreams, lovers, memories,conversations, may come back to be re-dreamed.
May 30 SUN CONJUNCTS MERCURY Rx
Illuminating both sides of the isssue and can be seen from a new perspective.
June 10 Mercury sextiles Venus before turning Direct
Mercury is at its most powerful now. There could be some deeper romantic conversations sparked. Also an opportunity to take back any words spoke in haste which hurt some else’s feelings.
June 11 Mercury turns Direct
June 23
Mercury squares Neptune Retrograde
this time the tables are reversed, Neptune is Retrograde and Mercury Direct but still not out of its own shadow. IN typical Gemini fashion there could be a reverse position in a relationship.

GEMINI is somewhere in your chart: circle where Mercury may make havoc in your brain and plan now.
A Hodge podge of articles of things, the flotsam and jetsam of the world aligning in my particular viewsight. Yes the energy is shifting, yoyu can feel it. We are heading for the forst of the Mayan Due dates shortly, Oct 28th 2011. No panic. It will all flow together.
You must Be the change you want to see in the world. You are the change. MC YOGI Gandhi Rap and no swearing. This is amazing.
The Big Apple supports peaceful protesters. This is the new Gandhi movement. In Astrology terms it is also the planet of revolution, URANUS in Aries the first sign, heralding the clarion call for real revolutionary change whilst squaring { I don;t care what the heck ya want to call it} Rebirthing Pluto in Capricorn.
The Revs have just started Revving
Really! You ain’t seen nothin’ yet. It’s not gonna go away. Uranus will fire up new revolutions, inventions, technology, and all aspects of life while in Aries till March 2019 and Pluto will be in Capricorn till November 2024. That’s a big Pizza Pie.
Steve Jobs left directions for many years to come. I predict the Apple car which runs on what else? Apple juice.
A birthing exhibitionista? Hardly. To educate, to take away fear. To simplify. 95% of all births DO Not need medical intervention in all cases. That means It’s a bIg business. Doctors hospitals, insurance, machines, drugs, etc. etc. None of which are usually necessary.
Love this story. If you really want to LIVE a 100% organic lifestyle and are thinking about having a child, are pregnant,if you ar a pagan, a spiritual seeker, purport to be a wholistic thinker, into women’s empowerment then please ladies give your child, your self,your partner and the world a huge gift. Empower yoruself, your child, your body. Have your baby as nature intended, all natural, no drugs, no machinery.
I am a big HOME BIRTH supporter, having had both my children at home with midwives. It’s safer than in any hospital to have a home birth.
At least get educated. Ask questions. Once you have empowered yourself and your child at birth, the rest of the questioning of all authoritarian power outside of yourself stuff, from the vaccinations, drugs, schooling,clothing, food, behaviours,your home, and lifestyle all of it will change as a natural result.
One of the next revolutions will be against medical treatment, drugs, doctors, the whole pharmaceutical hold on the world. The 2nd largest business in the world is Pharmaceutical drugs. Some are beneficial, many are not.
On that note. Western Women will change the world says Dali Lama
This is not new. Western Women the Feminist Baby Boomer Crones are at their spritual peak and they have and will continue to change the world from a place of love and compassion.
The end times of the old destructive, dualistic, egotistic power over authoritarian patriarchal rule is at an end. We know this, we see it in the financial sector world wide, in dictatorships topling.
Bettert to go with the flow. We have to change in order to survive aas a species. It’s time for a new Balance, the Divine Feminine, the Goddess, is back, and we will remember and pro-vision a new future with a holistic world view of balanced feminine and masculine energies, in Yin Yang mutual respect, without old rhetoric and false belief systems. Inclusive of all beliefs as One. This is how I interpret the “end of days” the Mayan Calender, the Ascension.
Angels all around us now
Yes I sense angels around me all the time now. If you quiet your mind, the awakened energy is here right now. It will grow stronger day by day.
Rid yourself of all that is not essential. Values are changing. Authenticity, transparency honesty is the new cash.
The new prayer is:
Please,take my heart, my mind, my imagination to those places of love beauty and light within and without, that I have never even imagined, in order to know my Self as Divine Light, Divine love, Divine beauty in order to BE that, here on earth, so that I mirror to you and to every part of this earth,Divine beauty, Love and Light Divine. So we may know this place as the Earthly Paradise.
A pretty packed weekend Oct 22 into Oct 25. That Full Moon falls at 9:37 pm EDT and then goes void of course- good for spiritual work, especially as we are blessed that His Holiness the Dalai Lama is in Toronto also Oct 22- 25, very special to have an Enlightened Being in the Big Smoke. Please watch Bodhisattva by Steely Dan
That Full Moon is at 29 degrees of Aries on Oct 22, the “critical degree.” All Full Moons are oppositions of Sun= Day Light consciousenss, ego and Moon, Feminine, Unconscious feeelings. In the Aries/ Libra -opposition its very much about Arian-me, I, fight,self, ego, ignition, force, firey, spirit,action, defenses, Mars ruled vs. Libran airy cool, need for relationships,others, balance, harmony Venus ruled artistic, go- between, indecision, Justice.
SUN ENTERS SCORPIO OCT 23
Happy SUN TIME to all you Scorpio’ s who always wear black. Hey I have a Scorpio Ascendant to. So I know all to well the intense, obsessive, wading in the depths, all the familiarity with the Unconscious, the dark, all the suppressed emotions, the intensity, etc. the wanting to feel everything, and live life to 200%. Its a roller coaster. Very soulfull, not so easy. Power, control, sex, all the big advertizing shtick these days! The world’s turned ad agency Scorpionic. Good time to throw out the garbage, fix the leaky plumbing, investigate penetrating secrets and other matters.
Election Day Oct 25 Toronto
I could only find Rob Ford’s birthdate and none at all about George Smitherman- he must be a Scorpio! cou;dn’t even get a year right for George.
The Moon enters Gemini @ 7:48 a.m. Mercury Gemini’s ruling planet makes a hot and heavy conjunction to Venus in Scorpio at 9:18 am. This is an interesting combination. Mercury rules the mind and communication and Venus the heart, but in Scorpio where she is considered weak because Scorpio is ruled by Mars, her opposite, and Mars is in his power place in Scoprio too. The conjunction shows a combo of head and groin action, more like the throbbing need for power, sex, control, the forbidden element.
Smitherman is gay, Rob Ford is a Gemini. That Gemini moon just makes 5 count ’em big QUINCUNX’s on election day. Quincunx’s are like bad romances, or like trying to communicate in a language you are totally in the dark about. The first quincunx is to the Sun= source, light, charisma. The 2nd to Pluto, Lord od death and Rebirth, 3rd to Asteroid ceres, Earth Goddess, she governs women; the 4th Moon quincunx is to Venus in Scorpio, @ 9:29 pm the Moon rules the people, Venus is women, so women will dump Rob Ford in typical Scorpio fashion, don;t need ya now, and the ability to vote from feelings will be blocked and inharmonious; and the last Quincunx is Moon to Mercury, since Mercury rules Gemini, by the end of Election Day @ 11:51 pm methinks Mr. Ford will be in a sorry state!
Rob Ford astrology election winner?
Rob Ford’s astrology chart with no exact time on May 28 1969 Toronto shows the Sun in Gemini at 7 degrees. Gemini is airy, chatty, all over the place, immature, Peter Pan complex. The Sun is conjunct Retrograde Mercury, Gemini’s ruling planet at 8 degrees. This combination puts the infamous Gemini split- personality duality into further treacherous zones as Mercury’s power is fizzled out by the Sun’s bright rays.
Can’t ever decide which side of the fence he is on, Mr. Rob is always waffling. Do you think this makes a good mayor?
Mercury is opposite Mars, which is also Retrograde. This further increases his natal opposition of thought and action. See Mars below-
Moon seems to be in Libra at 27 degrees so he can seem fair and ambassadorial and can be charming. Moon represents emotions, feelings, and detachment in airy Libra. A people who needs people kinda guy. Desperately wants to be liked, Lots of air here,{ hot?} also indicates indecisiveness.
Venus at 23 degrees of Aries, is brash, not inclined to beauty, a lover of war and spontaneous actions, easily gets in over his head. Venus is weak in Aries but all Arian planets are full of energy and drive. Not too charming, is opposite the Moon. Indicates a strong attachment to his mother, and needing emotional security. So acts to take care of others in a fair-minded manner. Emotional needs are met through money, luxury, knowing the right people.
Mars in Sagittarius also Retrograde, This guy has lots of karmic repeat lessons as indicated by so many Retrograde planets at his birth.. Retrograde Mars is repeating a lesson around power, abuse, being a warrior, aggression, issues with men, teachers, the law. Co-incidentally Rob Ford was the outlaw who killed Jesse James. This aspect also indicates difficulty in school, that higher education is not his forte to put it mildly. Someone who is unsophisticated, and crude by nature, a Centaur. Mars opposite to Mercury means – he may think he has the brains but its all brawn. Afraid to stretch his imagination or try anything new, has difficulty grasping a sense of higher idealism.
A bad teacher and leader.
Jupiter is in Virgo conjunct Pluto and Uranus. Jupiter is expansive, in Virgo it is usually a perfectionist, a nitpicker, a hard worker dedicated to serving others, but also himself. Big health problems with Jupiter in Virgo. Retrograde Uranus and Pluto huddle around Jupiter, three planets in a huddle are called a stellium. All their energies are intermingled and act inseparably as one entity. Jupiter conjunct Pluto is power, riches but can also be back room politics, unusually deceptive, deceitful, revengeful, revolutionary underpinnings, and a big bluffer.
Saturn represents the father, authority, maturity, corporate structure, seniority, hard work, karma, struggles, obstacles, career and worldly recognition. His father was in politics, Saturn in Taurus, well he looks very Taurean. Stocky, stubborn, salt of the earth kinda reg Joe guy. Sensual, fixed, stable, conservative. Pluto is trining his Saturn right now. This lends him power in his career now. It is an easy aspect.
Neptune is also Retrograde at 27 degrees of Scorpio. Neptune rules illusions, delusions, spirituality, dreams, working behind the scenes, mental health, compassion, alcoholism, and addictions. In Scorpio this cam be all smoke and mirrors. Posing as a compassionate person meanwhile digging the dirt, very deeply ruthlessly, someone with very addictive behaviours, untrustworthy. This is an old karmic pattern.
His North Node is at 27 degrees of Pisces. The North Node represents the highest spiritual goal. In Pisces, this is root for the underdog, be a chameleon, mutable, dreamy,
Idealistic, compassionate, martyr, works behind the scenes. If he plays his cards right in this life, he is getting close to finishing up some major karma.
Interestingly Jupiter and Uranus are on his North Node right now, so expect the Unexpected, Big changes but not necessarily stable at all. This helps him to grow and expands his higher goals. Jupiter and Uranus are opposite his natal Jupiter and Uranus in Virgo. So this is an opposition a rebalancing act for him. What he started 6, 12 and 24 years ago has come round half circle. The planets are also opposite his Pluto and his South Node too, which is at 27 degrees of Virgo and trining his Natal Neptune in Scorpio. Interestingly the transiting North Node will enter Sagittarius in early 2011 and transit the Galactic Center at 27 degrees of Sagittarius in March. He is aligned with this kind of evolutionary energy somehow.
Transiting Neptune and Chiron are squaring his natal Neptune- this is a classic. This is a mid life transit where the person being affected feels like al is rosy, and is set up for a huge fall! If Rob thinks he’s risen to the top and he sees the world through rose coloured glasses! Well better get a big cushion ready for your arse.
Pluto will be squaring his Natal Chiron in Aries at 6 degrees shortly. Chiron is the wounded healer. As Pluto rules the soul, you got be clean and transparent- he does use these words. Pluto is power riches control. This can give him the power to heal others and conversely get a huge kick in the teeth himself. Jupiter will transit his Chiron in the spring. That’s a big hurt. Oy what a headache! One way or the other.
Jupiter is intrepidly marching through Aries in 2011 hitting his Venus and onto Taurus where Rob will experience a Jupiter Saturn conjunction, which is an excellent transit. It happens only once every 12 years.
These are some very powerful transits he is having. When dealing with Uranian energy the outcome is erratic, it is all about re-inventing yourself.
I wish I had George Smitherman’s chart but I don’t. I don’t like Rob Ford myself. My pendulum said Rob would win, but then looking at the aspects for election day my sense is changing, he seems to slip behind and I predict there will be a huge unexpected support for Smitherman. It will be very tight and difficult for whoever wins to make much headway, as there will be always vociferous opposition. Remember the revolutionary energies begin in spring of 2011. Whoever is the most new, Uranian, different, humanitarian, truly innovative will be instep with the prevailing winds of change over the next 7 years.
HH the Dalai Lama is blessing Toronto on a Full Moon Oct 22- 25 with his Enlightened presence. The Full Moon happening at 29 degrees Aries/Libra. The beginning sign of Aries and Libra relationship, karma, balancing sign. Very fitting.
Sun enters Scorpio Oct 23 to bring Death, regeneration, rebirth, Transformation.
Mayoral Election happens Oct 25. I predict it will be very close race if not a tie and a split decision as Moon enters Gemini on election Day. Mercury, Gemini’s ruler, in Scorpio conjuncts Venus in the early am. A hot heavy intensely emotionally heated unscrupulous election day it will be! Who will be put to death? I wish I could find George Smitherman’s birth data but it is very vague can’t even define an exact year. Secretive. some Scorpio energy of his own there? Rob Ford who is being touted as leading by the conservatively held newspapers is a Gemini. It may be too close to call.
