The Perseid’s Meteor showers peaked on the 12th and tonight on the 13th. Get out and make lots of wishes on falling stars.
A Grand Earth Trine has formed with the Virgo Moon Aug 12 Virgo Moon trines Uranus and Saturn as Mars re-enters Capricorn.
ON the 13th the Virgo Moon trine Pluto and Mars Retro at the 29th and critical degree of Capricorn.
Earthing walking barefoot is great for restoring balance. Walking on a beach on sand gives nature’s reflexology.
This is good dirt we need to ground ourselves after the weeks and months of Retrograde planets and a full eclipse season.
Mercury will turn Direct on the 18th/19th so this week will start to get more stable. Use this time to finish up what you have been working on for the last 3 months.

Did you have a lovely Beltane? I hope so. Double rainbows appeared here in Sedona, a very beautiful uplifting and positive sign. The Rainbow bridge is the sign from Heaven that your prayers are being answered.
Hi-Lights of the first week in MAY. A BIG GRAND EARTH TRINE WEEK
All Grand Earth Trines are alchemical and refer to THE GREAT WORK. We are there now.
Alchemy starts with the MATERIA PRIMA or First Matter. The earliest source of First Matter for alchemists was the black, fertile soil of the Nile Delta. The very word “alchemy” is Arabic ” al-khemia” meaning “from the black dirt” of the Nile. This is an auspicious New beginning. We are beginning to embody SOUL.
GRAND EARTH TRINE- The Great Work

with a New Moon in Taurus and Mother’s day
May 3
SUN TRINES JUPITER still RETRO @ 13 degrees TAURUS/VIRGO
The Sun is the Source and The Will. Jupiter is faith and trust and optimism and he is very strong as he plods slowly nearing the end of his retro journey since January 7th.
CAPRICORN’s or anyone with planets at the 11-15 degree range of EARTH SIGNS benefit.
The win-win combo of sensual practical beauty loving Taurus SUN and trusting optimistic go for it Jupiter- even Retro and in panicky, perfectionists, splicing and dicing, modest in Virgo garb is still GREAT.
Because Jupiter is still doing the Retro-dance plan now to release your ideas into the world at a later date when harmonious aspects again come up between the two.
May 4 SUN INCONJUNCTS SATURN in SAGITTARIUS @ 15+ degrees = Waving the red flag at a bull. @ 9:39 pm PDT
This aspect between the SOLAR BULL pulling the plow to fertilize the earth and Mr. Karmic Tester Saturn even in upbeat optimistic, multi-national, teaching, philosophy, laws, politics and humour oriented, easy-going Sagittarius proves to be difficult.
This bespeaks many a place where we will see it:
The Election in the U.S. of course; some stubborn International treaty or project being hampered by laws. Taurus SUN is stubborn and so is Saturn who digs his heels in trying to elevate things.
It is literally the warning sign in the stock markets for a Bull market stopping.
A good remedy is exercise, eating well and keeping your hide out of trouble.
Be careful of people being irritable, easily annoyed and obstinate.
MAY 5 CINCO DE MAYO The Sun Saturn inconjunct occurs @ 12:39 am EDT.
VENUS INCONJUNCTS MARS @ 6+ degrees TAURUS /SAGITTARIUS 7:10 am PDT/10:10 am EDT/2:10 pm GMT
Yikes this quincunx occurs exactly on my SAGE SUN @ 6+ degrees.
LOVERS QUARREL
The inner and outer masculine and Feminine will be feuding and fighting my friends.
Venus has the advantage as she is in her own sign. Enuf said.
NEW MOON MAY 6 at 16+ degrees TAURUS
will write about that one separately
MAy 7
SUN TRINES PLUTO in Capricorn @ 17+ degrees
This is excellent for all your earthers out there. This is basically a Grand Trine held over from the 3rd
The Sun is LIGHT and Life PLUTO is the DARK and DEATH. The Taurus Sun wants to revel in our earthly Garden of Eden, and revel we should. Pluto the Lord of Death, shows us that we must be aware of our shadows and our fears at every moment so that we can have more power by living and grounding our Souls to the earth. I read something by musician Elijah Ray on FB where he talked about always feeling alienated and wishing he could go home to his cosmic origins. Then realized he needed to bring “home” here to earth, that was why he embodied. I thought that was a beautiful story which really touched me deeply.
A friend died suddenly a few days ago and that is always a shock, another reminder of how we never know, moment to moment if we will be here or transcend and go elsewhere, leaving everything we had learned established and embodied behind in an instant. RIP Steve.
This aspect is very empowering. Bring your earthly gifts to bare against the shadow of death, which is not to be feared. It is merely another dimension of life.
MAy 8 is Mother’s Day
Honor your mother.
Gotta go, blessings to you all. Please share widely, all writing is copyright of Tara Greene.
GIVE A TAROT ASTROLOGY READING AS A MOTHERS DAY GIFT
An amazing tsunami of spiritual LOVE energy will be washing the world this weekend in a tidal wave of Love, healing and waking dreams.
Venus and Neptune, the planets of human love and Divine Love meet February 1st @ 6+ degrees Pisces with Venus exalted and Neptune in his own rulership in the last and most Divine sign. The two planets are also only 3 degrees away from ARCHANGEL GABRIEL, fixed star Fomalhaut, one of the Royal Stars of Persia indicating a Supreme Blessing available to all who partake in these energies.
Since Jan 19 when Mars conjunct Neptune and Venus was opposite Jupiter, we are experiencing a spiritually uplifting sequence of planetary alignments guaranteed to bewitch, bother and bewilder the world?
Pisces’ fathomless depths includes all aspects of life: the karma, the compassion, the forgiveness, the addictions, the self-undoing and the inner knowing. Pisces is solitary confinement and being totally connected to the All. It is endlessness and martyrdom. Pisces is everything and nothing. Pisces energy is the result of all of our experiences and travels through life. We return to the source where we were once nothing and everything.
This is Ascension energy. It can take us beyond duality and human limitations. But we must stay grounded as Pisces is also the cosmic smoke and mirrors show
You may be feeling overwhelmed as the psychic walls disappear. You need to stay very grounded. Eat nourishing carbohydrate rich foods. Comfort foods, meditate, stay centered.
MEDITATION
It’s very important to meditate on the highest aspects of these planets. Ask to download your higher mission. Do breathing meditations which connect your breath down your spine through the bottoms of your feet into the earth first. Then send the mother earth energy back up through the soles of your feet and up your spine and out to the Divine energies.
Practice EARTHING or walking barefoot if you can outdoors or in your house. Breathe through the soles of your feet which Pisces rules. Connect the sole to your soul when your feet are touching the ground.
Venus squares Saturn on Jan 30.
Which is a reality test of love’s truth. Your self-worth is on the agenda today. Look at what your work, struggles and your sacrifices have created. Is this the dream, career,relationship or direction you want to keep building or not? Saturn urges us to focus on our long-term goals. These energies may mean a vision quest or shamanic journey is necessary to broader your outlook and open to new possibilities.
Mars is also in Pisces. Venus’s earthly partner sextiles Pluto Jan 30
There is deep structural masculine soul work being excavated. The Masculine can surrender to being baptized in the Goddess’s unconditional, spiritual, sexual and spiritual fluids to be cleansed. see next aspect.
Jan 31 Mars conjuncts Chiron in Pisces
This is soul sacrifice. Are you ready guys?
The hanged Man in the Tarot.
Paris Eadwine Psalter Jesus/ Hanged Man
This indicates a divine reversal of Patriarchal masculine energy. If the Patriarchy surrenders its’ ego we will all be uplifted, absolved, reborn. Release old limitations in your psyche which have held you back from expressing and living from your Higher Self.
Moon enters Cancer late Friday evening PST.
We will be awash in a Grand Water trine of Moon to Neptune and Venus in the day
Yes early degrees of Scorpio;s can wash away their sins in this pure blessing.
February 1st is Pagan festival day for BRIGID, GODDESS OF FIRE
It is fire and water blessing. Time for women to remember themselves as sacred Priestesses.
Moon in Cancer also brings another cardinal cross square dance at night.
The Moon trines Chiron and Mars in Pisces.
The Moon is every woman,The great Mother herself. She symbolically cleanses and purifies us in her holy womb waters of all misappropriated energy. Men want to be loved unconditionally as all women do. These powerful transformative symbols are so strong now.
It is like a sacrament. We need to eat, swallow, partake in the Mystery itself by opening our hearts, and our spirits. We have never been separated from the Divine, from God/Goddess, source. We are actually never born and never die.
DETOX-Pisces rules addictions
As Psychologist Carl Jung pointed out, Alcoholism is the thirst for the literal God, Spirit. All addictions stem from feeling separated from Source. Trust spirit loves you unconditionally.
This is a super creative, inspirational energy
For all artists, musicians or cooks, however you wish to apply your creativity.
If you have planets at 4-8 degrees MUTABLE signs – Pisces, Gemini, Virgo and Sagittarius you will be in synch with the energy the most.
I have my North Node at 5 degrees Pisces .I know the spiritual potential is incredibly healing. Visualize your highest vision of world peace, human acceptance of all others, imagine going beyond all religious separations and ego limitations. Be Heavenly.
Surrender your ego, nothing is real but love and creativity.
Introduced by a Serious SUN SATURN opposition- a once a year event on May 10. Saturn is RETROGRADE 20 degrees Taurus/Scorpio.
If your birthday is today- HAPPY BIRTHDAY BONO of U2, my friend Sissel in Norway another friend Steve in Toronto etc. or NOVEMBER 13 SCORPIO’s
You will have on helluva serious karmic turning point this year. Whatever you started 7, 14, 21, 28 years ago has run its course.
MAY 11 MOTHERS’ day
LIBRA mOOn trines Mercury in GEMINI in the wee hours EDT for some nice info filled dreams.
Weird dreams, you know those naked dreams where you are embarrassed literally, bare assed- as Moon quincunx’s Neptune in PISCES also middle of the night.
VENUS opposes MARS at 5:27 am at 9 degrees+ ARIES/ LIBRA
card of the day
VENUS MARS AND CUPID oil painting BY REUBENS
VENUS is in MARS bunker and MARS is in VENUS beautiful luxury digs, they are house swapping in mutual reception.
This is great- wearing each other’s shoes= stiletto’s vs combat boots.
If I were a boy- you know that BEYONCE song? Men in high heels.
What with the outrage of the BOKO HARUM stealing young girls and threatening to sell them as sex slaves,
we can clearly see how broken and out of balance the masculine/feminine relationship, the SACRED MARRIAGE BASKET really is.
this is a NATIVE American concept- symbolizing the wholeness of a sacred relationship between woman and man.
VENUS is CANOODLING with/conjunct the FIXED STAR ALGENIB at 9 degrees ARIES in the constellation of PEGASUS.
Indicates a generous, proud, quick tempered, bad morals, evil habit woman an AMAZON WARRIORESS.
WOMEN must put on their warrioress armour and fight for their rights, to defend the MOTHER our earth and their children and all the mainly lost feminine values NOW..IT IS TIME. THE GODDESS IS ALIVE, the women remember.
MARS is conjunct the very INfamous STAR VINDEMIATRX- “she of the grape harvest” in the Sidereal constellation of VIRGO. 9 degrees LIBRA tropical. KNOWN AS THE WIDOW MAKER-
it is considered one of the darkest most evil stars. But it also has a more positive nature known as “THE ONE SENT FORTH” as in a apostle. The star in a natal chart frequently marks the death of one’s partner.
It figures strongly and regularly in deaths which are in some way dramatic, newsworthy or are resented in much more than the usual degree by those left behind (assassinations, common criminal murders, executions, airline disasters etc.).
It is very literal. Women are not afraid of being widows anymore. Each woman must be her own Champion.
With VENUS MARS poised in the KARMIC balance we must truly be able to recognize that we must have equality between the sexes to survive. In the old days from the beginning of time, up until only 5,000 years ago, the GODDESS was considered the basis of everything that existed. PAGAN’s still value the Goddess’s energy of love, nurturing, compassion, creation as central. She has a consort who devotes himself to protecting her and her values. He is her lover and is temporary. That is his place, he relates from his heart and reveres nature. He has his own strengths sexual, power, building, protecting which is honoured as well. They mutually respect each others roles. We need to bring back this natural balance. MOTHER MARY is the Christian version of the Goddess, Kwan Yin in China, Durga, Shakti, or Tara, the goddess has thousands of names. EARTHING, natural birthing, women’s rights we need to embrace the Goddess within every one.
MOON conjuncts MARS and kicks off the GRAND CARDINAL CROSS on MOTHER’S DAY
further energizing the karma for the MALE MISTREATMENT of women, the earth and Moon opposes VENUS in ARIES.
KARMIC JUSTICE is at hand.
Time to bow down and ask for forgiveness from the Great GODDESS MAAT who weights the hearts of the deceased against her white feather. Many modern men are getting it. Canadian former lawyer, and writer Jeff Brown has written an apology to the DIVINE feminine which garnered him instant fame. I have clients who want to give their wives freedom in their relationships to be who they are and who do not see their wives as their property, chattel or own them. This is good. Some might think this is Crazy but the natural ways are only crazy from our totally insane modern societies of destruction, corruption, consumption, lies, ignorance,death and greed worship.
MOTHER EARTH WILL BRING KARMIC JUSTICE
Farley Mowat just passed away. The Candian naturalist, had always written about respecting the wild. MOTHER NATURE is more powerful than any man made machine HAARP, chemtrails etc. WOE to those men who indulge in soul gutting pornography, denigrate women, sexually, emotionally, physically, spiritually, intellectually and those who rape and pillage mother earth’s resoures for oil, gas, gold, etc. without respect for her or for her creatures, the whales, wolves, bees and the sacred earth like Monsanto, BIG PHARMA etc. and all those men and women who support those causes, finance them in the stock markets etc.
It is already happening. Call it global warming, mother earth is a living spirit and she is mad as hell, as the Goddess mother has a right to be at her recalcitrant children. It’s tough love time kiddoes. We will be shaken and stirred like a martini.
MERCURY in GEMINI SQUARES NEPTUNE IN PISCESstill early a.m.
Trying to decide where to go with MOM? Things may be confusing, with much arguing back and forth. Write Mom a beautiful spiritual poem from your heart. She’ll love it. Get outa your head and into your heart and soul and worship the ground your mother walks on.
GRAND CARDINAL MOTHER’S DAY
Moon squares PLUTO, opposes URANUS squares JUPITER – you know this dance routine already don’t you?
GRAND CARDINAL GRUMPY –
Who has the power? the old order is being overturned, justice must prevail, truth and balance for all.
MOON QUINCUNX CHIRON IN PISCES
and for some people this will be entirely over their heads. MOON in Libra keeps everything diplomatic and appearing NICE. What will the neighbours think? Relies on appearances with no weight. All fluff, style and insecurity. Many moms, relationships, will be hurt by not being heard, felt, held at the deepest core of their souls.
REALLY folks – the messages I am getting loud and clear is there is no more time left.
if you can be in the moment fully then forget it. Be, live from you soul’s truth, from your depths, be real, honest. There is nothing to fear, honor the feminine, within yourself, your deepest feelings. Yes there is much hurt and wounding. see past it.
VENUS/MARS opposition is getting to our ONENESS.
LIBRA energy is about lauding beauty and LOVE as the greatest causes.

PISCES IS OCEANIC and water, emotions sensitivity is heightened. It is a great time for all artists and creativity.
You may feel ungrounded, as if in a fog. Dreams are heightened and it makes sensitives Ultra sensitive. You will feel more compassionate, cry at the drop of a hat and want to help all the underdogs. A general emotional overload from people becoming huge psychic sponges. It can feel very disconcerting if you don’t know that that is what is happened.
Pisces rules HOLLYWOOD, and the Academy Awards which are always held at Pisces time. Pisces rules photography, film, images, illusion, glamour projection literal and psychological. Also rules religions, Gurus. ashrams.
Pisces ruling planet is Neptune now very strong in its own sign. Ancient ruler is Jupiter.
So I offer you a very simple list of TO DO’s to imbibe the Pisces spirit
This is most important. Psychic safety must be practiced. Like having safe sex you must create and wear a psychic circle of protection daily. Just visualize or intend a circle of ultra violet fire/light around you. Always move clockwise. You can call in St. Germaine or any Higher Master Teacher Guardian Angel to protect you. Yes there are many negative entities and energies out there. If you are wounded and vulnerable they can attack you via other people. You gotta have psychic armour.
2. WORK WITH YOUR DREAMS
Incubate dreams, meditate on remembering dreams before you sleep, keep a dream journal. The intention alone will help you remember. Work on day dreams, fantasies as clues for what you really desire. Don’t get lost in fantasy though.
3. MEDITATE DAILY
If you’ve never done it before. It is not so easy to get to quiet the ego/mind’s chatter. Start a 30 day practice, Keep it short and simple. Just watch your breathing, it will benefit you greatly. Watch everything that arises with detachment. You can use guided meditation Cd’s. Soft music.
4. CREATE
Even if you have never down this before, sing, dance, get clay, paint or do collages. Do karaoke, plink on a guitar, write a poem. Go to art shows, museums, classical concerts and art films.
5. PRAY
Practice prayer. Get on your knees and pray to whatever your Higher Spirit is. Jesus, God, the Goddess, Qwan Yin, your Guardian Angels. It is healing. Pray for your own redemption.
6. Do CHARITY WORK
Volunteer at a Food Bank once a week, give money or time to help a women’s shelter, support animal rights, donate money, sign petitions..
7. FORGIVE WORK for OTHERS AND YOURSELF
Pisces is the most forgiving time. Forgive yourself and others releasing blocked energy. If you really forgive someone it will never come back. But you also need to forgive yourself for past mistakes, regrets and transgressions. These were all lessons you choose to learn and to grow from.
8. GIVE UP AN ADDICTION
Whatever your addiction, booze, drugs, meds, sugar, porn, TV, gossip, anger, workaholic, health fanatic. OWN it admit it, get into the healing of it for your soul’s sake and those around you who are being hurt by your pain. Some addictions looks healthy but are avoidance mechanisms.
9. WATER
Pisces is a water sign and our water is scarce, prescious, polluted. Educate yourself. Conserve it. Lobby to preserve your human right to have access to water. Meditate and send love to the oceans as Dr. Emotto’s studes show. Drink lots of it but not bottled. It is mere ordinary water in a plastic bottle which pollutes more.
10. HAVE FAITH
Yes even if the world seems to be going to hell in a Cardinal cross hand basket. Have Faith. All of our lives are a test of faith.
P.S. LOVE YOUR FEET
Pisces rules the feet. Get a Reflexology treatment. All the acupuncture spots are on your feet. Go Barefoot, Earthing.
It is very important to also get grounded while in Pisces. My friend Sue Kenney, a writer whose book is My Camino, has designed the world’s first footless shoes.
