Seven to do’s because it’s Saturn Retrograde

It may take a while till we feel the effects of the Lunar eclipse. But there is a lot still happening.

The SUN conjoined MERCURY March 23 after the eclipse.

This sparks  new energy and new ideas. The eclipse was very close to the Zero degree ARIES world point. This is a true turning point. Ultimately new thinking caps and new bright ideas will emerge.

March 24  Mercury @ 5+ DEGREES ARIES trines Mars in Sagittarius @ 3:45 pm PDT/ 6:45 pm EDT

Under a void-of- course Moon. This is an upbeat pursuit of truth, adventure, travelling, optimism and justice. Be daring, be bold, be passionate. 

It’s GOOD FRIDAY March 25

The archetypal story of an anointed Higher consciousness being, called Yeshua or Jesus, knows he must die and sacrifice himself for a Higher Purpose, traditionally to the Great Mother, as a martyr to bring higher consciousness to the world. The story of death and rebirth is a terribly ancient one, since humans first became conscious. All life is a continuous unending cycle of birth death and transformation.  That is under Saturn’s realm.  Easter in the Bible was tied into the Jewish Festival of Passover which is based on a lunar calendar. Usually the two coincide but this year Passover is very late and begins April 22 on a Full Moon. 

The real meaning of EASTER or OESTRE is an ancient pagan fertility festival tied to Spring.

ISHTAR, ASTARTE , TARA, OESTRE ancient Goddesses of fertility were honored with symbols of hares, sacred to the Moon, the lunar monthly fertility counter, and rabbits which are very fertile. The symbols of eggs and rabbits were taken on as an overlay on ancient festivals by the Christians. Anyone who studied pagan symbolism can easily see this. 

SATURN TURNS RETROGRADE  March 25 @ 16+ SAGITTARIUS, 3:00 am PDT/ 6:00 am EDT/ 10:00 a.m. UT

LORD OF TIME STANDSTILL and begins to slowly turn the Karmic  wheel backwards. 

The GREAT WHEEL OF TIME BUDDHIST interpretation

WHAT’s IT ALL ABOUT?

We are going into DEJA VU time, as the Great wheel of time slows and appears to revolve backwards until August 14th where Saturn will be at 9 degrees 47 minutes of Sagittarius. Lets think back as to where we are headed in that future and where we were. Saturn was last at 9 degrees 47 minutes of Sagittarius on December 20, 2015, think back what you were doing and what you were planning for 2016.

SATURN in SAGITTARIUS is very optimistic, altruistic, honest to a fault, pursues justice, higher  philosophical perspectives, education and relating to exotic and foreign things, persons and travel. Saturn rules the Patriarchy, authority, the old boys network, history. In Sagittarius this is politics.  Expect a total change in the political run for president now over the next few months. Sagittarius reveals the truth. 

JUPITER’s square to  SATURN right now amplifies the more optimistic side and expands Saturn’s usually cynical bitter restricting influence on any sign. This  is positive and pressuring. As Saturn moves slowly backwards it is like going through a wormhole or time tunnel, we get to go back to the past to change the future. 

Saturn Retrograde gives us tine to mature,to work on things. It’s like the necessary time spent to let the dough rise, or setting a bottle of wine away. You cannot rush when something is ready. Use this time wisely to carefully craft your master plan, because all of Saturn’s energy has to do with long term goals, career, commitments, maturity and plans. 

Some commitments may break up now or at least must be reexamined. Honesty is truly the best currency now. 

We will have to go back to the drawing board where all ideas are conceived and nurture tweak and reset them in stone before they can really begin to be birthed next August. 

Saturn in the TAROT is THE DEVIL #15. Ultimately the DEVIL is the material plane. Temptation. EGO. It is ultimately not real. This can be a good time to revisit what your fears are. Are you being governed by your ego? What devils do you project onto others? This is a pretty hot topic now. 

SEVEN TO DO’s while SATURN IS RETROGRADE

1. Revisit all your goals for 2016.

This is important to do now as there are energy shifts coming in the fall. It’s OK to change your plans.

2. Scrap what you are not fully committed to

Only put your energy into long-term goals that you are really into for the long run. Its better to focus on one higher goal.Draw out what your peak looks like, why you want it and what you expect from it.

3. Re-commit your vows, in a relationship or in your career .

This is a good time to remake vows, personal and relationship. Second that emotion. Saturn rules career, redraw a career mandala or where you see yourself in 7, 14 years. 

4. Ask the advise of a mentor or more mature person’s experience. 

This is good to do now. You will be more open to hearing their advice. Also think about your retirement or any long-term distant goals and how to plan for it.

5. Finish up old legal, tax or educational courses. 

Saturn is the tax man, get any old unfinished business done. Immigration, wills or other legal matters of this sort should be finished over the next few months. Finish up the courses already.

6. Honor your father and any male person who helped you

Visit your dad, and honor him whether alive or dead for the karmic lessons he gave you. For some this may be good and for others painful. If there are old childhood wounds this is a good time to let that pain out. Inner child work is very important.  

Tell someone you respect a male teacher, how they helped impact your life It’s important to tell that person how he helped make a difference in your life. Call him, email or meet in person, or send an old-fashioned letter by mail. 

7. Learn to use your time more wisely.

Time is a very precious commodity and it goes faster these days. Manage it wisely.

Inspirational Card of the Day, THE FOOL of enlightenment

June 10 Card of the DAY –

MAJOR TRUMP ZERO /22

RUMI TAROT 

“Be foolish, that your heart may be at peace.”

OKay I missed a day of daily cards here I admit it,so I am the fool. I haven’t tried to fool you at all.

I think it’s better to make a fresh start. So what better way than turning up THE FOOL? YAY!

THE FOOL-the very first symbol in the TAROT  is Zero, the card has a name but really no number, he is naught,  eternity.

but also he is the ending as well, as #22 Major Trump.

The Fool is the Soul itself, childlike trust, innocence, always learning, seeking, curious, open.

The FOOL -Lives totally in the present moment, no past no future,

THE FOOL  is the embodiment and symbol of ENLIGHTENMENT itself,

no agendas, no conscious mind chatter, no ego,  nothing left to lose,everything to gain,

Has done everything already, so what’s to fear? Nothing, no fear.

THE FOOL is traditionally shown wearing a jester’s or  raggedy clothes, a young man with a little dog- the instincts- nipping at his heels,

carrying a small pack and a staff. sometime’s a flower. He is carefree. 

The Fool is the shadow of the KING. King’s used to employee jester’s to sit at the side of the throne. They are two sides of the same coin. The Fool is the real knowledge but in disguise, the King is the ego, and apparent control. The jester keeps the King’s ego in check. Power can come and go very quickly, better to be humble.

Being the Fool unbinds energy, instincts, the wisdom of the superconscious.

The FOOL is timelessness- stopping the world as Don Juan the Yaqui shaman who taught Carlos Castenada.

The Fool always symbolizes a brand new beginning, a new birth, a fresh start.

The first time one has a Tarot reading one is considered to be embodying or initiated by The FOOL. The Fool can unlock you from your own prison.

MEANING

All is new. Forget any agendas or shoulds. Trust your instincts, live moment to moment, Who cares what anyone else thinks? Be true to yourself,let go of the past. Drop your ego and see the miraculous world you are in. Laugh at yourself. Free yourself from your own prison. Opportunity is everywhere.Everything is creative energy, look at things in an entirely new way. Trust, have no fear. You are an eternal child. PLAY, have fun.

Pluto goes RETROGRADE April 10- Go to Hell and back, Astrology advice Tara Greene

 Pluto begins his annual 5 month journey back to his own home territory HELL or HADES as the Roman’s called it. Turning Retrograde at 9 degrees 34 minutes of Capricorn April 10 @ 9:21 am PDT/ 12:21 pm EDT  

The famous Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch, 1450-1516  painted the most hellish paintings of that terrible Hell hole, filled with Xtreme sinners, to terrify good Christians  into behaving piously. John Milton, famously stated that he would “rather reign in Hell, than serve in Heaven.” is more of the modern ilk. 

Hell is what we create, Heaven or Hell or a bit of both.  If  Heaven is on earth here and now then Hell is here and now as well. Pluto/ Hades is Lord of the Underworld. He is the King of the Dead. His world is the world of shades, of the shadow.

We can’t always stay in the Light, although New Agers claim you don’t have to own your own shadow, or spend too much time in the depression, loneliness, desperation, powerlessness, rage, etc. that is part of the bright energies shadow side. Your own shadow side  may be hidden from yourself, if you aren’t honest. Your shadow is what you project onto others, the people you can’t stand, the “others,” those who you are jealous of, resent, and compare yourself to.Your shadow is also parts of yourself that you can’t own, that perhaps you are beautiful and worthy of being loved and of having a happy enjoyable life. Your shadow side is also all the reasons why your life isn’t going so great because of all the  hexes, curses,black magic your childhood or other things you rely on in ignorance and as excuses for taking responsibility for your life. 

Owning your own shadow is a freeing thing. It is your ticket out of  hell.  But Hell, who was a Nordic Goddess by the way,originally called HEL, is also good. We learn from everything, we have to experience everything. That’s why we are here!  So enjoy your journey as Pluto takes you to his home base to show you around. The death aspect is revered by Tibetan Buddhist’s, the charnel ground, the cemetery, that’s where KALI lives, death is destruction of the EGO and all that we” know” and hold dear. 

You can’t be fully alive unless you are aware of Death. Use death as an ally.”It’s a good day to Die” is very potent Native American wisdom. Get rid of anything that isnt serving the new higher frequencies now, get rid of old emotional baggage, most of your stuff you dont need, etc. Make way for a new life. We are all going to have to Lose our religions and so much more over the next number of years. 

So do die a wee bit daily till Sept. 18th when Pluto turns direct at 6 degrees 57 minutes of CAPRICORN. 

To find out how PLUTO is affecting you, find out where Capricorn is in your  Natal chart.  That’s where the biggest endings, completions, deaths  on many levels not usually physical and LETTING  GO , transformation and rebirth are occurring. Pretty important stuff. 

The aspects Pluto makes to any other planets is also WHAT is being affected most for the next five months.
