Death, sex, transformation, Saturn returns to Scorpio

Saturn, lord of Karma, the real host of Reality re-enters Scorpio June 14, Flag day in the U.S.  The Sun in Gemini conjuncts and sets fire to Mars today too. Mars rules Scorpio traditionally and this will definitely feel intensely sexual, with angry outbursts of bravado and ego energy amping up our minds and Souls/Sol as we really confront that Scorpionic energy. Wherever Saturn goes that is where reality is and where we are being tested. 

All of our greatest fears and biggest deepest shadows are what we need to wade through during this period. This culture is terrified of death and ageing, traditional cultures honored the elderly and their dead ancestors. 

Saturn is Chronos, Father Time, the Lord of Karma, death and maturity. Pluto is Lord of Death, transformation, refuse, the unconscious, sexuality, power, control, secrets, obsession. These last three months of return to Hades realm, the underworld, Hell, the valley of the shades is huge. We are dealing with Two death-dealing and transformational very powerful planetary Gods. 

I know some people are terrified of this but I see it as a  huge last-ditch literal opportunity to re-immerse ourselves in deep shit shadow work. Saturn is leading us into the filth, rot, refuse, and trenches of Hades, Pluto’s realm again. We should be waving white “I surrender” flags.The underworld is our upper world. 

Everything which we project onto “others” as bad,unacceptable or fearful is our own unaccepted shadow material. To fundamentalist Christians it is everything that is not them- transgender, or gay people. To racists it is blacks, Hispanics, Muslims or Jews, “goyim” ; to vegans it is meat eaters.  We need to move through our own shadows and learn to accept them in order to become whole and balanced.  The shadow is fear itself, fear of the unknown, fear of death, fear of getting old of being alone.

Saturn will spend 3 months till September 17 in Scorpio just before the Shemitah year finishes September 14/15  Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year. 

Saturn will be moving at a snail’s pace in Retrograde motion back to 28+ degrees of Scorpio until August 1st/2nd when it turns Direct.  Saturn is lead, and so we will all be feeling Saturn’s heavy weight to everything we do.

We will be getting the first close contact with Pluto as the New Horizons spacecraft makes its closest fly-by ever on July 14. Pluto’s discover Clyde Tombaugh’s ashes are aboard the spacecraft a fitting tribute. The symbolism is also so synchronous.

Saturn devouring his son- Goya 1819-1823

Saturn only traverses any sign once every 28/29 years. Gotta do the work NOW.

Last time Saturn was in Scorpio was November 29, 1982 -May 6, 1983 and August 24, 1983- November 17, 1985 when AIDS was first discovered. They are having or have just had their FIRST SATURN RETURN. 

Previous Scorpio Saturn peeps were born October 1953-October 1956 and the third Saturn in Scorpio generation was born  between 1924-1926. 

Saturn is in mutual reception with Pluto again as they were for the last two years.

Saturn entered Scorpio Oct 5, 2012 -Dec 23 2014. 

Saturn symbolizes the father, any incest and all types of sexual abuse by males is one of the major shadows we need to face. Long buried memories from this life time or even past lives need to be rooted out.   Scorpio is deep emotions, any type of felt emotional abuse by anyone; a parent, teacher, authority figure, or stranger needs to be embraced, cried through and brought out into the Light. 

We need to also face up to the darkness of where we are being abused through power and control everywhere in the world by the media, governments, banks, religion,education, the medical establishments, politics, culturally and in our personal lives and where we ourselves abuse power. 

We need to fess up with our secrets, coming clean is healing. Obsessions, rage, control, OCD, our defenses, our projections and hates, that is all shadow material.

“We find that by opening the door to the shadow realm a little, and letting out various elements a few at a time, relating to them, finding use for them, negotiating, we can reduce being surprised by shadow sneak attacks and unexpected explosions.”
-Clarissa Pinkola Estes Women who run with the Wolves, 

If we howled our grief and fear together perhaps this would create a movement, and communities would howl one to another like wolves do and our howling would raise the buried dead parts of ourselves back to life,like the sounding of Gabriel’s trumpet. 

Depending on which house Saturn is Transiting and the aspects Saturn triggers as well in your  astrology chart that will give us major clues on what material you need to work through. Especially difficult will be Saturn transitting the 12th or 8th house.

“To confront a person with his shadow is to show him his own light. Once one has experienced a few times what it is like to stand judging between the opposites, one begins to understand what is meant by the self. Anyone who perceives his shadow and his light simultaneously sees himself from two sides and thus gets in the middle. ~ Carl Jung

I am creating a support group so that we can share our common fears, shadows and experiences. This transit affects everyone in the world.  I am waiting a bit till after Saturn re-enters Scorpio to start. This will be a weekly teleconference. we will use astrology, the tarot, dream work, and exercises to work through and do rituals and make art with our shadow parts.

If this calls to you please email me. I am figuring out a fee and the best time to schedule as there are people in various time zones. taragreenetarot@gmail.com

OBAMA re-election? Astrology prediction, women will be the deciding factor.

let’s look at OBAMA and ELECTION DAY.

It isn’t OBAMA’s fault that the economic conditions set into place by the loosening banking standards by President Clinton and allowed to run awry under Bush collapsed as he was elected.

Outsource all your jobs and how do you expect to have an economy? Corporate greed for profits is the villain.

America as a super power’s time is over. Get with it. Nations rise and fall. Learn how to deal with it and create a newer better America. Nothing lasts forever; only psychopaths think they can control everything that it is their divine right.

America is run by the secret government, the Federal Reserve, a private bank.

 Whoever is president at this point doesn’t really matter because they take orders from on high.

Yes 1984 came and went and set itself up through the media, banking system in politics, in laws.

The biggest danger in America is the National Defense Authorization Act bill, which was drafted and passed in secret and which takes away all American citizens democratic rights, and declares America itself a battlefield. It was passed in November of 2011. This is basically a fascist law, look it up.

OBAMA and the stars

 The Sun is close to President Obama’s Natal Neptune and square to President Obama’s Sun in the 9^th house of statesmanship and also widely square his Retrograde Jupiter in Aquarius in the 12^th. The SUN triggers that GRAND TRINE in his Natal chart with Venus in CANCER and Chiron in Pisces. GOOD STUFF

Saturn, the TAXMAN is approaching Obama’s Neptune giving him serious weight to his dream, but conversely can limit the natal squares to his Sun and Jupiter. Saturn is the reality check in SCORPIO where any nefarious money laundering, lies, secrets will be ousted. Neptune rules debt, illusory money like the way the Federal Reserve has been printing trillions of phony worthless dollars. Saturn is Capital C Conservatives.

 The MOON representing the mood of the populace is directly on Obama’s Mercury in LEO and the moon is approaching the President’s Sun during the day. As I believe there will be recalls I don’t think there will be a winner announced that day.

That rascally Retrograde Mercury is at 4 degrees Sagittarius right on the president Midheaven, his highest career peak and directly opposite Obama’s MOON in Gemini which is also being Squared by Neptune and Chiron. His communication rhetoric will be rethought because of the retrograde; Obama is usually an excellent speaker. Obama will truly have to speak with his Moon, appealing to women, security, home, nurturing, and security. He can speak in two ways as a Gemini.

President Obama is currently experiencing his CHIRON return this past year.

That is when the lets call it a comet CHIRON, returns to where it was when you were born. This is something that everyone experiences when they turn 50-51. One feels vulnerable, overly sensitive, on the defensive, tired. Just like the president seemed at that debate last week.

He is not in his fighting form or at his best at all. Most people aren’t, it is a time of great healing potentially as the old baggage of the past is put to rest. Life really begins at 50.

 CHIRON is also directly opposite President OBAMA’s PLUTO.

Now this can create enormous healing power, soul power. Pluto rules the Masses, the collective Unconscious, and Chiron conjunct his Natal Chiron and square to his Moon indicates that the PEOPLE and Obama will feel an empathetic sympathetic bond by feeling vulnerable, and the will to clean up- PLUTO in VIRGO, the damage to the environment, to create PLUTO new jobs, health care for the masses which maybe implemented in a draconic way still has good intentions.

The North Node the popularity point is at 26 degrees of Scorpio meaning it has X-RAY vision and it is just passing over OBAMA’s 10^th house of highest career and is square to his natal URANUS in Leo and his Natal North Node at 27 degrees LEO. This is good but with Uranian energy, who knows? Utter chaos and revolutionary breakouts are of the norm. Uranus energy is always about Freedom and OBAMA in spite of being the first black President is a freer more open more inclusive energy.

Saturn, the cosmic cop in his 9^th house of higher education is squaring OBAMA’s Mercury in Leo in his 6^th house of service and work. Saturn usually tests limits, creates obstacles. Saturn is also squaring Obama’s Retrograde Jupiter in Aquarius. Saturn and Jupiter are the best helpmeets so I feel that this one puts Obama squarely in his power.

ON ELECTION DAY

Venus in early LIBRA has just Squared Pluto

So the symbol is money, women, values, the arts is pushing at the Plutocracy in Capricorn asking for equality, fairness, and justice. Transiting Venus is in Obama’s 8^th house of “other people’s money” opposite Uranus at 5 degrees Aries so again there’s a huge level of expect the unexpected, chaos, upsetting the old order and R-E-V-O-L-U-T-I-O-N with women being on the barricades and the populace upset about the debt.

JUPITER Retro at the VENUS/SUN ECLIPSE point 14 degrees in GEMINI is opposite MARS @ 21 degrees Sagittarius which is exactly square to OBAMA’s Mars at 22 degrees VIRGO IN his 7^th house of others. I feel this is a very fortunate action packed aspect again because of that VENUS/Sun eclipse point means WOMEN’S votes will decide the election.

LILLITH is squaring his CHIRON conjunct CHIRON and opposite his PLUTO. This can prove to be a blessing, as OBAMA will again champion women’s rights to freedom and to express their power and regards to environmental protection and health security.

The May 20 Solar Eclipse at Zero degrees Gemini fell right on Obama’s Moon and on his Midheaven IC axis.

The November 13 Solar Eclipse falls at 21 degrees of SCORPIO. Which is square to Obama’s Aquarius Ascendant, conjunct his Midheaven and squares his natal URANUS and LILLITH.

 SUMMATION

Romney seems to be under more dynamic aspects. But I have seen Obama winning for along time. Actually the whole thing makes me feel quite depressed because the two of them aren’t that different. I feel whoever is President these days doesn’t matter much.

I can’t wait for the Uranus Pluto square to deepen. Jupiter will enter the fray in August 2013 making a close T-square.

I wish the whole system to fall apart, but those in control are going to attempt to tighten their grip. THE OCCUPY movement and the One Billion rising campaign and many not yet born will need to solidify fast. People have to wake up from their somnambulistic state and fast.

I can’t wait for the revolution to really gain momentum so all of the old dysfunctional systems can collapse.

ROMNEY if elected will support the rich, foot bind women, burn gays at the stake and uppity women. HE supports coal-ruining the environment, guns, fighting the HOLY war with IRAN- he is reverse jihadist. America’s economy is in a total melt down.  There will be no middle class what so ever. ANy jobs will be to make expensive things for the super wealthy because no one can afford the actual cost of producing in America.

if you aren’t MORMON you don’t cut it. Mormons wish to hasten JUDGEMENT DAY so they can speak in tongues and go up in the rapture to hang with JESUS. If Romney is elected you will be vaccinated to be a Mormon.

Sounds like a NEW AGE hell vision of a weird ASCENSION. This is what the new consciousness looks like?
