Bram Stoker, Dracula author, V for Vampires,Venus in Libra

Well all day today Nov. 7 I though about writing about Venus in Libra..because Venus is in Libra now from October 28 – November 21

because I  was born with Venus in Libra so know very well how she operates

and I am thinking about ART because Venus in Libra rules artists! and I notice that my article on Artist Salvador Dali is always popular,

I also want to write about Frida Kahlo one of my favourite artists whose show is on now in Toronto at the Art Gallery of Ontario,

and my husband, artist Napoleon Brousseau is getting ready to have a new art show opening in a few days.

FIXED STAR REGULUS

I was also noting the Moon crossing Fixed Star Regulus NOW at ZERO degrees VIRGO

the Traditional Fixed Star of Royalty of KINGS and Queens left LEO after a 2,000 year stay and entered Virgo earlier this year in Western Tropical astrology for another 2,000 plus year stay! No small matter. A Fixed Star changing signs is HUGE!

which also very powerfully indicates to me the rise of the FEMININE as Virgo is a Feminine EARTH sign.

So our Leaders should be more DOWN to EARTH, practical, less Regal and above the crowd.

also note Prince William marrying a commoner who could one day be Queen.

Then I saw Bram Stoker, Dracula author being honored on Google search engine home page on the 165th Anniversary of his birth  today Nov. 8

Then I  decided to quickly check into the Vampire author’s astrology chart.

Yes yes I know all you Twilight fans are getting ready for the last and hopefully final installment of the modern take on Dracula/Vampires re-written by Stephanie Meyer.

I used midnight birth time for Bram Stoker, more Vampire  like.

Bram was born in Dublin, an ancient city known for its many a famous Irish Bards like James Joyce of Ulysses fame. U2 as well.

I had  a U2 song suddenly start playing in my head earlier in the evening, You know how these things work don’t you?

Stoker born with the Sun at exactly 15 degrees of Scorpio where it is the strongest. He was  also born on a NEW MOON, a dark moon,a scary Moon. As a Scorpio, a double Scorpio- with Sun and Moon conjunct he would naturally be attracted to the SCORPIO Dark  Side with all things forbidden, taboo, sex, death, power, lust, transformation.

The Gothic horror novel of which he wrote a few was originally published in 1897.

I was wondering why I was off topic from my intention when I saw that Bram also has VENUS in LIBRA.LOL. Well You gotta trust the Universe.

Venus is at 5 degrees Libra. Stoker also has the North Node at 9 degrees Libra conjunct Lillith at 12 degree. Lillith was known as a succubus, night hag, a monster who drank men’s semen in nocturnal dreams, who was blamed by the Patriarchy for doing her own thing, for being independent, for thinking for herself, for basically disobeying G*d. Perhaps Lillith was Stoker’s original idea for Dracula?

With the Midnight hour birth time what degree is Ascending?

Zero degrees of Virgo, which I thought about earlier today..Hmmm

The midnight chart puts Stoker’s SCORPIO Sun Moon exactly at the Bottom, on the IC, the Midnight of the chart itself.

Uranus right now is exactly opposing Stoker’s birth Venus.

So perhaps a Uranian surprise honor or a tie in to modern Twilight publicity.

The first film version of Dracula to make a big impression was the 1922 German Expressionist Horror film classic Nosferatu: a Symphony of Horror directed by F.W. Murnau. Names had to be changed from Dracula as the right to the original novel could not be obtained.

the original film VAMPIRE 1922

Played by Actor Max Schreck, pictured above from the film DRACULA there is also name destiny here. Something I firmly believe in.

The word Schreck is Yiddish, which is actually 15th Century German for FEAR or fright.

The name was also used as a title for the children’s book modernized as Shrek  published  in 1990 by William Steig  about a young  ogre who finds the ogre of his dreams when he leaves home to see the world. The book served as the basis for the popular Shrek film series over a decade after its publication.

I will get down to Art and venus in Libra next installment

Mental floss-Mercury and Uranus U-turn,HOT HOT astrology,mark your calendars!~ Tara Greene spiritual adviser

I can feel it starting already the proverbial Mercury Pre-retro mindf+ck  U know what to expect- the usual miscommunications, computer snafus and the like

Mercury rules GEMINI and VIRGO and the ordinary states of mind ,

 JUPITER & VENUS are presently rendezvousing  in the early mornings if you get up early you can see their beauty clearly.

 So Mercury going Retro July 14 –  Aug 8 will definitely exert that looking back in longing pull on the heart-strings from Venus and expansive Jupiter in AMBIGUOUS and already in twin states of double timing Gemini’s whilst caught in Mercury’s Retro Mental Floss net..

so think about that for a bit before it hits ya, don’t say I didn’t warn ya

URANUS precedes Mercury in RETROdom moving back on FRIDAY the 13th

R U SUPERSTITIOUS?

Uranus is the higher perspective, octave or calling of Mercury.

What this means is the HIGHER MIND and LOWER MIND are both going AWOL at the same time. Interesting isn’t it?

Uranus rules Aquarius and there isnt much action directly in the Aquarian sector these days, so we’ll breathe a sigh of relief there. Dont feel left out Aquarians…

BUT review, call backs, recalls, give it a rest, Relax, chill, reconsider, review, relent, recapitulate, do all the RE-things on the higher conscious and lower conscious levels. Uranus will move Retrograde for a much longer period- till DEC 13th!

Uranus rules Technology inventions,radicalism, revolutions, freedom, managements, collective thinking, as all that will be in the RE-zone for most of the rest of 2012.

Mercury Retrogrades feel better to me these days. Yes there is the practical things to not do like buy new things,

but Mercury is actually more powerful when Retro-it is slower and brighter and closer to the earth. It is in the more feminine receptive phase.

So renew yourself, relax, But get your travel plans done soon.

FEELING the HEAT? INTENSE PLANETARY ENERGY

I have been personally feeling so much anger being expelled in the world. Mars moving into Libra and conjuncting my Natal Mars at 2.59 of LIBRA n my 11th house was like being hit with a small bomb. I am super sensitive to energy and planetary fluctuations. It is good as long as no one is  injured in the fallout,

MARK THESE DATES on your calendar!!!

Mars moves into that EXACT SQUARE with PLUTO  JULY 17/18 and Uranus JULY 18/19

Heavily explosive situation!!!  Any countries, cities, people with NATAL planets at 7,8, or 9 degrees of ARIES born March 28-30 and CAPRICORN’s born Dec 29-31 and LIBRA’s Born September 30- Oct 2 get hit with this neutron bomb.

Here’s the list: ARIES COUNTRIES – Great Britain, Germany, Syria,Palestine, Israel

CAPRICORN COUNTRIES: Mexico, U.K. Afghanistan, India,Bosnia,

LIBRA COUNTRIES: Tibet, China, Japan, BUrma,

CANCER’s born June 29- July 1st-

Cancerian Countries: the U.S. Canada,  New Zealand, Holland  that group gets the T- square effect from 3 sides.

Get your fallout shelters ready now.   

 

This is an emotional action, soul level, freedom fight or die trying energy.

There are already news blackouts all over the regular news and on GOOGLE where there are 150,000 protester in Madrid, in Chile, in Mexico and more places which the media is blacking out. The revolution has definitely started and will increase in breadth and scope from here on in.

Google Yankee doodle Astrology of Dr. Robert Moog electronic music inventor by Tara Greene

May 23 2012 is the celebration of the 78th birthday of Doctor Robert Moog the inventor of electronic music with his new fangled electronic synthesizer patented in 1966 which was filed in October 1969.

It’s 43 years or a Uranus opposition to the time the Moog synthesizer was first patented.  

Dr. Moog worked with early electronic music pioneers John Cage, and Wendy Carlos  an American composer and electronic musician, whose recording in 1968, Switched-On Bach, music by J.S. Bach painstakingly assembled, phrase-by-phrase, on the Moog which was a new and unknown instrument. The album was awarded three Grammy Awards in 1969. He also worked with Rick Wakeman of YES,and  Keith Emmerson of Emmerson, Lake and Palmer fame amongst others.

 Lady GAGA and all of modern music would be nowhere without Dr. Robert‘s invention. 

Lets check out Dr. Moog’s Natal horoscope to see evidence or lack of his musical genius.

Born May 23  1934 in New York City I have no birth time so will use NOON time as birth always for a famous person.

All inventors are AQUARIUS types,

Dr. Moog has his NORTH NODE representing his highest spiritual goal at 13 degrees of Aquarius.

He also has SATURN, the builder, the architect, karma, the father principle, at 27 degrees of Aquarius  close to the position of the Fixed star

Fomalhaut aka Angel Gabriel- the one blowing the trumpet- music-the announcing angel. SATURN is the traditional ruler of AQUARIUS and so is very powerful. Dr. Moog is considered to be the chief builder and inventor of electronic music, the real founding father. That’s a perfect harmonious fit!

He had the Moon in Virgo it looks like on that day. Moon in Virgo people are very  focussed, analytical, perfectionist, practical, hard-working, detail oriented and doing the VIRGO thing of being of service to the world.

VENUS rules music. Venus is in what pioneering, forward thinking sign then? ARIES of course. VENUS in ARIES is the pioneer, the self motivated individual, the leader, the first, numero uno, chock up another one!

Venus rules the signs of  TAURUS and LIBRA

Dr. Robert had MARS in TAURUS –

TAURUS is the sign of  “I HAVE”.” As the first earth sign, it literally means I have my body, my hands, my senses, the resources, tools,money

 In a 2000 interview, Moog said “I’m an engineer. I see myself as a toolmaker and the musicians are my customers. They use my tools.”

So we see his MARS as  action principle, libido, drive, testosterone was ruled by VENUS and her love of music. It’s all about creativity.

Bob also had JUPITER planet of OPTIMISM, expansion, International connections,risk-takers, philanthropists,  leaders, in LIBRA

so VENUS rules JUPITER as well. Now Jupiter is Retrograde which means there is a karmic connection here.

I immediately thought that Dr. Moog was an ancient musician for many lifetimes, I say him wearing a Greek toga, playing a lyre and he worshipped Terpsichore the ancient GREEK GODDESS one of the nine MUSES of the Arts.

There is in fact an Asteroid named after Terpsichore and where is she in His natal Astrology chart?

At 28 degrees 49 minutes of VIRGO conjunct his MOON { his mother}.

Dr. Moog’s mom must have been playing music all the time when she was pregnant or sang. Or he had a very strong soulforce connection and new what his genius was. He was conscious since before birth I sense, of what Dr. James Hillman calls the Daemon,or Guardian Angel  which he wrote about in his best selling book THE SOUL’S CODE which I highly recommend.

Here’s the BEATLES singing Dr. Robert http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMHLrqKTOfA&feature=related

Dr. Moog had his SUN at 1 degree of Gemini, coincidentally close to the May 20th solar eclipse and MERCURY in GEMINI which is very strong in its home sign, plus Chiron at 4 and Asteroid Ceres conjunct the Sun. I bet Mr. Moog was a typical archetype genius but scatter-brained professor, very intelligent, very curious, very young, a great communicator.

NEPTUNE the “HIGHER OCTAVE” of VENUS is at 9 degrees of VIRGO, shows Mr. MOOG again as a symbol of a VENUSIAN, creative, diligent, hard-working, making NEPTUNE practical. NEPTUNE which rules spirit and all creative inspiration comes down to earth, is a useful time-saving VIRGO  tool.

Dr. Moog has URANUS the ruler of his North Node and SATURN at 29 degrees of ARIES,

indicating he was meant to be a very radical independent modern technology inventor, someone whose invention would bring freedom liberation, self-expression to. 29 degrees is also a critical or karmic degree,,,

He had PLUTO in CANCER conjunct LILLITH

in a square to Jupiter and VENUS and bringing in URANUS.

He must have had a lot of difficulty with women,or was attracted to very powerful women. I sense that the Moog synthesizer, the prototype of all modern electronic pop music, had this LILLITH driving energy coming through Moog’s Soul behind it. As if Lillith Herself instructed him from the unconscious or super conscience to create an instrument of radical freedom,modern liberation… exactly where would LADY GAGA be with Mr. Moog or Rhianna or any rapper?

Why did GOOGlE choose tohonor DR. MOOG’s birthday now? Well the planet MARS is exactly on his Natal NEPTUNE now at 9 degrees of VIRGO.

We hail you and thank you Dr. Robert MOOG for your new fangled in 1966 invention. You gave the world a great invention.

I’ll leave you with one of my faves of pop music YELLO -oooh yeah! with some good astrology symbols the moon the Sun! so beautiful OH YEAH!
