Artist”s impression of the black holes studied by the astronomers, using ULTRACAM attached to ESO’s Very Large Telescope. The systems — designated Swift J1753.5-0127 and GX 339-4 — each contain a black hole and a normal star separated by a few million kilometres. That’s less than 10 percent of the distance between Mercury and our Sun. Because the two objects are so close to each other, a stream of matter spills from the normal star toward the black hole and forms a disc of hot gas around it. As matter collides in this so-called accretion disc, it heats up to millions of degrees. Near the black hole, intense magnetic fields in the disc accelerate some of this hot gas into tight jets that flow in opposite directions away from the black hole. The orbital period of Swift J1753.5-0127 — just 3.2 hours — is the fastest found for a black hole. The orbital period of GX 339-4, by contrast, is about 1.7 days. Credit: ESO/L. Calçada
A stellar-mass black hole in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a neighbor galaxy to our own, has been found by a team of international experts, renowned for debunking several black hole discoveries. “For the first time, our team got together to report on a black hole discovery, instead of rejecting one,” says project leader Tomer Shenar. Furthermore, they discovered that the star that gave rise to the black hole vanished with no trace of a massive explosion. Six years of observations with the European Southern Observatory’s (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT) resulted in the finding.
Despite the nickname ‘black hole police’, the team actively encourages scrutiny, and hopes that their work, published today (July 18, 2022) in Nature Astronomy, will enable the discovery of other stellar-mass black holes orbiting massive stars, thousands of which are predicted to exist in Milky Way and in the Magellanic Clouds.“
o.K. I admit it. I’ve been up all nite again writing. What with Uranus planet of higher thinking that’s been sitting squaring my Mercury at 27 degrees of Sagittarius for months now. and besides time is now moving 20 times faster so .you know how fast it’s going.
Now its the North Node perched on my Mercury wouldn’t ya know it right at the Dec 21 2012 end date on the GALACTIC Center
Neptune is singing his tunes right on my I.C. which is Astrologeese for my most private parts of my chart. Dreams, inspired, spiritual, creative, imaginative. I don;t do any drugs or drink so no addictions here except for this one writing late at night. THus explaining any spelling errors or reversed astrology points I may have missed.
Got an inspired inspiration to go into the Future and predict what the TAURUS New MOOn will look like and illustrate it through a video:
Please note: Neptune enters PISCES on April 4 a huge new cycle
Neptune inPisces will thoroughly change all religions. All those Light Workers may be correct. We may go into other dimensions completely now. My basic one size fits all prediction is that Everyone will become telepathic. If you need some lessons on how that will feel an dhow to cope with it. Ask me, Ive been comfy with it this entire existence.
the Anniversary of Martin Luther King’s assassination:
Do you think I-tunes will change its name in honor of Neptune planet of music inspiration art?
The TAurus new mon shows Uranus Venus Mercury Jupiter and MArs all in Aries with Venus Mercury opposite Saturn in Libra.
Super FULL MOON = Super Werewolf and She Wolf howlin’ times – aooh, aooh
The term SUPER MOON has come up in the public media lately as a way of explaining the catastrophic earthquake in Japan. Super Moons was coined by Astrologer Richard Nolle to describe the moon when the Moon is closest to the earth apogee, and szygy, love that name, in line with the Sun and Earth it happens regularly not once in a Blue Moon, Super Moons happen 5 or 6 times a year.
So this the 2nd Super Moon of 2011 happens on a Full MOON and next month as well on April 18th. The other 3 happen on New Moons Sept 27, Oct 26 and then the Only Eclipse SUPER moon on Nov. 25 a partial Eclipse. Next SUPER MOON isn’t until April 6, 2012.
But this one will appear very big, the biggest in 19 + years {a lunar cycle} Moon will be only only 221,556 miles away.
With the SUPER FULL Moon so close @ the critical degree
Werewolf and She wolf times are Howlinginly Super Powerfull
and werewolves of London and everywhere else
click on chart of the Super Moon below to enlarge:
SUper Moon largest in 19 years
The Moon is Full at 11:10 am PDT /2:10 pm EDT/ 6:10 pm GMY
at 28 degrees 47 mins of VIRGO sign of ecology, health, service to others, organization, perfection, accountability, order.
The SUN is opposite of course at 28 degrees 47 mins of PISCES, the last sign in the Zodiac cycle.
We round off the degrees so the 29 th degree of any sign indicates that we must “GET IT” get all the energy of the entire previous 29 degrees before we move on to a new cycle. It is the integration crunch. We’re cramming for our finals.
Virgo is an Earth sign, practical, hard working, down to earth and very analytical as it is ruled by Mercury. Pisces is ocean is water, bliss, spirituality, dreams, intuition, illusions, delusions, addictions, fantasy and escapism. Pisces is metaphysical reality, intangible, the 6th sense. Virgo is body, Pisces is SOUL and spirit.
So we are split consciously the Sun represents the daylight masculine turning its light on the Unconscious, and our feelings instincts moods, symbolized by the Moon is all embodied and analysis.
It’s like the Beatles Album Revolver, The 1st and the last songs on the album
The Moon is more like TAXMAN as Virgo’s make perfect Accountants.
The SUN is symbolized by TOMORROW NEVER KNOWS by John Lennon the last song.
The Moon being so close to the Earth means if its clear where you are you’ll see a huge Fume Moon rising in the EAST, 20-30% bigger than normal. Full Moons affect the tides, our emotions and this one should a huge pull and yearning that will be very palpable.
The SUN AND MOON square exactly he North and South Nodes of the Moon. This creates what is called a Mutable Grand Cross. Which is also SUPER Meaningful.
The North Node representing our highest spiritual goal is EXACTLY aligned with the GALCTIC CENTER at 27 degrees + change of SAGITTARIUS.
The South Node always exactly opposite lies at 27 degrees and change of Gemini on the NORTH STAR or POLARIS the star, which guided sailors through the night for hundreds of years. Polaris is found on the state flag of Alaska, Polaris is in the Little Bear.
Soo which way are we heading, back into the past the Gemini split twins of consciousness or the GALACTIC CENTER which is the birthing place and centre of our galaxy. We are all in this show together. The Galactic Center so prominent in the Mayan calendar interpretations, a gigantic black hole which sucks in all matter and light transmits cp;;asol amount s of gamma, x-rays, ultraviolet rays that affect the electro-magnetic fields of everything in our galaxy, not just little old us.
This extra powerful Moon points it out in spades. We must collectively decide with our souls and minds. The very powerful earthquake in Japan and the fear of nuclear meltdown has pointed out how frail we are compared to eh larger forces of Nature on our planet. What happens in Japan affects everyone else.
NEPTUNE ruler of Pisces also at 29 degrees of Aquarius is conjunct Asteroid CERES who symbolizes Mother Nature herself, the Great MOM.
Ceres is the Roman name for Greek Goddess Demeter.
Mother Nature/Ceres nurtures you and feeds you every day if you eat grains of any kind or type, CEREals, like bagels, wheat, quinoa, spelt, oats, and rice.
Roll that fact around in your mouth for a while and chew on tit for a bit till you can swallow and get the full flavourful meaning.
YUM YUM. MY tummy feels good when its’ full! Thanks Mom.
CERES conjunction with Neptune indicates how much our spirits and souls, our dreams, our unconscious feelings are tied in to HER. The 29th degree of Aquarius is about technological invention, the Internet, pioneering, collaboration, humanitarian values, getting the whole picture, being on the cutting edge of new revolutionary ideas.
The 29th degree is a Critical degree and opposite Fixed Star Regulus at 29 degrees of Leo- the Lion’s Heart. Also known as the Archangel Raphael’s X marking spot in Heaven.
Saturn is Retro at 15 degrees of Libra opposite Jupiter ar as degrees of Aries, which is conjunct Mercury at 16 of Aries. We are in the big, excessive {Jupiter} Karmic {Saturn} balance right now.
Mars in Pisces closely opposes Asteroid JUNO at 19 degrees of Virgo. Juno is the female version of Genius. She represents the partnering model. Oppositions are meant to bring balance. Mars in Pisces is an end, spiritual. We must move into a co-creating role to help re-balance the earth.
This is a critical critical critical VIRGO SUPER FULL MOON One day before the Spring Equinox. This is a repeat echo of the Lunar Eclipse I day before Winter Solstice.
The Sabian Symbols are very apropos: for the Sun at 29 degrees of Pisces is: “Light breaking into many colours as it passes through a prism.” For the Moon at 29 degrees of Virgo: “A seeker after occult knowledge is reading an ancient scroll which illumines his mind..”
Remember that we are already enlightened: we just have to remember our past and our futures: Pay attention to your dreams at this time.
MArch 20 is Spring Equinox the beginning of a new cycle of life
NEW MOON in PISCES MARCH 4 @ 3:47 pm EST/ 8:47 pm GMT
MIDWIFING THE NEW CYCLES on this NEW MOON
Well we’re at the end of a long {84 year} cycle and journey. In Pisces, the last of the signs the most spiritual, we return to the ocean of Oneness from which everything began. We are mere weeks from Spring’s re-birth and a whole lot of other new births as well.
This is a very PREGNANT HEAVILY PISCEAN MOON.
Along with Sun and Moon at 13 degrees, we have Mercury at 20 degrees. MARS at 7 degrees passes through a sign only once every two years! So from Feb 22 – April 1 Mars energizes the spiritual warrior.
CHIRON the wounded healer is at 1 degree of Pisces.
Chiron recently re-entered Pisces Feb 8, after dipping into Pisces from April 19 {the day of the BP deep-water oilrig explosion}- July 20 2010.
CHIRON WILL BE TRAVELLING THROUGH PISCES UNTIL 2018
So we should start to get familiar with the healing vulnerability and sensitivity that Chiron brings to our very Souls’. Chiron in Pisces is a huge oceanic soul/ universe healing. Chiron in Pisces will bring the reclamation of everything, all of life as Sacred as wholly immanent. A far cry from the duality, and separation that has plagued humanity since the separation between humans and nature since the beginning of the Patriarchy, the Old Testament. Chiron in Pisces will break down and through any barriers, enabling us to feel our connection to each other as never before. It will hurt in the beginning. Better clean up your act now, because there will be no more lying, cheating, double talking. In other words everyone will have the SIGHT, the Feeling, the sensitivity, the awareness.
EVERYONE will hear everyone else’s thoughts. Telepathy will be faster than the Net, more connected than FB, become much more accepted. Many far righters will label it the devil’s work.
GET GROUNDED now for the barriers between individuals is thinning out as the walls of the birth canal thins in prep for the baby’s birth. This is the birth of the ONE.
I will outline Chiron’s affect for each sign in another complete article.
URANUS planet of Revolution has been in Pisces since 2003 {except for a brief prequel into Aries last year from May 27- Aug. 13, 2010.
URANUS IS At that last critical degree of Pisces. Uranus at this fateful degree is causing a great deal of the turmoil in Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Yemen and will step it up even more so when Uranus enters ARIES March 11 for the next 8 years. –See more below
URANUS in Aries takes 84 years on average to make one complete cycle. Uranus entered in Aries just before the Great Depression in 1929, the rise of fascism and is now circling round again. Uranus brings breakdowns of old established Saturnine order, new inventions, new technologies, in Aries brings new life, new spirit, new independence.
Uranus and Pluto will be BIG PLAYERS
in the momentous changes coming shortly.
Uranus and Pluto formed 5 squares to each other when Pluto was in Cancer – Uranus in Aries from 1932-1934.
Uranus in Aries will again square Pluto now in Capricorn forming SEVEN exact squares between 2012 and 2015 all between 7 – 15 degrees of cardinal signs.
Anyone born with planets at these degrees of Aries and Capricorn and opposing at 7-15 degrees of Libra Cancer will get the full Revolutionary rug pulled out from under them whammy!

The NORTH NODE- Squaring critical degree Uranus
Just entered Sagittarius on the 3rd of March. The North Node representing the people’s collective highest spiritual goal promptly SQUARES URANUS!
Indicating the highest goal is to complete the spiritual lesson of compassion, oneness, and freedom!
This is what the 29th degree of Pisces symbolizes with Uranian individual freedom for the total collective. The 29th degree of Sagittarius is TRUTH, JUSTICE, DEMOCRACY!
All the planets are lined up from Universal signs of Sag. To Pisces with Jupiter in early Aries and only Saturn at 16 degrees of Libra by his lonesome self. I almost wrote Libya instead of Libra. Libya will get its just karmic balancing soon too.
As LIFE AS WE KNOW IT
will soon be changed dramatically with the new Uranus in Aries cycle begins on March 11th take this time at the NEW MOON in the last sign to let go of as much emotional, spiritual, karmic baggage, hidden inner enemy stuff as you can, illusions, delusions, addictions all PISCES territory now!
MEDITATION FOR THIS NEW MOON-
DRINK lots of water. Meditate, set your intention, dream on it.
Visualize all that has been holding you back unconsciously as floating dissolving, easily detaching, see it being absorbed by the great river of Life, the unbounded Spring of Life, the Holy waters of the Sacred Well, returning to Spirit, cleansed in the heart of the Great Mystery. In whatever way it appear and appeals to you wash it clean. Get comfortable with having no boundaries, nothing to hide. It is the BIG REVOLUTION, the shift in consciousness, the rainbow body, Dec 21 2012, the Ascencion.
Sing TAKE ME TO THE RIVER –
The river is of course the Milky way.
North Node enters Sagittarius WEIGHT LOSS!
North Node enters SAGITTARIUS March 3 for the next 1.5 years!
This next era will be a Huge weight loss for the mind spirit, religion, legal issues, foreign affairs, border crossings, metaphysics, passion, honesty, humour, lightening things up a lot. The motto: ‘THE TRUTH THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH= no emotional baggage.
Since the North Node entered Capricorn August 2009, we’ve been working hard under alot of pressure, attempting to be sure-footed goats as the shifting sands of time move and sway under our feet. There’s been earth-quakes and mine collapses, oil rig blow ups and heads rolling, trying to keep our footing, supposed to be sure? -Not!
As we progress deeper and deeper into Pluto in Capricorn country till 2023 I might remind you, we have to thnk long term.
It hasn’t been easy, all hard work, miserly, taxes, corporations dying and being reborn, world economies falling apart. All the unresolved shadow work of Mom and Apple pie of the Pluto in Cancer generation who are now busy dying off. I sympathize and empathise my parents are of that gerneration too. My Mom passed away in 2009.
There’s a huge EMOTIONAL weight of everything that wasn’t expressed, felt, acknowledged, from the SOUTH NODE IN CANCER from a generation of play it safe, everything is white and nice, picket fences, women stay at home, art is for sissy boys etc. Have you seen PLEASANTVILLE?
That’s the South Node in Cancer waking up. Well all that is ending, thank goodness to Pluto and evolution. We’re at the end of the line of North Node in Capricorn territory, so wave bye-bye for now.
MARCH 3 THE FIRES of SAGITTARIUS INSPIRATION begin to LIGHTEN US UP
A new lighter YOU spirit will begin to burn March 3 when the North Node representing our highest spiritual goal enters the truth-telling inspiring, vast,philosophies and master teachings of The North Node in Sagittarius.
Then URANUS, KING OF REVOLUTIONS finally enters ARIES, THE NEW LIFE SIGN March 11 for the next 7 years!-that’s another whole post
You think you’ve seen ch- ch- changes now! You aint seen nothin’ yet. Uranus is back where he started from 84 years ago. Before the start of the Great Depression. The old maxim is ” If you don’t remember to learn from your mistakes you’re bound to repeat them.”
SAGITTARIUS shoOTS, he scores! GALAcTIC CEnTER by MID-MARCH!
Wow never thought I’d use a hockey metaphor! Especially as I am from Toronto, home of the Maple leafs! But Sagittarius energy is very SPorty!
Sagittarius is symbolized by the arrow pointing to the heavens, sign of faith, optimism. Humour, easy-going, unpretentious, animal loving, nature seeking, inspiring,teaching, philosophy, higher education, travelling, gypsy like are all Sag. keywords. Sagittarius is cross-cultural fertilization, democracy,pan- religious, foreigners, travelling, mixing it all up.
Much legal change is in the offing as Sagittarius represents SACRED LAW, not man -made law. Values, fashion, gypsy nomadic life styles will all come into vogue with North Node in Sagittarius.
FASHION: way more casual, not fussy, sporty for womena and men. Colours: red, black, turquoise dramatic bright/ contrasty. Teaching, publishing, schooling and all forms of Higher education will go through huge changes and upheavals. People will want to enjoy life and be into a Lifestyle of FREEDOM not chained to the rat race for status symbols. There will be much movement of peoples across borders and opening of borders and International laws brought into effect.
BY MID-MARCH the North NOde will be directly On the GALACTIC CENTER
the Heart and birth place, the very cross/quarter of Dec. 21, 2012.
THE GREAT RIFT IN THE MILKY WAY is the CROSSING POINT or SOUL CENTRAL
THE NORTH NODE WILL BE POINTING to the TRUTH THERE.
The South Node is GEMINI- South Node is where we have come from, where we are comfortable, the path of least resistance. The South Node in Gemini is all about communications. Duality, the mind. Gemini as shadow is immaturity, information gathering for the sake of being busy mentally.
Think now about your highest truth, how far and high you want to travel while North Node is in Sagittarius. Spread your spiritual wings and fly..
Cancer Full Moon Jan 19 ,11 Critical Time to Nurture & Be Nurtured and Jan 22 Beginning of beginning cycles of 2011 copyright Tara Greene 2011- infinity
No the signs have not changed in my world or yours. The attributes of the signs remains the same. This is the 4th of five full Moons in a row that occur at the LAST DEGREE of a sign. Full moons are a culmination of the monthly lunar cycle, the fullness, and heavy, fertile. The Moon’s gravitational pull on the oceans and on our bodies and emotions is at full tilt!
At 29 degrees of Cancer the sign ruled by La Luna Herself we find ourselves symbolically engorged with emotion, awash with feelings, engorged with the need to nurture and be nurtured. 29 degrees of Cancer represent the ultimate Home coming/coming home. It symbolizes the nourishing unconditional love of the Great Mother, whose cosmic Milk spurts across the heavens always and our very own galaxy is named for her Milk of Human Kindness- the Milky Way.
So Cancer is all about home, Mom, the womb, privacy, safety, emotional security, feelings, the Feminine, the womb, the tomb, real estate, self-sacrificing, the stomach, food. The dark side of Cancer can be eating disorders, selfishness, inability to relate emotionally, smothering others, self-indulgence.
The Sun at 29 degrees of Capricorn tells us this is a final earthy turning point. Capricorn ruled by Saturn is all about discipline, dedication, commitment, maturity, and responsibility.
Capricorn usually reps the patriarchy, corporations, the father, seniors. Capricorn is Ruled by Saturn, which is the planet of Karma, obstacles, and limitations. The shadow side of Capricorn is domination,
Very Powerful Full Moon all about Feelings, Love @ 1:22 pm PST, 4:22 pm EST, 9:22 pm GST
Balance your need for work, social standing {Capricorn Sun} and your most private space, where you need to retreat to, the emotional space that almost no one sees, your most private space. Sign Cancer is your unconscious, the ocean of imaginal experience and memories, the karmic fluid, the womb, mom both Archetypal and your real mom.
Whether your experience with your mother was/ is positive, unconditionally loving or not in various degrees, spaces, places and time.
Your own birth is the starting place, a description for your life. How you feel about your inner Feminine, your Intuition and feelings, what you nurture, how you nurture others and yourself is the dichotomy that needs to be balanced at this Cancer Full Moon.
At the full moon reflect, a Cancerian image of the Full Moon on still waters on your birth, your beginnning, the Breast, nurturing, how you were nurtured and how it affects how you nurture.
