Today is an alternative mother’s day in Astrology as the SUN conjuncts CERES the dwarf planet who symbolizes the Great Mother. Demeter/ Mother Mary/ the Shekinah/ Hathor/ Maya/ SKy Woman she has a thousand names because we are all born of mothers.
At 17+ARIES you may want to look at your natal chart to see how and where MOTHER CERES and the SUN are nurturing you.
In total synchronicity this is my mothers birthday. Fay Cantor, her maiden name, translates as Fairy Singer which I love. An Aries mom will always come to bat for you even if your relationship is fiesty with lots of arguments. It was. I remember her the happiest and best when she came to visit me and my ex and our son ELIJAH in Sedona Arizona in May 1987 who was turning 4. As the SUN conjuncts CERES I thought this is awesome synchronicity to remember my mom as the Source and as a great guiding light in my life and for all mothers as the guiding lights for their children. My mom would have been 95 years old.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the women who are Goddesses who birthed everyone who has ever incarnated.
I give thanks to all the mothers and grandmothers and great-grandmothers and all the mothers throughout time who gave birth to all the children of the earth. We are all children of the Great Mother. I give thanks to my mother Fay Cantor who birthed me and to my grandmother, her mother, Dina Geitl Sandpearl. My mom loved me unconditionally. She passed on September 18, 2009 on a Holy day.
This is a day to honor the Divine Feminine and all the Goddesses. Every religion has a Mother Goddess somewhere in the world. Isis, Astarte, Inanna, Nuit, Pachamama, Mother MARY, The Black Madonna, Demeter, Ceres, Anu, Freya, Shekinah, Durga, Coatlicue, Shakti, Sheela Na Gig, Gayatri, Spider Woman, Kunapipi, She has thousands of names.
Aztec Goddess CoatlicueGreat Mother by J. B. Grien 1500’s
. Each and every mother is a living Mother Goddess. She is the natural and primordial mother of all creation. We are all born of mothers, first and foremost she is the ground of our being. We, in fact, are our mothers and grandmothers, physically, we were eggs in our mothers’ fallopian tubes when she was born from her mother. We actually carry all the memories of our grandmothers and mothers all of their experience is written in our own cells.
In the Tarot the Mother is the EMPRESS #3
The earth is our collective Mother as well. On this day Bless the earth, Make offerings to her. Give her water, feed her, lay on her. thank her for so generously feeding her children and all the creatures on earth.
On an Astrological level the Moon symbolizing the Divine Feminine is in earthy Capricorn which was originally the sign of the Great Mother. Ruled by Saturn which represents the physical plane, That’s what our mothers do.
Light aspects today
Moon squares VENUS in ARIES at night
Even if your mom wasn’t there for you physically or emotionally remember that she did give you life. She sacrificed herself to birth you. Even if she isn’t or wasn’t perfect, even if she was abusive, or narcissistic, or mentally ill or an addict. She is still your mother. You can also connect to the Great Divine Mother for unconditional love. Catholics worship Her as Mother Mary. They call her the Shekina in Hebrew and she comes to earth every Friday night at Sundown to be on earth with her children. The Divine Mother will love you as no human mother can. The patriarchal world still puts The Divine Mother down. But that time is over. Honor your mother and honor yourself, Honor the gift of your life.
When I gave birth to my son Elijah, now almost 34 years ago at home, during the last hour of a 36-hour labor, I had a transcendent connection to every mother who had every been in labor and who had passed through this dangerous risk of losing her life or her child’s. I was initiated into the millions and billions of mothers at that moment. I was different I was changed by this singular experience.
I am grateful for my two beautiful children, my son Elijah and my daughter Leah. They also chose me to be their mother. We all choose our parents from the souls perspective to work out the issues our souls choose to tackle in each lifetime. So no matter how bitter or resentful or hardened or cynical you may feel about your mother, she is still the one person you will have the most intimate relationship with in your entire life. That intimacy that bliss state, is stored in your cellular memories. You can connect with that state through meditation, hypnosis or flotation tanks.
Have a joyous Mother’s Day. It’s good to honor Mom but really every day should be the day to honor the Mothering Principle and Mother Earth.

Taurus Moon Trine Pluto today. Good for Virgo too.
INSPIRATIONAL CARD OF THE DAY
Tarot Illiminati Trump #3
The Empress is VENUS
Venus is the great Mother archetype, the mother of All that exist. We are all born of woman. The earth is our mother. She nurtures, feeds, protects. Usually she is shown pregnant. The number 3 is the pyramid, the Trinity. She has the Tree of Life growing on her skirt in this deck.
The Empress brings love, safety, the womb, creativity. Usually she is shown pregnant. How can you be more creativity in your life? What are you conceiving, and ready to give birth to?
The Empress is the Divine Mother, the one who loves you unconditionally and completely. You are whole complete and perfect in her eyes no matter what. She enters Pisces today. So her influence will be felt very much as unconditional love, like Mother Mary to Jesus.
Receive her love now and always. Be the Mother to all. Give to others, be kind, unselfish, nurturing. Less critical to yourself.
In the aftermath of the tragic murders of the Charlie Hebdo artists, the police men and women and the Jewish people who were murdered in France by Muslim Extremists. I have been asking spirit what do i need to bring through now to offer assistance?
It is Friday night, it is the day of the Sabbath for the Jewish People.
What came to me was the Shekinah, the Feminine Face of God, the Females aspect of the LIGHT. Her Divine presence whispering to me. I should be asleep. But I cant sleep. I have to offer my services to you and to the world.
As the Divine Feminine She is the Great Mother pouring out unconditional love, nurturing and protection for all of her children. Originally we were and are still are all of Her children. She is Gods right hand side and She descends to earth every Sabbath to protect, comfort and embody the Light for those who praise honor and welcome Her presence.

Visionary art of the Pistis Sophia of Shekinah presence being invoked
The word God in English from Genesis 1:1 is translated from the Hebrew word Elohim. Elohim is plural and includes both masculine and feminine. There is only ONE God/Goddess, they have both aspects in One. The Shekinah is the Divine Feminine aspect of the Elohim. Islam is also based on the Hebrew and Christian tradition. Any religion which does not honor the Feminine half of God is half way to being atheism.
Her names mean indwelling. She has other names. Stella Maris – I had a dream about a boat on the ocean with the name Stella Maris in Golden letters. She is Mother Mary to the Christians, the Woman of Light. Reminded me of Paul McCartney’s beautiful prayer song LET IT BE. See below. He names his daughter Stella. It means Stars, She is the Lady of the Stars. She could also be seen as Mary Magdalene or the Holy Grail.
We use the prefix SHE to denote women, it is a sacred prefix, from the Shekinah. She is the way we experience the Goddess in our every day lives. Her name is identified with the final Heh of God’s name YHVH. She is the primordial ground of life.
In the Kabbalah, on the Tree of Life, she is said to be the daughter of the Supernal Mother Binah, #3 or the Empress in the Tarot, who means Understanding or Wisdom. She is known as Sophia to the Greeks. The Shekinah is designated to Malkuth on the Tree of Life, the earthly sphere. Symbolizing all the disks, or clubs, roots of trees. The number 10.
The Shekinah is associated with speech and prayers.I send prayers through the Divine Goddess of Love and Light presence to the earth to ALL her children. Jews, Christians, Muslims, atheists, Indigenous peoples all alike.
There were fireworks last night. It is Victoria Day in Canada, Yes we still celebrate the Monarchy. We have a Queen. Prince Harry belongs to us Canucks too.I still get a thrill from the fireworks.
You need to pay attention to the things and elements that are calling to you. This can come as songs that get stuck in your head, synchronicity, conversations, a repeating phrase, a symbol, a dream that repeats.
Ultimately the Universe is talking back to you. The more you listen and pay attention the louder and clearer the communication. Each and every one of you is a receiving station. We are NEVER alone. There is so much to know, to learn, to explore and remember.
There is the prime symbol, the main event, the lynchpin where most of us are stuck that we need to unravel. There are so many ways to unwrap the package. Why do we stay stuck, blind, limited, half- baked, martyrs, suffering? In my work as a Tarot card counsellor and Astro-therapist I hear so many of people’s life stories.
YOU HAVE TO ALWAYS ASK QUESTIONS. Yes. Question everything that comes to you. Learn to trust your own intuition.
DO YOU MEDITATE?
I don’t think of myself as a channeler. I go into deep meditations and I do get multi-dimensional information. I have been receiving this information since my earliest memories of around three years old. It doesn’t seem strange or unusual. Has this happened to you?
We were at a little gathering of friends on Sunday. A woman asked me what I did. I know Oriah Mountain Dreamers’ famous book THE INVITATION which came from a poem, begins with “It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living..” from the David White poetry process. I told her I was professional psychic, Astrologer and Tarot card reader. I am always surprised that others find this unusual. I never think of myself as unusual. Well I know that I was never the same as everyone else but not unusual because what I do is usual for me. She was a deeply Catholic religious woman. I was very interested in her story. I asked her about her EPIPHANY. Epiphany is one of my favourite words. I taught it to my daughter when she was 8 years old. She definitely felt powerful knowing the meaning of that word and impressed her friends.I respect those that have deep devotion whether its Catholic, Jewish, pagan as long as it’s from their heart and not doctrine.
I was not raised Catholic. Christmas is a holiday that exist outside of my childhood experience. It is a learned behaviour for me. But lately MOTHER MARY is coming up in my consciousness. I don’t think of Her in the Catholic sense. She is a MOTHER GODDESS, Queen of Heaven, ancient mother figure which Catholicism appropriated. But she is very beautiful, unconditionally loving, and as pure and as high a light as you can get. I had a dream maybe over 20 years ago and in the dream a large ship appeared. The name of the ship was STELLA MARIS. Star of the Sea an ancient name for THE GREAT MOTHER.
Yesterday I connected with an old girlfriend who lives in Norway. We met in Israel in 1976 when I came to a kibbutz near Gaza to stay and she was already working there. We shared a tiny living space for 5 months. Then travelled together to Greece for a month. We reminisced over getting caught in a sandstorm while camping out in the desert under a plastic makeshift tent near EILAT in the middle of nowhere for three days, unable to leave our tent. Singing under the stars, hiking down from Masada on a FULL MOON, where I had a transcendent experience, walking to GAZA to see the Meditterean sea. I did much time travelling while in Israel, I loved the energy of Jerusalem, the temple mount, the ancient sites, Bethlehem but hated the politics. It’s so wonderful to stay connected to those you had shared experiences with many years ago and to still feel the warmth and specialness of that connection. I have friends who I still connect with who I’ve known since I was 8 years old.
I was feeling the ascending energy of MARS getting ready to shoot himself out of a cannon on the 19th at 6:31 pm PDT. We were quite antsy, grumpy, frustrated for the last day or so.
My daughter was conceived 17 years ago last night. A voice THE VOICE that guides me- said NOW! I knew we had conceived her right away. The interesting thing was I was thinking about dates and star alignments. May 17 is when the SUN CONJUNCTS the PLEIADES every year, its at 28 degrees of TAURUS in Tropical astrology. My husband and I were very interested in the Pleiades and were reading Barbara Hand Clow’s book when we got together 18 years ago. We got to meet her right as our relationship began in fact. We have always driven SUBARU’s because of the Pleiades. I realized that we had gotten married on AUGUST 17 which is 3 months or 90 degrees in an Astrology chart. The famous “L.” aspect. Our daughter’s astrology chart features 28 degrees of TAURUS on the top of her chart- the M.C. or Medium Coelli/High Noon position. I just realised this and it blew me away. My son also has CHIRON in his natal chart at 29 degrees Taurus. YEs the UNiverse is always sending us pieces of the puzzle.
Mother Mary and Qwan Yin and her dragon came up in a healing I experienced last month in Sedona while attending Drunvalo Melchizedek’s Awakening the Illuminated Heart Workshop- his last one. Dru- as he is known did a group healing. There were 103 people in the room and thousands on line virtually. It was very powerful.
PAY Attention to what is calling you. A friend of mine called to tell me she was feeling exhausted, she is launching a big project, and she’s been inspired and putting out megawatts of energy. She was wondering if she should cancel her upcoming appearances because she was feeling so exhausted as she felt she had already birthed her baby- the project.. I tuned in that she was still in labour and exhausted from that, her baby was not yet born. If you feel exhausted and stuck, ask yourself which stage of labour you are at? It is really like giving birth.
Ponder on this rambling heart-felt offering and tell me what comes up for you.
I pulled a Card from my newly acquired Universal TAROT OF MARSEILLES restored by Alejandro Jodorowsky found at the GOODWILL in Sedona for $3.99 = 21 the UNIVERSE.

It feels like a 2 day Full Moon as the Approach to the Cancer Super Full Moon on Jan 15 at 25+ degrees will feel the intense weight/stress of the Planetary signature of 2014- those Grand Cardinal Crosses.
Cancer Moon squares Uranus in Aries and opposes Pluto on Jan 14th then conjuncts JUPITER still Retrograde at night PST.
I started to write this article two days ago. My email got hacked, yadda yadda clients turned up at wrong times. URANIAN energy.
As the Beatles sang- “Boy you’re gonna carry that weight.” A cross is a crux. Don’t be crucified. Don’t be a martyr.
Whatever your personal cross is to bare. Thinking of it as GRAND Transformation puts a more powerful spin on it for me. We are emerging.- see song below

As it is So TOTALLY about allowing the FEMININE imperative way of being in the world
think of this SUPER MOON as SUPER MOM, as MOTHER MARY, Qwan YIN, Green Tara or whichever Divine FEMININE Goddess energy you know of, Fullness. Exaltation, incantation, reincarnation.
Jupiter is exalted in Cancer and Jupiter EXPANDS whatever it touches. Jupiter is also conjunct the brightest STAR SIRIUS
and the U.S. SUN on this full moon. A resurrection time.
On the 15th Moon conjuncts Jupiter 9:06 p.m. Jan 14 and on the 15th at 12:06 am EST.
go out and see Jupiter shining so beautifully in the sky very BRIGHT when Retrograde
Moon squares Mars in Libra @ 4:03 am PST – irritable,
Moon opposes VENUS in Capricorn at 8:16 am PST-earthing the love
Moon TRINES SATURN in Scorpio @ 11:59 am that’s an easy one.
take a deep breath
Then FULL MOON is at 8:52 pm PST/10:52 pm EST then the Moon goes Void of course.
THIS IS ALL ABOUT GIVING BIRTH to FEELINGS with the DIVINE MOTHER
who is rebirthing herself, through you and me and everyone and thing on this planet.
Cancer is the waters of the womb so return to the womb,
be a baby, totally open.
it’s about RECEIVING- not doing, allowing,
nurturing, being fed by the mother’s milk of compassion and loving kindness.
you need this,most of us have not received this on the earth plane.
We MUST adopt the FEMININE way of being in the world now or we may not survive.
It is heart centered, all about relating to others, to the world,
it is about compassion, nurturing, emotional security, home, food, taking care of others.
The Grand Cardinal crosses also highlight the damage done to the Oceans through PLUTO- radiation from Fukushima, Uranus in Aries- technology not being thought through enough, MArs in Libra imbalances in power and Jupiter in Cancer, which is excess.
There are more symbols of Feminine Archetypes.
LILITH FIRST WOMAN, equal to Adam, Goddess of all nature, is conjunct the Moon at 24 degrees Cancer opposite the SUN.
SHE is the archetype of the Dark Feminine, the BLAck Madonna, Kali, the devourer and destroyer,
she is raw nature, when we have tsunammi, storms, volcanic explosions, destructive Nature it is Lilith’s fury that has been unleashed.
We need to INTEGRATE her Love too. She is the Goddess whole unto herself, belonging to no man,
Joan of Arc lived her archetype. She is FREE WOMAN, untamed, wild, sexual,
put down as demoness, child stealer, first vampire, by the Patriarchy she is the wise snake in the Tree of Life
she is God’s left hand side. We need to INTEGRATE LILITH too.
She empowers women and the energy of refusing to be tamed or conquered.
We need her independence and I won’t be less than all of who I am, energy
VESTA Goddess of the Hearth of keeper of sacred sexual knowledge is conjunct CERES now the dwarf planet named for the Great Mother herself at 23 degrees Libra squaring the SUN and MOON, Venus an Jupiter. ANother DIVINE Feminine archetype included here.
VENUS is squaring Mars on the 16th- balancing the two polarities. LOVE is in the air.
THIS IS A INTENSELY FEELING oriented Full MOON
you will be feeling awash,
A Mother’s love is miraculous. A mother brings her newborn son declared dead back to life. The power of a mother’s love to revive the dead and this Full SUPER MOON IN CANCER is totally relevant to the energy that is potent right now. This SUPER CANCERIAN FULL MOON is a divine call to drink in the SOMA of Galactic loving kindness, to nurture ourselves on the Cosmic Mystical miraculous MILK of the GREAT MOTHER.
THE CARDINAL CROSS Energy is intense. JUPITER Retrograde in Cancer, where his energy is exalted in the womb of the mother, expands, optimizes the GREAT MOTHERS DIVINE LOVE ENERGY for all. FOR THE PLANET which is ailing for the OCEANS being polluted by Radiation {Pluto} URANUS In ARIES is new HIGHER CONSCIOUS ACTIONS. MARS IN LIBRA- bringing a new balance in the MASCULINE AND FEMININE and laws.
OH GREAT MOON MOTHER we are your children, Oh mother of all your love light shines down upon us nursing feeding caring comforting and nurturing us always in your unconditional love and protective Light.- Tara Greene
has a very happy upbeat Moon Jupiter conjunction in Gemini @ 21 degrees Taurus
An air and earth combo. Get mom something light but sensual, a communication tool, a new learning experience.
Inspirational Card of the Day
comes from what else?
the MOTHERPEACE TAROT by Vicki Noble and artist Karen Vogel.
The first really different in shape and Feminist centric Tarot card deck, printed in 1983. It’s been hugely successful, over 200,000 copies sold.
MOTHER PEACE TAROT CARD DECK
The Lovers Trump # 6 GEMINI
So synchronous that the LOVERS showed up on Mother’s day. So sweet. I love it.
It is associated with the Sign of GEMINI- duality in one.
To love, one must have an equal and opposite mirror, polarity, Yin/yang.
LOVE IS ALL. Love is all we need. Love, Love, Love.
We are in a Universal LOVERS year as 2013 reduces to #6
MEANING
Drop all you old resentments,hurt and old emotional baggage about what MOM didn’t do for you
and turn that into gratitude and joy.
MOM gave you LIFE, for you to make of it what you will. Thank her and love her for that alone.
She gave you a great gift and walked in the shadow of death to give birth to you.
Mom may not have been perfect, still she made sacrifices for you. Mom may be like Mother Mary to you, all loving giving and compassionate.
Mom is both human and the Archetype of the Universal Goddess of creation and love who constantly gives birth to everything in the universe. She is the closest you will ever get to another person. You are her. You were physically in her body from the time she was conceived in her mother’s body. You have every experience and emotion that she had inside your own cellular consciousness. Plus your own karmic story of why you chose her to be your mother. Whewh, that’s a whole book in itself.
Love your mother and honor her today and everyday.
Take some deep breaths and see your mother as the Goddess, as the perfect mother, see her real frailty, her own wounds and struggles, and love her imperfection the same way she loves yours. Know that whatever her love or perceived lack of, that she love you unconditionally.
Love our mother the EARTH as well. Everyone is born of woman, your Mom is your, and everyone’s very real, living experience of the Goddess.
