Inspirational Daily Card – Picasso as a Minotaur

A quick jaunt into slowing down into bovineville. Yes chew your cud, smell the roses, lumber along. 

Mercury in Taurus is a very sensuous, earthy, physical  mind, One that communicates through gut instincts. This will be nice to have on EARTH DAY coming up April 22. 

They speak slowly considering every word and effect. They make seductive silver tongued salesmen. 

Taurus is sensuous and creative. Get into your gardening, slather on the cream, give and receive massages. This is hands on DIY time, make stuff, buy hand made quality on ETSY. Taurus is ruled by Venus who is now skipping along in Gemini which Mercury governs. These two are in mutual reception now.  Love in is the head and the mind is in the body. This is a good time to understand and communicate in a more genuine way.

People born with Mercury in Taurus are charming, have good speaking voices, very attractive. You know some peeps with this?

April 17   MARS in Taurus squares JUPITER in LEO – BIG BULLY DAY

This energy could ignite any already tense situation and there are tons of them out there in the world these days.

Yes the Bulls will be out in the ring fighting with the Lions.

Yes watch for major conflagrations. Many people yelling and calling each other out. Could be good for the markets which keep inflating like Hot air balloons.

Oct 25 

SUN CONJUNCTS VENUS  {3:31 am} at 1+ degrees SCORPIO it’s the rebirth of LIGHT and LOVE. A new VENUS/ love cycle in your life.

InspiratIonal card of the Day

Picasso Venus by the sea

Venus and the SUN conjunct once every 19 months. When this happens when Venus is RETROGRADE it is called the interior or inferior conjunction, it’s like a new moon phase, a new cycle. Venus will then rise as the beautiful Morning star called VENUS LUCIFER. In this aspect she is a warrior Goddess.

Lucifer means LIGHT BRINGER not the DEVIL in Latin. This stage or point ocurred January 11 2014 at 21 + degrees Capricorn and marked this past 9+ month phase. Check out where that degree was in your natal chart for planets conjunct or aspecting that degree.

Venus can never be more than 47.5 degrees ahead of or behind the sun. When the Sun and Venus conjunct when Venus is DIRECT – as now-  this is called the exterior or SUPERIOR conjunction, as Venus passes on the other side from the side from the earth.  It is like a FULL MOON phase, this past love cycle is being completed. Venus is invisible now and in the Underworld.

Venus will rise again in the evening SKY starting December 3, 36 days after this date as  VENUS HERSPERUS the Love Goddess aspect. yay. OBSESSIONAL LOVE TIME>

Venus will make her next INTERIOR Retrograde conjunction with the Sun August  15 2015 at 22 degrees LEO sign of the HEART. Find out where your love life is headed by checking out your natal chart and any planetary aspects to it. see below

We are moving from an earthy, pragmatic, hard-edged, Retrograde Capricorn all business, warrior Love goddess aspect into a very emotional sensitive, deeper more passionate SOULFUL, SCORPIO intensely sexual  loving time.

It is also important to find out what stage Venus was in when you were born, as they represent two different types of LOVE styles and temperaments. Two different  values, love natures, creativity, how you want to be appreciated.

Find out how you shine your LOVE LIGHT in your natal chart. 

If Venus is clockwise from the SUN, ahead of it in sign, you are a VENUS LUCIFER Morning Star type.  You are more emotionally direct and forthright. You like public displays of affection. People know how you feel ,you express love out in the open. 

If Venus is positioned counterclockwise from the Sun or behind the sun in signs  you are a VENUS HESPERUS type, an EVENING STAR. You are emotionally reflective and internalize your feelings. You feel things after they happen and appear more mature.  You make love in the dark.

If you were born with Venus Retrograde it will be indicated on your birth chart.

LOVE LIFE PREDICTIONS  Venus at 1+  degrees SCORPIO with Mercury about to turn DIRECT as well.

The conjunction occurs about 12 hours before Mercury turns direct and planets are at their most powerful then. This aspect influences this Venus point.

SCORPIO is concerned with SEX, Sex and more sex. It is also about the Psyche, the SOUL, the Unconscious drives. Secrets, power struggles,obsession,  using sex as a weapon to control and to get revenge is unconscious and will come back to haunt you. 

Are you caught in a bad romance? Face it and leave. Do your inner work now. The true nature of all of your unconscious emotions  need to be delved into and dealt with.  This is raw, basic, primal energy. The life force of the Universe. Scorpio unconscious is fixed, manipulating,  selfish ,using others.

Scorpio love energy on higher levels is detached, feels the intensity of the emotions but channels that energy, does not react from it. Like a Chi Kung master, use the full natural sexual urge for higher purposes. Tantric sexuality, where no orgasm is allowed but the tension of the energy is ridden would be an appropriate expression of this energy. Take the high road do not submit to base desire.

VENUS rules LIBRA;  the North Node and Mercury are both under her rule, 3 degrees apart.

Choose your HIGHEST direction now, carefully, be fair, balanced, objective.  See through your lovers eyes.  It needs to be artful.

BE VERY very careful with what you say and how you communicate . MERCURY RETROGRADE stationing Direct indicated the need to change your hearts gears very carefully for the entire next cycle. In a sense our love lives thoughts and values are still in retrograde motion.

The recent SOLAR ECLIPSE though is making us barrel forward, in a NEW MOON phase although we are still Retrogradeish. It feels confusing. 

We will all be obsessing we will be relentlessly asking our hearts WTF our hearts true desires are. 

Love energy in general is shifting into a more reflective post full moon stage towards a new moon stage next August.

We may be feeling lost and without a compass as VENUS is invisible in the underworld until she emerges on December the 3rd 2014 to LIGHT OUR WAY.

Check this out for yourself, Venus must go invisible and release her attachments to her ego and her lover at this time. 

This is the ancient myth of INANNA. 

Venus as our love nature is preparing to dissolve old attachments, she is in an entirely new incarnation. Such is the cyclical nature of life. Embrace it.

Art, Venus in Libra, Neptune in Pisces astrology Tara Greene

ART, artists, Astrology

VENUS besides ruling women, relationships, values, money, luxury also rules beauty and the ARTS.

I was born with Venus in Libra. 

I started out telling my very surprised mother that I was going to be an artist when I grew up when I  was nine years old.

I loved to draw,and  danced from the age of 5, loved to sing,and wrote poems, dreamed and fantasized a lot. I was interested in metaphysics, mysticism, the occult since I was very young. I was always a unique individual, against the mainstream, also born psychic. Art allowed me to express my soul.

Art and all artistic endeavours, painting, music, dance, writing, acting are all ruled by VENUS, who co-rules Feminine earthy sensual Taurus and the  airy Masculine sign of LIBRA.

NEPTUNE is considered to be Libra’s Higher Octave, and in modern Western tropical astrology Neptune rules the sign of PISCES, the sign of spirit, of the Source, which all artists must channel through. Neptune rules illusions, fantasy, film and photography, addictions, delusions.

As Venus is in Libra now and will be From Oct.28 to Nov.21st Venus the Goddess of beauty is impelling me to talk about ART.  ART is necessary to feed the beauty of your soul. In Europe and in most 3rd world countries, Art is a part of everyone’s daily life. Art is as essential as your daily bread.

Neptune rules artists as shaman’s, shape shifters. They must channel through spirit and many are alcoholics, addicts as the dark side of Neptune.

With Neptune at zero degrees of its own sign NOW and for the next 14 years. ART and Spirituality will be a very important part of our need for beauty and artistic creative self expression.

I was born with Venus in Libra exactlly conjunct NEPTUNE at 20 degrees. I can’t really separate Neptune from Venus.

So to me Art is always about spirtuality, the soul expressing itself. Especially in visual arts, as the soul always  speaks in images, symbols, icons, in dreams, it has no real spoken language. We are naturally image makers.

So lets look at Venus in Libra and Neptune in some famous artists charts.

Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci Astrology

click on chart to view larger

Leonardo Da Vinci one of the most famous and deservedly so artists and genius’ in the world and Venus and Neptune are very strong in his natal chart.

Born illegitimately on April 15 1452 Old Style, his birth date has been changed to accord with Gregorian calendars to April 23 with a birth time recorded as close to 9:40 pm. The chart has been used by Astro data Bank.

Leonardo has Venus dignified in Taurus @ 24 degrees in the 6th house of work discipline, service. Born with Neptune Retrograde at Zero degrees of LIBRA, Venus trines Neptune which is the highest elevated Planet in the 10th house of worldly fame. Saturn sign of hard work, discipline is also in Libra where it is exalted.

Jupiter is in his home Feminine sign of PISCES.

the ruler of Pisces in Traditional astrology is conjunct Leonardo’s  very imaginative, spiritual, mutable, artistic Moon,which it rules in the 3rd house of communications.

Leonardo also has a SAGITTARIUS Ascendant

6 degrees of Sagittarius. Also ruled by Jupiter. Jupiter is expansive, metaphysical, aiming higher, reaching for the stars, honest. I was pleasantly surprised to see it  is the degree of my Sun!

PICASSO born Oct 25 1881 Malaga Spain 11:15 pm

Has Venus at 4 degrees of LIBRA dignified in his 3rd house of communicating

Was born with 5 planets in TAURUS, all Venus ruled

Saturn at 9 degrees Retrograde in the 10th house

Neptune at 15 degrees Taurus Retrograde in the 10th

Chiron at 22 degrees Taurus in the 10th house

Jupiter at 23 degrees TAurus retrograde in the 10th house

Pluto at 28 degrees Taurus Retrograde in the 10th house

If anyone was born with a chart to  be a wealthy world-famous artist it is definitely PICASSO!

and co-incidentally Picasso‘s Moon, his Unconscious is at 8 degrees of Sagittarius conjunct his North Node at 9 degrees Sagittarius which is also conjunct to Leonardo’s chart. Which makes me think that perhaps Leonardo re-incarnated as Picasso. Those specific Sagittarius degrees are also conjunct to major fixed Star Antares.

Bull market,Taurus time,no BS, Astrology Advice Tara Greene,

April 19 @ 9:12 am PDT/ 12:12 pm EDT It’s TAURUS time!

 Sun enters the earthy, SENSUAL, stubborn bull-headed, creative, couch potato, Body oriented, VENUS ruled feminine Sign of Taurus. Associated with the 2nd sign and house, Taurus is the tools, what I HAVE, I own, I keep. Security conscious, money oriented all Taurus wants to do is smell the roses, and get more beautiful things, stuff,  in the Garden of Eden that they already revel in. Chocolate, massages, fine perfumes, Taurus men can be quite vain.

TAUrus rules the throat, they are often excellent singers.

Things will turn from flighty Aries to slow as molasses Taurus when Moon enters Taurus April 20 9:05 pm PDT/ 12:05 am EDT

NEW MOON in TAURUS on APRIL 21 @ 12:20 am PDT/ 3:20 am EDT/ 7:20 am GMT  at 1 degree of Taurus

with Asteroid Ceres who is Goddess  of the Earth, of cereals, at 4 and Jupiter at 17 degrees.

Where is Taurus is in your natal chart? Any planets or house cusp or angles, is where you need to say YES! to your body, your senses, your basic desires. Get Grounded, stake your territory, revel in the earth plane, your body. Simply enjoy being here on the earth plane. It’s Spring! Slow down.. be come one with your animal nature.

VENUS the prominent player in 2012 rules Taurus. She is at 14 degreees of GEMINI on this New Moon and only  one degree away from her  June 5-6 occultation degree of the Sun 

There are a lot of very sensuously beautiful actors singers, actors who are Taurus.

BONO of U2, George Clooney, David Beckham, Robert Pattinson, Jessica Alba, Megan Fox,Penelope Cruz, Enrique Iglesias,Kelly Clarkson,Cate Blanchett,Pierce Brosnan, Corey Monteith,Cher, Stevie Wonder, Shirley MacLaine, Uma Thurman,Renee Zellweger,Kirsten Dunst, Janet Jackson,Michelle Pfeiffer, Andie MacDowell, Channing Tatum,  quite the group.

So become like the Bull, be a sponge and simply revel and soak up whatever THEY have. Imagine what they do, you do it too. Do take time to smell the roses. Celebrate the Taurus New Moon with a bath in rich dark chocolate…. get out the paints and make a pretty picture, play with the colors, sing, get massages…. you know. be lazy. I dont want to do anything by Bruno Mars the Lazy song is a Taurus  song…

and outlaw BULLFIGHTS! they are cruel Neanderthal spectacles.

And look at PICASSO he painted and drew so many Bulls, it wasn’t just that he was Spanish. He had 5 planets in Taurus!

The Mood: Bullish Monday Jan 30 EU crisis meeting and some Astrology tips from Tara Greene

Moon enters Bullish Taurus on Monday @ 1:28 am EDT and makes a Super Positive  conjunction with Jovial Jupiter @ 6:29 am.

Picasso plate taurus

This translates as the big money deal, the big lucky break, the expansive vacation, the maxed out credit card, the super stubborn moments, the vast sensuality, the inspired artistic vision, super stud, overwhelmed by the scent of  roses,  the best massage/meal/you name it of your life.

Does the market go uberbullish?   Moon then squares Mercury @ 11:15 am, expect some communications head to heads.

There’s an EU crisis meeting today.  let’s have a quick look at the EU birth chart, click to see larger

EU birth of ASTROLOGY CHART

 

 The EU created Nov 1, 1993 in Brussels, Belgium. It is very heavily Scorpionic with 4 planets in Scorpio, I mean it has an exact Mars Pluto conjunction! There is always major power and control, big secrets and sabotage going on in the EU. It’s a veritable Pink Panther movie. Note the Steve Martin remakes during those years! 

 The chart shows the North Node the highest spiritual goal  3 degrees of Sagittarius a great and fitting place for foreign International trade and business. That point and the south node in Gemini have been squared off by wounded healer Chiron since 2011 and continuing now. The EU is on very shaky ground to say the least. 

 

CHIRON the Wounded Healer and the EU

 

As Neptune moves into Pisces on Feb. 3 for the next 14 years, we will see the dissolving of a lot of what the ideals of the EU stood for. For the EU to survive they would have to fully merge as One real union and I don’t think this is possible yet. As well Mars moving Retrograde right now will cross the EU charts’ Natal Chiron at 6 degrees of  Virgo March 17- Spring Equinox, a very important date and time as it heralds the real New Year and the “conception point” of Dec 21 2012.

 

The EU may defragment around spring of 2012. There will be much blaming and nit-picking around legal issues as well. It’s direction may dissolve then, or the strongest nation would have to take action, be more in control and  more of a leading factor over the whole EU. Which is not what the EU was supposed to be all about anyway. But up Euro’s as Monopoly funny  money souveniers now.  Who really wins if the EU falls is the real question.

Later the same day-

Then “Bull luna” squares the Sun Big Sol @ 11:10 pm and that looks like Huge sun spot solar flares and Northern Lights tonight!  If you have been feeeling woozy dizzy unbalanced the last week or so that is because of those huge solar flares destabilizing our electro-magnetic atmosphere and our individual bodies too. Staying grounded and calm in the eye of the Helios Hurricane, the magnetic solar storms and winds of change takes practice.

Let me know how this earthy moon affects you, can be blissfully bovine, seriously sensuous and lazy, don’t get out of bed or … what you make it.

 Remember when the universe bullshits you, make cowpies and use them to fuel your fire as they have done in India for thousands of years.

Blessings, TARA

please leave comments and join the dialogue please 

P.S. Due to Mars Retrograde and huge sunspot activity part of this article the meat of it where i discussed the EU chart got into a type snafu and I am fixing it now. Yes expect lots of nitpick-y annoying details to deal with while Mars is Retrograde in Virgo till April 14.  If you need a chill pill well if you must but “au natural” is much better, meditate, tone with your voice, take Himalayan salt crystal baths.   Pisces patience and compassion is to the rescue and on the way on Feb 3rd.
