Pluto Retrograde Psychopomp time

---

Pluto turns Retrograde April 22 Earth Day as the Psychopomp-I love that word- descends to Hades the Underworld deep in the earth.

Pluto will be visiting his home turf until September 30th so this is a good long 5 + months journey into Plutoland. 

This is the realm of the shadow our own psychological aspects which we need to understand and know. The subconscious does not speak in words but in symbols and images like in our dreams. The unconscious is transpersonal archetypal and transhuman. It is where our imagination our souls and our eternal selves live.

How exciting that these realms are easier to touch while Pluto is Retrograde in Capricorn. 

We may have to revisit retrace review and retouch the things we went through since the beginning of the year.

Moon is in Cancer the sign of the Mother on Earth Day until the afternoon in EDT

LEO MOON royal radiates the mood of the next couple of days.

Moon trines Chiron in ARIES 

You may discover a new kind of a thorn in the paw of the lion.

MOON squares SUN- we are a week from a powerful FULL MOON IN SCORPIO in the 29th

One of the most intensely powerful Full Moons of the year.

Moon trines MERCURY in PDT/ next day in EDT/ GMT

Connects our hearts with our minds. Think like a Queen or King.

Your Golden Ticket Astrology Sept. 9

Your Golden Ticket to glory and power is here Sept. 9th earth signs

This is one of the BEST aspects there is. Light and Earthly Riches.

The glorious GOLDENSOURCE, the SUN KING, DIVINE RADIANT LIGHT, the STAR, 

Be like Louis the Sun King of France, or a ROCK STAR like Elvis in his Gold Lame suit or Donald Trump in his gilded home.

When the SUN Trines PLUTO, it’s a golden transformation like the Midas Touch. golden death, think of an Egyptian Mummy pharaoh wrapped in gold,  it’s an earth Trine. Good for bringing the shadows out into the light to transform them into gold. That’s called Alchemy. 

The VIRGO very humble SUN trines Lord of Death the Psychopomp PLUTO in Capricorn.

Think of King Tut Egyptian Mummy pharaoh’s wrapped in gold. It’s good for bringing the shadows out into the light to transform them into gold. That’s called Alchemy. 

Exact @ 16+ degrees TAURUS/CAPRICORN this aspect is the same degree as the one that happened on May 7, 2016. We are getting a second chance at luck. If you have earth planets in TAURUS VIRGO or CAPRICORN think back about what was happening in your life then. Things were very different then politically.

 

PLUTO  Lord of DEATH and CHANGES

Recycling, atomic energy, soul growth,  Lord of The Underworld, The SHADOW, the unseen, depth psychology, the Shaman, the urge to power, secrecy, control. The PLUTOCRACY the 1% 

 

This is a very prosperous aspect. SOUL POWER and the POWER OF THE LIGHT and the SHADOW working together. It can also mean the PLUTOCRACY gaining more power.

I would do some powerful magical ceremony to bring up your negative suppressed shadows into the LIGHT. BETTER THE SHADOWS WE KNOW THAN THE ONE’s WE REPRESS and PROJECT ONTO OTHERS. 

The LIGHT cannot fight the dark directly but can love and transform it. 

Check out where these degrees fall in your natal chart. 

Ask yourself when do you feel most empowered? What brings your soul into the light where it can shine as the source of your being?

A very good manifesting energy. The aspect occurs in the week hours at night. Along with a difficult aspect between Venus and PLUTO 3 hours earlier. 

Trines can be too easy an aspect. You have to put in the good old Virgo hard work and discipline to really reap the rewards. 

HEALTH is WEALTH is one of the simplest definitions of this aspect.

Pay attention to your diet and health regime now especially as MARS is already in VIRGO and MERCURY enters VIRGO later tonight.  Virgo rules the digestive tract and the upper intestines. While the SUN is still in Virgo that area of your body will be ultra-sensitive and you will surely feel it. Especially Virgo’s whose weak spot this always is. 

Mercury and MARS meet on the 16th @ 7+ degrees Virgo for your future notice.

Use the Golden Ticket wisely. Go for the Gold within you.

Make Mercury Retrograde work for you

Do not fear or dread Mercury Retrograde. This popular nonsense about Mercury Retrograde being hellish, horrible and time to lock yourself away until it’s all over is all misguided and overwrought. 

 

 Mercury moves Retrograde on average about 1/3 of the year. We need to sleep 8 hours a day which is also 1/3 of our entire lives.  Nature always does everything in balance. Even though Mercury Retrograde is an apparent illusion, it appears real and the planets are also symbolic indicators for us to take our cues from. Mercury Retrograde is a natural time to rest whenever it occurs. All you drilled in non-stop worker drones need to chill.

Make Mercury Retrograde work for you by playing by the rules of doing everything that has the prefix Re. Mercury Retrograde’s symbol is Rx it is good medicine.

The Main thing to do when Mercury is Retrograde is RELAX.

Yes, the rule is not to start anything new because we time and communication are in a regressive moving backwards, review phase.  Everyone needs time to pause, reset, renew, review, repair, rewind, rescind, regard, regress, relent, etc. etc. 

Just chill. Expect that communications will go awry and redouble your efforts to manage this. Yes, your cheque will get lost in the mail. Many things will get lost in translation. Expect communications snafus and you won’t be disappointed. But it’s not the end of the world. Do take this Mercury Retrograde as a chance to give your overwrought mind a rest. It desperately needs it.

Mercury is also known as Hermes the Olympian messenger god of commerce, thieves, travelers, sports, athletes, and border crossings, fish, wits, gamblers, and guide to the Underworld. He is the only God who is allowed to travel into the Upper Worlds of Heaven and the Lower Worlds of Hades or Hell. He is also a hermaphrodite, a dual sexed symbol of our brain itself which has a right and left hemisphere. Mercury is considered to be The TRICKSTER, a shape-shifter, and shaman.  Mercury is based on the ancient Egyptian God Anubis who also carries a serpent wand.

Think of Mercury Retrogrades as beauty naps for the brain.

Mercury will turn Retrograde in CAPRICORN and the element which Mercury turns retrograde in makes a difference in how we experience it.  

Mercury turns Retro at the most powerful 15th degree of Capricorn a practical earth sign. This means the communications are expected to be felt more physically and practically. Real objects will get lost, break down, and need repairs. 

Mercury is also conjunct to powerful PLUTO as it Retrogrades bringing Pluto’s powerful energies along with it. Mercury will Retrograde back into SAGITTARIUS on JANUARY 4TH and turns Direct on January 8th at 28+ degrees of SAGITTARIUS which is right on the Galactic Center, the Great Void. This has very spiritual and mystical significance. We are moving from the corporate practical world of Capricorn into the Very metaphysical void from which all light and matter is attracted to.

MERCURY in the TAROT is the #1 Card of The Magician

 

This is a good time to meditate and detach from the mental chatter and learn to watch the mind endlessly create its stories. 

Re-examine your year. What goals did you reach or not? Where do you need to rethink your plans? Review, and get rid of what isn’t relevant.  Wait till after Mercury turns direct to make any new moves.You can chill about being all ready for the New Year your not supposed to be and shouldn’t be.

2017= a #1 year. The year of the Magician. Really sit with the trickster and ask him to be your psychopomp, your guide to all the worlds in 2017. 

Mercury will continue to be in its shadow until it reaches 15+ degrees Capricorn again on January 28th. Then things will really begin to move forwards. 

I have chosen a card to guide you through the Retrograde

Mars in Gemini, Psychopomp androgyny

May 11 Mars in GEMINI until June 24 MENTAL CHATTER

Mars’s in the Twin sign draws us into the mental planes, the airy elemental realms, into thinking, a lot. We will be able to have the eloquence of the tongue, and fluidity of the mind in duality.

We will have our brains flamed.  The Passion will be mind centred, and after all, it’s all in the mind, anyway.  Mercury is consciousness. Everything IS consciousness. There will be endless talking, and questioning, being curious; mucho mental flexibility and changes of mind.

Don’t expect commitments during this time. it is more an enquiry or a debate into what we want/don’t want. 

We’re in for about six weeks of Mercurial Androgynous psychopomp guidance.

Mercury is also in Gemini now. Mercury will go Retrograde May 18 @ 6:40 pm PDT/ 9:40 pm EDT/ May 19 @ 1:40 am GMT.Mercury is Retrograde until June 10th.

Mercury’s Retrograde motion will also have effect on Mars while it is in Gemini.

GEMINI is a much more complex sign that is usually thought of these days. Mercury was originally a psychopomp or guide of souls from this world to the next.

Vision of Hermes Trimestigus by Johfra Bosschart,

What is a psychopomp? They are creatures, spirits, angels or deities in many religions whose responsibility is to escort newly deceased souls into the afterlife. They do not judge, they are there to provide safe passage. They are also associated with birds, whip-poor-wills, horses, ravens, stags, dogs, crows, owls, sparrows, and cuckoos. 

In Jungian Psychology the psychopomp mediates between the unconscious and conscious realms. In dreams, the psychopomp is w wise man or woman, or sometimes a helpful animal. shamans are also psychopomp and they also help initiate souls from the spirit into the physical world at birth. 

PSYCHOPOMPS 

ANUBIS the jackal headed God,first greeted dead Egyptians.  The Egyptian Goddess Hathor, the Milky Way is her sacred breast-milk.  Hekate the Crone Goddess at the crossroads,  Azrael, the Angel of Death in Jewish and Christian mythology is a psychopomp in Islamic Mythology. The Angel Gabriel. The Morrigan, a Celtic shape-shifting Goddess of transitions is known to appear as ravens and crows. The horse Goddess Epona. The Valkyries in Norse myth were also psychopomp’s. Kalma is a Finnish Goddess of the dead. 

Mercury is androgynous, and androgyny is in the news. Androgyny was classically shown as a human with both sexes and it does occur rarely in nature. People born this way were considered to be very powerful psychic beings and revered.

Bruce Jenner’s sex-change means he is becoming an androgyne.. He will be both male and female even if he identifies as female because his body, mind, spirit,DNA and history are still mainly masculine. If Bruce had been born into Native Indigenous cultures when they were intact, he would have been called a twin-spirit and allowed to wear women’s clothes and to do women’s type of chores. He would be considered to be a shaman. 

I wish people would use the androgyne term rather thank transgendered which is a description but not an explanation. Do you know what I mean? 

We all have both masculine and feminine aspects in us anyways. All Males begin life as females and testosterone make them turn into males. The range of more masculine females or more feminine males is purely chemistry, it’s our hormones. The Age of Aquarius which we are entering is an air sign and more androgynous. If one believes in past lives then we may have been a man in a past life and in this one, we are female but the past life memory may make it easier for these women to naturally be stronger, more independent, more masculine.

Androgyny is important in the alchemical work of being whole. Androgyny helps us to incorporate the Beloved within ourselves. This is the true sacred marriage within which attracts the outer beloved.

We will be able to enter the underworld of Hades, the Underworld more easily with Mars in Gemini during the retrograde phase, so set your sites on digging for diamonds in the soul mine.

It’s very important for all of us to go on the shadow journey now and attempt to marry ourselves. Saturn will soon re-enter Scorpio and I predict the 3 month period from mid-June to mid-September to be a time of some of the most intense deepest inner work revelations there will be for a while.

You will likely feel more jittery, stressed and your mind will be racing. You will need to remember to breathe. GEMINI is the lungs. Remember to BREATHE, CONSCIOUSNESS AND THE BREATH ARE ONE.

TIRIEL is the Angel of Mercury. You can call on him to help guide you.

ROB FORD- at Ground zero in Toronto, Tara Greene

Toronto used to be know as TORONTO THE GOOD.

What happened?

ROB FORD got elected by a bunch of conservatives in the amalgamated GTA.  He’s single-handedly – with crack pipe in it, made Toronto the laughing-stock of the world.  1,000 citizens protested at City Hall November 13.

Rob Ford, whose Guardian Angel is AMY WINEHOUSE, ranted and raved and is totally in denial. He’s a psychotic, narcissistic, child buffoon.

Here’s my take on it.

 Rob Ford you are doing  the world a favour because we can see how idiotic this macho, ignorance is. This CANADIAN bacon bespoke,  strutting around like a total ass to everyone’s amazement. The total ego state- everyone  owe’s me attitude which has infected the entire world looks like this. He is a psychopath.  He can’t last much longer. I see him being marched out in handcuffs. He is like a raging bull. His brother Doug and him have been into drugs and gangs since they were teenagers. They  come from a wealthy family. Do you remember the great white north? From SCTV

They were selling limited edition Rob Ford bobble head dolls to raise money for the United Way charity and people lined up from 6:00 a.m. weird.
