JUN of the

SIGNS ARE COLOR CO-ORDINATED TO THEIR ELEMENTS

ARIES-  Jupiter in your 10^th HOUSE of CAREER PEAKS!

A natural Cardinal sign yourself, the Cardinal to Cardinal Square aspect from Jupiter gives you a huge push plus Jupiter is placed in Natural home territory for you, the 10^th house! So manifest peak career times. Go after that promotion. Let your fiery, entrepreneurial side shine forth, start a new business venture or career. Jupiter in Capricorn gives you stability, endurance and patience something you sorely lack. You may actually be able o stick to your New Years resolutions for at least 6 months. Lots of Aries will be chafing at the leash that Saturn/Capricorn places on them. Tine to grow up a bit Aries and get serious, have some serious new beginnings.

TAURUS – Jupiter in your 9^th House

This is the Earth Trine and very beneficial for all you hard working Tauruses. Jupiter is the natural Ruler of the Sagittarius 9^th house, so much philosophizing, religious discipline, structure. Get off the couch and go on a trip not just for business. Exercise your great voice and make commanding speeches. A good time to reeducate or try out some metaphysical courses. Listen to your dreams and Higher Self. A great time to inspire others with a sound down to earth plan. Get disciplined about a diet and exercise as Jupiter can tend to pack on the pounds. Fall in love with an exotic foreigner, a philosopher or poet. Buy foreign real estate or incest in a casino in China. You’ve got the hands on tools now they’re polished up with Legal finesse. Teach your crafty skills, artistic or musical talents to others

Gemini- Jupiter in you 8th House

The 8^th house is the natural Scorpio house. It’s extremely emotional, other people’s money, inheritance, taxes, death and rebirth, sex, intensity, secrets, power, research, psychology & control. Jupiter in Capricorn’s sojourn through your 8th is not light but you need to get some grounding, what with Pluto opposite your sign for the last 12 years. For Gemini’s it’s a great time to be in school and  studying psychology, gambling, traveling, getting serious about handling money, having structure, being patient, letting go of a lot of old DAD issues, and authority issues in general. I know you’re the Eternal Youth, the peur, Peter Pan, but for this year you gotta leave Never Never Land and learn about actualizing your physical body on the Worlds’ stage. Maturity can feel good and help you acquire buckaroonies, finesse with money, be much more magnetic sexually by taking yourself seriously. Take care of business. Make sure you do back taxes.

Cancer-  Jupiter in your 7^th House

In your house of Relationships, committed ones and business partnerships Jupiter expands, brings fertility, optimism, inspiration, the travel bug, start a new business partnership.  Have a huge wedding in an exotic part of the world.  Be prepared to take some calculated risks. You’ll be very likely to meet and fall in love with an older, mature business type, who’s totally opposite you in emotional temperament. He or she will provide well for you but leave the room if you weep, Capricorns are dead scared of emotional displays. Be careful about being overly optimistic in love,or too expressive. Expand business contacts through networking. You will be less emotional this year,more austere. Good time to start a travel adventure business, a gambling casino in China, work in educational fields, sports, publishing. Go through some old recipe books, buy heirloom seeds, good time to make a serious addition to your home. Aging parents will likely move closer or you to them and require more responsibility or go visit some of your relatives who you haven’t seen and have a big family reunion.

Leo- Jupiter in you 6^th house

This is the natural Virgo house placement, one of work, service to others, health, community, perfection, nitpicking, organizing, accounting. So you’ll find yourself able to get out of the limelight and off the stage in a way to take care of the nitty gritty daily  stuff of life in a more organized way this year or hire a manager, accountant, house keeper, etc. If you’re very flush. Watch out for your health, Jupiter is expansion and Saturn is contraction so it may be a roller

Coaster ride in the battlefields of the pounds.  Put your heart into getting organized, expanding your career. Of course you always have to have the spotlight, center stage, be a leader and bask in the Sun and with this one two punch I believe that with a bit of sweat embroidering your bravado- this year will do it for you. Do something big and grand for the environment, while your at it. Getting your manicured nails dirty can look sexy.

Virgo- Jupiter in your 5^th house

The 5^th house is the natural house of Love affairs, children, showing off, Leonine courage, pride, self-expression all things not in the normal Virgoian vocabulary. SO expect this year to be one of experiments, take some risks, stop worrying endlessly about balancing the budget, acting like a nun, being a hypochondriac, working like a slave and have some FUN. Do something daring with your appearance, be frivolous and buy a very sexy expensive dress. Give your heart away to a business or sporty foreigner. Go dancing for fun. This is seriously fertilizing time for you if you want to have children. Loosen up. Take a vacation. You should play as hard as you work at least. Your health should be good this  year. Jupiter in Capricorn is blessing you with a Trine and that can’t be bad anyway you try to slice it and dice it.

Go for the raise. Find work that you love to do. Get an older dog. Stand in front of the mirror and say affirmations out loud. Try to wash your hair less and cheat on your diet a bit.

Libra- Jupiter in your 4^th house

You are also a Cardinal sign so you get the Square aspect from Jupiter guaranteed to get you in action. The 4^th house represents Mom, the womb, early childhood, real estate, safety, security, Cancerian emotion, the stomach. As you naturally are geared to relationships, others, balancing, the arts, entertaining, and not being able to make up your mind and relying on other peoples’ opinions, this year should help you get more grounded about decision making.

A good time to expand and restructure your house, your marriage and all relationships. Learn to say no and mean it. Learn to patiently ponder things and act according to your own dictates. This is a very fertile year especially if you are an older woman trying to get pregnant. Renovate your mind, Libra is an air sign. Get your money out of the market and buy up those foreclosures. Be careful what you eat and stomach problems this year. A good year to move Mom or both parents into your home. Discipline your children, they will respect you for it. Start a home based business. Work with women, the elderly, so legal work, get some new education at home, and travel to a very safe but exotic location. 

Scorpio-  Jupiter in your 3^rd house

The third house is the natural Gemini house of lightness of being, communication, immaturity, restless mental energy, the gift of the gab, again most foreign territory for a Scorpio. SO this year brings change, which his what Scorpio is all about. Publish that dark sexual psychological fantasy murder mystery thriller you’ve had locked in the closet. You’ll be a lot less inclined to be wearing black and be so secretive.  It could be fun to go out and talk about something

completely meaningless and inconsequential. Play trivial pursuit every day as a meditation. This is also the natural house of siblings, and short journeys so you may feel generous enough to forgive your siblings for-beating you, telling on you, getting all the attention for which you’ll never forgive them for, etc. Take lots of local car trips and check out your vicinity. In business you’ll have the gift of the gab and be able to sell anything. Sex and love with more mature,

scallywags, business suits  and exotica are in the picture. Enjoy! Share the power. Read a lot, get up to speed on the latest buzzwords, fads and trends. Cash in on this knowledge savvy and apply it to business.

Sagittarius- Jupiter in your 2^nd house

O.K. fellow Sag’s after last years rocket ride, this is the time to get serious about making money with all your high falutin’ ideas and inspirations. In other words manifest all those higher dreams, write that darn book already, make plenty of money, get your values grounded, buy American or German good quality tools, make or invest in art. Ride on that energy from last year to new financial heights. Write a manifesto. See if your philosophy holds water. Walk your talk. Write a business plan and implement it., get some financial and business coaching, improve your educational skills. Hang out with rich sophisticated well dressed sporty older business types and study their moves. Get a mentor. Define what is really yours and not sponged off of who you met, when. People will want to see you produce. Get some serious business looking clothes. Remember, Bill Gates has Jupiter and Pluto in his natal 2^nd house

and that’s similar enough to what you’ve got this year so act rich think rich, take some calculated risks, be rich, generous, do some business trips, export exotica that no one’s discovered yet.

Capricorn- Jupiter in your 1^st House

O.K. Capricorns, if you’ve done your behind the scenes work last year when Jupiter was in your 12^th and discovered the nature of, and stopped secretly undoing it to yourself, then you can take full advantage of this. This is a New Beginning, a new Ascendant, a new face. This is the 1^st house representing your identity-who you really are. Jupiter In Capricorn affirms who you really are. Stand in front of your mirror and state loudly I AM EXPANSIVE, I GET

The job done, I’m the best one for the job. And try to get more results with LESS WORK this year. I know that this Jupiterian Saggy philosophy is hard for you to understand but it’s Play more. Work less and get paid whatever you Wish, you’ve earned it, you deserve it. This is a rebirth in so many ways. So start new projects, feel inspired again, reach out to others, network , get the word out, brag, start a fitness program, or do yoga. Travel for business

inspiration. Pluto will be following Jupiter into Capricorn for the next 16 years so this is a huge transformative, powerful long time period of reaping the rewards. AS the 1^st house is Aries in Nature, be brash, bold, enterprenurial, start new business projects that are philanthropic, world wide, inspire new business ventures, philosophies and ideas.

Aquarius- Jupiter in your 12^th House

Ah the 12th house, the most spaced out, mystical, dreamy, spiritual, confined, institutional, fantasy, illusion, watery, Neptunian, Pisces, self-undoing, psychic, addictions, photography, film and bliss house. That’s a lot. This one will get you out of your airy revolutionary mind set and into your Feelings and spiritualize you in a very serious way. Finish up all old business. Look at your addictions and strategize how to move the energy into a more positive flow. This is the “Boddhisatva” position. Spend a lot of time doing community work, paying off all old karmic debts, working for the good of all from your heart not just your head. Take a film making or photography course, or just straighten out the mountains of photos you’ve taken. Help build houses, watch your dreams, do an extended yoga or spiritual training. Get psychotherapy, write a fantasy novel. Try to understand and embrace your fellow humans who you love from such a safe distance and be present with their shadows, their and your shortcomings, achieve a place of understanding and compassion for yourself. Jupiter is accidentally in harmony here as it is the exalted ruler of Pisces and the12th house.  Rewards are more internal and behind the scenes for you this year. The inner work is always what matters most and shows the greatest results on the outside. Go inside, connect with Spirit. Join a  spiritualist group or groups. Also very inspiring on the creative side, express yourself with toning, singing, chanting, dance, art, poetry.

            Pisces- Jupiter in your 11^th House

The 11^th house is traditionally the house of wishes hopes and dreams, love received, revolution, Aquarian, Individualism, working with groups, and unconventionality. So, a great year to reap rewards for all your compassionate work. Also a good year to step out of your martyrdom and see it for what it is and set boundaries. A good year to go to rehab-unlike Amy Winehouse. Come out of your closet and let the world give back to you, I know It’s difficulty for you to receive in a practical solid way. Build that Ashram, start that community center, get

Philanthropers to give you money to fund your what they think of as fringy education plans, reforms in medicine,  hospitals, hospices, mental institutions, the way spiritual crises are looked at, holotropic rebirthing and making all of these things and more mainstream. Produce your music, get those art shows, you should be extremely popular.  Organize women centered financial manifestation Goddess energy money and jump start a new economy. Do lectures on the demise of the environment, nature, the oceans, the state of popular films, religious scams, phony Gurus, gather with millions of other like minded revolutionaries and change the world through the Net, using secrets of attraction, Spiritual principles, and quantum physics visualizations as your platform. Invent a revolutionary Power source from water, or through visualization and mantras only. Walk into other dimensions. Change your world and change the whole world for the better. Manifest a structure which enables everyone to feel and know and experience their interconnectedness with all of Nature and life,not just on this planet but throughout the Universe,.

ASTROLOGY UPDATES WEEK OF SEPT 29- OCT 5

Copyright Tara Greene 2008

HI LITES OF THE WEEK

LIBRA NEW MOON MON SEPT 29 @ 1:13 AM PDT/ 4:13 AM EDT/  8:13 AM GMT

This Libra new Moon brings our emotional intuitive reflective feeling sides in tune with the present Solar consciousness. Libra is the sign most concerned with relationships, love, balance beauty peace and harmony and we definitely need that energy right now.

Over the last few weeks we’ve witnessed and unprecedented breakdown and  shift in the U.S. and the World’s Financial markets creating a huge imbalance, generating much fear, anger and debate over how to fix the mess.

Venus is the planet that rules the sign of Libra, she governs values, money, luxury and the arts as well as romance and committed relationships, and as the natural ruler of 7^th house issues, all “others” and business relationships.

New Moon’s are always archetypal new beginnings, and this Libra New Moon turns our attention towards creating a balance in our values, balancing the budget, helping us to judge, as Libra’s scales are equated with the scales of Justice,how to judge fairly.

We need to feel our way and think our way  through these complex issues and ask ourselves.. What is necessary? What is of real value? What contributes to a peaceful harmonious lifestyle?  How have we been living that is out of balance? The ways in which we have used and misused money, depending on other peoples’ influence {a Libra issue to be sure}and how our love of money and greed got us into this mess, threatening to destroy the world’s economies.

The Sabian Symbol of this New Moon @ 7 degrees of Libra is otally on the mark, it counsels us to safeguard and support what we value “ A woman feeding chickens and protecting them from the hawks; the need to face the antagonism of “powers of darkness” as one attempts to feed the mind of as yet helpless and frightened apprentices.”

I do believe that those overpaid, over bonused to the millions CEO’s of all those big Banks and Security companies need to be brought to trial for knowingly creating this fiasco which is causing millions of people to lose their homes.  Just like the Enron scandals, Conrad Black etc. these people need to be made responsible and not bailed out by taxpayer’s dollars. I am not a Republican {although Mr. McCain surprised me by being in a dream I had the other night} and there is great danger in the Federal Reserve and the U.S. Treasury getting carte blanche because those big corporations are the ones who run the show behind the scenes. But something sane to balance the budgets needs to be done. To find out how Sweden steered through a similar crisis years ago read this:

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/23/business/worldbusiness/23krona.html?em

As per what the outcome might look like based on the planets on this New Moon when the “new deal” is supposed to drop.

Venus is presently in Scoprio at 6 degrees. Venus is considered to be “in detriment” in Scorpio she is in Mars’ sign and takes on his more martial angry aggressive masculine characteristics. Scorpio is the Sign of Death, Rebirth and Regeneration. How apropos.

Venus in Scorpio takes us into the depths, into deep emotional territory, the Underworld, the unconscious, the shadow, secrets, power, control, the Sign of the Soul.

Yes and that’s exactly the elements that are going to be parlayed around as the Uncle Sam turns into Mr. $ Fix- It.  Who is running the show and for whose goals?

Neptune , considered to be the “higher octave” of Venus rules illusion, fantasy, glamour,  martyrs, film, photography, oil, spirituality. Neptune rules the Sign of Pisces, the sign of endings, Institutions, and credit cards-illusory $. Neptune at 22 Aquarius moving Retrograde, has been moving in very close quarters with two other important placeholders in the cosmos since March . Neptune has been rubbing shoulders with the North Node at 17 degrees also moving Retrograde and Chiron at 16 degrees also Retro.

The NORTH NODE 

{there is always a South Node exactly opposite} are virtual points that represent the intersection of the Moon’s  orbit with the Earth’s orbit around the Sun, called the Ecliptic.  The nodes are considered to be karmic cycles, the North Node symbolizes the collective’s {and the individuals’s}  highest spiritual goals and aims and the South Node the past, or history.

The North Node spends about a year and a half traveling backwards through each Sign. In Aquarius the North Node is calling us to Higher Consciousness. To see the Big Picture, think from a Higher Perspective, Collectively, Humanitarianly, and to break free and revolutionize old structures.

Chiron is a planetary body with a 50 year elliptical orbit. Chiron discovered in Nov. 1977 symbolizes the wounded healer Archetype.

So to have Neptune conjunct the North Node and Chiron in the Hermetic dictum “as above, so below” reveals that Aquarian humanitarian collective inclusive revolution and breakthrough consciousness is what is needed to cure what ails us right now. We need change, we need to see people as unique individuals, each one of whom counts. We need a collective consciousness and we need to break from old Saturnine traditions-the old boys club. And that’s what looks like is happening to some degree. Barack Obama definitely fills this order.

The down side of Neptune is of course buying into the delusions, the fantasy, the glamour, the credit cards-which I accidentally initially had a Freudian slip with and wrote dredit or dreaded cards. Are the taxpayers-not the corporations who don’t pay tax- going to be the unwilling martyrs in this big time swindle?

Everyone who bought into the mutual funds and the market which held the mortgages as well as the individuals who bought the illusion of a home with no money down, bad credit no problem were wearing the proverbial “rose colored glasses” – a  proverbial Neptunian fashion must-are culpable. But the millions who did not-should not pay for the delusions  and greed of the many or few, depends how you slice and dice it.

TRADING PLACES - HAWKS BECOME DOVES

Mercury is Retro in Libra right now so a rethinking of how to balance the books is also apropos. But as with every Mercury Retrograde lots of talk and maybe no one hears the other one very well. Mars to is in Libra at 26 degrees, and Mars is also weak in Libra as

He is in Venus’s sign as Venus is in Scorpio. But this is a special case, something called “mutual reception.”

The planets of sexuality are temporarily “trading places”  with Venus is in Mars’ house and vice versa. This puts an interesting spin on things. The two planets, male and female, receptive and active, yin and yang understand each others’ perspectuve’s at this time and this bodes well. Doves become hawks and hawks become doves. I just had another Freudian slip and wrote devos instead of doves. HEY THOSE SLIPS ARE GREAT!

It’s a perfect fit.

THE NEPTUNIAN SONG FOR THIS NEW MOON-

IT’S A BEAUTIFUL WORLD by DEVO

IT’S A BEAUTIFUL WORLD WE LIVE IN

A SWEET ROMANTIC PLACE

BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE EVERYWHERE

                  MOST WELCOME, PLEASE EMAIL ME.

AMERICA'S  FINANCIAL MELTDOWN

So Mr. BU ll SH it came on TV tonight Sept 24 08 to plead with the ordinary American folks {read suckers} that America needs their tax dollars to bail out the “Securities” companies/Banks read LOANSHARKS who foisted on the World those shady loans-no money down, don’t pay a cent till…. No credit no problem deals or else the U.S. Economy and the rest of the World re China, Europe etc. etc. who bought into it the swill  will Go Down the drain in a cesspool of a depression. Been 'dere done 'dat before, like, 79 years ago.

Before he “leaves the building” supposedly in Jan 09 he’s making sure all his buddies get a high stake of the $700,000,000,000 yep that’s 11 zero’s. Hah! Those little hard workin’ “honest” folks, who probably don’t have enough extra cash to play the markets, mutual funds, hedge funds etc. in the first place now get to foot the bill of the money managers. Will the people get to vote on it? Probably not because this is a state of FINANCIAL EMERGENCY! Ding! Ding! Ding!

This is Financial TERRORISM!  Just like he said after 911 everyone has to “keep shopping” everyone must have credit cards, shiny new cars, and keep America going ever and always into debt.

Shouldn’t the mafia brokers have to pay from their own pockets? Didn’t they make a bundle? Are the C.E.O.’s being fired for bad management?  This in my opinion is worse than Enron, the Valdez going down, Watergate and 911 put together.

If you have a mortgage at a bank, the bank owns your house. But if the Feds own the banks and your mortgage the government owns your home. Talk about “homeland security.”  Does this give them the right to do whatever they want? Has anyone read the fine print?

There's trouble my friends, right here in River City, Trouble with a Capital T,

that rhymes with P that stands for Paulson and the U.S. Treasury Department.

And what about the Federal Reserve? You know it’s a private bank, it is not part of the Government. It’s the Rockerfeller’s, you know the Billdenberg’s  and the secret rich who run the whole shebang anyways. This is the 2^nd act after 911, the Secret Financial Government is planning to take over everything. I’ve even read that Obama was outlining volunteer programmes, like the make work programs in the Depression, for all those unemployed people who’re going to be growing real fast.

Looking back in History over the last 18 years- a Lunar cycle since 1990 a BUSH was the Pres. The Clinton for 8 years, the BUSH again. We’ve had 12 years of being Bush whacked by the New World Order preparing for lockdown now.

Obama McCAin it doesn’t matter it’s all the same. Only Ron Paul seems to have any sanity and he’s a Republican I believe he's running as an Independent in this Election. And how quick we are to forget that there's been no democratic elections in the U.S. for the last 8 years so why do you think there’d be one now? Duh...

The Feds taking over the banking system, securities system etc. is not socialist communist or anything like that. It's Fascist it's New World Order. Yes they want all the nations to get together to figure out how they're all going to work together making way for One World Fascist Order or

O.W.F. O. { it'll be owfo for most people} whose motto will be

'RUN PER PAUCI, PRO PAUCI, IN TERGUM QUOD SUDO OF PLERUSQUE" translated as

" run by the few for the few, on the backs and sweat of the very many."

America is moving fast towards a Fascist violent “Democorruptic” nation, playing “bankrupt.” The old boys at the top have so much money in their secret coffers they probably light their cigars with $10,000 notes. Which if you didn't know is worthless anyways as it is not backed up by gold.

If you want to understand what Dollars really are- read this very interesting article. 

http://www.gold-eagle.com/editorials_05/kirby062806.html

MAKE WAY FOR THE AMERO!

Sounds like a knock off of a U.S. car that was made in Yugoslavia in the Soviet Era.

And anyways they have to bankrupt their Economy to pave the way for the AMERO,

How come NO one talks about this in Canada or the U.S.!  It’s already been minted in Denver of all places. Sometime soon Canada and Mexico-I thought they hated Mexicans in the U.S.- will join hands in a lovely tri-country holding tank with one currency, O.K. so we’ll be the North American Union facing off with the EU.

And what happens to the U.S. debt when all 3 countries merge? I’m a Canadian, not crowing about being a Canadian because that’s not the Canadian way. We rub about 8,000 km’s of shoulder against the U.S. They’re only 100 miles away from Toronto where I sit writing this..

What happens to the value of a “loonie?” That’s what Canadian $1 coinage is affectingly referred to up here, because there’s a loon embossed on it.

So I decided to take a look at the Federal Reserve Birth Chart 

The Federal Reserve was voted into being by Congress on Dec 23 1913 I’ve used Noon as I do not have an accurate time and this is commonly used for Hi Profile Public events and persons.

When I saw the chart with the current transits I was blown away.

The Federal Reserve chart has the Sun at 1 degree+ of Capricorn- the Patriarchal, status quo, all business, corporate, seniority, earthy sign -  1 degree away from the Winter Solstice degree, the power gate and World Stage point.

It has it’s Pluto- Pluto is lord of Power, Control, Secrecy, Death, Rebirth directly opposite it’s Sun at ZERO degrees of Cancer {Retrograde} That is also the Summer Solstice Point where the sun is at the Highest point in the Northern Hemisphere June 21st. These 2 points are 2 of the 4 major Solar turning points of the year. And what’s the Sun always been symbolized and associated with?

GOLD.  

The placement of these 2 “planets” in Astrology terms is amazing enough. If the Sun is actually a huge atomic furnace, Pluto rules Atomic energy. The opposition of these 2 is like the Sun and a mirror of the sun a “Black Sun” as it were. It’s a counterbalance of the Source of all Light and the Source of Death. That is the Federal Reserve chose consciously or unconsciously to symbolize Birth and Death, the ALpha and Omega, the Be all and End all,as it were and thinks that way about itself!

The current Transit of Pluto-Lord of Destruction and Resurrection/ Recycling/ waste, is sitting directly on the High Noon of the Fed’s birth chart at 29 degrees of Sagittarius right now.  This is of course conjunct the Galactic Center making me think that what author Stuart Wilde’s been saying about the ” fat controllers on earth being given orders by trans-dimensionals” may not be incorrect.

The Mid Heaven or High Noon position symbolizes the World’s stage. So, the Fed Reserve is perfectly poised to take total control of the U.S.’s  riches, through destruction, waste, poverty, did I forget to mention secrets?

Amazingly enough the Fed Reseve is having Pluto opposite it’s own Pluto right now. This is a Power balance.

And if that weren’t enough Pluto is also exactly Square to the Fed’s Ascendant/ Descendent exactly at this moment. SO Pluto is in control all the way through this right now, demoted or not, I think that everyone gets their marching orders from the top, who funds Astronomers anyways? SO downplaying Pluto diminishes, and makes Pluto seem less powerful.

The Moon in a chart represents the People and the hapless people are in Scorpio, being manipulated ruthlessly {ruled by guess who? -Pluto in the 8th house, natural house of guess what?- Pluto.

Mars the drive, action and defenses of this chart is in the 4th house, which usually represents the home, security, safety, protection and nurturing. Mars, symbol of everything Male traditionallr rules-guess which sign? Scorpio. Mars is in Cancer, the Sign of the U.S.  Mom apple pie, etc.  

This is the war God Mars, in the Sign associated with home and security, this is like having a war in the house.  Mars is Trining { an easy aspect} the Moon, so the Moon, symbolizing the instincts, emotions, sentiment, the people are easy pickings for the warrior, read Mars the wolf in sheep’s closing.

Jupiter the planet of Royalty, doing it big, risk taking, foreigners, the law is in Big Business mode in Capricorn at 23 degrees.Jupiter is opposite Mars showing a Big Bucks Warrior in the 11th house associated with groups, humanity.

Neptune the “higher octave” of Venus, she who rules copper, money, beauty. Neptune rules fantasy, illusion,delusion, addictions, drugs, oil, glamour, ruler of Pisces it is the planet of martyrs, scapegoats. Neptune rules plastic money, credit cards. Neptune is in the 5th house {always of a Leo nature}of creative self expression, ME, the child, leadership, generosity, the actor, drama, also in Cancer.  Neptune is opposite Jupiter, oppositions fuse the 2 energies,so BIG FANTASY,

about money, glamour, big homes, delusion, illusions, martyrs. Get the picture?

The Fed’s North Node  {glyph looks like headphones}or highest goal, usually your spiritual goal, but there is none behind the Fed’s, is at 18 degrees of Pisces in the 12th house. Pisces and the 12th house are Neptune’s territory once again. The 12th house is the house of karma, secret enemies, endings, institutions, fantasy, delusion, self-undoing, addictions, etc.

And Uranus the planet of “Expect the unexpected” and revolution, just went over that exact degree in March and will stop Retrograding and move direct a few minutes from that degree once again on November 27th  {a day after Pluto enters Capricorn till 2023. Planets changing direction are extra powerful. Pluto entering Capricorn the sign of Big Business and Corporations for the next 15 years look like Power for the rich, the Plutocracy.

Saturn is in Gemini in the 3^rd house of communications and Retrograde. Retrograde planets are karmic. Saturn is in Gemini sign of the twins, double-talk, ambivalence,

Communications, so Saturn sounds mature, reasonable, and businesslike but in the sign of Gemini it’s double-speak.

Saturn Lord of Karma, obstacles, delays, responsibilities, tests, limitations, Capricorn, {and Aquarius traditionally] rules depressions, poverty, restrictions, prisons will reach 18 degrees 27 minutes and 59 seconds of Virgo shortly on Oct 30^th and precisely conjunct the South Node of the Fed’s chart and exactly opposes the North Node.

Saturn is practical it’s the reality slap in the face. What you sow you shall reap is Saturn’s motto. So what the Fed’s have sown-they’ll reap in spades now through fantasy glamour, illusions, delusions, addiction to consume more, did I mention manipulating oil prices? at the expense of the All.

Transiting Saturn is also just now Squaring {a 90 degree angle} its natal position. This is a high-pressure signature and a nailing down of Corporate business heavies, requiring the humans, and those in your immediate neighborhood  {3^rd house and Gemini is a human sign} to carry the lead weight of a financial coffin, deficit.

So, this is a warning, the gov. is going to strangle all the poor folks with this debt load. Don’t buy into it. Uranus is also the planet of Revolution and freedom, rise up Americans! Don’t take this lying down. I’ve heard from Alex Jones and his ilk that they’ve been building massive prisons all over the U.S. Prisons are also a commodity on the U.S. stock exchange, meant to make investors a profit. They need prisoners, so also be careful because if you do take to the streets that’s exactly what they want, you to fill up their prisons.

Usually I write on a very high-inspired spiritual tone. But I am also aware of the dangers. If I offend some here, I am willing to take that risk. I’m trying to wake people up from their slumber. You don’t need to live in debt, if you can’t afford it don’t go there. Simplify your life. Make do with less. You’ll have to anyways.

Don’t be a slave. And if you’re a Bible Belter, a Sarah Palin  supporter, well didn’t Jesus throw the money-lenders out of the Temple? Your home is your temple, and now the money lenders are throwing you out of your homes.  Don’t believe the we’re doing it for our “America’s better interests and the World’s. I’m not an American I can’t really do anything directly to affect your countries policies, but your policies will affect my countries, so get up off the couch, stop caring what Britney Spears is doing, notice what wool is being pulled over your eyes now.  

ASTROLOGY UPDATES

SEPT 15- SEPT 22 AUTUMN EQUINOX

COPYRIGHT TARA GREENE 2008

Hi Y’all,

Sorry for disappointing you in not writing regularly since August it’s true. I needed a vacation and my family and I drove to the beautiful Maritime Provinces of Canada, visiting Nova Scotia and Cape Breton Island, which are very beautiful.

I am under a pretty heavy Saturn transit these days, with Saturn presently just past squaring my Natal Moon in Sagittarius. Saturn is of course the great tester, teacher, maturer. So caring a big lead weight around is kind of what its felt like. On the exact hit of Saturn to my natal Moon at 12 degrees+ of Virgo my Uncle passed away.

I did write quite a lengthy piece on the recent CERN firing up in Geneva on Sept 10-cee CERN page.  SO let’s get you all up to date and running. We’re almost at the Autumn Equinox so I’ll include that too.

HI LITES OF THE WEEK

Sept 15 PISCES FULL MOON 2:14 am PDT/ 5:14 am EDT 9:14am GMT

MULTIPLE GRAND TRINES FROM THE MOON !

THE FULL MOON at 22 degrees of PISCES marks an ending of a cycle. This seems very appropriate as we are but a week away from the Autumn Equinox which begins another cycle in the quarterly turning of the year’s seasons.

THIS FULL MOON has renegade planet URANUS conjunct the MOON so emotions will be scattered, electrified, high wired, with the ability to see the Big Picture and access

Breakthrough Consciousness. EXPECT the Unexpected to turn up on your doorstep and you’ll be prepared.  Emotional eruptions, high tides, unexpectedly large amounts of rain,

electrical storms, hurricanes-as we see from Gustav et al are currently in the rotation.

This is the Harvest Moon and in Pisces it encourages reflection, meditation, flow, and have compassion for what was and hasn’t yet been completed since Spring when new seeds were sown. Imagination runs high and wild on this Full Moon, it’s time to Revolutionize and vote for freedom at these times.

All three of the outer planets aspect this Moon as they did on the Aug 16 Lunar Eclipse.

NEPTUNE  at 22+ degrees of Aquarius Qunicunx’s {150 degrees away} the Sun at 22+

degrees of Virgo whilst semi-sextiling {30 degrees} the Moon.

Qunicunx’s and semi-sextiles are considered to be minor aspects but take on greater significance when an outer planet is involved which moves more slowly, and these effects are intensified by the electromagnetic pull of a Full Moon. These aspects are like cattle prods, annoying us just enough to make subtle but significant shifts in attitudes.

Neptune is the ruler of this Pisces Fullness so the Final Dispositor of it as well as Trining Mercury {consciousness} which rules Virgo where the Sun is, strengthening the opportunities now to combine thinking with feeling, the head and the heart with faith, and to help make dreams {Pisces} reality {Virgo}.

URANUS of course, opposed the Sun {ego and identity} Uranus is akin to the FOOL in the Tarot, a Cosmic Wild Card attempting to wake us all up.

PLUTO now moving direct since Sept 8^th is at 28 degrees + of Sagittarius, but still   within range of the Galactic Center’s massive Black Hole. Pluto is prepping to head for Capricorn on Nov. 26 where he will remain till 2023!

PLUTO LORD of the Underworld, the shadow and Unconscious SQUARES the Sun and Moon. . Pluto is almost at the very last “Critical” degree of Sagittarius {which it will occupy as of Oct. 22^nd} considered the last stand, turning point for any sign. Pluto at the Galactic Center has always been a harbinger for scientific discoveries, so the CERN start up is totally in tune with that timing now.

Pluto extends the duration of the strength of the Sun-Uranus Opposition {in effect since Sept. 12^th} to a few days after the 20^th, when the Sun forms an exact Square with Pluto.

Pluto is generating a mutable T-square to Uranus the Sun and Moon now. This is a high-powered octane fuelled rocket ride into a new world. If you have natal planets in mid to late degrees of Gemini Virgo or Sagittarius and Pisces you will feel the impact more so.

A PLUTONIC square such as this one, in these degrees, and especially with Uranus and Neptune involved make us act. We cannot ignore our shadows no more. We know consciously or unconsciously what does not work, what is decaying, rubbish, refuse, garbage, no longer serves our Higher Selves in all aspects of life. Pluto is the harbinger of truth, and the great recycler, culling the old to make way for the new.

We see the shadows of our projections, our fears, our scapegoating everywhere in politics, the Russians invading the state of Georgia, racism, sexism, consumerism, cheating, lying,

Speculating, etc. etc. WE must own all our own shadows, nothing truly exists outside of ourselves that is not within us.

WE need to change or we will be changed, If you aren’t a conscious agent of change for the betterment then you will be left feeling like you’re a victim. We all carry our stories, our woundings, that “they” did it to us. To be aware, awake and free we have to take responsibility, choose our power, to back up ourselves in spite of whatever damage we have suffered, lest we keep unconsciously inflicting it on ourselves or others. It’s time to wake up from the Sado-Masochistic Nightmare. The buck stops here.

I always find it funny how world events, literally give us their deeper meanings if you look for it.

THE ECONOMY

Well, unfortunately for millions of former homeowners, financial institutions, shareholders and investors, Lehman Brothers etc.  THE BUCK LITERALLY IS STOPPING HERE.

Pluto represents evolution and Uranus revolution. These 2 planets are approaching a square to each other, within 8 degrees, heralding another unprecedented era of social, political and global transformation.

THE 60’s ALL OVER AGAIN

Just like the tumultuous 60’s, which Astrologers attribute the outer planets Uranus and Pluto’s three exact conjunctions in 1965-66 at 16 –17 degrees of Virgo to be the tripping off point of the tripping that followed, with the two planets remained a few degrees apart throughout much of that decade.

Saturn will be reaching 16 and 17 degrees of Virgo by mid October, galvanizing the karma of what was seeded in the 60’s. Saturn was then in Pisces opposing Pluto and Uranus at 11 to 15 degrees, and Saturn is now also approaching the opposition to that time period.

In 1978-79 Saturn was in Virgo covering the same ground as now.

Children born during 65-66 are now approaching their Saturn opposition, as well as having just had Uranus opposing their Natal Uranus Pluto conjunctions.

and those born in the late 70’s are having their first Saturn return.

NOW the 2 planets will make SEVEN exact squares to each other between 2012 and 2015 at 8- 15 degrees of Aries and Capricorn.

By 2009 in the summer Uranus and Pluto will be within 6 degrees of a square and by 2010 they will be 4 degrees apart, by 2011 less than 2 degrees away from that square- each year pushing on the collective to manifest the visions of the 60’s.

Fasten your seat belts it’s going to be a bumpy ride.

888 CONTINUED  AUG 26 2008!

AND YET ANOTHER CHANCE TO TUNE INTO 888 at an even higher vibration.

I was sent an email by someone who alerted me to this opportunity to tune into 888 today!

 AUG 26 2008  8/2+ 6 = 8/ 08

She said:

There is a third opportunity, the highest vibration of 888, "8-26-2006", it will be a 44/8 Master vibration.  I'm not exactly sure why she says it's a 44 Master Vibe, except that I held that Aug 8 and Aug 17 2006 were "pure" additions of 888 and Aug 8 and Aug 17th 2008 also fit into that numerological structure.

She says she knows because she is an "888", being born 8-26-1970.  She says she is an Indigo Child,and fully awakened to the subconscious.  She says she lives "888" naturally everyday. 

She also adds that the name of God IHVH is "26" anyone in grade 2 can do the math. ALL THAT IS/God/Goddess is INFINITE. I thank her for the email alert!

888 RITUAL HEALING INFINITY CEREMONY

I would advise tonight at 8:00 pm in whatever time zone you are, to take 8 minutes and meditate on the nature of a Triptich, a thrice drawn Infinity.

Take some slow deep breaths, center yourself. Bring your focus breath and concentration into your heart.

Then when you feel ready,

Visualize the infinity symbol moving from your heart upwards to the left above and over your head and turning back into your heart then turning towards the right and below you and returning to your heart. This is for the Hermetic Dictum " As above, so below."

Then visualize the Infinity symbol moving from your heart,in front of you, to the left and returning to your heart and then moving to the right and round again back to your heart behind you, for the future and the past, making a wholeness, a completeness. You are centered in the present. All time is NOW.

Then put yourself and the whole world into the infinity space.  Stay in your heart in that Triple Infinity space.

Intend that you are in Infinity,

say aloud or in your mind "I AM AN INFINITE BEING" 

realize that  you in fact, are Infinity be- ing.

Feel your connectedness with all, to all that is.

As an Infinite Being you are beyond all limitations, beyond your ego and humaness, you have expanded your heart and consciousness without limit, beyond the finite.

From that enlarged never ending space, soak in the calm, the peace, balance, love, wholeness and completeness. Breathe deeply, stay in that space of Infinitude.

You may ask questions,

As an Infinite Being, how have I limited myself? my beliefs?

my heart?

What actions do I need to take to manifest the Infinite in my life?

Ask to be able to hold an INFINITE HEART SPACE with every breath, every thought, every action.

Namaste!

Astrological Updates Aug 1^st – Aug 8^th

Copyright Tara Greene 2008

Hi everyone, if you’re a regular reader of this column, you’ve noticed that I haven’t updated in a couple of weeks. I wish I could say I’ve been on vacation and taking time out, in reality {with Saturn squaring my Sun now} I have been working like crazy, which is a good thing.

UPCOMING ASTRO HI- LITES of the august month of August

AUGUST 1st TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE -10:13 am GMT/ 3:13 am PDT/ 6:13 am EDT

August begins with a big bang with this Solar Eclipse occurring at 9 degrees of Leo 31 minutes. The Total Eclipse of the Sun will be visible mainly only over a narrow band at the North Pole, making this a magnetic North Eclipse. Pole shifts anyone? Part of the Eclipse will be visible on the Eastern Coast of Canada. As Eclipse run in cycles this one is Saros Series # 126.

All Eclipses mark turning points of change. The Ancient feared Total Eclipses of the Sun seeing them symbolically as harbingers of the forces of evil, darkness or chaos-symbolically personified as a dragon eating the Sun. The dragon imagery, so prevalent in China, and with the Olympics opening in 7 days on 8,8/8 the 8 8 8 was very carefully

chosen for the auspiciousness of the Feng Shui numbers, 8 being the number of all the directions, symbolizing wealth, fortune, and prosperity and this eclipse seems to tie in to their new entrance onto the worlds stage in a big dramatic Leonine way.

Remember that Communist Capitalist new China has a 5,000 year old unbroken line of history which it draws its great strength from. So sandwiched before and during the Chinese Olympics we have 2 eclipses occurring.

August 1^st Lughnasad

Pagan Celebration of the South West Cross Cardinal Direction

This is one of the Ancient Pagan Celebrations of turning the Wheel of the Year. We are at the halfway point of the Summer Solstice and the Autumn Equinox, The Sun King is preparing to die, the crops are ripe but not yet harvested. In order to harvest, there is sacrifice, it is a time to honor the waning of the Light. It is a time when participants ask what do they hope to harvest. A Solar Eclipse is definitely a waning of the Light.

Let’s stick with this Solar Eclipse first.

LEO the Lion is the Sign most associated with what the cowardly lion most wanted—Courage. Actors, drama, pageantry, big shows, extravagance, royalty, the heart, love given, children, creative self-expression, will power. The Sign of Leo, ruled by the Sun itself,  represents the journey of discovering and expressing our own Light. At this Solar Eclipse as the Sun is darkened we are drawn into the shadows and darkness to discover the hidden Light, the indestinguishable Light, the eternal Source, the Sacred Fire within.

Leo’s ruler is The Sun, so the Sun is totally empowered when in Leo, no wonder Leo’s feel themselves to be the center and Kings and Queens of the Universe-they are truly stars.

Eclipses of the Moon or Sun can only occur when the Luminaries are in close proximity to the North and South Nodes of the Moon.

These Nodes are still referred to by their ancient designations as the Dragon’s Head-North node and the Dragon’s Tail- the South Node- back to those dragons-that’s why they were considered to be eating the Sun or the Moon.

The SOUTH NODE represents the past, karma, the path of least resistance. It’s where we fall easy prey to our habits, where we fall into unconsciousness.

The NORTH NODE is our aims, our highest spiritual goals and calling, it’s our hopes and dreams, what we intend to transform, hope and aspire to.

ALL ECLIPSES SIGNAL MAJOR CHANGE.

This particular Eclipse points out very clearly and ymbolically where we’re at, what issues, areas and conditions need to, and will be changed now.

THE SUN being Eclipsed by the Moon creates a change in the electro-magnetic fields, animals are very sensitive to these changes, so watch your pets carefully during this time.

Leo's negative side, the dark side, is the EGO-the King, the tyrannical ruler.

As the Sun’s Light darkens, as the Life giving force of all Life on earth is blanketed, blotted out and engulfed in shadow by the Moon, the Sun comes under the Feminine Force Field. The Sun merges into it's own Shadow. The Masculine power force which ignites Life, is engulfed by it’s opposite power the Feminine.

Therefore Solar Eclipses are a real and potent symbol of the ALCHEMICAL MARRIAGE.

The Ego- the False King- the Emperor, loses its power, at a Total Eclipse. We see the Sun dis- empowered, vulnerable, naked, endarkened. It's scary when the Light goes out.  We collectively are able to be like the innocent child who can see honestly and clearly that the Emperor Ain’t wearing any clothes. So the Sun is infallible, it can be weak too. This is a very good thing. 

All SOlar Eclipses symboliz the extinguishing of the ego. It is a Death and Reborth show.

The high side of Leo is generosity and creative leadership, benevolent power, courage to defend the weak, helpless and innocent; pageants of the heart; theatre, the arts and drama which gives hope and will, and rewards the highest ethics. The cult of the Knight in shining armour, or the Grail Knights would be one example of this type of behavior in our history. Instead of the incessant spoon feeding and dumbing down of adults, teens and children with self-serving, ego based values, a change in values based on strength of character, will and heart. This would mean the end of violence in the media-video games, movies and television; the end of pornography; gambling; abuse and sexualizing of children; shameless aggrandization of movie stars, sports heroes, rock stars; excess, bigger, better, competition, keeping up with the media’s programming of style, fashion, being rich and famous, craving constant attention, being special, chosen, wielding power, the cult of the masculine  always omnipotent SUN-hero.

As the energetic matrices are opened for a few minutes during the Solar Eclipse new patterns emerge. LEO is the sign of courage which we need to have a lot of in order to listen to one’s heart, it takes will power to walk your own path of truth and not be part of the herd mentality. It takes resolve, inspiration, passion, daring, being generous to oneself, to say I am the Queen or King of my own life, without falling into the ego but living your life from a heart centered perspective, to live the life that is your own, that you can creatively self-express in order to love more.

On July 30, 2000 there was a solar Eclipse at 8 degrees 11 mins, of Leo very close to this one. What was important to you then will get another opportunity to take it higher and expand.

The BABY BOOMERS were all born with Pluto in Leo {1939-1955} and another generation was born with Uranus in Leo { 1955-1962} millions of people will experience this eclipse and the following Aug 16^th Lunar eclipse in Aquarius very strongly as it activates their cellular memories of their heart mission, their fears {Pluto} as well as the need to break from tradition and be living revolutionaries and agents of change. You know that the 60’s were instigated by the conjunction of Pluto and Uranus in Virgo.

HOW THIS AFFECTS YOU PERSONALLY

LEO’s -

If you have planets or angles within 5 degrees of the eclipse-4 degrees-14 degrees of Leo you get the biggest impact with the conjunction.

SCORPIO< AQUARIUS< TAURUS

If you have planets or angles 4-14 degrees of  Fixed Signs Scorpio and Taurus you get the Square - the kick in the butt to change.  This means you if you are -

Scorpios born Oct 27^th - Nov 7^th

^{and Taurus’s} born –April 25^th- May 5^th.

AQUARIUS –

Aquarius’s born Jan 24- Feb 3^{rd get the pull of the opposition.}

^{WHO GETS LUCKY?}

^{Fire Signs- Sagittarius and Aries- get the Lucky TRINE-that’s a smooth transition into change}

^{ARIES born March 25th – April 4th}

^{SAGITTARIANS Nov 26 – Dec 6th –{this includes moi!}}

^{Don’t feel left out if your sign wasn’t mentioned. Everyone gets affected.}

^{PLANETS at  THIS ECLIPSE-}

At this Solar Eclipse Mercury is very closely aligned with the Sun and Moon and the South Node of the Moon. Mercury in Leo shows how our consciousness and thinking is changing as we witness the decline of the ego, it’s fall from power. We see demonstrated how the Moon, the Feminine the goddess can simply put her veils of mystery over the Moon and take away the Sun’s light. The Reign of the Goddess gets one more announcement.

Venus is also in the mix in Leo at 24 degrees but too far off in degrees to be considered in aspect by conjunction. Still that’s a potent 5 planets/node in Leo.  Venus is opposite her Higher

Octave Planet Neptune at the Eclipse. They cane asily combine harmoniously to Take it Higher. 

Venus ruler of Love, values, money, the arts, building, persevering, relationships, as ruler of both Taurus and Libra asks us how do we separate our egos and our values. What do we really value? What is worth treasuring? Baubles? SUV’s? Is money more important than love?  Leo is symbolically the house of children, so we need to question how we are bringing up our children. Are we teaching to value what is really important? How do we break down the ego boundaries that keep us from being fully loving courageous people?

At the opposite end of the Dragon, the Head-the North Node @ 18 degrees + has Chiron the Wounded Healer at 19 degrees and Retrograding and Neptune at 23 degrees of Aquarius and Retrograde conjunct that.

The NORTH NODE in Aquarius conjunct Chiron shows us where the wounds are, what needs to be healed, where we are most vulnerable? Chiron in Aquarius asks us to question how much technology {Aquarian inventiveness} is helping or harming us. The recent final admittance that cell phones cause brain cancer, a fact that has been so obvious to anyone who had any common sense these last 15 years or so since cell phone got more popular. Do the math. Radiation in the cell phone+ long exposure to the side of your head =causes brain tumors.

CHIRON in Aquarius also shows us how if we adopt Aquarian idealism, new technologies and new holistic thoughts that we can together get to create the real Age of Aquarius one based on individual pursuits of freedom, instead of sameness, inclusiveness vs. exclusiveness, a spirituality which allows people to have their own unique self-empowering and intelligent experience of the Great Mystery, not power of authoritarian Leo religions. 

NEPTUNE here also points to SPIRIT, to dreams, to healing, to fantasy, art, music, alternatives, drugs, bliss, endings, escapism, viruses. L, and our wounds in relationship to oil, and how new technologies cannot be deployed fast enough, Technologies which have been around since the 20’s by the way but which Henry Ford destroyed because they weren’t capitalist and corporate enough to make investors rich.  Nicola Tesla’s electrical inventions took free electrical energy from the earth. The technology s there, wind power, solar power, water etc. Neptune rules credit cards, which is fantasy money, showing how we cannot pursue the dream of living like Kings and Queens in suburban dream castles unless we can afford it-the mortgage meltdown in the U.S. I am sorry for the people who lost their homes, but they believed that illusion, they didn’t read the fine print; they were caught in the dark side of Neptune-denial.

So lets look at our wounds and our vulnerabilities, our illusions, delusions, our ego attachments, our sense of needing to have it all, to live in thrall to our ego’s desires and be subjugated to them.

PLUTO is at the GALACTIC CENTRE now on this eclipse, this is really the last chance last chance saloon here and now. Tune in tune in and tune in, Venus, Goddess of harmony, beauty and balance trines Pluto, making it easy for us to discover our own inner beauty and peace.

SATURN is Trining JUPITER as well, enabling new more expansive structures for care taking of the earth’s resources, for Governments and corporations to restructure and work towards service to others.

MARS in Virgo at 18 degrees is opposite URANUS in Pisces, Retrograde at 22 degrees. Mars in Virgo urges us to act and work hard, to tighten our belts-Virgo’s love budgets, we’re all going through the belt tightening as the harvest of raw materials gets tighter. Mars’ opposition to Revolutionary Uranus is like an armored truck of Virgo practical necessity and accountability being opposed to Uranian wired raw electricity, new technologies whose purpose is in Pisces fashion, for all, distributed freely! Oppositions are complimentary.

Let this Solar Eclipse be a true harbinger of the death of EGO, authorities, kings, queens and those who assume their power through thinking they are higher up the ladder than anyone else.

Let us flow with the Moon, as the Goddess's power of reflection, and receptivity  takes us into our feelings, our emotions, our hearts, and choose to change whether we make our decisions from heart or ego, love or will. Carl Jung said that love and fear - which is where the desire for power over originates from; that love and power cannot co-exist, the urge for power cancels out love and love conquers fear.

^{Allow change to move you.} Stop your mental chattering and the false ego’s demands to do more, have more, be the only one, me mine, special, first. The ego is always threatened by death. True spirituality, which we all are, spirits in temporary bodies in the 3D earth density, is magnificently so much more than the tiny egos demands. Spirit knows no fear of limitation, lack, there is no death save the egos death. The ego will keep you imprisoned. NAtive Anericans have a saying that it is a good day to die, a spiritual maxim is Die before you die, and this eclipse is a good day to let your ego die.

In one of my favourite author’s Stuart Wilde latest books, The Art of Redemption, Stuart explains that the only way to truly become enlightened and free is to ditch your ego, fall from the ego’s ivory tower, so that you can be humble, compassionate, kind, embrace your shadow side and free your Soul from competing and all kinds of other invisible tyrannies.

This is the time of Redemption. Whether you see the eclipse or not, do a ceremony on this day.  IT should embody and reflect the  ^{THE SABIAN SYMBOL of this Eclipse-}

^{“ Early morning dew sparkles as sunlight floods the field; the exalted feeling that rises with in the soul of the individual who has successfully passed through the long night which has tested his strength and his faith.”}

^{So what do you love to do? How can you express your heart and soul more fully? How can you dance your heart into everything you do? How can work become play? How can we see that we are all actors on the stage? What kind of show or drama are you living? A soap opera? a game show? Make your life over in a creative fashion; do not hesitate to express your heart’s true feelings. Bring more humor and joy into your life. As the eyes and hands of God/Goddess you are the Life force of God/dess embodied, waiting to be lived through you.}

^{A quote from the famous Astrologer Dane Rudhyar “ When you don’t follow your nature, there is a hole in the universe where you were supposed to be.”}

                 Hi LITES of the Week – Mercury & Venus change signs and watch out!

MARS CONJUNCT SATURN on July 10 @ 11:12 am PDT/ 2:12 pm EDT/ 6: 11 pm GMT

MERCURY ENTERS CANCER on July 10 @ 1:17 pm PDT/ 4:17 pm EDT/ 8:17 pm GMT

           VENUS ENTERS LEO on July 12 @ 11:39 am  PDT/ 2:39  am EDT/ 6:39 pm GMT

A pretty busy week.

Mars the testosterone driven warrior planet of aggressive and defensive maneuvers slams into Saturn the  csmic cop, ruler of all things heavy-limitations, obstacles, metals, especially lead, discipline, authority, the status quo, corporations, maturity and seriosity in general.

     These two planets known as the grand malefics in  traditional  

     Astrology bode not well. These terrible two  cause people to act  out, like enfant terribles with those terrible two’s  temper tantrums . So do be extra careful  of road rage, aggressive driving, accidents, feeling low down and depressed, as Mars activates that Saturnine state. A good wallop of reality checking going on. Aggressive enemies- Iran fires off missiles in a very aggressive show of Martial seriousness to the world. As Saturn is always karmic, a big dose of pay your debts now, more foreclosures, market misery, tax issues, and old karmic enemies showing up in your life. One showed up in my life. It wasn’t pleasant.

How to work positively with this energy? Mars and Saturn together in Virgo symbolize a hot foot to get going aggressively about acting to clean up the environmental {VIRGO} messes of the world. Also aggressively disciplining yourself in your diet and health regimes.  Also drought conditions, chafing against restrictive laws- news from Britain about protesting against more and more Government surveillance throughout Britain.

MERCURY IN CANCER -  EAT YOUR WORDS,

YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT

Later on the 10^th Mercury waltzes into Cancer for a quick step for only 16 days or so. Mercury in Cancer points to thinking from and through our stomachs, to what feeds us literally and emotionally. What’s on our minds and in the news now is security, home, family, comfort, eating/food, children, Mothering/ fertility, safety, shelter, real estate, privacy, reflecting, expectations.

You are what you eat is the old ‘60’s adage.

So be very conscious of what you put in your stomach now and how your words and inner thoughts, feed or starve yourself and others, or be ready to eat your words.

Communications and thinking should consist of “speaking from the gut” and ought to be more nurturing, empathetic, nurturing and compassionate.  We can easily connect in our minds to the billion people who are starving everyday all over the world. So with the Mars Saturn conjunction and now Mercury in Cancer –expect to see militant restrictions over food production and distribution and equally the hungry in revolt. Nothing gets people up in arms faster than empty stomachs, no roofs over their heads because they have nothing left to lose.

Astrology Updates June 30-Juy 6

Hi Lites of the week

June 30 Moon leaves earthy Taurus and enters Gemini 4:03 am EDT

July 1^st Happy Birthday Canada!

Moon conjuncts Mercury 9:37 am EDT Emotions and mind meet in the dual sign, time to see both sides of the issues.

MARS enters VIRGO July 1@ 12:21 pm EDT/9:21 am PST/4:21 pm GMT

Mars, the God of War, will be in nitpicky Virgo till Aug 19^{th so expect aggressive and hopefully intelligent criticism. Mar’s warpath will be directed towards natural resources, the earth and food supplies. Mars rules Aries sign of Spring, and new life, as well as Scorpio sign of Death and Rebirth now in the sign of the harvest Virgo. As you sow, so shall you reap. Virgo, the 6th Sign is the most devoted to hard work, serving others, analyzing, ordering, budgeting. Yes aggressive budgeting is the name of the game these days. The economic bubble has burst in America, and fast Martial defenses to shore up the debris as well as new intelligent environmental products and services { ie.cars that run on garbage}are desperately needed to roll into production-yesterday. Faster better smarter ways of managing food supplies and distribution too. Expect a lot of nit picky-ness on the personal level, and tons of drive for hard work, getting things accomplished, organizing, getting your personal life on a budget, serving the eco-system. Virgo hates to waste anything. A good time for analysts, writers, accountants, service industry, practical thinking, getting the numbers right. Remember Mars is defensive, so expect a kick-back if you are overtly critical of others now.}

^For Virgos, expect a lot more energy and drive, oomph in your step. For Sagittarians, Mars will kick your butt to get the hard work done, you need to actualize your dreams, for Pisces Mars will also help you to manifest those dreams, and Gemini’s Mars in Virgo will get your mind grounded and practical.

Aries people, Mars will help you direct your formidable energies to help you finish up what you start, be more detailed, and reap some rewards.

July 2 NEW MOON in CANCER @ 7:20 pm PDT/ 10:20 pm EDT/ July 3 2:20 am GMT

This is a Sirius New Moon-pun intended as the Moon and Sun align with the Fixed Star Sirius. Sirius, the brightest star in the sky, nine light years away, was an object of wonder, revered by all ancient peoples throughout human history. The Ancient Egyptians knew this star as Isis, as its July rising brought fertility to the land through the flooding of the Nile. The ancient African Dogon Tribe of Mali said that their ancestors came from Sirius and they knew that the Star was a binary star long before it was discovered and confirmed by telescopes in modern days. The ancient Vedas called this star the Chieftan’s star, in other Hindu writings it is called Sukra,the Rain God. The Dog Star is also described as “ he who awakens the Gods of the air and summons them to bring rain.” Barbara Hand Clow channels information from Sirius and some say the Earth is related to Sirius because of its’ iron ore core, whish we have in our blood, making us magnetic.

The U.S. aligned it’s Sun to this Fixed Star having it’s declaration of Independence declared on this date to affix it’s identity with that of Sirius.

The Moon in Cancer is strongest in its own Sign, the sign it rules. Water sign Cancer is the sign of nurturing, mothering, security, emotions, love.

The Asteroid Ceres, the first asteroid to be discovered, now designated a dwarf planet is at 9 degrees of Cancer closely aligned with the Sun and Moon. Ceres is the Roman name for the Earth Mother, Demeter to the Greeks.

All New Moons are new beginnings, and in the Cardinal sign of Cancer this New Moon turns our instincts and emotions towards the Goddess, the Earth Herself, Mother to all life on this Planet in a nurturing, protective way.

Security, home, family, nurturing, sustenance, water, all Cancerian issues are in peril right now, all over the world. Besides the mortgage scandals in the U. S. food shortages, jobs, keeping a roof over our heads are critical issues. Water, too much of it, as in the flooding in the Midwest or not enough of it through drought are also critical issues.

Venus is also in Cancer at 18 degrees +, exactly opposing Jupiter Retrograde in Capricorn, furthering expanding our values and feelings on all these issues and helping us to examine what we’ve built and structured in the past, {Jupiter Retro in Capricorn} under the criteria of “does it grow corn?”

Interestingly Ceres and Virgo {where Mars is now} are always shown holding a wheat sheaf, or corn. In the recent urgent drive to find new renewable sources of bio-fuel, the U.S. heavily subsidized corn as a fuel source, turning millions of acres of farm land, formerly used for food production into fuel production. A lot of that has been wiped out due to recent flooding and created havoc in rising food prices around the world, resulting in  inflated rises in the price of rice wheat, etc. seriously threatening and making even hungrier, the billion poorest people in the world who subsist on $1 a day.

As for spiraling oil prices, up to $145 a barrel a few days ago, that is Neptune’s jurisdiction. Neptune is sesquiquadrate {135 degrees, a square and a half} or one and a half headaches away to this New Moon. Neptune is the planet of illusion, delusion, fantasy, escapism, addictions, spirituality and compassion. Are we all being deluded by the hyper-inflated price of crude these days? A new investigation into these matters of oil skyrocketing due to speculators on the markets, now in Bear territory is under way. Neptune’s aspect to this New Moon also begs us to ask the question, how do we get off our addiction to oil and our denial of our part in it? Did Amy Winehouse most clearly elicit our deepest denial about our addictions which thusly made her song no no no to Rehab a hit?

We need new hearts, new ways of securing and protecting all that nurtures us.

Mercury in Gemini at 20 degrees, squares Uranus and Trines Chiron the North Node and Neptune right now helping us to create brilliant new ideas, inventions and higher ideals getting some radical surgery for our ailing aching oil spilling woes.

On this New Moon in Cancer the first one of Summer, call in the nurturing powers of the Mother Goddess to help you feel safe, secure, held in her womb, nurtured and loved as a Child of the Universe. Bless yourself with water, dedicate yourself to honouring the Feminine in everything you do.

July 3

SAT.  EVENING FORECAST

And then after a couple of more ouchy unsettling Quincunx’s of the Moon to both Uranus and Mercury today early evening, and with your feelings and brain doing a loop de loop, the last aspect of the Moon in Leo opposite Neptune today at 8:21 pm EDT/ 5:21 pm PDT could

a.       send you to bed early to dream on it, or

b.      escape to a loud party to forget about it all

c.       cause you to suddenly fall in love with a guru type

d.      heavy drinking and/or drugging 

In all cases be careful when driving or operating heavy machinery.

Moon gets earthy and practical over the next few days.

Moon Conjuncts Mars @ 12:18 pm EDT/ 9:18 am PDT

Get to work, gardening, home repairs, budgeting, analyzing the harvest, lots of practical work lists.

VENUS TRINES URANUS @ 2: 32 pm EDT/ 11:32 am PDT

Things are up in the air in the romance, and revolution department. Good for renovations, trying things that are different, off beat,unique.

Benevolence and humanitarian idealism- go to a food bank, cook or send money for the starving.

Moon Conjuncts Saturn @ 3:58 pm EDT/ 12:58 pm PDT

This one ‘ll sober you up. Did you overspend on those credit cards?

Hi Lights of the week

Venus enters Cancer June 18  @ 1:49 am PDT /4:49 am EDT/

8:48 am GMT

Galactically Full Moon in Sagittarius June 18 @ 10:31 am PDT/

1:31 am EDT/ 5:31 pm GMT

Mercury Direct June 19 @ 7:26 am PDT/10:26 am EDT/ 19 2:26

pm GMT

My son Elijah’s Birthday-June 19 - Happy Birthday!

Summer Solstice June 20 @ 5:00 pm PDT/ 8:00 pm EDT/

 11:59  pm GMT

A BIG week!

Let’s get right down to it.

THAT BIG FULL MOON June 18 @ 27 degrees of Sag. 50  mins.

O.K. This Full MOON falls right on the GALACTIC CENTER!

If  you’ve read some of my updates you know that this is a very

powerful spot for the Full MOON. Last Year, Pluto had his 250

year rendezvous with the Galactic Center and Jupiter too. Now

we get another chance to aim higher.

This is a very intense Full Moon especially with Mercury station

ary about to turn direct the day after. Planets changing direct-

ion are extra strong so the green light is about to turn on.

Pluto Retrograde is within 2 degrees of this Fullness, highlight-

ing the illumination of the depths, the shadow, the collective

Unconscious, and our ability to bring those contents, the

rubbish, garbage, atomically charged refuse into the Light of

Full Consciousness and fertility always signified by the ripened

ova of a Full Moon.

Since Pluto began sojourning through Sagittarius in late 1995

we’ve seen Pluto’s transformative ability to bring out scandals

in education, law, religion, fundamentalism, politics, publishing

 Sagittarius is an optimistic, truth seeking, expansive sign. As

Pluto Retrogrades now making his final passes in the 9^th Sign

we need to honestly, with humour and expansiveness look at

if we’re walking our talk, or being hypocritical. Are we being

ethical, in our politics, our religious views, following our ideals,

inspiring ourselves and others?

Plan now how to practically and methodically make long term

concrete plans to change whatever isn’t quite “on the arrow’s

path of Truth, Justice and benevolence” for when Pluto makes

his long climb through Capricorn on Nov. 26^th –2023. That’s a

totally Capricornian business plan.

THE GALACTIC CENTER is a massive black hole at the heart

of the Milky way Galaxy it broadcasts a constant stream of

gamma, infrared,microwave and other electromagnetic

frequencies. These emanations from the Galactic HEART core

weaken the magnetic fields that hold us in duality and separat

ion from the rest of the Cosmos. Some people believe that this

is what is creating an expanded consciousness, some

scientists believe that the Milky Way “bubbled up” and out

organically from the Galactic Center and not from a Big Bang

Thirteen Billion years ago. Some myths connect the Galactic

Center to the birthplace, a Cosmic Womb and Vulva for our

Galaxy, a wormhole, an Inter-Dimensional Portal which souls’

pass through when entering and exiting this Third Density

Dimension.

With the Sun’s on Polaris The North STAR right now and in

close oppositon to Pluto on the full Moon and their exact opp-

osition at the Summer Solstice, a major turning point and

power Gateway in the yearly cycle, it’s easier to dispel the

illusions of dogma, programming, fear, lies, duality and open

ourselves to Greater Truths and Higher Wisdom.

Uranus, the Higher Octave of Mercury, squares this Full Moon

pushing us to take our consciousness  Higher, wilder, revolut-

ionary. Uranus is approaching it’s Retrograde period on June

26^th. Uranus in Pisces Retrograde will help us to re-access our

intuitions, our dreams, our creativity, our feelings for what is

the Truth, revolutionizes our 6^th senses.

Mars is Quincunx Uranus {exact @ 23 degrees 38 mins of Leo-

Pisces} the day of the Full Moon and then opposes Neptune

on June 21^st @ 24 degrees Leo-Aquarius challenging us to

fight for what’s best for us Humanity and not just personal gain

VENUS opposite Pluto- a Tango of Love and Death

Venus is also conjunct the Sun at Zero degrees of Cancer, she

is leading the Sun to it’s Highest Point in the Northern Hemis-

phere in 2 days. She opposes Pluto also. Imagine the Goddess

of Love couching down with the Lord of the Underworld, This

is the Tango of Love and Death, Beauty and Ugliness, Grace

and Decay, Harmony and Garbage, time to Love Your Shadow.

Embrace your shadow, own the shadow. There is a great book

called The Dark Side of the Light Chasers by Debbie Ford

which helps you to own your own dispossessed shadow,

your projections and know that “Thou Art That.” In order to

obtain Oneness and Peace.

Venus in Cancer, like a Jewish Mother till July 12^th

Venus in Feminine Motherly Homey, Nurturing, Security

Conscious Cancer takes you Home to the sweet smells of

Apple Pie and cozy foody, comforting Values, Love and

Romance. Venus ties on her apron strings and hangs out in

the kitchen cooking and like a Good Jewish mother, or Italian

etc. makes sure your stomach is full. Oy, to all those people

including Ed McMahon! who have lost the roofs over their

heads,from the little house to the big palacial ones during the

Foreclosure scandals in the U.S. and Britain. Venus in Cancer

may help the Cancerian U.S. to dig deeper into its pockets to

help those unfortunate ones- even Ed McMahon.

Also Venus in Cancer points to the basis needs for food and

shelter, not for just Americans but for the looming food crisis

worldwide. Interesting that Venus in Cancer points to Water,

emotions and all the flooding that’s going on in the Mid West

and elsewhere.

In the love department, whilst Venus is in Cancer, make them

feel at home, security, family and conservative traditional value

are important. Take the boyfriend/girlfriend home to meet the

Family. There’ll be lots of good times with family get togethers

during this time.

This is a highly Fertile time, so if planning a family this is one

of the Best times.

Venus is Conjuncting the Summer Solstice Zero Cancer point,

the traditional Zenith point when the Sun is at his Highest in the

No rthern Hemisphere. So it’s a feel good, happy, loverly time.

Points to a lot of rain. As we are over 70% water, and as Dr.

Emotto has shown our emotions affect water, this is also a

good time to send your Love to the polluted waters of the Earth

Patch up old family feuds, appreciate your family for providing

for you, for nurturing you.

MERCURY DIRECT

O.K. so Mercury finally goes direct after a Lollapalooza Retro

grade in Gemini. Uh, we had two bathroom leaks this past week

alone. Mercury won’t get back to where he turned Retro until

July 22^nd so proceed with caution.

SUMMER SOLSTICE

One of the 4 major turning points and crossings of Gateways

in the Year. Summer arrives and the longest day of Light in the

Northern, Winter Arrives in the Southern Hemisphere and the

reverse. So Happy Winter to all of you in the South.

Since the beginning our Ancestors participated in ritual at

these major 4 corners of the year.

Summer Solstice is called Litha in Pagan lore. The Sun King,

on the Night of His Triumph begins to slowly wain and die on

this day at his Ascension, the irony, the Decline of Light begins

we enter Summer and The Feminine powers. The Sun’s Light

grows the grain, we Celebrate Nature, Growth.

The turning of the Circle of the Year makes one more ¼ round,

we are headed towards the Autumn Equinox and equality of

Light and Dark.

My family and I always do a Summer Solstice ceremony. Thank

the Sun for shedding His Light, for warming and causing

Mother Earth’s seeds to grow, for providing us with nourish

ment and food. Thank the Sun for bringing food {Light} to all

the flowers, and being able to see the living beauty of the

flowers as they continue to bloom and grow throughout the

summer months. Thank the Sun for his warmth, so that we

may be out in Nature, swimming, and basking in the heat. Sing

Summertime, the 1935 George Gershwin song from Porgy and

Bess, one of my all time favourite songs,

Summertime,

And the livin' is easy

Fish are jumpin'

And the cotton is high

Your daddy's rich

And your mamma's good lookin'

So hush little baby

Don't you cry

One of these mornings

You're going to rise up singing

Then you'll spread your wings

And you'll take to the sky

But till that morning

There's a'nothing can harm you

With daddy and mamma standing by

Summertime,

And the livin' is easy

Fish are jumpin'

And the cotton is high

Your daddy's rich

And your mamma's good lookin'

So hush little baby

Don't you cry 

 Happy Summer!

PLANETARY HI LIGHTS

June 9 Mars Contraparallel Pluto- watch out for violent reactions!

some MERCURY RETRO RANTS-

Isn't this RETROGRADE MERCURY IN GEMINI THE WORST?

JUST AS i PREDICTED SO FAR-SINCE maY 26TH- AROUND HERE IT'S BEEN LIKE-

REGISTERED LETTERS HAVE BEEN LOST EN ROUTE-

CHECQUES GOT DEPOSITED TO THE WRONG ACCOUNTS-SIX TIMES

-BATHROOM TOILET SPRUNG A LEAK

MY COUSIN WHO i HAVEN'T SEEN IN 10 YEARS CALLS TO SAY THAT SHE'S IN TOWN AND LEAVES ME 14 DIGITS TO CALL HER BACK ON-?

-DATES AND TIMES CHANGED NUMEROUS TIMES FOR EACH EVENT i'VE BEEN AT-

LET ME KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH YOU-

10-11^th   Both Venus and the Sun in Gemini are busy making many aspects- things will be shaking and changing

Trine the North Node and Chiron in Aquarius

Hilights our common humanity and HIghest Goals, Working together to attain the highest consciousness for all life.

Quincunx Jupiter –

this aspect presents cosmic angles which speak two different elemental languages-Venus and the Sun are in Gemini-Jupiter in Capricorn-air and earth don’t mix very well. With all the Retrogrades now this can produce added stress.

Quintile Saturn

A Quintile is a more unusual aspect-72 degrees-the number 72 is a highly esoteric number, a 1/5 of a circle. Use this aspect to ground and manifest {Saturn} what you love {Venus} what your values are {Venus} with your Higher Self {the Sun}

VENUS Trines Chiron June 10^th @ 6:05 pm PDT/ 9:05 pm EDT

Venus in Gemini  like a breath of fresh air and new ideas communicates  the love vibes and a way of  being conscious of both sides’ values. Venus in Gemini is a Trickster aspect, Mercurial, androgynous, fast moving, changeable. Venus Trine Chiron in Aquarius gives us the bigger picture, a more expansive vision, a homogeneous picture of healing the wounds in our divided consciousness moving towards wholeness and love. Opposing values and ways of communicating can be healed by applying radical thinking, inventive strategies. Use this aspect to heal the split, let the right hand know what the left hand is doing, see the two apparently separated parts of your brain shake hands.

June 11th  Ceres moves into Cancer  till Aug 19

The newly named Dwarf Planet-formerly known as an Asteroid now plays more consciously in our little cosmic unfolding. I really believe that upleveling Ceres to dwarf planet status heralds the incoming consciousness of The Goddess, The Divine Feminine, the Earth Herself back into human consciousness after two-three thousand years of patriarchal disempowerment. Hurray to those Astronomers who re-acknowledged the status of the Feminine in the Celestial Pantheon once again. Ceres is the Roman name for the Earth Goddess, Demeter to the Greeks- she is the green living earth goddess also known as Tara. In Cancer till August 19^th Ceres points our attention to home, security, comfyness, family, nurturing, financial security.

A very good time to pay homage to the Earth, her lushness, her fertility, the Great Mother of us all, go barefoot on the green grass, give thanks for the vegetation and trees in full bloom now.

Ceres also opposes Pluto now at zero degrees of Capricorn

This opposition between the Goddess of Life and nurturing and Pluto the Lord of Death at two of the most important degrees in the Zodiac ignites the choices and the balance we must initiate NOW.

Do we honor the Earth, the Feminine or do we unconsciously destroy Her, through corporate psychotic greed mongering?  Do the tiny percentage of patriarchal CEO’s of the New World Order who control all the money, banking, war, media, drug companies stock markets and governments unconsciously continue to destroy the Earth and her children using secrets, power, control, manipulation {Pluto}? Does the Goddess Herself rise up in defense of Her children? Watch out for more tsunamis, flooding, oceans rising.

Zero degrees of Cancer Summer solstice point and Zero degrees of Capricorn Winter Solstice point symbolize the roots, the foundation {Cancer} and  the worlds stage {Capricorn}. 

This could symbolize the Goddess, the green movement, children, home security {the mortgage crisis fiasco} food shortages becoming THE most important elements in the upcoming presidential election in the U.S. as well as paramount everywhere in the World. Beware of family feuds at this time.

June 12  a roller coaster day

Venus Square Uranus @ 3:38 am EDT/ 12:38 am PDT

Ride that electrical, eccentric roller coaster ride of the unexpected in your love life. Beware of the impulse buy and with Mercury Retrograde attempt to look before you leap before you join that counter culture cult or fall into someone’s arms.

Sun Square Uranus @ 10:24 pm PDT

Quirky, inventive, good for Xtreme individuals, brainstorming for the big picture, inventiveness, electrifyingly intense lightning fast spiritual insights {Uranus in Pisces}

Moon Quincunx Uranus @ 11:05 pm PDT

Suddenly you find youself fascinated with an extremely quirky individual having consversations about topics like science, computers, inventions, working in groups to save humanity.

the 13th Sun Square Uranus @ 1:24 am EDT – see above

FRIDAY the 13^th are you superstitious?

Actually the number 13 is very beneficial, there are 13 Lunations in a year, so the number 13 since ancient times has been synonymous with the Goddess, it is Christianity which defamed and made the Feminine Evil and changed the natural cycle of lunar calendar worshipping  people with the advent of the Gregorian calendar  in 1582 which has since put us entirely out of synch with the natural harmonies of the seasonal year. The Chinese Hebrew, Muslim and Mayan Calendars are still Lunar based. Ceres is in home territory of Cancerian Mother love right now.

Moon is very busy today-

Moon Trines Gemini Sun –

Very favourable for lots of talking, reminiscing, social interactions

Moon Trines Venus

Highly social gatherings, fast charm, changing of partners,

Moon Trines Neptune

This is great for being ultra romantic, creative, music of the spheres, soul mate kinda aspect.

VENUS TRINE NEPTUNE @ 7:53 am  PDT/ 10:53 am EDT

24 Gemini- 24 Aquarius-Neptune is Retrograde

This is as good luscious, romantic, seductive, soul mate, tantric unionesque as it gets!

In airy signs it may be all talk or all in your mind, you can fall in love with the world today. Use this energy to connect with your creativity, sing, dance, make a painting.

Speak only beautiful words today.

Astrology Updates MAy 20 -26 and more

Copywrite Tara Greene 2008

MERCURY RETROGRADE Alert! May 26 11:42 am EDT/ 8:42 am PDT

It's that time of year again. For those of us who know what this means-you know what to do and not do or to be Xtra carefull of. For those of you who don't know what the heck I'm alerting you to-

The planet Mercury-which governs all communications, consciouness itself, and anything thing which we use to communicate with-computers etc. and anything that moves fast like airplanes and cars,
that fleet-footed winged messenger of the Gods,at certain dates and times, three times a year, apparently reverses direction and moves backwards, causing major havoc, mayhem, computer snafus etc. etc. during his Retrograde motion.
To hear what the New York Times had to say about this-a rather skeptical review but nonetheless- 

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/11/nyregion/11mercury.html?partner=rssnyt&emc=rss

Mercury will be Retrograde from MAy 26-June 19 @ 10:26 am EDT

During this 3 week time period double and triple check all communications, beware of computer break downs, lost baggage, time schedule changes, etc. You will say one thing and they will hear something else. It is also wise not to begin new projects or buy things as they are likely to fail, break down etc. Of course we can't stop doing everything just be extra cautious.
Mercury Retrogrades are good for all the RE prefix thiings-rest, renew, renovate, rethink, re-organize etc.
Mercury goes Retrograde for about 1/3 of the time in any year equal to the amount of time that we need to sleep, so see this as a beneficial time, a needed integration time from our usual, too hurried and harried lives these days.
 

Mercury turns Retro at 21 degrees 32 minutes of Gemini. Mercury is strongest in his own sign of rulership so I predict that this Retro proves even more difficult than usual. Mercury turns direct on June 19^th one day before the Summer Solstice at 12 degrees 59 minutes of Gemini. It won’t pass the Retro degree until July 4^th!  So it’ll take that long, even after Mercury turns direct to get the green light again.

Mercury Retrograde periods are really good for people who were born when Mercury was in his Rx -symbol for Mercury Retro. This would be 1/3 of the population so it might be you. With an Rx indicating any planet moving Retrograde when you were born you have - special Medicine. Note the synchronicity of Rx and Prescription.

To find out,and get more details about your Natal chart please contact me. I do personal, relationship and Business Astrology.

SUN ENTERS GEMINI  May 20^th 

it’s the twins turn to shine for a whole month. Gemini’s have a dual nature, dark/ light, angel/  devil, the perpetual Peter Pans, great and fast communicators, are difficult to nail down, fleet footed, highly exitable mutli-taskers, cravers of information, often teeter and totter emotionally as well. We all have a Gemini house somewhere in our natal charts, so look at your chart to see where Gemini is and you’ll see that area highlighted now.

May 24  VENUS IN GEMINI – JUNE 18^th 

BUY MORE PHONE CARDS!

VENUS ENTERS THE SPEEDY GONZALES TWIN SIGN of GEMINI @ 6:52 PM EDT/3:52 PM PDT

Venus Godddess of LOVE, MONEY, VALUES, BEAUTY and the ARTS leaves her comfy sensual home sign of Taurus now and  goes into her light talky Peter Pan phase now.

Until June 18^th  @ 4:48 am EDT/1:48 am PDT

LOVE is light and flirtatious now, with Venus in Gemini, nothing too serious. This time is for young and light hearted communications, having more than one fling at a time-the twin nature of the sign, and lots of yakking,and gaddabouting from one party or event to another. It’ll be a veritable social whirlwind for all signs but especially for Gemini’s, all air signs Venus ruled Taurus and Libran’s.

Gemini if you haven’t fallen in love yet-now’s a great time, and how about falling in love with a Gemini?

They’re very charming, and there’ll never be a dull moment in conversations. They may forget to call back but.. don’t worry onto the next person, you haven’t got a moment to loose. Better get those extra long phone cards.

THE RETROGRADE TIMES NEWS and BLUES

MAY 25 CHIRON THE WOUNDED HEALER GOES RETRO

@ 7:42 am EDT/ 4:42 am PDT

Chiron, whose symbol looks like a key is a space object classified differently by different organizations. Is it a comet? A planetoid? Whatever… names don’t matter but this object is very important. A Centaur-half human half horse a la Sagittarius Chiron in Greek Mythology was rejected by his Mother and learned to become an excellent teacher and healer. He was immortal but one part of him, like Heracles was mortal and in that vulnerable spot of course he was wounded. He gave up his Immortality and became mortal in order to stop the pain and to die and was immortalized in the sky.

The Chiron Mythology describes are own humanness and frail but powerful mortality, How it is that we become wounded in the flesh, we have to suffer pain consciously, by expressing the pain we allow the old wounds to die and we become healed, whole, conscious. We become once again immortal, as we came into this mortality. By crying out to the Gods and Goddesses with our pain, by owning it, and crying out for healing of what ails us, by going through our pain and suffering we are empowered to get past it.

Chiron moving Retrograde enable a major healing time, layers of the pain onion are peeled back over this time period. You will feel more vulnerable,sensitive, and more aware of what ails yee. BE aware that people and events will trigger you to connect with the buried pain inside of you so that you can work with it.  Chiron will  be Retro at 21 degrees 09 minutes of Aquarius untill Oct 26^th, so lots of time to heal. Chiron won’t pass that point until 2009, so use this time well.

MAY 26 NEPTUNE GOES RETROGRADE for 5 months REVERIE TIME!

A busy day Neptune turns Retro @ 7:25 am EDT/4:25 am PDT @ 24 degrees 15 minutes of Aquarius. Neptune goes Direct on Nov 2^nd @ 21 degrees 28 minutes.

Neptune’s Retro motion for over 5 months puts us into the REVERIE ZONE literally.

Neptune Planet of Faith,  Dreamers, the Higher Octave of Venus, Planet of Composers, Artists, Actors, Spirituality, OIL, ruler of Pisces, Illusion, Delusion, Addictions, Escapism, Fantasy and Viruses will pull us back into Dreamland, put our heads in the clouds our feet off the ground, and we’ll all be wearing those rose coloured glasses for awhile.

A good time to undo your addictions, fall in love again with an ex, or an old friend who you now see as a love interest, dig our that old inspiring book manuscript or inspired song lyrics you shoved away in an old drawer out of embarrassment, and bring it out and re-examine it and give it a fresh exciting new {Aquarian} shine.

As Neptune rules OIL I believe oil prices will take a sharp downswing, and whatever illusions the Wizards of Oil Monopolies have been playing on the public will be revealed during this time period. Also some exciting new technologies to get the U.S. and the rest of the World off their OIL ADDICTIONS should come to the forefront. Replacement of oil by using algae, which grows in Neptune’s natal Pisces’ water Sign would be very usefull, easy and beneficial.

Interesting that this Retrograde phase happens during the last leg of the Democratic selection for candidate and just before election day on the 4th. Who’s not seeing what? And what’s Barack Obama’s slogan?

Hope Action Change

sounds Neptunian to me -Hope.  Action and Change are Aquarian-revolutionary.

JUPITER HAS BEEN RETROGRADE SINCE MAY 9^th

Jupiter went on his Retro at 22 degrees 22 minutes Of Capricorn, indicating a time of re-focussing ambitions, long term goals, career motivations, re-acessing goals, concrete plans, and major corporate structuring being overhauled.

Jupiter rules Sagittarius so all things Sagittarian get the Saturn ruled Capricorn once over until September. Airplanes may be found to be unsafe and withdrawn, automobile recalls, anything to do with foreign laws, dealings with diplomats, totalitarian governments, foreign aid, education, religion, and re-writing or re-legislating overly restrictive {Capricorn} laws come under Jupiter’s largesse going over the fine print now.  There are many very conservative restrictive freedom impinging laws that have been proposed in England Canada and the US  dealing with surveillance and collecting information on the Internet or redefining  people’s choices to herbal supplements etc. which Jupiter’s need for freedom will not tolerate. This is a good thing. This time period may free up already restrictive totalitarian governments-China, Burma, Korea from public pressure and International intervention {Sagittarian} etc.

PLUTO RETRO SINCE APRIL 3RD till Sept 10

Pluto has been Retrograding for awhile now, every year he Retros for about 5 months. 

 on JUNE 15^th  PLUTO HAS LEFT THE BUILDING!

Pluto will leave the structured sign of Capricorn where he basically just stuck his toe in for a bit of a corporate test drive on June 15^th  and Re-enter Sagittarius until September 10^th when he again moves Direct.

Pluto will be Retro within 1 degree of the Galactic Center for almost 3 months, for the last time in almost 250 years.

Pluto will remain in Sagittarius until Nov. 26^{th when}l he finally re-enters Capricorn where he will tear down and transform all things Capricornian-Governments, old boy politics, corporations, seniors, buildings, structure, long tern goals, mountains, lead, time, organizations, seniority, Patriarchal structure, fatherhood, authority, pensions,  etc. until 2024!

Pluito went Retro at 1 degree 09 minutes of Capricorn and won’t get back to that degree until Dec 29^th, so we won’t see any holes in the flagships till 2009.

Since the beginning of May when Saturn was still Retro till May 4^th there were 6 planets retrograde.

June will find that pattern continue we will have Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus Neptune Pluto Chiron all Retro during most of June. ANd last but not least...in the RETROGRADE TIMES

URANUS GOES RETROGRADE June 26 @ 22 degrees Pisces 39 minutes

Mucho time to slow down and reflect, renew, recycle, reinvent with Uranus Retro. Uranus goes Direct Nov 28^th.

Astrological Updates May 19-25 REDEMPTION TIME

HI LITES!  AMAZING COSMIC PORTALS OPEN!

SCORPIO  FULL MOON MAY 19 @ 10:12 pm EDT /

7:12 pm PDT / May 20 @ 2:12 am GMT

THIS is a very powerful FULL MOON, on the Scorpio-Taurus axis,it is the 2^nd one this year-see April 10 Full Moon.

Occurring at 29 degrees of Scorpio-the last and most critical degree-the 29^th degree of any sign marks the ending of a phase and a final test as to whether we have mastered that sign’s developmental lessons. In effect I believe that all events, planets etc at any of the 29^th degrees is the ultimate or most potent of any and in the sign of Scorpio it is the last gasp, the last breath in the sign of death and rebirth. It is the Last Rites in Catholic terms-It is REDEMPTION TIME.

The Sun is at the last degree of Taurus, the 1^st of the earth signs, so here the Sun, the light  the Source of all Life-tests us with how well are we doing in the material world? How well are we taking care of our bodies, resources and our planet?

This powerful Full Moon occurs directly on the Pleiades, a cluster of  7 stars at the 29 degree of Taurus, which are visible in the Winter sky even here in light polluted Toronto north of the 3 bright stars of Orion, they look like a little beehive shaped smudge to the naked eye. Known as the 7 sisters,.

 The Pleiades have a very important part to play in many ancient cultures around the world. The Ancient Greeks, Egyptians and Mayans oriented their temples and pyramids towards this star group. The Pleiades are mentioned three times in the Bible {Job 9.9 and 38.31; Amos 5:8}. Several Native American creation stories say that the Pleiades were the Original ancestors, Starseeds, bringer of Light and knowledge to the Earth. Many channels Barbara Marciniak and Barbara Hand Clow amongst many others channel Higher Learning from Pleiadian sources.

Interestingly the Pleiades are located at one of the nodes {points of intersection} between the Galactic and Super Galactic Planes! These Nodes represent Star Gates, inter dimensional doorways, portals and pathways for accessing greater super-conscious realities!

 Usually we only think of the Arth’s path around the Sun, but there is also an immense Galactic Plane, the path traced by our Solar System’s orbit around the Galactic Center and an even vaster Super Galactic Plane-the orbital path of our Local Group- a family of 27 galaxies to which our Milky Way Galaxy belongs. Note that the distance from earth to the Galactic Center in our own Milky Way Galaxy is 25,000 Light Year away! So we’re talking a HUGE COSMIC INTERSECTION here.

So this is the time to think VAST, think beyond our usual small earth bound thinking and open ourselves up to receive visions, guidance and wisdom from our Starry Ancestors, and open the Stellar Interdimensional Doorways on the is Full Moon.

This Full MOON peaks very close to this Cosmic Portal, the Full Moon itself  always symbolizes a human egg ready to be fertilized, in Buddhist terms a white circle or seed, is called a bija, it is the potential for all life.

The Moon is the Feminine, the Goddess Herself, who sits so close to the earth, she is the unconscious, our instincts and emotions, our ties to the womb.

The Moon at 29 degrees of Scorpio symbolizes that this is a time when Galactic Consciousness can be accessed and Fertilize all of  humanities’ deepest emotional yearnings, can fertilize cosmic consciousness, redemption, cleansing, renewal. The Moon is associated with Memory. At this Full Moon we can fully re-member who we really are, where we originate from-the stars-we are truly star dust and golden.

This Full Moon is a huge evolutionary leap- the Death and Rebirth show-whatever addictions, obsessions, secrets,  power and control issues that you have been holding onto – this Full Moon is the Most powerful one you may encounter in a very long time. Remember also that we are on the march towards Dec 31 2012, that all events and time is shifting into fast forwards to that fateful date.

The Moon squares Neptune at 24 degrees+ of Aquarius, the North Node of the Moon at 22 degrees + of Aquarius and Chiron, the Wounded Healer at 21 degrees plus of Aquarius. The Moon also Squares the South Node at 22 degrees of Leo and Saturn at 1 degree of Virgo. We have a mixed Grand Square of fixed and Mutable Elements involved.

Chiron Neptune and Mercury will be all turning RETROGRADE in a few days! SO their movements are very slow now and strong. Neptune in Aquarius encourages us to tune in to the Higher Celestial energies receiving new frequencies and the bigger picture,The North Node of the Moon represents our Highest Spiritual Goals- it is the “world soul” position-in Aquarius it’s Humanitarian, knowing that we are all one, it is evolutionary, forwards thinking, Mercury at 19 degrees of Gemini in his home sign is also very strong and tunes us into gathering information about the nature of duality, how things relate to each other, communicating, consciousness itself. Mercury is the Magician itself in the Tarot.  Squares, 90 degree angles, are sacred geometry designed to get us to move to act –to get it.

Chiron, is the Wounded Healer showing us that being mortal allows us to move through accept, understand and heal ourselves from the wheel of karma. Chiron’s energy is electric, kundalini force in Aquarius, simply tune into your bodies own ability to electrify and heal any dis-ease as this time. Listen to the energy current sin your body, the body will always reveal the truth,

Jupiter at 22 degrees of Capricorn sextiles Uranus at 22 degrees of Pisces expanding Spiritual insights, adventures and revelations.

The Sabian Symbols emphasize that this is a significant time of endings and beginnings-

The Sun at 30 degrees of Taurus- “ A peacock parading on the terrace of an old castle; the personal display of inherited gifts” and for the Moon at 30 degrees of Scorpio- “Children in Haloween costumes indulge in various pranks; the periodic outlets society furnishes within traditional limits to still immature energies.”

Think about that for a bit. What is the beauty {the peacock} that is your inherited gifts?

How mature is your energy? What do you choose to do with your time?

GALACTIC RENEWAL CEREMONY

At the Full Moon. Create a sacred Circle, use smudge or incense to cleanse and purify your circle. Take some deep breaths, put on some sacred chanting music.

Call in the Earth Elementals, the Fire, Water and Air Elements. Call the Pleiadian energies of the Star Ancestors to guide you. Send your breath and your consciousness down into the iron ore crystal at the center of the Earth, use your imagination, feel the earth’s crust,the rocks and stones, the holders of the material plane beneath you. When you reach the fire at the center of the Earth, Gaia’s Heatflame breath in the Sacred Fire, the magnetic energies of the Earth and bring them up through the bottom of your spine through all your charkas, to your 3^rd eye. Visualize the Full Moon at your 3^rd eye between your eyebrows.

Before you can get to the Celestial Gateway though you must first acknowledge and then drop all your ego pretensions, all your personality masks. You must also look within to acknowledge your shadow, your secrets, your petty disdains, your jealousies, power trips, control and power trips, you know all the Scorpio dark side and embrace it. You must redeem yourself, your Soul.You cannot enter unless you know yourself honestly. Your shadow has immense power over you if not acknowledged.

Negative entities work on you and control you through your shadow, their food is emotional negativity, even you who think you are all white light-you usually have a huge shadow, acknowledging and accepting those rejected and projected parts of yourselves frees you up. This does not invite the negative in, but rather your Higher Self acknowledged the Lower Personality and its frailties and is Big enough to love and accept all of you with Compassion.

The Higher Celestial Dimensions protect themselves well, to enter, like Inanna going through the 7 gates in the Underworld, each of your False selves has to be acknowledged and put aside in order for you to get to your core Higher Self energies.

Once you have done this and take your time…

Then bring the energy up to your  Crown Chakra and send your intentions and your consciousness out to the Super Galactic and Galactic Nodes Intersection, to the Cosmic Doorway to the greater realities.

Visualize a gigantic starry field of energy, a canopy, an entranceway and ask to see the doorway. You are ready, you are whole, feel yourself bathed and purified in the Celestial

Light, walk through the doorway, be open to whatever images, sensations feelings and visions you may have. The Star Beings will come and talk to you, teach and guide you, all you have to do is be open. Stay as long as you wish, always give thanks for whatever shows up. Be grateful. At your return write down whatver your experience is.

Close the circle thanking each element and direction for being present with you.

Behold a newer more expanded, rebirthed you. You are now conscious of the bigger picture and your role in it.

TAURUS NEW MOON MAY 5^th @ 5:19 am PDT/ 8:19 am EDT/ 12:19 pm GMT

Let’s backtrack and look ahead at the same time. The most recent Full Moon April 20^th, occurred at  00 degrees of Scorpio. Sun was of course at  00 degrees of Taurus. The Next Full Moon occurring May 19-20 occurs at the very last “critical degree” of Scorpio-Taurus.

We have two successive Full Moons occurring in the same sign which doubles the cosmic emphasis on those Archetypes, namely letting go, death, rebirth, transformation,

Security/trust, power, resources, waste. Secrets. This is more powerful than a “Blue Moon.” More of a Green {Taurus} Black {Scorpio} Moon.

The April 20 Full Moon saw a new beginning - Zero degrees, new seeds being planted. That Full Moon also saw a Grand Trine between The Sun, Saturn Retrograde at 1 degree + of Virgo, and Pluto Retrograde at 1 degree plus of Capricorn. A very big earthy Grand Trine. Grand Trines allow mucho flow.

Pluto Retrograde energy allows us to review waste, in Capricorn practical garbage, from a Scorpio rulership position, psychological baggage and garbage. Saturn Retrograde and in Virgo forces us to get REAL and face our collective karma in relation to work, health being of service, and to what we have harvested. The Sun brings light, consciousness, awareness, action and will to all of these Retrogrades and a huge chance to get to clarity and to decide what is the most positive way to proceed.

Mercury is also in Taurus making for practical thinking about the present economic realities. There’s a lot of hands on, practical, head strong, deliberate sowing that needs to get done.

Venus the ruling Planet of Taurus is in Aries at 17 degrees plus, less than 1 degree past the last New Moon degree, pointing to our tastes, values and desire for new actions, to be daring and to take the initiative. Venus is in an approaching Square to Mars {exact April 23^rd at 21 degrees Aries-Cancer}. Mars, Venus’s counterpart and ruler of Aries and Scorpio, thus ruler of this Scorpio Full Moon at 19 degrees of Cancer, opposes Jupiter at 21 degrees of Capricorn and Venus, Mars and Jupiter form a Cardinal T- Square aspect, similar to the one formed during the last New Moon.

T- Squares are tense,demand action. In Cardinal signs there is a rush to do things new and differently. The planets of the Warrior God Mars, opposite Jupiter in Capricorn-Big Business, is being squared by Venus Goddess of Love, Beauty and Harmony. How about you do the math?.

A big week. 2 planets go home to their ruling signs Venus and Mercury. Planets are always at their best, strongest and most comfy when at home.  Some very nice trines this week.

“When the Moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that’s amore.”  That’s the best song that fits this Aquarian Lunar conjunction of Moon/Chiron/Neptune.  Old Dino was such a lounge rat pack philosopher. Namaste Dino

Chiron is the wounded healer and ouch a pizza pie in the face can really sting the eyeballs. Crusts are hard. Promises can be like pie crusts easily made and easily broken. So that pizza pie whap in the face can hurt/bring unusual awareness {Aquarius} and healing {Chiron}. So what about the amore part?

That’s where Neptune comes in. Neptune is the most spiritual of all the planets, the higher octave of Venus, Goddess of Love and Beauty. So just surrender, let Neptune pour his compassionate magical healing balm sauce to your salty wounds -HP sauce. {HP-stands for Higher Power}  and as everyone knows the only Higher Power is LOVE.

Ready,set go,almost there. Saturn goes Direct May 2^nd

Not Instant Karma- slo-o-w  karma

Slow karma’s gonna get ya,

Gonna get you on your knees,

Better get it together darlin’… to the tune of Instant Karma by John Lennon

Has it been a very hard, slow, tough, pay attenntion to all the details, deadlines, demands, more deadlines, tired, exhausted, too may things to do and not enough time in the day, more responsibilities than “usual”?  Need some freedom from all this bondage? I know that it’s tax season, the big annual crunchem, and it was a long hard winter in most of the North East, snow up to your eyeballs, but now that’s gone and you still feel tired, even though we’re almost at the midpoint of Spring and Summer coming May 1^st, Beltane.

Saturn is the Planet that rules all things physical, matter, the body, the world, old politicians, time, limitations, obstacles, corporations, karma, structures, the metal lead, bones, Patriarchy, fathers, building, career, maturity, seriosity etc. and it has been in retrograde motion in Virgo since last Dec 19, 2007. Saturn is the great tester, the headmaster in the school of hard knocks..

What this means is that Saturn’s apparent backwards motion,called RETROGRADE  since Dec. 07  has seen Time slow down, stalled any apparent forward motion, halted plans to build,  mounted high all of our responsibilities, time is a big issue, everything is heavy, leaden, making many of us feel exhausted. Things that happened last week seemed like they happened months ago, yet days are jam packed to the max, and most people are not feeling 100% groovy-groovy is not a word in Saturn’s lexicon-that’s Aquarian talk. In Ancient astrology rulerships Saturn rules both Capricorn and Aquarius-so there. So we’ve all been plodding along in quite the solid, serious, Capricornish compacted way all year. All right let’s get on with the show already!

We haven’t really touched down so to speak in 2008 yet or gotten the full reality slap in the face of what’s really going on. All those reality Tv shows are just metaphors for what we really need-a cold hard slap in the face to wake us up Don’t worry the cold water is soon to hit the fan!

All Retrograde planetary motion periods are RE-prefixes- like REst, REnew, RElease, Reality, REthink, Reflect, etc.

So if Saturn is testing your patience, just be patient a wee bit yet. Patience was invented by Saturn! Where Saturn is, and what it rules has been tested a lot. As Saturn will stop and finally turn direct on May 2nd these next few weeks brings almost everything to a virtual standstill. I am speaking metaphorically and metaphysically, but it feels like reality is so weighty now, that its trouncing out almost all other metaphysical reality now.

Saturn entred Virgo in Sept 2007, so he’s in his earthy element in Virgo the sign of the Goddess of the Harvest. Now Virgo is a very practical Feminine hard working sign, analytical, organized, perfectionist, hypochondriacal, devoted to serving others, loves nature and always gets the job done on time and on budget.

Saturn Rx -that is the Astrological symbol of Retrograde motion-exactly the same as a Prescription, which it is.

I interpret all retrograde motions of Planets as medicine, healing balm. As your reg. Dr. would say “take 2 and call me in the morning.” The Planets in Rx as Cosmic Doctoring say  -take this time period as medicine, as a prescription for what humanity needs according to the planet, and the sign for what ails us all.  Never mind  that there’s also a planet/comet/cosmic body called Chiron who is known as The Wounded Healer.

This Saturn Retrograde period is a RE-learning, a very real, very earthy, practical, hard working, and maturing, karmic lesson, we didn’t quite get yet. This is an opportunity to review, revise, rebuild, restructure, reset the timing of, re-do reality. We’re all cramming for the test of reality moving forwards soon, so we should’ve been taking this time period seriously. Or better hurry up and take it seriously, you’ve got 9 days to get it together. Saturn is always the final word.

Saturn in Virgo

Virgo could be personified, hmm, I suddenly got this cognization of personified with the name Persephone. That’s another story, but there must be a simile here, as Persephone was raped into the Underworld by Pluto-another Planet and God which was like a Retrograde phase for her while she was not visible, in the depths phsychologically speaking, maturing-

Back to Virgo, She is a Virgin Goddess,in it’s original meaning as owned by no man, whole and complete unto Herself, doing as She wishes, fulfilling her own needs. So Saturn in Virgo Rx. is teaching us a karmic lesson about this now, how to complete ourselves, become whole, nourish and feed and tend and harvest our Feminine, our Inner Goddess, everyone has one, both men and women. Psychologically, the Feminine, the Goddess, symbolizes the Soul. We need to embody ouselves. Get Real.

Saturn Retro and Big Business Hard Knocks

Saturn as ruler of Capricorn has hit big business and corporations hard! Lot’s of tumbling markets, loss of profits, banks losing billions in the US fake mortgage lending spree. Saturn rules earthy, practical CApricorn, and Saturn is also the Karmic Planet.  What you sow…

Saturn Retro & the U.S. Democratic Race

I would say that the Saturn Retro is definitely being seen in the Democratic Nominee process, it’s been slow, long, drawn out. Both candidates are being sorely tested. Hillary the elder stateslady is not giving up yet, she is not out of the race yet.

Saturn Retro in Virgo- FOOD shortages

Saturn is also teaching us karmic lessons of the Earth herself, as Goddess of the Harvest,  especially FOOD, this is a literal and a metaphorical harvest. Have you heard about the food shortages and food riots, in Haiti, Egypt and other parts of the World where food prices have climbed so fast many very poor people are literally eating the earth and that’s all they have. I just heard today that rice is being limited in its sales in the U.S. All of this was prophesized or predicted by Astrologers and psychics years ago.

ECO CRISIS

What with gas prices what they are-did you know it’s because the US is stockpiling crude oil? food prices will soar here soon. All Nature-Virgo’s domain will be hit with hard times, scarcity, lack, eco-crises, that is Saturn’s limiting nature whilst in Virgo. What we’ve sown in terms of wanton carelessness about the Earth we harvest now! And Saturn will be in Virgo till 2010.

As Saturn begins his forwrds motion, you will feel the shift, even ever so slightly. Saturn went Retro on Dec 19 at 8 degrees 34 minutes of Virgo. Yes, things will start to move forward motion but Saturn won’t pass that same degree until August the 8th! That means almost 8 months out of the year will have been spent doing “detention” or extra homework or you know what I mean. On 8 8 08 our earth densified consciousness will be able to finally move into new and unexplored territory for the first time this year.

For the meaning of 888 see the heading 888 here on my website

Saturn is the Karmic planet, where Saturn is there’s debt to pay. So what else is in the news? Saturn Retrograde all this time is simply you get back what you put out there, for every cause an effect, what you sow is what you reap. Saturn in the Virgo house of work is seen as big job and capital losses. Saturn in Virgo,the reaper in the Sign of the Harvest is a lot of Reaping!

Beneficial  RETRO-TRINE KARMIC ENERGY  April to May

SATURN + PLUTO BLESSINGS-

Saturn closely Trines Pluto now blending an easy energy between the Cosmic Cop and Lord of the Underworld. Trines are benevolent aspects highly harmonious. Because of their respective Retrograde motions Pluto and Saturn will be within 2 degrees of the trine from April 2^nd till May 2^nd.

Planets are more powerfull when moving in Retrograde motion.

This Retrograde Trine offers blessings to go over and over our past actions {karma} revisit and examine what we have done, built, created, how we identify ourselves collectively and individually and turn our past actions into dharma-good works.  Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn, he is called the final dispositor of Pluto while he is in Capricorn,so this TRINE has extra OOMPH to it as these energies are more harmonious and receptive.

In the Tarot CAPRICORN in the Trumps is Card # 15

THE DEVIL.

The devil as we popularly think of him was created by the Catholic Church who “demonized” pagans, midwife/ herbalists and projected their own very vile wicked, torturous shadows onto the innocent who refused to follow Christianity.

The Devil spelled backwards is lived, evil spelled backwards is live.

The Devil card as a teacher, warns against being trapped in matter, by it.

The wisdom of the devil is not to sell your Soul to your ego and think that there is only a material world . Be in the world but not trapped by its needs, contradictions, etc. Matter is the mirror of the spirit world, don’t forget where you originiate from. Ultimately the Devil offers freedom of choice, there is actual evil in the world, and it is what we do about that that counts. Don’t be tempted or taken over by evil entities. Through its association to Capricorn use your ambitions to rise higher, on the peaks of matter, for it is by our deeds, actions and non-actions which we manifest in this world that affects our Souls in the eternal.  

As Saturn represents mater and materiality, hard knocks, matter, discipline, time, limitations, obstacles, old age Saturn is all the karma of Form in this 3^rd dimensional world. Saturn in Virgo can be overly conscienscous, too critical, rigid, dogmatic, miserly.

Saturn in Virgo conserves the earth, disciplines health, organizes everything, details, analyses, helps us to focus on what to serve.

Pluto in Capricorn rules Big Business which it will slowly for better or worse restructure, demolish and rebuild. Saturn is Lord of Karma and hard work, rules Capricorn.  Pluto in the symbolic High Noon house asks us from our souls to find out where we want to shine brightest. Pluto as Lord of Death asks us to look at what our legacy is, as a culture, as humans at this particular place in time, as individuals, part of a collective.

So in this Retro grade grace period trine lets us also examine our beliefs about matter, the body, form, how attached we are to it, and to see experience and know that ultimately the material world of form our individual egos, and all the material goods that “matter” so much to us, are themselves only an illusion, in time, and that in itself is an illusion MAYA.

Pluto Lord of Souls can take us beyond it all, and help us to manifest more soulful ways of living at all levels.

Is your work right livlehood? That is, does it benefit people, is it harmless? Does it have no malignant or ruthless aspects to it? Is your work ultimately connected to nefarious people, companies, sharks?

I suppose all government, banks, police forces, big corporations, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, paint manufacturers, supermarkets, clothing companies, energy corporations, record companies, toy manufacturers,real estate agents- in short, virtually almost every business comes under the wrong livlihood umbrella when examined back to its roots.  Let’s just try to be more aware and clean this up.

Let’s bend and stretch our imaginations the best and fastest vehicle to travel in beyond the illusion, go through the wall so to speak and in more ways than one and connect with what is “real.” Ultimately only our “souls” are real, our hearts.

We can all being forgive ourselves and others their past transgressions, never mind what you didn’t do, regret or feel guilty about.

Regenerate and restructure your life now, rebuild bridges, careers, especially career as Saturn is in the natural 6^th house of work and Pluto in Capricorn is the natural 10^th house of career and wordly standing. This applies to everyone.

TAURUS, VIRGO, CAPRICORN BENEFICIAL TRINE TIME

This RETRO-TRINE gives us easy access to review our life direction, wills, take accounting, reorganize at all levels for everyone.

ALL EARTH SIGNS are in a very strong powerfull period now and for years to come. You’re the guys who do all the hard work and build it all so go to it. But reflect now on what and how and why you’re building and manifesting so much.

Natal Sun is at 2 degrees of Taurus, that is if your born April 22 or April 23^rd I know a couple of people born these days, make sure you use this energy now. if you’re born Aug 24 or 25 early Virgos, or if you’re born at Xmas time, December 24 or 25^th you get the benefits exactly on your Suns..

SAGITTARIUS, ARIES, GEMINI, CANCER, LIBRA, PISCES

Conversely people born in early Aries and Libra are getting kicked in the butt right now from Pluto Squaring their Suns.

Cancer Suns gets the two way effect of the opposition from Pluto. Early Pisceans get the oppositional kick in the butt from Saturn. The Trine will soften the kick.

For Pisceans Saturn opposite your Sun is helping you to bring your dreams into the manifest world.

For Cancerians build that dream house, that long term relationship, great time to get pregnant have a child, settle down, get that security.

Early Gemini’s and Sagittarians get the Square from Saturn in Virgo. Gemini you need the slap in the face of reality to ground you, this’ll soften the blow. You’ll be glad after. It’ll be easier for you to slow down and think about things like your future, what you’re building in your life, your long term goals, develop a little patience and persistence. You need that, even though Gemini’s are the Archetype of Peter Pan, figure out how to have fun while working hard and building.  Finish what you start, make sure you do your taxes and maybe think about life insurance and long term security investments. See yourself at the top and make a plan or hire a coach to help you, ditch the disorganization, get rid of most of the distractions, vow to stop procrastinating, think about what lasts, settle down.

For the fire Sagittarius it’s good to slow down and get grounded about where you’re flying off to in your life. You need to actually manifest in 3D your wildest dreams. Follow up on tat book you were going to finish, get rid of the clutter, get into the gym, remember you do have a body, take care of it, check up on your investments, but some land for the future, get some credentials if you need them, start teaching what you know, take yourself seriously. You’ve always been ahead of the crowd, validate that.

For ARIES patience will help you finish the races you start. Put all your great ideas into one big project, plan, build it, it will happen, stick with it.

You won’t like it, it will feel inhibiting but give it a try. It’s all in your mind anyway. This is what you need, build more projects, businesses, tactics, skills. Clean up your yard. Settle down a bit.

For the air signs Librans who gets the Pluto Square, it’s time to take stock of yourself. Don’t ask anyone else what they think or how they’d do it, don’t worry about the latest trend and fashion, and don’t worry about being a social outcast or being –heavens forbid-single! Make friends with yourself,

Review everything that’s likable, nay lovable about you and feel good about that. Decide what you can build, your ideal career, the office furnishings, the dinner parties, the networking all of it.

Last but not least LEO SCORPIO AQUARIUS

What about those early Leos Aquarians and Scorpios, those fixed signs? You’re either being quincunxed by Pluto if you’re an early Leo and by Saturn in Virgo if an early Aquarian. A Quincunx is a 150 degree angle that is irritating and holding you back from taking your full power until you get the kinks out and the Trine will help you iron it all out. The elements do not talk to each other, fire and earth and air and earth don’t mix it up ya see.

Early Scorpios are getting the nice ‘n easy Sextile, no it’s not sexy enough for you Scorpio’s but it’s kind of a huggy cozy squeeze from both Saturn and Virgo, so don’t go obsessing about the deeper meaning of it all just use it. Nice ‘n easy aren’t two words which are usually on the tip of your tongue so this is a lesson in a new format for a change.

HI LIGHTS

APRIL 2ND  PLUTO GOES RETROGRADE @  2:23 am PDT/ 5:23 am EDT-  TILL SEPT 8^TH 

MERCURY ENTERS ARIES Apr. 2ND @ 10:44 am PDT / 1: 44 pm EDT

VENUS ENTERS ARIES APRIL 5-6^TH

NEW MOON APRIL 5^TH  @  8:55 PM PDT/11:55 PM EDT

A BUSY WEEK MANY POWERFUL CHANGES &  NEW BEGINNINGS

PLUTO LORD OF THE UNDERWORLD had just barely dipped his toes into CAPRICORN testing the Saturn ruled BIG BIZ sign of Capricorn waters since Jan 25 08.

PLUTO now has an afterthought, he must have forgotten something back at the Galactic Center store- always open- and so he slowly Retrogrades back over those early and ZERO degrees of Capricorn considered to be the HIGH NOON for the World till June 14^th.  IT’s the stand off at the “Everything’s O.K. Corral”  Note to self- “It’s not. “

PLUTO’s force is powerful, psychological, atomic. The very stuff of matter in the Universe. Pluto recycles all waste. Pluto is extremism, obsession with power, reconstructs society.  Pluto rules the underground, sewers, cesspools, drains.  Pluto rules freedom from oppression either by an outside force or an inner one.  Pluto will manipulate to get its own needs met. It is non egoistic. It’s force can be used equally for good or ill. Remember that at 911 it was Pluto in Sagittarius opposed to Saturn in Gemini which created the impetus for the acting out of the destruction of  the World Trade Centers. Pluto is concerned with great loss for great gain. pLUTO resurrects lost causes into successful projects.

Pluto’s BREECH SHADOW REBIRTH BACK TO SAGITTARIUS

PLUTO rules over the collective unconscious, the shadow, the Soul. This is a breech rebirth of sorts back into SAGITTARIUS at those very “critical” last degrees, backing up to 28 degrees of SAGITTARIUS at the end of July and once again being within 1 degree of the Galactic Center till Sept 8^th when Pluto then turns direct.

The Galactic Center, that Black Hole is one of the main reasons {Venus crossing the Sun is the other} of what 2012 is all about. We’re inevitably heading into the crosshairs of that conjunction of the Sun on the ecliptic and the Galactic Center on that fateful Winter Solstice day. Better get your head into Galactic Receptor mode now. You’ll want to know for yourself just what is coming down the pipes.

NOW THIS IS REALLY THE LAST CHANCE PLUTONIAN/SAG. SALOON

FOR THE COLLECTIVE PSYCHE which PLUTO governs, this Re-session into SAGITTARIUS is symbolically the last time for us to have this opportunity to discard and recycle old and antiquated philosophies which have been running the world Unconsciously for too long. We get a major opp. to  legally wire tap into the Galactic Center’s Source of Soul Regeneration. This is a LIMITED TIME OFFER. When Pluto enters Capricorn you’ll have to wait 250 years for the chance to be available again. TIMING is everything. The Ancient and First religions were Star Gazing, that is the basis for all world religions.

 The Mayans say that the Galactic Center is the birth place and exit point of all Souls in this Galaxy. I for one have experienced in a vision that this is so. The Black Hole is a giant vacuum cleaner which will suck up all consciousness and change it.

PLUTO in SAGITTARIUS Aims for the TRUTH, honesty, aspirations, transformation and rebirth of  the COLLECTIVE SOUL. RELIGION needs to be overhauled now into a one world religion which is experienced directly  on a metaphysical plane. Sagittarius symbolizes the Human Spirit in control of the lower bodied animal instincts. Higher education of a truer purpose must replace the “dumbing down” which has been used by schools for years now.

 Aspirations, the Laws both man made and Higher Law, International Law and Media, Philosophies, Optimism and Humor, ethics, a connection to the Mysticism and the Stars- all of these are Sagittarian concerns.

PLUTO will stay at those “Critical” degrees until Nov 26^th when he finally stays put in Capricorn for the next 16 years- till 2024!

If the Gods from the Stars, are ever gonna show up this is their last show time. UFO’s are being sighted regularly all over the world now, info which has been secret is now being made public.

As Pluto never mind the silly demotion, is extremely powerful when Retrograde. We all have a chance to reflect on our personal philosophies our lives structure so far, revision the map of our lives and decide what stays and what goes.

Think about when structures you will build, what goals your Soul aims to climb to the top of when Pluto enters Capricorn again in Nov.

To further emphasize the newness of awareness Mercury, fleet footed messenger of the Gods who rules consciousness itself enters Aries on the 2^nd as well.  Less than 2 weeks since the Spring Equinox Mercury crosses the Cardinal Spring access point jumpstarting new ideas, communications.

And to sweeten the pot Goddess Venus also crosses the zero Aries point on April 5^th invigorating new values, romances, beauty, harmony, artistry, and relationships.

Apr.  3^rd Mercury squares Pluto @ 1:54 am PDT/ 4:54 am EDT

So those ideas are gonna get kickassed by Pluto’s depths pretty quick. Those communications gotta have staying power in order to last.

Venus Squares Pluto on the 6^th @ 8:48 pm PDT/ 11:48 pm EDT

I am testing out a new format for my Astrology predictions:

plese let me know how you like it. Your feedback is always welcome.

Moon Travels This Week

Hi lighting SCORPIO SAGITTARIUS & CAPRICORN

As the Moon passes through each one of the signs every month, the Moon will cross over and  blend Her energies with your Natal Sun Sign. This becomes your very own personal NEW MOON PHASE aside from the Outer New Moon phase which occurs each month. This event becomes a very important and highly significant time for each of us.

If you are a Scorpio Sagittarian or Capricorn then you get to celebrate your very own personal monthly New Moon phase this week.

 It’s your monthly emotional instinctual psychic renewal period blending the instincts and feelings of the Moon with the Solar light consciousness of your Sun.  Set some time aside for reflection {the Moon} and new intentions each month as the Moon crosses your Natal Sun.

Conversely if you are a TAURUS, GEMINI or CANCER Sun Sign then the Moon creates a personal Full Moon phase for each one of you during this week as it opposes your Natal Sun Sign. Full Moon phases are times to stop and be grateful for all that has been accomplished or fulfilled during this time period. A Full Moon is the balancing of the books phase when the Lights, Sun and Moon are in equal harmonious or oppositional phases. You may feel pulled in two directions, but let your Natal Sun dance in balance with the transitting Moon opposite.

And what about the other 6 signs?

When the Moon passes through SCORPIO-

AQUARIUS AND LEO get squared by the Moon.  You may feel emotionally challenged to act. Instincts will be sharpened, feelings need to be released. Both signs may be ultra stubborn and fixated by the Moon.

When Moon passes through SAGITTARIUS-

PISCES and VIRGO get squared by the Moon.

Fiery Sagittarian Moon ignites Watery Pisces to the boiling point and inspires Spiritual Idealism, Optimism and action. Pisces feel less broody and more willing to do, act on their dreams. Pisces can vent all that steam about being martyrs.

Fire and Earth don’t mix well so Sag. Moon energy scorches Virgo’s earthy practical desires. All squares are like sand in the oyster which makes them create Pearls. In other words they spur one to create beauty out of irritations.

 As Sagittarius is a mutable sign and so is Virgo movement is more fluid, spiritual creative and passionate fiery feelings and practical insights can be blended easily.

When Moon traverses CAPRICORN-

ARIES and LIBRA get hit up by the Square aspect. 

This is the big Cardinal square and Cardinal signs always want to be first, numero uno, very pushy independent types. Expect lots of fire, action, pouts, fist waving, with Aries. Sulking, acting gracious on the surface, and being irritable about feeling pushed to  make up one’s mind with Libra.

Scorpio Water Moon  from Easter Sunday – Moon in Scorpio on 23rd @  10:06 pm EDT/ 7:06 pm PDT

SCORPIO MOON PHASES are the heaviest most intense days emotionally. Your intuition and insights are razor sharp. Will is strengthed. Power ups the ante now. Scorpio is the sign most concerned with rawness,
