NOV 5  V for Vendetta, Victory, Vesta, SEXY Scorpio New Moon, Neptune chiron move Direct and more

This Nov 5 markes the 405th anniversary of a British tradition-{ after all the Queen is still the head of America and Canada} so might as well join the fun and celebrate Guy Fawkes Day- who? Also known as Bonfire Night, at several sites near the Mildenhall and Lakenheath air bases and many other spaces across GB.

In 1605, Fawkes was found to be part of a plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament in London using kegs of gunpowder. Today, areas all around Britain celebrate with bonfires, fireworks and the burning of effigies. Wow, they celebrate and honour anarchists!  Doing so turns down the heat of said Anarchists Burn Baby Burn factor.

The anarchistic story was woven into a modern graphic novel called V for Vendetta by Brit Alan Moore and then made into a major motion picture as they say in 2006 with a screenplay by the famed Wachowski Bros of MATRIX fame doing their part.

With all the recent March for Sanity/Tea Partyrucus/rumpus/raucous/caucaus-ing the Dem's lose the House but still retain control of Senate!

So in the name of the times, and not to be thought of as a pyromaniac.got a light? anyone?

Scorpio New Moon couldn't be a better background to the revolutionary theme. A foreboding of things to come.

Moon enters watery, intense, power, control, sex, secrets; obsession bound 8th sign of Scorpio at 2:16 am EDT Nov 5. Moon promptly conjuncts Venus, the sexy Love Goddess who seems very heavily under the influence in Scorpio, with dishevelled stockings, garters, kinky wear and other Halloween fetish leftovers. She's been working overtime since a New Moon in Virgo on Sept 8th when she first entered Scorpio waters. { Jupiter Retrogradingly entered Pisces that day too}. So the scheming, obsessive, soul passion of Scorpio has been XXXtremely HOT and intensely passionate for these past 2 months, perhaps simmering beneath the surface and waiting to erupt like a volcanoes lava.

Venus has been Retro since Oct 8, at 13 degrees 14 mins of Scorpio, the exact same degree as this New moon.  Venus re-enters Libra Nov 7th as Neptune {the higher octave of Venus} turns Direct. Venus turns Direct in motion Nov. 18th at 27 degrees and 44mins of Libra.

She will be seen rising as the Morning Star from her Innanna journey to the Underworld on she remains in Scorpio, ruled by the War God Mars, till the Years' end.  Things have lightened up a bit since Mars moved ahead of Venus into light-hearted truth seeking fiery Sagittarius on Oct 27.

Venus went retro grade at 13 degrees of Scorpio 14 mins of pass the degree she  

SCORPIO NEW MOON occurs at the 13th degree + change Nov. 5 at 9:54pm PDT which is Nov. 6th @ 12:52 am.

Chiron the Wounded Healer, a real cosmic body and also a famed Greek Mythological/ Archetypal Centaur, half human/ half horse, who just had his 33 year Anniversary of discovery on Nov 1st turns Direct this day too. We've spent since June 4th with a Retro Wound that wouldn't heal. Now the healing begins. During Chiron's Retro journey our weakness, pain and vulnerabilities are more pronounced, as we "fall through the cracks " and open to the compassion and light by accepting our own wounds, the healing process proceeds. We've been cocooning that healing process in the dark, but now Chiron’s direct motion signals that, what we've suffered in our old wounds can come out into the Light of day as a transformed butterfly to find a new flight path in beauty. A fitting Scorpio birth death transformation motif.

Venus went retro grade at 13 degrees of Scorpio 14 mines of pass the degree she  

Venus has been Retro since Oct 8 , at 13 degrees 14 mins of Scorpio, the exact same degree as this New moon.  So this is a New retro-begin again, a sense of relocating back to that very same wavelength of reality in our Values which Venus rules.

Venus re-enters Libra on Nov 7th as Neptune {the higher octave of Venus} turns Direct. So the symbols are re-turning, re-tuning, re-visioning, dreaming in forwards motions now. Pay attention and see if your dream imagery changes as Neptune changes direction and moves forwards, Neptune rule the dream world, and the visioning spiritual world too.

Venus turns Direct in motion Nov. 18th at 27 degrees and 44 mins of Libra. So then values, money, arts, romance can all get going again after the Retro rest period. Resting is good. 

Venus will be seen rising as the Morning Star as she rises from her Innanna journey to the Underworld . She remains in Scorpio, ruled by the War God Mars, till the Years' end.  Things have lightened up a bit since Mars moved ahead of Venus into light-hearted truth seeking fiery Sagittarius on Oct 27.

Venus will pass the degree she turned retro on Dec 21st which is the day of a very powerful Lunar eclipse symbolically as it occurs on the Winter Solstice and my intuition just got a very real sense of an entirely new beginning flurrying in with much snow to awaken people on a very deep and profound level consciously on that date. One of the "4 corners" of the year. And we are but 2 years from the famous Dec 21 2012 Mayan "end date" then.

SCORPIO NEW MOON occurs at the 13th degree + change Nov. 5 at 9:54pm PDT which is Nov. 6th @ 12:52 am.

Chiron the Wounded Healer, a real cosmic body and also a famed Greek Mythological/ Archetypal Centaur, half human/ half horse, who just had his 33 year Anniversary of discovery on Nov 1st turns Direct this day too. We've spent since June 4th with a Retro Wound that wouldn't heal. Now the healing begins. During Chiron's Retro journey our weakness, pain and vulnerabilities are more pronounced, as we "fall through the cracks " and open to the compassion and light by accepting our own wounds, the healing process proceeds. We've been cocooning that healing process in the dark, but now Chiron’s direct motion signals that, what we've suffered in our old wounds can come out into the Light of day as a transformed butterfly to find a new flight path in beauty. A fitting Scorpio birth death transformation motif.

This New Moon illuminates that we must be ready to take a Quantum Leap. According to Mayan Cosmology, which maps 16.4 BILLION years, the approximate age of our Universe according to modern astrophysics, we are ending the last chapter of their entire calendrical opus.

The Mayan Sacred calendar describes the fundamental steps of creation in 13 stages or Heavens, divided into seven days and six Nights, each of which encompasses 9 levels or Underworlds.

These Underworlds mark major evolutionary developments from basic cells to mammals, tribal, regional, planetary, galactic and universal expressions of consciousness. Amazing!

The theme for the previous Underworld {Planetary- 1775-1999} was power

The focus of the current Underworld {Galactic=1999-2011} is Ethics.

Each Underworld is 20 times shorter than the previous cycle, exponentially speeding up the pace of creation.

Days represent times of new creations and increased awareness

Nights represent periods of adjustment and integration.

The Sixth Night which began November 8, 2009 - November 3, 2010 was about applying what was learned during the 6th Day which cycle ran from November 12, 2008-November 8, 2009 and a further breakdown and transformation of unethical structures lingering from he last cycle. That sounds very clear and correct in terms of what we've been seeing in our culture.

The 7th day, not to be confused with Seventh day Adventists, began on Nov 3, 2010 and will run till October 28, 2011, which represents the closing days of duality and the transition from duality to UNITY CONSCIOUSNESS. Holistic, no opposition in your mind, Oneness, a very Aquarian type of sensibility.

So according to the Maya- who are alive and well and thriving in the Yucatan in Mexico especially now that their 400 years of karmic debt paying is over since 1992. All of us are whether we believe in this or know about it are are at a major turning point collectively in Humanity's consciousness as symbolized partly by the Scorpio New MOON remember there is only One Scorpio New Moon a Year.

We have just entered the LAST PHASE of new consciousness. I am sure you are feeling like me, time is going faster and faster. Information is downloaded, uploaded and virtually instantaneous. Even my daughter at 10 two years ago said that time was going fast! An unheard of statement form a child. SO if she feels stime is going fast then it must be so, as children don't have the experience of memory and experience through time that older people do.

On this Scorpio death rebirth transformation New Moon- rat the beginning of the Seventh and last symbolic Day really let go of the need for drama, power, obsession, secrets, control. Do you have /use sex for power? Why do you need to control everything? What are your deepest darkest most forbidden desires, and secrets? Open it all up and let it out, then they can be transformed. And your Self, your Soul, transformed, awakened, reborn.

Vesta, the asteroid of Feminine Fire, focus, sacredness, healing and surrendering to the Divine and eternal, the ever- changing, ebbing and flowing tides of life plays a major part in this New moon cycle.

Vesta, whose name may be familiar to us as Vestal Virgins, were not Virgins in the Catholic sense at all. In Ancient Roman times Vestal was the guardian of the inner fires, {kindalini} of sacred sexuality}. In ancient times, sexuality was considered to be sacred, not profane. All women spent time as Vestal virgins in the temples honouring Vesta. They kept a scared fire, a sacred flame burning in her honor. Fire symbolized, light, life, and focus. The Vestal Virgins initiated men and healed warriors returning from battle who were considered unholy from bloodshed; they needed to be ritually cleansed by having sacred sex with one of the Vestal Virgins who embodied the Goddess on earth. Her Sacred fiery passion was a cleansing balm. The men once they had partaken of ritual sexual healing with one of the Virgins could return home safely and integrate into normal life again. Vestal Virgin sacred sex cured PTSS. Virgin in the ancient original sense meant a woman who was whole and complete unto herself.

Vesta is at 15 degrees of Scorpio. And right next to Her and between the Conjunct Moon and Sun lies the midpoint of the Galactic Center of our Milky Way Galaxy. {GC} and the SUPER GALACTIC CENTER {SGC}. These are potent areas of space that transmit tremendous amounts of electromagnetic energy in the form of gamma, ultraviolet, and x-rays and other types of stellar radiation.

VERY VERY SIGNIFICANT PORTENDS OF SIGNIFICANT TIMES

This symbolizes, is another portentous cosmic trumpet herald along with the beginning of the last phase in the Mayan calendar a symbolic wake up call!
Need more?

Pluto, modern co- ruler of Scorpio conjoins the NORTH NODE at 3 degrees of Capricorn. The North Node [Dragon’s Head} as it transits, represents the collective’s openness. The North Node of the Moon represents the highest spiritual goals. Pluto conjunct the North Node on a personal level would mean  “time to ensoul yourself.” So enlarge that function to the entire world.

Speaking of the world. Asteroid Ceres, Goddess of the Earth itself is at 8 degrees, of Capricorn joins in and is Squared by Saturn in Libra. This pins down, structures, generates a karmic snapshot in time.

CHIRON AND NEPTUNE TURN DIRECT

Chiron and Neptune at 25 and 26 degrees of Aquarius are only 10 minutes apart now. The two planets Chiron the wounded healer and Neptune ruler of Spirituality, Soul Mates, oil, dreams, illusions, delusions, addictions, fantasy, credit card debt will remain in close proximity within 10 degrees of each other for an entire seven year period, 2007-2014 symbolizing the need to see ourselves as part of a collective of humans, beyond any separations as unique individuals, very much the Mayan calendar echoing

Chiron stations direct at 2:42 pm Nov 5^th. Neptune stations direct Nov. 6^th 11:04 pm PDT and Neptune turns direct on the 7^th at 1:04 am EDT. Both have been Retrograde for the past five months. 

Last but not least the Sabian symbol for the Scorpio New MOON

At 14 degrees of Scorpio – “Telephone lineman at work installing new connections; the need to establish new channels of communications.”

And Canadians please protest vigorously the recent CRTC ruling about paying for every download and user fees for Internet usage.

This is the opposite non-conscious, non-evolutionary force of Government beaurocracy, the neo-cons/fascist attempted take over. Rob the poor, guild the vaults of the rich, stop government se4rvices, force work camps, and make everyone slave and pay pay pay for everything, HST is a farce too.

We see in France the people taking the law and the gas supplies into their own hands, it doesn’t take that much to stop a country.

This is just the beginning. Vive La France. Let the revolution begin.

Venus Retrograde Alert! Serious New Moon in Libra & more Astrology Updates from Tara Greene Ó

Libra New Moon Oct 7 @ 11:45 am PDT/ 2:45 pm EST / 6:45 pm GMT

Oct 7 is a pretty seriously Airy Libran New Moon at the exact middle degree of the sign making it Xtra strong. Saturn is hanging about at 8 degrees – that’s a conjunction to the Sun and Moon. Saturn seriousifies the usual Lite n’ easy Relationship side of Libra. Time to get serious about that significant squeeze. Mercury is conjunct Saturn too at 7 degrees. This is a stellium- 4 planets in one sign Quadruple strength.

Saturn is considered exalted in Libra. Co-operation is the keynote. Fairness, balance, cultured, nice. Not too tough, not too serious, just like the little bears’ chair, porridge and bed was for Goldilocks.

MAY 10th

Cosmic GPS, Mercury almost direct, musings..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BONO! andmy friend Sissell in Norway.

Seems that Mercury retro Emails, more than usual, carry all kinds of projected emotions, don’t you think? Have you been experiencing this the last three weeks?

During a Mercury Retrograde  in Taurus,  communications get conflaberated on a very physical, earthy viscerally level as well as in very mundane, practical- the usual appointment changes, cancellations etc. I would have to testify it feels like hacked intercepted intentions..

So how have your words  gotten garbled in the translation of immediacy? As we go faster and faster in time, how will we communicate effectively? Felt truth, being in touch with one’s self and inner truth needs slowness, stillness, space. 

VENUS IN GEMINI/ MERCURY IN TAURUS

Venus travelling through Gemini since April 24th has certainly helped speed values, love, money angels and devils thing up and down the market like crazy!  Whilst Mercury in Taurus Retro slows the comunications down to couch potato pace and also sees the two planets in Mutual reception with each other, facilitating harmonious interactions. Mutual reception occurs when two planets are in each others’ home signs. Trading spaces very happily..

If you don’t mesh with Venus in Airy flirty flighty duelling twins sign for now, be patient…Mercury Retro in Taurus will help teach you that. Be strong like ox, don’t jump to conclusions. Nothing is what it seems these days. These are karmic lessons time too, with Saturn Retro in Virgo now as well, more later..

Love and Mushy stuff at home as Venus enters Cancer May 19th

Venus in Cancer is Esther Williams. The Mermaid Queen. It’s  all emotional security, nurturing, Mom, apple pie, old fashioned weddings, engagements, house parties… {Tara will come to your special event in the GTA}. Venus puts on her apron and steams up the kitchen still managing to be the Domestic Goddess unparallelled. Good time for fertility with Venus in Cancer. Always wanted a swimming pool? hot tub?An exotic cruise? A Goldfish pond to call your own? Now’s the time to get one. 

Mercury goes Direct May 11th @ 3:22 pm PDT/ 6:22 pm EDT/22:22 GMT

But things won’t be fully functioning at their peak until Mercury clear its shadow, not till May 22- 23 when Mercury passes 12 degrees 38 minutes of Taurus.

All retrogrades bring headaches but also good renew/review times. Discovering old sensual delights in Taurus? Packed on a pound or two? Feeling slow as molasses? { never mind the pun there}

Mercury’sTaurus Retrograde has had us reviewing how we use our assets, our money, our tools. What, how, where are we planting our seeds? What kind of water are we using?  How are we fertilizing our seeds? Hopefully not with bulls**t but with integrity, truth, honesty, forthrightness. Stubborness? Rigidity? Taurus is a Fixed sign.

Something I thought of yesterday.. I was thinking about an old friend of mine. She has recently split form her husband. She is a Virgo. Very meticulous, intelligent, organized. The thought was, Virgos aren’t Pisceans.  Sounds very obvious, but there was a felt-sense of just how the two polar opposites operate.  All oppositions, duality is connected intimately. Pisces would cry, would be prone to falling apart, to run away from reality, retreat into denial, addictions, reveries, melancholy, diffusing all her energy.

Virgos would get very practically down to the new work, the new task, Though wanting to be of service I felt that Virgos are are also self-serving.  I was thinking about the current Saturn in late Virgo opposite Uranus in late Pisces stand off at the same time. 

Everyone  is feeling like they’re driving with the brakes on. That’s what these two  symbolis as well as the break down of the old Patriarchal, old boys network. Virgo is the sign connected to the Earth, to health, to digesting ideas. Virgo is the sign of accountants, writers, perfectionists. We must act now to heal the Earth, Saturn is Karma. Uranus is asking us to invent new ways of dreaming, of using water as energy, using spirit to manifest our dreams. Uranus in Pisces is the mental breakthrough to our Higher calling. Uranus in Pisces helps the ego to dissolve into the whole from where it came. Uranus is almost through its last 7 year jaunt through the last sign of the Zodiac.

MAY 27th URANUS ENTERS ARIES!!!!

This is the start of a whole new BIG ballgame. Uranus is the planet of revolution, sudden change, higher consciousness, group work, technology, freedom. Uranus takes approximately 84 years to make one complete transit around the bases. Uranus is now where it was on March 31 1927. A lot’s changed. HAPPY URANUS RETURN if this is Your 83rd Birthday. It sounds like getting your ASSETS back. Hey, that’s a good thing.

NOTE: All persons with planets, points, and angles at early degrees of Cardinal signs, Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn get ready to fire yourself or get fired, out of a cannon!

If you need help with ascertaining how this new planetary picture is affecting YOUR LIFE in all its aspects- career, love, health, money, spiritually, Please contact Tara to get the clear,incisive, insight and caring you deserve. taragreene@sacredartscentre.com

Jupiter joins Uranus on June 8th. That should be one VERY explosive day. I would pick that day as a day bound for bombings, explosions, surprise attacks, road rage, shootings, Revolutions beginning, fires raging out of control. The G20 summit in Toronto is June 26-27.

Saturn is Retrograde until May 30th. Saturn went Retro Jan 13th. July 21st Saturn re-enters Libra where he will remain till October  5, 2012.

The revolution is heating up quickly. It is instant karma time. 2012 is counting down quickly. 

You must decide to follow your heart. What was planted, seeded in the 60′s is due to start sprouting now in real terms. Thoughts are emotions, karmic ties, create reality.

Pluto in Caprcorn is making us Get Real.

Saturn in Libra brings balance and harmony. SAturnis exalted in Libra, makes things a titch easier if both sides are considered. Do we opt for fairness and peace? Are we tipping the blanace too much?

Libra Full Moon March 29-30 and more from Tara Greene 

Tara Greene Tarot Reader Astrology Intuitive Psychic  copyright  2010-infinity

The 1st Full Moon this spring is at 9 degrees of Libra at 7:27 pm PDT/ 10:27 pm EDT March 29; 2:27 am GMT March 30th

The First Full Moon of Spring 2010 marks the first night of Passover for Jewish people. For thousands of years the families gather to retell and commemorate the ancient story of being slaves in Egypt under cruel Pharaoh’s rule for three hundred years. It’s the story of Moses, his vision of Yahweh as a Burning Bush on Mt. Sinai, telling him how to lead the Jewish people to freedom. In the story/myth Yahweh sent plagues against the Egyptians, allowed the Jews to cross the Red Sea, finally the Pharaoh relented when God slew all the first born sons of the Egyptians including Ramses own son; the Jews wandering in the desert for 40 years, the Ten commandments. This story I’ve made a very general telling, has been repeated at Passover for two nights always on a Full Moon for thousands of years.
What does this story have to do with this current Libran Full Moon?

The Enfulled Moon is in Libra sign of the Balance. The Scales of Justice, Law, is what Libra is all about.
In other words, Karma, cause and effect. The balance of any duality, opposing forces, male, female, new vs. old, dark vs. light, etc. On this Full Moon we see our emotions {the karmic glue itself} for the entire scope of Humanity in the Balance.

SATURN, Lord of karma, is now Retrograde at 00 degrees 39 minutes of Libra, and Uranus the planet that breaks down whatever Saturn creates is at 27 degrees of Pisces. The old guard {Saturn} and the Revolution as symbolized by Uranus the freedom awakener have been in a close opposition ever since Election Day in the United States in Nov. 2009 when Barrack Obama won.

The Passover story is one of wandering in the Wasteland, in the dry desert Enduring trials and keeping the Faith. We are at a concurrent phase in our lives right now.
SATURN will re-enter Virgo on April 7th and remain there till July 21st so this gives us time to finish up any old Hermetic Virgo like business during this time period. Be very meticulous in all work related health and business during this time. Saturn is the cosmic cop and any unfinished business will be in your face, one more lesson to be dealt with.

SATURN DÉJÀ VU FROM Oct 2009
Saturn was last in Virgo October 29 2009 so whatever you were dealing with then will be back if you didn’t do your entire home work! This applies to nations and individuals. It can be a GRACE period to, all Retrogrades bring us time to rethink, rebalance.
There maybe major déjà vu’s financially during this time period, also related to food recalls, missed details on assembly lines. We are already seeing the Health { VIRGO} bill recently passed by President Obama going back to be re-voted on.

PLUTO, at 5 degrees of Capricorn Squares this Moon, highlighting our shadow materials, our deep unconscious drives which no longer serve our greatest growth and regeneration. Pluto’s energies are strongest now as Pluto is moving v-e-r-y slowly about to go Retrograde April 6th. Individuals born at the beginning of the Cardinal signs Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn, the Ingresses of the seasons will feel the effects the strongest. If you know your chart any planets at these important stationary points are also under the mighty sway and influences of major changes.
MERCURY AND VENUS are within 3 and bit degrees of each other in Aries at 24 degrees Merc. & 27 degrees Venus, indicating fast and fiery Aries independent thinking, new consciousness { Mercury} new ways to communicate. Venus in Aries is in her Amazon phase, independent, passionate, defensive.
Put ‘em both together and what d’ ya got? Women speaking out, Feminine values initiating new changes and growth; warrior mentality; falling in love with the quick tongued mercurial one, being too hasty, fools rushing in. Initiating changes too quickly with the resulting defensive mindsets.
Have we spent too much too fast in promoting these growth incentives in government do ya think?

MARS, ruler of Aries, males, agression rules the Sun, Mercury and Venus in Aries right now. Mars  is slowly regaining ground in Leo and is at 2 degrees. Things are beginning to move forwards. Mars is Quincunxing Pluto an irritable aspect, so tempers are very excitable right now. Lots of fire element equals threats are made in haste, may be regretted afterwards. War thought are being generated, doesn't bode well for peace talks at the moment.

JUPITER at 16 degrees of Pisces { already!} asks us to have compassion, compassion and more compassion. Bliss out, don’t space out, don’t escape.

FORESHADOWING OF 2012
URANUS at 27 degrees of Pisces is squaring the Galactic Center at 27 degree of Sagittarius. The G.C. is what all the 2012 end of the Mayan calendar date is all about. Its’ the Sun crossing at the xact midpoint on the winter Solstice 2012. See what else I’ve written about the Galactic Center at
http://taratarotweb.tripod.com/id37.html

Uranus is the revolutionary, Freedom, Break through Consciousness, the Big Picture, Galactic wiring, Humanitarian Collectives, new inventions.I don’t know about you but I am sure feeling my brain on overload. I am so wired. “Don’t need no coffee in my cup” as Van Morrison once sang.
If you missed it when Pluto was conjunct the G.C. in 2007 or id you want to tune into new dimensions of reality now’s the time to really break open your head.
CHIRON & NEPTUNE-
Neptune is the oceanic Pisces version of itunes of course. The planet that rules Pisces and the Wounded healer continue to their airy liberating, healing dance, cheek to cheek at 27 and 28 degrees of Aquarius now. Let go, let go let go.

BETTER HURRY! THE LAST DEGREE TO GET YOUR HEALING DONE
CHIRON will enter 29 degrees of Aquarius - “the critical degree” March 30/ April 1st.
Did you know that the word Critic and its derivatives comes from the Indian Kritika, the Fates who measured out your life. The Centaur Chiron Wounded healer will be at the last degree only till April 19th when it enters Pisces the last and most spiritual signs ushering into an entire new level of alternative, spiritual, chakra, Shamanic, dream healing, energy healing and balancing programme.

CHIRON ENTERS PISCES APRIL 19TH
After being in Aquarius for almost five years we’ve gotten a little used to Chiron in Aquarius. Chiron the Wounded Healer will retrograde back into Aquarius from July 20- Feb 8, 2011 before settling into a sign that enhances Chiron’s nature. Chiron’s time in Aquarius has made us aware of reforms needs in health care, civil liberties, management, inclusive communications, technology where we connect more fully with each other.Chiron in Pisces will heighten everyone’s sensitivity, deep feelings, compassion, helping us to know our innate interconnectedness with Spirit and the All.
Many, many many more new changes coming very soon so stay Neptuned in.

Astrology Updates by Tara Greene Ó 2010

How do you spell Relief? Mars Direct. Venus in Aries. NEW MOON in Pisces and BIG CHANGES coming up!

Since December 20, 2009… didn’t that seem like aeons ago? Mars appeared to move backwards, going Retrograde from 19 degrees 42 minutes of Leo. That was one day before the winter solstice.   Mars Retrograding through Leo all this time dragged our hearts, pride and it’s fall, courage, dramas, entitled-ness, childish egos,  leadership, romances, children, bossiness.

ass-backwards for all these months.

As for m’self, and I’ve spoken to lots and lots of people it’s been a very irritable, aggravating, frustrating time. Didn’t ya feel it?  Oy! Lugging all those tons of karmic bricks around, { not to mention Saturn’s Retrograde too now} it was taking triple the amount of willpower and energy to accomplish anything. Poor President Obama, and a whole lot of other failures and disasters of many magnitudes that occurred over these many months. My tired heart goes out to you all.

But the GOOD NEWS is that on March 10^th Mars finally stopped the old Rx  and turned Direct at Zero degrees 18 minutes of Leo spelling Relief!

As Mars turned direct at the Zero point of Leo we all been re-set to have new beginnings in our hearts and new non ego lessons to learn.

Hopefully we all dropped that old ego { like Yul Brynner in the King & I} show during the past few months. Mars will spend almost 8 moths in total in Leo  {rather than the usual few weeks in one sign} because of the long retro and recovery period Oct 16 2009 – June 6, 2010.

and it'll take until May 17th for Mars to overtake his Retro- turn degree. During this fiery, passionate, will full period we all get to learn a lot about being drama Queens and Kings and how much better it feels to be innocent like children once again.

VENUS IN ARIES, AMAZON time March 7- March 31.

Since March 7th, one day before International Women’s Day Venus enters the 1^st fiery sign of the Zodiac Aries. No more hesitation or 2nd guessing with Venus in Aries. I like it, buy it now! Stock market up? Venus in Aries. Fall in love in less than 458 seconds, Venus In Aries. Venus wears an Amazon cloak and the Love Goddess is also a very sexy siren in a slinky fire engine red dress.  Venus in Aries is fearless, demonstrative, impulsive, angry, independent, bossy, initiating, wearing her heart on her hardhat, or crown. The Empress is seated on the Emperor’s throne. She is dazzling, daring, provocative, and sexy. She knows what she wants and maybe jumps in often over her flaming red-hot head. But there’s not much she can’t handle or cat fight her way out of.

NEW MOON March 15, 2010 – QUINTUPLE PISCES PLANETARY line up!

Just in case you might of missed it with four planets… There’s Jupiter at 13 degrees of the Fishes, Moon & Sun at 25 degrees + , Mercury the Messenger at 26 degrees of, a mere 3 seconds from URANUS. Sounds kind of like the message is up yours but really it  isn't. Five is the sacred number of the Goddess.

PISCES ENDINGS

As the consciousness of time and energy all speed up, integrate, coalesce, and instant karma is so much more real, and acknowledged by the collective, as we sense our inter- connections more and more and feel just how we all do co-create this galaxy, this life, these situations, dramas and karmas. We can also wake up, let go, stop playing the scapegoats and martyrs, we can acknowledge and release ourselves from our voluntary prisons of one form or another be they, poverty, fear, trust, abandonment, bad romances, addictions, negativity, ignorance, tyrannies of one kind or another. Our delusions around organized religious doctrines sexism, racism, fascism, separationism, reality, etc. can also be gently allowed to float merrily downstream.

All New Moons are new beginnings, new opportunities to turn the tide. This one should indeed have a tidal force wave towards Novelty, towards the xpanded consciousness that is effortlessly advancing us towards time wave Zero- Dec. 21, 2012.

Surf your own personal emotional tidal wave. Have a major release party. Let go; Let it be, forgive, finally! Be engulfed in the emotional resonance of the Bliss of the ALL.  We are all in he cosmic Soup together. We are the soup and the nuts. We are also energetically transitioning from the Age of Pisces, begun at Christ's birth 2010 years ago approximately, moving in to the Aquarian Age of Humanity, electric thinking, the Big Picture, the cosmic connection, consciousness Itself..

Carl Jung the famous Psychologist, Freud’s renegade, said there are only two emotions Love and Fear.  It is time to collapse the duality, we are the event horizon, we are only love love and love. Love by any other name…

Uranus exactly conjuncts Mercury within an hr of this New moon so innovative ideas and electrical waves of Bliss ride your neural pathways at that time.

Use the New Moon to reflect on how far you’ve grown emotionally; let old baggage simply drift away. We are entering a brave new world of our own devise. Pisces is the sign of Miracles. If ya don’t expect ‘em to show up, knocking at your door, they won’t.

A little digression here, Sat March 13 there is a Moon Neptune, Chiron conjunction in Aquarius and later this day Moon enters Pisces. And speaking of Pisces and dreaming…I woke up this morning March 13^th from a deep dream of carnivals, craft shows. A friend of mine Derra was in the dream saying she wished she had brought her paintings to show.

There was also a message as I woke up. The message said, “If we don’t heal our pain we can never heal the world. The world’s pain and anguish go away as our own personal pain is resolved. It felt like I’d heard that sort of message before but until it becomes personal, experienced, felt in our own way, in a way in which we can really hear the message we may as well be deaf, tuned out, zombie-like, distracted, harried or otherwise karmically missing the boat.  This New Moon is the boat. So All aboard the Pisces Peace and Bliss Boat now. Sail on.

LEO FULL MOON Jan 29- Jan 30 2010

LET YOUR LOVE LIGHT SHINE Ó Tara Greene

Very unique configuration Balance of the Lovers

SUN conjunct Venus in Aquarius / Moon conjunct Mars in Leo

Jan 29 @ 10 degrees + Aquarius/Leo 10:18 pm PST

Jan 30  @ 1:18 am EST / Jan 30 @ 6:18 am GMT

 When I first saw this configuration I went wow it’s a perfect eternity loop and dance of the balance of opposites in perfect harmony in opposing signs.  This is as symbol and pointer of the Alchemical Sacred Marriage of the Masculine and Feminine aligning, holding the tension of the opposites.

It’s a perfect Cosmic symbol of the Tarot  TRUMP # 14 TEMPERANCE  aka ART in the Thoth Tarot, which I use.

With the Sun,the symbol of Divine Light, Life, daylight consciousness, the ego, identity in Aquarius the sign opposite Leo which it rules, the Sun is partaking of Aquarius Airy non-ego, group consciousness, individual identity, freedom, revolutionary thought,  tech, inventions, new style of leadership.

Witness the President of the US with an Aquarius ascendant he is a Leo.

The Sun is with Venus the Goddess of Love 4 degrees+ away from the Sun. That’s close. Venus brings Values and Love feminine grace, feelings and beauty to Aquarian detachment.

Venus in Aquarius brings higher consciousness in partnership,

Freedom in relationships { are Brangelina splitting now?} romance, love of our fellow humans, group co-operation which is being shown large on the world stage with help for the poor Haitians.

So it’s a symbol of the Feminine the Goddess energy merging  with the centre of Life and Light, taking center stage with the Sun.  As Divine partners, the Light of the Feminine is rising on this Leo Full Moon with Passion, pizzazz, regal ness,

Courage, daring, leadership, power, heart, for the children. Leo rules the child, with willpower, the power of LOVE AND LIGHT is the most powerful source there is. It is a divine symbol of ALL THAT IS. THE LIGHT IS LOVE, LOVE IS THE SOURCE.

MOON AND MARS DANCE CHEEK TO CHEEK

Opposite the Sun and Venus is the Moon at 10 degrees of Leo and Mars at 9 degrees. Even hotter. Mars is the ruler of Aries the first fiery passionate sign, so Mars works well in Leo’s fires but he is still Retrograde remember? How could we forget?

Old lovers, old macho attitudes, old defences wearing away slowly? Everything taking sooo long to get anything done?

The Macho is going into a looking backwards view of itself which is being reflected by the Moon’s silvery mirror.

Mars in Leo shows the old kings falling from their lofty self-centered ego- thrones. Moon is reflecting her feminine mirror through Leo’s ego stance. Moon in Leo is authentic self-expression, drama, flourish, will power, determination, action, courage, and the child.

Feelings and instincts {the Moon} will feel more defensive and raw during this Lunation are we can also tune in more subtly and be more sensitive to, the child within.

Full Moons bring Light to the shadow the opposition of Dark and Light, Masculine and feminine the Grand duality Illusion of yin and yang. The magnetic force which attracts and keeps all things moving in the divine dance of Love .

SATURN SQUARE PLUTO

Saturn and Pluto aka Father Time and Lord of the Underworld move into the 2^nd of 3 exact squares in Libra-Capricorn. It’s a karmic balancing act for the Plutocrats of the world. High noon.

The first exact square was on Nov 15 2009 at 1 degree 42 minutes, the 2nd is on the 31^st @ 4 degrees 21 minutes Libra Capricorn and the 3^rd will be Aug 21^st 2010 at 2 degrees 55 mins.

All early CARDINAL SIGNS Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn are feeling the push pull of new structure, death, rebirth, crisis in consciousness, building new beginnings in partnerships, business, relationships.  Father Time and Pluto is pushing us to let go of the old so we can evolve.  Saturn in Libra stresses co-operation, and the re-balancing of the opposites as we clearly see in this Lunation.

The lemniscate or eternity symbol, the dorje in Tibetan symbolism, the lightning bolt of wisdom, all figure symbolically as cosmic portents in the sky on this Full MOON.

Use it to feel a sense of completion, review past actions, dramas, temper tantrums, ego desires {Mars in Leo retro} and create harmonious body movements with Sun and Venus together. Bring out your creative side from the closet, let your LOVELIGHT SHINE.

We are moving very quickly towards a new event horizon in consiousness.

And SPEAKING OF ROYALTY

Jupiter, King of the Gods newly in Pisces the sign he rules, expands endings, spirituality, compassion, foreigners, higher education, dreaming, compassion, forgiveness, legal matters, creativity, soul merging, fantasy, illusion, delusion, addictions, water, flooding emotions, and feet, so walk a mile in someone else’s shoes is a big theme this year as Jupiter speeds through Pisces and moves at lightning speed into Aries where we get a preview of the New Life, then backs into Pisces again. A time to feel the presence of spirit within moving through you, to get back to nature, walk in the woods, commune like st. Francis with the animals, to soak your feet in Epsom salts baths, to walk along vast stretches of untouched beaches, to swim and commune with the dolphins. To watch the waters rise. Pisces is the last sign, Jupiter  in Pisces relates to the Year of the {Metal} Tiger, The end to most major religious orthodoxy but also entrenchment of religious delusions and mucho fanaticism.

JUPITER IN PISCES says

BE EXTRAVAGANT  TO YOUR FEET, Pisces rules the feet!

Thak them and Bless them for the dear Soles they are. They ground spirit ground your body. I predict a banner year for podiatrists,  reflexologists, and pedicures. 

New Year's 2010 Super Blue Moon Lunar Eclipse Retro 

It’s been an incredible year, 2009. An 11 year, a Master Year, as in 11 = Master #’s, relating to Strength in the Tarot, and Justice and memory, the High Priestess and the Hermit # 9 Himself.

Capt. Sulley’s landing on the Hudson stands out in my memory as one of the highflying Highlights for me and the wave of Hope that Pres Obama’s inauguration ushered in. A  re-mix of Camelot in the 21^st Century.

So Astrology wise as 2009 ends which flips into the birth of 2010- in the AS ABOVE SO BELOW- Mirror world of metaphor and literal symbols of this event what do we see?

Quite a send off! BLUE MOON- {there was a Full Moon in Gemini Dec 1^st/2^nd} so this 2^nd Full Moon in one calendrical month is what makes the Moon, Blue, an ancient metaphor for a rare event- A New Year’s Blue Moon hasn’t happened since 1990 {so think back to what changes occurred then} and won’t happen again till 2028. So that’s pretty rare, although Blue Moon’s do occur regularly, ever 2- 2 ½ years. The next ones will be in 2012.

This New Year’s Eve also has a Partial Lunar Eclipse in Cancer at 10 degrees 14 mins, occurring at 2:14 pm EST/ 11:14 am PST/ 7:14 pm GMT.

The Eclipse won’t be visible in Toronto where I reside or in most of North America, although Newfoundland may see some of it. The Eclipse will be visible from much of Australia, Asia and Europe and most of Africa.  Europe, Africa the Middle East sees/feels the Eclipse on Dec 31^st.  Actually there won’t be much to see on this eclipse anyways, only 7.5% of the Moon will be in umbral, fully dark.  In India and Central Asia the Eclipse begins in 2009 and ends in 2010. That’s a long eclipse for them. The Eclipse occurs on Jan 1st in China, Indonesia and New Zealand where none of it is visible from N.Z. The Eclipse has max effect where it is the most visible-the Eclipse path.

This is also what’s called a Super Moon, when the Moon is closest to the earth and in line with Sun and earth.

EMOTIONAL ECLIPSE IN CANCER

A Lunar Eclipse amplifies the Full Moon’s pull to the max! I predict that it will be a very Xtremely EMOTIONAL NEW YEARS, very sentimental, overflowing with tears of joy and happiness, and sadness for what has passed as befits a Lunar Eclipse in the Sign of Cancer.

Lunar Eclipses interrupt the solar and lunar electromagnetic flows when they occur. This helps us to release old patterns, in this case most definitely old security/insecurity issues, family ties, home, mothering, nurturing, food, stability, the nest, the womb, the unconscious, the ocean, the Goddess, the Divine Mother, Gaia, the Earth Herself.

EARTHY CAPRICORN

The Sun, Mercury- Retro, Venus, Pluto and the North Node are all lined up in earthy Capricorn at this Full moon/eclipse. So we will stay very grounded as that entire practical Earthiness can absorb all the overflowing water from the emotions, and the tidal pull of the Moon.

RETRO NEW YEAR  & RETROSEXUALS –a new type of sexuality is being birthed for men!

Out with the old and in with the New- under 2  count ‘em Retrograde Planet’s Influences-

Mercury and Mars are the planets in question doing the backward rumba. Many people are aware of and fully cognizant about the detriments and joys of Mercury the Messengers Retrograde phases and its obvious effects on all communications.

2009 saw Venus Retrograde this year too, and a Venus Mars Conjunction on June 21 at Mid Taurus.

MARS RETRO

Mars is Retrograde in Leo- see my article Mars retrograde for more on this subject. So all you Drama Kings & Queens, Leaders, Royalty, those who feel entitled of this world, {and everyone has LEO somewhere in their Natal Birth Charts} you’re off the throne for now, and for a good 7 months in total. Mars Retrograde gives the guys a break from the daily grind, breadwinner, rat race scenario and urges them to put down their guns, let down their {Samson} hair, put their tired feet up and stop being HERO’s for awhile and Relax, reflect, re-act, reform, re-late, rest, all those nice Rx Prescriptions that All Retrograde backwards motion planets do.

Never mind Metrosexuals, this gives the guys the chance to be RETROSEXUALS. An opportunity to recreate the Archetype of the Masculine. Is he the Wild Man, the shaman, the father, the wise man, the thinker, the cad, the tycoon, gangstah, business guy, geek?

Hopefully we’ll have enough time to figure out how to turn testosterone into some kind of useful fuel for something better than fighting and cussing and making wars into something more life enhancing and positive. Yah we need the ying yang, I know, but wanton killing for political power and pure ego trips ain’t gonna make it these days.

THE PLANeTS, TELL YOU how to plan it – STAY SOBER!!!!

Planetary wise, this is a heavily squared ordinary full moon if it was an ordinary full moon but it ain’t. Saturn the Lord and Planetary ruler of those 5 aforementioned Planets, Sun and Node, is Square {a 90 degree, get your ass moving aspect} to all of them from his current position in Libra the Sign of Holding the Opposition of the Duality, saying lets all co-operate here, but through a hard, but socially gracious looking “nice” Libran kick to those infamous Capricorn knees.

Mr. Saturn is also giving La Luna a tough square dance kind ‘o thing time too, [90 degree angle} because of course she is directly opposite the Sun and connected to the South Node in Cancer, which is why this eclipse can occur in the first place.

Saturn in Libra Square the Moon in Cancer is a SOBERING kind of E-Motional Reality check.

Be advised not to over drink or be forewarned you’ll be crying into your beer/champagne flute well before midnight, over dear old Mom or Dad {Saturn reps the Father} and the bitter divorce, or long forgotten memories of Her or His neglect/abuse of you, or singing along with I’ve got Tears in my ears and the Song of the Night is Most definitely BLUE MOON.

And Dear old ARIES Lord of War, aka Mars Retro or no retro is Opposing Chiron, the wounded healer, and Neptune and maybe a wide angle to Jupiter all in Aquarius of course.

We’re temporarily experience an off the hook from the Saturn Uranus opposition but that will resume shortly.

WISHING YOU A SUPER HAPPY BLUE NEW YEAR

Heads up for the BIG SOLAR Eclipse Jan 14 –15^th the same day Mercury turns direct.

Jupiter enters Pisces Jan 17^th.

We’re moving into the Year of the Tiger in the Chinese calendar.

More sooner….
