MAY DAY, Walpurgis Night, Twilight,horny celebration,Wiccan

Its time to go romping in the woods this Walpurgis night The night before May 1st, Beltane..
Tonight’s the night, when the VEIL BETWEEN THE WORLD’S ARE THINNEST
it is 1/2 way from Hallow’een or Samhain and the energy is poised the same.

The Faery Queen goes out a riding in the woods tonight.
It’s  a magical “no time” or TWILIGHT.
This is the night when Maidens would go wander in the woods, as FLORA, the flowers, NATURE SPRUNG newly born,
maiden has nothing to do with virginity, they are simply young, and eager to mate, as they are in touch with Nature’s rhythms, to give themselves to a stranger in the woods, the Green Man, also called PAN to the Greeks,

the Horned Stag, called Cernunnos, in Latin, he is raw male phallic, sexual energy and virility, he is youthful, 

Here is his ODE

If a man had been created in

the horned God’s image

he would be free to be wild,

without being cruel,                                                                                                                       

angry without being violent,

sexual without being coercive

spiritual without being unsexed,

and truly able to love. – Starhawk, The Spiral Dance

 

So this night is considered at night SACRED SEXUAL LIASONS. The ancient had no morals on life’s necessities. Children conceived this  night are considered to be magical and to belong to the realm of FAIRY as in The MISTS of AVALON. The maidens do not know the man they mate with in the sacred Marriage ritual.

Couples would also take vows to be in relationships for a year and a day, sort of test driving a relationship  to see if they are compatible.

It is considered unlucky to marry in MAY as this month is dedicated to the wedding of the GOD and the GODDESS  alone.

Another important custom is bathing in dew gathered before dawn on Beltane Morn, your beauty will flourish throughout the year. Sprinkled with the dew insures you of health and happiness. Or drinking from the well before dawn of Beltane is also good luck.

Left over Food from May 1st eve should be left out for the fairies.

This is the banishing of WINTER, the SUN grows stronger to ensure renewed life, food, abundance on the earth.

Mercury enters TAURUS at 8:37 am to ensure we are thinking DOWN TO EARTH.

a serious tone to this day, MARS opposes Saturn see previous article

Moon enters AQUARIUS in the a.m. to lighten your emotions with your mind, detachment is the mood of the day

SUN TRINE PLUTO also very beneficial earthy 11 degrees Capricorn TAURUS, also VIRGO gets the blessings

AQUARIUS Moon squares Saturn later in the evening

reality check, you can scrutinize your deep emotional upheavals easier in this objective mood
Moon squares Mars in Taurus PDT

Betwixt eclipses Twilight of the Gods Astrology

Its been a crazy week, Mercury Retrograde now in Scorpio

How was it for you?

That Total Scorpio eclipse which shook a few feathers, caused a bunch of arguments, people are coming and going in your life now,right?

the old falls away and the new begins.

Where is 22 Scorpio in your natal chart? what aspects did the eclipse make in your chart- shows what is being transformed where and how

we are all in for PSYCHOLOGICAL shakedown for the next 2 years.

MARS in CAPRICORN NOW

serious business and the good old boys club is feeling strong-

for now

and good time to get determined on long-term projects

that Scorpio Total eclipse fell directly opposite Israel’s TAurus Sun

and square to her Saturn and Mars in LEO

so out come her BIG GUNS

I fear Israel may fulfill the Judgement day prophecy and wipe herself off the map with this kind of action. Egypt is no friend to her anymore. I am not a Zionist. and thousands of Israeli’s are protesting but they don’t run the government.

Die before you die is a spiritual maxim- but not literally.

Shady dealings and shadows coming out all over the place and more to come.

Moon squared Pluto 11/16 did you feel that!

Sun conjuncts Mercury today in late Scorpio

we are betwixt 2 very powerful eclipses

I am off to deliver an Astrology lecture, my printer wasn’t working, getting threatening bills from the cable company because they mixed something up,you know… very busy

stay centered breathe

Bram Stoker Happy Birthday,Vampires, Twilight, Astrology

Well all day today Nov. 7 I though about writing about Venus in Libra..because Venus is in Libra now from October 28 - November 21
because I  was born with Venus in Libra so know very well how she operates
and I am thinking about ART because Venus in Libra rules artists! and I notice that my article on Artist Salvador Dali is always popular,
I also want to write about Frida Kahlo one of my favourite artists whose show is on now in Toronto at the Art Gallery of Ontario,
and my husband, artist Napoleon Brousseau is getting ready to have a new art show opening in a few days.
FIXED STAR REGULUS
I was also noting the Moon crossing Fixed Star Regulus NOW at ZERO degrees VIRGO
the Traditional Fixed Star of Royalty of KINGS and Queens left LEO after a 2,000 year stay and entered Virgo earlier this year in Western Tropical astrology for another 2,000 plus year stay! No small matter. A Fixed Star changing signs is HUGE!
which also very powerfully indicates to me the rise of the FEMININE as Virgo is a Feminine EARTH sign.
So our Leaders should be more DOWN to EARTH, practical, less Regal and above the crowd.
also note Prince William marrying a commoner who could one day be Queen.
Then I saw Bram Stoker, Dracula author being honored on Google search engine home page on the 165th Anniversary of his birth  today Nov. 8
Then I  decided to quickly check into the Vampire author's astrology chart.
Yes yes I know all you Twilight fans are getting ready for the last and hopefully final installment of the modern take on Dracula/Vampires re-written by Stephanie Meyer.

I used midnight birth time for Bram Stoker, more Vampire  like.

Bram was born in Dublin, an ancient city known for its many a famous Irish Bards like James Joyce of Ulysses fame. U2 as well.

I had  a U2 song suddenly start playing in my head earlier in the evening, You know how these things work don't you?

Stoker born with the Sun at exactly 15 degrees of Scorpio where it is the strongest. He was  also born on a NEW MOON, a dark moon,a scary Moon. As a Scorpio, a double Scorpio- with Sun and Moon conjunct he would naturally be attracted to the SCORPIO Dark  Side with all things forbidden, taboo, sex, death, power, lust, transformation.

The Gothic horror novel of which he wrote a few was originally published in 1897.

I was wondering why I was off topic from my intention when I saw that Bram also has VENUS in LIBRA.LOL. Well You gotta trust the Universe.

Venus is at 5 degrees Libra. Stoker also has the North Node at 9 degrees Libra conjunct Lillith at 12 degree. Lillith was known as a succubus, night hag, a monster who drank men's semen in nocturnal dreams, who was blamed by the Patriarchy for doing her own thing, for being independent, for thinking for herself, for basically disobeying G*d. Perhaps Lillith was Stoker's original idea for Dracula?

With the Midnight hour birth time what degree is Ascending?

Zero degrees of Virgo, which I thought about earlier today..Hmmm

The midnight chart puts Stoker's SCORPIO Sun Moon exactly at the Bottom, on the IC, the Midnight of the chart itself.

Uranus right now is exactly opposing Stoker's birth Venus.

So perhaps a Uranian surprise honor or a tie in to modern Twilight publicity.

The first film version of Dracula to make a big impression was the 1922 German Expressionist Horror film classic Nosferatu: a Symphony of Horror directed by F.W. Murnau. Names had to be changed from Dracula as the right to the original novel could not be obtained.

the original film VAMPIRE 1922

Played by Actor Max Schreck, pictured above from the film DRACULA there is also name destiny here. Something I firmly believe in.

The word Schreck is Yiddish, which is actually 15th Century German for FEAR or fright.

The name was also used as a title for the children's book modernized as Shrek  published  in 1990 by William Steig  about a young  ogre who finds the ogre of his dreams when he leaves home to see the world. The book served as the basis for the popular Shrek film series over a decade after its publication.

I will get down to Art and venus in Libra next installment
