Toronto Mayor Rob Ford,crack head,eh? Astrology transits, take off from Tara Greene

Well Toronto Mayor Rob Ford is personally destroying my home town city’s reputation in the world. There is no class in “world class city”  Toronto’s dreams now on the world’s stage now. I have been disgusted by Mr. Ford since he was elected in October 2010 mainly by outlying Conservative suburbanite’s as a backlash to the downtown core of multicultural Liberal Toronto urbanites.
You may not know it but Toronto’s nickname is HOGTOWN and I find Mr. Ford’s behavior to embody that moniker totally. He says misogynist and racist things on camera.
THE GREAT WHITE NORTH has taken on a whole new significance.

SCTV’s Bob and Doug Mackenzie  Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas 1980
The evolution of Hosers from 20th century to snow blowers in the 21st.
Mr. Ford allegedly caught on video with a crack pipe in his hands. Somali drug dealers showed it to two Toronto newspaper reporters and John cook from Gawker on an iphone. Their are asking for $200,000 to hand it over and Gawker, a U.S. company has a  fundraising campaign to get the sum together.- see link below
The Somali drug dealers for some reason aren’t being questioned or arrested for selling illegal drugs and were interviewed saying they want the money so they can leave Toronto for the “promised lands of Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s tax-free oil sands land of Alberta and start a clean new life allegedly, or sell more crack to a rich and bored audience.
One of Mr. Ford’s former “buddies” another Somali fellow was shot dead in a gangland shoot out in March.  Mr. Ford has become a household name for all the wrong reasons.

Jon Stewart spent 6 minutes of TV time totally lambasting the former football coach.

Jimmy Kimmel also produced a staged Interview with an actor posing as the Toronto Mayor

Jay Leno also mentioned it and said its’ because “there’s not a lot to do in Toronto.”
I beg to differ- Toronto is Heaven according to Michael Moore, and is the only city with 130 different ethnic groups living in relative peace in a GTA of  over 6,000,000 people,  it’s now the 4th largest city in North America.
This is not the first time Ford has been in trouble, he’s already fought many charges of being drunk, rerouting public transit for his football team, having his photo taken with a Neo Nazi, caught calling Asians “orientals” and saying racist comments in public. Walking right into a camera.  Talking on his cel phone and driving which is illegal.
I predicted Rob Ford’s win in October 24 2010 and briefly went over his astrology chart you can read that here http://www.taratarot.com/id177.html

Here’s a surrealist image of Rob Ford’s defense, after French artist Rene Magritte.



                  digitally altered photo of Surrealist Rene Magritte painting by Napoleon Brousseau

For Americans and others who don’t speak French, Canada’s “other ” official language.
It says  ”This is not a crack pipe.”
My interview by The Toronto STAR newspaper on Mayor Rob Ford’s future on December 31 2012   see it on my website http://www.taratarot.com/id1.html
and reprinted here
http://infinitynow.wordpress.com/2013/05/23/toronto-tarot-reader-psychic-astrologers-interview-about-toronto-mayors-future/

Lets look at Bob’s current astrology transits

I’ve intuitively Rectified Rob Ford’s chart as there  is no known birth time.
He looks very Taurus like to me, so I’ve put that sign as his Ascendent and guess what?

Planet NEPTUNE planet of addicts, snake oil salesmen, deluded, secretive, glamour seeking individuals have this aspect and it is sitting in his 7th house of “others.” The recent Solar Eclipse at 19 degrees Taurus would have fallen across his Ascendant /Descendent axis.

Transiting Jupiter in Gemini is nearing a 90 degree square to his North and South nodes in PISCES/Virgo. Jupiter rules the HIGHER law- no pun intended. I mean Sacred Law, the true justice not false corrupt justice. This is a karmic face the law for your past karmic injustices. Seems perfect timing to me.
Jupiter is also squaring his Natal PLUTO JUPITER URANUS conjunction in Virgo.  That powerful Trinity spells out a power crazed big risk taker, who thinks he can do whatever he wants, is above the law, is so full of himself, conceited, Psychopathic.
Rob is also having his SATURN opposition which is also a get caught in your tracks holding the bag kind of aspect.

Rob has a very difficult aspect at his birth, Mercury planet of thinking in GEMINI, Retrograde,which it rules, so its  indecisive, immature, irresponsible, usually labelled as learning disabled, is opposite  Mars also  RETROGRADE in Sagittarius which makes the usual truth teller a man who trips on his own words. REtrograde Mars IN Sagittarius means abuse of the Law. This is a karmic aspect, his thinking and actions aren’t congruous. This man is not conscious and therefore very dangerous.

NEPTUNE PLANET OF ADDICTIONS delusion, illusions, glamour, secrets, is SQUARING ROB’s Sun. Neptune in his  natural 11th house of wishes hopes and dreams. has turned in his delusions of grandeur from a Pipe DREAM into a PIPE NIGHTMARE.

I think I will rename him SPONGE BOB Square Crack.

He is turning only 44 in a few days, A Master number, 4  being the number  of Power in the Tarot. THE KING or Emperor. The opposite side of the King is THE FOOL. and he is making a huge fool of himself and this city.

Oh well, so it goes as Kurt Vonnegut used to say in Slaughterhouse Five.

Dream lovers Weekend, Moon in Pisces, soul mates, art, bliss Astrology

MERCURY is in Taurus May 1-15

Your gut instincts should be beginning to work loud and clear. That’s great.

While Mercury and the SUN are in TAURUS

We are ruled by the Taurus symbol in the Tarot Trumps o# 5

HEIROPHANT, POPE of HIGH PRIEST

listening to your higher self as GUT Instinct is what the bullish time of the year is all about.

Sensuousness is the name of the game , GET EMBODIED.

Moon enters PISCES Friday and all weekend
It’s an undersea journey into the realms of spirit, dreams, fantasy, intuition, soul mates, connecting with spirit guides, angels. Pisces is the 12th house of BLISS.

Watch the clouds, it is a form of dreaming.

Guerman Shion
cloud vortex image

The effects are enhanced by Moon conjuncting Neptune in the evening, and Mercury in Taurus sextile Neptune later on.

HOW TO WORK THESE ASPECTS

Write a  letter to yourself from the dream state. You can attempt to incubate this before you go to sleep at night or do it once awake as a daydream practice, a meditation. Moon energy is always very creative in Pisces. Stay open that’s all, and compassionate. Definitely make big wishes for the healing of the world’s miseries on this day and send it out.

Moon will conjunct Chiron on Saturday afternoon

Any unhealed issues may be ready to pop open, You’ll be feeling ultrasensitive.  Good time to look at your addictions, and illusions. Crying comes easy on a PISCES moon and is healing.

Moon makes easy sextiles all day Saturday to Mars in Taurus to Pluto in Capricorn and to the Sun.

Good for getting things done, speaking your truth, long range plans, co-operation with the opposite sex.

Moon TRINES SATURN in wee hours

so some creative constructive deaths rebirths and rebuilds in the dream state.

WATCH YOUR DREAMS ALL WEEKEND
Do watch your dreams for important physical messages. Mercury in Taurus is very literally physical communications. Your dreams can be physical metaphors being relayed back to you. Sweet dreams and do wake up in time to recollect your dreams. Keep a journal by your bed. Or use your cell phone to record your dreams before you move when you wake up.

Moon squares Jupiter later Saturday

Sensitive types may get bruised by those rollicking outgoing Jupiter in Gemini types partying hearty.

art, art critics, Venus in Taurus

Venus enters TAURUS April 15- May 9

She rules the arts. She is the MUSE or divine Goddess of inspiration. That’s why Neptune is her “higher octave.” Venus is earthly fleshy real sex, art, money, luxury, relationships.

 I started out as an artist. At age nine I told my surprised mother that I had decided to be an artist when I grow up, that was that. I had figured out that being an artist was a lisence for escaping the rat race, the normal expected, boring, unconscious way of life.  I saw ART  as FREEEDOM, ANARCHY. I went to OCAD which wasn’t a design school then. My first husband was an artist, my present husband is an artist, our daughter is presently at a performing arts high school.  

I was born with a natal VENUS NEPTUNE EXACT conjunction in Libra the Sign VENUS rules. Yes art is a religion, very spiritual to me.

I happened upon this article in BLOUIN ART INFO -Canadian version. I will excerpt it and provide a link.

FINALLY someone with weight in the art world has spoken the unspoken!  American ART Critic DAVID HICKEY 

what do you think about contemporary art?

There are only a few great critics holding forth in today’s waning critical climate who maintain an element of danger in their invocations. These voices of authority and interrogation bend and veer away from our understood rails of art appreciation into rogue states of wicked qualification, correction, dissent – even revolution. It takes great bravery, in this moment, to call a thing a thing, and something even greater to be compelling and convincing in this effort. These critics tend to say things loosely, ham-fistedly, but with a pulpiteer’s command. They tend to interrupt the academic scaffolding of distance with oratory tempos that are stark and seemingly stupid in their abrupt profundity; they speak with adamancy, and they ring bells that feel assailing.

Among these writers are Peter Schjeldahl, Ben Davis, and Dave Hickey, the infamous and revered American critic who has carved out a voice in the Western art world akin to that of journalism’s Hunter S. Thompson. He has achieved storied laurels – seemingly despite but also because of himself – and has recently and very publically retired from the racket entirely. He has not done this from exhaustion nor age (he is 73) but because his subject has grown too insipid, too “stupid,” he says. It’s easy to believe him.

Dave Hickey did something to Canada, which should not have been unexpected; all the same, it was reviled. Hickey came to Guelph University for the annual Shenkman lecture, and offended everyone.

Importantly, on the eve of Canada financier Jim Flaherty’s federal budget reveal (in which general ‘skills’ were summoned to match the country’s available employment), Hickey produced an argument that had a special relevance for its tender audience, and its economic moment: as he took short aim at his crowd – comprised of provosts, university presidents, deans, professors, students, and former graduates – Hickey commanded we give up our institutions, relinquish our vain pursuit of accreditation, and summoned us to become artists again. “Demand that your students can perform a jump shot,” he said, in one of many references to an idealized world in which the art school was run like an athletic department. “Give up your three cars and pool, and the 4 o’clock meetings, and become an artist again.” But, he amended, if we are to continue in our endeavoring of an arts degree, or in our pursuit of a tenure-track professorship, demand of ourselves and our students skills, results, ambition, and that we kick the 90% that is shit, to the curb.

There are very few of us working from the art world’s bleachers, perhaps even fewer of us trading in its court, who would argue against Hickey’s main thesis: that the academe is destroying contemporary art. However the critic-cum-orator quickly established an antagonism towards his audience that was only further embossed by his seeming casualness.

Clad in a black sweat suit and runners, Hickey approached the podium – after no fewer than three introductions (a performance that would only serve Hickey’s later point on the academe’s overwrought hierarchy) – and very quickly descended into an 80 minute lecture that, while seemingly rudderless (he had no notes, and repeated himself frequently while veering off into anecdote and recurring metaphor) was in its sum a strident call for change. He was appealing to civilization.

“In America, and in Canada in particular, the balkanization of our universities has pretty much destroyed civilization as we know it. I think we’ve done it under the guise of control – as Michel Foucault would say, ‘care is control’ – and I’m here to argue for less of it,” he said. ”I’m here to argue for a little more benign neglect.”

The critic flitted between personal anecdote (quoting his friends Richard Serra, John Baldessari, and his nemeses, Clement Greenberg and Thomas Jefferson), near constant swipes at the academe, a few bigoted slags, and consistent, impassioned invocations for systemic change, though he maintained that “there is no deficit of quality work, it’s just that the world around it has changed.”

While figureheads like John Kissick, Dasha Shenkman, and Matthew Teitelbaum dropped their heads and rubbed their foreheads (with some gesturing wildly for moderator Robert Enright to close the lecture), others held hopeful expressions in a transparent commitment to the critic’s overarching thesis. The exquisite and painful moment of Hickey’s truth and brutalism brought to mind Peter Schjeldahl’s call to arms, of a few years ago, first issued at the New School, and then transcribed for Frieze (March 2011), wherein he spoke of the “irreligious gravitating towards art,” and how its “want tends to be lonesome and blind.”

Schejldahl goes on, “An educated common sense of the last three decades holds that all art is rhetorical and thus a game of pretenses and/or of exposing pretenses. This view is basic to the gaming of art. In fact, all art can be seen that way, but not usefully, if anyone’s experience matters. It ignores the fact that good art happens to us in ways that knock us out or our educations.” Complaining about contemporary art rhetoric and the ubiquity of the term “practice” in relation to an artist’s work, Schjeldahl demands, “When do you stop practising something and do it?”

Hickey would, over the course of his freestyle lecture, emboss this very point (“go pro,” he kept repeating), while damning every academic and art school attendee in the room in myriad ways – some clever (“theory is really easy: it’s like playing poker with no spots on the cards”) and some lazy (“if you are manic depressive, dyslectic, morbidly obese, have down’s syndrome, you end up in the art department”).

At the end of his talk, Hickey was, unsurprisingly, met with a question from an audience member, who began tremulously, “well I’m not afraid,” but went on, gaining confidence, to demand of Hickey just how “serious” he was, because “it’s a huge insult to us who devote our life to the academe; not everybody has the ability to become a basketball player in the NBA.” Hickey responded, “if I was being insulting it’s because I meant to be. There is nothing that I’ve said that I haven’t done. But we’re not talking about your benefits. We’re talking about Western civilization.”

Dave Hickey, a letch, a rogue, a dissenter, an exile, had effectively performed his point. With the very subject of his seeming disdain positioned firmly beyond his pulpit, he exhibited a tremendous affection for its cause and well-being by demanding of it something greater. The Canadian art world and its academe suffered the point, one all too rarely made in this sector, and one never issued at its establishment: be better. As Hickey refrained, “how do you be brave? How do you be brave?” Likely those most angered by Hickey’s lecture will be the ones answering him in spite, and to good effect, in the years to come.

The Rape of the World Pluto Retrograde,Astrology of fearlessness

The Moon has entered more grounded peaceful pastures in Taurus April 10 -13 Ahhh.  We need  MORE EARTH.

 

That  Aries Backdraft has felt pretty Torrid and intense.

PLUTO  turns Retro April 11/12  @ 11 degrees 35 minutes Capricorn till September 20 @ 8.59 degrees 

Yes Pluto heads home to Hell, the Underworld. Where he belongs. Where the Soul lives.
Pluto spends about 5 months every year going Retrograde, the Feminine inward time..
I have been reading ancient  star lore myths, feeling the need to be more poetic,
Pluto Retro is the Soul {Feminine younger soul aspect Persephone} being raped by PLUTO- Lord of CHANGE
INTO THE DEPTHS of SELF – the Underworld is the INNERWORLD – not Hell as we moderns think of it for punishing souls
I am aware of the tragedy that women and girls are being raped physically ever day in the thousands
how the Earth herself is being raped by big Multinationals, MONSANTO, oil, mining, deforestation. It makes me sad.

MYTHOLOGICAL Psychologically Rape is in the story to force one to wake up – this is  Archetypal territory here not to be taken literally, the myth of being wounded to grow and awaken is primal, it is part of life. The parents need to push the little bird out of the nest so it can fly, sometimes they hit the ground.

Not to mention Dictators and Plutocrats in the world and governments who are destroying conquering and killing

So be fearless  for these next months. What does your soul need to feed itself, to grow now?
As if your life depended on it.
As Joseph Campbell says the myths still live within us, through us.
The myth of ORPHEUS comes to mind, he sang and played beautiful music on his lyre, a harp like instrument

Pierre Amede Marcel-Beronneau
“ORPHEUS” 1897

 

Something about TAURUS the throat, music, soul music.

Orpheus was married and widowed on his wedding day and was so sad he made the perilous journey to Hell and played for Persephone and Hades so they would release his Beloved to life again. They agreed on the condition that Orpheus did not look back at his wife until they reached the upper world. All was well until they almost made it out when Orpheus, overjoyed turned to look at his beautiful wife and OH NO she vanished for all eternity back to Hades. Eventually a group of women tore him apart as he spurned all their romantic desires.

 

What’s the moral of this story? Be tough and never falter? Move on with acceptance and grace even though your heart is broken to bits?

 

 Has there been a time in your life when you were so grief struck by a relationship that ended that you felt you couldn’t live without them? Or perhaps they died? suddenly? You’d do anything to get them back but in the end it failed, you had to accept it. But part of you carried the heart break and refused to go back into and trust  life.

 

How much time have you spent being unable to let go and accept  live?

 

You can rewrite the Orpheus myth for yourself.

 

my mythical poetic astro advice is -go gently into that good night in the days and months ahead

learn to let go completely, let go of the story and the drama around it no matter how hard

I know people who have gone through this and I know myself too …

 

.Pluto and Neptune are in sextile assisting DEEP, VAST, SPIRITUAL HEALING now.

 

If you visit the underworld daily in meditation, you can venture into those vast inner worlds

you can meet anyone and morph into anything in any time and any dimensions, and in your dreams every night

We can meet and discuss this privately or in a group

I’d like to explore and meet with you more personally

 

Would you like to experience a guided mediation with me and a group of like-minded ASTRO souls??

email me taragreene@sacredartscentre.com 

we could set it up through face back a private page and email

we need this now, everything is shifting and shaking.

 

The rafters will rock April 12 at night as Saturn in Scorpio quincunx’s Uranus in Aries 9 degrees

Ya got planets here? I’d belt myself in. As in safety belt. Or any squares to the 9 degrees Cardinals

dreamer, light up,12th house,soul merge Astrology

Are you feeling the subtle soulquake? You have already felt this California & west coasters,

PISCES SUN conjunct NEPTUNE- happens once a year

but it hasn’t happened with Neptune in his oceanic 12th house home since 1847-1861

YES that’s in the 19th CENTURY, the 20th century never saw Neptune at home plate.

the SUN, in the TAROT, # 19 did meet Neptune at ZERO degrees on Feb 20 2012 for the first time in over 100 years,

PISCES in the TAROT is #18 THE MOON

Sunlight on water is an ancient metaphor for the SOUL, a reverie of timelessness.

when my mother passes away, 3 years ago, I sat with her body right after she had died, I saw her soul, her astral body

floating about 1 foot high over her former self, as sunlight reflecting on water.

She was so beautiful, as she revealed her true essence to me on her deathbed. My husband saw her too, I am very lucky to

have always had witnesses.

PISCES Helps all of us to plumb the depths.the 12th house is the house of the hidden,

the SUN reveals all in the LIGHT.

The birth of Photography began as Neptune entered his home sign, it rules images,

Academy Awards are always in PISCES time-Neptune rules HOLLYWOOD

its about to hit or should i say float in on the high tides of timeless soul time here on the East coast,

effect will last till next major SOLAR aspect 2/22 as a quincunx ‘then Mercury goes RETROGRADE 2/23

feb 20/21

SUN CONJUNCTS NEPTUNE- make great wishes, watch out for what you can’t see, for what you are in denial of,

you may be feeling naturally stoned by this one, high or low on life itself,

you may feel woozy, disoriented, in a fog, enraptured, find your soul mate, experience hi weirdness

lost in translation, addicted to movies, work, perfection; be careful about drinking and drugging under this influence please.

VERY SIGNIFICANT DAY- we are in a pause as the old world consciousness has left and we are in the TWILIGHT SPACES

Neptune in his home sign again for the next 14 years, will be- exactly what we CO-CREATE as Gods and Goddesses

it will be a world based on spirituality or delusion, could be the MATRIX or Paradise

spend time tuning into your SOUL NEEDS every day…ART, MUSIC, YOGA,MOVIES,DRUGS are all Neptunian

2/21 CANCER’s and all water signs fine trine day

Moon opposes PLUTO in wee hours – Capricorn shadows are in full Sun; at home, old memories may rise up,power vs powerlessness

the MOON trines SATURN in Scorpio then

MARS and MERCURY in Pisces.

TRINES ARE All nice n easy

Cancer moon means upset emotions, tummies, security needs are high but this triple trine

brings Body -Saturn, Mind- Mercury and Mars spirit in a way- the spirit of action, together.

2/22 is a very powerful day for me-beautiful Numerology of course

see my website, read about The STAR BIRD http://www.taratarot.com

watch my YOUTUBE video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNZY6D4whBc

so I honor this day 34 years after my experience, wow how time flies.

early am Moon quincunx Venus in Aquarius

security needs and freedom clash

Moon enters LEO in afternoon

Fiery ego driven Leo kicks Neptune’s compassionate butt in a Quincunx

and kicks the Sun’s ass as well in another QCX

LEO”s be careful just whose BUTT you kick

remember what goes around comes around…Mercury goes Retro 2/23

Death Valley Beautiful inspiring landscape in paintings and film



Badwater, Death Valley by Napoleon Brousseau 1998 

Death Valley is a beautiful awe inspiring place. My husband Napoleon Brousseau turned me onto it. He used to go quite often and camp before it was a National Park. The landscape is varied, with names like "Devil's Cornfield." There are mesmerizing salt flats,feels like you are walking on the Moon. Surprisingly there is also water and a species of tiny fish that thrive in the super salinated waters. Death Valley is a misnomer- it was intended to keep prospectors away as it was believed there was gold there. There is a lot of silver and abandoned silver mines litter the valley. Borax- you know 20 mule train borax- was mined from Death Valley. It is a flame retardant and cleanser.  Nowadays there are modern hotels, date palms an dlotsof tourists. The night skies are amazing as no inerfering city lights.

For an artists view of Death Valley- see Napoleon's contemporary landscapes at http://www.napob.com

conjunct Pluto at 8 degrees- PLuto the Lord of DEATH the underworld, Atomic energy,

this is a very serious heavy transit- I have felt its approaching weight as we are all, it doesn’t smell like teen spirit

the famous Second Coming poem by William Butler Yates

”Your Prophet” painting by Napoleon Brousseau 2009

The Second Coming

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

War! attacks! market crashes! Yes Mars and Pluto do conjunct once every 2 years.

the appetizer was Venus and Saturn in Scorpio sextiling the two macho lovers Mars and Pluto

Born Dec 30 or 31 you get the direct blast from the Universe, better be ready to take the heat, its a huge career boost

Invest in defence, war type of things if you have no morals..

It ‘s super heating up in the Middle east- more revolutions

I feel sorry for the innocent children mothers and fathers who are killed maimed and are suffering every day

We are on the verge of 12 12 12 which I feel is more auspicious numerology than dec 21 2012 which IS NOT the end of the world or actually the end of the Mayan calendar so don’t panic

but the astrology is very heavy and this is all One day before a LUNAR ECLIPSE in GEMINI

will write about that shortly

How’s your score card looking?

we are supposed to be UPleveling our consciousness not following the script of Judgement day,,,

but its also the age of false prophets

Seek the knower within.

SURRENDER like the Hanged Man in the Tarot

Napoleon Brousseau
Hanged Candy Man 2012

MARS ruler of SCORPIO is on the GALACTIC CENTRE

acting as spiritual guide and soul warrior 

the Warrior God is in the Great Mother’s cosmic Vagina now so I tuned into his energy. I actually am a channeler.

Mars/the male is being rebirthed going back into the cosmic void, Alcyone the Central Sun and beyond into the Black Rift itself, being reborned as 

 the NEW MALE, Blissful warrior who listens to the Great Mother as Sacred Source of All.

This is what the consciousness shift Dec 21 2012 is all about.

Men will be feeling whole, complete, ready to defend the mother, the Feminine within himself, to protect women when they need and to support and honor the Feminine, the EARTH and all Her children.

We have just seen the evidence of this in President Obama defeating the backwards caveman platform of the Republicans. 

Mars will enter Capricorn November 16 in the evening till Dec 25

So a grounded, serious, responsible,sensible, patient time. But my sense is that Mars ruling Scorpio going into the Dark of the Year earth sign means earthquakes.

Capricorn is a FEMININE EARTH sign

the capitalist Plutocracy, modern-day materialist that we think of with Capricorn is not the traditional meaning. 

Original the symbol was the body of a  dolphin fish with the torso and head of a goat . The shows the Great Mother’s origins in this sign. The Goat horns are the Moons’ crescents. Capricorn was also associated with the sea. The Moon Goddess and the Sea are one, they symbolize the primal womb image, memory, smell of the ocean that we all carry in our cellular consciousness, in our blood. Capricorn is the physical beginning of all human lives in 3D. Ruled by Saturn.

Stella Maris, Mary, T’ai  Yuan, from very ancient China, The HOLY Woman,  Kwan Yin, to modern Buddhists, she is Triple Goddess in Celtic Mythology Danu,  Bridget.

Capricorn’s horns symbolized the Cornucopia, the horn of plenty.

So focus on abundance, on filling your horn with plenty. Trust that there is enough to go around, but also do the mature responsible hard-working structuring and work to ensure that it can be real. 

Mars will be sextiling Neptune November 17

So create the  physical groundwork for your dreams this night. Write them down, do a ritual, plight your troth to be the vision, to act the vision, to be the change.

Art Venus in Libra Neptune in Pisces Astrology and Beauty

ART, artists, Astrology
VENUS besides ruling women, relationships, values, money, luxury also rules beauty and the ARTS.
I was born with Venus in Libra. 
I started out telling my very surprised mother that I was going to be an artist when I grew up when I  was nine years old.
I loved to draw,and  danced from the age of 5, loved to sing,and wrote poems, dreamed and fantasized a lot. I was interested in metaphysics, mysticism, the occult since I was very young. I was always a unique individual, against the mainstream, also born psychic. Art allowed me to express my soul.
Art and all artistic endeavours, painting, music, dance, writing, acting are all ruled by VENUS, who co-rules Feminine earthy sensual Taurus and the  airy Masculine sign of LIBRA.
NEPTUNE is considered to be Libra's Higher Octave, and in modern Western tropical astrology Neptune rules the sign of PISCES, the sign of spirit, of the Source, which all artists must channel through. Neptune rules illusions, fantasy, film and photography, addictions, delusions.
As Venus is in Libra now and will be From Oct.28 to Nov.21st Venus the Goddess of beauty is impelling me to talk about ART.  ART is necessary to feed the beauty of your soul. In Europe and in most 3rd world countries, Art is a part of everyone's daily life. Art is as essential as your daily bread.
Neptune rules artists as shaman's, shape shifters. They must channel through spirit and many are alcoholics, addicts as the dark side of Neptune.
With Neptune at zero degrees of its own sign NOW and for the next 14 years. ART and Spirituality will be a very important part of our need for beauty and artistic creative self expression.
I was born with Venus in Libra exactlly conjunct NEPTUNE at 20 degrees. I can't really separate Neptune from Venus.
So to me Art is always about spirtuality, the soul expressing itself. Especially in visual arts, as the soul always  speaks in images, symbols, icons, in dreams, it has no real spoken language. We are naturally image makers.
So lets look at Venus in Libra and Neptune in some famous artists charts.

Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci Astrology

Leonardo Da Vinci one of the most famous and deservedly so artists and genius' in the world and Venus and Neptune are very strong in his natal chart.
Born illegitimately on April 15 1452 Old Style, his birth date has been changed to accord with Gregorian calendars to April 23 with a birth time recorded as close to 9:40 pm. The chart has been used by Astro data Bank.
Leonardo has Venus dignified in Taurus @ 24 degrees in the 6th house of work discipline, service. Born with Neptune Retrograde at Zero degrees of LIBRA, Venus trines Neptune which is the highest elevated Planet in the 10th house of worldly fame. Saturn sign of hard work, discipline is also in Libra where it is exalted.
Jupiter is in his home Feminine sign of PISCES.
the ruler of Pisces in Traditional astrology is conjunct Leonardo's  very imaginative, spiritual, mutable, artistic Moon,which it rules in the 3rd house of communications.
Leonardo also has a SAGITTARIUS Ascendant
6 degrees of Sagittarius. Also ruled by Jupiter. Jupiter is expansive, metaphysical, aiming higher, reaching for the stars, honest. I was pleasantly surprised to see it  is the degree of my Sun!
PICASSO born Oct 25 1881 Malaga Spain 11:15 pm
Has Venus at 4 degrees of LIBRA dignified in his 3rd house of communicating
Was born with 5 planets in TAURUS, all Venus ruled
Saturn at 9 degrees Retrograde in the 10th house
Neptune at 15 degrees Taurus Retrograde in the 10th
Chiron at 22 degrees Taurus in the 10th house
Jupiter at 23 degrees TAurus retrograde in the 10th house
Pluto at 28 degrees Taurus Retrograde in the 10th house
If anyone was born with a chart to  be a wealthy world-famous artist it is definitely PICASSO!
and co-incidentally Picasso's Moon, his Unconscious is at 8 degrees of Sagittarius conjunct his North Node at 9 degrees Sagittarius which is also conjunct to Leonardo's chart. Which makes me think that perhaps Leonardo re-incarnated as Picasso. Those specific Sagittarius degrees are also conjunct to major fixed Star Antares.
