Venus turns Retrograde, Soldier of Love by Tara Greene

Venus turns Retrograde  March 4 – April 15 in the next turning point of LOVE.

Venus will be extremely beautiful tonight March 4 near the Crescent moon, Look up and feel her eternal beauty. Know her as the Goddess of all love. 

Just like a Mercury Retrograde, Venus Retrograde’s periods make us Reflect, renew,  to review,  reinvent, and renew our romantic relationships. Old lovers and friends, especially women can come back into our lives during the Venus Retrograde period.

The last Venus Retrograde in Aries occurred March 6 – April 16th, 2009, you will want to think back on what was going on in your love life then.

Venus rules our values and our earnings. Money issues can crop up big time when Venus turns the tap off temporarily. The world economy can take a nose dive. Venus governs our tastes, what we love, and how we want to be loved. Your tastes in all kinds of things: lovers, friends, food, dress, makeup, money, art may change.

Venus turns Retrograde for an average of 40 days every year and a bit as she transitions from being the beautiful evening wishing star to journey through the underworld, where she is a gangsta of love? and returns as the beautiful morning star.

In her 8-year journey between her retrograde star points, she depicts a 5 pointed star or pentagram formation in the skies. She also forms the diagram of a rose. That is why the rose is considered to be the ultimate feminine flower and the apple is sacred to Venus as these are the images she creates. Remember Lilith giving Eve the apple to eat in the Garden of Eden?

Venus turns retro in ARIES where she is an independent amazon Warrioress from 13+ degree of ARIES. Venus is traditionally considered to be in detriment and out of her own element in MARS’s home sign. But those are the old patriarchal values ascribed to Venus. Venus in Aries is the ancient independent warrior Goddess archetype like Brigid of Ireland, or the Amazons themselves.

Venus moves from the initiating impulsive masculine fire sign back to her exaltation sign of spiritual watery PISCES. Venus will absorb the deep mysteries of the Feminine source of unconditional love before she moves direct and renters ARIES again on APRIL 28.

Venus moves from Aries, a masculine fire sign ruled by Mars back to her exaltation sign of spiritual watery PISCES. Venus will absorb the deep mysteries of the Feminine source of unconditional love before she moves direct and re-enters ARIES again. 

Venus will cross the Zero ARIES point twice which symbolizes a significant new beginning in the world. Venus crossed it initially on Feb 3. She will Retrograde back over the point on April 3rd, and cross it again moving Direct on April 28. Watch for significant new beginnings. 

On March 24th, Venus will make an inferior conjunction to the Sun. Venus will become invisible at night. About a week later after the inferior conjunction, Venus’ begins to appear once more, rising as the lovely Morning Star, where she is known as Lucifer, the light bringer.

Venus will cross the Zero ARIES point twice which symbolizes a significant new beginning in the world. Venus crossed it initially Feb 3. She will Retrograde back over on April 3rd, and cross it again, moving Direct on April 28. 

Venus backs into PISCES on APRIL 2 where she is EXALTED. Venus goes from her weak point to her strong point during this Retrograde. VENUS will be bathed anew in the spiritual source and re-empowered with the spiritual Unconditional Love, empathy, and forgiveness of PISCES. 

The Grail of the summer stars by  Kinuko Y. Craft

This is a very symbolic returning to the original Goddess Energy of Venus and women as SOURCE of all. A very potent symbol. 

 

On April 8th VENUS retrograde in PISCES squares SATURN at the GALACTIC CENTER which could mean a cosmic karmic changing of the patriarchal old guard. This aspect may be the ending of many relationships which have been together for many years.

Venus turns DIRECT on April 15th at 26 degrees PISCES. Venus continues be in square to Saturn at the Galactic Center at this time to bringing a karmic, fated weighty aspect to this turn of the heart.

The planet of love and maturity square off again with VENUS DIRECT on APRIL 21, If things have fallen apart in relationships this could mean a reconciliation, legal proceedings, or the final straw that broke the camels back {one of the symbols of the HIGH PRIESTESS in the TRAOT} from carrying too much old martyrdom and addictive karmic patterns in relationships that were clearly recognized with Venus in PISCES square Saturn.

You want to look at where the track of Venus’s retrograde is in your natal chart. 26 Pisces- 13 Aries to find out how Venus will affect you personally. Look at the house and other aspects Venus triggers.  

If you need a personal love, $, your feminine power reading- http://www.taratarot.com

Venus was traditionally INANNA QUEEN OF HEAVEN, and earth. Not just a Goddess of beauty, romance, and the arts.  Her Retrograde period of 40 days- note that significant count-is mythologized in the tale of Inanna going into the underworld to visit Ereshkigal her dark twin sister and returning after being killed by her. She sends her consort-lover into the underworld to replace herself. The myth explains Venus’s cycle and is also an archetypal myth about all aspects of the Divine Feminine, the light and the dark and how we must own all aspects of Her as well as aspects of the light and dark masculine. 

 

I will post individual Horoscopes for each sign for LOVE MAPPING.

Love, sex, power, luck, Black Friday T-square Astrology

Venus,Pluto, Jupiter, love, beauty, power, sex, luck

VENUS conjuncts PLUTO in CAPRICORN square JUPITER, BLACK FRIDAY

Nov 25 at 15+ degrees Capricorn/Libra

This is a very powerful positive, expansive, rich, luxurious, romantic, big bling, corporate high-powered aspect. Venus is the one creating the T-squares. She is women, mobilizing, moving, feeling their power, feeling their 51% MAJORITY, refusing to back down, give up their legal rights to freedom and stepping in as peacekeepers, negotiators, and balance keepers. 

In Capricorn this is an earth mover aspect. It can trigger more earthquakes. We have been seeing bigger ones lately. The earth moving aspect also holds for mere mortal relationships. There is a Scorpio, sex, tantra, orgasm aspect here.This makes me think of having an enlightening spiritual experience using ayahuasca. I caution you though. I was told by a friend of mine who only works with the most authentic shamans that Ayahuasca should never be taken outside of the countries where it grows. You must go to South America to have an authentic spiritual encounter and only with a trusted experienced “old school” brujo, shaman or shamanka. No shabby shamans lured by easy money for you. That spells a bummer trip.

AYA by Android Jones

Yes you will feel the earth move. Open up and allow the ecstatic to enter your heart. Have you ever had a total body orgasm? If not now is the time. You can achieve it simply through breath work or in practicing tantra with a lover. 

VENUS conjunct PLUTO is SUPERWOMAN or Wonder Woman. 

She is gorgeous, dressed in diamonds, she is beautiful, wealthy, the classicalimage of Venus or the modern one- is it Kim Kardashian?  She is the Divine Feminine. She knows she is the creatress, the power of birth, transmuting of blood in her body every month in concert with the Moon is one of her great powers and mysteries. 

Women take back your power. Men worship and honor your own anima, your own soul, feelings and intuition.

This is a very powerful Cardinal Cross, they have been keeping things “interesting” since 2012. For those of you ARIES, CANCER, LIBRA and CAPRICORN if you have any planets between 12-18 degrees of these signs. USE this awesome aspect well. It is a total gift.

Jupiter expands and sometimes can be too much of a good thing so be careful that your means balances with the expensive tastes of constant champagne and caviar. 

Venus conjunct Pluto is wealth and the stock market just hit 19,000 the highest ever this morning. I really find this unbelievable as the economy sucks in actuality. It can mean a big bloated, smoke and mirrors show. Pluto is the Plutocracy and they are wreaking terror in the indigenous people s who are protesting at the North Dakota Access Pipeline to protect the waters and their own lands from corporate big oil grabs. The protestors have been treated like enemies and treated extremely cruel and the big news is hardly covering this. 

Money sex and power secrets may come out in Trumps government. I never trust those “holier-than-thou” guys, they always have the biggest ugliest shadows.  I predict scandals involving sex, homosexuality, cheating, drugs, stealing funds etc throughout Trump entire cabinet. 

Venus conjunct Jupiter in Libra says have lavish parties. This is BLACK FRIDAY and sales will be insane this year,through the roof. Do buy Patagonia products as they are promising to donate 100% of sales to helping the environment. 

You may be feeling very hungover from too much indulging in food and drink under this aspect. Too much of a good thing. 

This aspect is overall very good and positive for artists, creative types, women, seeking justice, peacekeeping, negotiating, relationships, love, and the economic forecast. All LIBRAN rules companies will do very well. Event planners, matchmakers, lawyers, negotiators, counselors, wedding planners, social media peeps, fashion, manners, modeling, travel for couples, restaurants, gourmet cooking, dressing for very classy, high-end, and conservative. 

Look at where this 15 degree Capricorn and Libra energy falls in your natal chart. 

 Have a great THANKSGIVING America but Think about what you owe to the Indigenous peoples, who helped the white strangers to survive. Don’t you need to thank them? Do this by supporting the #NoDAP in North Dakota, send protests to the governor and send support and supplies to Standing Rock. Donate to indigenous peoples who are the poorest of any nationality in America. 

Don’t buy what you don’t really need.

June Astrology Guide from Tara Greene

June is named for the Roman Goddess Juno, symbol of marriage and Divine Union. Juno/Hera in Greek was Zeus /Jove’s wife. The all faithful, ideal wife to Zeus’ philandering. She is associated with Peacocks, beauty, seeing in many directions, we call it multi-tasking; what women do best. She is descended from Hindu Goddess Saraswati, Goddess of creativity.  I believe Juno is the symbol for Feminine genius. Yes we have Juno awards in Canada,

June is the most popular month to get married because Juno’s Blessings were strongest during this month. 

 June HIGHLIGHTS

The second Saturn in Sagittarius to Neptune in PISCES @  square exact on June 17th.

This is being reflected on the world’s stage and in our personal lives as the conflict between the old-fashioned SATURN conservative, {Sagittarius} religion and politics, involving immigrants,LGBT foreigners and justice. There is a reality check-Saturn- between the Old Guard,old tyme religion and the more open NEPTUNE in PISCES spiritual ideals of Oneness, an immanent spiritual and emotional experience versus organized religion {Saturn} and outter authority. 

Hypocrite alert! It’s not what you say it’s what you do. I am married to a triple Capricorn, and I am a triple Sagittarius. We live this dichotomy for the last 20 years. 

Our dreams and ideals are undergoing the Saturn tests of time, practicality, reality, sweat and perseverance that Saturn demands.  This major square roots out sham shamans, liars, phony gurus and unjust laws. It creates a more universal education system and aspiring to higher spiritual laws.

Many people s relationships are ending as the reality that the one you thought was your soul mate is revealed to be someone you may be in a co-dependent relationship with. All that glitters is not gold but lead. 

NEW MOON in GEMINI June 4

Features a Grand Cross of the SUN MOON and VENUS exactly conjunct at the 15th and most powerful degree of GEMINI opposing Saturn Rx and squaring  Jupiter in Virgo {14+ degrees} opposite NEPTUNE and the South Node at 17 degrees PISCES. The web of maya is a bigger broader web than we have imagined.

“Someone’s gonna get a hurtin'” as comedian Russel Peters says. 

SPLITSVILLE is one way of putting it. 

Relationships that were built on projections and have no solid foundations will crumble just like that.  We must choose which path/dream/ideal to pour concrete into and structure and which to abandon.

The Democratic primaries are on June 7th and there may be a big recount issue as VENUS and SUN inconjunct PLUTO on that day in EDT. That’s messed up power pays.

MERCURY enters GEMINI its home turf JUNE 12th

It’s fair sailing for new friends, LITEness of being and smooth communications. 

Neptune turns RETROGRADE June 13th 

REVISIT that old martyr state, how you played the victim. Relish the it “was all their fault” state. You will be forced to see the hard cold light of day and the lies you have told yourself with Saturn still squaring Neptune. It will be painful but ultimately it frees you.

Venus enters CANCER June 17th

where family, home, children, nourishment and nurturing others and ourselves becomes most important. 

FATHER’s DAY has difficult aspects of MARS inconjunct URANUS 

Do be careful at BBQ’s, handling anything flammable, and please don’t accept a gun as a Father’s Day Gift. DO give a deserving DAD the gift of  an AMAZING ASTROLOGY CHART READING-  

THE 2nd BLUE MOON occurs on JUNE 20th, 12 hours before the SUMMER SOULSTICE in the Northern Hemisphere/WINTER Solstice in the SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE.

MERCURY is OPPOSITE Saturn and SQUARE Neptune in PISCES.

Who wants to pay the tab on that dream?

The 29 th degree of SAGITTARIUS is a critical degree, Close to the GALACTIC CENTER @ 27 degrees  the Full Moon is opposed to VENUS in CANCER sextiled by JUNO in LIBRA at 29 degrees conjunct to  TRUE LILITH at 29 degrees LIBRA { 3 degrees Scorpio BML} and squared by CHIRON at 25+ degrees PISCES. 

A lot of this is about higher education for WOMEN and girls. Laws to protect women against rape and abuse. Sagittarius is ruled by JUPITER very strong at the middle 15th degree of VIRGO where he builds, patiently and meticulously for the harvest. Laws about International imports of foods and grains and MONSANTO will also get tougher.

THE SOLSTICE, one of the four major STARGATES of the year opens up JUNE 20th @ 6:34 pm EDT/ 3:34 pm PDT/10:34 pm GMT. 

The Moon is in Capricorn opposite VENUS in CANCER conjunct the SUN. The Moon’s position always governs the people’s emotional needs. It is protective, nurturing, conservative, all about defending the homeland. 

SATURN at 11 degrees is close to where SATURN was on 9/11, and opposite to where PLUTO was  {14 degrees SAGITTARIUS} indicating that the karmic seeds which were sown then will be blowing back in America’s face. 

The sign of Cancer s governed by the MOON at 5+ degrees CAPRICORN favours conservative, older, traditional, corporate views. But women are very much favoured Hillary Clinton- and a strong force. JUNO at 29 degrees LIBRA squares the SUN Moon and VENUS. ERIS, new planet symbolizing the uninvited fairy godmother is conjunct URANUS at 23+ conjunct CERES. The Great Mother and the uninvited Dark Feminine who stirs up trouble join forces. There will be a huge wild card played.

“May you live in interesting times” is an old saying. Yup. 888 characters.

Venus in Aquarius, Revolutionary Love March 5 by Tara Greene

Yes LOVE is definitely in the AIRWAVES as Venus is in Aquarius March 5- April  5.
Additional March winds of change are blowing on many levels, not just personally witness Ukraine, Venezuela etc.

Aquarius’ symbol is two electric currents, so it’s a month to REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR LOVE LIFE!

A month to get ZAPPED! Wake up to Higher consciousness and experience radical Love, Venus as Electric Ladyland, 

she rules your passion, values, dollars, fall in love with a revolutionary new cause, or one.
We’ve experienced a lot of high Water sign emotional emphasis Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio, Neptune and Chiron in Pisces so this is a very welcome break to breath some fresh air into our hearts.
Venus is values, you may choose to walk away from a relationship that is too smothering emotionally or just to draining and dramatic. Who needs it?
AQUARIUS Venusian energy is about EMOTIONAL FREEDOM.

Try EFT Emotional Freedom Technique or TAPPING to free yourself from old emotional habits. 

Fixed AIR SIGN Aquarius loves groups, and may be hard to get close to emotionally. 
They love everyone in general in a cool, safe, detached, ultra modern, HI TECH way.
THE LOVE WEATHER REPORT is FRESH AIR, WINDY and COOL this MARCH
Mercury the communications planet is also in Airy AQUARIUS till March 17.
You will find lots of detached indies to connect with.
Mars in AIRY LIBRA Retrograde now all month. 
Old lovers may reappear or you will find yourself thinking about someone a lot. This goes for men and women.
It is  a fab time to get some thinking distance to examine, dispassionately, what we have been doing, loving, relating to.
The North Node is also in  LIBRA. The North Node is our Highest spiritual goal. It is all about relationships.
Venus in Aquarius must have the latest gadgets, she is always communicating, thinking and analyzing.
No fashionista, Venus in Aquarius always marches to her own drummer.
FAMOUS VENUS in AQUARIUS WOMEN-
OPRAH WINFREY  who has innovated higher consciousness through her spiritual teachings and TV show,
Yoko ONO, Simone de Beauvoir, who helped birth the Feminist movement,
ELLEN DEGENERES- one of the first women to come out publicly as gay
Taylor SWIFT, Sheryl Crow, Kate Middleton, Nina Hagen, the original LADY GAGA, Marlene Dietrich- who wore the pants,
The VENUS in Aquarius PIN UP GIRL is like BJORK .
 The symbol of Aquarius is very ancient, the Egyptian Hieroglyph for water, and shows either a God or Goddess pouring water from a vase in the starry firmament onto the earth.
Aquarius Keywords UNCONVENTIONAL LOVE, individual, freedom, revolutionary, inventive, pioneering,brilliant thinkers. 
It is associated with the Tarot Trump -THE STAR  # 17

and is connected with WISHING ON A STAR.
If you are feeling down and depressed, especially those of us in the extended Polar Vortex then meditate on the WISH FULFILLING STAR of HOPE. THINK BIGGER, VASTER, new ideas and creativity will come.

INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY is MARCH 8
It’s also very relevant to have VENUS in Aquarius to commemorate  suffragettes, Women leaders and forwards thinkers. Like Susan B. Anthony who was an Aquarius born Feb 15, Susan Brownmiller also born Feb 15, Bette Friedan born Feb 4, Germaine Greer born Jan 29 and Virginia Woolf born Jan 25.

NICE AIRY TRINES use them wisely, take advantage of them GEMINI too.
MERCURY TRINES MARS on March 14
Moon enters LIBRA MArch 16 in the later day on a Full Virgo, Mercury ruled Moon
Moon Trines Venus on the 17th.
AQUARIUS MOON Trines Mars March 27
VENUS TRINES MARS on March 29

Gemini New Moon June 8, lovers, double your pleasure

NEW MOON in GEMINI JUNE 8 @ 18+ degrees @ 8:58 am PDT/11:58 am EDT/3:58 pm GMT

Just Like M & M’s – Magical and Mercurial

GEMINI is the first human Constellation and features twins. Much star lore about twins exists in the myths of all cultures.  Gemini is always about doubles. Double or nothing, Double the energy, double your thoughts. Doppelganger’s, anyone? In the Tarot GEMINI is the Sign of The LOVERS. # 6, June is the month of LOVE. We are each sex in the other, duality is a necessary illusion.

I found this image on TUMBLER

 

A light breezy,  dual natured/LOVERS, gender conscious New Moon. The NEW MOON features the Sun Moon Jupiter Mars and Athena Asteroid Goddess of Wisdom in the Dual air sign. That’s 5 “planets” in Yin/Yang relationships.

Mercury the ruler of Gemini is in Cancer focusing all that Mental Floss through EMO. We are “finking”  sensitive, feeling, your tummy will tell you. That’s Emotional Intelligence we need .

It’s more like Em & M’s.

MERCURY, the ruler of GEMINI and those 5 featured “planets” was also known as HERMES in Greek.  Mercury is the patron god of financial gain, comMERCe, also his name is in the word MERCenary. He  rules eloquent speech and  poetry, messages/communication , including divination, travelers, boundaries, luck, trickery and thieves. Busy he is, as he is a  Psychopomp, a  guide for souls into the Underworld. 

 

Mercury, like HERMES wears lovely winged shoes and a winged  hat, and carries a caduseus, a staff with two entwined snakes that the Sun God Apollo gifted him. This is the same symbol modern Doctor’s use, it is a symbol of Kundalini-snake energy, and the major chakra’s – which have 3 channels. Mercury is also a healer. He was often accompanied by a rooster, a ram or goat, for action and fertility, and a tortoise, as Mercury invented the ancient musical instrument the lyre from a tortoise shell.

So all of MERCURY”S aspects and talents would be involved in any GEMINI {or VIRGO} lunar influence.

BIG T- BIRD  SQUARE  featuring MERCURY URANUS PLUTO

This NEW MOON carries an undertow wallop as MERCURY- who leads the pack at 11 degrees Cancer is opposed to Pluto Retrograde at 10 degrees Capricorn and square to Uranus at 12 degrees ARIES. We need to bring our souls, actions, ideas and feelings into harmony. The outlet of the T is the invisible opposite at 10-12 degrees LIBRA.  We may find what we begin on this NEW MOON bears fruit in the Fall when the Sun or other planets cross that point. If you have planets, angles, etc. at any of these CARDINAL points ,use this time to bring your mind into your gut feelings. BIG changes are happening for you, you know it in your gut.

Mars and Athena square Neptune urging you to intuit your dreams, Athena’s totem is the wise owl sits on her shoulder. Pay close attention to your dreams.

We are moving from AIR signs into WATER the summer of 2013.

The NEW MOON features the ongoing GRAND WATER TRINES of SATURN in Scorpio Neptune in Pisces and VENUS in Cancer.

The NEW MOON conjuncts RIGEL the brightest Star in the constellation of ORION, the 6th brightest star in the skies. Rigel facilitates the integration of spirit within matter, like the myth of the hero twins of GEMINI to connect head and heart.

RIGEL is know world-wide as a navigation star. 

On the NEW MOON- GENDER BLENDER

You must get a sense that you and the “opposite sex” can transform and  become ONE, the other, that is the only way to be able to love. When you love yourself you can love another, and allow yourself to be loved.

Visualize your consciousness blending equally with your heart. This is NEW consciousness, blended, balanced. heart and mind. Mind divides, but mind and heart is balanced. THINK from your heart.

Put on your winged hat and shoes and fly around busy open, opstimistic, ever curious.

IF I WERE A BOY by BEYONCE   If I were a boy Beyonce

Daily inspiration card, King of Swords, Focus your mind

June 3 Inspirational Card of the Day

A COURT CARD              KING of SWORDS

this is NOT a Tarot Card but King Arthur the King of Swords

SWORDS are always the mind, air, communications, winds, breath, words, ideas

ALL the KINGS symbolize a personality that is Masculine, mature, responsible, takes charge, acts  with strength power integrity and authority.

KING ARTHUR and the Knights of the Round Table is a historic/myth about democracy and egalitarian thinking.

A Strong warrior uses their mind as their first weapon.

The King of Swords governs  a time span and Astrology degrees

May 11- which is 19-20 degrees Taurus – June 10 which is 18-19 degrees Gemini

We are within his governance.

The ARIES Moon and URANUS, the sign of Higher Consciousness had a merge earlier today

The theme is to expand your thinking and conquer your thoughts.

Neuro Linguistic Programming or N.L.P. is an excellent tool to learn to conquer the mind.

Another meaning is VOICE YOUR MIND, as we see the protests in TURKEY in support a green Istanbul.

MEANING

You need to have single pointed concentration, like the tip of the sword.

That is how to create any goal. Still the mind, that is the purpose of all meditation.

WHAT is your most important goal? FOCUS all of your mind on it.

The planets are moving out of air signs and into water now.

It will be less heady.

I actually used the RUMI Tarot for the Card of the Day

it says “REJOICE IN THE PRESENT, YOUR HEART WILL SOON OPEN UP.”
