3 Planets in their elements,  BIG BANG THEORY April 15-18

Copyright Tara Greene 2013- Infinity

 

April 15-18 3 “planets”  are in their own signs.

 

Planets, like us, are at their strongest when cosily ensconced at home. The Moon is called a planet by Astrologers.

She is in her home sign of CANCER. Where she rules the WATER roost, the womb, comfort security, roots, Mother, food, tradition, fertility, moody, oceans..

MARS is in his home sign ARIES till Sat April 20  MARS is at his FIERY WARRIOR  initiatory best, 

fighting, explosive, angry, threatening, Macho,competitive, arrogant, chest banging as we have seen from North Korea and the bombings in Boston.

VENUS is in her home sign TAURUS where she rules the EARTHY  roost of luxury, romance, sensuality, creativity, fine dining, massages, spas, money, 

Make the MOST of the Triple element strength.

Omnia Vincit Amor, or The Power of Love in the Three Elements
Benjamin West

Monday was the Moon’s Day, Tuesday is Mars Day,

Wednesday April 17 is the Big Bang day ARIES Sun conjunct Mars exact!

This is the precursor for the earthquake in Iran. Also the big

Solar flare that happened last weekend contributes to the unstable erratic insecure feelings.

We need to mellow out with VENUS in TAURUS.

Use the fire power SUN MARS= MASCULINE with VENUS  and MOON as FEMININE

as an equal balanced masculine and feminine pair.

This is a beautiful Alchemical image of the SACRED MARRIAGE or BIG BANG!

 

RITUAL of SACRED MARRIAGE

 

Keep it really simple

Have 4 stones and or 4 candles- little tea lights will do, smudge or incense for purification

Set up the ritual starting with lighting the candles from the east to south-west and north

Stand in your circle light the incense and breathe deeply

Hold you arms out to your sides, call in the powers of the

Sacred FEMININE,

 intuition, introspection receptivity, love, water, earth, fertility, birth

Then call out the MASCULINE  energies to come to you,

strength, courage, action, matter, Light, earth and air, Gods, add names if you like

Then close your eyes and slowly bring your outstretched hands together to the middle of your heart chakra

 bring your palms together as in prayer,

then call out the “As above,” the SUN and all the STARS the LIGHTS of heaven,  the Sky God symbols

and all the “As below”, the earth, the crystals, the sacred cenotes and underwater springs, caves, oceans,

and feel those two energies merge into your heart chakra,

Say All is ONE and One is ALL, this is the SACRED Marriage of the Masculine

and the Feminine,  the Sacred Bride and Her Bridegroom

the Yin and the Yang.

All is balanced and whole all is in order,

I am whole.

Stay in this prayerful position and let the energies flow through you.

You may feel the erotic kundalini energies naturally rise through you. That is good.

ENjoy it.

Psychic Intuitive Tara Greene in Sedona sending healing energy to Boston Marathon Tragedy

I am sending much healing energy through my Angels,Spirit guides and with the Medicine Buddha to those killed, hurt and maimed in the Boston Marathon tragedy.

All my prayers are with those personally affected, their families and friends, the doctors nurses ambulance personnel and those who selflessly stepped in to help others at the time of the bombing.

We all are affected by terrorist attacks, everywhere in the world.

As the walls between the worlds and our individuality dissolves, we all personally empathise, and hurt with those who have been killed or harmed in any way.

Truly it has taken most of my spiritual energy since I first hear yesterday. I will continue to send prayers.
How do you tune in and send prayers when you hear of a tragedy?

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.

Full Moon in Leo,Give Me Love, Astrology and songs

The first Full Moon of 2013 is 7 degrees+ Leo is INTENSE and serious

YOU know Leo right? Proud, self-centered, loud, leaders,strong willed, creative, passionate, self-expressive vain. “FEVER”

“You’re so vain.”

Everyone’s got LEO in their natal chart, in a house, a cusp, some planets?

LEO is related to the SUN, Gold, Source of Light and Life and traditionaly , the HEART, STRENGTH in the TAROT and naturally the 5th house

Where is your heart in your chart? ”Still Searching for a heart of Gold.”

the 5th house is also the house of children, love affairs, GIVING LOVE. ”I am woman hear me roar.”

SUN is of course opposite in Aquarius and the 11th house of RECEIVING LOVE and the STAR #17 in the TAROT

MERCURY is close by the Sun in AQUARIUS with MARS, late in the same hi-wire arialist sign of Aquarius’s heavens.

Square to SATURN in SCORPIO at 11 degrees. Karmic, heavy, ponderous, depressing,

JUPITER is STILL RETROGRADE!!!! so that’s why it feels like Not much is happening.

Aren’t you at the end of your rope? or Heart Strings is more like it.

JUPITER FINALLY goes DIRECT Jan 30. Be patient just a teennsy weensy bit longer before springing into action.

“The Lion Sleeps Tonight”

URANUS the whoopee cushion planet- with a loud firecracker attached is Trining this Moon

early Sagittarians can expect a hot unexpected explosive love message

CHIRON is QUINCUNX to the Moon

Chiron also squares RETRO JUPITER – listen to

“Oh God please don’t let me be understood” by the Animals

Pluto also Quincunx the MOON -

deep soul desire and ego aren’t jibing together

this is good as it makes more deceit and lies, like Lance Armstrong etc. surface

conflict rising higher and people’s passions stronger re: gun laws, resisting repression Occupy, Idle No More
