May 21 - The Rapture - the Rapture

It seems like my prayers will be answered on May 21, 2011 because that is when the Rapture is supposed to come! Christian leader Harold Camping, founder and president of Family Stations, Inc., a company which produces Christian radio and television programs, has announced the end of the world will take place on Saturday, May 21, 2011. Well I am not sure if it is really the end of the world or the beginning of the Rapture which will lead to the end of the world - the stuff is always fuzzy to me. However, if on May 21 all of these fundamentalists will be zapped up into Heaven and out of my face I can't wait for May 22!

Bring it on!

Camping is basing this on his highly scientific studies which show the Creation taking place 11,000 years ago. I guess that is why the Creationist Theme Park in Kentucky shows dinosaurs roaming around in saddles - is there a thing called Flintstone envy???

Being the goof ball that I am - I just had to look at the chart for May 21, 2011 to see if my astrological crystal ball could tell us what the stars will look like on that day. I would assume end of the world stuff would fall under the realm of Pisces which is the connection to the god source, right? Well let's see Neptune is in Pisces now and Pisces is ruled by Neptune so that does portend a very spiritual time. On the day, over Washington, Neptune will be in the 8th house - the house of death and rebirth. HMMM.

Neptune is conjunct Chiron, the harbinger of deep sacred wound issues. Now, I would see it as a time to spiritually address our wound issues surrounding power issues. However, someone else might see the healing of the wounds of evil Mankind by raising the righteous and smiting the rest of us heathens. See it is all in the interpretation.

You know this guy may have something - Uranus is in Aries, the warrior sign, in the 9th house the house of spiritual truth. It is a time to cut a new path - find a new way to find your higher truth! But then again if the world is ending why bother? I mean talk about too little too late.

Of course this same dude predicted the world was going to end in 1994. There are still people who believe him this time. No wonder Madonna has been able to pass herself off as an entertainer all these years. People will believe anything!

Perhaps, hopefully,  it will be a day when people will "die to" ridiculous fundamentalists’ beliefs and have the courage to find their own truth...or they all could be raptured up. Either way I think it is a win win. No?

I say LET'S PARTY! SEND THEM OFF IN STYLE.

The North Node on the Galactic Center!

The Galactic Center is the center of the Milky Way where scientists believe there is the enormous black hole called a super massive black hole. Black holes are so dense that nothing – not even light can escape At the center of the super massive black holes exists gravitational singularity, a place where the space-time curvature becomes infinite. In essence singularity equals infinity. If you can get into the black hole at the Galactic Center, you would find a place where time and space do not exist – you would find infinity.

In the amazing string of events that is going on in the Universe these days, Neptune moving into Pisces, Uranus into Aries, the coolest to me anyway is the fact that the North Node is now sitting on the Galactic Center.





The Galactic Center of the Milky Way – our universe is 28 degrees into the constellation Sagittarius. Actually it is so big that it transverses 26 -28 degrees Sagittarius. Right now the North Node – that symbol of soul progression is at 27 degrees Sagittarius. So the marker of soul progression is sitting right next to the source of the Big Bang - the source of infinity. Do you think this is a good time to think about how you are living up to your soul desires in this lifetime?

I find it amazing that the Galactic Center would be in Sagittarius – the seeker of universal truth. Think about it – the source of all is in the sign of truth. We all need to be finding our personal truth in life the sign of truth is holding the source of all knowledge. Gives you chills, doesn’t it?

For someone like me, born with her North Node in Sagittarius, this is a very special time to realign with current life’s goals and to see if I am following Sagittarius’ demand to find and speak the truth.

Take a minute to explore these wonderful photos of the Galactic Center and think about what it would be like to transcend this center of all universal truth. You don’t need a spaceship just the expansive power of your mind!

Catch the SUPERMOON on March 19th

Get out the binoculars… Sunday nights full Moon will be pretty.


The Moon hasn’t been this close to Earth in 19 years…so the full Moon will be about 15 percent brighter than usual! (And yes some people may be 15 percent battier than usual but who will notice!)

Some people are predicting all harbingers of evil to happen. WHY do we always thing something evil is going to happen? Isn't there enough freaking evil around? It just means we might feel our emotions on a different, stronger level - see them more clearly.

The Moon will be moving from Virgo to Libra that night - so it is a good time to check our emotions in realtion those closest to us..not a good time to pick a fight with our spouse!

Uranus is now in Aries - Will Progressives Hear It?

Ok kids all excuses are now mute - Uranus is in Aries and will live there for the next seven years. Think of that balance of energy - Uranus the rebel, the harbinger of the unexpected mixing with Aries the epitome of raw, warrior energy! Wow. It is a cliché but I have to say it, "Expect the unexpected." Remember that Uranus is the only planet that orbits the Sun on its side not up and down. Is that goofy or what? Notice I didn't say it would bring "good" or "bad" things - just new and different. Whatever happens it is best to accept it and grow.


The most exciting part about this for me is that I think people will become more energized to work for the betterment of humanity. I truly believe that the days of a few trying to funnel the money of the middle class to the rich, the days of the left being cowed to stay silent while the radical right destroys our economy and works hard to bring us back to the dark ages socially may finally run their course. Uranus has a heart - it is the humanitarian of planets and the sign it rules, Aquarius, supports group activities on behalf of social betterment.



With Neptune soon moving into Pisces and bringing that sense of the "little guy" standing up against all odds and this crusading energy of Aries fueling Uranus we should see a rejuvenation of the progressive sensibility. If the left doesn't mobilize now they never will because they also have Pluto still in Capricorn - demanding change in authority structures and bringing secrets to light.



The stars are aligned kids; you have to do the rest!

A Pisces Stellium - Let's Take Advantage of it!

A Pisces Stellium is upon us - Did you feel like doing some more yoga this morning - maybe a bit more meditation? If you did then you have Pisces on one of your "personal planets" - Sun, Moon, Mars, Ascendant, Venus or Mercury.


Right now Chiron, Mars, Mercury, Sun, Uranus and Lilith are all in Pisces and for those of us in the D.C. are they are concentrated in the 11th house - the house of group social activities. Dare I be hopeful to think that Congress will use Pisces influence and its connection to the Cosmic Consciousness to work together and come up with legislation that will help all? Nah, more than likely Democrats will fall into the shadow of Pisces which is being a martyr and give in even more to the GOP.... oh well, I can hope.

This morning my Pisces Moon pulled me to actually do my morning yoga instead of thinking of about really seriously for a few minutes. I then lit a candle for my Pisces Mom who would have been 95 today and did some meditation.

Think of where Pisces is in your chart and reach for the high of Pisces - the brother/sister hood of Pisces - the unity with God side of Pisces. All of these planets are heading to Aries soon and all that unity will be replaced with unbridled ME energy.

Breathe now.

What Would the Moon Say?



courtesy of Arlenew

 I played a little game with my class at the Institute for Spiritual Development in Washington D.C. which I unofficially entitled "What would the Moon say?" I posed the scenario, what if a someone with a very strong Sagittarian influenced walked up each sign of the zodiac as it embodied the Moon and said something totally Sag. like, "Wow that dress makes you look like Orca!" You know how Sag. is about telling the truth - or I should say their truth. How would these Moons - our emotional barometers respond?


Aries wouldn't mince words. An Aries Moon would just deck Sag. with one well placed blow to the side of the mouth. Now if this Aries Moon were in a daintier body then the words would flow and flow and flow until Sag. was duly chopped up and humbled.

Taurus on the other hand would pull herself up to full height; straighten her dress (which is a bit snug over the bull's hips) and say. "I don't think you are right Sag. This dress is made from the finest of silkworms. I flew to China to oversee the spinning myself." She would then huff off comforting herself with a box of the finest of Swiss chocolates.

"This dress? This dress is too tight? Really? How can that be I researched the purchase of this dress for three weeks? I tried on 18 different dresses. I went to 7 stores and then...." As Gemini was still babbling on Sag. runs away in self defense.

"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa." Yes, that was Moon Child running off in tears. She will stay in her crab shell for weeks pouting and weeping.

Leo the Lions' reaction is a wee bit different. "HOW DARE YOU! I have more knowledge about dressing in my little paw then you have in your entire quiver Sag. Begone!" Sag darts out dodging mirrors from Leo's vast collection being tossed out at her.

Virgo doesn't respond just immediately becomes anorexic.

"Really? Really? I asked twelve people and weighed their responses very carefully. Then I asked twelve more - it took me twenty weeks to weigh everyone's opinion of what I should do. How could it be wrong? Libra's scales were wobbling back and forth with such a flurry Sag. thought a wind storm was in the offing.

Scorpio whipped off her dark glasses in a furor and starred silently into Sag's soul with such unbridled fierceness that Sag. was terrified for a week.

"Yeah well your hair looks like a home for drug addicted weasels."

"And your perfume smells like 'Ode De Goat.'"

"Your shoes are left-overs from the Von Trapp Family AFTER the clomped over the Alps."

Oh my - Sag. Vs. Sag. is an ugly sight.

Capricorn never looked up from her historical tome. Who cares about such nonsense as fashion? Sag. is so frivolous.

"Wow baby so you don't like my duds. That is cool. Hey we are all brothers and sisters under the skin where it counts. Coverings are like so superficial. It is all good." Insulting Aquarius was such a drag.

Pisces suddenly looked even sadder if that was indeed possible! "Oh I knew it would be terrible. I just can't pick out clothes." Pisces was so pathetic that for a minute Sag. said he would never insult another person again...or until another ugly dress came into view and the truth just had to be told.

What's for supper?

 I thought I would have some fun playing with my two favorite things - food and Astrology. Now keep in mind it is silly to say all Pisces will eat this particular kind of food. Sun Signs, remember are a very minor part of our astrological makeup. We have to look at the rising sign and for something like food - see where a person's Venus resides. Those are better indicators of whether they think food is something they have to bother with in order to survive or if it is almost a religious experience!


If you are expecting a heavily Aries influenced person over tonight reach for the spice rack. Aries like to have their food bite back a bit -nothing boring and bland. Oh and don't waste their time with an hours long meal - they want to keep moving. Taurus on the other hand wants gourmet meals, lavish foods and the best of wines. Don't you dare serve them a frozen dinner or the Bull could charge!

Gemini is easy - serve them a meal that is bite-sized. Remember Cher's character in the movie, "Mermaids"? She only made meals in finger sandwich size. Now that is someone with a lot of Gemini in her! They want to be able to read, eat, and play video games all at the same time. For Moon Child, however, it is all about cozy, family comfort food surrounded by as many generations of family as possible. Think chicken-pot-pie, apple pie and macaroni and cheese when you think of Mood Child.

Leo the lion has to have a table big enough for their adoring courtiers to surround them while they dine. Like Taurus they want the best food and wine but with Leo you have to serve it in the best china you can muster. Virgo has already lived this life of Riley and their digestive systems have paid the price. Go directly to the health food store and get the healthiest organic meal and serve in on biodegradable dishes!

Libra has to be with other so break out the Leo table, take all the gold off and put it out for Libra. For food, think of things that can be shared because Libra is all about the other person - Chinese food - pizza....whatever it is - it has to be shared. Scorpio loves to delve into mystery so think of something deep dish and maybe have a surprise on the bottom!

Make something foreign for Sagittarius - or better yet take them to a part of town that is known for exotic food - like little India or little Thailand - and let them think they are travelling the world! Capricorn the goat is all about meat and potatoes and good solid veggies - all American food please!

Ok for Aquarius take all the leftovers you may have from the other signs and make one big wacky dinner. To make them even happier - serve it on the floor on a big silly blanket. Finally for Pisces keep the booze under lock and key - some of them might have an issue with that. Make sure you have some dreamy music playing and make soothing soups and soft custards.


Time to make dinner! Have fun.
