The Astrological New Year the Spring and Autumn Equinox and Aries Season this March 20th 2021

Welcoming The Astrological New Year and the Spring/Autumn Equinox
this March 20th 2021

On the 20th of March 2021, at 10:40am Paris Time, the Sun will begin to enter Aries, which signifies the commencement of a New Astrological Year. We also begin a freshly ignited cycle of the Stars and Seasons whilst honouring the equanimity an Equinox can bring.

Every March Equinox signals the start of the Western Astrological New Year.


HAPPY NEW YEAR DEAR HEARTS

Aries, our lord of the head, the first Star Sign in the Zodiac, our fearless and often naïve Star, who is energetic, pioneering, and ready for combat, is now arriving.

With the Sun in Aries, we can begin to associate ourselves more with our projected image, understand better our attitude, our defence mechanisms, how we relate to our immediate environment and what exactly it is we need to kickoff in our lives.  It is the moment to start, to finish and to be ultra quick about it.

An Aries-driven month has a direct and self-involved feel to it, that requests clear planning; otherwise we could get distracted by the hot-hot fire.

Use the first few weeks of Aries Season to accelerate your plans in a charismatic fashion and enjoy the added energy from the ever-shining cosmos. Since most of us continue to be in a lockdown scenario, let us attempt to enjoy this FRESH start through creative measures, also taking extra care of our bodies and planning for cheerful ways to raise our collective frequency. 

Did you know that in Ancient Greek Astrology, the constellation of Aries is associated with the “Golden Ram” of  Greek Mythology that rescued Phrixos and Helle, on orders from the Messenger God Hermes, and bore Phrixos to the land of Colchis!

What is so evidently beneficial about Aries energy is the ability and willingness to LEAD.  If we invoke the support of this fire-lit constellation, we can return to a more confident state individually and as a whole, as well as begin anew, with a mighty dive through a ring of flames, whilst simultaneously enjoying it.


We now celebrate ALL those born under the Aries Constellation and work with their infectious warrior-like focus. Happy Birthday to YOU!


May the innocence that is prominent through our Suns entry into Aries, lead us to beautiful grounds, and may we believe in our goals just like the Ram does, never giving up nor slowing down, until there is much glory in the result.

How to Work Spiritually with Equinoxes and their Significance

Since the beginning of almost all belief systems, the cycles of the Sun have had a central and largely symbolic meaning to human beings.  The movement of the seasons shows us our own inner movement from the material to the spiritual, from darkness to light. Against the change of the seasons we mark our own journey through this life and our own quest towards awakening.

In the Northern Hemisphere, the 20th of March is the beginning of Spring and signals a time of rebirth, of new creation, when life dormant over the winter begins to leap back into its full-blossoming-joy, and when the light divinely returns to all living beings.

It is an occasion of balance and renewal, a period of new beginnings and opportunities.  It is now that the creativity that lay very quiet over the cold months can come exuberantly into renewed energy, and can build towards vital fruition.

We can work with this time just like the Ancients and celebrate the beginning of Spring through song, Sun Gazing, setting our intentions for the New Astrological Year, sit or dance by big warm fires and imagine all the accumulated negativities through the dark of the cold released from us.

Take the time to smell the flowers, like we did on a recent excursion through our local gardens. Try to plant something if you can; planting seeds now is a symbolic and also wonderful thing to do. Have you considered planting trees? This too is a sincerely sacred way to re-establish oneself with the Truth of this Earth and to be of complete service to it.

Take some time to sit with the charming energy of connecting with soil, fresh flowers and Spring returning. Let it fill you up with colourful delight. Let it open you and bring forth your enthusiasm to live and share just how the colours of every flower in bloom and even if this means whilst at home in solitude.


In the Southern Hemisphere, we now begin the transition to the period of deep rest, of inner journeying and introspection. It is also the harvest time, a period when people often feel a sense of yearning and closeness to the immutable spiritual enchantment of nature.  This is called Autumn Equinox.

It is important to note that everywhere in the world, an energetic turning point is taking place on Equinox and it is the moment when light and dark are in equipoise, when the power of the cosmos generously pours down and when the deep and wise rhythm of Mother Earth can be felt in our very bones.  Think of it as a symphony of equilibrium, the perfect, perfect tone which allows the harmony in nature, to better balance our own inner and outer polarities.

Our own Yin and Yang energies can be balanced this Equinox, through this melodious turning point, we can walk in the middle ever so consciously.

The world is full of Ancient Sacred Sites that are aligned with the Equinoxes, showing how important the Sun and these transitions are to cultures throughout the world. A few that come to mind are:


Angkor Wat, Cambodia

The Sphinx and The Great Pyramid of Giza, Egypt

Temple of the Grand Jaguar in Tikal, Guatamala

The Mnajdra Temples, Malta

Stone Henge, United Kingdom

The Temple of Kukulcan , Mexico



VENUS AND
THE ASTROLOGICAL NEW YEAR


Please note that this Aries Season has a STRONG and LOVING alignment with Venus in Aries. Isn’t that worth the extra cup of Tea to sip on?

The Sun will nicely conjunct with Venus, but first, let me tell you that Venus enters Aries on the 21st, so she is practically dancing with this Equinox. What this does is amplify the Venusian charm, bringing in the daring flair of Aries and the Heart that is ready to love-again and again and again…..

….did I mention that Chiron is there too? How directly healing is that! Chiron will also be in a firm conjunction with the Sun and Venus as the Month kindly ends. 

So when is the day of illuminated love? That day dear ones, when Venus Conjuncts the Sun at 5 degrees, comes to us on the 26th of March 2021. I will now add that we open ourselves to the energies from the 24th through to the 31st as Venus is ever-giving and Chiron too, will let the deeper love rattle.  

The Full Moon in Libra on the 28th/29th will be just what we need to gain perspective on the unity that lives within union and how much love can be found when we accept this.

VENUSIAN AND EQUINOX BLESSINGS FOR ALL AND
THE MOST HAPPIEST, SACRED OF NEW YEARS,
FOR THE REAL NEW YEAR HAS COME HAS COME!

Love and Light,

Tashi

Welcoming Saturn Home
The Dying Part of the Year
In All Her Forms
December 22nd 2017

“Dance Dance dear goddesses of naked awakening. Sing to us your song of sorrow; remind us how the taste of every feeling dwells well within your all-embracing bosom.

Dance dance dear goddesses of the silent mystery, seduce our every curiosity and take the dream to where it belongs, beyond the horizon in a land truly given.

Dance dance dear goddesses of mayhem, we need the shock, the constant reminder. Speak to us your secret tongues and allow the movement of the elements divine to spin their way back within our nature.

Dance dance dear goddesses of artistic magic, caste your spells of a purifying touch, let the liquids of false action pour out of us and fill our vessels with nectar so pure.

Dance dance dear goddesses of union, hold ever so dear your inseparable quality, and let us witness the joy, the pleasing joy when love is free, when love is everlasting.

Dance dance dear goddesses of anger, your wrath well transformed is better used than any weapon given, turned into an army of supreme force, no affliction can match its power!

Dance dance dear goddesses of harmony, balance out our petty miscalculations, let the peace that appreciates all that is, let that peace be present forever.

Dance dance dear protector goddesses of words so holy, encourage our young kings to learn the language of truth and spread its glory in all the directions and throughout all the times.

Dance dance dear goddesses of creation, we throw our tender hearts at your feet, we beg of you to keep us safe, safe in loving hands that let our fragile roots spread well anchored. 

Dance dance dear goddesses within, we know you live well kept, well kept in our own inner sanctuary!

So dance dance your loudest dance, may the thumping within deafen our grandest doubts and may we all forever remember your perfect home, your perfect world deep deep within us. 

Dance dance dear Goddesses, dance your dance, dance your endless dance, dance your endless golden dance.”

– TarotbyTashi

Hello dear ones,

Welcome to the final chapter of 2017. I feel privileged to be able to share and connect and I appreciate you all very much for it!

I wrote the above praises and invocation to the Great Mother in Boudhanath, Nepal on the 22nd of June 2014. I felt compelled to share this now and the reason behind my decision stems from the wish to continue with our #inallherforms project.  For those of you who do not know or do not remember, around 3 years ago I started a little ongoing project that brings back the Divine and Sacred Feminine into our memory, invoking the Great Mother Goddess “In All Her Forms.”

This project generally starts on or around Decembers Solstice and this year, I feel inspired to add some interesting flavors into the mix.

The way we normally collaborate is to share and post our favourite goddesses, deities and woman of cultural importance on the TarotbyTashi Facebook Page and Instagram Page including notes of inspiration.

This year, we are going to do this AGAIN and this time with a little more zest!

I have decided to extend the honouring period from now until the end of January 2018. I have also decided to fill a cute Navy Blue Box with all the names of everyone who participates and on the 31st of January 2018 I will draw 3 random winners!

What is there to win?

A Personalised Astrological Forecast on how the 2018 Eclipses will be influencing YOU!

I want everyone to go ALL OUT with this project…get your friends on board too and honour the GREAT MOTHER through Video Posts, Images, Poetry, Hymns, Quotes, Art… basically share with us whatever inspires you most.

If posting on Instagram or Facebook, please tag me “TarotbyTashi” and hashtag #inallherforms. This way I will be able to track all the participants and draw 3 lucky winners at the end of January.

If you are not fond of Facebook or Instagram you can always email me your expressions, photos etc and I will post them on your behalf.

I do look forward to make this possible YET AGAIN and to honour the Divine and Sacred Feminine IN ALL HER FORMS.

Some excerpts from the December 2016 Solstice Write Up

What is the Winter Solstice?

The word “Solstice” is derived from two Latin words: sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still.) So basically, Solstice is the time when the Sun stands still.

Speaking in astronomical terms, Solstice is the time when the Sun reaches its highest (summer Solstice) and lowest (winter Solstice) point in the sky. During the winter Solstice we have the shortest day and the longest night of the year.

In the Northern Hemisphere, Winter Solstice usually occurs on December 21st to the 23rd and on June 20th to the 23rd in the Southern Hemisphere.

The Spiritual Importance of Winter Solstice

Winter Solstice was always one of the greatest events on any calendar cycle. This event had deep spiritual meanings in many cultures and in various cases, Winter Solstice was associated with the birth of the Sun.

In Ancient Egypt people celebrated the birth of Horus, in Ancient Rome it was the birth of the unconquered Sun. Ancient Persia celebrated the birth of Mithra and in Ancient Mexico it was the Feathered Serpent.

It seems that all Ancient cultures had similar spiritual meaning for Winter Solstice. This means that all cultures had almost the same interpretation of this astronomical event. This also means that humanity always cared deeply about the rebirth of light.

– Dr. Carpenter

How did you spend Solstice this December 2017?

I ask because it was extra special symbolically and astrologically. I spent mine gathering the last ingredients for the new Solstice Sacred Scent and watched the first light enter a 2700 BC Megalithic Monument, built in homage to the Summer and Winter Solstice. It was a deeply moving moment and I carried all of you in my heart whilst committing to prayers and ceremony. There was an intimate group with me, Mystical Touring and we all felt the deep nourishing silence that only such potent moments can bring forth. You can still capture this silence, right up until the first Full Moon of 2018. So please, do sit with it, retreat if you can and work with the subtle influences divinely.

Astrologically Speaking

  • Saturn has just returned home into Capricorn.
  • Mercury is no longer in Retrograde!
  • The Sun, (almost Venus), Lilith, Saturn and Pluto are all in Capricorn.

Do have a listen to this Voice Recording:

 

I go into some expressions on Saturn returning home. I will be saying more on the Saturn in Capricorn effect very soon.

What I must emphasis on right now is the major Capricornian action in our skies. Just feel it for a second… what do you think will happen when Venus, The Sun, Lilith, Saturn and Pluto all dance with Capricorn? The exact SMASH will take place on Christmas Day (25th of December at 16:25 GMT.) Mercury will soon too enter the show, shifting into Capricorn on the 11th of January 2018. Watch out because this Stellium will ROAR.

How can such intensity be captured written down? I have recorded all of my thoughts on a series of Mp3’s and can send them to you via email. I know y’all are making requests that I set up a formal podcast…and I WILL….I promise…..but for now, do email me if you are interested in hearing all there is to know about this remarkably influential time. Click here to receive these free insights via Mp3.

A Ritual for the Capricornian Stellium on the 25th of December 2017

Ambitions, what motivates us, our status in society, who we are out there and who that is really are all key themes now.

Take the time on the 25th to assess what motivates you? What is the driving force pushing you forward? Is it a healthy force or are you driven by poisonous emotions? All poisonous emotions can be transformed…so work with the magic of the 25th to have a good look into what it is that moves you forward? Are you doing all you do for the utmost benefit or not? Just how much of your intentions are pure? All these questions are worthy of answers and you need to answer them to you. Only to you! After you have assessed your ambitions and the governing forces beneath them, take the time to really confirm if you are happy with them, if your heart is pleased? How does your heart feel? Note down your discoveries and re-set your divine intention wherever it is lacking. When we talk about divine intention we are talking about being of a sincere service to all beings, far and wide and to our Earth and its elements. The Capricornian Stelliums influence tends to do really well in a worldly sense so please ensure to harness the energy in a GREATER way and go beyond the narrowness of the ego. A lot of GREAT work can be accomplished under this influence and through simply setting ones intentions, starting a blessed project or planning something out, the 25th is a guaranteed portal towards success when used correctly.

Are you in a GENEROUS mood?

New Moon in Sagittarius
The Last New Moon of 2017
5 Planets 5 Strengths
Long Live The Divine Archer

With the Sun, Moon, Venus, Saturn and Mercury all in Sagittarius, we will be gifted with the opportunity of Divine Goal Setting and if we allow it, this New Moon will knock our socks off towards greater realizations. The New Moon will take place on the 17th / 18th of December 2017 and peak at around 7:30am on the 18th (Parisian Time.) To be ready for the last New Moon of 2017, prepare for spiritual “take off” and open your heart to the swiftness of advancement. We are all natural born seekers and this Divine Archer won’t let our targets get away, so do ask for your wishes to be granted and they will! The strength of these 5 planets will provide us with a Jupiterian boon, Saturn has been in Sagittarius for a while now and just before its departure into Capricorn, it will offer us some final teachings on a needed cosmic order. With the support of so many juicy planets, we are destined to grow and in speeds unimaginable. This portal of advancement is short so please soak it up until the 20th because after that, the lights will dim and the REAL discipliner shall arrive.

How can we explore the immense wonders of this universe through our heart and soul? When can we just leap off into the unknown risk free? Sagittarius knows the path and never fakes a quest. The movements of this lucky Star have infinite benefits. There will always be some rough edges and difficult to control outcomes but the ride is well worth it and so is the wisdom obtained once done.

We all have some of this lucky Star within us; the Jupiterian blessings are vast and love to influence us into “believing.” Take these next few days as a precious reminder of how grand the universe is and contemplate on how we fit into it, what are we really? Aren’t these all worthwhile queries? A Sagittarius Moon would say YES and leap to the challenge of seeking out a supreme freedom! If it is a supreme freedom you want, aspire for it now! Wish with all your heart that this entire universe will be free of its misery and obtain the greatest gift of all… “Liberation.” This is where the last New Moon of 2017 is taking us; it is showing us the way to awakening and through a one pointed, fearless sense of certainty. It wants us to believe in more than what the rational mind permits. It wants us to believe in worlds beyond this one, in lands that exist far far away or deep deep within.  Do we ever wonder what is happening in the eye of a storm? Maybe there is an elegant party occurring or a stage of wild, glittery singers!

This stellium of Sagittarian power must be used alchemically and for the greater good. If you feel pain in your thighs, hips, lower back and pelvic area it is due to the concentrated planetary influences. A useful way to let the massive surge of new energy flow through you is to stabilize it by some deep stretches and by working with simple meditation practices. If the energy is too loud please have long and peaceful walks where you are focusing on your body and its movements. I will provide us with a New Moon Ritual now that will support the harnessing of this energy and please, do not be alarmed with the intensity of this time, it has come to recharge our spiritual batteries and reactivate our trust in the universe.

New Moon in Sagittarius Ritual, the Last New Moon of 2017

Why would such an opposite of subtle Star shine forth in the dying part of the year? Isn’t it a time for quiet and silencing so that we can work with our hidden and more delicate energies?

It does seem ironic that such a grandiose Sign influences us with chunks of intensity during this part of the year yet there is a profound reason and let me explain why…..

.…….the ascended Sagittarius influence is all about the inner quest and the inner Holy Grail retrieval. Sure, we need infinite outer journeys to arrive deep within ourselves but when we do arrive we are stunned by the glowing magnificence. It takes boosted levels of confidence and devotion to NEVER GIVE UP, so doesn’t it make sense that our Divine Archer arrives just before Solstice to enable an optimistic focus throughout the death of many layers? I sincerely think so!

We secretly want the Jupiterian emphasis because if we really think about it, it wouldn’t fit if the New Moon were in Libra or Pisces during the dying part of the year. We need something ALL-EMBRACING and large. This is exactly what we have; the luckiest signs of them all and this Star is here to remind us of the TRUEST QUEST.  If we remember we will be able to see in the dark and win our way towards the birth of the new light. We mustn’t give up nor fear the infinite roads, the journey will end and we will be victorious through our trust and fearless belief in a deeper sense of being. This Sagittarius New Moon coupled with the force of many other planets is blessing us with the energy we need to get through and ascend, high above the petty borders of the ego. Rise up dear hearts and enjoy the glory of this time.

The Rituals….

  1. Focus on your dreams, keep a dream journal beside your bed and pay attention to the visions you have during this New Moon. The Divine Archer is also a Shaman and can aid you through the magical world of dreams and sleep. I recommend that you specifically set the intention on the 18th night to receive a prophetic dream / vision that will help you on your soul-life journey. To assist this intention light a purple candle and place an amethyst crystal near your pillow. If you would like to complete an elaborate Prophetic Dream Ritual that was handed to me by my ancestors, please email me here and I will provide it to you.  If a prophetic dream / vision did not arrive, please look out for serendipitous signs on the 19th and 20th and ensure to write them down. For further information on working with Dreams and their Interpretations click here.
  2. As my mother and I would always do, CREATE A DIVINE VISION BOARD on the New Moon in Sagittarius! You will need a large coloured piece of paper ideally A2 in size. Cut out desired images from various magazines or print images of your goals from the Internet. Stick them all onto your Divine Vision Board and mark this as your wishes and aspirations of what you would like to accomplish in 2018. Feel free to draw on the board and write on it if you cannot find the matching images. I remember writing poetry on mine to cryptically express my goals. Be as creative as you please! Once you are done, burn the Divine Vision Board created under the light of the Sunrise on the 20th. Whilst burning this, see and feel all your aspirations succeeding and becoming complete in their nature. Children love this exercise so have fun getting all the family involved.
  3. Broaden your own Cultural or Religious perspective via researching / investigating something that attracts you. Honoring the New Moon in Sagittarius is to honor cultures from all around the world and their belief systems. If it is Astrology that interests you, read about a new theme linked to the subject. Our Divine Archer wants you to expand your horizons by watching an informative documentary or by actually going on a pilgrimage to a sacred place somewhere out there! Where will you go? Sometimes just sitting by the seaside or resting at the top of a nearby mountain is enough. Do something under the light of this New Moon to feed your soul and its curiosity. Be a pilgrim in whatever way that may mean to you! If you’re interested in Mystical Touring with TarotbyTashi in 2018 click here.
  4. The bright light of optimism is available so gather if you can around an open fire and tell wholehearted stories. Laugh at the magic of life and laugh because you love it. Laugh because you know life deserves to be celebrated. Have a cheerful and freeing time. Being beside an open fire is an instant way to feel the blazing splendor of this planetary influence.
  5. Soak your feet in a warm saffron infused bath. You can also add some Essential Oils and beneficial Salts. I recommend Honeysuckle, Jasmine and / or Amber.

I will be sharing a lot more with you soon as there will be MAJOR ACTION in our skies this December. I am tempted to start the #inallherforms ceremony on or around solstice (stay tuned.)

Did you know that my Mercury in Retrograde Sacred Scent is now ready to send off out into the world? If you would like to know more about this needed Essential Oil Blend made under the influence of Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius and with ingredients picked from a Temple dedicated to Hermes / Mercury himself, please email me here. This particular Sacred Scent will get us through any future Mercury in Retrograde event and is made with 100% natural ingredients. Some ingredients to mention are Mugwort, Basil, Marjoram and hand picked Blossom. I can ship to anywhere in the world and the promotional price for a 15ml Bottle is $28.00 USD. I have various Sacred Scents available and can custom make a blend to benefit your Star Map and wishes.

Some Closing Notes…

On this New Moon you are being called to overcome your procrastinations. Be bold and take action in aiming towards your hearts quest. Do not be tactless; instead, know your worth and be a divine recipient of supreme wisdom. Feel motivated by the constant question of “what is my main purpose in this life?” Be motivated by the answers that arise and inspire a generous service to humanity! There is no frustration where divine intention is set, under this New Moon know your worth and aim higher. If there are patterns we need to overcome and habits we yearn to exhaust, this New Moon shall speed up the process of purification. Whatever occurs, see it as a chance to purify and cleanse the various layers that need to die down pre-solstice. If you can make the time to play, to be playful and create ways to express your creativity it will be healing and supportive. No need for point blank honesty now, turn it inward and ascend.

An Affirmation / Invocation

“I rise above all of the egos limitations and offer myself to the supreme service of humanity. My thoughts are as powerful as my eyes; what I think, is what I see, and what I think is what I am. May my thoughts never sway from the True Quest and may my eyes always be aligned firmly with the eyes of the Divine Archer.”

 Infinite New Moon Blessings Everyone!

Full Moon in Gemini
Mercury Retrograde
Several Oppositions
December 3rd 2017

The early weeks of December will lack the texture we desire. The stampedes of noise, a lot of noise and most of it stemming from our heads, will leave us heavily cluttered. Don’t believe the cosmic tricksters that play about, they want us to lose our grip and miss the Bull’s Eye of a season! Sure, December will be grand but this may seem impossible to consider just now. If you are asking yourself “why all this confusion, why all this weight?” believe me, it’s my question too and I can finally present you with an answer.

December kicks off with some annoying cosmic oppositions and this naturally manipulates us into a halt or a lengthy pause of some kind. We are silly if we think we are not manipulated by planetary influences because we frequently are. What bothers me most is how gloomy some influences can be…..but of course….there are always tricks and ways to steer clear from such influences. Just know, for the most part, they catch us when they catch us!

The current line up isn’t your straightforward blast of an influence like that blazing Full Moon in Aries we shared on October the 5th 2017. This line up is conniving, slimy and will make it harder for us to detect. The good news is, this will not last long but could make us lose chunks of our needed energy. It may also just bring us down to our knees in unwanted discomfort.

Mercury goes Retrograde in Sagittarius in the early hours of the 3rd of December 2017 followed by a Full Moon in Gemini opposition. What adds to the “dimming of the clarity lights” is the Neptune Square Moon effect.  This square will make our Full Moon experience stranger than usual, the conflicting feelings VS thoughts will run around and have us chasing them for absolutely no reason.  I caution you to be mindful of psychic vampires, energy theft and any form of cheating, dishonesty or scandal. Neptune in this position will push for illness and not just any form of illness, but the one that eats at the mind and messes with the tuning. We should all avoid intoxicants on or around this Full Moon as well as do our best to not trust our dreams, projections or hunches. There is a lot more pulling us now so we best maintain a meditative pose, waiting for this tricky line up to pass.

The USEFUL aspects of this Gemini Full Moon

What a first-rate time to examine all forms of communication and to have a healthy talk with ourselves.

Mercury in Retrograde opposing this Moon will force us into a needed silence. Do use this opposition wisely as some planetary aspects will sicken us with doubts. I suggest a lot of silence, plus fearless contemplation on where we are cheating ourselves, where we are cheating others and how much deceit we allow into our lives!

The theme is wishing for the collective version of a whole to “cut the bull****” so to speak and to reflect back, on all of 2017 with integrity. This looking back can make our final portion of the year grander, we need to see things as they were and understand them, understand our losses and gains. Where we hurt others, how we hurt ourselves and recall all the major events on a global scale that would have impacted our collective consciousness.  Using this Full Moon to reflect, learn and note down such knowledge will pave a way into a correct Mercury Retrograde tone. It can also be speedy in its success if worked with directly.

A Little Full Moon Exercise…..

If 2017 could be described in 5 words, what would those be to you? Under the light of this Full Moon, write those words down and integrate your lessons. See and feel how each word resonates to your current disposition and ask yourself what words would you like to take into the journey of 2018? Draw a graph too, from month to month, examining your lows and highs in 2017, have a look at it and see your rhythms and then smile away. It’s a pretty picture isn’t it? The madness of life and its moods! Keep the graph as a reminder until the end of the month, before setting ones intention for the New Year. Work with the graph for healing each month and setting it free as you release yourself into the dying part of the year.

    

The above exercises will help lighten up the gloom and make our entry into the final portion of the year useful. Another fun way to free up some chains is to donate a handful of our old clothes and belongings to the poor. We could even set up a group fundraiser. Yes, the Gemini Full Moon can attract money through social gatherings and when aimed at humanitarian pursuits, it’s rare we miss. The more honesty put into supporting those who are underprivileged, the better! This cosmic line up kind of deserves it.

Some Closing Notes

It starts before it really begins is the trick of this entry into December. I mean, the real major players in our sky, will do some great things later this month so we best not take these first impressions too seriously. We are heading towards a very powerful end of month with Venus, Pluto, The Sun, Saturn and Lilith in Capricorn. Did you read that well because it will be MAJOR. We have also just entered Eclipse Season, with our first Eclipse of 2018 to take place on the 31st of January on a Blue Moon….WOW.

There will be 5 Eclipses in 2018 and some BIG ASTRO TALK. Uranus will make its 7 Year shift into Taurus, we will witness an approaching towards this 2020 collective deadline and we will really start to feel the urgency around rising or falling. It sounds quite extreme doesn’t it? Well it will be and it needs a noteworthy level of respect.

I salute December, because to me, and to many others, it is a symbolic season to honour the Divine and Sacred Feminine #inallherforms. This particular end of Month will emphasis on working with the Shadow elements of the Divine and Sacred Feminine principal as well as make us embrace the rawness around what that really means.

Here is a little something I put together on Instagram in respect to this Months dominating energy….

…..How are you going to unwind into silent and still December? No matter where we are on this precious globe, December will always be silencing and this fact goes beyond the concepts of Winter. December silences us so that we can process the significance of the year. It has a trance like quality, with a windy swiftness into the womb, into the softness of ones very own core. Would you believe me if I told you December is for Mothers, Maidens and Krohns? The mysteries of this Month have been holding us for centuries and if we look closely, we bond so profoundly (more than we do in any other month) during “the final chapter” themed December.

An Invocation

“The great mother awakens from her rest; the sacred essence of the Divine Feminine arises. Her breath is crisp, her first look is deadly and her last look takes us out of all the entrapments of the year now gone. I salute December, for it is there where we can sleep like a hibernating bear or truly realise that our eyes are brighter in the dark!” – TarotbyTashi

Blessed entry into December everyone! Dance around the fire, sing and look up, feel all that burns above you. We are not alone. We are forever united and so we must be.

    

I will be sharing more with you closer to the New Moon and Solstice. By then, all matters will feel lighter and the universe will be preparing to install in us a completely new download. Let us clean out the clutter, let it fall away and let us do the last bit of healing work to end this year justly. If we commit to some open hearted communication with others, and ourselves…..under the light of this Full Moon, we will bypass so much of the mess and then the luck of Jupiter will present its pizzazz to this Mercury Backward story.

Thank you everyone for an expansive 2017, I appreciate you and the attention you give to such things. It’s the love of magic that keeps the magic alive, so lets keep at it!

Feel free to share this with all of your friends and do note I am taking TarotbyTashi service bookings for January and February now.

Healing, Purifying and Honest Full Moon Blessings Dear Ones!

Love and light,

Jolly and Beneficial
Planetary Movements
June 2017

June has arrived and I am so happy! The lightness of this Astrologically beneficial month can already be felt.

We have so much to look forward to and I will start by mentioning the important Planetary Movements…..

  • Mars in Cancer from June 4th
  • Jupiter goes direct in Libra from June 9th
  • Full Moon in Sagittarius on June 9th
  • Gemini enters Mercury from June 6th
  • Venus in Taurus from June 6th
  • Neptune retrograde in Pisces from June 16th
  • Solstice on 21st
  • New Moon in Cancer on 24th

Tashi with Tarot Cards….as you can see, there are many yummy and juicy cosmic forms of support. To spell it out for you, it will REALLY be a beneficial month!

Make the most of this month by being as present with yourself as possible and on a daily basis. The effort and concern put into rekindling old flames, reuniting with loved ones and being open to meeting sincere connections will not go to waste. There is so much long awaited beauty and joy in the atmosphere that we must soak up and share! It is not often that we get to have so many yummy Planets dancing with the Star Signs that they rule.

The fact that Jupiter goes direct in Libra on the exact same day as the capacious and sanguine Full Moon in Sagittarius implies how easy it will be to start anew, connect with soul level friends, travel for fun and relaxation, plus to reinvent the way we approach our work for the world.

There is a chunk of romance in the air and this is not the average kind of romance. It is going to appear hot and steamy with a pace that will exceed expectations. If new flames light up in June please trust the mystery and be open to the explorative fast paced degree of a union. The friends we make in June will be made in a cosmically supportive manner and are destined to last for a VERY LONG TIME.

The wonderful world of work will shine bright if we utilize the combination of the Full Moon, Mercury in Gemini and Jupiter’s forward movement in Libra. These are all powerful buddies in professional matters and to avoid complication, be willing to socialize, be happy to focus on partnerships, appreciation of colleagues and clients as well as simply taking action rather than being still. There are fortunate features in all matters related to networking and meeting the right people at the right time so please please do get out there!

It hasn’t been easy adjusting to the over all frequency of the current times and we have been quite worked, tested and poked yet….if there was one month that allows a real celebration this year I am pointing to this one.

Let the lightness and cheerful expressions of June support your creativity, spiritual practice and optimistic wishes for yourself and others. Let it reach into your heart and make it playful again. Any new ventures started this month will have the blessings of the sky, think of June as a godsend. Think of June as a pleasantly healing and uplifting song. If we do face any troubles this month know that they shouldn’t last too long and are pushing us forward, forward out of anything stagnant.

Direct and playful communication is encouraged so let the child within take a bit of the center stage and live curiously.

After the 21st of June the watery covens will boil and the magic within will be expressed in our dreams, it will also be expressed in how we nurture others and in the readiness to go again, deep into the womb of truth. I can not say July will be as jolly because it will not however all that will come forth hereon in will not seem as difficult should we fill our tanks with fun this month and work with the positive energy to do many positive things!

An Astrological Update
December 2016

Is it true, are we really sitting on the last weeks of 2016? Or is this mad dream about to send us to an awakened check in?

Yes it is true and we are dying down, burning up and kissing goodbye to what was an absolutely tempestuous year yet the questions from our hearts continue and we long for ground. Will we ever land back to where we started or are we just hugging air? The ground we long for will not be presented in the same way, for now we should learn to walk on water, as 2017 requires quite the lightness of being. We can definitely make it, in fact, we must!

Standing on the mountain peak of Astrology, the view signifies that 2016 needed to surprise us. We needed to lose our sense of terrain, to float a little and to spin a lot. The floating continues and we all are wishing to arrive at a place of concrete clarity yet the stars just don’t agree. As we look up this winter/summer we will see that the stars have so much more to share and their words are not about “landing” but about the beauty of “trusting” an evolution strongly needed and that is: a lighter version of being.

All the great masters, teachers and spiritual leaders of the past had their fair share of hardships before they too evolved into a lighter state of being. In order for us to maximize the mad, uncanny and wild 2016, we need to really trust in a part of us that needs no planning. A part of us that is indeed the supreme compass yet we give it little value as we march our minds into a controlling oblivion. A good starting point is to activate the heart chakra or at the very least, to listen to truth in-between noise and in THAT solitary land of sincerity you will never feel alone. The stars know we are all in this hand in hand and need us to rise up even more now, as the universe pushes us into a state of transformation.

The Final Full Moon of 2016 will take place on the 13th – 14th of December and bops in Gemini. Mercury will retrograde from the 19th of December until the 8th of January in Sagittarius / Capricorn and the Final New Moon of 2016, also in Capricorn shall take place on the 29th.

How can we work best with the Cosmic Magic?

Tomorrows Gemini Full Moon is here to whack us out with large and loud insights. We will need pens and paper to write down all that comes to our mind, there will be much to convey and the ideas born over the next 4 days will materialize if trusted.

This final Full Moon is a vulnerable one, testing our minds and the boundaries we set when connecting and sharing. The Gemini in us needs to play yet with Chiron squaring the general flow of this star we cannot help but be brutally honest.

When Gemini is made to tell the truth, without facades or clever exit plans, we will all get poked because the truth when told from this star is far from silent! This influence will bring many secrets out into the open, politically, intimately and personally. The surprises are not so much unexpected but hard to accept because who can really handle the truth? Don’t we all try and keep things presentable? Well, with radical and loud cosmic influences present I don’t see much space for presentations now. There will only be wild and necessary verity in all matters of communication, our minds and how we connect globally/intimately.

If we are overthinking, scared and low on energy we shouldn’t worry too much because the New Moon on the 29th will bring forth the solidity needed to feel secure (at least for some weeks).

When the truth of Gemini is harnessed great work can be accomplished, I would personally use this Full Moon time to write and communicate because the accuracy of perception will be at a needed peak. We can also appreciate the healing expositions, we need them and we shouldn’t fear a little more unraveling. Mercury in Retrograde adds to the need to prioritize our ideas and generate a wish to contribute more on a global level. As the year dies down, the hibernation of our souls will prove beautiful when allowed to rest in a truthful hymn. We wont need to over socialize this years end, the stars have us wishing for mountain peaks, rooms with views of limitless oceans and forests dressed in green. We need the “me time” to better connect with each other on a level that is lighter and higher in 2017. If we ignore this chance to eliminate the doubt how will we ever trust from our supreme compass? As many would say “ find peace without knowing all the answers” and “never ever give up”.

Spiritual Importance of Full Moons

During a Full Moon, everything gets puffed up (the good and the bad) so therefore spiritual practitioners work with this magnifying time to heal and send powerful loving energy to all beings.

The ancients have witnessed many miraculous successes on or during full moons. One important historical event to mention is the enlightenment of Lord Buddha Shakyamuni. His enlightenment took place on a Full Moon. In fact, all the important events of Lord Buddha Shakyamuni’s life occurred on Full Moons. There are various other spiritual figures of our history that reached their journeys pinnacle on Full Moons and we don’t need to look too far back to see just how many glorious moments were blessed on such days.

It is believed among theosophy masters that during full moons a closer connection between humanity and awakened beings is possible and this is why many choose to group meditate and share in spiritual activities.

The effects of Full Moons start to appear 2 days before and continue 2 days after the Full Moon is at its climax, keeping in mind that the Full Moon climax is a key moment of greater healing and awakening.

Because of the Moons closeness to the Earth it is one of the most influential cosmic bodies and has a constant effect on all beings here. We need to learn to respect the phases and lessons of our Moon. The representations are subtle but undeniably powerful.

Bringing Back The Divine Feminine Into Cultural Memory

Exactly this time 2 years ago, I started a little ongoing project that brings back the divine feminine into cultural memory, invoking the great mother goddess in all her forms. A great way to honour this is on Solstice itself. Solstice is in approximately 8 days.

The way we collaborated last year was to share and post our favourite goddesses, deities and woman of cultural importance on the TarotbyTashi Facebook and Instagram page and with notes of inspiration.

Let’s do this again to remember and retrace the glory of the great mother energy in all her forms. If posting on Instagram please hashtag #inallherforms.

I look forward to receive your inspirational pictures and wishes by the magical evening of solstice where the union of light and night give birth to her whirlwind. See if you can watch the sunrise on the 22nd morning and indulge in the beauty of the lights return.

A little invocation:

“Hail for the winds have come and the tides will turn and our hearts will burn. Hail. An undeniable presence is she, our lady of great mystery.”

Some theory from Dr. Carpenter:

What is the Winter Solstice?

The word “solstice” is derived from two Latin words: sol (“sun) and sistere (“to stand still”). So, basically, the solstice is the time when the sun stands still. Speaking in astronomical terms, solstice is the time, when sun reaches its highest (summer solstice) and lowest (winter solstice) point in the sky. During the winter solstice we have the shortest day and the longest night of the year. Winter solstice usually occurs on December 21 to 23 in the Northern Hemisphere and on June 20 to 23 in the Southern Hemisphere.

The Spiritual Meaning of Winter Solstice:

The winter solstice was always one of the greatest events on the calendar cycle. This event had deep spiritual meanings in many cultures. In many cases, Winter Solstice was associated with the birth of the Sun.

In ancient Egypt people celebrated the birth of Horus, in ancient Rome it was the birth of the unconquered Sun. Ancient Persia celebrated the birth of Mithra, in ancient Mexico it was the feathered serpent.

It seems that all ancient cultures had similar spiritual meaning for Winter Solstice. This means that all cultures had almost the same interpretation of this astronomical event. This means that humanity always cared about the rebirth of light.
