Ariadne's Newsletter August 2009

Dear friends, dreamers and soulmate readers,

My garden is being harvested, lots of ripe tomatoes, squash, green peppers and string beans. I had to laugh at a friend of mine who said she harvested her first $68 tomato. It was her first garden and she barred no expense in getting all the right ingredients, plant food and soil, to stimulate its growth. I, on the other hand, relied on 2 neighbors for tilling and compost and got my plants from the church. It only cost me a grateful handshake. I have already picked 70 tomatoes and am stewing some as I write. The lesson? Love Thy Neighbor.

I have put up a needed facelift on my website and added new content for you browse through. I think that you will find it a bit more organized and easy to navigate through. There’s lots of content for all of you questing for your soulmate and those whose relationships are just beginning. http://www.ariadnegreen.com

God bless you,

Ariadne Green

ASTRO-FORECAST

“I THINK I CAN” PSYCHOLOGY

WHAT EARNS YOU AND YOUR SOULMATE A SECOND CHANCE?

USING YOUR DREAMS TO REBIRTH THE GODDESS WITHIN





Astro Forecast

The Sun is in Leo, the sign of the Lion Hearted. Self-love, pride and self-expression are the attributes of this Sun sign and later in the month when the new moon is also in Leo these attributes will be amplified. The new moon will urge you to begin a new pampering routine. Get your bubble bath out.

Mars will square Uranus on the 16th through the 18th adding gasoline to the fires in your household. If you don’t keep a cool head and an open heart things could explode. Don’t let petty arguments build into a big fight and jeopardize your friendships or love mate relationship. The California fires can be seen as a metaphor and are a reminder that in a drought (neglect) fires (anger) erupt more easily.

In addition, we have the Sun opposing Neptune and sextile Mars on August 16 and 17. Be aware of how your ego or lack of self-esteem (Leo Sun) can sabotage your intuitive and creative urges (Neptune). You may find yourself hesitating because of a self-indulgent attitude instead of using the creative opportunities in front of you to fulfill your life.

Also Mercury conjunct Saturn, Venus sextile Saturn on August 17 and 18, encourages you to communicate about economic issues. Remember money matters.

Thomas The Train Psychology--I Think I Can

A friend of mine longed to return to her island home, but the financial picture on the islands didn’t look very inviting. She knew she would have to secure a job once she landed and called me for a reading, advice and support. I told her it made more sense in her case to land the job before she left. The “buts” of doubts escalated as we discussed her dilemma and her fears. With the failing economy and when so many islanders were unemployed, she believed no one would consider hiring her. After all, she wasn’t living on the island and without a face to face interview it seemed next to impossible. I told her that from a spiritual perspective her thinking didn’t hold water. The flow of creativity from Great Spirit would steer the way and her heart would manifest her desired outcome. By applying a bit of “Thomas The Train psychology”—I think I can…I think I can…Yes, I Can, she landed a job, a couple of choices of places to live and a discount car to drive around in.

What Earns Soulmates A Second Chance.

The dawning realization that your soulmate was someone from your past can leave you wondering if your paths will ever cross again. For some lucky soulmates the door swings open for a second chance if the time is right and if each has made some changes for the better.

What is it that earns soulmates a second chance at fulfilling their promises to each other?

1. Soul searching and maturational strides. Life will be full of experiences that push you and your soulmate to do the inner work necessary and shed the patterns that stood in the way. If your attitudes change for the better and both of you are ready the stars will align and the door will magically open for a second chance.

2. The power of forgiveness. There is nothing like true forgiveness to set your hearts free to love again. By forgiving yourself for your mistakes, ones that may have caused the rift, you clear not only your conscience, but the pathway of your heart. With your heart cleansed of regrets, a powerful love note will be sent to your soulmate.

3. Holding them in your heart and in your prayers. The act of keeping someone in your thoughts and prayers will not only influence their life positively, but it will improve you spiritually. Not that you want to force them to love you by holding a prayer vigil or summoning the power of the universe to bring them back to your door. It’s will be enough to mention them in your prayers and to meditate in your heart visualizing them there inside.

4. Being Ready and Able. Reuniting with your soulmate after a long period of disconnect may not be easy. You may have to brave it and make a concerted effort to reconnect.

Unearthing the Goddess Within Using Yours Dreams.

I heard a dream last week from a dreamer who needed to summon up her more feminine qualities, ones buried because of past-life wounds and feeling degraded as a woman.

In the dream, she heard a rumbling or gurgling in the earth and witnessed the beautiful archetype of her own feminine emerging as an earth goddess. Rather than embracing her she fled pursuing a masculine throne.

Many women who believe feminine qualities won’t get them what they want from world emasculate themselves choosing a briefcase and a tailored suit to earn respect in the workplace. A woman may not realize the damage she is doing to her feminine psyche or how truly unhappy she is until a dream like the one above makes the point clear. A woman doesn’t need to make herself into a man to earn respect and succeed. She needs to retrieve her worth as a woman and embrace the Goddess within.

Ariadne's Newletter Blog

Dear Friends, dreamer and readers,

I am grateful for the little things this week, like a foot-long squash from my garden and the ladybugs that keep other pests under control. Things like my daughter getting a job after a long period of unemployment. Not that it pays well, but it will do wonders for her self-esteem. Little achievements may seem like no improvement at all if we are only focused on manifesting our greatest desires. It may seem like we are settling for less when in truth we may need to be humbled a bit with limitations. What we don’t always realize is that limitations improve us spiritually. They teach us to value what we do have and not to focus so much on what we haven’t been able to achieve. Not everyone is meant to be a super star, but everyone is meant to shine. Each little contribution we make to our world creates ripples of energy that create bigger ripples in the pool of the collective.

May your little accomplishments be considered grand achievements this month.
Blessings,
Ariadne

Astro News--Lunar Eclipse July 7th

The lunar eclipse on July 7th will surely magnify the dynamic tension between the Capricorn and Cancer polarities, Father and Mother, two signs with opposing views. The full moon in Capricorn, the sign of patriarchal values will be eclipsed by the Sun in Cancer forcing us to focus on the Cancerian condition. What might we expect? We might expect an illumination of the shadow that has diminished the worth Cancerian qualities, values such as compassion, motherhood, and nurturing. Cancer, the sign of Demeter the maternal goddess, as the giver of the bounty of life is sometimes taken for granted if not out right ridiculed. Take for instance, Sarah Palin’s resignation as governor of Alaska as a good example. We are liable to hear more of the details behind her untimely decision to leave her post as Governor, virtually ending her political career. “No it won’t be politics as usual”, says Sarah to the Capricorn administration. And let’s not forget Michael Jackson will be buried on this Lunar Eclipse, signifying a heart-wrenching end to a musical icon and humanitarian whose lyrics included, “We are the world, we are the children”, a tribute to children everywhere. His Cancerian qualities were something he was persecuted for and in the end his compassionate heart failed.

To use the energies of this eclipse for the benefit of all, I suggest you start the day honoring those who give so much of their hearts to you, who show you compassion and who give unselfishly.

Is it A Romantic Fling or the Real Thing?

How does a woman recognize her tendencies to create a soulmate out of thin air?
Here are a few common mistakes women make.

Equates sexual magnetism and physical attraction with spiritual chemistry.
A smile from across the room from a potential Mr. Right, for some women can produce a hormonal rush. And she’ll likely attribute it to the divine power of a spiritual connection if it develops into a full-fledged romance. But is she right? Not necessarily. True spiritual chemistry, the kind experienced by soulmates, is something far more powerful. Complementary harmonies that match and blend produce a familiar tune in each of their hearts. A divine spark is lit and the power between them becomes easy to recognize. The connection with her soulmate will heighten a woman’s consciousness and intelligence rather than reducing it to instinctual drives and mindlessness.

Pick up lines immortalized as love sonnets. What woman wouldn’t want to be told she was as beautiful as Madonna, the brightest star in the sky, as wise as the ages and so on. Seemingly sincere words uttered in the heat of a passionate moment are only words if not attached to a committed heart. A woman is apt to make herself lovesick if she memorizes the words, reciting them over and over again in her head as if they possess some divine power to heal all feminine wounds. She will tell herself only a soulmate could see her in such a divine light, even if her love interest is a Casanova.

Considers a man who looks like her romantic ideal her soulmate
Masculine characteristics and physical features that make the heart flutter may merely be the result of conditioning to physical ideals and stereotypes of manliness. A woman may also hold up male qualities such as stability, rational intelligence, fatherliness or even machoness and insist on them as her standard for a soulmate. If so, she has constructed her own archetype of a soulmate and will fall in love with the man who seems to project her ideal. Because he’s everything she asked for, in her mind he’s “the one”. Her personal tastes, however, may have thrown her way way off base. Her true soulmate may be an altogether different breed—an opposite who complements her own qualities rather everything she wants in a man.

Dreams Reveal Our True Value.

I was told a dream recently in which the dreamer dreamt he was being chased by Orcas, killer whales. When he stopped to face them, one Orca stopped just short of him and handed him a gift. To his surprise, inside the package were radiant jewels. The orcas in the dreamer’s dreamer, were his spiritual animal allies, acting as messengers from the vast ocean of the subconscious. They signified a higher consciousness able to navigate waves of consciousness. The gift of the jewels was meant to help this young man realize his worth as a radiant angel on earth. Each jewel would bring him greater understanding of his spiritual worth.

The Symbolism in Mary Magdalene's Rose

Have you seen the video--The Secret in Mary Magdalene's Rose? If not here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YL2K3gcRaLs

I thought it due time to give a bit more of an interpretation to the symbolism within the rose. And with Easter being this Sunday it is a perfect time to add a bit more to the resurrection story. This excerpt is taken from my book, Divine Complement:

"The imagery within the twincentered rose encapsulates a story of spiritual evolution between Jesus and Mary Magdalene, as sacred bride and bridegroom. Jesus is depicted beneath what appear to be palm branches, symbolic of Jesus’ personal glory, righteousness and victory. Palm leaves were used in several celebrations, one of which is the Feast of the Tabernacle to the glory and triumph of the Israelites. We know that upon entering Jerusalem on Nisan 10, the day for the selection of the Pascal lamb to be sacrificed for the Passover supper and days before the Crucifixion and Resurrection, crowds waved palm branches as Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. The crowds waving palm leaves celebrated him as the true King of Israel. Some authors, such as Lawrence Gardner, suggest that Jesus deliberately made his entry into Jerusalem on that day to enact the prophecy of Isaiah 53, which would have solidified his claim to the Davidic legacy. It is logical to interpret the pose beneath palm branches in the left bud as a snapshot of Christ’s glorified state just before the Resurrection.

Did Jesus, in seeking recognition as the true King of Israel, turn away from his beloved Mary for a time?

The imagery conveys that while Mary was turned toward her beloved, Jesus had turned away from her, perhaps in favor of his personal quest for self-realization and the fulfillment of his individual destiny as the Son of Man. Perhaps he lacked appreciation of Mary’s worth to his spiritual unity with God and it wasn’t until his transfiguration that he realized her divine connection to him through an initiation in the bridal chamber of his Stellar Heart. The imagery of the spirit form of Christ, emerging from the bud and standing in front of his beloved, remarks on this spiritual transformation that turned him toward his twin complement again in recognition and in love. He appears to be ready to reveal his heart to her and embrace her as his sacred bride. The imagery almost reminds us of the resurrection scene that occurred when Mary arrived at the tomb after the Crucifixion to anoint the body of Jesus. He appeared to her in the sepulcher on Easter morning as an angel, and it wasn’t until moments later that he identified himself to her as Jesus.

Looking closely at the right bud, we see that Mary is adorned in head veil and is seated in repose. She humbly faces her beloved as if expecting him to rise to the power of love. The image certainly denotes her divinity in connection to Jesus. Looking closely, we notice that she is embraced by another figure whose arms appear to cradle her. These arms seem to emerge from a larger-than-life feminine deity situated behind Mary in the outer folds of the right bud. This figure might very well represent the feminine aspect of God, the Holy Spirit, supporting Mary’s spiritual evolution and healing her from the shame of separation to resurrect her soul to its divinity.

The unfolding story in the photo represents a remarkable spiritual revelation, pointing to the divinity of the relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdalene. As a focal point in the right bud of the rose, Mary reconciles the split between god and goddess, inspiring us to venerate her and bring her out of the shadows of obscurity and perceived irrelevance to Jesus’ life. It cannot be denied that what was captured by the camera was meant to be regarded as a divine communication, understood for its intrinsic truth and preserved for its spiritual value in helping us to appreciate the divine union between Mary Magdalene and Jesus Christ after centuries of misconception."

Have a Happy Easter,
Ariadne

The Astrology of Valentine's Day

Remember the song
The Dawning of The Age of Aquarius?
And the lyric:
When the Moon is in the seventh house
And Jupiter aligns with Mars.
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars.

I was about 20 years old when free love hippie movement sent us all orbiting into drug induced bliss.

Things have changed, but the feeling of love hasn't.

I thought I point out that soulmates are being guided through a
powerful star and planetary alignment giving them a supreme opportunity to transform their love relationships.

Just like the song, it just so happens the the Moon in Libra will be in the Seventh House of love relationships and partnerships on Valentine's day. And Jupiter will be aligning with Mars in the 12th house of the subconscious. Jupiter expands our creative potentials and Mars moves them forward through action.

Is this Dawning of a New Age?
Well, it is definitely heralding a shift in priorities to help us to put our relationships first.

Yes, Mary Magdalene Was Jesus' Soulmate

Welcome! For those directed here from my site, this blog is intended as a forum for you thoughts, interpretations, questions and "be-nice" comments to the "Astrology of Jesus and Mary Magdalene", a preview chapter of a forthcoming book. If you stumbled onto this blog from elsewhere on the Magdalene trail, I direct you to my site to download the pdf and read my astonishing discoveries--charts and interpretations included. No, you don't have to be an astrologer. It was written for everyone! http://www.ariadnegreen.com/astrology.html

Robert Hand, the world renowned astrologer, commented when drawing up the charts, "The synchronicity of the two charts presenting such an equality of power and similar purpose is at the very least astonishing....they perfectly fit the more recent image (the emerging archetypes) that Jesus and Mary Magdalene are thought to have embodied."

Do you agree?
Bless you and look forward to your comments,
Ariadne Green
