Eris… answering a reader…

I’m reprinting what the reader Abra wrote. I agree that whenever we look at new rulerships we should not end old ones because both are true. Eris ruler of Libra isn’t saying that Venus isn’t a co-ruler, I do think it explains why Libras are very intellectual and tactical as well as being artistic. I don’t think this side of Libra has been properly examined and perhaps as we move forward Libras will utilize these abilities even more and our world will have a need for this in ways we can’t yet imagine.

Planets/celestial bodies are found during certain periods of time for a reason. Eris was found when we were at war in the Iraq and Afghanistan and shortly after the largest act of terrorism was every perpetrated, the game went up another notch. Now there were actually a lot of planetoids found during this period, so each will have to be sorted for what it all means. But what the Goddess Eris did was a form of guerrilla warfare and one can see the parallel. I won’t go into all of it because I don’t think it will fairly represent my point about Eris to bring up what happened that terrible day.

However, to those who felt marginalized and left behind while the rest of the world was enjoying prosperity and moving forward, that tactic did work to set in motion a ghost war – a war against a tiny invisible beast that we could never find the head of. However if one were on the side of those who felt invisible and marginalized the moment was a triumph against what felt like some sort of oppression through projection, better known as jealousy, very much the same motivation which led Eris to throw the apple into the wedding party.

So if one is a Libra or has strong Libra in the chart (and more Americans have Libra rising than any other sign) then perhaps this was a wake-up call to our own darker nature. We are competitive to the point of squashing all competition – just look at why the banks and almost all of our industry is failing. It isn’t just greed, it’s an insipid need to do better, be better than the next person. One has to wonder why? Perhaps the gentler nature of Venus who was a guide for so long to this sign, has receded due to our darker nature.

We as a whole have the chance now to look at what all of this means from all sides and use the powers of Eris for good or Evil (as in the case of 9/11). Eris energy itself isn’t either – simply put the Goddess represents strife which is just a human condition, it’s how we deal with that strife that elevates us and gives us the opportunity to move to a higher level of consciousness.

Here are the messages from the reader Abra:

Abra: I am a libra w/a Aries asc…and I love to cook, love good wine, am sensual. I am direct and prefer to be above board. I can relate to being a fighter but I don’t think I want to give up Venus as my ruling planet. According to ancient Maya, Venus sitings were associated with war/aggression. On a side note, when my mother started taking astrology classes when I was 9, I learned that my ruling planet was Venus…..so I told everyone in my 3rd grade class that I was from Venus. The teacher called home needless to say
Ever loving the Morning Star/Evening Star,
Abra

* Let me just note she has an Aries ascendant. The ascendant is actually more important in facilitating how one interacts with the world than anything else in a person’s chart. Aries people are very open and direct, and are willing to fight for what they believe in.

Abra:

I looked @ another website that called Eris Nibiru….now that’s a name I am very familiar with.

Interesting the association with Enoch and UFOs. Eris the planetoid was named after the ancient Greek Goddess of Strife who was the sister of Aries. But thanks for the tip there could be more information hidden in the name and it makes sense with what I’ve found so far. There will be more encoded in her name than I have figured out and am prepared to spend a lifetime studying it. If one looks up Eris Nibiru, one will find a connection to global warming, UFOs and Enoch who ancient astronaut theorists have linked to aliens. Having worked with that energy I can tell you, I’m sure it is alien. It does not feel human at all – in fact it has a rather cold and hyper-intellectual energy that feels as if one is tapping into a much more highly evolved intelligence than our own. It however does not feel angelic to me. At first I wasn’t sure, but after working with angelic energy as well, angelic energy is much more akin to human energy. They aren’t emotionally cold and heady like Enochian energies.

Best wishes,

Denise

UFOs

From Lenora:

These aliens people have been seeing, which ones are they? Here is a list and description of known types of aliens:

http://www.ufocasebook.com/alientypes.html

I have my own theory and would like to see if others are thinking the same thing I am. I just wondered why they picked on the Haitians who seem like pretty harmless as far as weapons that might cause damage to an alien craft are concerned. i do believe these aliens have a fear of our atomic weapons.

I clicked on the link of different alien types. I think the author is correct about a lot, if not all of his assertions and types of aliens. I have never seen or heard anyone put together the alien agenda in the way I felt it was, which is pretty much what came to me before the quake in Haiti. Why (if this is connected to the aliens) they would want to destroy or start their war in that part of the world, I don’t know. It makes me wonder if it was due to the extreme poverty and the desire to do as much damage as possible to the Collective psyche of our race as possible. The devastation there is palpable, I can’t help but feel it – have had a migraine for a week now that will not go away. I don’t think I’m alone in the effect so many people are and have been feeling since this has happened. Perhaps it was meant to throw us off so other attacks would be easier, our minds fixated on this crisis and our emotions frazzled by the horrifying destruction.

I hope what I saw was just a metaphor and had no literal truth to it. This is always a problem when dealing with inter-dimensional beings whether they be aliens, angels, spirit guides or ghosts. It’s very difficult to get a handle on whether these beings are presenting an image of what they want to project or if people/sensitives are seeing them as they truly are. Or if they are speaking in metaphor, riddle or literally.

Please keep the comments and dreams coming.

Blessings,

Denise

Regarding A Few Posts from Readers…

Hi I got one comment from JoJo who was mad at me for talking to much about other things like religion. Oh, well, in my opinion all things are related and I like to push the envelope in regards to our assumptions about religion especially because it is often used as a crutch to do horrible things. It is also something most people are afraid to examine because of the “FEAR OF GOD!” which is a terrible ridiculous idea. One that serves organized religion well, keeps their 10% coming in and people’s minds shut off from having a relationship with God which is very sad.

Religion is also so often used to destroy others with, to invade countries, to feel righteous – all very bad things that lead to suffering and are the antithesis of spirituality. I think it’s sort of funny that people want me to just be a psychic and predict things. Where do these people think I get my information? I was given the gift because I have spent most of my lifetimes trained in different religious traditions. If anyone spends the vast majority of even one lifetime meditating and doing trance work they will get psychic information. I have memories of my past lives and believe me I earned these abilities both in other lifetimes and in the circumstances of this lifetime.

In this lifetime I have been trained in a religious tradition and have a ministerial credential. I have performed quite a few marriages in my years. It’s a strange idea that some people separate spirituality from psychic ability. It is impossible to have the “gift” and not connect with spirits, inter-dimensional beings (angels, fairies, guides, the higher self or whatever one wants to call it) and have flashes of God/Goddess’s love. Being a psychic is a modern form of shamanism. And shamans are in direct connection with the divine. Seriously, where else would the info come from? I guess that’s why some super right wing Christians think psychics are in league with the devil because their preachers tell them they are the only ones who can spread the TRUTH, while they misquote and misunderstood the bible (mostly Christ’s message, they seem to do well with the damnation part aka the Old Testament aka the Torah which isn’t supposed to be the Christian part but I guess I’m just getting fussy) and it’s perfectly fine to be like a lame parent and “Do as I say not as I do,” for many of these leaders, being major hypocrites (to say the least in many cases). Many of these “preachers” have the energy of a used car salesman on meth like Ted Haggard. Jeez, way before he came out he seemed strung out on coke and I would have better the deed to my house that he was getting some man action. Not that there would be anything wrong with him being gay or even having drug problems if he wasn’t running around damning everyone else to hell for having the same problems. It’s just disgusting the things these people do in the name of religion. They are so hateful to gay people and people with drug problems or any sort of problems which is so NOT CHRISTIAN! I know there are many really great Christan people who follow the words of Christ and who are loving and kind and pure. I wish they would speak up against these nut-jobbers who seem to be using the religion to just get rich and take advantage of people by dignifying the lowest human traits like racism, anger, hatred, war mongering, fear, etc. and find these bizarre ways to elevate this low level behavior to a spiritual club (this behavior is anything but spiritual or God-like unless one’s conception of God is that he’s a jealous, evil, mean-spirited, blood thirsty father figure who likes to create people to have sexual desire only to punish them for it, talk about Sadistic!) Christ said things like “He who is without sin cast the first stone, love thy neighbor as thyself, etc.” I mean we all know his teachings, they were not my Dad in heaven’s gonna kick your ass with his oozy if you don’t do what I say!

And anyone can be psychic if they want to spend a few lifetimes meditating and praying all the time. Or even if they want to devote  a big chunk of this life to knowing and understanding God/Goddess through meditation and trance work.

In modern organized religions God is often so formalized, intellectualized and distant that many priests and preachers don’t get to actually experience God directly but rather go through the prescription of the bible or other holy books. I have met priests and nuns who have a beatific quality, it’s obvious they are very connected to Spirit (most Buddhist monks and nuns are like this, they spend the vast majority of their time meditating). But western religions are not big on shamanistic practices or on forging ones own connection to the divine, but rather we are taught to blindly believe the bible and those religious figures who teach it. History has proven this to be problematic from the burning times of Europe when 25% of all women were murdered to our current crisis of Christian Crusaders blowing up abortion clinics, terrorizing doctors and building Mega Churches with our tax dollars for the military so they can get pumped up in their fight against Muslim extremists. Does anyone see the problem here? I’m sure 99.9% of you do.

So for those who don’t like the theological side of me, well, I’ll just have to say I’m given information by a greater force than myself and that includes where my spiritual beliefs come from, they come from a lifetime of connecting and praying, meditating and giving myself over to the Great Spirit to channel the truth. If it doesn’t jive with a book written more than 2,000 years ago, oh, well. And if it you’ve meditated on your own connection and what I say doesn’t feel right to you, I completely respect that as we all have our own spiritual paths. But the one thing I will never respect is paying someone else to do your spiritual work for you because not only does it not work, it actually causes spiritual devolvement. It is the most dangerous thing about organized religion which is why, ironically, I have more in common with most atheists and agnostics, in this regard, than I do people who blindly follow a specific faith without using their own higher self to guide them on that path.

All religions are the truth. It’s just the truth is buried inside the faith, and one must do the digging on his or her own to progress down the path. This is because religions become like a millennium long game of telephone, and by the time the information is given to you via multiple interpretations of the scriptures and political events that color or even edit either the meaning/tone or actual information in the scripture. Try reading all the different versions of the bible. Now imagine all those versions came from early translations that were translated from early translations that were passed down through oral tradition for thousands of years. As you can see the truth soon becomes a needle inside hundreds of tangled haystacks. Many of these haystacks manipulated (say sprayed different colors or covered in chemicals or whatever) by the culture and those in power at different points in history. The only way to find that needle is to close your eyes, meditate upon it and plug into the part of you that is one with God. If you do, you walk right through all the thousands of haystacks, right to the center of the one that has the needle inside it, as if it was never lost.

Many Blessings,

Denise

Oh, and to John who posted about Lincoln,

I’m from Illinois so I’m sure I didn’t get the whole story of Lincoln. I don’t know enough so I can’t argue with your information. I’m sure he was corrupt in some ways. But he did end slavery and that took some pretty big balls.

I had heard someone in passing say he was racist, but I think everyone was back then. People were segregated and whites had no real contact with African Americans and those who did would have had contact with either slaves or extremely poor and/or undereducated African Americans thus adding to people’s stupid assumptions.

The moral argument against slavery wasn’t that they believed in the equality of the African Americans, it was about the immorality of slavery itself. I think it’s a bit much to believe anyone back then was really that advanced in regards to their understanding of race or gender. I’m sure Lincoln was a total sexist, too. As the vast majority (99.99999999%)  would have been because it was the culture they were raised in where women and minorities were not given the same opportunities and of course if you limit people then they can’t help but live up to their culture’s limited expectations. It is only the rare few that are able to rise and then they are considered the “exceptions.”

There’s always a way for people to protect their ignorance. I thank you for your information about Lincoln. I’ll have to do more research about him.

Back to Astrology & More…

Again sorry posts have been patchy, my whole family has been sick with a cold, that’s what happens when you have a little one. Anyway, just wanted to update everyone on some stuff. First I’ll give some background so all of what I’m about to write makes sense. When I was in my early 20s working as a psychic I met another psychic who was interested in channeling. She somehow got me to try it and I ended up contacting and communing with a being who called itself Zoma. I just want to remind everyone here that I was not raised in any religious tradition except for a minor stint with Catholicisms shortly after my father died (he was Jewish.) My father was also 24 years older than my mother and most of his family was dead by the time I was born. My first cousins are literally twice as old as I am but anyway I digress…

So it turned out Zoma was very accurate (this is where I got my wordpress handle as you can see) remarkably so. Zoma could answer just about any question directly with specific and very detailed information. There were two occasions I remember most because I ended up discussing them with the querants later which didn’t always happen. Most often the information was written down by another psychic and if told an hour later about what had occurred I couldn’t remember much about it. It wasn’t as if I was in a full trance, but a semi-trance where I was able to interact with Zoma and ask questions in my mind, Zoma would then give the information through me, telling me the things to say. One of the two instances that stuck with me was a woman who had a lot of emotional troubles, she asked Zoma if she had experienced a violent crime. Zoma answered yes, described the area, gave the proximity of the town it took place in to her home and the name of the street it took place on. I remember this because the woman despite the accuracy of the information (which she verified) still wasn’t sure as she had blocked the incident out of her conscious mind. The second was a question about Atlantis from a fellow psychic (a subject I knew nothing about and had no interest in). The psychic asked where Atlantis had been and Zoma gave a location and the name of a ruler. She subsequently did research and found this ruler referred to in an ancient text and reference to the exact area Zoma had claimed Atlantis had been in the same text. That blew me away not only because I had no idea about the subject, but the name of the ruler was very odd and complicated which Zoma correctly identified.

OK, fast forward to the internet – the Zoma sessions were done in the early 90s before the Internet was accessible to anyone outside academia. I decided to look up Zoma and up came information about an ancient Jewish scholar/philosopher named Ben Zoma in the second century.  I thought that was very strange as he (from what I could tell was pretty obscure) and I had of course never heard of him, but again the genetic or Jungian idea of the ancestral memory thing came to mind.

To make a long story shorter I have decided to begin working with Zoma again after many years, not because of Zoma, but because the group of psychics I was teaching to channel began to try and make me into some kind of “spiritual leader” which I am morally opposed to for a variety of reasons. It’s my feeling we all have the answers inside of us if we listen close enough, people can teach people things, but it then becomes the job of the student to take up the mantel and find their own path. I do not like deification or being put in the position of power or responsibility that someone with that title inccures, so I backed away from it. I also was something like 23 years old and not ready to take on anything close to that. I also saw some of the people I had taught abuse their power by lying about what Zoma was saying to control other people and get them to do things they wanted them to do and although it was mostly inoquous, it made me very upset and crossed a line I couldn’t be part of.

So recently I have enlisted Zoma’s help to redefine the astrological system which I feel is in need o an overhaul as many things are no longer timing out and I can feel we are in the midst of a paradigm shift. I believe this is why all the new planets have been discovered and rather than hodge podging it together I’m trying to see if there is a deeper and more meaningful way of getting to all the new astronomical data and its application to us here on earth. At some point I may ask you to participate in my research and subsequently you will receive a free reading via the blog. It will of course all be private and your identity hidden. If you are interested I will make an announcement in the next few months for those of you who wish to participate, so look for that. I will need feedback to help tweak the system, so those who participate will play a vital role in the creation of this new system of divination.

I want also to qualify that I am not New Age and my interaction with Zoma comes from a much older tradition of shamanism. My earliest training was in the ancient shamanistic practices of the Celts and their interaction with other dimensional beings known as the Sidhe or as the Faery people. I was trained in my late teens by a High Priestess who came from that tradition and later worked with a man who was trained in “High Magic” in the tradition of the ancient Sumerians mixed with study of the kabbalah and rituals of the Goetia. My teacher was into talking to demons on occasion, but I personally was not, and only participated in angelic and Enochian invocations. I have never engaged in harming, binding, hurting, manipulating or impressing my will upon others through magic – this in my opinion is the definition of what is termed “black magic.” I only engage in discourses and getting information. healing (if the injured wants the help) and self-improvement through my personal connection with the divine.  Having clear and distinct moral boundaries when dealing with supernatural power is essential to keeping sane and free of negative karma.

Many blessings,

Denise

Answering Readers…

The first question comes from Dera:

DERA

Do you see a solution to the problems with the Mexican Drug cartels waging a war on the govt of Mexico City? I am so concerned about the people there and is legalizing drugs the answer?

Hi Dera,

My intuition tells me that the US will try to intervene in keeping the drug cartels under control, but won’t have a lot of success. The violence will continue to escalate until the people of Mexico are forced to have a kind of civil war against the drug lords. There are similarities to Chicago during the 1920s, but of course in Mexico it is even more extreme and violent. The mix of psychopaths, illegal drugs and corruption within the government all contribute  and it feels like it is escalating to the doorstep of genocide. I don’t feel this is going to get better soon, actually I feel it will get much worse. I only hope I’m wrong about this.

Oddly, I don’t feel the answer to this problem is to just legalize drugs because there is such a strong network of organized crime and corruption that it would be substituted with something perhaps even worse like sexual slavery, prostitution of children, etc. This network must be destroyed first and the government replaced with one truly vested in the good of all the people not just their own pocket books. I’m not saying everyone in the Mexican government/police/military fit into this category, but there are enough that do to make the good people ineffective. 

Eventually, those within the government who are not corrupt will have to build an army out of the ashes of those who have been devastated by the drug lords. Together, the people will have to fight this cancer overtaking their country or it will end up war torn and could lead to mass genocide as these psychopaths gain power and control.

The more violence these drug lords perpetrate the more they become sick with a mad cow-like disease eating away at their souls with each act leaving them nothing but empty shells feeding on destruction. This is the disease of war. It is what is happening in Darfur, what happened in Rowanda, what happened to ordinary people who became Nazis. This sickness is born from violence against our fellow brothers and sisters. It is the sickness that begets war and makes people do horrible things they would never believed themselves capable of. It can also infect ordinary people after seeing ones family slaughtered or child mutilated. It is the darkest side of Kali, the crazed destroyer. It is chaos, insanity, absolute coldness. I wish I could say inhuman, but this darkness is a part of the human condition, the shadow side. In normal healthy people we feel it rear up, but repress it with rationality, empathy and compassion. When all those things are gone there is no controlling it.

This is a very scary situation. I wish there was an easier answer.

I was watching two evangelists speaking with Rachel Maddow a couple of nights ago. They were explainging how socialism would usher in peace which was the prerequisite for the advent of the anti-christ’s arrival. They said Obama wasn’t the Anti christ because he wasnt popular enough but that his policies were setting the stage for his appearance. Huh? They are admitting that they would prefer people to go hungry and wage war so they can stop the antichrist. Who is the person(s) who have managed to pervert Christian principles so successfully? I also found it interesting that their segment coincided with James Dobson’s resignation from Focus on the Family. I respect religious differences and I embrace all spiritual expression but how is this evangelical dogma different from jihadist extremism? Any thoughts on the future of these people’s influence in American politics? Thanks.

Hi Hope and a Plan,

I’ve lost count of how many anti-christs there are, and have been. Nostradameus had at least 3. These dudes have had one pretty much every time there’s someone who wasn’t pro lining their pockets with gold. Sure, socialism is going to bring the anti-christ, that makes a lot of sense, I guess he must be living in Sweden or Norway, or maybe Denmark? Oh, I know perhaps Canada where they have “socialized” medicine.

We all know how Jesus was a TOTAL CAPITALIST! Whew, he just loved him some money and really didn’t want anyone helping out their neighbor or loving others. He taught anti-compassion and letting people starve to prove a point and loved war if it made him some dough. Oh, yeah, wait that’s those guys! I guess they must be the anti-christs because they are anti-everything Christ stood for. Besides I thought they wanted the anti-christ to come, so the big space ship in the sky could come and suck them up and they could be one of the chosen people to live forever in their decrept sack of rotting bone bodies. I mean come on, this is some insane crap. It really is just insane. 

Let’s look at the reality of this proposition. There’s this crazy, angry, jealous God who sends down his only son (something Jesus never said but hey, the Romans needed to make him into a living God so they could sell the religion) to save humanity from the original sin of Eve “eating of the fruit of knowledge” and thereby cursing all of us due to her mistake. Wow, that’s a very insecure God. He doesn’t even want us to have knowledge in case we might figure out he wasn’t all that, I guess. So Jesus removes this original sin if you believe in him, OK, then you die and go to heaven. Kind of, then your body rots in the ground until “Judgement Day” when Christ returns (after the anti-christ) and everyone is brought back to life forever. It’s not quite clear if we all are just animated skeletons or if we get back our old bodies and if so, what period are we talking, when we were really old, at the time of death, or do we get to pick our favorite period?

Here’s a question, after spending all that time in heaven (the other afterlife story) with angels, God, and living in perfect peace, why would you want your rotted out old body to be re-animated so you could live on earth forever? Heaven sounds like a much better deal to me. 

It’s all about fear and control. I’m sure that the crazy jihadists believe just as strongly in their book of stories as the crazy Christian zealots believe in their stories. But here’s something that neither side seem to understand, these are stories meant to illustrate ideas, greater ideas, spiritual ideas that are not easy to explain in common language, and are often beyond our understanding which is why they are never literal. The bible conflicts with itself pretty much on every count. In Genesis God first refers to himself as We, then as an I, he makes everything at once, then in 7 days. I remember studying the book of Genesis in high school and thinking how bizarrely contradictory it was. And wondered why no one ever addressed this.

Ultimately, all spiritual paths and all religions (by virtue of them being related to people’s spiritual paths on occasion) are not straight forward, black and white, easy to understand, direct, concrete or literal in any way at all. The language of the spirit is poetry, visions, flashes of understanding, connection, compassion, intuition, symbolism. There is nothing simple about it and absolutely nothing literal, which is why zealots who see everything as literal are insane and truly waste their lives looking at the multiverse through a keyhole, randomly assigning roles to whatever they see based on the book they have in their hand.

It is absolute blindness.

I don’t think one could even begin to name how many zealots have lived in the history of the human race, yelling that the end was near, blah, blah, blah. But when it comes to these people actually really doing something about evil, like calling out the government of Darfur, calling Omar Bashir the anti-christ or at least an anti-christ, they won’t because what happens in Africa stays in Africa. The world to these people is the US and maybe Europe? But everyone on the planet could die off because of someone like Bashir and things would be peachy. These types weren’t calling Hitler the anti-christ either. Whys that?

Cause they reserve their hate speech to use as scare tactics to get people away from helping out others, because they don’t care about anything but their pocket books, their place in society and their power. And if it doesn’t effect them personally then it isn’t important.

So let’s get real about these a-holes. They are not spiritual, they are not Christian, they are not anything but shysters. 

OK and these questions tomorrow, and I’ll go back further over the week and answer earlier questions as well:

Hi Denise Here’s something that might be of interest to all. For so long now we’ve watched small businesses get run over by large corporations and big box stores. It’s been hard to keep small individual businesses (i.e. mom-and-pop stores, etc.) from going bankrupt. I feel that once we get past the next couple of years and the economy begins to grow again, there will be opportunities for individuals and small companies to grow again. Especially since so many have closed up in the last few years. Right now everyone seems to shop at Walmart and Costco, etc. just to save as much as possible, but I think that when times get better people may want a more personal touch in their shopping. Would you ask the cards if an expansion of entrepreneurship is coming in the new economy. I would hate to think that we’re stuck with the Walmarts for the future. Use this recession time to prepare for what you want to do in the future. Lay the groundwork, so to speak. Thanks.

Hi Denise, I have a feeling that the US Dollar will start sliding heavily after sept 2009. How do you see the USD playing over the next 5 years?. How will the strength/weakness in USD effect the housing prices in the country? Do you see housing prices becoming affordable and in line with rents again?

 

Best wishes and many blessings to all you good people,

Denise
