As your favorite Thelemic Astrologer and Psychic, I feel it’s important to explain the meaning (and intensity) of the upcoming planetary motion known as Pluto Retrograde, and how you may be deeply affected by it.

Pluto Goes Retrograde: Pluto will go Retrograde Saturday, March 31st, 2007 at 3:45 pm (PST), at 28:57 Degrees Sagittarius. It go Direct again on September 7, 2007 at 7:54 pm (PST) at 26:18 Degrees Sagittarius.

Personal Effects: How Pluto Retrograde will effect you will be based upon your personal Astrological profile, such as where Pluto and Sagittarius are placed in your Chart. If you’d like more detailed, personal info, you should order your Astro Chart to find out. Then, you can feel free to call my weekly Radio Show so we can discuss how you’ll be affected by this powerful transit. (If you already have your Astro Chart, then feel free to call me on my show, or post your questions in my Magickal Forum.)

About Pluto: Pluto is the ruling planet the Zodiac sign of Scorpio. As such, it presides over the 8th House and governs issues regarding Sex, Legacies, Death (physical, and/or spiritual), and the attendant Transformations that occur as a result.

Meaning of the Term “Retrograde”: When a planet is termed, “retrograde”, it means that it appears to be going backward in the constellations of the heavens, due to an optical illusion. This illusion is based upon the fact that planets further away from the Sun appear to be moving more slowly in their orbits, than those planets which are closer in proximity to the Sun. Therefore, such planets appear to be moving “backwards”.

Pluto Retrograde: Since Pluto rules the ideas of Death, Sex, Legacies, Taxes and Transformation, get ready for your life to change in a big way. Whether or not the change or transformation is pleasant or positive, is largely up to you and how ready you are to evolve as a spiritual being.

Yes, there is a physical aspect to the idea of “death”, wherever Pluto is involved, but just remember we are all just visiting the Earth plane, aren’t we?

Preparing For Pluto Retrograde: Imagine this astrological event as a large wave approaching you from the sea. Take a deep breath, and stay calm. Don’t allow yourself to fear what is inevitable. If you lose control, or try to resist the necessary changes, you will only make it harder on yourself. Remember — growing pains may hurt, but they also make you stronger. Time to read a little Nietzsche.

No matter how prepared you may feel, the changes you will now undergo may still seem rather sudden — but that’s just not true. The changes you experience during this aspect have been a long time coming if you’re really honest with yourself.

Anxiety and Separation Issues: Whomever, or whatever exits your life while Pluto is retrograde, has most likely been on the way out for up to two years (or more), whether or not you have recognized the fact. Think about it.

Out of Control: Okay, so you’re evolved, spiritual and well-balanced, possibly. You are a magickal being, living your True Will, and recognize your patterns and behavior. But, you may still have a hard time reigning yourself in and keeping it together when Pluto is retrograde. Nobody said it was going to be easy, but again, just sit back and try to go with the current.

Magickal Manifestation: Remember, that Pluto Retrograde is the ultimate test of what you have magickally invoked into your life (whether or not it was conscious or subconscious!)

Spiritual Evolution and The Book of the Law: The cosmic lessons of Pluto Retrograde are best exemplified (in my mind at least), by certain verses found in The Book of the Law (Liber Al vel Legis, Sub Figura CCXX, Chapter III), as channeled by Aleister Crowley by the Angel named Aiwass:

Liber Liber Al vel Legis, Chapter III, Verses 42-45:

“42. The ordeals thou shalt oversee thyself, save only the blind ones. Refuse none, but thou shalt know & destroy the traitors. I am Ra-Hoor-Khuit; and I am powerful to protect my servant. Success is thy proof: argue not; convert not; talk not over much! Them that seek to entrap thee, to overthrow thee, them attack without pity or quarter; & destroy them utterly. Swift as a trodden serpent turn and strike! Be thou yet deadlier than he! Drag down their souls to awful torment: laugh at their fear: spit upon them!

43. Let the Scarlet Woman beware! If pity and compassion and tenderness visit her heart; if she leave my work to toy with old sweetnesses; then shall my vengeance be known. I will slay me her child: I will alienate her heart: I will cast her out from men: as a shrinking and despised harlot shall she crawl through dusk wet streets, and die cold and an-hungered.

44. But let her raise herself in pride! Let her follow me in my way! Let her work the work of wickedness! Let her kill her heart! Let her be loud and adulterous! Let her be covered with jewels, and rich garments, and let her be shameless before all men!

45. Then will I lift her to pinnacles of power: then will I breed from her a child mightier than all the kings of the earth. I will fill her with joy: with my force shall she see & strike at the worship of Nu: she shall achieve Hadit.”

Don’t be afraid to let go — Nature will fill the void, so don’t attempt to hang onto people, places, habits, objects or situations that are “dead”. You may still be attached to certain things, but Pluto Retrograde says, “It’s time to grow up now.”

The Reward of Evolution: If you get through this aspect with a good attitude, you’re liable to find out that the worst thing was that you might wished you had simply changed sooner! You’ll most likely enjoy what the future has in store for you!

Spiritual Discipline: Dedicate yourself to remaining open at this time. If you’re a Christian, develop Faith — if you’re a Thelemite or Pagan, develop Faith in the God of Your Self. It’s time to claim your power!

Success Is Thy Proof: Don’t be afraid — you can make it through that “Ordeal X”, as Aiwass referred to such tribulations. When all is said and done, remember — “Success is thy proof.” Now get out there and kick some spiritual ass … your own!

In a new article posted on his official website, Marilyn Manson has begun giving interviews to discuss his new album, Eat Me, Drink Me.

The album, slated for a June 2007 release, is Manson’s newest musical sacrifice and contains songs with such titles as: If I Was Your Vampire, Just A Car Crash Away, The Red Carpet Grave, You, Me and the Devil Makes 3, and Putting Holes in Happiness, with the last song being the first single planned for release.

Manson’s Abysmal Year: Marilyn claims that 2006 was one of the worst years of his life. The singer opened his dark heart, admitting:

“Halfway through last year I was in such a black hole of depression,” he says. “I couldn’t make anything, I couldn’t do anything. I lost hope.”

Between Manson’s marital break-up with burlesque queen, Dita Von Teese, and his mother being diagnosed with mental illness, he was left emotionally drained.

For more, read the complete article on Manson’s website, and keep a lookout for his new album, which promises to be the artist’s best yet.

Voxx Astrological Info: Apparently, Saturn’s transit over Manson’s First House Ascendant, really put the singer through hell. For students of Astrology and the Occult, I’ve provided you with Marilyn Manson’s Astrology Chart.

About Bael: Bael, is the first Principal Spirit mentioned in the The Lemegeton, (aka The Lemegeton, and The Lesser Key of Solomon). He is a mighty and powerful King who rules in the East. Bael’s original name was Bel, (and according to some, Bal.) Bel was first known as the most ancient God of the Babylonians. Interesting how gods are denounced by “newer” religions, and always vilified later as “demons”.

Qabalistic Attributions: Bael is associated with the tarot card, The Two of Wands, and the Astrological Planetary attribution of Mars in Aries.

Bael’s Appearance: When properly evoked, Bael will appear in any of several diverse shapes, such as: A Cat, a Toad, or a Man — sometimes he even appears in the shape of all three at the same time! When and if he deems to communicate with the Magician (usually via the Psychic faculty of Clairaudience), his voice will sound hoarse and scratchy.

If you should ever be desirous of evoking Bael, you should wear his Lamen (spirit sigil), before calling upon him, (as with all the Goetia Spirits, in general).

Powers of Bael: Bael is primarily known for bestowing the dubious gift of “invisibility”. This can be advantageous in certain circumstances, however the Magician needs to be especially careful. I have personally known Magicians who have suffered accidents due to the fact that they were “invisible” to an on-coming car! Proceed with caution.

Advice to the Magician: Before dealing with Bael (or any spirit possessing the noble title of King), I would suggest you ensure that you’ve already performed quite a few other evocations properly. It’s bad enough to make a mistake when dealing with a less powerful spirit, and the “Big Boys” of the Goetia have reportedly made mincemeat out of many an untrained Magician.

Goetia Magick Classes: If you’d like formal instruction on how to work safely and sanely with the Goetia Spirits, feel free to contact me for further info.

Goetia Magick Spellkits & Store: To safely conjure a Goetia Spirit, you should purchase an authentic Goetia Magick Spellkit. There are 72 kits to choose from (one for each of the 72 Spirits), and each one comes with everything you need to perform a successful evocation, plus detailed instructions. There are three versions to choose from, so contact me for more info.

May you all have a wonderful holiday! Here’s to the New Zodiacal Year, 2007. It’s time to celebrate the true arrival of Spring.

Astrologically, the Sun is at Zero Degrees in the First Sign of the Zodiac, Aries.

Happy Birthday to all my Aries friends. It’s a good time to get a Psychic Reading, or get your new Chart for the upcoming Solar Year.

The Birth of Spring: It’s the time of year to fall in love, a time of passion, renewal and birth! I’m always reminded of the mischievous play of the Great God Pan, chasing after the lovely nymphs in the budding woods. Allow yourself to run free, laugh and celebrate this most magickal time of the year.

Candlemagick: If you’d like to do some Candlemagick tonight, remember to burn a White or Red Candle for luck during the Waxing Moon at this time, it will bring success, energy and luck to all you do! Sign up for a Magick Class on this site, if you’d like to learn about more.
