The Transit Of Venus
Yes, the Ancient Mayans loved this sort of thing. Yes, Captain Cook whatever. Yes, astronomers are tremendously excited about the Transit of Venus. Usually it’s the opposite situation. Astrologers are all enthused over something that astronomers barely even rate. But really, I am not seeing the Transit of Venus as the main astro-game in town, I’m just not.
That would be, i.m.o, the Zap Zone a.k.a Uranus Square Pluto. Note I’ve given the Zap Zone a page of its own now, above.
But it’s interesting that the Transit of Venus is happening in the middle degrees of Gemini – it’s the highlight of the Venus Retro cycle from April to August – and the very same degrees will have Jupiter going back and forth over them for a year from mid-June. So this is more something being seeded; a new attitude, a new art concept, a new romance. Yes, any romance that springs up between April & August is most likely karmic. Llike you met them in Byzantine times or whatever – see the How Did I Know X In A Past Life Oracle question. But this phase is JUST as likely to involve some of those o.m.g. break-ups or the release of an addiction as it is some sooky goo-goo soulmating.
Sorry for the rambling nature of this – a beyond-Gale-Force storm of Plutonic proportions has just hit and – ironically – the Scorpio Sex Academic just texted to say that she has been making out with an Aries Astro-Physicist on the beach in Maui…It’s strange astro. Venusian Voodoo is hard to call.
How are you guys doing with it?
The Libra showed up right on karmic cue, but the Oracle insists we have no past life connection. He’s been refreshing, though. The Sagg is so….Sagg. The Libra is into beauty and conversation with substance. Though the Sagg just offered to buy me a farm.
send me that Sadge!
You’re welcome to borrow him.
The Sagg is my long-term relationship, the Libra looks like becoming a great friend after he understands there’s no permanent romantic relationship. The Sagg is: Food. Let’s eat. With our fingers. Where the Libra worries if the sauce will be right at the restaurant he’s chosen as a labor of love and perfection. The Libras I’ve known are attached to their families in what I consider is bordering on co-dependency. The Sagg and I value space and independence. My latest Victorian self-sufficiency plan is what sparked the farm offer. I said I wanted to raise chickens (for eggs) and he immediately said he’d chop their heads off for stewing. (The Libran would have been thinking of proper herbs to go with an omelette.) And then said we could pluck them together. All this Sagg earthiness may be realistic in self-sufficient food production, but I’ll just gather eggs and pat the chickens, ok? Our relationship is fluid since there are obvious gaps between us and allowing others to fill some of the spaces is fine. But you were probably hoping for a farm, not a part-time Sagg, though he is a lot of fun.
Gorgeous day… stopped a 20 year addiction a week ago… Sun was shininh w love today, creativity just gets more and more exciting, I thought for sure it was Venus in the light! Love it!
Ending that addiction … cool!!!
Same here. Have tried many times but this is completely different… it’s gone. “Released and no longer needed” is the only way I can describe it. It has been an amazing “guru” of sorts (not all gurus are charismatic hippy type dudes yes?) and I’ve learned a great deal…. but the lessons are complete and I can move to a higher level of consciousness now. Amazing times we’re living in.
How am I doing?? I’m posting on the wrong thread, just saw this – right after I blitzed what is now a glaringly obvious Transit of Venus vis a vis Zap Zone Extravaganza, excerpted below about
“The “date” which was actually a massage appointment. – well, very prophetically became a date and I know somewhere in the realm of my personal mysteries, this really wasn’t one of them as I’d wanted my therapist literally the minute I clapped eyes on him back in early May. I just didn’t know he’d want me back..kind of. And who in Hades knows (I checked) where this is going to go because he’s a Cancer Rising Leo who’s eerily psychic and well, just a tiny bit crazed. You know?
He’d warned me that in heated moments he might slip and say I love you, I was appalled and told him not to do that, ever. So we fell asleep into innocent cuddling instead, during which he woke me up to tell me precisely that. And worse, I said it back – because I’m probably just as certifiable as he is. Then went back to ye olde slumber. Maybe, just maybe this is the Eclipse Speaking in Tongues?”
I guess it’s a Party now? And how right on the money is this, because La Leo has also battled serious addictions so of course, cue the Chironic occupation.
I don’t know, it’s doing my head in as have been quite adept at keeping my heart beautifully unfettered thus far. Back in early May (the 4th to be exact), I’d tripped in late for my appointment as I couldn’t find the infernal office so I was flustered and rushing in. The receptionist announced him just as he opened the door and I’m pretty sure I went deaf for a moment, then got busy wondering how I’d manage my dignity unclothed when all I could think of was I want.
So yes, whatever the frack Past Life Period that came from, whether by ether or bifrost, it’s giving me a temperature. Literally.
I realize very lucidly that a karmic connection doesn’t necessarily translate into a relationship, but please please please Oh Goddess of Love, let this have some semblance of sanity. Gah!
Great description of your new love introduction. Best wishes that it stays and keeps you uplifted. It is a great feeling!
interesting time for you FA,
FA, I so much wish for you to be happy and blessed with an interesting, fabulous man!
I forgot to add hot and mad about you!
*clapping in a happy, happy, joy, joy manner for fa*
Speaking in tongues!!!! love!
Auuuw thanks Officially Beautiful Peeps..the truth is there are any number of obstacles (yes, already) – for instance the fact that he isn’t looking for a GF, or that he recently fell for someone else but realized it would go nowhere. Granted he told me these things when it wasn’t quite clear our little ship was sailing this way but still.. I don’t think I was really part of The Plan.
And for my part, I wasn’t planning anything either. Save for following my instincts about the whole thing.. so yes, hopes and wishes abound (fears too).
It is, I admit, maddening to hold it loosely while feeling fevered. I suspect we’re both just getting on with our respective lives trying to ignore it, or at least I am till I get more input in him. Of course, in yet another bizarre twist, it also turns out he went to massage school with one of my best friends (the Scorp Rising Cancer)…who had only good things to say about him.
So interesting times.. yes, indeed.
I am trying not to judge anything and live in the spirit of “negative capability”. Hope, as we all know darlings, can very well heal and hurt by the same stroke. Le sigh..
Oh FA, I’m in this mode, everything you wrote rang true this end. The certifiable behaviour, not quite ‘I love you’ after 5 minutes but ‘lets buy a house’, ‘lets have baby’, ‘lets go on holiday’ kind of mind effing and I find myself saying yes to all of it even though I know it’s insane/a fantasy/totally weird and out of character.
Sending you hope!
hahah. I am in the same boat. but less freaked I’m always down for a ride somewhere x
Yes! I know Charley. In fact, after my having gone on a bit on how I don’t think using a “disclaimer” for issuing heated in the moment I love yous is NOT a good enough reason to do so given the emotional charge of such words, apparently my barely awake self is not of the same opinion.
I was about to give myself a hard time but then I wondered about the balm of illusion. Maybe it was okay to say given the so many conditions and codicils I’m only too well aware of before I’d ever actually purposely utter those words again to a lover (with the possibility of “never” looming quite prominently). Are La Leo and I the same in this mutual loss of hope that we’ve consigned ourselves to indulging the moment, knowing it is just that? Maybe.
Maybe it’s practice. Maybe if you say it enough times it becomes a little more possible.. I’m not sure. But it was without design or intent or purpose, so I guess like you, I will just have to wait and see. Hopefully, something beautiful. Hugs babe. xx
Dear FA,
My heart is smiling and a fluttering for you,
kick arse baby !
xx
Awesome! And can I say how odd it is that your story parallels my latest (& current) love affair so much? I, too, wanted my massage therapist at first site…he was working at my gym and my trainer introduced me to him and pushed me to get a massage. I scheduled one but was questioning my judgment in getting one from someone I knew i wanted!
Got the massage, then took a risk and asked him out via text the same night. He had some back & forth debate about it, then we ended up meeting for coffee, which turned into brunch, and a hike.
9 months later we’re madly in love and living together.
He’s also a Cancer rising and eerily psychic, but a Libra. Talked about eloping after a week, but then was funny about saying “i love you” until he did, and now he won’t stop saying it!
Enjoy your Leo…hope it turns out for the best. You just never know!
btw, I’m Gem and my Venus/Mars are on his ascendant. Our attraction is unreal and never seems to end!
I’ve never placed much on the words only the actions myself. Love is love, there is a million different varieties. I am in similar boat of new and totally OTT in many ways but it’s nothing to fear in my eyes as long as the reality of the new and the reality of possible sans planning and what is to invest backs up the words. Who would not fall for you in a heartbeat anyway??x
Guys, you are awesome as ever. I needed to hear that. Look, we all know I’m MORE than a touch road worn, and wearing it lightly is easier when one isn’t being deeply magnetized by desire, you know?
I’ve pestered the Oracle so much about this, I’m pretty sure it’d spit at me if it could. And I agree, love is beyond words. I’m not so much hung up on that as struck by how, through his own self-aware romanticism, he’d managed to trip into that dark and secret garden where I keep my own love tender notions afloat and alive – albeit always happily untouched.
That he did that was inadvertent, and I’m sure there are seven ways to Sunday to look at this. Right now, I can’t do anything but wait and frankly, it’s killing me softly. So thank you for your beautiful encouragements darlings, I hope so too.
xx
Mine kinda presented itself vis a vis relationship addiction – I realised not only do I not need a relationship to be happy. I’m actually far happier being single.
I never knew this! … there I was wandering the planet for donkeys years under the false assumption that Mr Soulmate had to lob onto the scene before I could really have a “proper” life. Only to discover that I actually don’t have the temperament or the tolerance for such immutable forms of pair ponding.
Always wondered what that saggo moon in the 7th house was about – now I know!
I feel the same way – Moon in Saggo in 11th square Uranus and an empty 7th house. I’ve never even lived with a partner.
I’ve stopped dreaming, wishing and hoping for someone to come along. It’s been 14 years since my last “serious” relationship and that only lasted 18mths… May as well be chasing a rainbow coloured unicorn!! Meh.
I’m getting this too….
Partial Lunar eclipse on my Venus Moon conjunction and the rising Venus transit happening in opposition to it is unravelling my similar idea that ‘someone out there’ is where my love is. I’m grokking this on a deep and clear level.
One liner of this transit for me is
“The beloved you seek is not out there in a body”
that line hit me like a Truth gun – instant reprogram.
Cool story!
Yes – met my gorgeous Libra sun/Virgo moon/Taurus rising (with his Leo mars conj my sun) 8 weeks ago. Instant attraction/connection. Surreal getting to know u but we have now moved cities together. Waited for first night, omg it was worth it. All we have in our new apartment is a brand new bed and outdoor setting to take in the views from the 23rd floor. Mystic said Neptunetransit to my Asc would bring a soulmaty type relationship. It’s beyond my wildest dreams. He’s 32, hot, a surfer with amazing eyes, but it’s like we’ve been waiting for each other half our lives. Bonus, my kids adore him.
Oh and astrowise, I’m Gem Venus in the 4th house ?
awesome. good to see you back FF
Great news ff! Like your new gravatar, though are you still pulling that rock?
Lovely to read your good news, fluidfeline, may happiness and love surround both of you.
I have been wondering how you were! Glad things are well!
How lovely for you Fluid darkling! I’m so happy to see you thriving with a proper consort and partner, it was about time! xx
Beautiful News Fluid,
Over the Moon for you babe. xx
My Moon in Scorpio 18 year old daughter stormed out of the house last week and went to live with her father. She is refusing to talk to me until I “get help with my psychological problems”. Her Sun in Taurus is gonna be stubborn. I might not hear from her for awhile. And here I was thinking we were having a lovely calm time together. One of us is clearly delusional and it wasn’t me seeing little green monsters last year and it’s not me who her father thinks is crazy. We are a bit cat and dog, she and I. I have Moon in Aquarius so you can imagine the clash. She has Saturn in Pisces in the first house, does that mean her imagination could run away with her? The last time Venus went retrograde in 2004 I broke up with the guy who I thought at the time was the love of my life. Here I was thinking I was safe from heartbreak because I have remained single since and then I go and get dumped by my daughter. Luckily I have a healthy Geminian sense of humor. Lol.
I forgot to mention that I have Venus conjunct node in the middle of Gemini square Mars-Pluto-Uranus in Virgo and Saturn-Chiron in Pisces. So I guess something explosive was bound to happen. Right?
Gobsmacked… by your astro happenings. Anyway, the fixed aspects plus the “fixity” of the mother, and facing the other fourth house issue, the core self, where and how you’re at home, how your machine works, is all very confronting for your daughter. She cannot cope with what she has sensed about her core self and in order to grow away from it has blamed you and moved away. But not to be independent, only to depend on her other parent.
Hard for both of you, i think but at least you have the elegance of age and wisdom by your side. I hope that once you grieve you also enjoy your space. Be blessed with blameless understanding that will allow your girl the space to return welcome when she is ready. STrength and patience, and a hug xx
Thanks millenotte. That’s really helpful to hear xx
I was in a pit of disappointment after disappointment only to realize that I need to renew my commitment to myself.
the best relationship ever is the one you have with who you are.
Very true!!
day 2 of soup and sleep to recover from epic 5 week powerful combination of romance and work – yesterday, the romance was outed in the work context (of course) – relief and statement of intent in one – this gemini stuff is all smack in middle of 7th house – am loving the saggi activated philosophical approach – 5 months before reunited and yet, entirely chilled . . wheeee …
Vibing serene and not dwelling on what might have been with the karmic crush but I feel I have entered a period of grace and am happier as a result. Maybe it’s venus on my gem moon/NN? Something has shifted there definitely.
But I feel so stuck right now with everything else – despite not pushing and waiting tres patiently, this year has been one long drawn out tease of waiting for things to happen. Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.
aren’t all romances karmic?
… I don’t even care anymore, I just want to be transported to a tropical island where there’s a hunk of burnin love to make(hang) out with
I’m in the midst of a romance that got activated at the end of April, although seeded way before then, with an ‘offering me the world Cap/Sag’. Feels massively karmic in the sense that it feels inevitable, it’s moving very fast and the familiarity is bonkers. I don’t trust it at all. I’m scared, I really don’t want another ‘karmic love lesson battle’ but with my super stelium of Libra/7th house stuff it seems to be my life’s work. It’s a totally Uranian situation, he has it dead conjunct his Venus, and my Uranus and on and on. Makes me think it won’t go far but right now it’s utterly intoxicatingly wonderful feeling.
On the flip side, somewhere in the shadows are my feelings for the ‘probably bad for me Virgo’ who seems way more interested than he was and somehow less bad for me than he once did in comparison to someone offering me the world. Weird. I’d like to know but I’m guessing I just have to wait.
We both went to a heart & soul expo in Kyrenia and my husband had been banging on a bout getting a reading all week which is seriously weird as usually he hangs around these events like The Little Black Thundercloud. He honed in on a Scottish reader, a medium, who did a brilliant reading for him, he looked as if loads of serious baggage had dropped off his shoulders afterwards. She was so accurate I decided to have a reading myself, she honed in on my sensitivity and crap childhood, talk about inner child healing with bells on. Then she said we are yin and yang, almost a perfect relationship because we complement each other so much. She did blink when I said we’d moved in together the first night, but somehow the reading has deepened our relationship even more. And she also said we’d both got work to do in Cyprus and called me Aphrodite’s Child (which I can definitely handle). Both readings were incredibly healing.
That sounds absolutely magical, and fated. Both the reading and meeting your husband!
Yup, spot on, virgolicious. It’s as if it’s set us free from our past and free to move forward. My husband’s long-estranged daughter visited us the weekend before last, deeply healing experience for her and Bryan, so Cyprus really is Aphrodite’s Island, the island of love. Pity the Greek and Turkish Cypriots can’t let go the past and make peace with each other
I love reading how you continue to grow AR. And your Man too, youre an inspiration hun. mwa. xx
Your beautiful story resonated with me, completely. Hubby and I had similar soulful experience. Honing in on the crap and releasing. Tearing down and gutting past crap for building up and strengthening other areas to flourish. Now we’re moving to do some things we had planned, but never actioned til now. Amazing-smokin’ astro days for change.
Definitely a sense of massive change post-eclipse. I’ll be spending the transit of Venus getting acupuncture for the first time in my life, terrified of needles but sufficiently despo to try it to fix my pains, both structural and emotional.
I’ve cut back my course load next semester to free up time to build income. Got pills from the doc despite misgivings. Figure I’ll give them a try, if Neptune says no I can always bin them. About to start ‘the talking cure’ for my love sitch, but I suspect it’s terminal.
Transit going over the very top of my chart, close enough to my NN. Bloke’s moon in 8th. And also absent bloke’s asc.
I agree with Scorpionic. Sod karma. I’d settle for a bottle of wine, a good laugh and a decent shag.
Acupuncture is fantastic. You won’t feel them. Just relax and try to fall asleep.. that is the best thing to do while getting acunpuncture. Good luck! I miss it!
Hey thanks Ellie, I am actually looking forward to it as well as being a bit freaked. I feel I’m ready for it. Everyone I know who has it just raves about how much it helps them. I know I’m so energetically fuqued right now that I need some kind of major realignment, if that makes sense xx
I hear you… been there! You are starting somewhere and that is what is important. Healing thoughts coming your way!!
Hey Ellie, you were right, it was fab! Feeling more energised and hopeful for the first time in ages (hence my name change!)
“I agree with Scorpionic. Sod karma. I’d settle for a bottle of wine, a good laugh and a decent shag.”
Ditto! Met cute soulmate type man 3 weeks ago, he has been absent… finally messaged me 3 days ago, but no mention of seeing me again…
Finally got together with Taurean artist I met 2 years ago, friends tried to set us up… Two intense nights a week apart, lots of laughing and discussing philosophy, and hot sex… now he is also AWOL, didn’t even reply to my last message on Saturday! WTF???
That was me!
Although this is quite relevant for me and my chart I am not such the type to rush in with past life connections and such. Venus is stirring something much bigger than the one on one thing. For a start, it’s transit is in opposition to my venus/neptune and my Asc is a late degree Gemini. Saturn Pluto retro conjunct 4th and zap zone on the MC are waring for attention on such a time. North node conjunct moon heading for sun/merc. Pluto trine Jupiter.
I don’t actually know what I want romantically and I am quite OK with that. I didn’t plan to meet someone and neither did he. As I am newly (re) transplanted on another part of the globe, my friendships and MY foundation are the world to me rather than just going for the one on one and ignoring my own. His life could not be screaming this clearer either since he is fresh out of jail from previous space. It’s more holding hands? and helping each other develop in ways that are necessary for a correct universe such personalities as ours can live in. That is not even the most interesting thing about this time. Have to go with Mystic here, venus is not the main game in town.
Creatively and just personally everything feels like it needs to change. I feel like I am watching a tornado come for me but I’ve been living on the property forever it feels like a chain I carry so I am secretly excited by it. I have everything from fantasy hair tear sheets to saturn diet folder to LOA dream work and more. Venus is 12th house and I am getting major calls to do some work. Ideally the Matriarch was to be here and we could pilgrimage back to the old country but she is bollucksing about as usual (flake rising?) so I am considering how to use my gifts and how to re connect with the parts of me that need world time and development
Oracle keeps pointing me into the direction of Venus!
Natal Venus r in Gemini…
My moon is in Gemini… A Toro with Virgo rising who’s been chasing me (and possibly other women, too) for a while called me last week before his tour of the world and more or less offered to commit… Of course according to his terms and not to an entirely conventional relationship. I was seriously tempted but my Double Scorp nature doubts the outcome will lead anywhere… And since he’s not the only contender, doesn’t know what to do. To give in or not to give in?
Fuq relationships!!! Screwed over again. I’ll never find love. Rephrase. I’ll never find someone who loves me the way I love them.
Ahh makes sence why I’ve sort of finally left go of a love addiction from 4 years ago. I’m actually happy for him – this time sincerely!
And now I feel that letting go and moving on doesn’t necessarily mean to another person but just moving on.This all makes so much sense on why I’ve been feeling the way I have lately.
Why have been so dreamy and living in a cloud though? Oh and the penny dropped too on this aspet of my life! inally how liberating!
14-15 degrees Gemini, hm…they’re in my 7th house. So in a week or so Jupiter is gonna go back and forth over it??? And, hello, just realized that it’s bang on my Lilith……!!! (the Lilith whose symbol is a crescent moon with a cross underneath – courtesy of astro.com)
Apparently this is the year he and I are meeting. Ha! Thing is, the Tarot cards (ones I do myself + done by others) and the readings all pick up on this, except for me, well, my dreams do. (thanks to that Piscean moon)
After what I wrote down in another area, meeting him is like, hm…dunno. Not against it, not at all, just that I feel I’m still picking myself up, ya know?
Also, it would be great to meet biz-mentors under the auspicious scope; an awesome employer. 7th rules other kinds of partnerships as well.
I just found the place I wanna work in; found it a couple days ago by following my hunches to look up this particular naturopath and that led to a discovery of this practice that at the end I went, I really3x wanna work there!!!! Am still working on the cover letter; being professional and also personal, without being icky… The values resonate very much with me. Dear Universe, please please please please please…….
Interesting times, interesting degrees covered by Transit of Venus and later by Jupiter bang on my Lilith. Have to google to find out more.
i’m just getting this simple message: love yourself. venus + sun. love yourself. with all the other sh*t going on up there, i’m grateful for something to help us through. love and beauty. bless.
Good observation!!!
Love yourself…I feel the same…never before have I felt this before…
Me too! I think that’s what this recommitment to my good health is all about! Self-love, alright!
What profound stories being shared here of late, it seems everyone writes so well & cohesively. Honestly, it’s a little intimidating posting on this fab blog!! But in an excellent way, lol.
And are there more old friends on the forum today than normal? Seems appropriate if true.
All of this Venus action on my ascendent has been fun. Probably the most obvious astro evidence has been changing my name by deed poll.
So far the people I have told have been quite supportive! Still easing in to it…
You know what creatrix? You’re right. And I”m one of the old timers, and I didn’t even realize that it’s during Venus rx! =)
Re: changing your name, do you mean your name here, or your offline name? I’m in the process my real (offline) name. It’s a name that settles right with me, one that came to me pretty naturally and one that as I keep saying it, sounds me, more me than my current name (given by my parents).
Good journeying with the new name! =)
Should’ve typed “I’m in the process of changing my real name”…d’oh!
Hey U&PV, big congratulations on the name change! Yes, I mean my real offline name is also changed too. It’s been coming up for me in every deep meditation for months insistently. Finally gave in as I was in a name change process anyway. I had been wanting to join my son’s in using my husband’s rather nice french surname.
It’s funny how a name I never considered EVER feels so bright and normal. Let me know how you go with it!
Still can’t shake ‘Andromeda’ tho, it’s weird how sticky this wordpress site is to the old name!
Hold on! Scorpio Sex Academic is making out on Hawaiian beach and bothers to TEXT YOU??
…oh, “has been”. Well, still. STILL.
One does NOT kiss and text. Good. f’ing. god. This is probably why I’m immune to modern dating.
Argh. Hell. Can this mutable Venus energy please just stop? I am all gooey over a certain someone one minute and then, as if sobering up “wait, why the hell would I care? What kind of trip is this?” Does the day when Venus entered Gemini already count as karmic woowoo potential?
Now, the oracle told me two different question to put out salt on the front door (I’ve got 3 doors going to a balcony, I do have to do all of them? Or just the one we use as entrance?) and that after I just sweeped the line, cause yesterdays housewitch stuff said, clean the way to the door. I am two minds about it. Tempted to see what’s happening tonight if I don’t.
Do all of them. And the windows. And your bed. And the four directions. And use sea salt. I like the organic Celtic stuff, but depending on your mood and location, you may prefer the funky Australian pink lake salt instead (I eat this out of the packet…)
Hmmm, I have just normal store bought large grain salt.
As I said, I am curious as to actually see what happens if I don’t, especially as tonight is Venus Transit time, but curiosity kills the cat maybe?
I have a suspicion, but I am entirely tired of suspecting. And I love the idea of being a mystery detective
And the Oracle sez:
“Today go all Venusian – re-appreciating the beauty & sensuality in everyday life, self-enhancement, scents, art, music & a fun seduction strategy.”
That’s my cue! I’m off for a little retail therapy
Planted beans, garlic and potatoes today. Why is everyone else getting deep romantic/life wierding and I’m getting house-y sh*t ?
Yes, my new toilet flusher is fabulous, and yes, fiddling with the Feng Shui has made a huge difference; but all my nails are broken (KIKUYU. AGGGH. An excellent argument for dildren) and I have gone through three changes of clothes today.
And Mr Squeaky uses every gardening expedition as an opportunity to torture snails. He *licks* them until they blow bubbles… Or I become completely hysterical
HOW is this Venusian ? I’m covered in scratches from the chicken wire, have dirty nails and filthy feet…
Nice! I finished planting my garden yesterday, and was thinking while elbow- and knee-deep in Earth how rejuvie and sensual Earth is… Not Earth under your finger and toe nails, but, you know, right? Fertile, beautiful Earth: aww yeah.
I’ve plucked the most gorgeous yellow tomato out of my garden today. It’s Road Stripe Yellow, the deep yellow, bordering on orange they use to paint the roads here in the US. When I sliced a garden scallion the other day, I thought how no store-bought produce has the scent and aliveness that homegrown has. I agree that it’s truly a sensuous experience to grow your own fruits and veggies.
Good luck to everyone’s gardens this year!
Right on, Mush(roomin’)! Blessings to the earthy fruits of your labor, too
I have Sagg Asc and my day sounds similar to yours! It’s all been about house-crap!
Well I’ve been working the garden and uncluttering the house trying to distract myself from the “ooooh yes” “hell to the no” madness that’s going nowhere, so
DT, I feel you. I, too, have been completely covered in soil day after day, prepping my community garden plot for tomatoes, cleaning house after our giant 3-day party celebrating our 20 year anniversary this past weekend, cooking like a fiend today, hanging out with my daughters, enjoying the sun. Re-doing the house, feeling occasionally manic about housework and planting.
I have Sagg rising, Leo sun, Venus in my 8th house, Uranus conjunct Pluto natally. Need to go check the zap zone page again for a refresher. I think everything I’ve read before has been lost to the last couple of weeks mania…
Venus is about money too, and I save a bundle of cash with my garden, Maybe your practicallity works are money investments.
Cleaning away in my place. Started Memorial Day w/e and continues. Decluttered by East bedroom closet (family and health – FS bit) and got a call from my brother who I haven’t spoken to in a while. But I got SO sick.. lasted 2 days.. Thank You God!. Did some smudging the other night with intentions so let’s see how it plays out since my guy showed up a little bit. Not directly but I know he is alive. My career prospect will be back in the office tomorrow so let’s see if I hear some positive news. Not sure about the job but if it is offered I will spend some time meditating. I need something better.. challenging and more money or I won’t last. It’s gonna be an interesting couple of months!
I was out tending to my vegetable garden most of the day today. I’ve hoed nearly all of her weeds into oblivion. I love love love my garden. She is looking vibrant and beautiful.
She loves you too, I’m sure
Enjoy!
So far, I haven’t seen anything from this transit and it’s supposed to be smack dab in my 7th house conjunct with Saturn and all sorts of shit.
I am grateful to some clarity I’ve found recently. I thought I would never find anybody (i’m sure i can thank Saturn for making me feel insecure) and now I just don’t care anymore. But seriously in the interval of thinking I’ll never find anyone to just not giving a fuck anymore and donating myself to higher causes …. I came to understand and accept my own nature. I’m a Scorp Moon so I ONLY SOUL-MATE. Period. Nothing else will do. It felt good to accept that because I have friends who have been pushing me hard to “get out there” and “start dating lots of guys”. They don’t do it to be cruel, bless their little well-meaning air-moon hearts, but they don’t understand my needs. I don’t date casually. Fuck casual. I slap casual in the face. I would much rather go into a relationship where the force of our ‘love’ caused an entire building to catch on fire and would only last 2 days than be locked into a “safe” and easy relationship that crippled on 10 years. I’m still looking looking for a longer lasting version of the first situation but I will not put myself through the circus of meaningless speed dating scenarios. My spiritual antenna should be good enough to pick up on who I need to meet. It’s worked before but seems like the reception got fuxxored when Neptune was in Aquarius so I began to doubt myself.
“Fuck casual. I slap casual in the face.” *Love* it!
Staying true to You: awesome.
If that’s the only thing i get from this transit, so be it. =)
Fuxxored – i love that one and i’m playing with pronunciation.
And love friends but the well meaning ones with the non-you advice… yeah isn’t the road to hell paved with good intentions?
It drives me nuts. Who’s need is being met??
I so understand…moon and venus in 12th, north node in scorpio. I don’t do casual either.
my friends who encouraged me to sleep around and date everyone just don’t get it either.
Congrats on winning the long awaited jackpot though! Sounds like everything is doing well in the kingdom of the catfish moon!
Thanks EEL. I’m sure all the positive energy from everyone here helped usher in my healing and positive transformations.
I don’t always feel all transits equally. Neptune leaving Aquarius was the dominating factor for awhile and mars in virgo wasn’t even doing a thing till he went retrograde.
Yes, my little, well-meaning air moon would say the same. I scratch my head and wonder how you find deep if you dpn’t shop. But maybe you have huge karmic encounters that are magical. That would be very cool.
Wait, I’m an air head — I don’t have an air moon, I have an air Mars. I have a water moon, Pisces, that wants to merge deeply with everyone. Since that usually scares people, I merge as far as I can with each one, counting on quantity to fill me.
I have an air Mars too.
Plus, I am an Air Head as well: Libra Sun.
As a multiple Venus-ruled Libra, apart from the break up last month, value myself, what do I really want blah blah, I am also going through a massive makeover, but from the inside out.
I’m not spending buckets of cash on hairdressers, clothes etc etc, but I am spending some money and time on exercise, raw veggie juicing, hydrogen peroxide teeth whitening etc.
My skin looks so much better already, and you can’t buy that in a jar. I just have to get my sleep cycles better regulated.
My philosophy at the mo is that the extraneous makeover stuff comes second, but the inner makeover stuff comes first. And yes, the relationship breaking up was part of an inner makeover, no more inauthenticity and going nowhere stuff.
Feel filled with the spirit of the Rose.
Well, a flawless, like TOTALLY FLAWLESS PERFECT UNBELIEVABLE EVERYTHING WORKED PERFECTLY EVEN WITHOUT ME MANIPULATING ANYTHING OR TRYING TOO HARD ACTUALLY NOT TRYING AT ALL few days with The Tres Sportif Tres Beau Parisien Leo. Like, Ridiculously Amazing.
So I ran his chart and he has Mars, Venus, Moon Pluto and Probably His Outrageously Beautiful Ascendant in fucking LIBRA.
Jesus F Christ. Like, No Offence Librans, but Libra (male) types simply do not understand me. As a 9th house Pisces sun: They just don’t. He seems to be drawn to opinionated Aries types – particularly as Aries rules his 7th.
Not that I was keeping tabs on this, as he has a girlfriend and this was purely a friendly visit, but SRSLY this guy is, like, Mr. Fuqing Perfect. And I was freaking AMAZING this past few days if I do say so myself.
At the same time, I need someone who actually IS a rock-star, not just ACTS like one.
So while we had a (lovely, charming, pleasant) conversation this evening where – reading between the lines or not – I establish that I am not his type, not that we were having that kind of conversation, but in his own way he may have been. He talked about his impressions of me at which point the Venus in Aries in me then felt like saying, “I actually don’t give a fuq what you think of me, you arrogant pretty boy, and who are you to think that I do”
Any way, the point is, it is very liberating to realise that (1) not everyone will think you’re The Business and (2) that you don’t actually care about that.
Vive la Pisces.
Ha! Yes, the Libran men are drawn to my opinionated Aries-ness, only to resent it like hell later. I think they admire the ability to say what you want without having to think of everything/everyone else. My present Libran says he loves how I can so freely discuss anything, and has stars and happily ever after in his eyes over it, while I point out, yes, I can discuss but did you notice how we agree on nothing? So, maybe that will be a problem? lol
Wonderful that you had wonderfulness. I notice a pattern in the comments about lots of action and lots of cool-headed thinking about it. Interesting. Maybe it’s the retro aspect of Venus right now.
i think it might just be a case of heading disappointment off at the pass. And realising that for all the inner work I have done, it still looks on the outside like i don’t have my shit together.
I have this weird thing with Libra men where there is attraction (I blame my gem asc and IC, Pluto) but it’s just a surface thing, I am so not able to carry the emotion with them at all, I live for the highs and lows, the rush the ebb, not the middle. I only stand in the middle when I am paused between what I am to throw myself into. Can only ever be a friendly bedroom thing with no great emotion even on the pluto conjunct types
good point Ms, relevant for me too as our chart angles are in the same signs.
Gemini is in my 10th house. Nothing in the middle of Gemini.
Taurus’s venus at 3* Gemini, possibly in his 4th.
We have a karmic love, but sweet and easy, comfortable and familiar. Like nothing I have ever known. Grounded.
His south node conjunct my juno in Cancer. Exactly us!
HIs sun conjunct my psyche and ceres, and a few degrees from my MC and south node, all in late degrees Taurus….Jupiter is there now!
His venus a few degrees from my south node and midheaven but cross signs.
We are madly in love. Met in December, chatted some this year but I did not want to think of him as a potential love interest, but then in March it turned romantic. April we were dating, May in love. <3
Our kids get along, we adore each other, all of us.
Also, I find out this week if my son gets this scholorship to a prestigious school. If he does and it works out, he will be leaving for high school at 14. But my multi Aqua, Cappy rising, Saggy moon son is absolutely independent and mature enough to handle it..
I’ve been thinking about what was going on the last Venus transit in 2004. I can’t believe how much I have changed in 8 years. And with the tail end of Saturn in Libra lessons now, I can’t even express how much my view of relationships has changed since then. Once, I was committed to the needs of others. Now, I am committed to myself. The truer I am, the more accepting I am of the Now, the more cared for and free are my loved ones. They love me – me being me – and I them – being who they are (irritating as it may be at times). I don’t really understand why I thought relationships required committment and constraint. Its taken me a long time to accept myself and my own independence. I’m stunned by my own transformation. I never realized there was so much work to be done internally. And now, I accept where I am at – the relationships I am in or not in – because love doesn’t hold people in agreements. It just is. I’m happy the people I love exist. The rest is secondary.
Great comment <3
Well… that was very nicely put.. accepting ourselves & who we really are.. is our Lifelong mission… To simply be who we each uniquely are in this life.. That’s why we all came here.. indeed.. As, I have struggled over the years to learn how to move away from the Consensus Trapped Consciousness.. ie. allowing myself to explore what I really love.. By seperating myself from my former friends & life etc.. Although it took a major transit of Pluto opposite my natal Sun & Uranus square my Ascendant-Descendant in mid-late 1995 to really get me to start questioning the Consensus view of life etc.. ie. whatsitallmeanthen.. And as a 2nd house Taurus Sun trine a 9th house Capricorn Moon.. I married an Aquarian with a Scorpio Moon.. And the majot life-changing event I mentioned abovve was the death of my son & the end of my marriage which was my Soul awakening calalyst for me.. And my blog is http://www.whatsitallmeanthen.blogspot.com.au/.. which I have done my most recent blog on the ‘Transit of Venus’ of course.. As a Venus in Gemini….. And of course, Venus is really all about getting to know our inner Self………
AND.. all of this with my also thinking of Gene Wilder & the song ‘Pure Imagination” from the movie ‘Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory’.. along with the closing part of the movie ‘Contact’ with Jodie Foster & Mathew McCaunaghy’.. where Ellie made her dramatic & moving “I HAD AN EXPERIENCE SPEECH”.. before the skeptical powers that be……… And this story imagined by the great mind & imagination of the imaginative Soul that was Carl Sagan.. Who expressed his wonder & awe at the unity of the Cosmos in the famous series of the same name…
Beautiful! Thank you. I can’t believe 2004 was 8 years ago, wish I had known about astrology then.
Yes.. I was only in the first few years of my study, or should I say “obsession” or love affair with astrology & getting to know my Self.. & how everything is happening according to some kind of Mysterious Order…. Yes, the great Mystery all unfolding.. just as it should etc et al… Consciousness is always the rewarded by effort… And allowing ourselves to experience the Divine all around us…….. “As above.. So below”.. “As within.. So without” etc et al….
sorry to go off topic, but is anyone else having login problems? when i log in it takes me to my dashboard, but then when i try to click horoscopes or anything else it takes me back to the login screen.
Yes! Exact same thing is happening to me. I’m relieved I’m not the only one … was thinking man, venus really doesn’t like me! I have tried everything recommended in the F.A.Q and nothing worked. Have sent email to MM and hope she will find a fix soon as I am desperate to check my scopes.
Good to know am not alone. I too can’t login
I remember reading somewhere that it isn’t wise to hop into a relationship at this time because this transit shouldn’t be handled with jumping into commitments without thinking – because we’re on somewhat of a high right now. The only major things that have been ricocheting around in my desires have been my desire to become successful in my career and to find or “stumble” into love.
With that in mind, I sort of stumbled head long into this lovely Aquarius guy who fulfills my Venus in Leo in 10th House needs for a successful and socially blessed partner. I’m a wee little Cancer who’s slowly becoming smitten by him, but I know that him being an Aquarius with a Taurus Moon, Venus Pisces and Sag Mars might insinuate that he’s going to wait it out a bit before he settles into a relationship.
We only met each other in person yesterday (originally met online) and he called me his, “Ideal Woman” and he was completely serious about it when I asked him about it later on. It’s also ridiculously interesting because I have four planets in Leo and recognized that he could have the potential to lead me in the right direction occupationally because our career fields are very closely related.
With all of that said, I’m going to absorb this transit and I’m going to open myself to the possibilities of some extraordinary things ^-^
Beware! When guys come on full steam like that…telling you everything you didn’t even realize you ever wanted to hear…well, it can be a red flag for a predator, or insatiable neediness, or other issues.
Maybe he’s for real, I don’t know. But personally, I just got big time burned by such a one. He gave me the world, then took it all back when his ex showed up and snapped her fingers. Poof!
If you can manage to go slow, make him do the work and earn your trust, you’ll see if he’s worth it. Let vVenus lead the way and keep loving yourself, first.
Your comment makes me think. Emotional dependency in realtionships — is this a trait we must wean ourselves from in order to have successful relationships? Marriage is often a contract of emotional commitment, but in practice, doesn’t always work out that way. There are no guarantees ever. Even death can take a commited partner away unexpectedly. If a present partner leaves, are you emotionally stable enough to move on and reconnect elsewhere without your life falling apart? But then, I am not a soulmate believer.
I wish you happiness, Artemis, but the words “Ideal Woman” mean this guy had a list of traits in mind before he met you in person. That creeps me out. I know its common practice, especially on online dating sites, but people aren’t ideals or ideal ever. They’re people. Take your time getting to know him.
Yes as Mystic said, don’t count anyone in or out until AUGUST!
Taking my own advice… sheesh!
I LOVE it how all of everyone’s comments in this thread perfectly defines what ended up happening with that dreamy Aqua guy.
He’s basically a businessman – And basically used his managerial and smooth-talker gifts to lead me in thinking that it COULD lead to something serious later on, then snatched it back when I got too *ahem* comfortable and let my guard down with him. Then again, it could also be my fault. Either way, it was basically not like I expected..whatsoever.
He’s a great guy. But I’m far too sensitive to handle a Sun in Aqua / Taurus Moon / Merc in Aqua / Venus in Pisces / Mars in Sag.
I can handle the second part of the chart, but combined I can’t handle someone THAT astrologically independent. I’m a double Cancer. Since my Mars and Venus are BOTH in Leo, it makes me naturally gravitate toward those types.
But at the end I end up getting burned by my own desires.
._.
also…. with his Sun /moon/merc all in fixed signs. He’d be stubborn as!!
No action! No play at all! Nada! I feel like a primed athlete on the sidelines of the big game!!
Wish I could have been there for the storm, and alas it will be cloudy in NYC for Venus transit, Its june and yesterday I needed a jacket very odd. But I hate high heat so my cold aquarian heart wont melt. Havent been minding the coolness. I just wanted to see the Transit tomorrow around sunset. Maybe the clouds may part for a minute who knows.
AND.. so here I am watching the live-broadcast of the ‘Transit of Venus’.. from a link from the NASA website.. And, Mystic I dont’ this we can “diss” the significance of this “transit”.. Since even though man”Sciencee” has denied the reality of astrology & all kinds of ancient arts that give us great insights into ourselves, human nature & what we are each doing here on this Earth etc.. I still think that we need to appreciate, in a Pisces kind of way.. that we are all playing our part in the evolution of Consciousness.. Less, as Dane Rudhyar says, “We repeat the Sin of the Mindless, at a Higher Level’… ie. respecting, having compassion for where we are all each at on our own Soul’s journey etc etc.. ie. This is LOVE… reminding me of all my arguments with my Father & others etc.. who seem to “diss” astrology & all the other divinatory arts & all kinds of ‘Mystical’ & or deeply ‘Spiritual’ experiences that we may have had.. etc.. AND, all of this takes me back to what *Venus(r) in Gemini, leading up to this “Transit” that has siezed the Collective Consciousness, returning us all to the Child-like, ie. Gemini, awe & wonder at the Unvierse that we are all living in……… And I was born with Venus in Gemini!!! Along with a Solar Eclipse occuring right on my natal Venus , 10 days after I was born…. While I also did a blog on the meaning of this ‘Transit’ at http://whatsitallmeanthen.blogspot.com.au/2012/05/astrology-transit-of-venus-june-5-6.html#!/2012/05/astrology-transit-of-venus-june-5-6.html
AND.. I also find all this interesting that all this is occuring just after a Sagittarian Lunar Eclipse.. along with the Queen also synchronistically celebrating her “Diamond” Jubliee.. ie. Royalty & Diamonds.. the Sun relates to “royalty”.. & “diamonds” are supposed to be the epitomy & beauty.. ie. ‘Twinke, twinklle, little Star’.. along with being the strongest rock we know.. able to cut through almost anything… Also a diamond is a symbol of “Love”…….. relating to more that just romantic love of course.. although we all have to start somewhere……. But, diamonds also seem to symbolise that which is pure & strong.. And, at the end of the day it all comes back to Self-love.. ultimately & knowing truly knowling ones Self & expressing the “gift” or the inner “genius” we each came here to express in the world etc.. AND, as Michael Meade says, real lasting happiness in this Life, is making the “Genuis” within our Soul, happy.. That is, true happiness is fulfilling our Soul’s agreement in this life……….
AND.. here are some notes from my daily journal earlier.. along with a link to a live-video of this event…
Meanwhile it’ snow 8.22am.. & here I am having just tuned into a live streaming of the *‘Transit of Venus’ from a link at the NASA website.. at http://venustransit.nasa.gov/transitofvenus/index_akamai.php.. And with this coverage coming from an observatory in the middle of the Pacific Ocean from the island of Hawaii… meanwhile at 8.29am.. Venus finally fully enters the disc of the Sun… And all this too with the commentators on this live-broadcast of this Transit of Venus mentioning that the planet Venus has been inspired so much art & music throughout the ages………. And… all of this while relating all of this too to the messages of Michael Meade & his books *‘The World Behind the Worlds’.. & *‘Fate & Destiny: The Two Agreements of the Soul’…….
AND… lest we fall into our own Shadow.. And “diss” science, that has brought us so many good things in this modern world.. Like this computer I am using right now.. along with my Matrix astro program.. along with this live streaming of this ‘Transit’ of Venus.. And, although of course, as Einstien reminded us all.. Science, without relgion or a sense of meaning in life.. is “dead”………… While I also listened to astrophysicist Fred Watson talking on ABC Classic Fm on the Midday Interview the other day about this transit, who also mentioned that quantum physics & the nature of time seems to point to the existence of “Eterinty”.. ie. that every moment that has occured in this world, still exists in an eternal form.. So perhaps there is no such thing as “death” or the “past” as we normally think of it etc… ie. What we think is “reality” may not even be close to the great Mystery of Life etc.. Aha… a scientist, who also composes music.. admitting that there is just so much that we still don’t know.. despite all we have learned……..
AND.. as I noted in my blog on the ‘Transit of Venus’ I included some notes from my ongoing daily journal about what this transit has brought to me.. ie. the teacher, mythologist & modern Shaman that is Michael Meade.. talking about the bigger Truths in this life.. versus letting go of all the other stuff that we are told to beleive by the Consensus Society & Culture etc.. WOW.. this guy is “Uranus in Aries.. square Pluto in Capricorn”!!!!!!!!!! He’s on Facebook or at http://www.mosaicvoices.org/ On ‘Fate & Destiny: The Two Agreements of the Soul’.. And, he has plenty of videos on You Tube… And, he even mentions the meaning of the archetypes of Gemini-Sagittarius in a radio interview on his website… Getting down to the essense of a situation.. & letting go or putting aside all the rest.. And, actually this is his overall message in all that he talks about…
Well, less than 30 mins into Venus Sun transit in my loaded 4th house and I blew up the oven! Glass everywhere :/
Perhaps a big love or big money is on it’s way , lol.
dramatic x
Shit, are you alright Ms??? You weren’t close enough for the shards were you?
I walked up to the top of the hill in all nations park in Northcote this morning – arrived just before the start and there were people with telescopes and filters and they let me take a peek and I actually saw the start of the transit. So cool. I was at the top of the hill for the transit 8 years ago. Feel like I’m saying goodbye to a lot of old crap and acknowleding how much i’ve changed for the better. I live in the same street that i did back then and my path to the park took me past my old house. Said goodbye.
Am seeing Prometheus tonight, oddly enough with a bunch of people I started working with last Venus transit. Looking forward to that too.
Venus and sun both a few degrees off my natal venus so feeling the love.
Funny you say it… some old friends live there and when i think of how my life changed at a certain time i tend to think of their suburb rather than where i was living.
That’s a lovely sense of closure, samantha.
Wishing you a happy transit Mille.
It’s cloudy here in the mild, mild west!! No view at all except on the internet.
Heard on the radio this morning about crowds of people up near the Observatory with telescopes. How cool. Feels good to be sharing this experience with the rest of the planet.
Yes.. all in true Venus in Gemini fashion.. many people all over the world, ie. Venus, coming together to observe, discuss & wonder about, ie.Gemini, a rare Celestial event…
I’m watching a live feed of the Transit of Venus on NASA’s site. There are also some phenomenal imaging of the Sun and Venus’ approach to it. There is intermittent commentary and they’re giving Q and A’s. They are also playing some pre-recorded interviews with various NASA scientists and one actually was remarking, emphatically remarking, about what a “good guy” Jupiter is. That a widely held theory is that he shields Earth from getting hit by assorted things (asteroids etc.).
Yes, I’m watching the same life broadcast.. Seeing the Sun just after it had entered the disc of the Sun.. It’s interesting to hear the various stories about the history of all this.. And scientists getting emotional about those who have gone before us etc.. Also I loved it when the trow astronomers where talking about creating a new mission for some new research or investigation when one of them started singing the song “Pure Imagination” after the ‘Inventing Room’ was mentioned in relation to all this from the movie’ Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory’… Venus in Gemini!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They were all bubbling over and giddy with this event. It was lovely to watch and to allow myself to be caught up in their excitement.
Yes, I loved it all.. taking us all back to the curious child within us all.. looking out at the world & the greater Universe beyond with a sense of wonder, joy & awe… Yes, the power of the child-like IMAGINATION, the unconditioned mind…… ie. Venus in Gemini indeed!!!!!!!!!! Also being ruled by *Mercury in Gemini.. seperating from its trine to *Saturn(r) in Libra……. Bring the world together with a sense of awe & wonder……..
Has been one of the loneliest weeks of my life, full stop. Venus is bang on the cusp of my 11th house, still just about in the 10th. I’ve made a wish, but still can’t really figure out what this will mean for me. Any suggestions welcome!
AND.. so I decide to ask the Sabian Oracle at http://sabiansymbols.com/page11bd.html?id=974 what the Universe wants to say to you about your life at this time.. at I got *5degCan..
AT A RAILROAD CROSSING, AN AUTOMOBILE IS WRECKED BY A TRAIN.. This Symbol sounds worse than it often is: but there is a need for caution. The individual’s ideas will not survive in a collision with the more powerful Collective. This is not a time to be insisting bravely that you should be considered. The Collective has too much momentum and will not stop. If someone pits themselves and their energies against Society, sooner or later they are going to lose.
Not looking to the consequences of one’s actions. Running against the grain of others. Cars, trains. Individual rights. Rebelling.
The Caution: Recklessness. Being prepared to sacrifice other individuals for the sake of larger gains. Working until one drops.
While the next symbol shows the next evolutionary step.. at *6degCan..
GAME BIRDS FEATHERING THEIR NESTS.. An instinctual dedication of Self to new forms of life.. a preparation for rebirth, & a significant note is sounded by ‘game birds’.. What is being built is instinctively – but not yet Consaciously – offered to a higher level of Consciousness.. ie. a deep Unconscious cooperation between different levels of existence, the “animal” level producing lives for the sake of the “human”.. ie. SYMBIOSIS…
While I also did a blog on this ‘Transit of Venus’ where I also refer to mythologist & modern Shaman Michale Meade, whom I can’t recommend more highly as he seems to totally embody the transit of ‘Venus(r) in Gemini.. & Uranus in Aries.. square Pluto in Capricorn… http://whatsitallmeanthen.blogspot.com.au/2012/05/astrology-transit-of-venus-june-5-6.html#!/2012/05/astrology-transit-of-venus-june-5-6.html
While the previous symbol shows what has led up to the current situation you are facing.. at *5degCan.. And so at *4degCan..
A CAT ARGUING WITH A MOUSE.. An attempt at Self-justification.. We are still invovled with the results of an act which brought about a radical reorientation of one’s life.. The drives of the bio-psychic organism are not easily conquered.. A multitude of lesser decisions follows the big & grand gestures of repudiation & realignment.. The desires of the body still drown ot the “New Self”.. One argues with oneself, hoping to convince oneself that the old impulses are still legitimate.. ie. RATIONALISATION…
Sabian Symbols from ‘An Astrological Mandala: The Cycle of Trajnsformation & Its 360 Phases’ by Dane Rudhyar…
Ariel, my suggestion is STOP WISHING. Keep dreaming, keep using your imagination and keep the faith. Dreams keep your heart alive, but you can wish your life away. STOCKTAKE. What do i have in my life? Notice it, breathe it in and be grateful. Especially thank yourself for the things you have in your life that you put the effort into creating. Do something good for someone who loves you, or for a stranger.
Signed up for belly dance lessons again… I didn’t realize how much I’d missed taking them, until I was shaking and shimmyin and realizing this was hurting a lot more than I remembered it. Time to re-learn how to stand.
Have an interview for Thursday, noon, for the possibility of teaching ESL in South Korea. Am really feeling the effects [last night and after-effects today] of the Saggo full moon: heavy focus on independence and now, hopefully, travel. Last night I went to an underground electro concert, not my music at all, but they introduced everyone by astro sign, and the lead inger was wearing the pentagram cuff bracelet MM’s mentioned before. After the show I bought an album and sheepishly gave it to her to sign, then before I know it we’re talking like we’ve known each other before about the Saggo full moon, the transit of Venus, and all the trippy deets of major relationships hitting during major astro transits. All the while she’s drawing a third eye on her portrait on the jacket sleeve of the CD, with “SEE HERE NOW” written to follow the outside shape of her head, and an arrow pointing down to the third eye and another arrow pointing up towards infinity. The entire concert I felt static all around me, and nobody else was. I told her about this. She said to find that static in everything and live there, that’s how she tries to do it. It was just all so natural, maybe she was my priest[ess] in another life? And for the record, she’s a total Scorpio.
Love these weird encounters!
That is awesome! It’s making me want an eye of horus tatt, big time. (Not Eye of Whore-us, k?)
Well, I have natal Venus is Gemini at the exact degree of this transit… It’s my Venus return- during the retrograde . I have Venus in the 10th house. I can’t see any career breakthroughs unless taking all my means of income away *again* counts . Not feeling positive lately. It’s as if I can’t catch a break. Not looking forward to the zap zone either. have no idea what other crap the eclipse will bring in my fourth house… *sigh*
And, I too have Venus in Gemini.. ruler of my Taurs Mercury & Sun.. in the 2nd house conjunct Jupiter & the Gemini Nth Node.. And as Steven Forrest says the 10th house is our ‘Cosmic job-descrpition’.. I CANNOT RECOMMEND MORE HIGHLY to anyone of listening to mythologist & modern Shaman Michael Meade talking about recognising & understanding our own ‘Fate & Destiny’ in this life…. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoCvZcHLA10&feature=related
i am probably wrong and disoriented by venus and neptune but under impression my very young consultant has crush. but could be all the venus obsession/compulsion holding sway. I almost never think younger men really have crushes. I think they want a mommy…
productive day, but long and agonizing day of uncertainty. I hate uncertainty.
Well, yes uncertainty can be a difficult concept to the rational mind of course.. especially as a Cap Moon & Taurus Sun.. But thank God for Venus in Gemini.. my ruling planet.. conjunct my Jupiter-Gemini Nth Node.. even if ruled by Mercury in Taurus!!! Though all also square & trine Uranus-Pluto-Mars in Virgo!!! AND, speaking of “Uncertainty”.. as Michael Meade would say, the only certainty we can ever have is “Knowing” Who we uniquely are… I highly recommend evertone on this planet hear what he has to say to us all about understanding our ‘Fate & Destiny’ in this life.. at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoCvZcHLA10&feature=related
I didn’t mind not seeing the transit i.r.l., after all. Had a drive along the beaches in lovely pouring rain. Heard a woman being interviewed on the radio. Turns out she had the same name as mine would be if I married my old lover and took his surname, lol… weirdly, just before this I had been on the acupuncturist’s table trying not to think about the needles, daydreaming about the common-law ceremony I always wanted with him. Thank you Venus, for that little smile through the winter clouds
I watched the beginning of the Venus transit from the rooftop of the building where I work here in California, no telescope, but with eye protection. I found myself quite enchanted by that tiny black dot on the edge of the Sun. I just love stuff like this…..really puts me in another head space, a feeling of expansiveness….I felt uplifted.
Either for real or imagined, there was a different light cast on everything this afternoon and evening. I mean, physically, the lighting outside was ‘different’ and there was a softer vibe on everything, which was a real feat in the rough neighborhood where I work.
I watched NASA tv for the rest of the transit and learned some things about Venus, too, like that she rotates on her axis in the opposite direction from all the other planets that have a more ‘vertical’ rotation.
Anyway……my life is still in the trenches in all other ways, work, home, finances……but somehow that all let up for a while today and I just felt good, which is rare for me these days.
Venus is transiting my 12th house, so that would be dealing with maybe unapparent issues stuffed into but maybe bubbling up from my unconscious? I don’t know……..I’m not sure anything could shock or rattle me at this point as I’ve been under a 2+ year period of hellish circumstances that have created for me a permanent level of extreme stress and I live in the numbness of PTSD.
There’s no contrast anymore, so when something ‘really bad’ or heavy or intense happens, it just feels like more of the same to me.
Anyway……thank you Venus, for showing yourself on the fabulous fire-y stage of the Sun and bringing some joy and wonder into my life today!
Darrell, call me an old fashioned Merc in Aries but the more you mention the name Michael Meade in each one of your posts, the less inclined i am to ever find out who he is. Are you trolling Mystic’s blog?
I have Merc in Gem and I totes feel the same way.
I have Merc in Libra and have been wondering the same thing.
My buddy encouraged I might like that website. Your dog once was completely proper. This kind of offered really built the working day. You simply can’t believe that substantial amount I needed put in due to this data! Thank you!
