Venus occulting the Sun!

The ancient Mayans prized Venus
 and felt this year's transit of Venus
 was very important to the events of the year, 
and would point the way to events later in the year,
 leading to December 21, 2012. 
Venus does not cross the face of the Sun
 (in between the earth and Sun)
 very often. 




Venus will do this in pairs of years, always eight years apart.
 The last time we saw this happen, it was June 8, 2004,
 and the next time will be on 
Tuesday, June 5 or 
Wednesday, June 6, 2012
 (depending on your time zone).
 After that, we will never see this happen again in our lifetime. 
The last time this happened was 
December 1881 and December 1889. 

The next time Venus will transit the Sun,
 it will be December 2117 and December 2125,
 more than a century from now. 

We are now on the eve of the second transit of a pair, after which there will be no other till the twenty-first century of our era has dawned upon the earth, and the June flowers are blooming in 2004 (and 2012). When the last transit season occurred the intellectual world was awakening from the slumber of ages, and that wondrous scientific activity which has led to our present advanced knowledge was just beginning. What will be the state of science when the next transit season arrives? God only knows. Not even our children's children will live to take part in the astronomy of that day. As for ourselves, we have to do with the present. - William Harkness,
 U.S. Naval Observatory 1882

 

"Every 8 years, Venus returns to almost exactly the same point it was 8 years before, and in the exact same relationship to the Sun. In this time, Venus makes 10 exact conjunctions with the Sun. Plotting these 10 conjunctions creates a perfect 5-pointed star, known as the pentagram:



the ancient symbol of the goddess from all pagan cultures..

 

In actuality, Venus will actually dance these conjunctions in the shape of a heart, because of her backwards or retrograde cycle. The shape of these 5 hearts over the 8 year cycle creates a 5 petaled Rose.

  omg watch this! its so beautiful

Thus, we have the Star, Pentagram, Heart, and Rose, all traditional symbols of the Goddess and Beauty that Venus literally traces in her elegant dance in the sky.

The Sounds of Venus!

Love, eroticism, money, values, pleasure and worth are up for reevaluation and renegotiation. 
Venus turned Retrograde on May 15 
and will be so until June 27,
 and though we’ve been “in the shadow” since April 11,
 now it’s time to dive in
 and deepen the process of healing
 and regenerating the feminine.

When a planet turns Retrograde, 
its function turns inward, and outer circumstances 
conspire to help us really get the message that
 we are the source of our own suffering, 
and our own healing. 
 Venus Retro reveals 
ways that we look outside ourselves for love,
 validation and worth
 which typically happen in the
 Venus-ruled arenas of 
relationship and money.

 

Venus Retro takes us back into the past, 
for the purpose of healing and resolution,
 so we can move forward more easily. 
This reminds me of the shamanic process of Soul Retrieval 
 a part of ourselves that was traumatized 
and left behind now wants to be reclaimed 
 and brought into present time.

Gemini the Twins signifies duality, 
and Venus Retrograde in Gemini reveals
 the places where we lost a felt sense of oneness 
 both within ourselves 
and in relation to all beings 
 and split off into separation. 
 In traditional astrology Gemini is ruled by Mercury, 
but I was pleased to learn that,  
at an esoteric level, 
Gemini is thought to be ruled by Venus  .

 Its anyone's guess at this point how it will all play out, but the astrology is off the charts!! What exciting and beautiful times to be living through. Everyone just love each other and take good notes for the history books! xo, Paetra
