Venus is DIRECT! heart matters move astrology

.

 moves forward, March.

 

 

VENUS is Direct finally Sept 6 @14+ degrees LEO. The planet will reappear from the Underworld, reborn afresh in 5-7 days in the morning sky as Beautiful Venus Phosphorus The Light BRINGER.”

This Venus Retrograde cycle tracks us back to events, loves, relationships of all kinds, values, creativity and financial issues from 8 years ago. Venus Stations Retrogade in the same place in the zodiac every 8 years so its the same place in your natal chart. You could look back to 8, 16 or more years to see what was happening in your love life and finances at those times.

See how Venus Rx affects you trhough sign and house aspects in my article https://infinitynow.wordpress.com/2015/08/31/venus-and-marslovers-reunite-drama/.

But Venus will take until October 8th to return to Zero degrees Virgo where she originally turned Retrograde and everything in her reign can really advance.

I know many relationships have ended and been in the balance over the last few weeks. I have felt Venus retrograde to be like a Mercury Retrograde in that everything I value has been delayed or slowed. Have you found this too?  

In my personal life, Venus Rx has had my husband in Sedona Arizona for the past two weeks because he needed some down time which I felt he deserved, to have some space, do some writing and photography and play music, recoup and get ready for his next art show {Venus rules artists} opening Sept 11. at Angell Gallery in Toronto at its new location. Come to the opening.

Zero degrees Virgo is also where the Fixed Star Regulus now resides. Angel Raphael Angel of the heart. So her journey symbolizes turning back to the Heart healing of  Leo to cleanse the ego. The world’s response to the photo of the little Syrian refugee boys drowning is also a manifestation of this heart, cleansing, egoless compassionate response.  

Venus will be square Saturn in Sagittarius as she crosses her Retrograde point

VENUS and MARS have another conjunction November 2nd at 23 degrees VIRGO.

This degree is being triggered by the Partial Solar Eclipse September 13 at 20+ degrees Virgo. 

It would be good to set new intentions at this new Moon eclipse which will come into manifestation from the Source, the Sun, into the balance of the masculine and feminine in early November. I will write about a ritual for this. 

Venus has two aspects besides being Venus Lucifer the Evening or wishing star and Venus Phosphorus the Light bringer. 

Socrates and other Greek philosophers determined that there were two Aphrodite’s.

Venus, as an aspect of The Great Goddess  has many aspects and origins and her attributes change throughout history. She was originally the Semitic Queen of the Heavens, fertility and war like Godddess  Astarte or Ishtar. 

Venus/Ishtar/Astarte had major temples at Athens and Corinth which housed her sacred sexual priestesses or Heirodules. Every woman served as a Priestess in her Temples before being able to marry.  Men who had been to war came to be cleansed by have sacred sex with her Goddess representatives before being able to re-enter society.  

 

The higher, more spiritual form of love is Aphrodite Ourania, representing Celestial or spiritual love.

She was born of the severed genitals of her father. Chronos/SATURN severed his father Uranus’s genitals and threw them into the sea. This is the famous Birth of Venus formed from the sea-foam{ semen} that most of us our familiar with. Venus was born parthenogenisis from the ocean of the unconscious on a half shell, { a vulva}. Her Priestesses were also supposedly able to give birth parthenogenicaly as in the story of Mary who was also a sacred Priestess. Virgin meant an independent woman, and one who was dedicated to the goddess. Ourania also rules Astrology. This is from her ancient Babylonian origins. 

The other “lesser” Aphrodite is Venus Pandemos, meaning”of the people” Pan means across, or middle but also the God Pan. This Goddess was born from the sexual union of Zeus and the Goddess Dione, meaning a God { Dios} , spiritual love.  She presides over the love of sexuality, motherhood, family and everyday man a more human kind of love. 

Does this make sense to you to split love into two aspects? Obviously this a mind body spirit later patriarchal split. The Goddess always has a light/dark aspects. Love/ war/ birth/death.
