Venus, Queen of Heaven,
brightest of the visible planets, has her own magical
and mysterious cycle that repeats itself every 584
days. In August,
1999 a new Venus cycle Venus began her
40 day retrograde cycle. The Venus retrograde cycle signals the completion
of one Venus cycle and the preparation for, and the beginning of, a
new archetypal integration cycle for the world feminine principle.
On July 29, Venus stationed
retrograde at 5 Virgo. Venus then began her
5 to 7 day journey with the Sun disappearing
from the evening stage, surrendering to her own Shamanic death
process. On August 20 Venus conjuncted the
Sun (interior conjunction at 27 Leo) in the personal underworld
death, metamorphisis and preparation for rebirth near
the fixed star Regulus,
the heart of the lion. This conjunction symbolizes the complete
Shamanic death of Venus as she prepares for her rebirth into her next
expression of the feminine. The rebirth occurred
on or near August 25, when Venus (24 Leo)
made her dramatic grand re-appearance popping
up in the east just before Sunrise. This event mared
the beginning of the new Venus cycle integrating the Leo mysteries into
the collective feminine psyche of humanity for the next 584 days.
The previous Venus
cycle was working with the Capricorn mysteries and began in January
1998. The As Above Venus journey in Capricorn reminded us to reinvent
our concepts of work and play, or how work relates to play. At The Turning
Of The Ages the Capricorn Mysteries are also helping us to rewrite the
operating manual for life that includes an earthy, organic connection
to having fun, while responsibly administrating life. I suggested that
the new manual includes how to completely enjoy our creation, and how
to create our reality in such a way that our basic human needs are met
easily, abundantly, and joyously. This includes having fun while we
are artfully and efficiently administrating our personal and worldly
domain for the benefit of the next several generations to follow. The
Capricorn Venus journey was setting an essential foundation for the
exploration of the mysteries now emerging.
Venus in Leo explores
the pure essence of our divine nature. This pure love of Self radiates
inspiration for all without holding back. It is much like the life giving
light of the Sun that continuously shines in the Great Above, even when
we can�t see it because it is behind the clouds or it has set for the
night. In our recorded past and current times Leo is represented by
the King/Queen or Super Star viewed through the lens of hierarchy. This
is the shadow expression of Leo that says "I am God and you are not."
Or "I am special and you are not." However, the pure essence of Leo
knows that everyone is a divine being, and no one is more or less important
than anyone else. Even the Super Star steps off center stage at times
to allow others to play their roles in the spotlight. Leo knows that
the starring leading role is only an essential part of the greater whole
and without the supporting roles the whole is not complete and therefore
without all the roles being fulfilled they are not complete either.
The feminine journey
in Leo calls us to remember the Goddesses that have served as Queen,
such as Isis, Lilith, Ishtar, Innana, Hera, Juno, Bodicca, Persephone,
Casseopia, Morrigan, Rhiannon, Hecate, and many others. Their stories
provide clues about the Leo mysteries and how to work with them consciously
evolving them towards their next expression. A good Queen wisely serves
her all people as a role model of self-love and self-confidence, empowering
all those she encounters.
It is not important
to know exactly how the Leo Mysteries are intended to emerge through
Venus at this time. It is important to know the questions to ask, because
when we are asking the right questions the right answers have an opportunity
to find their form. Here are some possible questions Venus in Leo might
ask. How do we truly, whole-heartedly love ourselves on every level?
How do we remember that we are divine expressions of being and know
it fully in our bodies? How do we truly remember that we are the Ancient
and Shining Ones carrying the codes of radical radiant self-love and
self-confidence in our DNA? How do we manifest these codes in our everyday
reality for our greatest good? How do we open our hearts to the expressions
of pure love within us? In other words, how do we consciously co-create
fully living in, and enjoying, the next Golden Age?
When Venus
is integrating in Leo we have a collective
opportunity for each of us to connect with the answers to these and
other questions that help us to remember and live consciously from our
pure divine essence. This raises our personal and collective frequencies
to support our expanding awareness of our true selves. It is important
to remember that all of the beliefs and patterns not in alignment with
this intent will come up for clearing and transformation. During this
process it may be challenging to feel there is any progress or self
love happening. Trust the process, surrender, and follow your inner
guidance. Commit to actions that support the experience of self-love.
This might be taking some time for yourself, a trip that inspires you,
a day in nature, going to a movie, a creative pursuit in an area that
excites your passion, or any other activities that create the experience
of feeling loving towards yourself.
In the book P�taah
The Gift by Jani King P�taah says, Fear has come about in your forgetting
who you are. You have forgotten that who you really are is an aspect
of the God-Goddess expressing Itself, however that may be, in the vibrancy
of this reality. There is no such thing as releasing fear or hiding
from it. Fear is valid. There is nothing wrong with fear. It is the
polarity of LOVE. The way to transform fear is to step into it, to embrace
it. You may picture fear as the child within you who is terrified of
being unworthy of love, joy, abundance and laughter, doomed to abandonment,
dying of a broken heart. As you hold the child to your heart say: "Beloved
of my heart, I love you with every part of my being. You are not alone.
We live in a safe universe, you and I, and together we are going home."
Thusly, you transform the fear to LOVE. Blessed Be!
