Venus in Aries Archetypal Integration from April 3, 2009 to Nov 4, 2010
March 31st, 2009
The archetypal expression that most describes Venus in Aries is the Warrior Amazon. However, back in 1995 a primary archetype Shamanic Astrology connected to Aries was the Wild Woman. What follows is an article I wrote in 2001 at the last Venus in Aries Cycle describing the essence of the Wild Woman. As a Venus in Aries person myself I found myself identifying with the Wild Woman then and perhaps even more so now eight years later. Here is what I wrote then….
The definition of Wild in the case of the Wild Woman means: a natural, unrestrained life or state; occurring, growing or living in a natural state; intensely enthusiastic; amazing or extraordinary. The healthy Wild Woman lives from a place of pure innocence and knowing, unrestrained by the limiting rules and judgments of the current culture. She knows when she is connected to her inner sense of self or her true self, and from this place she spontaneously acts in a natural and supportive way.

Jupiter moved into the sign of Aquarius on January 5 and will remain in Aquarius until January 19, 2010. In some cultures, Jupiter was known as the “year star” since it took almost exactly a year to move through a sign or constellation. It is interesting to note that the original Chinese calendar was based on the movement of Jupiter through the 12 constellations along the Celestial Equator (or where the Earth’s Equator is located in Space). In Shamanic Astrology, Jupiter activates and expands anything it contacts and by sign is illuminating the year’s leading edge for Global Humanity.
June, 2008 featured an intriguingly significant Venus Sun conjunction that marked the exact half way point between the June 2004 and the June 2012 Venus transits over the face of the Sun. The initiatory energy that was activated in June 2004 underwent a deepening on June 8 when Venus met with the Sun in the exact area of the sky where the 2004 transit/initiation occurred exactly four years after the first transit and four years until the next transit. This half way point however found Venus on the other side of the Sun (or behind the Sun from the Earth’s perspective) and out of view for about 75 days and re-emerged into the evening sky around July 15.
