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.
This July 26, 2007 Venus stationed retrograde at 3 Virgo. Venus then began her 5 to 7 day journey with the Sun as Venus disappears from the evening stage on Aug 12,2007, surrendering to her own Shamanic death process. On August 18, 2007 Venus conjuncted the Sun (interior conjunction at 25 Leo) in the personal underworld death, metamorphosis 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. This rebirth occurred on or near August 24, when Venus (21 Leo) made her dramatic grand re-appearance popping up above the Eastern horizon just before Sunrise. This event marked 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 2006. 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, Inanna, 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: <em>”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.
