The background energy framing this last Venus transit is the upcoming square between the revolutionary and evolutionary energies of the 60s. With revolutionary Uranus challenging Pluto's transformative energy, pushing for more real societal change, we could fall into violence and mob psychology (Neptune in Pisces is another energy framing this time) if we stay unconscious and ignore Venus's mythical and mystical powers of Love and Peace. But since Venus and the Sun in Gemini are in a rare aspect with Neptune in Pisces which promotes self-knowledge, interior analysis, and the search for wisdom, I think we'll be inspired with new vision, promoting peaceful revolution rather than violence. With Venus, we have to recognize that one of the forms of peaceful revolution comes through the Arts, which can change people's minds quicker than arguments.
The Strength tarot card, which combines solar imagery (Lion) with Venusian (woman), reveals that we have to tame, not kill, our passions with Love and Courage. If we want to fulfill the promise of the cosmic story of a renewed Earth, we have to live it now. We cannot attain transformation with violence anymore. It won't work. What we can do is let the Lady have her say. This Lady is the Sophia, Wisdom, the gift of feminine consciousness. She is Venus/Aprhodite, traversing the face of the Sun, making us conscious of the fact that her energy can stand before the light of consciousness. Love is the only logic left to us.
On a
concrete level, this Venus transit can prompt us to really think about how we
feel about ourselves and others, entice us to love ourselves as we unconsciously
did as children, and re-categorize how we understand life's experiences. Venus/Aphrodite inspires us to feel our love
and joy of life rise up without restraint.
Once you really see your original Self and love her/him, hold that image
in your consciousness so it becomes the new basis of your self-worth, another Venus
gift that needs re-defining. When we realize that our real value lies in our strength
of character and our connection with Spirit, rather than with the external accumulation
of power and wealth, we will have peace (yet another gift of this goddess of
Beauty, Love and Wisdom).
Venus retrograde (connecting within) then visible by the Sun reminds us that Love and Peace start in our own hearts. The Cosmic Story of the Venus transit would have us believe in the power of Conscious Love, because Love will bring us Wisdom. And Wisdom can find her way through the darkness ahead to a new Birth for our world.
