       It is interesting to know that Venus went direct Wednesday, June 27 at 7 degrees Gemini and is moving forward very slowly and it will take until July 31st for Venus to move fully out of the retrograde cycle.

      
       We  are now in the shadow phase of the Venus retrograde cycle. This will be challenging but there is potential for healing and understanding in our relationships and our relationship to love and what we want in our life. When it turns direct it again travels over the same section of the zodiac from 7 degrees to 24 degrees of Gemini.  What this means is that there is tendency for us to need to go over the issues again that occurred when Venus went retrograde on May 15^th

        It is also possible that during the shadow phase of the Venus retrograde cycle we can direct our communicating to deeper place by sharing what we truly want to have in our relationships. With Venus in Gemini, you may want to talk and work out any of the difficulties you have been having in your relationships. Therefore it is important to be objective and learn to see others’ points of view.

To understand this we can look at where Venus is placed in our charts. This will indicate our relationship styles and what we want in our partnerships.

         During a retrograde phase, we journey inwards to reflect, revise and review. With Venus retrograde we have been reflecting on our current and possibly past relationships. You have also have considered your self-worth, accepted and affirmed your unconditional love for yourself.  And you have also reviewed, examined and re-connected to those values that are true and lasting for you, the very values that make life meaningful to you.

It is time to accept and affirm:

I am valuable because I am valued. I am loveable because I am love

        Also on Monday, June 25^th, Saturn “the lord of the rings “became direct and it is time to make real your reality.  It’s been retrograde or moving backwards since February 7^th. Saturn retrograde is a time when we rethink our plans and projects. Now that Saturn is moving forward again, we can also move forward with whatever new plans and projects that we may have created during this period.

During the period when Saturn is transiting retrograde, it is essential that we go back and reassess projects started and responsibilities undertaken in the past. Saturn turning retrograde gives us the opportunity to go back and reorganize or renegotiate any activities or commitments that seem to be a source of frustration.

With Saturn moving forward, it’s easier to see what needs to be done and how to do it.

During the past five months, it may have felt as if life, relationships, career, and financial growth had been moving at the speed of a turtle. This was a time for learning lessons of hard work and discipline. If we persisted with determination, despite hardships, by becoming our on master and rebuilding foundation, then we will finally begin to pay off in the weeks and months ahead.
With Saturn still in Libra, if you want to change your experience of relationship, the key is to realize that you must change your patterning which will change all your existing relationships as well as lead to new growth and opportunities in your relationships.
Your growth in self-understanding can only become real through a balanced, affirmed and wise relationship to Spirit will bring you a greater realization of yourself as being part of something greater.

Become your Lord of Reality

Become your Spiritual Teacher

Accept the truth, that we are all one

Say the Ancient Sacred words. "I am That, I am!"

 

        Now for the good news! We have great aspects cycles that are terrific for communications,

with Mercury sextile Jupiter, Mercury sextile Venus, Venus sextile Uranus, and Mercury trine Uranus. These cycles bring multiple opportunities for making unexpected money, having fun, exploring, and enjoying travel. They’re also terrific for all types of communications, including launching a web site, sending out email announcements, training, entertaining, or making presentations. This combination is also exceptional for introducing new or unusual ideas. The emphasis on Mercury will focus on socializing and having a good time this holiday weekend and will continue until July 8.

 New Moon: 29 Degrees of Gemini 

According to astrologers, the last degree of a sign is a ‘karmic’ degree

     WE are in the Sign of Cancer: The personal feeling sign. This can give us the opportunity to slow down be receptive, intuitive, nurture ourselves, and be with family and friends.

     I woke up this morning contemplate the concept of Astrology study of cycle. Then the metaphor of bicycles came into my mind. Cycles, cycles, cycles: Astrology is like riding a bicycle.  Life is about change and movement. Sometimes we even come back to the same issue and we need tissues and support. The sign Cancer is about integrating what we learning in Gemini.

It is important to look at the location of where The New Moon on June 19^th at the 28- 29 degree Gemini  falls in your personal chart and any aspect contacts to that degree or to Mercury's position of 21 degrees of Cancer will allow you to see how you can personally direct the energy in your own life.  With this second New Moon in Gemini this year, we have a Mercury theme again. Mercury shares a mutual reception with the Moon which disposits all planets except for Neptune, Mercury's

position is in a dynamic aspect to Saturn, so structure and responsibility will be a part of that picture. The New Moon is also in a positive aspect with Neptune and Saturn. Not the time for making quick decisions, but rather it is a healing time to go within and find inner peace and clarity.
It is interesting to note that this New Moon is special because it lands on the degree that astrologers consider anaretic.  According to astrologers, the last degree of a sign is a ‘karmic’ degree and represents the culmination of the signs energy.  In this case, the lesson involves the sign of Gemini which involves communication, how we learn, and how we make use of the knowledge we acquire.  In addition, since this is the 2^nd New Moon in Gemini we are granted a second chance to go back to the past and correct anything we may have missed at the solar eclipse.   Once again the New Moon aspects the planet Neptune, yet this aspect is a favorable aspect rather than an unfavorable one.  Rather than our seeking externals to make us feel better about ourselves we can use the aspect in a creative way by tapping into our own spiritual core. 

June 20 the Sun enters Cancer, at precisely 4:09 p.m. PDT known as summer solstice. This is a time of celebration, officially bringing us out of hibernation. The June intensity continues with the Summer Solstice (Sun entering the sign of Cancer) on June 20. Three close (less than 1 degree orb) totally unrelated squares dominate the chart: Mercury in Cancer square Saturn in Libra highlights our personal interaction with outer world responsibilities; Jupiter in Gemini square Neptune in Pisces outlines how the growth of the higher aspect of society enables a spiritual component to world affairs; and Uranus in Aries square Pluto in Capricorn challenges a total, unexpected transformation to the world. These squares are primarily made up of non-personal planets, and so may be embodied by issues in the outer, less than personal world. As such, we may feel overwhelmed by many issues demanding our attention. However, we still need to put our personal issues ahead of non-personal ones. This is not the time for self-sacrifice, but a contribution to the tipping point, as described in the story of the Hundredth Human, by Cris Fenwick.

This New Moon is special because it lands on the 29 degree that astrologers consider anaretic.  According to astrologers, the last degree of a sign is a ‘karmic’ degree and represents the culmination of the signs energy.  In this case, the lesson involves the sign of Gemini which involves communication, how we learn, and how we make use of the knowledge we acquire.  In addition, since this is the 2^nd New Moon in Gemini we are granted a second chance to go back to the past and correct anything we may have missed at the solar eclipse.   Once again the New Moon aspects the planet Neptune, yet this aspect is a favorable aspect rather than an unfavorable one.  Rather than our seeking externals to make us feel better about ourselves we can use the aspect in a creative way by tapping into our own spiritual core. 

Let us not forget the Venus retrograde cycle. Speaking about the Venus Transit, astrologer Roxana Muise writes about the retrograde shadow as the “subsycle”, because Venus and Mercury Transits are inferior conjunctions, they always occur when the planet is retrograde. Being retrograde, it is in the second section of the three times they travel over one section of the zodiac. I call the subcycle the retrograde shadow. The retrograde shadow normally begins with a planet passing the degree at which it will turn direct. When the planet turns retrograde it travels through that section of the zodiac in retrograde motion. When it turns direct it again travels over the same section of the zodiac for the third time”. This means that there is tendency for us to need to go over the issues again that occurred when Venus went retrograde on May 16^th – and June 28^th when Venus goes direct.  “When the inner planet makes a Transit (that is at the same longitude and the same declination passing in front of the Sun) it is at the midpoint of the shadow cycle. Most astrologers recognize a midpoint as a very powerful position. This may give you more perspective about an inner planet Transit. It is also referred to as an occultation, which is also the definition of an eclipse. This Venus Transit is part of the process of conscious-raising, and could be called the midpoint of the 2012 shift”

It is important to fill out your New Moon Abundance Checks this month, with  Venus going direct on June 28^th and will start to bring out into the open better social connections. Venus represents love, desire, how and what we want in life. And starting on the 28th of June we can heal the issues, people and situations when Venus started to be retrograde on May 16th.

Transit of Venus: June 5 or 6 2012

Transit of Venus: Embracing the “Solar Feminine” 

June 5th and 6th 2012

     Venus and the Sun form a conjunction, called a transit of Venus. Venus and the Sun align about once a year -- though this one is different due to the fact that Venus will not pass above or below the Sun but rather directly cross its path. This is called a transit of Venus. This transit is considered one of the most rare predictable astronomical events, transits of Venus arrive in pairs separated by eight years; the pairs themselves are divided by more than a century.

     We most recently experienced a transit of Venus on June 8th 2004. The June 5th transit of Venus may be related to something that you experienced or a phase of your life that began eight years ago. The world will not experience another transit of Venus until 2117, 105 years from now.

     This transit of Venus is extra special because of a number of other astrological events. We have the strongest influence in over a generation with Uranus square Pluto on June 24. There is the June 4 Lunar Eclipse just a day before, and Venus is retrograde conjunct minor planet Chaos, and square Mars.

How the Transit of Venus Affects Us

     The influence of Sun conjunct Venus usually make us charismatic, charming, and lovers not fighters but with Venus Retrograde  our love lives enter a fated period where we may relive past life experiences in order to sort out karmic issues. Old friends or lovers may reappear and there may be more difficulty in giving and receiving love and affection.

     With Venus and Sun square Mars will create anger and resentment, we won’t put up with any more crap in our relationships. There will also be a tendency for our love nature to be intensified by the Sun. We will be much more in need of love and affection, and also wanting to express love to those close to us, who we most care about.

Astrologer Eric Francis of http://planetwaves.net/pagetwo/  writers about the “momentum associated with this event has been building for eight years, though we crossed the first immediate release point about two weeks ago with the solar eclipse in the first degree of Gemini. And then on Monday, June 4th  there was the corresponding eclipse of the Moon in Sagittarius (eclipses generally come in pairs, solar and lunar).

Let us open our hearts, minds, and souls more deeply to listen to the wisdom of the Goddess of love Venus. Let's open ourselves to unity, to community, to communicating with the cosmos, with each other everywhere, with spirit, and with our own deepest and best selves

     I suggest that we direct that energy of eros by writing poetry, songs, paintings or making collogues. For more information on the Venus Transit read astrologer David Tresemer, book on the transit of Venus : http://astore.amazon.com/fourhares-20/detail/158420074X

     Let's take the developments individually. The lunar eclipse describes a point of differentiation, where we can see beyond the past and beyond the shadowy levels of our psyche. An eclipse in Sagittarius is a critique of the role of religion and the way that it dominates nearly all of people's personal cosmology. It's an opportunity to forget everything you were told was true about God, the universe and everything, and make some observations of your own. What you were told to believe does not matter. What you observe to be true, or aspire to, matters entirely.”The transit of Venus presents us with a compelling metaphor and also a moment of transition. It is a time where we can look within and make a conscious choice to form a more conscious inner reunion a between the masculine and feminine elements of ourselves. It is important to understand that awareness to involve the balancing of male and female energies.

     Venus is a feminine symbol and the Sun a masculine one. When Venus intersects with the disk of the Sun, it's a little like the Sun is being penetrated by potent feminine energy. Both will change in the process. The astrologer Adam Gainsburg (Soulsign.com) has described this as the emergence of what he calls the solar feminine.

     With the transit of Venus, Gainsburg said, "What becomes illuminated is how your feminine aspect self-radiates into the world -- what you uniquely have to give to the improvement of our planet. The solar feminine is, literally, our 'light body'. She's the one inside each of us who leaves nothing uncovered, nothing unfelt. We experience the full range of our actual feelings as her body." Yet the Sun is expressive, so this is about being moved to take creative action.

     "The Solar feminine is a confrontational idea for many religions because her very existence fundamentally challenges the fragmentary, long-held assumption of masculine spiritual superiority. By re-acknowledging her, we begin to re-empower her. The solar feminine shines not just through the success and expression of women, but through the power of a man's emotions received in his heart." Adam Gainburg may be describing is a process of men becoming more receptive to their feeling nature and women becoming more expressive and actively involved in changing the world.
