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
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.
