Venus Retrograde in Gemini from May 15-June 27, 2012

Venus

Is your relationship a little rocky now?  Perhaps a big ticket item is screaming at you to spend your money?  Read on!

We have a rather unusual Venus Retrograde happening for 2012, and more than enough to report to our loyal readers!  Venus has been very high and brightly visible in the northern skies – and more north than usual.  Since April 2nd, Venus is by declination “out-of-bounds” until the middle of this retrograde cycle, of which a rare astronomical event will occur:

Venus will cross the face of the Sun!

How rare?  This phenomenon happens in pairs once every century (more than a century actually), with approximately 8 years separating each pair.  In part, this is due to the 8-year Venus synodic cycle, consisting of 5 retrograde cycles, making a pentagram shape.  The first of this rare pairing happened in Gemini on June 8, 2004.  Remember what you were doing or starting around that time period and perhaps a conclusion, completion or solution could be at hand now.

On June 5-6, 2012, this will happen in Gemini again – around sunset for those in the Western United States (see map at link).  Even if Venus only appears as a speck on the Sun’s face, I can hardly wait to see NASA’s photos of this, it should be spectacular!  (I will update this blog post with a good photo at a later date for reference, in the meantime – you may see it live at slooh.com – thanks MoonCat! Astrology for the link).

Prior to this 2004-2012 pairing, the last event happened in 1882, and the next one is scheduled for 2117!  Therefore, it is most likely that we will not in our current lifetimes see this syzygy happen again!

I really like Peter Stockinger’s blog post with an excellent Traditional Astrology viewpoint on this, a summary of Venus affliction here:

“Due to her debilitated state during the conjunction to the Sun, Venus will not affect us in a positive, gentle and loving manner but she will rather test some of us to a high degree. We can expect that old relationships may come back to light and old lovers could reappear.  Past events may haunt some people and much resentment may bubble up to the surface. Domestic conflicts should be expected when old structures and patterns are broken up to be rearranged.”

I also feel this is an important and rather symbolic astrological event as well, and have some ideas of how this applies to our lives.  But first, let’s discuss each factor.

What does the Planet, Venus Rule Astrologically?

Signs of Taurus and Libra, Values, Relationships (Business and Personal), Commitment, Negotiation and Peacemaking, Contracts, Money and Material Possessions, Women, Art (especially visual, or even tactile) and Artistic Expression, Romance, Beauty, Fashion, Style, Taste (especially if sweet).

It may be mentioned that in ancient times, Venus in the Western evening sky is the Goddess of love, but while in the Eastern morning sky, she has a more “warrior” type of aspect – perhaps due to the mythological stories of her entrance to the Underworld, purifying herself by passing the 7 gates, and 8 days later (during the inferior cycle), she emerges in a more pure light – she now loves herself first, and truly this is healthy for love.  When our hearts break, they actually in reality break OPEN, and we do not need to stop loving others, but instead we need to love ourselves MORE!  Interestingly, the Mayan and Toltec mythology of Venus also resonates with warrior energy, as Venus is a male god of war (Quetzalcoatl).  When Quetzalcoatl is in the Underworld, there is a sense that one can get away with bad behavior as no one is watching.  So historically, it was thought that robberies, rape and/or other abuses were rampant at these times.  But, by the time Quetzalcoatl appeared in the Eastern sky, he is angrier than a hornets’ nest that was stirred and often exacted revenge on those who thought misbehaving would go unnoticed.  This can apply another layer of understanding on a symbolical level about Venus Retrograde cycles.

The eclipse can be a difficult time for Sag:
I suggest the following flowers: The Scarlet Pimpernel flower http://www.scarletpimpernel.com/flower.html FLOWER REMEDIES: Vervain, Wild Oat, Agrimony, Sage, Zinnia, Borage, Shasta Daisy, Larkspur, Hound's-tongue.


EMOTIONAL HEALING: These essences moderate the Sagittarian and Jupiterian tendency towards extremism and over-expansion. They foster the philosophical nature and help us to order and integrate diverse ideas. They bring mental calm and clarity, and a sense of purpose and direction in life, while enhancing the jovial qualities of the sign.At the time of the Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse; there is a mutable T-square’ aspect that involves Sun/Moon, ☞ Venus retrograde and Mars in Virgo. ☜ This symbolism suggests high-strung energy that is driving each to let go and move on. It is possible for major bickering, emotional upsets, irritations and arguments to break out over misunderstandings now.

♥x♥X♥x♥The flower of Sagittarius: X0X0X0 Scarlet pimpernel signifies constancy. Prime rose signifies “I cannot live without you”, scarlet pimpernel comes from the prime rose family and can be opted as a greeting to someone whom you love and want to say how much you want her and dreamed about looking at the sky at night packed fully with stars asking each star “do she love me as I do”. They are the ideal substitute for conveying your heartily messages to your loved one. One of the amazing facts about the scarlet pimpernel is that it is the emblem of fictional hero. The flower scarlet pimpernel is very much related to different emotions. Scarlet pimpernel articulate deep emotions as well as lets others to know and understand about it. They have a pleasant manifestation and thus diminish nervousness, panic and obsession. This makes scarlet pimpernel a good flower and accepted one inside a house.✶*♥•*´

Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius June 4th, 2012

June 2012 Full & New Moons: Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius & New Moon in Gemini

05/18/2012

June 2012 Full & New Moons: Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius & New Moon in Gemini

A full moon occurs when the transit (moving) Sun and Moon are exactly opposing one another in the zodiac. It tends to signal a time of endings, culminations, and things coming to fruition. A new moon occurs when when the transit Sun and Moon are in the exact same spot in the zodiac. It tends to signal a time of new opportunities, growth, and optimism.   



For information on how the new/full moons/eclipses may impact your sign, read my monthly horoscope.


June 4th 2012 Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius
A lunar eclipse occurs at 7:12AM ET at 14 degrees 8 minutes of Sagittarius. A Lunar Eclipse is a Full Moon with the Sun and Moon in opposite points in the zodiac and in the same signs as the lunar nodes. The effect of a lunar eclipse can span six months. In Sagittarius, this Lunar Eclipse is good for exploration and reaching out to those outside of your own little world. This eclipse is square Mars and opposite Venus, so the reaching-out-to-others bit might result in some disagreements and hurt feelings, probably because we're not being open enough to other ways of living. Keep your mind and hearts open. Oh, and this could be a difficult eclipse for legal troubles. If you're a Sagittarius Sun, Moon, or mid-Sagittarius rising, you may feel the effects of this moon most. For Sagittarians and Geminis, this is the end of the eclipses in your signs. You can breathe now! 
June 19th 2012 New Moon in Gemini
A new moon occurs at 11:02AM ET at 28 degree 43 minutes of Gemini. In Gemini, this is the second consecutive New Moon in Gemini, with last month's Solar Eclipse in early Gemini. This makes Gemini topics prominent: electronics, communications, siblings, neighbors, communities, young people, learning, short distance travel. This is a good time to join neighborhood watch, tutor a child, help an elderly neighbor, do something fun with a sibling, go for a day trip, buy a new gadget, catch up with people, take a class, or volunteer in your community. Our curiosity should be piqued, like that of a child, and we'll all want to find something new to satisfy it. If you're a Gemini Sun, Moon, or late Gemini rising, you may feels the effects of this moon most.

At the time of the Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse; there is a mutable T-square’ aspect that involves Sun/Moon, Venus retrograde and Mars in Virgo. This symbolism suggests high-strung energy that is driving each to let go and move on. It is possible for major bickering, emotional upsets, irritations and arguments to break out over misunderstandings now.

Some relationships or situations may abruptly come to an end for others, it is the final closure. It is important to be with someone who values you and make choices now that are loving towards yourself. Do your best to be forthright and honest in communication rather than sugar-coating the new or information. For some, information that is disclosed could bring major relationship upsets.

 This is not the best time to be a control freak or over analyze things as it will only increase stress and agitation.The potential is to be flexible towards letting go of perceptions and false beliefs that generate inner tension and frustrations. How do you let go of disappointments and unrealistic expectations? Realize you are responsible for your processing, perception and emotions about the issue or situation.

Reclaim your power by getting centered and realigned with your Wisdom Self/Soul. Meditation, yoga, taking a walk in Nature can all be helpful now. Relax and let go. Accept and move forward. Forgive and Heal. Allow the Lunar Eclipse to help ‘wash away the past.’  VIA http://www.thedarkpixieastrology.com/2/post/2012/05/june-2012-full-new-moons-lunar-eclipse-in-sagittarius-new-moon-in-gemini.html

For U.S. observers: Annular or ring eclipse on Sunday May 20

http://earthsky.org/space/for-u-s-observers-annular-or-ring-eclipse-sunday-may-20              Those living along a narrow track from northern California to the Texas panhandle this Sunday (May 20, 2012) will have a chance to witness a special kind of eclipse of the sun. The sky won’t turn dark, and stars won’t pop into view, because this eclipse is essentiallypartial. At no time will the moon cover the sun completely, and thus you will need to use special filters, or an indirect viewing system, to see it. At mid-ecipse, though, if you’re equipped to observe, you’ll see an awesome sight. The outer rim of the sun’s body will appear as a brilliant ring completely encircling the black moon silhouette. Hence the nameannular eclipse, from the Latin word annulus meaning ring

Keep your head up...        
                                                National parks from California to New Mexico are inviting people to watch either the partial or the annular eclipse of the sun on May 20, 2012. This eclipse is the first solar eclipse of any kind in the mainland U.S. (not including Hawaii and Alaska) in the 21st century (2001-2100). Plus the May 20, 2012 eclipse is the first time in 18 years that the moon will cross directly in front of the sun as seen from U.S. shores. A National Park near you wants to help you view it.

Kabbalah Centres around the world offer New Moon Connections

We do not study astrology so we can learn how to draw up people’s horoscopes. On the contrary, the purpose of kabbalistic astrology is to rise above the influences of the cosmos and take control over our own lives.

The Zodiac sign in which we are born transmits to us all the negative and positive traits that we will need to effect our own transformation. However, the signs of the Zodiac are not the cause of our personality traits; they are the effect. Our karma from previous lives determines which sign we need to be born under in order to acquire the necessary traits and attributes that will allow us to correct and transform previous negative activity.

The Zodiac is merely the mechanism that the soul uses to ensure that particular qualities are infused into it at birth.

The patriarch Abraham was the first kabbalistic astrologer, some 3800 years ago. He wrote a book known as Sefer Yetzira, the Book of Formation. Contained within it are all of the secrets of the universe, including the knowledge of astrology and cosmology.

As we delve into kabbalistic astrology, right away we find one significant difference between it and conventional astrology: kabbalistic astrology uses different calendars. While conventional astrology is based on the solar or Gregorian calendar, kabbalistic astrology uses the Hebrew calendar, which takes into account the positions of both the sun and the moon.

Each month, we have the ability to take control over the astrological influences of the month. Kabbalah Centres around the world offer New Moon Connections, featuring mediations and wisdom that teach you how to take control of the consciousness of that month.

Below is a brief overview of just some of the secrets contained within each month.

For a fuller discourse on the meaning of kabbalistic astrology, and how it can totally transform every facet of your life, we recommend reading Kabbalistic Astrology & the Meaning of Our Lives or signing up for Introduction to Kabbalistic Astrology on our online learning platform, Kabbalah University.
