Consulting-Divining Venus, and her/his  co-horts:

“Bareback Rider Thrills the Excited Crowd”….(=Venus-Sun conjunction, as Venus is in the Underworld, literally “occult” gathering the theatrical Medicine for culture)

“Strange White Flowers are Blooming in the Midnight Ruins of Babylon (= Neptune retrograde, “higher octave of Venus)

“Ten Logs Lie in front of an Archway Leading to Darker Woods”… (= Pluto retrograde, to remind us of the Grail Legend)

August 15, 2011
6pm PDT / 9pm EDT

All of the above are sustaining images of life’s intrepitude –
botany
Theatre
and
Fairy Tale forestry

Meanwhile Jupiter is arriving at its stationing degree of “Woman Watering Flowers,” small tenderness having a large contribution to the story. Lest we be dis-heartened by the enormity of what we all face…small, generous  ministrations will suffice to turn the tide. The efficacy of kindness to our (plant, animal, mineral) kin is giant.

Dwarf planet Ceres-Demeter has retro-graded back to last degree of zodiac – to fill up on the mythic news guiding narrative, as anti-dote to the seduction of what passes for “real” “news.”
Integrating Full Moon Aquarius-Leo ritual for well-being of the group. Light a candle – think about team-mates, enhanced capacity for connected dreaming – and prosperous well-wishing…”Don’t you be so sad and blue – you’ve got witches looking after you!”
(and fun folk counsel:”set an acorn in window to divert lightning away from home.”)

We return to our primary honoring: Venus is our invisible celebrity star preparing to emerge from Underworld of invisibility  to be the evening star circa September 23rd – December 31st…
(currently the ruler of Saturn and Jupiter)

(Future fun: Venus crosses directly in front of the sun, “inferior” conjunction only twice a century –
June 6, 2012. The next following transit will be in 2117.”

The relevant Venusian astronomical facts are as follows:

(i) five cycles of Venus orbit as seen from Earth = 5 x 583.92 = 2920 days;
(ii) eight Earth years = 8 x 365.25 = 2922 days;
(iii) thirteen cycles of Venus orbit as seen from the Sun = 13 x 224.70 = 2921 days

In other words, Venus requires 225 days to orbit the Sun as seen in a Sun-centred heliocentric perspective, but requires a somewhat longer 584 days to orbit the Sun as seen in an Earth-centred geocentric perspective; because Earth is moving in the same angular direction around the Sun as is Venus, except more slowly.
32 Venus cycles of 584 days = 52 years
(And just for fun, as Venus loves 8, s/he will exactly conjoin the Sun at 8:08 am EDT Tuesday.)

Let’s explore the mysteries of all that Venus represents. In Mayan cosmology Venus represents Quetzelcoatl, and when in the Underworld, leadership has left the world and is considering it all. Known as a time when culture must step beyond the constraints of society to re-invent leadership, customized for the tasks at hand. So let’s do that.
In Western astrology, Venus is the goddess of love, intimacy, art, honey, sweet water. So we integrate that into our invoking of wise leadership, within and without.

The facts, which we love as metaphoric guides:
From “Atlas of the Planets”: “Venus is hidden behind impenetrable clouds, never unmasking its true face…Its layer of clouds makes it impossible for astronomers to find a single spot…So Venus’ study requires imagination…The Ancients saw in Venus, as in Mercury two distinct bodies, Hesperos (evening) or Eospheros (morning).”
Venus has no satellite.
The same size as earth, while once thought to have abundant water, Venus is now perceived as having no water and an atmosphere primarily consisting of carbon dioxide. Poignantly Intriguing. Was there abundant water once, evaporated by heating and an increasing CO2 atmosphere….

Happy Birthday Social Security born Aug. 14th 1935…with Mars at 9+ Scorpio (U.S ascendant from $100 bill) = “fellowship supper reunites old comrades,” Venus at 22+ Virgo exactly conjunct the U.S. Neptune (Intended Visionary Soul of America) and Obama’s Mars….Let’s see all of our mythic selves performing tasks well. Obama as (meant to be) protector of the soul of this country, and social security clarifies as a proper American sacrament….

“on Full Moon Leo-Aquarius!”
