Are you called to connect with Venus more deeply? She isn’t just a mythological love goddess, she is the Divine Feminine herself. Is she calling you? Venus Scorpio portal is opening October 3rd and for approximately 40 days she will cycle in the heavens from Evening Star to invisible and then rise as Morning Star. You can embody this process by watching her in the sky as well as doing soul work to receive her transmission.
Oct 3rd Retrograde in Scorpio
Today OCT 3rd, is the day to begin a personal practice journeying with Venus as she descends into the darkness of her retrograde cycle preparing to meet with the Sun at 00 degrees Scorpio on OCT 24 .
This is a time of “going inward” and setting intentions for the areas of life that Venus affects – creativity, relations and what we value.
Venus in retrograde causes bumps in these areas so its best to go inward and slow down at this time, becoming more contemplative, fully feeling the Autumn energy and mirroring Venus’ path.
After Venus is said to be with the Sun “in the heart of the Sun,” on OCT 24, she will rise a warrior goddess as Morning Star on OCT 29 and move forward on a new path when she is Direct NOV 14.
Venus is beginning her journey as Evening Star and when she rises, she will be the warrior Morning Star.
Right now, Venus is in retrograde at 8 degrees Scorpio, and this is the last time for about 100 years as Venus is shifting to Libra.
Venus makes a 5 pointed star in the sky as she goes through her retrograde cycle over an 8 year period. Each of these “points” occurs in a zodiac sign that correlates with your natal and transit astrology chart.
Venus affects our creativity, relationships and what we value. Journey with her for the next 40 days with practices that reflect her energy of withdrawing and then rising.
Meditation, contemplation, watching Venus in the sky, correlating Venus’ journey with that of the goddess Inanna who travelled to the Underworld, passing through 7 gates which can be activated by doing chakra meditations.
For now, practice deep breathing and grounding, surrendering to the energy of Venus and season.
I will be sharing posts as I journey with Venus through this Venus Scorpio retrograde. I’ll be posting again on OCT 19 when Venus sets as Evening Star and her energy changes, going deeper.
