As Venus prepares to leave her home sign of Libra, there is an offering, a gentle caress and a numinous kiss imparted by her higher octave, the lord of dreams…Neptune.
Venus, the ruler of value, beauty and love is about to move into the deeper spaces of Scorpio, beyond mere relationship, into the mystery that is the union with one’s beloved. Perhaps to prepare the way, to lift that veil between self and the other, Neptune brushes Venus now with whispers of wonder, with inspiration from beyond more limiting experiences, reaching towards the greater realms of self-affirming yet self-transcending love.
For true love is founded upon this greater reality that Neptune abides in, that all of creation, all life and all of space, is held together as ones of the One from which and through which all are related.
You have always looked into the eyes of the beloved with your awareness centered in your personal self, (with your Venus). And, you will always find your treasure is before you, that the beloved is something to be desired, is needed and loved in that personal way.
But at the same time, on a more ineffable plane of experience, your true, eternal soul-self pierces beyond these shadowed glories, beyond these lesser forms, because it beholds the star that shines within…and it is that same star that shines within you and you and you.
This revelation, this Neptunian vision, is the self-transcending love which binds this entire cosmos together; it gathers, holds and leads you onward in the one great life that is your journey in Life-Consciousness-Spirit.
And as you journey, upon the starry arc of descent and ascent, you will always seek and ever find the reflected, lesser cousin of everlasting love in the eyes of the beloved before you…and you will know, and you will smile…because it is so very, very good to feel…Love.
