Now comes a pause in your Planetary Dance, a time-out for this Triangular Trio, (which will pickup and conclude on Wednesday). While you wait for this final act, there is another who steps up to claim your center stage…And Wonder of Wonders, it is Venus who has quite a show prepared…and she aims to dazzle and amaze!
It is lovely Venus now, who will take her turn, to go tripping “backwards” for a while. Yes, you have reached that special time once more when Venus pivots and turns herself around…She only does this every 20 months or so, and she will go backwards now until June 27…She does this for you, to bring to you this precious gift, this wonderful opportunity…
You will find an easing now, a clearer way to understand, to see what is in your heart…It is your time, to take some time…To look back over this path of values that you laid, that made and marked your way. It is your time to assess what is worthy, both within and what surrounds you…It is your time to clarify, to know your own self worth, so you might find that better way, to live with love on Earth.
But this time, this time it will be Different…It is a rather special arc that Venus traces, this looping dance between Earth and Sun, this time lovely Venus will put on quite a show! At the midpoint of her journey, on June 5–6 when Venus Conjuncts the Sun, it will be like a Solar Eclipse, and the world will watch with you, the wondrous beauty of her vision…the transit of Venus passing across the face of the Sun!
You had better pay attention because the next one of these will not happen until 2117! That is right…it is a rare event for Venus, Earth and Sun to form a line in the same plane, as Venus takes her retrograde trip and moves between the Earth and Sun…You do not want to miss this…
For many in the United States only part of the transit will be visible, (only Alaska and Hawaii get the whole show) but many organizations and individuals will be in place to capture and share this beautiful planetary pageant. Here is a link to see where and when the transit will be visible: Venus Transit
And here is an animation of what it will look like: Animation of Venus
But you may wonder, what of Venus and her message…what do you do when Value, Beauty and Love “go backwards”?
Much like Mercury, and he does this three times a year, this movement of Venus takes place because she is passing by Earth like a racer on the “inside track”. She makes her closest approach to Earth as she swings across the Sun!
Far from “weakening” or debilitated, Venus retrograde is Venus in Focus! There is no better time, no better opportunity for you to understand what it is exactly, this thing you call your “worth”.
This is your perfect opportunity, this time a gift for you to ask, “What is it that you possess, what do you hold that is dear?” For everything comes down to this, your relationship to yourself and to one another, to all things and all beings…it all comes down to what you find of value in yourself!
And you may know or will remember, that it changes as you grow. Because you are the ever-unfolding…you becoming more, creating more, being more than what you were before.
That through your growth you do reveal more of what you hold so dear.
For you are Spirit resplendent, Light moving from form to form…
You are The One in Love, in motion…
You are The Love becoming, unbound!
Bill,
You are saying that this Venus Retrograde period is a time for us to evaluate our self-worth? Meaning, we should spend time focusing on what we appreciate about ourselves? Because if we don’t value ourselves, then nobody else will, right?
Thanks,
C
Dear Cecilia,
Yes the relationship with your Self, to your own self-worth, of your unconditional Love of Self (and of that Self’s Love for you!) This must always be your most important relationship…That is what all the songs, and poems and stories are truly speaking of when they sing or speak of “The Beloved”…who is the Divinity at the heart of you whose love is the Fountain-Source for Love in the Universe.
