Your love returns for her annual reality
check. And though it oftentimes hurts, (oh yes it does, for this can be a time
when love may seem wanting), this too is part of your journey as you question, re-discover,
re-affirm and learn to express your true boundless, fountain-source of value,
that true and eternal source of love that is the bright burning core of you.
Actually, this reality check happens four
times per year as Venus and Saturn line up in a “challenging” aspect
to one another…but this alignment is the most important of these four
turnings. Why? Because this is the beginning of the Venus-Saturn cycle, sort of
like a “New Moon” for your Love and Reality, (and though it is nice
to wish and dream and fantasize about beauty and love in your world, when it
comes down to it, here on Earth that it is, you really need it to be Real,
don’t you!).
Venus is the bearer of the energy that
links each and every part of your creation with every other part. She is the
veil behind which sings the Song of Creation itself, a melody which rang out
from the moment of that first, wondrous breath at the Beginning of the One. That
was when this universe went from non-being into this spiral journey of Becoming and it
is Venus who embodies this force which holds together all the ones who come
from that One…and you know and feel this as Love. This is what lies at the
core of you, this spark of Divine essence, and it is that which keeps you and
connects you to all of Creation through all the ages…
Saturn is the bearer of forms, the
realities you and everyone else make for your self-realization, and these are your
experiences that you must work in and through to become anything on this
physical plane of Earth. The most precious part of this reality-making you form
for yourself is the vehicle or experience of relationship with one another,
your sharing and caring for each other…by your Loving one another. Saturn
demands that the Dream, the Idea, the Essence of Love become real and
substantial as manifested forms of Love of and for one another.
But, as ever with Saturn, the teacher
and tester, there will come the shadows too, because the forms you and the
other made were imperfect, because you are not yet what you will be. The fears
that fall upon you are from your past and your prior attempts of love cast a
broken light upon your present dreams for a better love today. Your fears spill
forward into the present and the true, abiding and boundless love you hold
within you is unable to escape those shadows…and the love you seek to express
is less than it was to be.
Saturn forces you to re-examine, to look
within your shadowed past, to see what lessons you have learned and mastered,
to see how well you have come to know and love yourself. For it is only by
approaching more closely the truth that lies at the heart of you, only by
finding and feeling that source of unconditional love that resides within you,
it is only when you can hear that Song of Creation within your own heart, only then will you come to find the love you seek “out there”.
That is why Saturn brings this feeling
of loss or the lack of love, of a lesser love or being unloved. Not because it
is true (for you are loved forever and always), but in order for you to feel
that pain, to come to know that this cannot be true, that it is not
“real”. So you will seek even harder, you will go even deeper to
secure the underlying, undying reality of the love that is at the core of you.
Venus meets with Saturn tonight, Beauty
and the Beast begin a new journey together, and it is all about your circuitous
journey to the heart of you, to the source of Light and Love that is within
you, ever and always…The source of Love is within you, surrounds you and illuminates all of Creation too!
Closer, you draw to that light within…
Those shadows…will fade, fade away.
A better world awaits your heart…the dawning of brighter days.
As you draw nearer…to your love…
To the first, that sweetest song of songs…
Love’s sweet melody…
Your Creation Song!
