Tonight and tomor­row you stand at the cen­ter of two revelations.

When your star­ry com­pan­ions are aligned so that you on Earth are between them, that align­ment is called an Oppo­si­tion. Each phase or step in these cycles of “Growth through Rela­tion­ship”, (which is real­ly what your Spir­i­tu­al jour­ney and Astrol­o­gy is all about), is impor­tant for you to under­stand and mas­ter. But the oppo­si­tion stands out as that sig­na­ture step when the mean­ing and mes­sage of that par­tic­u­lar rela­tion­ship will be revealed to you most clearly.

The cycle of any two bod­ies begins with their con­junc­tion with one anoth­er (which is best exem­pli­fied in the arche­typ­al exam­ple of a New Moon). Then as the two bod­ies move apart in their cycle of rela­tion­ship, they form a series of angu­lar sep­a­ra­tions (which Astrologers call “aspects”) along the arc of their orbital paths, formed along a cir­cle of spa­tial rela­tion­ship mea­sured out by 360 degrees. They move apart and then return to start a new cycle, and dur­ing their jour­ney form many degrees of sep­a­ra­tion from one anoth­er, yet four prin­ci­pal moments stand out along their path with one anoth­er. From O° or the con­junc­tion, they move out to the “First Quar­ter” or Wax­ing Square aspect of 90°, then to the “Full Moon” or Oppo­si­tion of 180°, then to the “Last Quar­ter” or Wan­ing Square of 270°, and then back to their next Con­junc­tion at 0°.

The Sun, Moon and Plan­ets are Avatars of Wis­dom who wheel around and offer their mes­sages to you, and they are there to teach and guide you as they bear wit­ness for you of the fun­da­men­tal truths you are here to mas­ter. Their Dance of Spir­it through the heav­ens illus­trate the Lessons of Spir­i­tu­al Life you are here to under­stand and learn to live by. They are your stal­wart com­pan­ions, and they are there to show you “The Way”, for you here to learn to live your life aligned with the Spir­i­tu­al Core that abides with­in you, as you will equal­ly find and see that same Spir­it inform­ing each and every mote and speck of Cre­ation too.

Thrilling through you and every moon, plan­et and star, is the Fun­da­men­tal Ener­gy-Sub­stance of this whole Cre­ation which is the One, it is Life-Con­scious­ness-Spir­it. All of this Cre­ation is this One Spir­it in Evo­lu­tion, all of these lives and life-forms are Spir­it as Becom­ing, all are embod­i­ments of the Con­scious­ness that is Spir­it. Quite sim­ply put, you are here to learn and become a ful­ly con­scious co-cre­ator of this Cre­ation, to achieve self-mas­tery in and through your many lives, as you sojourn here upon this beau­ti­ful realm you call your home, your beloved Earth.

Tonight and tomor­row, two rev­e­la­tions are offered to you once again (for these lessons of life require that you meet, solve and inte­grate them again and again). They can and should be seen as real­ly one mes­sage, but let us look at them sep­a­rate­ly, then see how to hold them as they are in fact, for they form a greater truth when held togeth­er as one.

The oppo­si­tion of Venus and Sat­urn comes every year, and pos­es to you what can be at times one of your most painful of moments of real­iza­tion, yet, as it is in these bal­ance-beam­ing ways of Truth, this rev­e­la­tion also con­tains the promise and reminder of your true, abid­ing source of ever­last­ing joy.

Venus is your Avatar of Val­ue and Worth, which is ulti­mate­ly to be found and held by the core of you by and in your Foun­tain-Source of Truth. This Truth is that you are a spe­cial, pre­cious Spark of the Divine. In Truth your essence, which is your Val­ue or Worth, and is ulti­mate­ly known to you as Love is beyond mea­sure. Yet, at any one point in your jour­ney of self-unfold­men­t/­self-becom­ing, what you have so far real­ized and made man­i­fest of this abid­ing truth is often much, much less, and it is this divide which brings about your pain and feel­ings of loss, for this is how and why you face what is seem­ing­ly a lack of love in your life

For though at your core you are filled with a bound­less love, your expe­ri­ence or man­i­fes­ta­tion of your worth and love in this mate­r­i­al world is cir­cum­scribed by the var­ied stages of unfold­ment of your oth­er “vehi­cles” or souls. The whole pur­pose of your self-unfold­ment is to raise up your Men­tal, Emo­tion­al and even Phys­i­cal Bod­ies or Souls so that they become the ade­quate con­tain­ers and expres­sions of the True Val­ue and Love which you are at your core. But this takes a very long time indeed. Many, many Lives and Worlds must you pass through to mas­ter your­self, for you have to learn to choose what is wis­er and more lov­ing, and so be guid­ed by your Inner Flame to become out­ward­ly what your high­er Self or Beloved is and will always be…and you will then be a Wise, Lov­ing and Free Spark of the Divine.

Sat­urn is the Avatar of Real­i­ty, and for you rep­re­sents what you have so far real­ized and embod­ied of your High­er Essence into those var­ied vehi­cles of Self-Deter­mi­na­tion. You can and will even­tu­al­ly be out­ward­ly what you are inward­ly, but until you have fin­ished your human jour­ney you will be lim­it­ed in your forms of Self-Real­iza­tion, you will have moments when you doubt your worth, you will at times expe­ri­ence that most painful of Illu­sions that you are with­out or lack­ing in Love.

This Oppo­si­tion of Venus and Sat­urn brings to bear this expe­ri­ence of the divide between your Divine Lov­ing nature and your less than per­fect embod­i­ment of the ines­timable Val­ue and Love that you are. Whether you are expe­ri­enc­ing a dis­ap­point­ment in another’s expres­sion of love for you, or they feel that same lack from you, what you both need at a time such as this is to look beyond and behind these Veils of Mat­ter that you attempt to reach one anoth­er through. You need to believe in, know of and act with the Love that is at the core of both of you, always. Nev­er more so than when you feel as if the oth­er has let you down, or you have done so by them. You need to reach deeply with­in to the uncon­di­tion­al love that is your high­er self, and then bring as much of that out­wards and bestow it upon your low­er self, and then equal­ly shine and share it with your beloved who stands before you too.

Whether by a fail­ure of Omis­sion or Com­mis­sion, whether one or both of you feel that you have been wronged, you need to acknowl­edge and accept that you are both a “work in progress”, that you both car­ry doubts, wounds and fears that are the echoes of your past lives as well as of ear­li­er errors made in this present one, and that these dark shad­ows can thwart your expe­ri­ence of one anoth­er today.

Yes, the form of your rela­tion­ship, the qual­i­ty of your love for one anoth­er is lim­it­ed in this time and place, for you and they are not yet what you will some­day become and be. But the only way you will reach it, soon­er than lat­er, is by hold­ing to the eter­nal truths of your inher­ent Divin­i­ty so that you will stay upon the path of Truth and Love. For what you each have that has drawn you to one anoth­er again is of the One. When you look beyond the bod­ies and appear­ances of one anoth­er, when you see “that pres­ence” look­ing back at you there in their eyes, you will know and remem­ber and smile. You need to real­ize it is that, this Divine Love which has and will always bring you back togeth­er, again and again, until you “get it right”. That you need to keep to this Path of Love that is the only way home…and to do this you need to For­give one anoth­er and be that Love with all your might.

Love your­self…

Love one another.

For you are Beautiful,

And so is your beloved.

You are Divini­ties who are Awakening.

You are Love. They are Love.

Love one Another.
