Did you feel the Skidmarks?
Venus is currently Retrograde in Leo. The Goddess of Love, beauty and money started her Retrograde in Virgo on Sept 28 (at 3′ Virgo) and will continue to back through Leo until Sept 9th when she changes directions again.
Today she joins up with Saturn at 28′ Leo, both of them trining Pluto. This is one intense combo, and could leave many of us feeling the adrenaline of a ‘near miss’ collision. Here’s a little first- hand example for you: I am a Taurus which means that I am ruled by Venus and this current cycle has caused a lot of unexpected ‘stuff’ to happen.
Right now, and for the last week my back has been out – specifically my neck which is the ‘Venus Center’. I have had 4 adjustments in a week. As Venus was changing directions, I personally followed her course much like a boomerang through the sky. On the 25th – just as she was slowing down – I got on a plane for England (unexpectedly). She Turned Retrograde on the 28th, and then on August 2nd – just as she was speeding up again – I returned to California.
I tell this story to illustrate how the movements of the planets can be used to support our goals and plans. The One-Two Saturn punch that is hitting today is no fun – but at least we are done with this leg of it by the middle of next week. Possible places you may have felt the impact of Venus: finances, your credit rating, art and possessions, self-image, anything you consider of value or important, self-expression, hormone levels, creativity and anything connected to the throat, neck, thyroid (metabolism) and ‘venus center’.
The ‘Venus De Milo’ by Michaelangelo, pictured above was clearly hit hard by Saturn sometime in the past. Fortunately you and I will make out with all of our limbs intact! So, if you are also reeling from the skidmarks Venus has left in your neighborhood, you are not alone and it will ease up sooner than later. By the end of the week we should all be able to breath more easily.
