“Only Divine Love bestows the keys of knowledge.”
Arthur Rimbaud
…the first time I experienced this “Divine Love” I was in a canoe. I was paddling in the tributaries of the Cape Fear river and I had a moment of divine clarity. It was simple. It came from the ripple of my paddle. I realized how beauty, love, and God were totally ubiquitous. I realized it was everywhere, just as long as I was receptive to see it. I realized I didn’t need a lover to experience it. Nor do I need any substance to be sensitive to it. All I needed was an open heart. Currently, Venus is in Pisces, in a three way embrace (or a triple conjunction) with Neptune and Chiron. I feel these three planetary Archetypes are trying to teach us something about this “Divine love” Rimbaud was speaking of.
the Triple treat:
Venus is the planet of Love, Beauty, and Value. When she makes contact with any planetary Archetype she brings her soft and ecstatic embrace with her. Neptune and Chiron have been traveling side by side since 09’, and now, as they are both about to get comfortable in the sign of Pisces, we are in for an interesting treat. A treat involving some kind of Truth. Not saying I know what the Truth of the cosmos may be, but instead, suggesting that they do. Pisces is the sign of God–of all the ineffable aspects of existence. Pisces rules over the oceans, the pineal gland, melatonin, dmt, spirit, dreams, fantasy, and inspiration. My hunch is this: Right now, as the three of these planets are in a precarious combination, we are in the prime location to remember something big. What might this be? Well….maybe our Truth–or “the Truth of Love.” Perhaps, the Truth of our existence on Earth. Looking outside of ourselves, we can look to nature, towards the sea and the atmosphere, in the attempt to distill some kind of truth. In the end, Neptune conjunct Chiron in Pisces, creates the foundation of this moment in time. 2012. It is the end of all of our hopes and speculations of the future, and the beginning of the hard knock truth of what we have created. So, how do we respond?
As Rimbaud said, “Only Divine love bestows the keys of knowledge.” What is the difference between Divine love and Personal love? Perhaps Divine love is unattached and Personal love is not. We expect our “lover” to be there forever and to always be giving back perfectly. We then try to relate to this love, this person, as the source of our love which will never die. But what if we could relate to the Love as eternal. Not them, not us, but something beyond us, which we are granted to experience freely. What happens when we realize that love is not ours, not theirs, but something way beyond our wildest imagination; something which is constant and everywhere. What happens when we realize that love is meant to be experienced in every moment of our lives, with everyone and everything. What happens then? My hunch is that this aspect between Neptune, Chiron, and Venus is trying to hint at this point for all of us collectively.
Venus in Pisces:

When Venus is in Pisces, she is said to be exalted. This means she is most comfortable and has the ability to shine the brightest in this sign of the zodiac! Why is this? I feel it is because Pisces is the aspect of Consciousness which relates to our dreams and imagination. Venus is our ability to sensitize to what is beautiful. Put the two together and you get the feeling of waking from a tantalizing dream, wondering: Is that even possible? Of course it is. Your dreams create your reality. And so, Venus in Pisces involved with Neptune (the energy of Dreams) and Chiron (the energy of the Wounded Healer) creates the ideal time for manifesting our wildest dreaming states so that we may heal the most unconscious aspects of our Psyche (which is also a Neptune theme).
Venus is not just relationships. It’s true, Venus does rule over Libra (relationships), but she rules over Taurus too. Venus in Taurus is more about self-value, self-worth, and self-love. It doesn’t have much to do with romantic love. In fact, if the Taurean aspect of Venus is not healthy in a person, no relationship will ever survive. In other words, if a person can’t be alone and doesn’t love themselves, they are doomed in an intimate relationship. There will be too much projection, control, and fear.
You can learn everything from Taurus–and to an extent, Venus too–from a tree. It is self sustained, never moving. It is in an ideal symbiotic relationship to the rest of its environment. So, what I’m getting at here is this: To experience Venus, to experience Love, we don’t need a Lover, we just need connection, symbiosis. With love for the earth, for our bodies, we are set. We are grounded and perhaps ready to then experience the myriad of different types of Love in the universe. But always, first, we must be grounded in our own Love….for ourselves! This is the teaching coming from this triple conjunction in the sky. They are saying, “Look: Love is everywhere! No need for searching. It’s here. Right now. Just sit, breathe, and remember it. Pisces teaches us how to trust in the flow of this “Divine Love.” So why not trust in the fact that you are Love. You are complete in this Love. And it is everlasting. Trust.

As an Astrologer, it is true, most of my clients and people I talk too, are curious about Love. They want to know when they are going to meet their Soul mate or their flame or their “whatever you call it.” And my response is always the same; “How do you do alone;” “What do you do to love yourself?” Do you have an art form?” I ask these questions because they assist me in gauging where an individual is in their own self development. If the response is: “I can’t be alone;” “I hate myself; “ …or….” I have no idea what I like,” then my approach is always to encourage them in the direction to discover this and away from men or woman or love in the traditional sense. It only distracts the Soul’s purpose. Once they figure “it” out, they are ready for healthy, balanced, romantic love.
As Venus moves through Pisces into the second week of February, we are all faced with the same question: What is our relationship with God! Are we seeing God in a lover, in money, in food, or a drug? Where are we finding beauty. Being that Venus is also with Chiron and Neptune in this conjunction aspect, it is indeed the end of our hopes and the beginning of Truth. No more lies to tell ourselves. The year we have all been waiting for has arrived: 2012. No more lies. Only truth. May it set you free. May the experience of Divine Love in the coming weeks bring about the experience of “true knowledge’ and “true Love.” It’s only a breath away! Don’t be afraid to let your guard down. It will only set you free!
