#62 Venus part 2 “Evening Star” & the Solar Eclipse

…Join me in preparation for the 1st Eclipse of 2011.  It will be a partial Solar Eclipse in Capricorn…  In the first part of the show, we will focus on the implication of this Solar Eclipse.  We will then move back into the cycle of Venus–who we left behind nearly a month ago–and finally learn about the second half of the 584 day Venus cycle.  Venus in her Evening star phase is much different than her Morning Star phase and is of great importance for understanding her in the natal chart.  Give a listen, and find out why. Hope you enjoy.

….at 19 Sagittarius, Mercury decides to go Direct for the 4th time of 2o10: just in time for the New Years celebration.

This should mean all festivities will commence with ecstatic ease.  If drinking is your means of celebration, be careful, because Mercury still hasn’t broken the Retrograde cycle, and passed its place where he Stationed Retrograde at 5 degrees Capricorn. Also, with the influence of the Galactic Center (27 Sag), there can be the possibility of too much fun.  Be careful; don’t get to High on the tides.  Be steady, be aware, and stay inspired. It is a wonderful time for celebration.

If New Years celebrations aren’t your gig, Mercury Direct today can offer many other goodies.  It’s an auspicious time for practice–Spiritual practice; it is also an auspicious time to start new projects.  If there has been an Idea or a Desire festering inside your mind, and you have yet to tackle it, or release it, maybe tonight is your night.  Light the candles, make the tea, and get comfortable with your pen or computer or instrument.  It’s a wonderful time for Creativity.  The Galactic Center is hub of a cosmic energy in our nook of the Universe, so take advantage of it: shake it, pop it, and watch the bubbly fly–both literally and metaphorically speaking.

As far as New year’s resolutions…..Don’t make one unless you are sober.  You will just let yourself down. The transits are tricky now-a-days.  Be impeccable.   Plant your seed in Clear soil.  Only then will it grow like the proud 1′s of the 2011. May your night be filled with Joy, the Muse, and Music.

namaste,

In love, we are protecters of eachothers solitude”

Rilke

…and I would add: …  Hearts!

On oct 7^th, on the Libra New Moon, Venus and Mars were conjunct in mid Scorpio. Venus then slid all the way back to Libra and Mars carried on (going forward), heading for the Great Attractor and to the center of the Milky Way galaxy.  Venus wasnt confident in her sense of Self. Plus, her relationships were having problems, needing to be tested and reworked.  This caused many breakups within humanity.  It also caused many new ones to form.  And for those who stuck with it, new vistas blazed. When Venus went direct last friday (the 19^th of Nov) –just before the Taurus Full Moon– all that was hidden was revealed.  Our shadows in ourselves and in our relationships, were destroyed by the light of the Taurus Full moOn.  The change we were waiting for arrived. Venus and Mars blessed humanity. Oh, Disguise…Oh Pain….Oh, Discordia, why must you lie to us.

Venus and Mars will reunite this spring in the signs of Aries and Taurus. From the  around 21th till the 25th of May, they will be holding hands from 7-11 degrees Taurus, walking side by side, telling their stories. It all happens from Scorpio to Taurus (starting with Venus going retro on October 8th, reuniting in late May in Taurus), from one side of the zodiac to the next, complete transformation unfurls and solidification curls, in us and with our mates. Change, the unbelievable weave of Love.  See it, feel it, ride it for what it is: the ocean of love and hate, male and female,  you and me, anima/animus, yin and yang.  May your search for perfect balance be a sacred one.

Currently, I’m offering Relationship readings for the same rate as a Natal chart reading. Sound good? Send me an email, and we can illuminate this Love in your life.

Long days and pleasant nights my friends,

namaste

I want to welcome everyone to the blog. It seems like we will have many different contributors to aKosmic Mind. The goal: If you have something you would like to post–that is Astrology related–then shoot me an email (kosmognosis@gmail.com), and I can make your an ‘author.’

I have a good feeling about this one…its auspicious too, being an Aries New Moon in all.

So, go plant yourself some seeds, get your ideas together, and lets talk Astrology.

I want this to be like Tribe.net was for a hot second: A vital resource for the astrologically curious. No need for ‘early 90′s’ reference sites, its time to create something new, fresh, and ever growing.

And so, I ask: What was your most magical moment with astrology???

Again, lets ‘post/comment’ away.
