Venus Dual Goddess

To supplement this article you may enjoy the Podcast Venus Retrograde and the Transit of Venus – a talk on KSFR Santa Fe Public Radio, with Marylyn LeBlanc.

Let’s begin with the Venus long cycle:

  • March 27th:  Greatest eastern elongation: 46° ahead of the sun (Venus in Taurus, sun in Aries) evening star – Venus Hesperos.
  • April 12th:  Venus at 7° Gemini (the degree at which it will station Direct on June 28
  • May 15th:  Venus Stations retrograde at 23° Gemini (exactly 30° behind sun)
  • June 6th: Inferior Conjunction AND the Transit of Venus in this year which reflects back on the June 8th, 2004 Transit of Venus!
  • June 28th: Venus Stations Direct (prograde) at 7° Gemini (exactly 30° ahead sun)
  • July 31st:  Venus passes 23° Gemini, the degree at which it Stationed Retrograde
  • Aug 15th: Greatest western elongation: 45.8° behind the sun (Venus in Cancer, sun in Leo) morning star – Venus Phosphoros.

Though the period of Venus being retrograde is 40 days, its full cycle is profound. Over a period of about 110 days, Venus will pass over 16° of the zodiac – three and a half months (half as long as the Mars cycle is).

Egypt revolution 2011

I have taken to calling our current world condition the First Global Guerrilla War (GGW1). .  . where, to greater good or ill, the rules of engagement are non-existent, the front line does not exist, there is no “enemy” or “ally”, there are no protocols being followed, thus leaving an open door to chaos.  Chaos is the genesis of all things.  It is a full void, in which all the elements of creation exist, but are not coherent.  As time evolves, the chaos begins to form small complexes of “order” (Gk. cosmos) and coherence, which constellate around a focus, self-generating a new formation of the old system.  We live in a self-generating universe, and thus, each of us, and the whole of the cosmos are in continual reformation, or revolution.

Today, we are far from a new order, far from a “day in which it will all be organized” . . . and deep in the mystery of metamorphosis.  And, because no moment is ever like another, we have neither model nor memory-chain to guide us.  It is a rich time for astrology, philosophy, sociology, ideology and other human/social orientated thinking, but it is alarming to our limbic brain . . . our emotional non-verbal brain.  And, it is “interesting times”, for sure.

Into The Mystic by Chez Beeper Bebe http://chezbeeperbebe.blogspot.com/2010/06/camp-tettegouche.html

Neptune was first observed by Galileo December 28, 1612, when it was zodiacally exactly conjunct Jupiter at 26° Virgo . . . however, Galileo thought it was a fixed star.  He did not know that Neptune was, in fact, stationary-retrograde on that very day, thus apparently motionless.  Also, he was seeing it with Jupiter, (both at 26° Virgo) a known “wanderer”, thus he could not have realized Neptune was a planet given the circumstances. Also, Neptune only covers a span of about 3 degrees every 18 months. Not a speedy pace.

Galileo observed Neptune, again, January 27th, 1613, but the cosmic shaman was thwarted both by the quality of his telescopes and the fact that Neptune was full into retrograde motion. At both sightings Neptune remained elusive to our collective consciousness, hiding in retrograde motion, disguised as a fixed star.
