P40: 28:::Venus Rx: 40 Days of Love, Money and Magic starts July 25th

Relationships are here to bring everything up. Growth is like this. Growth is messy.  If there’s a place in you that could get angry, the relationship is there to bring it up. See it’s easy to be forgiving if you’re not pissed off--it’s easy to be forgiving if they’re not doing anything you don’t like. Forgiveness is about someone confronting you in an area where you don’t like the confrontation.-Williamson

Venus Retrogrades are the whole 40 days and 40 nights in the desert of apparent "lovelessness" or abandonment. Sometimes we cannot find beauty or sweetness in anything external so the world feels barren and bitter. Sometimes we just want to give up on the whole romantic insanity altogether! Sometimes going it alone looks awfully damn appealing. It all depends on how we do with "mirroring." Do we like what our relationships have been showing us?

I was born under a Venus Retrograde and it wasn't until I turned 40 that I actually started to understand the challenges and karmic implications involved with this placement. Now I have a better appreciation for the transit and how it loves to induce any hidden or internalized "uglies". So many clients have come to me over the years with a litany of fears, anger, complaints and self-hate statements about their bodies, attractiveness and overall fear of never being loved again. Think of Venus Retrogrades as an imposed cosmic retreat to show you all of the ways you need to love yourself harder, better and braver. Yes, sometimes this means taking a break from relationships in order to heal more deeply within. Sometimes it happens in the throes of negotiating the delicate partner terrain. Either way, the goal is deeper authenticity, beauty and love for self and thus others. The famous: can't love another if you don't love yourself ...could easily be the eternal Venus Rx motto. Yet, relationships can bring us into deeper self-love if each continue to own their part, their 50% of the dynamic and continue the individual work to strengthen their contribution. If we avoid relationships altogether we're just avoiding the mirror.

Some of the best relationships are where you’re going: “I hate this, I hate this, I hate this” and the gods are up there going: “Oh, this is really good.”--Williamson

Why is it such a struggle to see our own beauty without external reflection and validation? If a tree falls in a forest and no one is there to hear… The modern version is a world obsessed with camera phones, selfies, and “like” buttons. The truth is because we often did not feel seen or heard as a child. It’s challenging in this extroverted world to not turn to outer mirrors in order to feel gorgeous, irresistible, desirable, wanted. How much of our value hinges on external applause, reassurance and acceptance—often through our most intimate relationships? But if these relationships are simply a mirror of how we feel about ourselves, perhaps it’s time to look within and think again. Where are we still hiding from ourselves? Where do we fail to forgive ourselves?

Getting back to Venus and the concept of mirrors: I will share a short personal story of my own natal Venus Rx. Suffice it to say my 12th house Venus RX grew up terrified of being seen. It didn’t help that I was super short and bony and constantly ridiculed for my size. I never had a moment of feeling even remotely attractive until I started dating and fell in love with a rock star at age sixteen. Herein is where all of the trouble began. I encountered the first Venus mirror that said “you are beautiful”—-but it was outside, contingent on the love, desire and affection of this guy that I projected all my power on. I share this because we all have a close rendition somewhere in our past. It also didn’t help that I got my heart shattered in a thousand pieces when I realized this guy was never going to be loyal or faithful to me. Obviously there are even earlier roots, but you get the gist of how these Venus stories play out. We look for the proof of our worth in the eyes, compliments or embrace of another. This “other” of course has to be someone we have deemed beautiful for the reflection to work. This is why we go desperately in search of our next romantic relationship until we realize we’re really just trying to fall in love with ourselves.

I would just ask each of you to think about that for a minute and ask yourself who was able to hold presence for you as a child? Who saw you? Who heard you? Did you have a teacher that could hold presence for you? Was there anyone where you could be totally yourself ?-WoodmanWhat meaning does life have without love?

What meaning does it have if nobody has ever seen you?

These early scars linger and no matter how clever we’ve become at denying that they exist, they are just waiting for the next experience of loss or rejection to rear their pretty head. Venus in Leo square Saturn in Scorpio is not about to let us off the hook.

When you give your relationship to God:every inauthentic place within you, every trip, every hidden agenda, everything that’s controlling, everything that’s manipulative; any place where you try to play small; any place where you try to get rather than give; or any place where you play weak and powerless will be shown you in three-dimensional neon.--Williamson

Sure we can try covering up the inner abandonment hollow with more work, food, sex, alcohol, infatuation, drugs, Internet etc. But the wounds will just continue to swap addictions until we get to the heart of the insecurity and original vacancy. Venus Rx to the rescue. Abandonment or Rejection complex anyone? We’ve all got ‘em regardless of money, fame, success etc.  At the heart of our deepest insecurity is death. We were born alone and we will die alone. You know, that nagging “is that all there is” feeling that haunts you in the dark, cold of the night—that’s the hardcore truth of our existential anxiety. What we're desperately craving is a deeper relationship with our own wholeness, our connection to source, God, Love--whatever you want to call it.

The idea of the special relationship is the idea that there is one person that is going to save us and make everything alright. But rather than looking for this one person that is going to save you--you have a love affair with the universe, and you realize that your love of any one person really isn’t  about that person--your love is really about what’s inside of you. It’s all about work on you.-Williamson

Whether we realize it or not: we constantly create an unconscious projection field that others conveniently step into in order to perfectly reenact scenes and reincarnate figures from our past. We are constantly living out our unconscious expectations and fears under the delusion that something is “happening” or not “happening” to us from the outside. This is specifically the kind of psychological fodder that the darling Venus Retrograde insists on dredging up. If we're willing to let go and realize relationships are the place where we all tend to be the most neurotic, there is a very good chance we will uncover some profound insights about the way we connect and disconnect to ourselves.The reason we’re brought into relationships is for mutual forgiveness.A lot of people think that what’s supposed to happen in romance is that nobody does anything wrong. When somebody does step out of line—it’s usually the other person’s excuse to go away. And in the holy relationship—(special relationship transformed):  we recognize that we were brought together so our stuff could come up. That’s why it is happening. The fact that this person drives me crazy is why we were brought together and it’s not always going to be easy. If you’re stuff is brought up and it is forgiven by someone, that’s how you’re healed.

This particular Venus Rx is likely to bring a potent reunion with shadows, jealousies, power plays, insecurities and toxic patterns. Considering the 3 conjunctions with Jupiter and squares to Saturn, you can expect a one-way transformation in the realm of relationships and money. Once conscious you can never return to the Garden ... or the Underworld... depending on where your Venus likes to play. Karmic patterns have been severed, we have to wake up and surrender any lingering co-dependent patterns to something higher if we are to ever feel whole and healed.

As Venus goes direct on September 6th , the question is how do we want to move forward with new awareness? How do we bring more integrity into our relationships with love and money? It’s time to pave new ground with enough self-love to sustain us through any future storms.

It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not." -- André GideWhether you’re in a new relationship, navigating an existing one or preparing for your next duo, this is the time to get clear about what you are saying yes and no to when it comes to partnering. What are the rules, deal breakers and necessary boundaries you need to make your relationships solid?

Amma has said: two of the essential ingredients to a stable, high-road relationship are patience and forgiveness. The question to ask now that Venus is direct is: is your love strong enough? How much are you willing to endure and work on in order to bring the darkness to light in your intimate encounters?

Saturn in Scorpio (squaring this Venus Retrograde) symbolizes the hard work necessary to build something lasting. As long as we value the relationship, we will put in the effort required to overcome all the obstacles and challenges that inevitably arise in the merger of two individual personalities. If we don’t see the value in the long-term potential, chances are we will cut our losses and save our precious time and energy for someone or something we deem more worthwhile.

The danger here is the illusion that by changing partners we can somehow break the pattern when in reality the saying goes, “swap the partner, keep the problem.” In that case, it might be better to take enough time to break the pattern internally before embarking on a new tryst.

Ultimately, the point now is to march forward with the new insights firmly under your belt rather than turn a blind eye to what you've just revisited. There's a cosmic reason as to why we repeat lessons!

For the support and magic to help you transform your Venus issues, join us for the next P40:::28: Venus Rx: 40 Days of Love, Money and Magic ...starting on July 25th.

THE POWER OF LOVE

For 40 Days and 40 Nights (JULY 25TH TO SEPT 6TH) ....

Venus, the goddess of beauty and love goes retrograde in the sign of Leo.We all know the story of Jesus being tempted by the Devil in the desert for 40 Days, but few realize that there are many parallels between the Venus Retrograde and the temptation of our desires. We’re more likely to enter or re-enter into illicit affairs, purchases or other temptations during this time when Venus transitions between being an evening and a morning star. It's also a time to repair or deepen existing relationships and most importantly the way we love and value our true selves.Venus Retrogrades are excellent for taking an inner retreat devoted to beauty and reviewing our relationship patterns.

Venus is said to enter her “underworld” period during this phase and we are thus being invited to go underground and examine our relationship to Venus issues in our life. Venus is the symbol of the mirror and Venus retrogrades offer us an incredible opportunity for: reflection, self-love and looking at that which truly holds value in our life.

In this workshop, we will discuss the myths and psychological/spiritual implications of this summer's Venus Retrograde and what it means for each sign.

Weekly 29 June to 5 July 2015:

Aries:

Can you feel your career zone about to explode, Aries? The Full Moon arrives this Wednesday to light up your worldly status in a major way. All of your hard work since the beginning of the year is totally getting ready to pay off. The only downside to all of the excitement and success is that your heart is where your home and family are. Your ruling planet (Mars) is joining up with the Sun in the domestic zone of your horoscope all week. It’s hard to feel so many worldly demands when all you want to do is cuddle up close to base camp.

Taurus:

There’s so much going on in your beautiful world at the moment, Taurus. Communication is non-stop with the Sun and Mars joining up in your talk zone. You’re aiming sky-high and could easily feel overwhelmed with the amount of options pulling you towards greatness. You prefer life streamlined and uncomplicated-- and yet that’s exactly the opposite of your current reality. You want to accomplish colossal things and yet you’re feeling a bit sentimental and internal all at the same time. The Full Moon on Wednesday lights up your zone of long-distance travel. This is an excellent time for expanding your horizons in every possible way.

Gemini:

This week is all about major transformation Gemini. You’ve been working yourself to the bone over the past month and now July will finally bring you some respite and grounding. Shed everything that stands between you and your dreams now. Let go of any self-inflicted restrictions that hold you back from greatness. You’ve still got Mercury working his magic in your stars to keep you on your mental and creative toes. Plus, now that Mars is finally giving you a break, you can take a deep exhale and get back into your body. This Wednesday’s Full Moon is ideal for intimacy and deep research.

Cancer:

There is a Full Moon arriving in your opposite stars and lighting up your relationship zone on Wednesday. Your love life has been heating up since last week and you’re getting ready for a peak experience, next chapter or the goodbye. It all depends on where your heart is with everything, Cancer. Venus and Jupiter are joining up in your money zone right on the Full Moon to bring some serious money-making potential. It’s all too easy to blow the bank under this influence. The beautiful things in life are just way too alluring now. The Sun and Mars tango in your stars to bring high energy and some feisty to your personality.

Leo:

Big love and beauty are in the stars for you this week, Leo. There is a Full Moon on Wednesday lighting up your work and health zone. This should make daily life exciting and quite full-on. Venus joins up with lucky Jupiter right on the Full Moon to bring romance and pleasure in large amounts. It’s a highly emotional week and your mind could be working overtime to create emotional scenarios and reactions that aren’t even real. Notice they seem to have peculiar roots in the past. Try not to buy into the story, even it feels real.

Virgo:

This week is rather romantic and full of pleasure, Virgo. The Full Moon on Wednesday lands in your house of love. Add to this loveliness the fact that Venus and Jupiter are joining up for mega doses of creativity and inspiration. This is definitely a dreams come true kind of week—and that’s no exaggeration. You’ve got it going on in nearly all of your favorite life arenas: career, friendships, success, imagination, long-distance travel and romance. Your social world is going full blast as well, so it may be impossible to get any of your hermit time in this week.

Libra:

There’s a ton of action in the home and career departments this week, Libra. Wednesday brings a bright and promising Full Moon at the base of your horoscope. This is your zone ruling family, home and your roots. Many situations and relationships are culminating now, demanding your integrity and your emotional attention. Your social life is totally thriving and competing with your domestic demands now. Plus, the Sun and Mars are powering up your career zone and pushing you to work harder and smarter in the world. Remind yourself daily that you can’t be all things to all people, darling.

Scorpio:

Communication is reaching a fever pitch this week. Wednesday’s Full Moon is like a pop quiz around your integrity and state of mind. Hopefully you’ve been working a regular meditation practice to steady your mind because you’ll need it now. Thinking positively and avoiding negativity is no longer a luxury, Scorpio. You’re also killing it in the career department as Venus and Jupiter align right on the Full Moon. If ever there was a week to work your marketing plan and go for as much shameless self-promotion as possible, it’s this one. You may be tempted to escape all of the career demands with an impromptu vacation, but there’s too much greatness at stake that you might want to opt to stay grounded.

Sagittarius:

Money issues are coming to a rather dramatic head this week, Sadge. If you’ve been pushing your luck with your finances, it’s time to work a sensible plan. You can no longer get away with reckless spending without feeling the pinch. You could call this the week of guilt, depending on how large you’ve been living. Wednesday’s Full Moon lights up your money zone and could tempt you to blow the bank despite your financial reality. Plus, Venus and Jupiter are pushing you for more travel and adventure which never bodes well for your savings account. Reining it in has never been your forte-- but consider it psychiatrist's orders this week.

Capricorn:

There’s a Full Moon with your name all over it this week on Wednesday, Capricorn. Can you feel several high-demanding situations converging and peaking all at the same time? This is both exciting and exhausting as your energy gets spread super thin. Venus and Jupiter are aligning in your house of resources and intimacy on the same day as the Full Moon. If you feel tapped out, don’t sweat it. You have a ridiculous amount of backup reserves and people at the ready with their generosity and willingness to help you in any way they can. Lucky you, Capricorn.

Aquarius:

A big and generous Full Moon arrives on Wednesday in your house of retreat and dreams. Your inner world and imagination are wide awake and overflowing with inspiration and secret messages. This is an important week to tune in and pay close attention to the signs and synchronicity taking place. Your daily life is rather demanding at the moment making it challenging to find the time you crave for silence and solitude. Then again, you feel torn between staying busy and staying still. Venus and Jupiter are joining up in your relationship zone this week to make your love life sweet and abundant.

Pisces:

This week’s Full Moon makes for an exciting but hectic social life, Pisces. You adore the glamour but too much time spent in crowds can be rather taxing and draining unless balanced by time for yourself. Venus and Jupiter are linking up in your house of work and health to bring abundance and prosperity to your daily life and routines. However, the theme of not having enough downtime continues. You’ll have to be the one to put on the breaks, set the boundaries and say no in order to have Pisces solo time. Your world of romance and pleasure is getting an extra energetic boost from the Sun and Mars all week.

On almost the incendiary eveOf several near deaths,When one at the great least of your best lovedAnd always known must leave....Dylan Thomas

Saturn in Scorpio sets the stage for serious psychological shedding -- if not total metamorphosis. What does it feel like to tear it all down and start from scratch? What truly sustains us when nothing else externally sustains us?---as Jung asked in his darkest night of the soul. This is the perfect question for the collective at this most intense and uncertain juncture. How do we live with the threat of total annihilation on a daily basis? Even if you don't put much heed in the ongoing destructive displays of Mother Nature, or even think the world is in any more danger than it ever has been... one simply cannot deny the feeling of darkness, chaos and destruction running rampant in the collective unconscious at the moment.

Priorities are of the essence. We could lose all of our belongings and security at a moment’s notice. Weeding out nonessentials is no longer a luxury but a dire if not an involuntary necessity. We are realizing just what a burden material possessions are as we crave the beauty and simplicity of the opposite polarity: Taurus. We crave an inner rootedness and security like never before as we see that external forms of support are too dicey. We realize home is most reliably in our own bones.

Scorpio is connected to the 13th Major Arcana in the Tarot and the archetype of Death (Rebirth). Death is one of our greatest if not most painful teachers. Spiritual masters always speak of how important it is to live in the moment and stop living like we have forever; to live like a bird on a branch of a tree that could break at any moment so that we don’t get too attached, realizing that anything could change at a moment’s notice.

Scorpio is a fixed water sign, and all of our more stubborn emotional patterns tend to become highlighted during this phase (read: possessiveness, jealousy and control issues). Saturn asks us to get to the bone level of our fears, insecurities and inadequacies in order to build strength and cultivate mastery. While in Scorpio, we are being asked to look into the darkest chasms, the innermost recesses of our psyches. What legacies, skeletons and most archaic psychological patterns lurk in our own personal and collective psychic underground?

Of course, no one would happily admit such shadow aspects of human nature, yet it is precisely such shadow work that will reveal our beautiful depths and emotional authenticity. It is time to dance in the beautiful and sacred darkness of the divine feminine. Think Kali, Sophia, and other such dark goddess energy when you think of Scorpio. The goddesses that assist us in facing our deepest fears and darkness. How have our desires, expectations and dependencies created suffering. If we can embrace the green monsters within and get to their insecure roots, we can often uncover tremendous strength and emotional resourcefulness rather than projecting our darker aspects onto others (especially our significant others). Scorpio gives us the courage and impetus to do such dirty work.

Now is the time to summon our emotional courage and delve into all the scary and unknown parts of our inner world so that we can truly transform the darkness to light and start again. A Scorpion can hold its breath for three days, survive intense amounts of radiation that would kill most living creatures, and even survive in a frozen state. But this is just a mere glimpse into the power of the constellation of Scorpio. This can be a time of such tremendous rebirth, if only we are willing to die to the old aspects of self. If it no longer serves your highest, let go, let go, let go.

Death card by Katelan Foisy

Saturn officially delves back into Scorpio until September 17th for his final shadow play (read: audit). We left this dark terrain right before the holidays (December 23rd to be exact) last year but there is still unfinished business.  Saturn never lets you skip a step. Scorpio rules sex, death, debt, secrets and rebirth. Scorpio loves deep or not at all. The impermanence of life is in our face now. Goddess Kali is at the ready. Detachment is necessary (not defensive detachment or repressive detachment, but the kind that can step back and see this divine drama for all that it is and is not). The Underworld is rising. Duplicity is being revealed. Our insecurities, fears, and perhaps even our power issues are being dredged up for another purging. Shadow issues are back on the table refusing to be swept back under the rug. Jealousy, possessiveness, power struggles, control, manipulation, fear of being vulnerable, fear of being seen, fear of loss... all of these are up for a deeper level of karmic healing and transformation. Saturn will get ready to make some powerful squares with Jupiter in Leo for some powerful wisdom and healing around our capacity to love and be loved. This is a love big, go deep or go home kind of summer!

What have we learned since October of 2012? How much have we grown, deepened, relinquished and regenerated since then? Where do we need to deepen our commitments and go all the way?

Tuesday's New Moon in Gemini invites you to sit down and have a brand new think and conversation about it all. Let the old stories go! It's time to get clear and express where you're at and what you want in the here and now. Let the past truly be a cancelled check. No resentments and no regrets. This is an opportunity for a radical rebirth and true empowerment rooted in love.

I am offering special Saturn in Scorpio readings for the summer. If you'd like to know how the return of Saturn in Scorpio will specifically affect your chart and life, you can book a private consultation to delve into this and the upcoming Venus Retrograde in Leo. So much is changing and this is a powerful time to access deeper levels of intimacy, creativity and self-expression.
