The plan\u00adet Venus has been mov\u00ading ret\u00adro\u00adgrade since Octo\u00adber 8 and tonight reach\u00ades the halfway point of its ret\u00adro\u00adgrade cycle. This is known as Venus mak\u00ading its Infe\u00adri\u00ador con\u00adjunc\u00adtion to the Sun. This is because we find Venus now at its clos\u00adest approach to the Earth, posi\u00adtioned between the Earth and the Sun.<\/p>\n
This align\u00adment makes this phase of the Venus cycle sim\u00adi\u00adlar to a New Moon, where\u00adin the Moon is also posi\u00adtioned between Earth and the Sun. And, just like a New Moon, this moment in the Venus cycle cre\u00adates an oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty for us to make a new begin\u00adning. In this case, since it is Venus, a new begin\u00adning in our under\u00adstand\u00ading and expe\u00adri\u00adence of Val\u00adue is offered to us.<\/p>\n
All ret\u00adro\u00adgrades of plan\u00adets cre\u00adate a peri\u00adod in which we can and should go back and review, reflect and repair our expe\u00adri\u00adence of what\u00adev\u00ader that plan\u00adet has ruler\u00adship over. Venus only ret\u00adro\u00adgrades every 18 months or so, (it ret\u00adro\u00adgrades the least of all the plan\u00adets!), mak\u00ading this time a very spe\u00adcial time indeed. And the actu\u00adal length of its ret\u00adro\u00adgrade peri\u00adod is quite prophet\u00adic, Venus ret\u00adro\u00adgrades for 40 days! There are numer\u00adous ref\u00ader\u00adences in all major reli\u00adgions and meta\u00adphys\u00adi\u00adcal sys\u00adtems to the num\u00adber 40 as being sig\u00adnif\u00adi\u00adcant, but the ques\u00adtion is what are we to do with Venus retrograde?<\/p>\n
Venus rules val\u00adue, it rules the feel\u00adings we have as regards our attach\u00adments, our wants\u2026it rules what we call Love. What Venus ret\u00adro\u00adgrade asks of each of us is this, it asks us to look with\u00adin our\u00adselves and see what are the val\u00adues that are unique to me and make me me?<\/p>\n
Of course, we must and will share many aes\u00adthet\u00adic, cul\u00adtur\u00adal and spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal val\u00adues with our fel\u00adlow human beings. How could we not? We are social beings, we are nur\u00adtured and unfold our giv\u00aden and unique poten\u00adtial with\u00adin a par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar fam\u00adi\u00adly, with\u00adin a par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar vil\u00adlage, town or city, with\u00adin a par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar cul\u00adture. All of these cre\u00adate and rein\u00adforce the essen\u00adtial lan\u00adguage of val\u00adue in our life.<\/p>\n
Yet we also find a need to be spe\u00adcial, to be our self, and to com\u00adbine in our own unique way the var\u00adi\u00adous themes and forms of expres\u00adsion of val\u00adue that are in and around us. We take what is pro\u00advid\u00aded by our envi\u00adron\u00adment and mix it with the essence of our self that comes from with\u00adin, our spir\u00adit, our soul, so that in the end what we make is a life of val\u00adue that stands as a tes\u00adta\u00adment to our own soul\u2019s journey.<\/p>\n
Along the way, the Uni\u00adverse pro\u00advides moments to pause, to reflect and if nec\u00ades\u00adsary adjust our jour\u00adney. With Venus ret\u00adro\u00adgrade we have all been doing this, most\u00adly uncon\u00adscious\u00adly, dur\u00ading these last 20 days. And now, an answer is offered. The con\u00adjunc\u00adtion of Venus with the Sun releas\u00ades a mes\u00adsage, again, for most, a very deep and prob\u00ada\u00adbly unseen answer to our prayer for guid\u00adance and help. But it is there, tonight.<\/p>\n
Do not expect fireworks\u2026expect a breath, a feath\u00ader, a hint of anoth\u00ader way. To hear the mes\u00adsage we must be still and open to the Wind of the Spir\u00adit in which we live and find the true mean\u00ading of our lives.<\/p>\n
And Venus will keep mov\u00ading back\u00adwards for anoth\u00ader 20 days, till Novem\u00adber 18. At that moment the ener\u00adgies will shift again. We will be able to take that seed of a new under\u00adstand\u00ading and begin to act on it, still unsure of its true impor\u00adtance. The rev\u00ade\u00adla\u00adtion of our new under\u00adstand\u00ading comes lat\u00ader, much lat\u00ader, when Venus again aligns with the Sun and Earth around August 16, 2011.<\/p>\n
But we can be com\u00adfort\u00aded tonight in the knowl\u00adedge that the Uni\u00adverse is offer\u00ading us help, as always, if we can take a moment and be still and reex\u00adam\u00adine what is good, what is beautiful\u2026what is love to me\u2026tonight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
