Venus Dances in the Heart of the Sun

Venus Cazimi at 20° Leo at 7:15 am

Love’s shadows become illuminated in the heart of the sun. This is a rite of purification – of burning off the dross. Venus reaches the halfway mark of her underworld journey when she reaches the inferior conjunction, the point when her body unites with the clarity and power of the Sun – providing them with blessings of intimate counsel. This illuminates a turning point in this journey of descension. We may choose to begin a project or make a change at this time connected to play, authenticity, identity, and love. This is the part of the journey when the Goddess discovers the gem she wishes to retrieve from the shadows and bring to the surface. This is when she decides the actions she is going to take so she can rise up to the surface in an empowered form. But in the process, she requires deep compassion, love, and encouragement – from herself and those around her. Themes of attention, self-validation, confidence, and authenticity may be part of our journey. Remembering what we truly loved before the world told us to grow up and focus on more serious matters. Leo is a sign of playfulness, showmanship, and creativity. This journey should be leading you to what is true for your heart and reconnecting you with what fills you up with exuberance and where and how you naturally shine.
