On Venus

Some thoughts on Venus, recorded on a sunny day in my garden when the poppies and roses vying for attention.

June 11th, 2019: Ceres Challenges Lilith

  • Ceres Rx in Sagittarius square Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (4 deg)

Ceres is the Great Mother (nurturing) and BML is the dangerous lady/witch/other woman/outcast. When the two form a square, there can be tension between nurturing in an expansive (Sagittarius) way versus sliding (Pisces) around the ideals of nurturing with “taboo” expressions of female sexuality or the exploration of a dream/fantasy that releases you from nurturing.

Lilith is not a typical mother. In her myth, she gave birth to demon children so she sometimes symbolizes a thwarted desire to have children, or the complete rejection of motherhood. She is often associated with abortion and miscarriage. So in today’s aspect, we have Ceres Rx in Sag as the fiery, hopeful area of growth (Rx means you’re revisiting this issue) and BML in Pisces as the cold undercurrent that releases you.

These tensions can play out in various ways, and the crisis of the square (plus Ceres’ Rx status) draws your attention to this. Is there a nurturing/mothering ideal that needs to be released or circumvented? Is your immersion in a fantasy/dangerous attraction undermining an area of growth? Are you escaping or avoiding?

Surf the Incoming Wave, or Surrender To It

As we journey into this new week; there’s a good chance of some experiences being blown out of proportion with the amplified Sun/Jupiter opposition on Monday June 10. Something pretty significant seems to be coming our way, and rather than get TOO lost in it – practice a little gratitude and humility to stay balanced. […]
