Both Venus and Uranus turn around this weekend, ushering in a time of historic revelation, realignment, and renaissance. Venus stationed retrograde Saturday morning around 5:30 am ET/9:30 am UT; Uranus will station retrograde Sunday at 6:38 am ET/10:38 am UT.
In astrology, when a planet “stations retrograde” it appears to move backward in the sky. During the time the planet is retrograde, things are refined, reassessed, and reworked. The nature of the things that are refined is related to the nature of the planet and the frequency or energetic that the planet is disseminating. The Sabian symbols of the degrees of the zodiac give us this information.
Venus is retrograding at the degree of “in a portrait, the best of a man’s features and traits are idealized.” While Venus is retrograde, it will pull back the veil or cover or mask that has been hiding illusions about people, places, and plans. Venus retrograde often brings back people or situations from our past. There is great wisdom that results from Venus’ retrograde. We find out what we truly value. This makes for beautiful realignment in the world. Venus will station direct or turn forward once again on September 6, 2015.
Uranus is stationing retrograde at the degree of “a boxer entering the ring,” which is the native energetic of the planet Eris since this is the degree where Eris was discovered. Uranus brings revolution and Eris brings rebirth. The highest octave of this energetic is unity — becoming the ring, not being a boxer. Uranus will be retrograde through December 26, 2015, and will bring people around the world together in new ways. We focus on coming together not coming apart. The power of divide and conquer tactics of the past will suffer serious degradation. This means that the things that keep us separate from each other as a collective and in individual relationship are rendered less powerful.
I’ve been discussing the monumental nature of the times. Much is being foreshadowed this weekend. We are vigilant to the potential for hijinks. Things may develop very suddenly and shockingly, but whatever is happening is designed to bring things in line with their proper course. Silver linings become visible at some point. Major malfunctions are rectified, so if the Black Moon’s transit of Virgo has shown you parts of yourself that you wish to work on, the retrogrades of Venus and Uranus offer dynamics to change them. We have help to do things differently and better so that life can be happier.
The Sun is beginning to come back to life right now, taking up its heights in Leo. We await its wisdom while we take up the mission of our own heights and ideals, primary among them to restore heaven on earth. This weekend, as the planets turn, we turn toward life and the love and value of life. We remember.
Please keep the captured moments of beauty in photographs coming as you stumble upon them!
The chronology of the astrological effects remains posted below:
SATURDAY, JULY 25: Venus stations retrograde at “in a painting, the best features and traits of a man are idealized” (a process of recognizing our delusions and illusions about ourselves, others, and the world at large begins to unfold through September 6)
SUNDAY, JULY 26: Uranus stations retrograde at “a boxer entering the ring” (a process of rising above conflict to bring a better way begins to unfold through December 25/26)
Parliament Of Wise Owls Wave Of Love
If needed, we can return to the space of last week’s group meditation and reinforce that wave of love. The meditation is posted below for quick reference:
Picture
Your shield of divine protection
Yourself taking flight as a wise owl
Yourself taking your place in a ring around the Earth with the other wise owls around the world
From your heart, emanate a wave of alignment with love, freedom, and the value of life
Feel the pulse circle as the music we are putting around our sphere
Repeat what you know in your heart: “Love prevails.”
(Please modify this according to your own practice and style. )
