Excerpt from Patreon – Powerful shifts are signaled by the meeting between the Sun and Venus on October 22. I talked about this in my October forecast and included images that help explain how important this cycle is. Here’s the link – the discussion starts at 20:42 minutes.
Essentially, the successive encounters of Venus and the sun form a pentagram shape in the map, a magical, protective symbol sacred to modern witches and seen as a repeating motif in many cultures and in nature. There is something organic about it, as if it were a representation of creation itself. Although the conjunctions between the Sun and Venus repeat in similar places during an 8-year cycle, they slowly shift backwards through the signs. For the past 143 years, one arm of the conjunctions of the pentagram has been in Scorpio, but now, this year, the Sun-Venus conjunction is moving to Libra – 29 Libra to be exact. Of course, as an anaretic degree, it suggests that issues of harmony, partnership, alliances, and peace are critical!
As above so below!
As a new cycle begins in the sky, a new cycle begins here on Earth as well. As Venus sits on the throne of the sun, she shines brightly from her own sign. Home at last, Venus is at her greatest power, and she illuminates where we are not aligned, where the ego has stood in the way of the heart. If we watch Pluto move into Aquarius, Uranus and Sedna move into Gemini, along with the last Great Conjunction (Jupiter-Saturn) in Aquarius, we can clearly see how the element of air, with all its focus on intellectual clarity and debate, is will be of great importance to move forward.
