Venus At The Station

Venus at the station signals her impending re-emergence as she prepares to turn direct before the next night passes. She has arrived, in every sense. Of the whole rollercoaster Venusian retrograde - from our reconsideration of self, us and them together and apart, our loves won and lost and their relationship to our creative heart, our deepest bond to our sparkling Self - the stationing point is the giant corkscrew at the end of the ride. The one that lurches and rattles before you hurtle above ground, glittering eyes adjusting to the new platform.

Lady Love is preparing to reappear from her boudoir refreshed and rewoven, as are we. Perfectly aligned with mighty forces, Venus embraces Chiron as we finally balm our oldest, deepest wounding: that which blocks the gate to our hummingbird hearts. She nods to Saturn in retrograde, a solemn vow to continue the good work of the last 44 days spent in the wild tangle inside our rib cage. Lady Lune adds Sagittarian swagger to her strut as our newfound emotional freedom looks to its next adventure. Changemaker Uranus throbbing in Aries wants us to cut the flailing cords and embrace the New peeking at us from outside.

But until the lights dim this eve as she ascends the stairs to the stage, remain en garde against the station point danger zone. Note well what you have learned, lest the good work of the last 44 days be undone by the ex factor or a shadowy willingness to head back to where you once belonged.

Tis nearly time to stride forth, emboldened by your time in the shadows and strengthened by what you have learned there. Drink deeply of your best medicine as you march towards the light.

I kissed away a thousand tears
My Lady of the Various Sorrows
Some begged, some borrowed, some stolen
Some kept safe for tomorrow
~ Nick Cave from "Do You Love Me"
