Venus Beloved At Home

Art: Dryad by @amandaclarkartist

In the shadow of some heavy planetary jostling, our serene Lady of Love exits the ram's lair for her home state. A torrid crossing that saw her squaring Pluto's anaretica as issues of power and control challenged heartfelt values. Once more with feeling.

Venus arrives to her domicile and sinks herself gratefully into its fleshy welcome. In Taurus we return to the body as barometer, the heart as compass and the soul as our most trusted guide. Venus indulges her natural sensual pace and encourages ours as evolutionary reset. Now may we come into full bodied alignment with the values rewoven by rampant revolution.

Craven disregard is on the nose. The patently unsustainable is finally unworthy. Mindless consumption leaves a trail of destruction all lit up that cannot be dragged back into the shadows. Wilful ignorance is self serving. Denial is as pointless as ever. The bad old days are drawing to an inexorable close, even if their exit strategy has claws.

Our currencies are changing in tandem as a fresh wave of what's truly important sweeps the resetting earth. The circular economy and the great greening of minds is becoming the fresh norm. Nervous systems unwired from what was built over resonance. We bear blessed witness to a sharp rise in the value of feminine currency. We tend our grief in tandem with our desire, their strange coupling the only way beyond the fray.

We save what we love. We preserve that which we hold dear. We treasure what we cherish. We protect ourselves from harm by living in alignment with our values and enshrining connection that holds them as holy. We cultivate simple pleasure as antidote to great pain. We stop to smell the flowers. All of these are self care, devotion to the wonders of our world and the high arts of the truly Venusian. Sink gratefully in. Let love rule.

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods
