Ahhhh the first Lunar Cycle of the Year to begin on a Friday or Venus in Taurus Metaversal New Moon Report June 23rd

Friday, June 23
The Day of Venus in Assiah, the World of Earth. The stones attributed to Venus are Emeralds and Malachite and her metal is Copper.This morning, declutter and organize in preparation for tonight’s New Moon in Cancer. Your mind, ideas and communications may be bright, but from-a-distance is better than personal and close up. Give yourself a break during the VOC, which starts on a sextile to Uranus at 11:45 am (2:45 pm). This aspect and a lunar square from Chiron are great for meditation and affirming release of whatever might hold you back from making a fresh beginning at tonight’s New Moon.


The Sabian Symbol at 2-3 Cancer says:
AN ARCTIC EXPLORER LEADS REINDEER THROUGH ICEY CANYONS. The pioneering, trail-blazing instinct urging man to get out beyond all things. Plunge into virgin possibilities of life.
This description evokes the symbol of the Full Moon of June 9, describing pelicans who are looking for new territory, leading to a “vivifying contact with collective life energies.” Coming just two days after the Solstice, it carries the magic of the Gemini-Cancer cusp. In this lunation’s chart, 2 major aspects are moving towards perfection. Venus in Taurus, the earth sign of her rule, trines intense Pluto in Capricorn, sign of structure. This is a promise of prosperity and empowerment through reworking connections, with ourselves and others. Also, Mars the warrior is squaring Jupiter. Valor surges, timidity fades, we can challenge beliefs. Breathe deep, register your changes, do something private to affirm your assertive self. This aspect promotes a superhero syndrome and is prone to cross the line between bold and brazen, between confident and pushy. Try to wait a few days before acting on a sudden impulse to walk around with a poster outside a local church or mosque, tell your boss or teacher why you’re better than s/he, or jump from one building to another like Neo in The Matrix (remember, he had gone through full training). But do hold to the willingness to question that may be this aspects prime benefit. These influences are strengthening and fuse with the Cancer New Moon to help pry the crab in each of us from its tight hold on a rock, and as she discovers her power, to find the inner security she’s truly searching for. Cancerian strengths such as wisdom, heartfelt emotions, empathy, business savvy, a harmonious home, and nurturance of all that’s good in ourselves and in the world can flower as we clarify the more subtle intentions indicated by this portal’s chart. For instance, we can ask to be released from our emotional impressions and dreams of the past, to get up-to-date with our evolving self, ideas and desires, to have the nerve to challenge what doesn’t resonate with our gut instinct, and to manifest empowering relationships with ourselves and others.

Metaversal Friday Forecast and Light Specific Yoga Platform for June 2

Hey now Lovers of the Metaversal Kind, not only is it Friday, but First Friday here in the Land of Oaks. Not only that but at 5:30 this afternoon the Moon moves into Venus ruled Libra. By the way, I can see the Oaks from the third-storey window of Metaversal Lightcraft, and they are absolutely still – not a grain moving – at this time of day (Noon). I know what lies within them, but I have a friend (a recent lover of yours, say the boys down at the pub) who is a spelunker and he says he’s not interested in them because they’re not caves. I’ve asked him not to accompany us to the first Friday festivities and he’s more than happy to oblige. Invoke blessed Haniel, just before dawn or 2 hours after sunset and behold, a court of photosynthetic Angels who make this place inside your chest cavity a Paradise, performing tantric intercourse in magick towers and lush subterranean caves, opening your Lionheart chakra, a breeze like yellow silk on your naked skin. She really gets my donkeys up onstage. I love the way she plays with my expectations. In the sweaty, passionate, filthy embrace, in all of its delicious and time-dissolving power, in the midst of that embrace there is no difference, no separation between the spiritual and the profane. But it’s reached through the profane rather than through the spiritual, at least in my canon. That is the portal, that is the door into the whole affair. In that moment there is no separation, there is no spirit and flesh, there’s no conflict, there never was. It’s dissolved. Like a little dragon-faced hen bursting with tinsel and frayed at the wrong end. As the week comes to a close, may it catch us moving on something that matters.Steer clear of defensive responses and guilt trips, and use the promise of Moon in Virgo to focus on something that matters. Independent creative efforts or connections from a distance are more promising than one-on-one calls or encounters. We should act before 2:48 pm (5:48 ET), when Moon goes VOC on a testy square to Mars. The moment favors keeping a low profile, exercising at home, connecting with the plant spirits in the garden, tending a beehive, decluttering the garage or refrigerator, or exchanging a foot rub with someone harmonious. At 5:04 pm (8:04ET), Moon enters sociable Libra, perfect for a date or romantic walk, or for taking in a sweet movie. Connections for romance or, for that matter connections of any kind, are apt to be exciting, as we build to a midnight conjunction from Venus to Uranus.

FRIDAY, MAY 26

FRIDAY, MAY 26
The Day of Venus in Fireweek. If you actively invoke blessed HANIEL, the Archangel of Venus into your heart today, you may find you have developed the ability to feel like Khrisna, multiplying himself into a dozen pastoral, naked farmhands with muddy feet and emerald pond scum on their thighs, or maybe you are a young Freya on the back of a panther, eating honey. In the Western Mystery Tradition, the most pervasive polyamorous archetype is Aphrodite, Greek goddess of Love and Beauty. She is Venus, Ishtar, Astarte, Inanna and relates to the sephera Netzach on the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. While she had more lovers than any other Greek goddess she was not victimized and never suffered from her numerous love affairs as did many of the other goddesses. Neither was she jealous or possessive. Unlike her counter parts she was allowed freely to choose both her husband and many lovers. She inspired poetry, communication and art as well as love. Her liaison with Hermes produced the bisexual Hermaphroditus. and her long time union with Mars (God of War) produced a daughter, Harmonia. Thus Love and War combined to give rise to Harmony.Freshly waxing Moon in Gemini helps us move forward with something requiring study or communication. Morning is best for inner work, quiet time and research. Reach out to your honey, clients, or other key persons after 12:49 pm (3:49 ET), when Moon makes an auspicious sextile to Venus. Assertive requests prosper now, and remarks can hit the bull’s eye, when Moon joins Mars at 7:21 pm (10:21 ET)—not so great for pillow talk but fun for playing Scrabble, taking in an action film, or enjoying sports.At 11:18 pm (2:18 am) Moon goes VOC.

Venus retrograde 2017 and Venus in Aries

Venus is retrograde from March 2 to April 15, 2017. Venus’s shadow period begins January 30th and ends May 18th. Note that the shadow period begins before Venus turns retrograde, when Venus first passes over the degree that Venus later returns to in retrograde motion. The shadow period ends when Venus again passes over the degree at which it first turned retrograde.

As the planet of love and values, Venus retrograde periods are times when we re-assess what—and who—we value. It is a period that many astrologers consider inopportune for getting married or starting a new relationship. Major financial undertakings are not advised during this period either. Venus retrograde cycles are good times for creating budgets and financial plans, and for re-thinking our personal relationships. Taking final action in the areas of finance and love, however, is not advised until Venus turns direct again.

Because Venus rules beauty and aesthetics, Venus Retrograde is a less than ideal time for beautification processes (new hairdos, enhancements, purchasing a new wardrobe, cosmetic surgery, and so forth), renovations, redecorating, and the like. Because Venus is associated with social events, parties may not go as planned.

On the subject of love, past lovers may re-appear, and some relationships may end. With Venus retrograde in Aries much of its retrograde cycle, our needs for action may be especially high but frustrated. We may question how much independence and confidence we have in our relationships. With Venus in Pisces towards the end of the cycle, the tendency for misplaced faith, or to be blind-sighted, in love may be strong. The compassion we’re seeking may be missing now.

Old friends and lovers may re-appear, perhaps complicating current relationships. We are called upon to deal with relationship issues from the past during this Venus retrograde cycle. Events occur that seem fated or predestined. It can be a real challenge getting close to a lover during this period. Unorthodox, experimental, and non-intimate relationships may be favored.

Venus is in its detriment in the sign of Aries (Aries is opposite Libra, which Venus rules). Some of the more negative associations of Venus in Aries may be particularly prominent and/or hard to take, and these include impatience, arrogance, and childishness or naivety. Those who have Aries strong in their charts may be more introspective, distant, or hard to reach during this cycle. They may not be in a very favorable light just now, and they may be reconsidering things.

Relationships that have been especially challenging may come to an end during this cycle. However, strong relationships will survive it, even if there are a few bumps and bruises along the way. This can be a good time for “eyes wide open” or experimental dating, although opinions and assessments may change at a later date. It is not a time when people recognize the need for another person to “complete” them. Some people may be questioning whether they are with partners who actually fulfill them. We may, however, be especially in touch with our deeper, less obvious, and less superficial needs and wants. This makes it a good time for re-evaluating our relationship needs; but, again, major love decisions are best saved for after the cycle ends on April 15th, and better yet, beyond the shadow phase as well (after May 18th). Our perceptions may be skewed, and we can come out of the retrograde cycle with regret if we’ve acted hastily, as the tendency to change our minds later is strong.

Affection is difficult to express in a natural or spontaneous manner. We might find others are lacking in sincerity or genuineness in their expressions of social niceties. (We may be inclined to do the same!).

On the subject of money, finances, and possessions, do try to hold off on major purchases or financial decisions during this Venus retrograde cycle. For example, the purchase of a new house, car, or another big-ticket item could backfire in some manner later on. They may become money pits or cause problems for you, or you may change your mind later and regret your purchase. If you’re particularly good at sniffing out good buys, this can be a great time for finding unusual items at low prices as people may be more willing to get rid of things they may not part with under normal circumstances during a retrograde Venus period.

There’s nothing truly to fear about Venus retrograde, but it’s always wise to take special care during this cycle. It’s not the best period for entering into a new relationship because our sensors when it comes to love are not up to par. However, it’s not unheard of to begin a relationship under the influence of a retrograde Venus, and the relationship survives and/or thrives.

Venus rules our values, and when she is retrograde, we don’t seem to be in touch with exactly what and who we value, or, some might say we see things more or too clearly. After the retrograde cycle is over, we may look back and wonder what we were thinking. So, do what you can to avoid major decision-making during Venus’ retrograde period, but pay attention to your assessments to see if they last. A change of heart is possible later. And, the people we meet now may appear more fabulous than they turn out to be. It’s also possible that some people we meet now may seem less attractive than they turn out to be! Whatever the case may be, try to hold off until May before making big decisions, particularly life-altering ones.

Still, we may not be as openly or obviously warm and affectionate during this cycle. It’s hard to trust others just now, and, perhaps more so, it’s difficult to trust our own instincts when it comes to judging others or our relationships. We tend to suspect insincerity in others. People might appear to be more selfish, withdrawn, and self-protective. It’s hard to make headway in a direct manner in our love relationships for the time being. If you are hoping to fix a relationship or if you are trying to schedule a reunion, it may not be the best time to do so.

When breakups do occur in the second half of a Venus retrograde cycle, I have noticed they are imperfect. They are not often clean breaks. Couples and friends may reunite later, or if they stay broken up, they might often wonder if it was the right thing to do – something is left hanging. Venus retrograde is a period for clearing the decks and dealing with the past so as to move forward fresh and re-energized, and this is especially appropriate in the first three weeks of the cycle. During the second half of the retrograde cycle, watch for impulsiveness.

Then there is a feeling of the inevitable during a Venus retrograde. What happened in the past, including past love affairs, can flood our consciousness now. Sometimes, a past lover reappears in their physical form.

Think back to what may have happened during the last few Venus retrograde cycles (July 25 to September 6, 2015; December 21, 2013, to January 31, 2014; May 15, 2012, to June 27, 2012; October 8 to November 18, 2010; March 6 to April 17, 2009; July 27, 2007, to September 8, 2007; December 24th, 2005 to February 3rd, 2006; April through July 2004; September through December 2002; February through May 2001). Although each retrograde cycle is different, similar issues may arise. In fact, some of the problems we faced then may need to be dealt with now.

More importantly, note that the last times Venus was retrograde in the sign of Aries and Pisces were from March 6 to April 17, 2009, and from March 8 to April 19, 2001 (every eight years). It’s highly likely that we will deal with similar issues during the 2017 Venus retrograde cycle as we did during these cycles in 2001 and 2009.

April 8th is likely to be a more challenging period of this retrograde cycle when Venus forms a square to Saturn. Better times for Venus-ruled matters during this 2017 Venus retrograde cycle are March 18th and 25th, when Venus aligns with Mercury and the Sun.

At the time that Venus forms an inferior conjunction with the Sun (March 25th), relationship issues are magnified. Fateful events can occur now. This is equivalent to a New Moon but marks the beginning of a new Venus cycle. We are symbolically in the dark during the retrograde, but starting fresh and re-energized from this date forward. Impulsiveness and lack of preparation are issues now. When Mercury forms a conjunction with retrograde Venus on March 18th, there can be a lot of conversation about relationships, especially past ones. New light may be shed on an old problem.

Particularly around the days of Venus’ stations on March 4th and April 15th, 2017, watch for confused situations and try not to say too much. If you are itching to argue with a lover, try to hold off. It is likely that you will have a change of heart once the station passes, and you can do some damage in the meantime.

Note also that Venus is in the retrograde “zone” from January 30th to May 18th. From April 15th to May 18th, Venus continues to traverse the degrees she covered during her retrograde period. Although Venus officially turns direct on April 15th, issues are not expected to be entirely resolved until after May 18th.
