Eros & Psyche Sextile June 8th

[jennifer]

Hi All,

Thought I'd jump in by mentioning that I noticed that on the day of the June 8th eclipse, Eros & Psyche will be sextile with Eros at 18 Aries and Psyche at 18 Aquarius, so that means Psyche will be trine Venus and Eros sextile. . . I thought that was pretty neat!!

I'm personally quite excited because with those degrees, my personal Eros is triggered-- Psyche & Amor will be conjunct my natal Eros at 16 Aqua, and Eros just past my DEsc & conjunct my Part of fortune at 17 Aries. . . So I feel tied to the energies of the coming Venus transit. . .

Also amazing that Venus goes Rx at 26 Gemini ( opps my natal Venus at 26 Sag) which is the Galactic Center and Rising degree of Chiron's discovery. . .So much connects here, so many links. . . .

I wonder: Do you suppose the effects of this transit will continue unfolding until Venus gets out of her retrograde shadow & once again moves past 26 Sag-- as soon as she passes that degree hits 0 Cancer, triggering the AP and of course, pretty close to the solar eclipses of 2001-02 in early Cancer & Capricorn. . .

Anyone think this all ties in? All these special transits & eclipses happening so near the GC in the past few years???

Mars will oppose the GC in just a few days. . .I wonder if in true Mars fashion, something will be initiated then?

I know I will be watching. . . interested to hear what other's think. . . .

Hi Jennifer,

Good to see you on the new forum!

Yes, I think that is a boost of positive energy—Eros sextile and Psyche trine the Venus Occultation. Your Arabic Fortuna activation interests me.

Eros to the Fortuna may go unnoticed in brief transits although long term ones and progressions can be significant. As the Fortuna stands as a symbol for joy and a sense of good luck, Eros here can trigger those feelings of delight in a creative and passionate way. With the Venus/Sun occultation backing it up, there could be a major event.

Depending on the sign and house position, Eros conjunct or opposition the Fortuna can activate concurrent transits form outer planets manifesting in larger events, inner and outer. At the very least, it seems to put us in the right place at the right time, even if only for a wink of an eye. Do let us know what you notice regarding this transit. How do you find Fortuna on the Descendant? Would you say you are “lucky with significant others?”<br>
Occultation’s traditionally last until the next one! It is possible that this 18 degree Gemini “hot spot” will be reverberating for the next 8 years, rising to the surface every time another transit or event hits it again! Keep the journals current so retrospection is possible! I suspect we will feel it more significantly while Venus is in Gemini, though—the initial activation carrying through that time.

You have given me food for thought re the activation of the Galactic Centre. I will be watching that too, and yes, it seems significant. My Jupiter/Venus is 0 degrees Cancer. If I get any blasts of insight into these events, I’ll post them straight away.

Thank you for the thoughts and questions!

Warmly,
Kim

Hi Kim!!

I love the new boards. . . beautiful! Nothing else like it out there in cyberland, if you ask me. . .


Ha! Am I lucky with significant others? Just laughed out loud. . . I don't know much about the Fortuna, to be honest, just always wondered what it was doing in my 7th house. . . I guess the short answer is yes. . . Yes, I have been lucky in love. . . Several long lingering loves that have had a deep impact on my life and heart & made deep grooves. . . the key words, however, being "several" and "long". . . . No ONE for sure, definitely, this is THE ONE. . . they tend to show up like Knights in Shining Armor just when I'm tied to the railroad tracks ( emotionally speaking. . .) I always wanted the whole puzzle to come together & to meet the ONE and KNOW & be sure, but alas. . . . not yet. BUt I remain on close & friendly terms with all of my old loves. . .which is a grace. . . much love in my life, yes, much, much love. . . Little security, but then, I'm still young. . . I look at how dramatic & movie-like my love life has been so far, so as I grow into my mid-twenties I can't even imagine what is to come next. . . ( Oddly, there's an asteroid called White Knight and it is conjunct my natal Sun and also, synastry wise, my deepest, longest love has it at 15 Aries, conjunct my DEsc & Fortuna-- )

I suppose it bears mention that my Fortuna is also "ahem" opposite my Pluto, which means I have PLuto Rising in Libra. . . which means relationships are an issue in my life. . . but they have never been a painful issue, as some would believe Pluto Rising would indicate, but just always. . . deeply transformative. . .Although I must say that everywhere I go, every new venture I start, there always appears a man to help me adjust & get acclimated to each new phase of my life. . .that I suppose, is lucky-- they aren't all lovers, many appear as sort of protectors, brother types. . and of course some lovers

That quote you have at the bottom of your posts. . ."I am Scylla. . ." that about sums up my love life thus far!!! There's a haunting quality to my love life. . .for sure, a dreamy, poetic, karmic quality. . .

Anyway, I am very curious about the GC myself. . . I have a few "theories". . .tentative ones. .. I also await the huge lightning bolt of insight. . . someday, someday. . .
Interesting that you have Jupiter/Venus at 0 Cancer. . . I have Moon/Jupiter at 0 Cancer. . .in the 9th! Opposing Venus & Merc & Sun! I can never stop questing!!!!!

Aside from my own personal interest in the GC cause it aspects almost all my natal planets, I have really been musing about what this means collectively for planetary consciousness & trends & had one pretty much LITERAL LIGHTNING bolt about the upcoming Venus transit. . .

I don't know if you know anything about Nikola Tesla, the genius inventor who had discovered a way to provide fuel for entire countries free of charge but was quashed by Edison who had patented DC & General Electric. . .

Well he discovered AC, alternating Current in 1882 . . . the year of the last Venus eclipse. . . . a piece of knowledge that feel into my hands MOST synchronously. . . .so I got to thinking, metaphorically, about the way energy is shared & utilized on this planet & how it is probably just about the biggest question facing humanity right now. . . . energy & resource sharing. . . . and about VENUS's role in all this. . . . and how the attitudes we have about energy ( power) are reflected down in our most intimate relationships. . .

I keep thinking Galactic Center activations, with Chiron symbolism thrown in. . . have to be about Bridging Gaps. . .which is what energy does. . . it connects. . .like electricity. . .delivers a charge, which then has to be utilized. . . .

Believe me I could go on about this FOREVER. . . I am going to have to get a full day free & just sit myself down & sort it all out, do some research & THINK. . .

But I'm always going to be more interested in how broad dynamics such as these get mirrored in intimate relationships. . . .and so. . . I am fascinated by what kinds of experiences people will be having with these energies. . .myself most of all!!!!!!

I do feel an event coming on. . . . . Mars in a few days will give me a clue, no doubt!

Hope this makes some sense!

Hi Jennifer,

Yes, the new board is fabulous! How good is it to get an email notification when someone makes a post!!!

Your description of 7th house experiences suits the Arabic Part of Fortune there! I particularly liked the mention of asteroid 17612 WhiteKnight on the Descendent as well. Your “luck” with men, and perhaps your acceptance of the intensity of Pluto opposition is what the Fortuna is all about. Because that Pluto/Ascendant “recreates” you over and over again, you may find in your life that there are several “ones” who you will share your journey with!

Interesting that you identify with the Euripides quote. “Call me a she-lion…” I have always loved that, and also have Pluto conjunct the Ascendant! (Leo!)

The comments about energy and the Venus occultation are spot on! What could be a better symbol of the Sun (our solar system’s source of energy) and Venus (social involvement—sharing!) With the Pluto opposition, there could be some strong alterations in the collective’s understanding of our energy resources.

I suspect the Eros/Psyche contacts will make this transit personal for many of us. Ultimately, I am with Jung, “If there is something wrong with society, there is something wrong with the individual, and if there is something wrong with the individual, then I best have a look in the mirror!”<br>
Maybe this Venus occultation is a good time for us to all look at how we consume, generate and share energy in relationships, in the kitchen, on the road, at work, while creating and playing. Where do we need to transform?

Thank you for your excellent ideas on this topic!

Warmly,
Kim

Yes! There is significance to Eros in synastry chart comparisons! You may find it helpful to read my article, “What Makes People Compatible- 7 Simple Steps to Synastry” www.nrg.com.au/~d-falcon/Eros_by_Transit_or_Progression.htm

The first step in looking at Eros in Synastry is to understand what Eros represents in you natally. Read (on my site and any other resources you can find) what Eros means in Sagittarius, and what it means in the second house. Next, look at the degree of Eros and see what aspects that makes in your natal chart and then in to the synastry chart.

REMEMBER! People are like personal transits. If you have a synastry contact it is going to be like having that contact by transit, every time you are with the other person! Eros can really light things up in a relationship, it can also awaken feelings of jealousy and rage along with the ecstasy, creativity and passion!

In you chart comparison, what planets does Eros aspect within a few degrees of orb? Perhaps we can start by looking at these one at a time.

(I just posted an introduction for new members. Please read it, then join up. I think your question about the Mars synastry contact (yes, it is significant too!) is best posted in the “Synastry & Composite Chart” forum.)

Thanks for your interest and input! Please feel free to fire away with the questions…just one at a time!
Warmly,
Kim
