That Venus Day!

[Jenn]

Hi all, hi Kim,


Well, I can see the forum is growing in leaps and bounds!! Truly amazing!

I had to drop in and post about what I experienced on the day of the Venus occultation ( KIm I know you started a thread for this somewhere but I can't find it! yikes-- also am being a bit of a lazy Libra rising, not searching)

So! That Venus day-- I was very aware of what day it was and trying to consciously tap the vibe--- and I must have been putting something out there because 3 men asked me out that day! One of them I actually LIKED!!! This never happens-- 3 women at the office noticed and got all petulant and upset about it and felt slighted ( weird, because I am SO not flirtatious at work, I am miss grindstone, no nonsense Capricorn) so I was very taken aback by the whole thing-- I was trying to feel the vibe on some dim abstract level and here it manifested very mundanely and chock full of emotions and envies and guilt. . .but so REAL! So. . powerful. . . I found myself bursting into my boss's office and saying "I am sorry but I refuse to be denigrated because the men in this office flirt with me, I work too hard and have done nothing wrong to deserve being the recipient of office gossip" -- It was like I was channeling the goddess-- I tell ya, I DID not see that coming, at all. . .It ended well for me. I think. Who knows. . . I can still feel it all whirling, but I'm glad I stood up for myself. . .

Venus must have been working her magick-- it alll felt very surreal. . . this one man I actually liked. . . well, we have been getting to know each other ever since, and he feels like a long-time kindred spirit. . . strange. . . when he inquired after my number I mocked him to his face and he was smitten enough to find out which dept I worked in and come meet me again. . . a Leo. Funny that he fancied being mocked. Lions tend not to. . . hmmmmm. . . the Sun was being occulted--

That day also happened to coincide with his Saturn Return. . . very karmic and auspicious omens for a meeting day I'd say-- he's having his Saturn return, the Venus eclipse is opposing my Neptune and trine my PLuto and ASC. . . ( He's a Leo, I have Libra Rising-- talk about your Sun/Venus dynamic! His natal Sun is EXACTLY trine my Venus) and there were other aspects afoot, I must make a list and see what they were. . . .

And ever since then it has been kind of a whirlwind of me having to confront all the issues that arise when you meet a new person you actually like. . . the internal whirl. . . the anxieties. . . all of that. . .

I have to say I have never personally felt 'touched' by a transit so deeply. . .

Just thought I would share that. . . looking forward to perusing the latest posts-- the site is lookin' so good!!



Best to all,
Jennifer

Hi Jennifer,

Thanks for the enthusiastic post! I too had a day somewhat like yours. I really felt vital and energy charged. (and had to most exhilerating chats with men!)

We need to watch what happens when Venus transits direct over the same point, on July 22 to July 25th. I am excited to see what the direct motion will resolve out of all the ‘stirred up’ events!

More soon!
Warmly,
Kim

Now that Venus has passed in direct motion over the occultation point, does anyone have anything to report? I certainly had an extraordinary few days.

Touching off Mercury at 18 Gemini, I got a very romantic message, loud and clear—fresh, ardent and alluring! I tell you, it made me feel fabulous.

Any note worthy events out there?

Jupiter is now square the point at 18 Virgo for the next week. Remember, this degree remains a “hot spot” for the next 12 years (until the accompanying occultation).

Comments welcome.

Warmly,
Kim

Hi LunarScorp,

That does sound like the touch of Venus! I am curious about Eros’ transit over this point. I’ll have the ‘Eros in Gemini’ Guide up tomorrow. The contact with 1181Lilith is particularly interesting!

Asteroid Urania is at 18 degrees Gemini right now, and Asteroid Toro is there on the 13th!

Could bring a subtle surprise.

Warmly,
Kim

Yes, that Venus day.....hee hee I remember it well. There is this guy, a Libra, I've known for a couple of years at the gym. He always flirted with me and was friendly, until I decided to call him on it and phoned him at home! Well, he became all weird and backed off and nothing was ever the same again. Very sad. i didn't see him really for about 2 years, and then one day i'm at the gym at the same time as he was, which happened to be june 8th, the day of the occultation, and he comes right up to me and says that he would like to phone me! Caught me off guard, so I said something non-committal thinking he never would. Well, he called me that night. I was so freaked out that I didn't even answer the phone. Hmmm. Wondered what was really going on there, and then he calls me again on July 19th. Isn't that the day that the same degree was triggered? Well, I've decided since seeing him at the gym that he is one of those guys that likes to flirt, but will not be responsible for the flirting energy that he puts out....ie.....unavailable and manipulative. So, I've decided that he doesn't deserve me, which is hard, cause I had to go through this 2 years ago as well. in Tarot card terms, he is a typical king of swords! So, now that my energy is off of him, betcha he'll call again when venus hits that same degree. When will that be again???

Hi Barb,

That’s fascinating. I think I know a few guys at my gym that behave the same way!

Meanwhile, yes, July 19th was very close to the exact activation of the Venus Transit. As with any occultation, you have a kind of “hot spot” 3 days before and 3 days after an exact transit where events can be triggered.

It is possible that he gets “freaked out” too, and part of him may want to connect and the other part may be very afraid, or lack the grounding not to “bolt”.

The sensitive point, 18 degrees of Gemini, is activated by Eros and Lilith this wee, Sept. 3rd – 7th! Mars and the Sun square from Virgo on the 8th – 11th of this month and of course Pluto is opposite at 19 degrees for ages…<br>
If he contacts you again, I’d be tempted to pick up the phone and see what he has to say. Even the King of Swords has a heart somewhere beneath his armour.

Let us know!

Warmly,
Kim

Yes, thanks Kim for that reply. I will definitely let you know what happens in this next week or two...with the venus degree being transited. As for a king of swords having a heart....well that was my downfall. I fell for it...he's a wonderful man on the outside, but once I started confronting him re: his true motivations, he'd run for the hills and would refuse to be honest with me. Dishonesty will not be tolerated anymore. I did get his birthdata and could not resist running it. He has venus in scorpio, conjunct Neptune. He has moon conjunct pluto, and venus sextile pluto. That said a lot...very intense. There's another woman in the picture that he will not talk about...I just know it. Thank goodness for intuition. Anyways, he has been my mercury retrograde lesson, time to let go now. I do, however, LOVE to see the timing of how these little scenarios play out. Oddly enough, his eros conjuncts my psyche! Fascinating huh? We were past life hubby and wife i'm pretty sure. Time to complete our karma, which in this instance is me letting go....finally! whew!
I love your website Kim. I've always used Eros in my readings, it says so much. I also use sappho a lot, as well as amor.
will check in again in 2 weeks with pertinent data! hee hee

Hi Lunarscorp,

Yes, meeting someone new under these transits would seem significant! It is a time of activation of the occultation point, a time where a particular kind of connection is made, one of import.

It makes no statement on longevity or even what kind of connection though anything is possible. If the person has a planet or point contacting the sensitive degree by aspect, all the more meaning!

What happened? I’m very curious now!

Warmly,
Kim that

LunarScorp said:

While I'm here, his Eros is at 22 deg Cancer and mine at 18 deg Scorp. Is that too large an orb to count as a synastry connection with an asteroid?

Nope. That’s a trine in my book. It may take a little longer to get cooking, but the momentum is towards expression of erotic energy.

I love the Saturn/Venus in synastry. I know it can be arduous at times, and even very painful. It may not always be “doable” , but I agree with the venerated Evangeline Adams—it’s an indication of eternal friends. If we could see the beloved this way, even in times of distress, we might just experience a profoundly loving relationship.

Warning—avoid thinking of one configuration “winning out” over another. I know what you mean, and the feeling is totally understandable, but for the synastry to express fully, ALL CONTACTS need to find a creative release. Uranus/Venus needs space and freedom as well as closeness! It’s challenging yet immensely rewarding as it allows for individuation alone with co-existence!

Let us know how you go!

Warmly,
Kim
