Enter the Goddess
Transit of Venus 2004-2012
by Allison Rae
We are on the stage of our current drama, "The Transformation of Consciousness," Scene II, Act I: Enter the Goddess.
As we glimpse voluptuous Venus, bejeweled and beguiling, we view our selves in her role. Confident, sensual, self-assured. The feminine embodiment of Divine Love, Venus takes center stage. The script for this evocative scene has yet to be written. Venus stands alone. Our gaze penetrates the depths of this ancient, rising star, anticipating the jewels of wisdom about to pour forth from her heart.
She speaks:
I am Venus...Aphrodite...Ishtar...Inanna. Goddess of the Night Sky. Preceptor of the Human Heart. Enter the portal of my loving embrace. Transcend your fear. Let go of longing. Abandon loneliness. Discover your Divine Self, your true nature, your soul through me. We shall journey together, among the stars to a place we know of as "home."
Remember…Remember…We are One. We are Love.
Cosmic backdrop
In this time the Hopi call the Great Purification, we are undergoing massive changes both individually and collectively. During our lifetime, vast cycles of time are ending and new ones beginning, basically all at once. We are awakening to a Golden Age of peace and enlightenment unprecedented on Earth.
Special planetary alignments facilitate this transformation. The Harmonic Convergence in 1987 marked the beginning of a 25-year period leading to the ending of the Mayan calendar in 2012. This is when the Maya say we will enter a new cycle they call the World of the Fifth Sun.
The prophecies of indigenous people around the world, as well as ancient wisdom texts, concur that we live at the time of a major shift of consciousness as humanity reawakens to Aquarian ideals of love, peace, prosperity and humanitarian service.
Throughout this transition period, star alignments signify the types of changes that are moving us forward in the evolution of consciousness. These include a rare Solar Eclipse/Grand Fixed Cross alignment on August 11, 1999; three Saturn-Pluto direct oppositions in 2001 and 2002; and the Harmonic Concordance Lunar Eclipse on November 8, 2003.
Most recently, a Lunar Eclipse on the Wesak Full Moon took place on May 4, 2004. This was the culmination of an important cycle and catapulted many into expanded states of awareness and higher consciousness.
Each of these special planetary configurations is a moment of grace, a gateway to interdimensional awareness, a time when the soul is exposed and ripe for contact. They are moments when we may awaken and align with our life purpose more fully.
Awakening
Through the beauty and symmetry of the Divine Plan, we are in the midst of yet another transformational experience, an opportunity to open our hearts and know ourselves even more deeply.
This is the Transit of Venus. The planet of Love will align directly between the Earth and the Sun in early June, opening us to the radiance of our own hearts and transforming us through the power of Love. The process is already in motion.
The Transit of Venus is a rare and powerful alignment when Venus, from certain parts of the world, will appear to make a circuit in front of the disk of the Sun. Venus transits usually occur in pairs. This pair will occur on June 8, 2004, and June 6, 2012. The resonance with the generally accepted Mayan Calendar "end date" is inescapable.
Astronomers and spiritual seekers around the world will flock to places where the transit will be visible. Venus gatherings are being organized in many parts of the world. One group is hosting a conference and ceremony in India during the transit featuring the work of Mayan Calendar scholar Carl Johan Calleman.
Calleman associates this Transit of Venus cycle -- which he calls Passages of Venus -- with the Meso-American prophecies of Quetzlcoatal, the feathered serpent. Quetzlcoatal is another symbol of the Christ Consciousness or Buddha Nature that is awakening in the Earth plane as humanity and the planet transform to our naturally sacred and divine state.
Venus ideals
Before taking the stage in our continuing drama, Venus has shown us her star quality through a courageous warm-up dance with Sir Pluto (a direct opposition on May 2, with two more coming up, on June 2 and July 25) and a retreat into retrograde motion from May 17 through June 29.
This divine orchestration ensures the lessons of Venus will not be lost at this special time! We may view 2004 to 2012 as an eight-year opportunity to fully embody this transformation.
Venus is the mythic goddess of love and finances, so this transit has deep meaning for us in both the emotional and material realms.
Her retrograde motion from May 17 to June 29 emphasizes the importance of evaluating our beliefs and values, discarding what no longer serves, and preparing to create a new paradigm where love and finances reflect our divine, spiritual nature.
As we said, the plot in this drama has yet to be scripted.
Our relationships -- and what we believe about relationships -- will be recast and rewritten. While Venus specializes in Eros (or erotic love), all relationships will be affected. It’s a good idea to keep a journal to record thoughts, impressions, dreams and circumstances during this time to gain clarity on the changes taking place deep within.
Venus is also known as the Goddess of Beauty. She inspires art, music, literature and dance. We may notice the finer aspects of life attracting us these days. Venus may help us uncover hidden creative passions, or at least expand our appreciation of art as well as romance.
Notice the transformational effects in the realm of finances these days - individually, in our communities and in world markets. Purification is at hand. The shift is underway.
Magnetic attraction
Venus teaches us about the feminine principle of attracting what we need as we fulfill our life purpose. Mars, on the other hand, teaches the male ideal of pursuing what we want. Both tactics have merit, in proper proportion and timing.
By aligning with Venus, we will understand better which methods to use, and when. Love and purpose will guide us. We will learn to balance the masculine and feminine. We will rise to higher consciousness as integrated beings with greater awareness and understanding of the nature of Love.
We will also learn more about the feminine principles of receptivity, creation from within, and intuitive awareness. Venus teaches about divine timing, when to act, and when to be in repose so the universal flow of creation may move through us.
Goddess as portal
In Eastern traditions, the Dakini Goddess embodies the principles of divine union and transformation through Love. The Dakini herself acts as the portal through which the male and female aspects may achieve unity in form.
Tantric practice is centered in the heart space. The Transit of Venus reminds us that we may merge with the Divine through the portal of Love, the human heart. This is the domain of Venus.
The heart is also the gateway to the soul. Contact with the soul requires an open heart, and we have the opportunity to clear the heart space during this eight-year window between the Venus transits. There’s no better time than the present, and we have all the support we need from the Universe!
Venus ritual
The Transit of Venus is a six-hour process that will be visible from most of Asia, Africa, Europe, Greenland and the Indian Ocean. The duration of the transit makes it a challenge to coordinate synchronized meditation and ceremony around the world to honor this historic alignment.
In those areas where the "eclipse" can be seen, many will gather to observe and honor the transit. In North America, where many of our readers live, the Sun will rise on June 8 just after Venus completes her dance.
Deborah Knighton Tallarico, a spiritual guide and counselor in Portland, Maine, suggests a personal evening ritual on Monday, June 7, to attune individually with the energy and transformative power of the overnight transit, followed by a sunrise ceremony on Tuesday, June 8. Individually, or in groups, we might greet the Sun at dawn on the first day of the eight-year Venus transit cycle, energized by the hope and promise of this new beginning.
Imagine a "wave" flowing across the country on June 8 as enlightened beings greet the new dawn from our home locations, just as the Venus transit concludes, We might honor the Goddess with soft drumming, chanting and sacred movement as the Sun rises.
Solar rays
The Sun is the other major player in our cosmic drama. During the Venus alignments, his solar rays will reach the Earth through the "lens" of Venus, amplifying her influences, teachings and dreams for all who dwell here.
He shines his magnificent light to illuminate and transcend, even as Venus and Pluto transport us to the core of the human heart. It is our nature to know, to be enlightened, in this next phase of the journey.
As we learn, we will co-create a new paradigm of love and relationship, finances, art and the higher aspirations of the human heart. As conscious beings, we will write the script together. The drama will unfold over the next eight years. When the curtain falls, we will stand resplendent, victorious, courageous -- just as the shining star Venus does now.http://forums.delphiforums.com/n/mb/message.asp?webtag=realmofbeing&msg=7180...
