Your brown eyes are my blue skies
They light up the river that the birds fly over Better not to quench your thirst Better not to be the first one diving in Though you caught me and you know why They breathe in the deepest part of the water What's the matter? You hurt yourself? Opened your eyes and there was someone else? Now I've got you in the undertow ~ Warpaint The journey of Venus retrograde is a fascinatingly curious one. When the goddess returns to the underworld, much like the Greek myth Persephone and Hades, disappearing from our skies transforming from evening star to morning star (or vice versa and in reverse in the hemispheres). Another myth is Banumbirr (or morning star) was a creator-spirit in the Yolngu culture of Arnhem Land and she is said to have guided the first humans across the waters to Australia. But as she leaves our skies dying/transforming we are without this guiding light in the skies. In all things Venus we shed a skin, we lose something, to gain something new but we are very much on our own merits and needing to face that realisation/fear. Much like Shukra or Venus in the Vedic texts we have the power to bring something back from the dead or resuscitate new life into our hearts. But this takes us facing our ultimate fear, letting go and leaving a part of us behind. To travel across the ashes and become something different. You cannot enter the underworld without a death - this I ask you to meditate on. This journey has already begun in our skies and culminates in early September. As Venus retrogrades in our sky we have a nourishing Sun in Pushya opposing the full moon in Shravana. Shravana whispers to us to listen. To tune into the silence that will fill us. Shanti or peace is the ultimate restorer over the next few days. Rest is also important to recharge. That being said, there is much in Leo and Aries lighting up the courage within for this love journey so it won't be slow or uneventful but perhaps if only for a day or two: take it easy and make some time for yourself to expand into the silence that has all the answers you need to hear to support you on this path.
