Birthing Venus

The birthing time is a hidden place where the Goddess dances with her shadow and manifests the part of her character she has kept close to her heart. She has spent time confronting her shadow and meets it at this midway point (Neptune sextiling Pluto). The transformative waters wants to clear the veils of illusion we find we were once comfortable with on the journey back to self. She won’t rest easy in this space. She knows she can’t as it is the Goddess who surrenders to the deepest waters in her that will flood the Nile (consciousness). Her journey was always to break through the veil and to see Mars in Virgo find the secret part of her that is ancient. The fire would ignite the rawness of her soul and the waters would bring her eternal knowing back to the light. It was merely resting in the heavens for the doorway to be opened once again.

She was cast down into the waters to emerge from the deepest part of herself and rose to the surface reborn. This is our journey as Woman and as Goddess. It has never changed, we have followed the map of the heavens just as it has been prompted by our awakening.

Lilith will cast a side glance at our journey and ask have you stood before the flame of your cosmic heart and allowed it burn through the veils of illusion? Do you think there is no more to you than this human self! She will not take no for an answer as she knows you are here to be revealed. Her task is to prompt your shame to be fired up (Mars) by your walking into the ancient cave of creation that is an echo of the soul (Neptune sextiling Pluto in Capricorn). You swim deeper into the waters of creation and you emerge from a slumber of having been in exile. The coming weeks will see this journey take flight as Venus herself comes out of her shadow (Sept/Oct) but we are still in the birthing fire of the Goddess and her heart is aflame. She asks only that you go further into your heart than you ever thought possible Beloved. Because the doorway is there it always has been.

Create through this time in a deeply intuitive way. You may find there is no logic to what you think or feel. But who said you were just a logical being? And what part does logic play in creation..very little.

There is something in the air in the stillness that you can’t quite put your finger on perhaps. A memory just out of reach. But recall from your dreams your deepest knowing as you swim in the waters of creation and let the child (Leo) play. The revelation we wait for is the Self and to expose it fully to our hearts we stand naked before our consciousness and once more prepare to embrace our innate (cosmic) self.

Happy 8!! The eternal forever and ever that is Love!
