The Goddess arrives

8.9.2026

8/9/10

Moving forward we enter a day when Venus will be spending her final few days in her home sign of Libra before she enters Scorpio and an ongoing retrograde. How do you feel? A week where the new Moon in Virgo will happen and also just before the new moon a trine with Venus and the North Node in Aquarius has us looking at our heartfelt stirrings. What is it we love and who? What is it we have to still discover about ourselves that is calling us as we will be pushed to find out during the retrograde of Venus in Scorpio.

Over the course of the next few days from the 9th thru to the 10th we reach a crossroads – again – as true north node trine with Venus in Aquarius on the 9th is like a spotlight in a dark cave giving us a glimpse of something elusive in our lives. It will take a while for it to materialise and probably culminating in the next eclipse Season of which Virgo is also a part in February 2027 but something is being revealed and it’s how we deal with it that matters now. Not entirely comfortable with who we are is a sort of mid transformation state we find ourselves in. No longer the person before 2026 we are something deeper and more solid perhaps but we may still have one foot holding open the door to the past as we look nostalgically back. How can you change? How can you bring to life this part of you striving to come to the surface from the deep emotional waters of the eternal self you are? You will dive into the water sign of Scorpio with the Goddess herself and she will hold your hand.

Coming out the other side and finding an ally in who you are becoming will be the gift. Not needing justification for who you always have been!! Not holding any information as law and seeing how you have to be in a state of innocent wisdom to navigate the next part of the journey of trusting what you do and seeing where it brings you. What is loud in the world will be seen as the peripheral information. It is not reality. The Goddess will show us how She transforms with release. Surrender to the part of us that resists growing. The hurt child has to face the grown up version of itself and be the parent. The lost soul has to find the outstretched hand of others they have to help to find themselves. In the conundrum of divinity we will begin to find how we must turn what we thought as the way on its head.

Do you need to be seen? Then you are not seeing yourself. Do you need to be heard? Then you have not listened to your inner wisdom. Do you need to be right? Then you are not convinced of who you are. Do you need anything to justify your existence?

If you do then you are still navigating from outside in. To be working through these timelines we have to keep bringing it back to how we resolve things and how we react. How does something sit with you? The Goddess is not a hard taskmaster but oh my She demands honesty and if you have been feeling you are adrift on some huge body of water trying to make it to a shoreline that seems to retreat every time you get close to finding the horizon then there is more to do. And in saying that She means there is more to be undone. The undoing is the next step. Unlearn the old habits of survival. Unlearn the dogma of spiritual communities. Unlearn the guidance of the way forward by well intentioned advisors as they have something to sell and it’s not wisdom. Unlearn the hurt of the Goddess as it’s not hers it’s yours!

What happens next! Then you feel a little lost for a while. All the hooks are gone. Those feelings that tugged at you to do what you thought you needed to just to survive or to be someone in the world. The only world that needs saving is yours Beloved through surrender on the deep waters of the Goddess who has been there all along.

Venus enters Scorpio just as Mercury enters Libra and the conversation begins. The quiet voice inside begins to be more present.

Uranus retrograde in Gemini for the next five month and this will be a descent into something valuable we need to learn about communication also. Guiding us to rethink our daily routines and what we accepted as normal and not necessarily heartfelt.

Mercury will form a sextile (harmonious aspect) to Pluto in Aquarius and opposing Neptune in Aries retrograde on the 12th. The next few days have lightbulb moments we may need but remember those lightbulbs also cast shadows and we are looking at what we hide and how we value it’s worth when in fact it may be the very thing we hold as shame. The Goddess leaves no stone unturned to show us who we are – and we really wanted to know lol so She is guiding us home to who we are!

Moving forward happens as we undo the pattern of how we behaved – but also how we envisioned ourselves. Behaving towards ourself with kindness and patience even when we are pushed to recognise something we are not comfortable ensures we are growing and the world is a better place just because we continue to grow!
