Venus Cazimi ~ Mercury Retrograde ~ Scorpio Season and Full Moon in Venus Ruled Ta**us.
♏️
Approaching the light of the full Hunters Moon, from Venus in the heart of the Sun today October 23rd , we find ourselves at a significant turning point. Rebirth.
🔥
The significance of it can feel like a dressing down of every aspect of our lives, a face-up, looking squarely at ourselves, confronting once more! Truth, facing all our attachments, ghosts, fears and inner demons and all of our false social realities. Transformation begins. The full light on the path, we are unable to hide... we are the hunted and the hunter. How and what will you stand for in the hour of this reset.
♀️
On this 23rd day of October Mercury has stationed retrograde, Scorpio season begins and Venus in the heart of the sun can be compared with spiritual purification and likened to a great bonfire ceremony, cleansing and blessing the passageway to new life.
🐦🔥
Walking across the hot coals of your past and braving the dangers of crossing over high speed rushing waters, the intensity of this moment may bring all of your past major relationships or other forms of traumas forward and up; catastrophes and personal tragedies, anything keeping US from the truth and true intimacy and creating genuine connections. Until we burn and rebirth we don't get to the other side. The other side is where our hearts open and our whole being unites again with the unified True Soul Purpose and its resonating desires.
🌞
We are all going through it and it is better to simply allow the rushing waters of this cascading river and the blazing flames of purification to carry us through.
♎️
It can feel most evident that no reality is hiding from our sight and our ears. Detach from any drama. Go straight to facts and truth. No stone is unturned now. We see it all, hear it all and we are given the opportunities during this Mercury retrograde in Scorpio to connect with all kinds of intense and mis-communication, make factual corrections and put "back into new order" - to review our personal, relational and professional roadmaps.
🐉
This is an opportunity for great moments of personal rebirth.
🔆
The Numerology of this week from the 22nd through to the 31st of October is the bridge between 15/6 and 15/6. In Tarot this is the Devil. The symbology is powerful.
🖤🤍
It appears that we are focusing on a combination of transformational themes and yet the "Devil" frequencies in this week are centred around fears, lies, deceit, and ignorance resulting in doubt, pessimism and negativity. This may feel like a halt, restricting and limiting energy to your creativity, and yet you may simply be lifting the final blockages of your own self deceptions.
Strangely the Devil as a word comes from the root meaning ‘adversary’ – someone or something that acts contrary to our interests and welfare. This can be our own subconscious fears and limitations. It may be others, but the opposite truth can also be Real, it is often ourselves. Expect that this is going to be highlighted, personally and, yes globally.
🖤🤍
However, Venus at her depths in the underworld of Scorpio and at zero point with the Sun will also likely be singing ‘The sun’s gonna shine on everything you do’ – two things can be true at the same time. There can be light and dark, and both can be equally true. The Venus retrograde path in Scorpio, since the 3rd October, focused on an intense, psychological journey "unearthing the underworld" of our lives. Because Venus is in its detriment in Scorpio, the planet of love and harmony was forced to do messy, deep, and uncomfortable work rather than keeping things light and superficial.
🅿️
LET'S not forget Pluto, Lord of the Underworld and a very slow moving planet recently ended his retrograde of 5 months and is slow moving forward, a heavy transformation in this same picture.
🦂 ♏️
Issues of intimacy, trust and control rose up through the medium of smoke, mirrors, confrontations and the psychic collective going through radical inner transformation. Now as the frequency of 15/6 holds a bridge for our crossing, the adversary energies are under lazer focus, Venus Cazimi declaring the NO MORE OF THIS moment.
Mercury Retrograde from the 23rd is opportunistic soil until November 13th, where we reevaluate and rewrite our personal and collective project map. Most definitely each person in some way will be clearing out, burning out, rewriting and preparing and clearing up communication errors; standing up to or against the old Self no longer tolerant of any ‘adversary’, inner or outer, and then preparing to move forward.
✨️
All of our insecurities have been exposed and loyalties tested, buried secrets and their final threads come through now, to show us who we are riding for and the final decisions face-on: ‘IS THIS WORTH IT, my time, my loyalty and my energy and does this align with me as a whole new person?'
♉️
This full moon in Ta**us, Scorpio season, could not be more potent. Are you the hunted or the hunter and what exactly are you running from, real or imagined? Have you uncovered the subconscious drivers of your running or hunting?
Have you forgiven yourself? Have you forgiven it all by simply handing it over to Gaia, The Divine and the Infinite?
💘
Stand still at Mercury’s river of reflection and 'taking a moment' period. FIND your inner BULL. Feel dangerous in your goodness, but there is no need to weaponize this energy, this is about Transformation and Power, rather than feeling threatened and rising against false deception.
🌙 🌔 🌕
Look with wide full moon eyes at what the facts, truth and clarity are IN YOU, what it exposes clearly to you, and we will all walk bravely, fearlessly through the fires of the Sun and into the depths of the purification waters that this period brings.
🐦🔥
All will be well, for we are all growing new feathers, scales and inner furnaces for our phoenix or dragon energies. Let all of these forces be felt deeply as there is no other way now, than to embrace Transformation, Rebirth and Renewal and Change.
Of course we will brave the ugly truth, but that is far better than a fake or a lie.
♀️
Venus will slowly emerge in the sky again at the sight of this full moon in Ta**us on the 26th, whom she rules. Her battlefield in the depths of Scorpio is shifting, though still retrograde, she will bring balance to disharmony in the Self and the current realities as she moves into Libra, the Scales and the Emperor, to reconcile and mediate our transformation.
⚖️
Her retrograde in Libra from October 25th to November 13th aligns with this Mercury Rx so perfectly, and in alliance with Chiron's return to Aries. We are blending the energies of rebalancing relationships, reassessing personal values, and fairness within the framework of reviewing past cycles. It is time for change of policy. Chiron in Aries simply reminds us that we have the right to take up space and have our needs met. If you don’t speak up, nothing can happen. Clarify and prepare your information before engaging. Mercury is the magician here, giving you magical extra exam time to prepare your position or speech.
🖊 📃
Address any unfinished business, review details, unspoken resentments: get them off your plate, out of your heart and head, with finality as it is Not about reviving them, it is about burning them.
🔥
FIRE Is burning, but no cauldron should be bubbling. The time for building a case is over, it is now a time of forced closure and purification. Venus’ star point today is a marked moment of sudden clarity, symbolic rebirthing, a deep emotional reset, which acts as the bridge before she backs out of the heavy depths of Scorpio waters into diplomatic Libra.
♎️
Let’s take a bow today as we walk through fire and water together, to purify and colour the path that lies ahead, one where our position is clear and our stance is certain and None shall be mistaken in the clear message that,
We do not respond to fear, but We rise in Truth, Authenticity and as a Unified Tribe. Together.
🙌
Namaste Fellow Humans – Light and Dark be Truth – May it all come to Light.
