Venus across the Sun


Venus across the Sun


written by Veronika Robinson



This morning, just before 5am UK time, Venus made a transit across the Sun. This is rare, happening only twice every 243 years (in pairs). There won’t be another one in our lifetimes.



Venus is often associated with love, not just in astrology, but elsewhere. Venus, however, is also about what we attract and what we’re attracted to. In some ways, our birth chart is like a mandala of manifestation ~ though it is always free will what one does with the blueprint of the cosmos.



Where Venus sits in our birth chart shows what we love, what we’re drawn to, the type of people, places, events we’re attracted to, and what we find beautiful. It also shows our self-love. The sign Venus is in shows the way we're drawn to these things.



So the symbolism of Venus crossing the Sun this morning highlights the need for us to direct our energy inward, and to individually and collectively ask:

 ‘what is it I truly value?’

‘What do I find desirable, beautiful,
harmonious about life, and in this life?


What am I prepared to do to create this for myself,
for the world?’



There are some incredible powerful transits coming up between Uranus (revolution, freedom) and Pluto (transformation) which will affect each and everyone of us. (I’ll write more on this shortly)



 This transit of Venus comes along to remind us of the beauty that exists in this world ~ if only we stop and take notice.



Use this day of the rare transit to observe and give thanks for ALL the beauty in your life ~ and let it carry you through the next few potentially turbulent years.
