Venus~ Yeah Baby She's Got It!

Blessings Beingness Of Light & Love,
or I should say Beauty & Love in honor of Venus and the coming transit.

You may be receiving various information in emails, circulating through the internet and facebook, on the coming Venus Transit June 5th.  It is a predictable astrological occurrence which happens more than a hundred years apart, the next one occurring in December of 2117.  What is not always mentioned is there was a previous Venus transit eight years ago, since the transit happens in eight year cycles.  Something else not mentioned in many articles is that this particular Venus transit is known to be one of the astrological hallmarks of this coming shift of 2012 in relation to the return of the feminine.  The actual transit happens for about ten hours on June 5th, starting at 3:09 Pacific time and going until about 10:09pm.

The last Venus Transit occurred in 2004 of June.  I hadn’t been big into astrology, but for some reason the information on the Venus Transit kept finding it’s way to me and something about it resonated very deeply.  There had been some Venus synchronicity going on for years, but right before the transit it was heightened, including a blister in the shape of a crescent moon forming on the bottom of my foot after a firewalk.  (That’s a whole other story- some other time!!)

There were many signs and initiations that came my way before that day in June, and when I found out that my spiritual family, Agape, who I was traveling with to Italy would be on the top of Mt. Subasio (which St. Francis of Assisi was known to climb every day) during the transit, I emailed Rev. Michael letting him know of our itinerary and the transit, and sharing that a vision of an altar was coming to me.  The response was, “bring whatever you think we’ll need,” 

I gathered a few things from the house, including black sand from Hawaii, which one is never supposed to take, but something I was clearly guided, and asked, over and over to take with me for some future need.  After checking in with Pele many many times, I had in fact taken it, and it was one of the things, along with  a few crystals and a small Venus statue I had gotten from Athens, that was “needed”. 

Everyone had been asked to bring an item for the altar.  We started the walk up the mountain which took a good hour, or maybe two.  We then explored the dwelling place of St. Francis and meandered our way as a smaller group now to a place to set up an altar.  At the end of one of the dirt roads was the place we were meant to be.  It had several rows of wooden benches formed in a semi-circle facing a concrete raised altar!  The altar was set back inside of a small covered space with, from what I remember, the mother mary in stained glass on the rear wall.  It was ideal, and I thanked the Mother for leading us there, and for the opportunity to serve in this way.  On the floor of the altar setup I was guided to take the black sand and make a symbol of Venus, the planet, with the circle on top and cross connected on the bottom. 

We set up other parts of the altar and then I stood in front of everyone and have absolutely no idea what was said, other than something about the Venus transit signaling a time of increased communication and the activation of the divine feminine.

At a certain point the words stopped, and I remember just standing there, almost not knowing where I was or what was going on.  Gratefully, Michael Beckwith got up at that point, stood next to me, took my hand and said a few words as well, and then closed our gathering in prayer. 
I remember talking with a few friends afterwards saying I felt a bit silly, feeling like I had just rambled on and on, having no idea what I was saying.  In fact, no one could remember what was said either, but said that what was specifically shared was irrelevant, that the energy was present and that’s what mattered to them. This still didn’t set well at that time, honestly, and in hindsight it seems the ego was a bit attached to saying something relevant, or wise, or, just, something intelligible perhaps.
In the days that followed, as we neared the end of our trip, several people, all women as I remember, shared with me that what we did on the top of that hill at the time of the transit was the most powerful and meaningful part of the trip for them. 

To put this in perspective a relatively small audience with the Dalai Lama was a part of this trip.

To put this into perspective, the Dalai Lama is on record saying the western woman would save the world. 
Hmm.

The other day I heard a talk at an annual picnic at a retreat center near the coast of Northern California.  The man was a Mesoamerican. He spoke of many things which resonated so deeply, including the role of women as guides, and how that role will continue to increase.  That it will be the women who will bring things back into harmony. (there's a theme here). He also shared that the imbalance in nature is due to the fact that we take without giving back.  Whenever anything is taken from the Mother, something must be given back, and even before that, permission must be asked first before taking.  Many of us have remembered, and are remembering at ever increasing speeds, that it is only our lost ability to see, hear, know Her that we imagine that we exist on dead matter, and can then do whatever we feel like to Her without something being returned.


If any of the above is speaking to you, enchanting you, enlivening you, quickening you- it feels that you are being initiated by Venus.  If none of this is making much sense, you are invited to read the Living Beyond Belief book, even though it doesn’t contain the context of living with the Earth Mother as the coming book does, it is a sharing of insight, story, and poem as a guide to living in greater flow and faith and less and less ego control.  If you do in fact know what I’m talking about and have been feeling so called, get ready for a significant jump in your unique work and spiritual connection.  If you honored the last Venus Transit in ceremony and have been connected with Her energy for many years, hang on to your hats, it is now your time.  That is what is coming over and over.  It’s Goddess Time.  Yeah, baby, She’s Got It, and, if you are bold enough to receive, to allow, Yeah baby, You’ve/We’ve Got It too.

If you are in male form and are resonating deeply with the above and living from/in Divine Beauty and Love, you are graciously thanked, and asked to support these women further in their Venus Rising, as I’m sure you are already doing naturally as you continue in your greatly needed service in these times.

May we all hear the call of the Mother and be immersed in Her Beauty,
May we remember that we are One with the Mother in physical form in this Divine Earth Walk,
that it is not a curse but a sacred and divine opportunity to be here in these most auspicious times!!
In times past, it may have been we were trying to escape the wheel of incarnation, and, so, many of us have~
and have returned to play our part in the great shift.

In divine love & sacred beauty,
Jaia
