My dream life has been busy lately. I’ve had a hard time hanging onto them, though. The last dream I had this morning involved having a conversation with Eric about astrological Venus.
And because I asked the dreamtime for some help with what to write about before I went to sleep last night, I figure I should honor that.
I have natal Venus in Pisces in the 8th house. It might just be my favorite part of my chart. It represents the part of me that is able to see the light in the dark, especially when my own personal life goes to hell, or when I get sucked into desperation while paying attention to the collective.
I’ve called her my guardian angel, although Venus does have quite the shadow side. If I’m honest with myself, I realize that I’ve romanticized and longed to identify with more of a Persephone archetype. But as time goes on, I realize I am quite Venusian, and that the depth I crave is embodied there as well.
The experience of love and heart-opening for me is one of transcendental bliss that pulls me closer to the divine and reminds me of the inherent connection of experience, from depth to height, through exploring intensity and psychological understanding, and then letting it all go.
