In today&#8217;s edition, I look at the Venus transit of the Sun on June 5, 2012 \u2014 a rare and beautiful event that is at the heart of 2012 astrology. <\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s hard to believe that it was eight years ago when I stood in Avebury Henge in England and watched with my own eyes as Venus traced a line across the Sun. It was amazing that I was in a part of the world where it was visible, and that I met someone who had the right equipment to watch it safely. I covered that in an article you may remember called <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/planetwaves.net\/astrology\/transitofvenus.html\" target=\"_blank\">Day Zero<\/a><\/strong>, wherein I consciously began the interval between one Venus transit of the Sun and the next. They come in pairs separated by eight years; these pairs in turn are always separated by more than a century. <\/p>\n<p>On June 5, 2012 we will experience the second event of the current pair; then humanity will have to wait until 2117 to experience anything like this again. The Mayans were obsessed with the cycles of Venus, and this Venus event is something I am looking to closely for a real understanding of the processes deep in the psychology, healing and growth of the most important year of our lives. The transit takes place in Gemini, and is about the reconciling of opposites within us. That containing and embracing of inner polarities is one of the most human experiences of all, and will influence each of us in a different way.<\/p>\n<p>You can think of it as the direct grounding of the truly unusual placements in the sign opposite from Gemini, which is Sagittarius. It&#8217;s as if some vast spiritual teaching is going to settle into our direct human experience. <\/p>\n<p>This audio (use link to access recording) takes you through the utterly amazing month from May 20 through the Cancer solstice of 2012. <em>Revelation.
