The word ‘recreation’ has pleasant connotations. There is no reason why the hyphenated term ‘re-creation’ should be any less fortunate. Venus’ role during its retrograde period will be as a reminder to feel fortunate about an apparent and auspicious opportunity to re-create yourself and the world.<\/p>\n
The period between Venus’ retrograde station tomorrow and June 27, when the brightest planet resumes direct motion, will serve as a container of sorts. Within that temporal vessel, there will be an astonishing series of celestial events, one after the other, exceeding in auspiciousness any similar period in your lifetime. Taken as a whole, that series of events implies big changes in your life. Not the kind of changes that leave you feeling helpless and victimized either, but rather the kind you can participate with, as in a dance. That’s the promise held as Venus initiates the container of its retrograde period in opposition to Quaoar.<\/p>\n
Quaoar is named after the creator of the Tongva people, first citizens of what is now Los Angeles, California. As the Tongva conceived it, Quaoar danced all the other deities, one after the other, into being. Each god or goddess so created joined in the dance, participating in the creation of the world. The chart for Quaoar’s June 4, 2002 discovery<\/a> has a lot in common with its opposition to Venus at tomorrow’s retrograde station.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Sun was in Gemini when Quaoar was discovered. Venus is in the process of transiting Quaoar’s discovery Sun three times. The second such transit will correspond very closely to Venus passing visibly in front of the Sun this coming June 5. Wait, there’s more. Quaoar’s discovery chart has the Moon at 26+ Pisces, precisely to the degree where the Moon will be when Venus stations retrograde tomorrow. Finally, the lunar nodes, where eclipses take place, were on an axis from Gemini to Sagittarius back in June of 2002, just as they are now. Also, just as we are now, Quaoar was discovered just days before a solar eclipse (June 10, 2002) and just weeks before a lunar eclipse (June 24, 2002). In other words, there is an astonishing and auspicious symmetry between Quaoar’s discovery and the temporal container it is initiating with Venus tomorrow.<\/p>\n
Quaoar’s auspicious association with symmetry is also as literal as it is figurative. In the parlance of astronomers, an object with a perfectly circular orbit (of which there are none in reality) has a so-called ‘eccentricity’ of zero. Venus sets the standard of perfection with an eccentricity of 0.007. Quaoar’s orbital eccentricity is comparable at 0.039, which is astonishing for an object that ventures out past Pluto into the Kuiper Belt, a place where there are lots of things to bump into. That’s symbolically encouraging, however, considering all the events you and the rest of us are about to bump into.<\/p>\n
After tomorrow’s Venus retrograde station, our celestial dance card will be full until Venus is in direct motion again. We have an annular solar eclipse this coming Sunday, with a lunar eclipse two weeks later. On June 5, Venus will transit the face of the Sun for the last time in this century, and a week after that transit Venus will appear in the East above the rising Sun, after having been in the western twilight for so long. Just days after the helical rise of Venus, we will have the second Gemini New Moon in a row, closely followed by the Cancer Solstice, and then by the first of six long-anticipated Uranus-Pluto squares with Saturn’s final direct station in Libra literally hours later. Three scant days after Saturn stations direct, Venus will too, and it will be a whole new sky, baby. If there’s anything to astrology, it will also be at least the beginning of a whole new world. It will be a world that you will have the opportunity to dance with and co-create as indicated by Venus’ opposition to Quaoar tomorrow. Of course, there are other stories.<\/p>\n
There are many who would tempt you to be afraid of the belt of celestial events you and all of us are about to move through. You would do yourself no favor to heed those who foresee something to fear, however. Fear will only serve to bump you out of your life’s orbit and out of the circle of those who will be participating in the dance to re-create the world. Just being alive on Earth right now is your engraved invitation to that dance. Venus and Quaoar are as much as handing you that invitation and all you have to do is embrace the good fortune of being here to receive it.<\/p>\n

Venus will station retrograde from the latter third of Gemini tomorrow. For nearly six weeks, the brightest planet in the sky will appear to move backwards from our perspective.
