We can, however, get a sense of what’s developing and how you fit in by noting how Venus and Saturn fit into the big picture. The big picture is Uranus and Pluto consummating a cardinal square dance during the weekend just past, initiating an epoch during which that climax will be repeated periodically over three years. For Saturn and Venus to station direct precisely as Uranus and Pluto’s central epoch opens is a conjunction of events in time.<\/p>\n
Astrology’s conventional conjunctions are in space. Two symbols in the same degree of the zodiac represent two objects close together in our sky. Spatial conjunctions connote the beginning of a new cycle, and a merger of energies as regards to the objects involved. It stands to reason that a temporal conjunction would have a similar set of meanings for the events involved. If you accept that reasoning, it would make sense to begin by defining the events that constitute the conjunction in time taking place now between Venus, Saturn, Uranus and Pluto.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When a planet resumes direct motion, it is beginning its third swing over the same part of the zodiac. Based on your own life, a third time can mean more than one thing. It can be the proverbial charm, precipitating a desired result. It can also be the third strike, terminating further opportunity. While a first occurrence can be construed as a fluke and a duplication a coincidence, the third repetition of anything clearly defines a pattern. Finally, intentionally repeating an experience three times nearly always moves you from acquaintance, through familiarity to thorough understanding. Which, of all those possibilities, is most likely to be expressed following the respective stations of Saturn and Venus, is the next thing you would want to examine.<\/p>\n
The Venus retrograde now coming to a close has included its last transit of the Sun for more than a century. In addition, Venus moved from being visible in the west at evening to being visible in the east at morning. None of those occurrences will repeat during the last shadow phase of Venus’ retrograde cycle. Therefore, the resumption of direct motion in cerebral Gemini will be unlikely to define a pattern and most probably will be an opportunity to understand more deeply what Venus represents from a perspective born of repetition. <\/p>\n
What is available for your understanding depends on whether the Venusian properties of attraction expressed in your life have led to indulgence or exploration. If you have been over-indulging, Venus’ last pass through Gemini may represent a last chance to return to reason. If you have been exploring the meaning of attraction, the coming weeks may be the charm that allows you to merge the energy of Venus and Saturn in temporal conjunction. That’s because Venus rules Libra.<\/p>\n
Saturn first entered Libra in time for Halloween of 2009, opening the period of outer planet cardinal squares from which the nascent Uranus-Pluto epoch developed. Now, Saturn’s relationship to Uranus and Pluto is distant in both time and space. This morning’s direct station represents the beginning of the end for Saturn’s participation in aspects between cardinal signs. From here on out, it’s here on out. The concluding shadow phase of Saturn’s last retrograde cycle in Libra may thus be construed to be that which defines a pattern. <\/p>\n
Your life may very well reflect a similar pattern in the making when Saturn’s role as a limiting influence defines how and whether attraction, as symbolized by Venus, precipitates the beginning or ending of relationships as symbolized by Libra. Once again there is a question: will Saturn’s final lap in Libra be the charm you have been seeking? Or is it the last chance for gas as all roads converge into a temporal conjunction that brings all of us together — both symbolically and literally — where seasons change?<\/p>\n
When the Sun enters a cardinal sign, seasons change. When seasons change, we all have a common and concurrent experience of the Sun as either providing equal light (with an equinox) or changing direction (with a solstice). The weekend that just concluded took all of us together, all at the same time, into an epoch wherein Uranus, imbued by Aries fire, and Pluto, digging into Capricorn’s earth, will symbolically contest within each of us. In doing so, they will emulate the Sun and determine the nature of history’s next season. <\/p>\n
As the long Uranus-Pluto contest begins, Saturn and Venus are concurrently stationing direct. The conclusion of two separate retrograde cycles is thus merging with a new epoch like tributaries of time flowing together to form a longer, wider cycle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
One tributary, from Venus and Gemini, will contribute the perspective and understanding of attraction that has symbolically eclipsed consciousness itself while moving from one side of the sky to another. In the other tributary, from Saturn and Libra, will flow a much longer experience of relationship tested by tension and defined by limitation. Both streams will contribute their concluding energies to the conditions that determine how the newer, longer cycle will begin, proving that your role in the history being made is immediate and not abstract.<\/p>\n
In the weeks to come, as Venus and Saturn conclude their retrograde cycles, you will contribute to the course of history. How thoroughly you understand the nature of attraction after Venus takes you through the lessons of Gemini for the third time will, in part, determine how well you understand your place in the course of personal and political events over the next three years. <\/p>\n
The patterns that take shape as you encounter Saturn’s defining limitations on relationship for the third time will influence the patterns of how you relate to both sudden and unlikely events. They will also influence how capably you will adapt and adjust to the inevitable transformations that will initiate over the next several years. So, if you begin seeing the same things going by for the third time this week, take note and take action because those events will represent the beginning of your personal conjunctions in time.<\/p>\n
