<\/dt>\nThe last time Venus entered Sagittarius to square Neptune in the first degree of Pisces, 1685 was just getting underway. That’s a long time ago. It goes back much further, to a time uncertain, to have Magdalena in the first degree of Aries on the same day.<\/p>\n
Magdalena is named after Mary Magdalene, whose legend is rife with uncertainty. She is reputed to have been an exceptional woman of independent means. Her extraordinary nature probably accounted for how she came to play a key role for one of Western Civilization’s seminal figures. The seminal experience of asteroid astrology has likewise been that the name of an asteroid plays a key role in its interpretation.<\/p>\n
The interpretation of Magdalena is thus straightforward. It represents how the divine and the feminine are inseparable. A flowing fire trine from Venus at the very beginning of its time in Sagittarius anchors that interpretation to the beginning of all things, long before civilization, Western or otherwise.<\/p>\n
The mythical Venus came first in a new order. She emerged from a vast ocean immediately after the Earth and sky severed their relations. She was the first attraction, holding everything together as the rest of the pantheon assembled. Were there to have been a condominium on Mount Olympus, her card would have borne the number one.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The planet Venus, entering Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter, is a symbolic return to that primeval peak. Through its trine to Magdalena, the ancient origin of the Divine Feminine manifests as through a flow of spiritual fire. It is the source of spirit seeking to arise anew in a manifestation of balance not yet fulfilled at the beginning of the zodiac, the Aries Point.<\/p>\n
When the Sun enters Aries, the astrological year begins anew in balance and equality for all earthlings at the Vernal Equinox. Magdalena will not only emulate the Sun when Venus enters Sagittarius, it will also revisit how its origins in our consciousness connect with that of Neptune’s discovery.<\/p>\n
Both Magdalena and Neptune were first observed on the Libra Equinox. Specifically, it was September 24 1846 in Neptune’s case, and September 24, 1891 for the the emergent asteroid. That is to say they both have the same birthday, the day when the Sun enters Libra to oppose the Aries Point in conversant balance from the other side of the astrological year. That fact will convey a poignant counterpoint when Venus enters Sagittarius to square Neptune even as it simultaneously trines Magdalena.<\/p>\n
There is no living memory of how it felt the last time Venus entered Sagittarius to square Neptune at the gateway to Pisces. Neptune the planet was not yet part of human awareness. The experience of living in 1685 has been largely submerged into history.\u00a0<\/p>\n
We know that baroque composers Bach and Handel were both born in 1685 (Bach on the first day of solar Aries). Their music gives us some idea of their origins. On the whole, however, Venus square Neptune this weekend will likely plunge you into unfamiliar passions, immersing you in unprecedented reveries. That scenario has the paradoxical prospect of finding yourself as vulnerable and exposed as you have ever been, even as you are exhilarated and refreshed as never before. <\/p>\n
The key is to act boldly on your own behalf while gently holding space for others to dive in. It will more necessary than ever for you to create the experience of your life, and it will be good practice for what is to come.<\/p>\n
It will take more than three weeks for Venus to traverse Sagittarius. That time will include a Capricorn Solstice anticipated like none other in living memory, a cornerstone cultural holiday (or two, or three) long overdue for re-booting, and the paradoxical sense that we are all coming out and falling in together at the same time. This weekend is a good time to get the feel for both acting and flowing to new ground that will be as safe and solid as you make it.<\/p>\n
