Venus entered Capricorn earlier today, gaining ground for a four-month stay that will include the rarest of retrogrades. Consider participating. Consider it to be a long dance you can sustain. Keep it simple and easy. Every day when you awaken for the next four months, put your feet on the solid surface beneath you and pause before standing. Wait until your feet feel as solid as the surface. Wait a bit longer, then start your day.<\/p>\n

It will be easier and more simple than the long dance ceremony as practiced by some of the American First Nations, but it will add up to serve some of the same purpose.<\/p>\n

That dance ceremony is difficult to sustain. It is a marathon, a dance that lasts all night. It pushes physical life to its limits for the purpose of renewing commitment to participation in physical life.\u00a0<\/p>\n

From today until it finally departs Capricorn for Aquarius next year on March 5, Venus is offering you a viable alternative to the long dance practiced by the First Citizens of the Americas. It will not require you to push your life to its limits. It will only require you to devote a few minutes to begin every day as a renewed commitment to your own physical life.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Some roll out of bed. Some leap out of bed. Unless you clearly remember your first moments of feet on solid surface, however, you were not really there. Such a beginning does not bode well for the rest of your day.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Being here is what Venus, initiating one-third of a year of dancing back and forth on cardinal earth, is symbolically inviting you to do. Venus is asking you to be here, in the body, feet first and feeling it, tangibly grounding every day as you initiate it. There is good reason you should accept that invitation now.<\/p>\n

Whether you saw it or not, the Scorpio solar eclipse last Sunday was something you should not disregard or underestimate in correspondence to your life. There is a distinct possibility that your existence felt less physical after the Moon put a spot of darkness into the Sun’s day. Now it’s a new day, and a chance to get your feet back on the ground.<\/p>\n

Once you are more grounded, more will be possible. Eventually, perhaps you will be able to proceed from the ground into more than you ever dreamed to be possible, but leave that for another time. For now, make it enough to start your long dance.<\/p>\n

One day at a time, one step at a time, it’s a long night’s dance drawn out over months. It’s something you can do so long as you have feet, and can put them on the ground. Just do that every morning, taking long enough to feel it take hold, long enough for you to really be there. Then let one step follow another. It will add up to strengthen your connection with the Earth, the sky and your life. Simply do it. It’s easy. Do it, and see where it takes you.<\/p>\n
