Upcoming Venus retrograde cycle

The upcoming Venus retrograde cycle may hold some surprises for the world. During its retrograde period Venus asks us to revaluate what we are attracted to and often shows us how and where our values have changed.  In 2020, Venus goes retrograde at 21º of Gemini on May 13, 2020 and begins to move forward on June 25, 2020.

A new Earth-Venus synodic cycle begins on June 3, 2020, almost exactly in the middle of the retrograde cycle, when Venus conjoins the Sun. An alignment of Earth, Venus and Sun when Venus lies between Earth and the Sun is called an inferior conjunction. The Venus transit is of course seen from the Earth (geocentric) as we look toward the Venus-Sun conjunction in the constellation and sidereal sign of Taurus (tropical 13 Gem). A synod however is defined looking from the Sun (heliocentric) toward the two or more planets that are aligning. Thus, the Earth-Venus synod is seen in the exact opposite part of the zodiac, in this case in sidereal Scorpio (tropical 13 Sagg.) amid the stars  of Ophiuchus and Hercules.

In the stellar image, Ophiuchus stands confidently holding the serpent (Serpentis) coiled around his body and crushing the Scorpion of death under his feet. Ophiuchus is the medicine man - healer and fixer of all things that have gone wrong.

Hercules stands upside down just above Ophiuchus, with his feet in the realm of the gods; and with his head and hands at work in the realm of humankind aiding those in the incarnate world struggling to claim their freedom from perpetuated mortal entrapment. Hercules helps and teaches others to claim their self-mastery and freedom from the dominion of others and from false beliefs placed upon them.

In a previous post entitled,  End of the Old Paradigm, I wrote:

…(we are being inspired) to see the difference between those that dictate life and attempt to control from those that seek to use their influence to empower others—the people. The question we are being asked to address: Are we living true to creating a higher path that is truly nurturing or are we acquiescing to the dictates of a crumbling old paradigm or personal modality.

The Mayans believed that the point at which Venus reaches her heliacal rising about six to seven days  after her inferior conjunction with the Sun (June 3), was when political situations were particularly unstable and leaders insecure and fallible. Bruce Scofield says he has found the heliacal rising, “often corresponds to a time of failure or resignation on the part of leaders”.

As viewed from Earth, at  the time of its heliacal rising, Venus will move over the star Aldebaran. This movement will not only bring the fall of undeserving leaders but the empowerment of those who have the good of humanity at heart.

Aldebaran holds the vision for global leaders and world servers inspiring the administrative planning of world affairs, specifically for physical logistics and a global infrastructure designed to support humanity through evolutionary growth and change. Prominent alignments with the Aldebaran / Antares axis can express into the business and political arenas, and is of their leaders.

Notice that the Venus station retrograde on May 13 [21ge] is conjunct Donald Trump’s radix Sun [23ge] opposite his Moon [21sa]. In a previous post [1], I depicted this opposition as Orion fighting with the Scorpion!

Here is Donald Trump’s lunar return for June 6, 2020 just three days after the synod. Notice that the synod is placed very significantly on the IC of the chart.  I leave my readers to think about what it might mean. Comments are welcome.

PS: Venus station on May 13 at [21ge] is also conjunct the US Sibly radix Mars [21ge] square Neptune [22vi]. Mars is the ruler of the 4^th house. Being opposite the 10^th house (government or president), in a national or mundane horoscope, the 4^th and its ruler  governs the opposition.
