Blessed New Venus Portal in Cancer

The New Venus Portal opened in the early morning of July 25th (Pacific time) and Venus and the Moon will be the closest tomorrow morning on July 26th before dawn. If you get up early, look to the east.

Can you create some space to drop and feel what is moving through the deep river or your heart? 

Venus and Moon will meet at 10 degrees of the initiating water sign of Cancer with Black Moon Lilith nearby. This trio is in a tense square aspect with Jupiter in Aries, preparing to go retrograde with the New Moon on Thursday, amplifying the effects of this portal. The truth that arises to be released may bring more vitality to our sacred mission. 

What patterns are showing up to be purified? Issues of false nourishment may show up. Comfort eating instead of true nourishment.Co-dependence instead of true caring between sovereign beings. Distortions may arise around how we are perceived when we courageously embody our truth. We may be excluded for being true to ourselves. This may feel like an ancient echo of being exiled for giving voice to our experience as women. 

We are deepening into the beauty of surrender with the balsamic Moon on the verge of darkness and Venus in her last leg of her Morning Star cycle before she disappears into the darkness of the Underworld in September. 

Some words came through to describe the energies of this time. 

VENUS IN CANCER

Water is soft and yet it can obliterate mountains.
In time.

The most powerful substance in the world shows us how liquid in motion conquers rocks through micro movements of yielding.

Our resistance doesn't need to be full of tension. We can relentlessly drip towards our destination of a world restored and our children protected.

Our refusal to give up our organic nature, our spark, our humanity can surge in the face of every attempt to control through fear and mechanization.

We can listen to the tides within and know when to ebb and flow, when to receive, when to express. Who to connect with, who to release.

We can dive below the mental into the wellspring of our truth and take a long, sweet drink. We can remember our purity.

We can trickle into each moment
find the crevices
cascade over cliffs
pour ourselves into caverns
gush into rivers
and spread into the fingers of streams
to arrive on the sand
mix with froth and foam
and, finally, merge with the
vastness of ocean.

We can swirl towards a positive future like a great wave, gathering strength in kinship, until we peak in the power of togetherness.

Here, we bask in the care we first sourced from the mystery within, now reflecting all around us like sun on water, in each other.
