Venus - Inanna begins her ASCENSION
THE FIRST GATEWAY
VENUS HAS BEEN OUT OF THE UNDERWORLD since July 14, 2016. She is now preparing herself to confirm her renewal.
"VENUS BUILDS A NEW BODY OF LIGHT AND LOVE"
as she passes through the seven gateways of the Crescent Moon for the next 7 months.
 The Moon as represented by our individual souls IS the gateway for  Venus as she emBODIES a new feminine archetypal energy.
EACH GATEWAY CORRESPONDS TO A CHAKRA. At each gateway she will put back on the garments she had shed when she made her descent into the Underworld. (When Venus is in the Underworld we can't see her from Earth, she is neither a morning or evening star.)
As Inanna took her journey, we too took ours. We have been shedding our outer garments. The ancient myths called these the 7 gates. As we enter each gate, we shed an old layer of ego. As Inanna was stripped of her garments, her jewels, all that she considered to be parts of her Self, we too have been stripped of those aspects of our ego that will no longer serve. You may wish to read "Venus Cycles and her Underworld Journey" esp if you are new to this site or have not already read about the cycles of Venus.
Now as Venus begins her ASCENT, we are being asked to redefine Venus, Innana. Our Soul directs us into new experience, a new territory of the embodimet of the Divine Feminine.
"It has been said that the heavenly alignments determine human destiny. However, it seems the truth is greater and more mysterious than this. It is not our future or our personalities that the stars predict, it is the stars themselves reflecting the designs of the Soul."
Venus will continue to rise and return, this time as our Evening Star to grace our skies at every Crescent Moon until the end of 2016 and into the winter of 2017.
We will beging receiving an intensification of the qualities, potentials, and strengths of the collective Feminine Self through the sign of LEO and each of the 7 chakras which correspond to each gateway.
VENUS REAFFIRMS ONE OF THE FIVE STAR POINTS every 8 years. It takes 5 synodic cycles around the sun to create a Venus Star around the zodiac every 8 years. Each time she does this, she realigns herself with a new, more progressive energy relating to the sign of the "point" that begins the current cycle. At the current time, it is the paradigm LEO she is developing for the Divine Feminine.
As Venus reemerges the collective vision for VENUS LEO VALUES are strengthening:
A WOMAN'S SOVEREIGNTY - FEMININE LEADERSHIP - ENGAGEMENT WITH CHILDREN and CHILDREN'S ISSUES - LOVE of the SELF - APPRECIATION AND EXPRESSION of one's gifts and talents - TUNING INTO WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL VITAL AND ALIVE - RENEWED SEXUALITY - A RENEWAL OF YOUR CHILDLIKE SPIRIT AND SENSE OF PLAY! - and perhaps the most important: she is teaching us a NEW KIND OF LOVE, a love that is on the forefront of human development.
As Leo rules the HEART, the deep heart, where all people connect as one, will be stirred. We will be informed of a new way to express and expand our hearts in the world. We will express a new level of woman's sovereignty, self love, and personal empowerment. This will not manifest as selfishness but rather the vitality of self-expression, creativity, and joy of living out the qualities within us, the qualities that make us SHINE!

"I AM THE LION QUEEN!"
LEO is not just a solar aspect of the masculine. The feminine also has this solar aspect within herself! You are meant to shine as children do!
We (and the old body of Venus) will move from this weak and deminished flower to
explore a more developed, skillful LEO archetype.
(MUSIC from 1975! by Helen Reddy!)
We are the Divine Daughters being REBORN. We receive a burst of cosmic love and support of all that is positive in the sign of LEO each time Venus goes through a GATEWAY of the CRESCENT MOON.
Again, that will begin August 3rd and continue for the next 7 months into 2017. HORNS TO THE LEFT is our CRESCENT MOON in the WEST at evening time just after the sun sets. Venus will pass through this gateway at each Crescent Moon.
We as a tribe are being asked to affirm and live out a more GROUNDED LOVING HEART ENERGY, one that can manifest in increased health and well-being of ALL THE TRIBE. Everyone goes together to vitalize one another!
VENUS passes through the FIRST GATEWAY, the first CHAKRA as she begins her ASCENT.
We are being asked to revitalize and reaffirm our FIRST or BASE CHAKRA, the chakra of survival and grounding.
We explore the mystery of SOVEREIGNTY AS IT RELATES TO HEALTHY SELF LOVE.
We reclaim all that makes us healthy and vitalizes our lives as we PUT BACK ON the ROBE, a symbol of the physical body. This is happening in our deep psyche during the month of August. As you regain your energy and self esteem, Venus rises as EVENING STAR. Her stay in the UNDERWORLD has prepared her for a new empowerment in the area of her survival and grounding which reaffirms in the sign of Leo, the sign of self love and vitalizing love for her children, for a renewal of HEARTFUL LIVING AND LOVING!
"EACH GATEWAY IN THE HEAVENS MIRRORS YOU, BODY AND SOUL."
Your stay in the UNDERWORLD for the past few months, in whatever way that has looked for you, has prepared you for a new empowerment in the area of survival and grounding. More heartful living and loving can come your way now.
"BRINGING DOWN THE MOON" - this Goddess figure from Africa represents the embodiement of Venus through the Soul of the Moon. (She is much more than a fertility Goddess as described in most interpretations of this early feminine form.)
Each individual woman participates in this process of ascension. In the ancient world every 8 years after Venus had reaffirmed all five points, a huge celebration of LIGHT AND LOVE took place. Each man reclaiming his inner feminine, and each woman reclaiming a new incorporation of the feminine divine.
We REBIRTH the DIVINE DAUGHTER!.... through a different chakra at each Crescent Moon until finally we put on the crown of a Sovereign Queen at the 7th and final gate. Venus/Inanna becomes Queen of Heaven and the cycle is renewed.
"SACRED BODY" by Dixie Gladstone
I wrote this poem in 2001 after a long passage of ill health:
Sacred Body buring bright
holding vessel of my light,
Courage guide my every step,
Grace and strength and heart be kept.
Torch that leads and hand held high,
beast and beauty, voice and sigh -
sacred body burning bright
hold the vessel of my light.
DG 6/2001
"I TOTALLY LOVE, ACCEPT and RESPECT MYSELF."
The work of the embodiment of incorporating LEO VITALITY into a HEALTHY, STRONG SENSE OF SELF will allow greater LEADERSHIP capacities for women. The care of our bodies as VESSELS OF LIGHT, the care of our children's bodies as vessels of light also will be communicated in the ways we vitalize, encourage, and support one another.
This was most recently seen on a collective level at the Democratic convention with Hillary Clinton's support of women. There was also much talk of children and for the need for free continuing education for all our children.
We are passing through GATEWAY #1 on AUGUST 3rd. LOOK UP IN THE SKY DUE WEST just after the sun sets to see this beautiful sight!
The color of our base chakra is RED.
The flower and fruit that can heal it are POMEGRANATE.
Meditate on the clear red of this ruby at your BASE CHAKRA for vitality, life force, and strength. Ruby carries the frequency of the enlightened base chakra. It is one of our most exquisite gronding stones!
Let's continue using our grounding stones to help us this month:
RUBY
GARNET
SMOKEY QUARTZ
RED JASPER
GIRLFRIENDS, WHAT OTHER GROUNDING STONES DO YOU USE?
WEAR YOU RUBY SLIPPERS and committ to stay grounded. Your base chakra is the key to your survival.
Symbol for VENUS (write it down in your journal), see how it looks like a mirror? Venus is a divine and mysterious mirror. Look in a mirror and send that face some LOVE! You deserve it and it is a primal need of all of us in human bodies to love and be loved. It is just as important as food or breathe or warmth.
See yourself as flesh and blood and BEAUTIFUL! ...no matter what your size or shape don't let distorted images of yourself take you down.
"I LOVE MYSELF, JUST AS I AM - NO MATTER WHAT!."
♥
"I AM THE LION QUEEN!"
If you go to a women's circle, tell each other how strong and beautiful you really are. Reaffirm each woman's right to love and be loved. Reaffirm that it is your human woman's right to be a leader, ...... what other affirmations might you choose to share with women as you go around your circle?
"You are a beautiful, sweet, woman part of all that is."
This ancient Queen from Nimrud, one of our first cities, looks secure. She has a balanced base chakra. She is strong and STRENGTH is one of the qualities we will be developing more as Venus makes her ASCENT.
This is our time for renewed STRENGH! (Journaling time...)
- What does renewed strength look like for you dear soul sistar?
- What makes you feel strong and grounded?
- Are you participating with your body in it's well being, in its basic needs for a good diet, a way to bring in income to assure your security?
- If you are living in fear about some basic need not being filled, how can you use this resurgence of heart and love energy to help vitalize yourself and restore your courage?
- Am I being called to be a leader in some area of my life?
- What are my gifts and talents and how can I share them?
My next article will be about MOON SIGNS. Then, back to GATEWAY #2 and Venus. We will go back and forth between Venus and the Moon for the next series of articles. We are BODY and SOUL! When we watch Venus going through her gateway we are participating in cosmic design, cosmic love, cosmic rebirth! When we comprehend the meaning and divine purpose of our Moon through CYCLES OF BECOMING we can put these two potent feminine forces together in our minds and hearts and be the carriers of a new wisdom of human female potential.
More to come my darling sistars,
lots of 'new' love from,
