Venus Combusta

Venus on her way to the heart of the sun in Scorpio

The phoenix never winces at the spark. Venus combust as she pinwheels across the face of the sun, marking her penultimate cazimi in Scorpio. Her zero turn the final star point after a century of phoenix stunting.

The Sun kissing Venus in her underworld at the zero degree of Scorpio is just the blessing she needs to make the crossing. A reverse baptism of fire that draws its lassoo around the last century and its brutalist consumption of the feminine, pulling the knot tight enough to sever it.

May we now close the book on ancient ancestral imperatives and all our old ways and means borne of it, bidding farewell to everything that was truly never ours to carry. Letting go with grace, remembering that knowing better only counts when you do better because of it.

Today's cazimi marks a significant shift in this Venus retrograde adventure, the place where we can be as blinded by the light as are by the shadow. A tale told in two parts Venus whispers this Scorpio chapter’s end quietly to the Sun. Their dazzling union an inferior conjunction that swallows Lady Love entirely from our skies. Dragging this star point underground for the deepest portion of her retrograde and burying it among other lost treasures. For a long moment our deepest desires and most guarded values are revealed to us in perfect clarity, before they can be weighed by the world.

Do not look away. Hands raised to Venus stare directly into your own heart on fire and all that you left littered underground, gated or still waiting for its perfect moment or a better day. The wider you can open your arms the more you will gather back into its sacred chamber as your distant drummer recalibrates.

The phoenix never winces at the spark.
