It’s anybody’s guess what this transit might trigger, but it’s safe to say that intense, unexpected events will follow. Whatever is unsustainable, in your life or the world at large, will be subject to change.

Frazzled nervous systems need gentle soothing. The reassurance of hugs, books, pictures, homemade pie, connection, touch… I’ve been spontaneously doing self Reiki, for the first time ever. Gentle touch, without agenda, desire to diagnose or figure anything out, has calming, healing power.

The first time I did the ceremony as a lark. Venus rules pleasures, money and love—who wouldn’t be eager for more of that!

And guess what—the man arrived too, bringing a loan for the down payment and a desire to move in with me!

Ground your body, clear your mind… Become aware of your body. Notice how gravity holds and connects you to earth. It’s as though your body is an ancient stone temple—solid, strong, secure.

A Scorpio friend who visited China more than a year ago longed to travel to Xi’an to see the soldiers, but there wasn’t time. Soon after he returned home, however, he received a medical diagnosis that seemed grave. Faced with his imminent demise, he immediately scheduled a return trip to China to visit the statues. They proved as marvelous as he’d hoped. And though he is well for now, he has no regrets about having visited far-away China twice in one year.

As I walked down the path, my survival energies dissipated. The scales began to tip toward my truth, not social correctness, or childhood survival strategies, but what felt entirely right and true for me. Even though I didn’t like feeling them, I decided I could stand feeling others’ short-term anger or disappointment in exchange for my long term peace. Breathe and blink.

When your hands feel enlivened, awake, or like they’re vibrating, turn your palms towards yourself. Gracefully lower them through your energetic field, in the air across from your face, chest, hips, legs, and feet. Hold your feet until you can feel the energy grounding. Rise, but move slowly.

I’ve been through loneliness and self-doubt – and it’s not over, as I haven’t divorced yet. I’m an addict in recovery since 2005, a translator, poet, meditator and I love astrology. I wonder if I still can find what we are all looking for: peace of mind, fulfillment, a loving companion. I’m doing the best I can, but sometimes it doesn’t seem enough. I love you, my dear 9th house Aphrodite-Venus.
