Astro-LOA Flash: It’s Retrograde Venus time, everyone! Are your ready? Venus turns stationary at 0 Virgo, then spends the next 2 and a half months moving “backwards” in Leo. (Brush up on Rx planets tutorial here.)

We’re doing an Align with the Stars call on this topic Tue the 21st, 6pm Eastern. Listen in and learn about this energy, how to leverage it, and how to use the Venus return charts to amp up your deliberate creation intentions. Check out our monthly calls.

Updated hints by zodiac sign (sun and/or ascendant) for WHERE you want to tune into core values, re-image yourself and reflect on your personal, one-to-one relationships.

ARIES: Venus through your house of creative self expression is fabulous for artistic pursuits and child-like play. Pre-pave your true desires here. This is also a charming time for romance but with the retrograde, it’s likely things will flare from ex-current-ex, lukewarm to sizzling again. Wait until October to make a decisions. Children have an influence

TAURUS: This cycle is all about the home. Are you Queen/King of your castle? If not, why no? Take this time to get the home life correct. That means family as well as the physical dwelling. You might have a major re-evaluation of life style and location. Consider long; make major move after Oct 9 if possible. Parents will be of influence.

GEMINI: If you have a career in writing, teaching, studying or any form of the written/spoken word, this is your time to gain major accolades. Put your works in front of eyes that matter. Proposals could take yonks to hear back on but the results are potentially spectacular. Involve yourself with community. If ever a time to connect with siblings or cousins, it is now.

CANCER: Venus in your financial sector says “shake your money maker.” Put yourself out there while you dream bigger than you ever have before. No more shyness before all things. Bold, bright and beautiful is your manta. Check into your core values. Make sure you are living yours to the max! aunts, uncles and financial advisers are of influence.

LEO: This is your sun sign/Venus conjunction and it gives you double the charm, double the allure and ten fold the vivacity. Use this energy, especially on your own self development. Reconsider everything from wardrobe to walk, style to elocution. Your whole image gets a change up. Be MORE you. Be open to explore who your are for yourself, not others.

VIRGO: Your life force glows from the core of your heart to the outer reaches of the cosmos. People will notice the change. Compassion is amplified, and so is a hard to pinpoint charisma. This is where you give to the greater oneness of life, like a beneficent god/goddess of antiquity. And, follow your heart wherever it leads. Dreams and spirit guides abound.

LIBRA: The life of the party, the charm and enchantment in any group, you shine among friends, center stage. Like truth serum, when it comes to your closest others, Venus reveals who is loyal and who has moved on. Expect some reshuffling where attachments are concerned. Amp hopes and wishes for the future! Friends are of most important influence.

SCORPIO: Whatever you are manifesting on the career front, smile and it’s yours. Just take note, during the Rx cycle, you may discover that what you thought would make you happy doesn’t cut it anymore. Revisit your core values and trust guidance to pave the way to what you heart desires. Parents or authority figures/heroes are of strong influence.

SAGITTARIUS: Expansion is your style and with Venus in your solar travel sector there’s plenty of potential for all levels – mind, body and spirit. As you ready for new horizons, think of sharing the adventure. Venus wants to partner and in Leo it will make the journey doubly sweet. An old flame resurfaces . . . perhaps? Think: Foreign affairs.

CAPRICORN: All work and no play will only piss Venus in Leo off, royally. You want to schedule in some fun around all the empire building. There’s a chance to rethink your approach to intimacy. It might change the way you view life. Be it tarot with a friend, deep and meaningful conversations or sizzling passion, doors open now. Intimacy with another has a profound effect.

AQUARIUS: Consider the power of pre-paving when it comes to all your personal, one-to-one socially significant relationships. You don’t want to let this opportunity go untouched. Get to the core of what you REALLY want when it comes to partnership, biz or pleasure. What unfolds now will enlighten you, if you let it. This is your time to connect. Don’t miss out!

PISCES: Note: any issue with the body is a message that something isn’t quite right. You want to jump on this, not through “treatment” but by listening. What is it that you repress? Release that now, and put some love into your nutrition, exercise, work and magic. Creativity and passion bloom at the strangest times! And that time is now. New connections with animals, spirits creatures, or even your vet, dentist or health care professional are on!

See you on our Venus Rx Align with the Stars call!

Venus Luxuriates in Leo

Venus Embellished by Michael Parkes

Astro-LOA Flash: Venus enters the sign of Leo on June 5th, 11:32 am EDT. This ingress happens every year around this time but . . . where Venus usually transits for a month or so in each sign, this sojourn in Leo will last five full months, until October 9, 2015.

The retrograde zone is virtually active the whole time, from June 21 to October 9th.

Mercury Rx Shadow Zone from Cafe Astrology

For a quick refresher on the extraordinary synodic cycles of Venus, visit this short tutorial here that demonstrates the retrogrades and STAR patterns. It’s amazing!

What to expect with Venus in Leo?

Leo is a FIRE sign, positive, outgoing and FIXED in motion. Think fire of the heart, passion, creativity, courage and generosity. Venus here gets her flamboyance on. She love drama anyway but during this period, she’s bent on waking up everyone’s inner prima donna. If you have a creative outlet, excellent. If you don’t, find one. Now.

Venus has to do with our core values, what really carries weight and meaning in life. If you aren’t living yours, expressing them in your career, relationships, home, family, creativity, you’ll lose the ability to pretend things are ‘fine’. Especially during the retrograde period from July 25th to September 6th. The WILL is empowered and if you don’t have healthy, authentic outlets for your drives, rejected energy turns in on itself. In such an event, the body is likely going to cop it.

Leo rules the heart, upper back and with Venus reigning, the HAIR. ANY health issues at this time are messages from the body that things aren’t quite right. Get to the heart of whatever it is you are repressing and release, release, release. For help on Eliminating Tolerations, see the GoodVibeBlog.

Even though Retrograde, Venus in Leo has dignity, warmheartedness and compassion. Wherever this is happening in your chart (where you find the degrees of Leo) you can turn on your creative fire, your love and your charm! Yes, you’re going to re-evaluate EVERYTHING in this astrological house(s), but the results are always a more authentic you!

Hints by zodiac sign for WHERE you want to relax, rethink and restore.

ARIES: Venus through your house of creative self expression is fabulous for artistic pursuits and child-like play. Pre-pave your true desires here. This is also a charming time for romance but with the retrograde, it’s likely things will flare from ex-current-ex, lukewarm to sizzling again. Wait until October to make a decisions.

SAGITTARIUS: Expansion is your style and with Venus in your solar travel sector there’s plenty of potential for all levels – mind, body and spirit. As you ready for new horizons, think of sharing the adventure. Venus wants to partner and in Leo it will make the journey doubly sweet. An old flame resurfaces . . . perhaps?

Venus Rx ‘Occult’ the Sun

Venus Verticordia, by Dante Gabriel Rossetti

Astro Flash: Venus ‘occult’ or ‘transit’ the Sun @15 Gemini (see times below) brings together a rare and powerful image of the Sun (consciousness) and Aphrodite (the feminine and the power of love and attraction). Think allure, relating, consensus, diplomacy, art and creative expression. As these values are brought to light, ask where you can adjust, change and grow into more of who you are. Make a wish.

The ‘transit’ of Venus occurs once or twice a lifetime. This event today harks back to changes begun in June 2004. The next transit of Venus is in 2117. Check where is Venus transiting in your chart. What do you see coming to light?

LON– Wednesday – 02:09
SYD – Wednesday – 11:09

We have another Venus Retrograde guest post today. It’s by my lovey and brilliant friend, Janette Dalgliesh. She’s a wonderful, insightful LOA coach with experience in astrology and Law of Attraction. Please welcome, Janette!

I LOVE the journey of Venus Retrograde! Not because it’s a gentle easy cruise, but because – for me – it’s a brilliant opportunity to get even closer to my true, powerful authentic Self.

Kim’s post on Venus Rx says “Take a moment to appreciate how far you have come and what you have learned”. She’s also said that this is a time when “things we thought were ‘fine’ are under review again”. And that can feel horrible!

In a former life I was a performer working in theatre and film.

At the start of my career, I hated the first night nerves which came with a brand new show. Will it work? Will they hate? Will it make sense? Will I screw up?

Soon I learned that stagefright was a powerful link to my passion. In the red hot moment, doing a good job mattered. That’s where the nerves came from; and they helped keep me sharp.

Stagefright became my friend – albeit one with teeth and claws – and I used her to inspire me to better and better work. I learned how to go on and do the show, even when my palms were sweaty and my knees a-tremble.

I nailed it!

So imagine my shock when I felt those old terrors rising again, at the prospect of teaching the first class of a new series to six people.

Surely I mastered this already? How can I be feeling this again? Six people are scary? I’ve played the main stage of Sydney Opera House!

Man, I struggled.

As a keen practitioner of deliberate creation, I know that my best shortcut to what I want is to find the better-feeling thought. My go-to technique is to ask “where is my relief?!”.  I wondered if Venus Rx could be the clue.

So I went back and revisited my old friend, stagefright, to see what she could tell me. And here’s what she reminded me:

• things always worked out somehow, even if things went horrible pear-shaped during the show
• they (the audience) were on our side; they were there to have a good time even if things went wrong (in fact, theatre audiences often LOVE it when things go wrong!)
• even if I do screw up, I have the knack of making something good out of it
• you know how to go on despite the terrors

And best of all, I remembered that stagefright always – ALWAYS – disappears about two minutes into the show, to be replaced with wonder and thrill and satisfaction.

This time, I was upping the ante. Instead of a large, anonymous audience I was about to face up to a small, intimate group. And instead of a script written by someone else, I was presenting my own material. I was being way more vulnerable this time around.

What I learned in the past was exactly what I need for this new experience. Making friends with stagefright back then gave me enough comfort so she didn’t overwhelm me this time around.

There is huge relief in going back and remembering the big picture view of whatever’s echoing down through the years.

If you catch something during Venus Rx that feels less than wonderful, where in your past can you find the pathway to relief in the present?

Thank you, Janette! And everyone, take advantage of her Pay What You Want in June. I know I will!

The Goddess of Love Looks Back

Die Jungfrau – 1913 The Virgin; Narodni Galerie, Prague

Astro-LOA Flash: Venus, the goddess of love, turns retrograde today. Think ‘pausing to add new colours to your inner palette’. This is preparation for a renaissance of values, attractions and desires.The feeling is to turn inward and admire what’s working, change what isn’t.

There is plenty of time. No rush. For now, appreciate who you are and what you love. If you can stay in your feelings, sensuality and heart about it, all the better. But remember Venus is Rx in Gemini, so no worries if you do have a few things on your mind from time to time. Quite a few. This is part of the process. Just mix in the quiet time of meditation or whatever practice gets you into a calm state of ‘lightness of being’.

Notes: Venus is a symbol of the powers of attraction. She rules love, affection and beauty, and also what we value aesthetically and artistically. Where Venus resides is where we can attract, where we can win others over to our side. It also depicts a desire for relatedness, not so much for the sake of merging but for the determination of deeper values. Through one-to-one relationship, personal values are identified, refined and adopted.

Gemini is light, breezy, curious and willing to learn. An air sign and intellectual, Gemini needs a lot of space and variety. Knowledge is power so this is a time to KNOW what you desire, really. Get current. Get conscious!

Venus is a representation of love, what we love to love and in Gemini it’s what we think we love. The focus is on our thoughts of love, beauty, what we value. That means it’s what we attract, right here, right now. Our life is a representation of what we love. If we aren’t happy in it, it’s not that the powers of attraction have gone wrong.  It’s because we are not completely self aware of our true loves. Now’s the time to set that straight.

Dates
 4 Apr 2012 Venus enters Gemini at 0 Gemini
15 May 2012 Venus turns Retrograde at 24 Gemini
6 June 2012 Venus occult the sun (eclipse) at 16 Gemini
27 Jun 2012 Venus turns Direct at 7 Gemini
7 August 2012 Venus leaves Gemini at 0 Cancer

I’ll be posting more on Venus over the next few months and have some fabulous guest posts lined up as well. Meanwhile, look to where Venus is at a standstill in your chart (which house) and meditate on your values there. There is a key word rundown of the houses below and you can create your chart and find the degrees of Gemini in this tutorial.

Namaste, everyone and happy re-valuing!

Astro-LOA FLASH: With Venus poised to turn retrograde, we relax, reinvent, reflect, reread, resource, recover and reconnect to our true values.  Add to that the Sun over Jupiter and the feeling is renewal! You can have big news, hot feelings and make outstanding goals for the future. Think – sun shower of optimism, compassion and expansion. You get up and at it – going for ways and means to support the inner circle, community, globe. Enjoy the brilliance, everyone. Here’s my big new! Tell me yours too!

Kim – Ian – Kim: Last year I made a small online contribution to ISF and moments later, to my surprise, I got an email from the CEO. She happened to be online at the same moment and noticed my name come through. Turns out the ISF CEO is a Kim too, Kim Klingler to be exact.

After we got over our serendipitous names (and then some serendipitous astrological placements), she asked me what inspired me to donate. I told her about the series of novels I was writing and the issues of environment, extinction, technology, consciousness, intention, education . . . She was keen to check them out. As they were not yet available in North America, I sent her Path of the Stray. We chatted off and on over the months after that until in January 2012 I got an email that knocked my socks off. She was swearing up a storm, frothing over how much she loved the books!

She’d read Path of the Stray in two days, thought it was everything she’d ever wanted to incorporate into a story-eco-education-enlightened-law-of-attraction-entertainment series and asked if I would like to collaborate with ISF and Ian’s fans. I said Hell yes and the results is the Ian Somerhalder Foundation Book Club featuring Path of the Stray, opening May 13-14th.

Path of the Stray Book Trailer

The ISF Book Club is a place for us to share stories, characters, environments and ideas found in the books we love, starting with Path of the Stray. The Ian Somerhalder Foundation is creating a community where we can talk about books and anything that supports our connection to all life, the environment, mind, body, spirit, personal power, self-awareness and consciousness. My 11th house community is most definitely invited to join in!

Where to get the book: In Australia, you can find Path of the Stray at your local book store. Elsewhere worldwide, you can order online from Fishpond.com (shipping is free worldwide) Also note – if you ‘friend’ Fishpond.com on Goodreads, you get 10% off your first order of any of my books! For those with eReaders, see Kindle.com.

All proceeds from book sales are donated to the Ian Somerhalder Foundation.

See the full intro to the book club on the ISF site. If you have any questions, let me know. I’ll be on the forum and so will Ian, Kim and the ISF team and hopefully a lot of 11th house people ready to connect, think tank and lift the consciousness of the planet. See you there!

May Tip o’ the Month

May begins with a lot of emotion (and that’s not just me doing flip-flops with Road to the Soul’s shortlisting for the Norma K Hemming Awards). It’s like they say in the Vampire Diaries – when you ‘turn’, all your senses are heightened so when you feel doubt or insecurity, you feel it one hundred fold. But when you feel love, joy, bliss, that too is one hundred times stronger. Suffice it to say, it’s going to be an emotional month!

Celebrate that! The key is to feel your feelings and not try to ‘sort’ them rationally. Just feel the damn things without judgment! (ha!) There is beauty, intensity and a message there. Don’t chew it to the bone. Process, let go and keep making choices towards what gives you more happiness, peace, and relief.

There is a steady the buildup to the full moon on the 6th. Some things begun in April will actualize now so think opportunity, expansion and emotional freedom. Open palm. Ask, will this matter in five years? In ten? Mercury moves into Taurus on the 9th and has a grounding influence. Communication is more point form and pragmatic. More Yang. The sun is conjunct Jupiter on the 13th for its once a year super dose of optimism. Be sure to get yours. It’s there for the taking. Also note this activatres the Kuiper Belt planetoid, Sedna, a time to turn our attention to Mother Earth, the Environment and how we can respect our home world.

As I’ve already mentioned, Venus goes retrograde on the 15th. I’ll be posting more about this, and inviting guest bloggers to speak on various topics of Venus – relationship, sociability, love, self-worth, artistry, money and finances. Meanwhile, prep to reevaluate these areas of your life; know what they mean to you.

May 20th is a big shift as the sun goes into Gemini and forms the new moon at 0 degrees. It’s extremely playful and chatty. I love it! Mercury catches up on the 24th and is into Gemini as well. All month long Uranus and Pluto will be moving slowly but surely towards the exact square aspect, one that is transforming the area of life where they are in your birth chart, from the ground up! I’ll do a separate post on this and we can all work out where it’s happening in our natal charts.

Have a wonderful month of May, everyone! Namaste,xKim
