For astrologers there is a very significant event coming up; Jupiter and Venus both go direct on the same day, November 18, 2010.
Expect to be able to feel the energy fields of the planetary shift! Venus has been retrograde for forty days (40 days has so many implications) and after descending into the underworld from being the Evening Star, she will now begin to rise as the Morning Star.
In the Inana myth she has literally gone though a rough experience in the underworld and when she returns in the East and rides with the Sun rise she is much more aggressive and dominate.
What this means is that after spending these forty days ruminating about relationships as we all have been doing, now we start to put the self knowledge and straighten things out. WE will seek more positive relationships, change or even terminate relationships that we can now see as being negative in some way to the successful path on our journey of life. Get rid of the users, six-time losers, vampire soul suckers, hanger-on dead weights, critics, people who want you to wallow in their misery, or worse want to draw you down into the same hole they are in, want to whine to you because you are a good listener, jealous little nuisances, social misfits, and anyone else who is trouble, like lovers who aren’t reliable, loyal or positive about the commitment it takes to have love that is productive. Wow!
Also see in the realm of Jupiter going direct, that this is the time to direct personal and professional energy into finishing old projects and looking forward to starting new ones. Jupiter will bring fresh ways to look at old problems, will produce answers where we have been stumped, new people to network with, as well as a higher perspective of what is important in life.
While many astrologers simplify Jupiter as the great goody giver, and economic Santa Claus (with Christmas so close–but there is that darn Mercury about to go retrograde). While it is true that Jupiter can be seen as a great motivator, it is not all in economics.
Jupiter also rules the ninth house of intellectual pursuits, high consciousness experiences, travel and cross cultural insights as well as commitments, moral and legal insights. Thus there is a wide range of points which will feel the impact of Jupiter going direct.
Both of these events occur in the sign of Scorpio which give an adds textures of rebirth, money, inheritance and sexual experiences that can awaken a deeper sense of self through the connection of the erotic to the life force. Also revenge tragedies and other revenge theater will be seen in a new light and dropped.
And, oh yes. . .deeper psychic insights from the realization that in the light of the grim reaper that life has even greater meaning to soul growth and diminishes the lust for possessions over the path of spirit.
