Venus in Astrology: Meaning Explained
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 июл 2024
- Discussing the meaning of the planet Venus in astrology, and explaining what it signifies in a birth chart, with astrologers Becca Tarnas and Chris Brennan.
Venus is traditionally thought to signify things like beauty, love, relationships, desire, sensuality, romance, harmony, pleasure, art, marriage, and other topics.
This is the fourth installment in our series on each of the planets, where we do a deep dive into their meaning in astrology.
We anchored the discussion by reading through a series of excerpts about Venus from different ancient and modern astrologers, including Vettius Valens, Abu Ma’shar, William Lilly, Reinhold Ebertin, Steven Forrest, and Richard Tarnas.
We then used these passages as jumping off points for an extended discussion about some of the deeper meanings of Venus, and the role that it plays in birth chart interpretation.

Let us know how Venus is placed in your chart (sign, house, aspect), and how that has worked out for you!
My natal Venus is in Libra in the 9th house along side with my SN in Libra and Mercury in Libra in the 9th
My Beautiful Venus is in Gemini 5th house🌞!
She does enjoy being there 🌟
Jupiter is with as well!
My Sun in Leo 7th!
I do follow the Moon✨🌟
Thank you for a lovely podcast!🌻
Eighth house Venus at 25 Capricorn.
Werk.
Taurus rising, venus in the 9h & a stellium with Neptune (same degree) Saturn, Uranus. Visual artist currently focus on fiber artist.
Venus is the ruler of my ascendant (Libra rising). Conjunct MC in the 10th, opposite Saturn in Cap conjunct IC in the 4th. Musician, can't release music due to unbelievable self-imposed standards.
I love how this was posted on Venus day and while Venus is in libra !
Nothing is by chance on this channel 😎
Yes.
💖🙏😎 well done!
I’m sure that was intentional-- Chris loves a good election ♥️♥️♥️
Actually it was the vedic virgo so... it was debilitad lol lol lol
I love the Ralph Waldo Emerson quote "The earth laughs in flowers", thanks for sharing Becca!
Her energy is so beautiful, you can tell she really embodies that Venus energy and is connected with her, it's like this subtle aura around her.
totally
her voice is so soft and melodic too omg im in loveee 😂
I love the way she explains the archetype of Venus and her particularity when it comes to word choice. She even mentioned Ọṣun and referred to her, correctly, as an òrìṣà. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
And wore her color, toned down a bit.
Ms. Tarnus' profound insight brought me to tears throughout this offering. Reminds me why I have aligned with Astrology as a yoga/Spiritual path.💜💥😎
Venus' rulership over Libra and Saturn's exaltation there reminds me so much of the medieval "ars moriendi" or "ars bene moriendi" - the art of good, or beautiful dying. Libra season is when nature starts preparing for winter, it's the beginnings of decay (Saturn). Nature laughs in flowers, but it weeps and mourns in falling leaves. And it's so much in the nature of Venus to find beauty and grace even there.
Thats beautiful
Great guest for Venus.
Dude this so enlightening , how did I not know this exists , these long form astrology podcasts are frankly an education , thanks Chris
The Astrology Podcast drinking game: Every time Chris mentions Valens, take a drink. When he says "Vettius Valens" take two drinks. Try to survive 😂
Cheers, everyone! 🥂🤣
🤨🤗😁😅🤣🤭😶🤐 he is not finding it funny...
Alcohol is not conducive to study.
@@lindaholman2630 Did you know? Now! You can access previously recorded videos *multiple times*! You can even enjoy them however you'd like 😮 Truly amazing, this RUclips thing. 🙄😴
@@Luxflux777 so tell me more
I have just discovered Becca’s work and she is so beautiful and brilliant. What a beautiful way to learn the archetype of Venus. Thank you Chris for picking Becca for teaching us about Venus. Thank you Becca for all your work, such a gift.
I love the way Becca elucidates her points. An eloquent speaker who leaves no stone untouched.
Wow! you brought in Venus herself for the talk. She (Venus) has such a melodious voice and poetic expression, so fitting. So great to hear all the other creative expressions of Venus too. So much appreciation to you both. Star Blessings Vx
YAAYYYY! Venusians rise up!! 🌺🌸🌹
the lungs, gives presence to singing, speech of beautiful words, harmony of singing, to musical instruments. that is what struck me as you were discussing
Just for clarification, the morning star of Venus is the warrior. When we interpret this in a native's chart, we might consider, as one expression of the archetype, that this placement denotes a tendency for the native's values to be readily seen---they herald the Sun, leading and setting before the Sun. This would be true for any planets that reach the Western horizon prior to the Sun. The evening star, setting after the Sun, is more receptive/reflective, so the native's values may be something we learn on closer, longer contact. Also, Aphrodite was seen to be born on the Greek island of Kythera (where she emerged from the foam of the sea and the island came to be), associated with "bringing into form", perhaps leading to our association of Venus with the beauty of form and design and with Saturn being exalted in Libra. Thank you Chris, for your generous, excellent gifts of scholarship and interview skills, for sharing them with us. We're so blessed to have your channel as resource.
This is an interesting take on the archetypes. I have a stellium of Venus, Sun, Saturn, Mercury, Chiron and North Node in Aries in the 8th house! I am wondering if you would agree that Venus in my chart would be considered the morning star warrior archetype you described? Some have told me my Sun would over take Venus energy..especially because of being in sign of Aries and Scorpio house...both suppose to be antithesis.
@pce Thanks for the info! Looks like my Sun 13 degrees and Venus 22 degrees....so not an evening star and within 9 degrees from each other!
@@discerninglight1998 If the Sun is at 13 degrees and Venus at 22, then the Sun rose first. Look at the horizon in your chart and imagine each planet sitting on it in turn and moving clockwise (rising). This is "primary motion". The Sun will make its way around the chart to the Western horizon where it sets before Venus gets there. This means your Venus is an evening star. In your chart teasing out all the planets within the stellium of Aries can be complicated. Notice whether Saturn and Mercury are evening stars as well.
your moniker "Discerning Light" suggests that you're using much of that energy to illuminate the often dark matters of the 8th house, something Virgo rising might want to do, especially with Virgo/1st house's dispositor in the 8th (Mercury in Aries). Just keep in mind that whatever sign and house Mars is in disposits the stellium in Aries in the 8th.
@@sheilaeisele8490 Thanks for the replys, I am sorting the archetypes out in my chart and this helps out!
North Node 00, Chiron 03, Mercury 06 (so Mercury before the Sun)
Venus 22, Saturn 26 (after the Sun).
The time of the day being 3:20pm, I would imagine the Sun does over power.
I am so grateful for this content and this youtube channel. It's difficult to find good quality and free astrology stuff on the internet, especially if you're a total beginner. I really appreciate that you're always trying to explain everything in the simplest terms possible. Looking forward to watching this video and finding out more about the archetype of Venus. I recently watched the episode with Arielle Guttman, where she talked about the concept of Venus Star Point, which was very interesting, but at the same time a bit confusing for me. My Venus is in Scorpio and combust the Sun (and it's house placement doesn't help, as well).
My Venus is also combust, I don't know if I have Venus as Morning Star or not, as it has not yet crossed the Asc. but it is in 1st house rising before the Sun.
Venus-Jupiter is also enjoyment and pleasure (Venus) from expansive experiences (Jupiter). Vast and open art/music. Car/road trip music. Big horizons. Epic scale. Freeing. Wanderlust (Venusian desire for Jupiterian exploration). Connecting (Venus) with something more, something bigger (Jupiter).
I have a Venus-Jupiter conjunction in my chart and this is spot on.
This. I have Venus sq Jupiter exact and this is spot on
学习占星这么久，Chris老师对我来说就像是宝藏般，你的频道给了我很多启发和知识，形式和内容都非常棒，更何况这么好的内容都是免费的。我的英文不是非常好，但是边看字幕边理解，虽说比较花时间，但帮助也是巨大的。感谢分享和传授。刚刚在亚马逊上买了你的书，等得我好辛苦哈哈~
My Venus in Taurus is my favorite placement that I have! Loved this episode.
I’m Venus in Taurus too. I have 4 planets in their home ruler ship sign. All are very powerful that way ;)
Thank you for the comments on Beyonce's Pluto-Venus-Jupiter and the celebration of beauty that historically hasn't been celebrated! Brilliant ep. Becca makes learning a soothing endeavor, even her voice!
Love this episode. Thank you so much for this thorough discussion. Becca is a wonderful guest and I'd be happy to see her more.
Personal fact that no one asked for, my name "Danika"(not my spelling but closest comparison) means morning star/venus.
I Love the way this lady speaks. Trying to bring harmony to different views with a calm, warm voice. Very Venusian.
one of the best podcasts on Planets
Venus is blushing right now.
Absolutely enjoyed this podcast. It was so insightful. Also, thank you for taking a generous time to fully delve into each subject matter on your channel. Being a content creator isn’t easy as it looks. So thank you.
I discovered your channel only recently. I am amazed by your content, it has been very helpful. You're a great teacher, thanks a lot. Look forward to reading your book. Greetings from Brazil! PS: This girl has such a wonderful and mellifluous voice!
I'd have to add that Chris shares his "mellifluous voice" as well!
This discussion is so interesting. Enjoying all the research you've shared. So encouraged to see another generation interested in astrology and taking it to a higher level.... Thank you. ⭐
Great episode and lovely knowledgeable guest n host:) merciox
Love Higher Love = going back to the Venus/Neptune to make own playlist. Thanks Becca! This was an awesome episode. Bravo to you both.
yayy!! been waiting for this one!! thanks chris, great series :)
waaaaah!!! I'm so excited! still at the beginning of the video,
but I love Becca's way of communicating astrology.
Meow meow / Becca's voice is like delicious tea for my ears.
Oooooooh I would LOVE an episode about chart reading etiquette! So much to say!
As a Taurus rising & *Aquarius stellium* , sometimes I struggle to connect with Venusian energy... thanks for demystifying some of it! Btw the purple snail dye originated in ancient Minoa
Later associated with Phoenician Tyre. Fascinating color.
Actually, the evening star is a lover and a morning star is a warrior according to the Babylonians. Inanna is a lover, which is analogues to Aphrodite, and Ishtar is a warrior, analogues to Afina Pallada. The former is a romantic archetype, the latter is a glorious and glamorous archetype symbolizing the foresight, wisdom, knowledge, strategy and courage, which are all needed to win the battles of life.
Wow - thanks for this. With Venus front and center in my chart - Ascendant, Sun and Venus all in Libra - I feel like I've won the celestial lottery. Not that everything has been delightful and easy (Saturn occupies my 5th house, keeping it real and doling out important and heavy life lessons from time to time) but it has been a very cheery and social life so far. The other gift of Venus, In addition to handing me an overall friendly vibe, is that kind and generous people often pop up in my life, especially in difficult moments. I am so grateful the Goddess of Love and Beauty dropped her gifts in my lap. Thinking I need to build her a temple. I'll get on that - thanks for the great podcast!
Been waiting for this one 😍
Ty for all your great videos, Chris. Gratitude sent!
i’ve been so excited for this episode! my chart is pretty rough 😂 pluto in the first house, saturn and anaretic mars co-present in the 4th. im only saved by my beautiful exalted 5th house venus unafflicted and bonified by jupiter. so i’ve been WAITING to hear all about my girl 💫
😍❤👐 Just listened to the becca tarnas interview on acyuta bavas channel, what a wonderful woman. Thank you for this.
A wonderful podcast!! Jupiter corresponds to the lungs in Traditional Medical astrology and there could be a connection with Venus through her exaltation - breathtakingly beautiful
This episode is so beautiful ♀
As a Venus Trine Saturn (in a night chart) the comments were very comforting about the aspect. It's the only aspect my Venus makes. (Saturn is tangled up in a lot of hot mess - mainly squares). It does bring a lot of pain :/ Saturn is not fun, especially when it comes to love. I am attracted to and have always dated older people than me. :) Ps. Also have a Libra rising. I sing and people love my singing and speaking voice in general. They say it is very sweet ;)
Yes, I too have this Venus in Aries(detriment) sextile Saturn in Aquirius also in a night chart. Learning to love myself , embracing my need to be alone. Its a process but as time goes on it gets alot better :)
Always fabulous and deep!! I must admit, when I first saw Rebecca’s last name, I thought, “hm, famous through her father’s legacy.” But then, one look at her accolades and academic career, phew!! How wonderful. Especially love her thesis paper title: The Back of Beyond: The Red Books of C. G. Jung and J. R. R. Tolkien.
My father and I are studying The Red Book together and we enjoy talking about archetypes in history, literature, astrology and modern life. I’m currently at CIIS for my Psych degree and aiming for a PhD in Transpersonal Psychology. I feel like Rebecca’s legacy is a spot-lighted parallel to me and my fathers relationship. (And we’ll, I have Jupiter on my NN in the 4th).
I’ll be looking into your school in Nevada City! Just an hour and a half away from me;)
Well done! 🌟🙌🙏❤️
Venus' rule over the lungs could be in reference to the Healing Art of Fragrance..the lungs being where we digest scent.
*Loved the faeries laughter!
Beautific poem 💗
Beautiful 🌹 great points by Becca👍 fantastic 👌
Just coming back to the comments to give an honorable mention after listening to the sweetness that Becca described is Paul McCartney and his song, The Kiss of Venus. It's a must listen for any fan of his, fan of Venus, and fan of astrology lol. As someone in a 5H Venus profection with natal Venus in Cancer, I've been making a lot of art and listening to this podcast and song and enjoying every single second of it all. I've learned so much about my Venusian nature. Thank you!
I respect the way Becca conveyed Venus across many pantheons and included the Yoruba tradition, the Orisha Oshun. I don’t hear many lectures or videos that includes popular and prominent African practices, thank you 🙏🏽
Loved this episode! Especially Becca's delineations for Venus contacts with outer planets among famous musicians. Janis Joplin's Piece of My Heart is such a great archetypal expression of Venus/Pluto....I noticed Britney Spears also has a tight Venus/Pluto square. Definitely comes through, particularly in songs like "Gimme More" and "Piece of Me"
Repeating myself but I so appreciate the captioning \o/
I just took note of tiny mistakes:
At 3:00:08, Becca says "--in my chart.", not "--in my trine."
At 3:02:20, she says "Aspect it to something!" I think, not "Aspected to something!" (I might have misheard, but it seems to make more sense with the first possibility).
At 3:04:27, "Paulus Alexandrinus" got transcribed as "policy Alexandrina"
At 3:05:35, Becca says "Venusian", not "Venetian" and then a few seconds later, "wanting to be Freyja" instead of "wanting to be frail"
Thanks for noting these errors! I'm going to fix them in the transcript now.
Wow, just wow to you perfect person!
How beautiful the description of "The Kiss". Reminds me of a favorite painting by Klimt. Assertion and allure. Thank you this image will stay with me enhancing my understanding of the Venus/Mars story.
I love this guy he’s amazing straight to the point the spirit continue to bless you🌬🕊
This was a highly illuminating video which created infinitely more questions 😭😭
What an excellent episode! Thank you, I learned so much ❤. I’d like to guess on the association of lungs - it is said in certain cultures that fear is the opposite of love. If one were to investigate the heat-map of where emotions are felt in a human body, fear is felt in the lung area predominantly. It is no surprise that people who are overwhelmed by repressed fears often suffer from asthma. I’m telling this from person experience. As fear is released slowly, love fills the lungs as a perfume of sweetness and freedom. Since Venus represents love, it is my understanding, that it represents that metaphorical perfume that lets the lungs breathe the full colours of life.
Venus in Libra in 9th here, love astrology, to socialize and all things Venusian #Domicle Lord. Like Chris i was born under a scorpio sun and aqua rising. Thanks Chris and Becca for sharing your time, energy and expertise with us ALL xoxo
I was looking forward to this podcast...and so glad you had Becca on this one! I am also a Taurus rising, guided by Venus. My Venus is exalted in 11th House Pisces, trine JupiterRx in 7th House Scorpio, square 8th House UranusRx in Sagittarius, and quintile my Ascendant. Venus rules my 1st House Chiron and my busy 6th House with MarsRx-PallasRx and SaturnRx-PlutoRx. It is very true about the Venus aspects coloring the way I express my Venus...Venus-Jupiter associations like generosity, positivity, and joyfulness are some of the words that are often used to describe me by others. And, I am attracted to unusual things/relationships and love the odd quirks of people...a Venus-Uranus trait (I'd say it also relates to valuing Astrology for me). When I became an Astrologer in 2004, I was initiated by the first Venus Transit that June...so Venus has always been integral to my Astrology practice (for many years, I simply called myself a Venusian Astrologer).
Susan, you are an incredible astrologer! Everything was so on target with my personal life and those around me. It’s been a deeply difficult season. With all of us with strong Scorpio; Taurus and Libra placements.
Much love❤
Venus in Aries opposite Saturn - it hasn't been easy in relationships (to put it lightly) but I have finally figured it out in my late thirties :). Also, I remember Christopher Warnock mentioning in a different episode that "Venus in Aries spends like a drunken sailor" and I've had some issues with that in the past as well 🤣. I think Saturn is actually now working in my favour, I feel that I've figured out most of my Venus related issues at this point. So if you are reading this and are still struggling with a similar aspect - hang in there, do not despair, you will figure it out ❤️.
Thanks for the encouragement! I have Venus in Scorpio 12th house, conjunct Neptune opposite Saturn in Taurus 6th house. Very difficult issues with love and relationships. Still learning, not on the other side of that initiation yet.
Omw to read the whole "Homage to the planets" because this Venus passage is exquisitely poetic!
Yes!! Been waiting
Venus in Virgo with Libra rising here. I love the eloquence of speech and vocal clarity...something many people these days neither strive towards nor possess. No foul language is also music to my ears. Respect, intelligence, relevance, knowledge and explanations to help the audience understand some of the language used. Loved it.
This is my second time listening to this wonderful talk on Venus. ♀️♑️
As a Lunar and Venusian man who is learning to be more Solar and Martial, I appreciate this video very much!
Thanks !! I’m not sure what I am!! I’m definitely a man…who has Venus and Mercury in Taurus!! I have a strong Scorpio moon although probably would consider myself neptunian and Saturnian more than anything considering it’s in the first house and more. Thank you for your post
Really great, many thanks and many blessings to you both 😊
Also it’s very interesting that yoko has Venus Saturn conjunction and John was libra. You guys are so amazing.
I loved this so much!! I have Venus in Taurus in the 12th house with Jupiter there. Moving into a trine with Saturn and Uranus in the 8th in Capricorn. I’ve always found it a bit difficult to pinpoint my experiences of having both benefics in the 12th house. But the best way to describe it is really wanting/needing some isolation 😂 My best ideas/inspiration come when I’m alone with my thoughts. The Venusian qualities are definitely fused with Jupiter. Fine dining, expensive attire, wanting to be surrounded by high end comfort etc. I’m more about quality rather than quantity. And usually I enjoy indulging in those things more when I’m alone haha sometimes being overindulgent. I’m an artist and I find that I’m really good at bringing others’ artistic visions to life. (8th house stuff perhaps)
The apple doesn't fall to far from the tree"....she is amazing also. Loved this, so helpful...as I have 3 planet's in ♎ also with the north node. All so poetically shared...thank you Chris, another outstanding, useful video.
This was amazing thank you 🙏
Please timestops someone. How you gonna do a 4 hour video without them
My sun is in scorpio and my Venus is in scorpio. I will do everything for the love of anything and everything that I am passionate about.
Really enjoyed this one. Especially being a Venus rising with Uranus on my ascendant and a Jupiter conjunct Venus. Neptune there as well.
Sometimes Becca uses so many adjectives while explaining one idea I find myself a little lost. And oddly her voice and way of speaking has put me in a very calm and sleepy state. Not at all due to her being boring, on the contrary she makes beautiful points - but because she has some type of calm energy.
I found this to be the most DRY episode yet, very hard for me to follow her...she's so knowledgeable lol idk what it is...
Wonderful learning 🙏❤️
Love these!!!
Wonderful! Thank You. 🌟
thank you both and what a poetic venus woman :)
So interesting! I have a grand trine with Venus, Neptune, and Saturn like Tolkien (mine is in fire, not air) and I agree with the description. Same houses as Tolkien too (mine is Venus (16 degrees) in Aries in the 10th, Neptune (16 degrees) in Sag in the 6th, Saturn (9 degrees) in Leo in the 2nd). Definitely an affinity for romantic/idealistic love, butterflies are my thing, also the elementals.
I have Sun (15 degrees) Venus Retrograde (16 degrees) conjunct in Aries. Also Sun/Venus opposition Pluto (12 degrees).
This video has been so helpful in understanding those placements!
Also, born with Venus retrograde in Aries, my progressed Venus doesn’t leave Aries until I’m 61. Spending 61 years of my life with Venus in Aries.
Thank you for your podcast and your videos !! I always learn so much
Do you happen to know which episode numbers are the other ones about the planets? I'd like to re-listen but I can't remember which ones they are...
How did you get Venus to make a personal appearance on your video?
YOU TAKE MY BREATH AWAY❤️❤️✨💫
The breath is the most intimate of exchanges, in many ways. Beyond bodies coming together, whether we are aware of it or not, we share the air we breathe together. Air, even more than water, is merge-ant. Additionally, how do people make music? Beyond rhythm, our voices are how we connect, give praise and share our expression. Mercury may rule communication in an intellectually expressive way, but I would dare to say that Venus rules the emotional realms of expression, through music made on instruments, but also music made with the body...
Venus conjunct Saturn in my first house of Pisces, never been into a relationship since birth, lol.
thank you so much for this podcast. ✨
Thx, guys.
I have Venus as my most dominant planet in my birth chart with Saturn and Uranus following after in that order.
Becca Tarnas is always mind-blowing. What a mind.
“hey becca” instant classic
Please make an episode on the origin on the seven-day-week! I've been wondering about this since I was a kid and I've never found a satisfying answer :)
You might see if you can get Chris Warnock for that.
49:28 Venus rules Taurus. Taurus also rules plants and ingesting plants which would include the usage of smoking herbs. This could be both for pleasure or medicinal.
Do they use sidereal or tropical astrology? Just curious... And which one is considered more accurate?
very cool video .. she even knows about oshun in yoruba culture , great post 👏🏽
My mom has told me the same story of how she turned to look at the clock right as I was born. have asked her several times if my birth time is accurate bc it is at 11:11 and I always wanted to make sure it is correct☺️ I also loved the point Becca and Chris brought up about the fifth house not only representing children but also mothers and the process of coming into that Venusian motherly energy. I think this is an important facet of the fifth house that can potentially be applied to anyone, but perhaps could be a clue in a delineation concerning individuals who cannot have or do not want children.
We should put the symbol for Uranus on all bathroom doors and move on. 😄😇
In reference to Venus ruling the Lungs- in Chinese Medicine and Five Element theory, (Water, Wood, Fire, Earth,Metal), Lungs belong to the element of Metal, which is also associated with the color white…many associations between Metal element and Venusian refinement, and love of cleanliness too. Interesting to make those connections…
I have Venus on my Ascendant at 29 degrees in my 6th house in Pisces. She doesn't have any strong aspects, but she does square my MH, trine Pluto in the 2nd, and a few other minor aspects.
Important to understand why murex 'purple' was considered regal and holy. It was not purple that we know today, but the colour of menstrual blood - clotted, stinky messy. And murex STANK to high, fishy heaven, when you had an enormous pile of them being crushed for dye, poor unfortunate creatures. No refrigeration in those days! Venus was the 'star of the sea' (Stella Maris), of mariners, exalted in Pisces, and the murex was under her rulership. (There is actually a long-spiked type called a 'Venus comb murex'.) The sails of Cleopatra's ships were dyed with murex blood. Still, today, priests' and monks' robes are some variation of this colour, the powerful, wise blood of the Goddess.
So now you get some idea where 'cleanliness' comes into the picture. Yes, cleaning is part of the beauty ritual, but there is a clue in the word 'VENereal...ie, cleanliness specifically to prevent sexually transmitted diseases. (Hygiea was perhaps more about general cleanliness). Burning, itching, inflammation are all Mars symptoms, btw. Venus/Aphrodite/Ishtar was the Goddess of Sex. Prostitution came under her jurisdiction. Today, thanks the the Greco-Roman mythology we tend to recognize only her beauty and harmony aspect, but remember this Goddess/planet was and still is dual natured; as morning star, aggressive (usually 5 pointed) and evening star, harmonious (usually eight pointed), not one-dimensional, with her destructive power given over to Mars.
A little, Taurus Sun with mutual Taurus Merc/Venus Gem (7th) opp Moon/BMLilith perspective on a Libra Moon day :)
Great informative session on Aphrodite! When unicorns show up in a dream, is Venus nearby?
I have a grand trine Venus Uranus Saturn with Venus in Pices 3rd house. Lovers come to me easily and of all type of ethnicity & social status. I tend to walk away after 3-4 years tops. I’m working on the staying power in Saturn as I age. I’m 65 and it’s been a wild ride for sure.
Never knew any of this until my first natal reading 5 yrs ago and bingo. Any thoughts on this aspect? I’m still learning and enjoy every minute of it.
44:59 imagining how to recreate astrology from scratch. Dualities were a cool mention/topic.
I have also been trying to comprehend...
We all have these "bits" of the other planet's energy within us, which resonates under certain planetary configurations (and angles with other planets). That same planet's field can react with it's bits which are within us. Imagine we have some proportion or spectrum of bits from all the planets. So we are internally multi-reactive, so to speak.
Certain organs' or organ's cells seem to absorb (to be corelated with, or have symbolisms with) these planets' energy.
@1:20 becca talks about venus on the ascendant and how its so vibrant its like the sun rising but its venus. I have noticed that in progressed new moon chart The ascendant, 1st house, chart ruler and its aspects and planets within affect the persons appearance significantly from the date of the new moon. Brad Pitt's natal chart doesn't explain his beauty(though the natal promise is there) He had his progressed new moon right around thelma and louise the beginning of his career taking off. His progressed new moon chart is a cap rising, libra midheaven with saturn in the second house exactly conjunct venus in the second house.) from Brad not only did brad pitt drop weight to lean up for Thelma and louise but that's when his looks began to mature and he lost his baby face and his beauty began to emerge. If you look at pics of his from his 20s compared to 30s its from his late 20s on and his progressed new moon that his looks take off and he has this blinding beauty that is all you can see in the way becca describes.
for me, I don't really think the Moon is a graduation of Venus. I think that they are two different pathways, significations and represent lives that may have parallels and similarities...but I think the representation of women/femininity via these two planets are so different, important and mean so much in the evolution of how we see gender historically. Great episode.
