HONEY in the HEART: Venus retrograde
Emotional Alchemy of the Venus Pentangle The orbit of Venus has a highly aesthetic cycle. Every eight years, “she” goes retrograde five times, describing a pentagonal star around the zodiac. During these repeating cycles, the goddess descends below the horizon to commune with the Sun, pulling us deep into a personal process of emotional alchemy. This periodic exercise in heart intelligence works individually and in relationships, developing throughout our lifetimes. Everyone loves Venus. Yet not everyone, not even most astrologers perhaps, understands the depths, complexity and...
Read MoreWhat Best Serves Love: Chariklo’s Story
Chariklo loved to flow in the waters along the banks exploring the streams and smaller brooks and trickles that wandered through the woods and meadows. The leafy branches waved to her in the breeze as she swam by, with a swish of her mermaid tail, dancing in and out of the valleys toward the yonder hills and higher cliffs. There the waters became dark, flickering and more mysterious. Watching the reflections of the rocky crags in the still water pools, she would stir them to make small whirlpools, a game for the small fish. Where the winds bent the grasses she found more fish friends. She had...

Read MoreGoddess Star Talk — ERIS
ERIS is a mythic troublemaker, she who threw a golden apple into a party on Olympus. It had a tag that read, “For the Fairest,” starting a contest between the goddesses that no god was going to touch. They tapped an upright young man named Paris. Juno promised him a kingdom and Athena great wisdom, but, inevitably, Paris awarded the apple to Aphrodite, who offered to bring him the most beautiful woman in the world, Helen of Troy. This famous “Judgment of Paris” led to the Trojan War. Eris is out and about these days in the forefront of any revolution, stirring up...
Read MoreGoddess Star Talk — VIRGO
VIRGO is one of the few female constellations in the sky. She carries a sheaf of wheat, Nature’s bounty—rather like our own Vermont goddess, Ceres, on the Capitol’s golden dome. Often “The Virgin” is pictured with wings, suggesting angelic stature. In former times, “virgin” meant “belonging to herself,” rather than referring to sexual status. It is said that in the distant Golden Age, Goddess Virgo once lived on Earth among us. As humanity became increasing ignorant and corrupt, and pollution spread around the globe, she could no longer...
