Venus transit: Embracing unconditional compassion




A homeless man in Kansas City, Missouri is facing a windfall of more than $100,000 for his kindness after he returned a diamond engagement ring to its rightful owner, which she had accidentally dropped into his donation cup. Billy Ray Harris, who is homeless and often sleeps under a bridge, was shocked to find that a diamond ring had been dropped in his collection cup while begging last Friday (Feb 15).[1]

Shown above is the Full Moon eclipse of June 4, 2012. Since it is placed on the horizon axis it is very meaningful for Kansas City according to the rules of mundane astrology. The corresponding New Moon (May 20,2012)  was a solar eclipse amongst the stars of Pleiades and Perseus [2].

The Pleiades and the conjoining stars of Perseus stimulate dynamic heroic action to seed new paths forward in our lives and to create new infrastructures that support our fundamental nourishment and domestic wellbeing. It impels methodical tenacious perseverance in this pursuit. This theme is set in motion on this New Moon and it will carry through into the months ahead.

Our Full Moon eclipse brings us from our original Perseus-Pleiades Eclipse New Moon theme to the perspective provided by Ophiuchus and Hercules *. This too is the theme that will express through the new 584-day Earth-Venus cycle—surrender to the Divine Feminine Essence in life—to allow it to bring the abundance, beauty, and love we all seek to have in our lives and in our world. It is a major shift for much of humanity to surrender the modality of fighting to survive, of having a focus on self and personal gain, especially when struggling to survive. Yet this surrender is the only way to alleviate that struggle. It is by embracing the unconditional compassion to express love in all areas of our lives and to care for all life that will change our world.

The transit inspires us to create the means to move forward in a new heart-centered way that supports the fundamental physical needs for people, home and family—a key quality of Taurus.[2]




The event  took place on Feb. 15. The New Moon of Feb. 10, 2013 at Kansas City is shown above. Note  that (a) it falls at 22Aq i.e. the MC of the lunar eclipse chart so that it activates the themes discussed above (b) the IC (4pi) of the New Moon chart is conjunct Mars (6pi) and Neptune (2pi). Mars-Neptune in Pisces would translate to  compassionate action or action to help someone in trouble. Neptune (2pi) is conjunct the star Enif  (2pi)


Enif of Pegasus, the nose of the magical flying horse, brings intuitiveness and sensitivity to the humanitarian / Aquarian pursuit. Enif is characteristic of altruistic people, those with the intuitive awareness to recognize what is of essence, of value, and worthy of humanitarian support. It is of those who are capable of providing material and financial support and who have the sensitivity to do so. A fortuitous star, Enif asks us to follow our intuition to do what is truly supportive to our greater wellbeing and to those around us. [3]



Mars and the IC are conjunct the star Gamma (γ) Aquarius, Sadalachbia (6pi),  a 4th magnitude greenish star in the right arm of the Water Bearer. This star was  also called  The Lucky Star of Hidden Things or Hiding Places. Amongst other things it referred to good luck in finding things that were hidden or lost!

The Sabian symbol for the New Moon [4] adds meaning that helps better understand the dynamics at work.

PHASE 322 (AQUARIUS 22°): A RUG IS PLACED ON THE FLOOR OF A NURSERY TO ALLOW CHILDREN TO PLAY IN COMFORT AND WARMTH.

KEYNOTE: The warmth of understanding which comes to those who, early in life, are open to new possibilities.

Man is never left without assistance when eagerly seeking to grow emotionally and spiritually. This second stage symbol contrasts the kindness inherent in so many of life's situations with the tragic feeling of disillusionment represented by the first stage symbol. Through a warm APPRECIATION of basic opportunities and even small comforts, we can safely and happily grow into personal maturity.
