Well, that was interesting.
The crushing intensity of June is abating somewhat now that we’ve entered a new phase of the Mayan Ninth Wave and Venus has slipped into the underworld.
According to Carl Johan Calleman’s interpretation, the ninth and final underworld of the Mayan calendar began March 9 and completes October 28, 2011. Days and nights flow in nine- and 18-day rhythms, with one full wave pattern completing every 36 days.
The current phase – the Fourth Night – began July 13. During the 18-day “nights,” we assimilate the shifts that occurred during the previous 18-day “day” and release vestiges of past conditioning, patterning and beliefs that don’t serve our ongoing evolution.
The contrast of shadow and light was intensified last month by a series of three eclipses – June 1, June 15 and July 1. Chaotic energies associated with eclipses and an on-again, off-again grand cardinal cross kept things more than interesting as vast changes swept through our lives and our world.
Meanwhile, Venus slipped lower and lower in the pre-dawn sky throughout June, until she was lost in the sun’s light by July 11. Her shamanic journey away from our view began as our Sun meets the great star Sirius.
Venus re-emerges gradually in the western sky near sunset around the time of the September Equinox.
For more than two months, the journey is about integration, assimilation and transfiguration. We’re transformed as Venus shapeshifts into her quieter persona, the evening star.
The fires of purification continue to burn. Lifetimes of fear are released to reveal the radiant, core essence within.
Venus Cycle
The current 584-day cycle of Venus began in the pre-dawn hours of November 5, 2010, when the morning star burst forth to preside in the eastern horizon.
Although Venus will travel through the zodiac throughout this time, the sign of her heliacal rise determines the themes and tone of the entire cycle. Venus rose at 1 Scorpio back in November, so we’re in the midst of a 584-day shamanic passage of death and rebirth within the Venusian realms of love, beauty and abundance. Like the snake, we’re shedding the skin of what was, awaiting the emergence of essence within.
The current cycle culminates with a spectacular display on June 5/6, 2012, with a transit of Venus across the face of the Sun that will easily be visible from Earth. This is the bookend to a sister Transit of Venus in June 2004. These visual transits happen eight years apart, but rarely. The next one will be in 2117.
When Venus passes directly between the Sun and Earth, we see our sister planet as a small dot gliding slowly across the face of the Sun.
Her heliacal rise as morning star in the east on June 12, 2012, follows the transit of the solar disc.
From November 2010 through June 2012, the theme is releasing fears that dis-empower us, embracing transformation and experiencing rebirth.
This is an ideal time to re-examine your values, connect with the soul and express your authentic self.
The Experience
Our shamanic process has intensified greatly in recent weeks and months, facilitated by these natural passages.
I’ve been supporting many clients and hearing from others around the world. Common themes in this individual and collective experience include:
Love – What else is it? How else can we express it? How open are you to personal love and the divine experience of agape?
Relationships – Many are ending or reconfiguring, some are beginning. As we redefine ourselves, our relationships shift.
Creativity – As the old is destroyed, creative bursts follow. Something new is always being born. Are you embracing the birth of the new?
Sexuality/sensuality – Radical changes in self-awareness and the opening to creative flow lead to new expressions of sexuality and a more sensual experience of life.
Life purpose – What’s yours? Are you living it? Is your purpose shifting or leading you in new directions?
Chaos – Abrupt shifts can make us feel ungrounded and uncertain. Accidents, injuries and sudden illness are common.
Resistance – With so much change happening so quickly, parts of our selves tend to hold on to the way things were. Resistance can also express as anxiety and depression. Many attempt to escape in addictions.
Emotions – As the shell of our former reality cracks, raw emotion flows out. Hearts are opening to greater and greater love.
Other shifts – Jobs ending or beginning, new ventures starting up, relocation, real estate transactions, marriages and divorce are common during periods of electromagnetic volatility.
Remember, eclipses break up energy patterns. During the Ninth Wave, the evolution of consciousness accelerates by a factor of 20.
The old is crumbling, the new just taking shape. Now is a moment of supreme opportunity. Play in this expanded field of infinite possibility.
Enjoy the journey…
