Lately, I've been conversing with the cosmos about how I shine the light of the divine feminine. First, here is a bit about how I use astrology. One of my favorite astrologers Mary Pat Lynch, Rising Moon Astrology, once said, "Astrology is a way of being in conversation with the cosmos". That sums up my experience perfectly. I don’t often use astrology as a predictive tool to tell me what will happen. I mostly use it as guidance to understand what energy is available for me to draw on. All planets and placements have a high vibration and a low vibration. It is up to me to choose how I draw on that energy. For example, my Sun is in Cancer. In high vibration, Cancer creates a loving home that is nurturing and supportive. In low vibration, Cancer can be afraid about physical safety and become clingy. One of my gifts is the ability to create a nurturing space for people to be their authentic Selves in my “home” whether that is my house or an office, And sometimes, I get frozen by fear for my physical safety. This came up when I tried riding a bike in a city. Not for me. Also in low frequency, I am at risk of not leaving the house. I've been mindful of that tendency in these COVID times. When I find myself in low vibration mode, astrology is a great place to find a path to high vibration. Can I turn my shell into shelter?
Second, I need to talk a little bit about aspects to explain how I am exploring the divine feminine in my cart. In addition to where a planet sits in the chart, there are nuances to be learned by how it relates to other planets based on their placements. These relationships defined by the angel two planets create is called an aspect. The most common aspects considered in astrology are the angles created when you divide the zodiac wheel (circle) by 2, 3, or 4. Recently, I heard Rick Levine talk about the aspect created by dividing by 5. When you divide a circle by five and connect every other point you get a star. A star in a circle.
A star in a circle, that's a pentagram! My witch's heart jumped. And yes, that star hits all four elements of the zodiac. Pentagrams and elements, I was entranced. In my last blog, I talked bout the importance of being Divine Love. One of the ways I shine Divine Love is to balance the divine feminine and the divine masculine in my heart. Exploring the insights and guidance of the pentagrams in my natal chart opens a window. This window looks into the divine feminine of who I was born to be. And promotes that balance between divine feminine and masculine.
I asked my Self what is the specific energy for me to work with? Here is an example of the inspiration I found for shining divine feminine light. If this calls to you as a way to explore your divine feminine, I've posted instructions in the Lessons Learned section.
Messages from My Venus
Venus is the planet of love, more than romantic love. She is a portal for Divine Love. When I embrace my Venus in her highest vibration, I bring forth divine beauty into the world. Here is the message of Venus to me through the 5 points of her pentagram/star.
Point 1: Divine beauty flows forth from me when I devote myself to the natural order and lead and heal as a priestess. Calling in Land (Earth) and Water.
(Virgo, Twelfth House)
Point 2: Divine beauty manifests abundantly when I go deep inside and flow forth from there. Calling in Water and Land (Earth)
(Scorpio, Second House)
Point 3: Divine beauty flows forth when I provide a safe space for embodied wellness for myself and others. Calling in Land (Earth) and Water,
(Capricorn, Fourth House)
Point 4 Divine beauty emanates forth when I relate to others with my whole self bravely and with daring. Calling in Fire and Air
(Aries, Seventh House)
Point 5: Divine beauty vibrates in when I envision building bridges with authenticity. Calling in Air and Fire
(Gemini, Ninth House)
I am just beginning to understand these deep messages. Yet, I have already found them to help me choose high vibration energy. When I find anger or judgment about someone or some situation sticking around. First I explore the block in me that is keeping those emotions around. Then do practices to clear it I don't skip the clearing steps! After clearing, these pentagram messages help me shift into a higher vibration. They lead me to ask how can I build bridges with authenticity? Can I manifest abundance from going inside to let the Self flow forth? They lead me to being. Being Divine Love.
If this has resonated at all with you, I highly recommend two resources. Heidi Rose Robbins' has a Charting Your Course workbook that is a stellar way to explore the energies of astrology. That course helped me deepen my understanding and it gave me a foundational reference for exploring the pentagrams. Second, listen to the Astrology Hub Cosmic Connection Retrograde Bonanza. Rick Levine gives a heart-opening explanation of Venus and the relationship with divine beauty and order and the 5-pointed star.
