November 14th heralds the release of Venus from its reversed position and he moves direct.
Venus is transiting Virgo, an earth sign ruled by Mercury. Virgo is the Virgin Sun Queen who brings sustenance to the people in the form of fuel and grain.
Venus is appearing in the night sky in the star constellation Chitra, the divine architect. Chitra’s brilliance is compared to a diamond and people with Chitra Moon or Ascendant are shining, glittery people who love sparkles and dazzles.
Tvastr is the divinity here. He can manifest heavenly design on the earthly plane. The challenge for Chitra is disillusionment. Beautiful imaginings are brought into form only to bring disappointment. The lesson is that the material world is but a reflection of the true beauty of the divine accessed through a pure heart and an inward surrender. In this regard this nakshatra is a turning point in the zodiac in which the sadhu is awakened to devotional love, such as expressed by Rada toward Krishna and Rumi toward his divine lover. The outer world can never bring fulfillment.
And yet Venus moving forward now ushers in a new phase, a release from relationship struggles and confusions and a forward momentum in love, abundance, beauty, harmony and prosperity.
On the 14th Venus is in the 4th house from the Ascendant which is the fire sign Sagittarius, ruled by the benevolent guru, Jupiter and in the nakshatra called Mula, a profound placement symbolized by a sacred healing root. Mula is the portal at the center of our galaxy through which the energy of the Galatic or Central Sun shines its glorious divinity. The ruler of Mula is Ketu the deeply spiritual south node of the moon who takes away all that is not in divine alignment. This could mean a deep healing of ancestral karmic patterns and gifts of healing for (wo)mankind. Jupiter oversees this karmic cleanse that brings freedom, peace and wisdom personally and collectively and because it is the fourth house ultimately brings stability, security and peace in the home.
The Moon is also in Sagittarius. The Moon is our deep pysche. He is in the nakshatra Uttara Ashada, the ever victorious aspirant who has earned many divine gifts. Through our deep reflections, willingness to face our shadows, acknowledge and release old pain and patterns, we are blesed by the grace of Venus, Jupiter and the Galactic Sun to rise into an new evolved expression of light and love.
Mercury also goes direct at this time, releasing us from obstacles around contracts, agreements, technology and communication. He is in Libra, the great balancer and diplomat who weighs the scales of justice. We can hope for peaceful resolutions to conflict globally. Mercury is in the nakshatra Swati ruled by Rahu.
Swati is graceful and resilient, forever open and intrigued to learn and grow with the determination to manifest a delicate flower through a rock. Her divinity is Vayu, the lord of the winds, suggesting flexibility and willingness to adapt and change.
Altogether, this shift of forward movement by Venus and Mercury, should bring a forward momentum of optimism and relief.
