Speaker 1:

Welcome, and hello, this is Parker McPhinney on stardust stereo, your astrologer and your source for what's going on. What we say in astrology is:"As above, so below". Today, we're going to be talking about Venus retrograde. Currently, Venus is retrograde, and it's been retrograde since May 13th. And as Venus is retrograde, we'll discuss the ways in which you can really utilize this period of revaluing, reconnecting, rewriting, and reducing. Those are some of the key words that happens when Venus goes retrograde. It's an'RE' sort of event, anything that starts with RE, and then you can use a combination of the general meaning of Venus, and then you know where to dig in and get rid of and realign and re communicate with others that you love. Venus is the planet that rules our love vibrations. What we need to feel love and how we also express love. It also is the planet that has rulership over our value system. So while it's retrograde, we often come into a period in which we have an opportunity to do a check in and see if our needs are still being met. If our partner's needs are still being met. If there's changes that have come about that haven't yet been communicated or expressed, now is a great time to really have a heart to heart and, k ind o f up your loving vibration. We see this very much in the world today, and I feel that this is an opportunity to sort of spiral up, take your, i nnate energy, your innate love nature that everybody has, and try to develop it, to rise above the circumstances that we find ourselves in today and using this love vibration to be more, l o ving! Really, that's the whole point, Isn't it? So let's talk a little bit about when it went retrograde, what's happening right now, and what we might expect in the next couple of months. Because Venus is in Gemin i and it happens to be at 16 degrees Gemin i. And the last date that it was at 16 degrees Gemini was April 24th. That's when it was still in direct motion. So today being the 30th of May, it's now been retrograde for a couple of weeks, and it has returned to that 16 degrees, Gemini. And so where that 16 degrees falls in your chart, and you can have this calculate online for free there's many sites, Astrolab.com. And if you just Google"get a free birth chart", you can usually go online and punch in the day you were born, the city, the time, and it'll pop up your chart. And you can look and see where the glyph, the icon for Gemini, which looks like the number two in the Roman numerals. And see where it falls in your chart. But if you don't want to go through all the energy of that, you can still take this information of Venus being smack dab in the middle of the Zodiac sign Gemini, and know that it's rulership is all about how you communicate the love, because the rulership of Gemini is mercury. And so, Venus being in the sign of Gemini, we'll look at yes, the love component, but we also want to look at the way we communicate that love. And you can look at your chart and just look to see where the house, where that glyph of Gemini is, and know that that house is where you can pour a lot of your energy right now. And it'd be quite useful. And there's 12 houses in the Zodiac, in the Zodiac chart, you know, the Astro wheel, there's 12 houses and you just go along and look at the house and I'll give you a little rundown about what each house means. The first house is the self. The second house is monetary. Third house is siblings. The fourth house is the home. Fifth house deals with children and creativity. Sixth house is your day to day work and also house cleaning and pets. Seventh house is partners, business and also romantic. The eighth house is your partner's money or monies that you don't actually earn, but you benefit from. It also is a little bit of a taboo house, what we call because it rules the sexual energy. It rules, it's more of a psychological in depth house, sex, death, taxes, other people's money. The ninth house rules your higher education, other cultures, your belief system. The tenth house is your standing in the community and your boss. The 11th house, is friends, longterm hopes and wishes. And the 12th house is the retreat house. It's where you have your little cave to restore. And there's many other meanings that are applied to all those houses, but those are just some of the basic, straightforward front doors of those houses. So wherever 16 degrees Venus falls in your chart, you can know that that's the area, If it falls in say- your 12th house and Venus's there, and it's retrograde, that's a restoring component, in your life. Maybe it's the art studio. Maybe it's your bedroom, where you go and read and hide. Maybe it's the bathroom, or you take"Blanche Dubois" baths, and restore your skin and your sense of calmness. But you would know that- that Venus hanging out in that 12th house, for what's going to be actually several months, means that that's the area where you can pay attention to and discover new loves. Perhaps another way of looking at this, if you don't want to go into the bother of, or the effort of seeing where, how, what house its transporting this energy to, you can know that just in general- Venus, like I said before, rules love. How you receive it, how you get it, how you give it, how you put it out there to the universe, and really the key right now, is in spiraling upward. And as it goes through this retrograde cycle, one of the most important and useful tools is to love thy self. Right now, we're in such a stressful time for so many people. And in the last couple of days, we've had a lot of angst that's been expressed by the African American community. A lot of really tragic events have occurred that do not reflect love at all on any level. And right now America is in a really crisis and sad time. And so the upping of your love vibration helps to have us heal. Have us learn the higher lesson of accepting each other. To do no harm, to cause no harm and to help those that are close to you, if they don't understand- have them- everybody understands love. So have them in your arms, have them in your thoughts, help to elevate this vibration right now. And what I would also add to this is that the Venus retrograde period can often bring past loves into your life. Or memories of the past loves, or past relationships in which you might've had some regret. So this is an excellent time to write love letters, to write forgiveness letters, to even just write poetry. To explore your creative and compassionate and artistic abilities to communicate whatever love means to you. And the written word is really very strong right now because Venus is in the sign of Gemini, which rules communication. And I want to go through each little mode of the signs and how the Venus in Gemini might activate for you. The air signs, Gemini is an air sign and the air signs are Aquarius, Libra and Gemini. And so as Venus is in Gemini, those three signs will benefit the most mojo from it, because they're gonna really flow with this Venus energy in Gemini. And Aquarius by its very own nature is dealing with humankind. So Aquarius really gets a big plug in to be able to align itself with this Gemini in Venus vibration. Libra of course, is all about love and wants harmony. So it as well will have an easy flow. It's in what we call a trine angle, both Aquarius and Libra. Now, of all the signs, the sign Gemini, and I'm speaking of sun signs here, your sun sign is in the same sign as Venus. So you're really going to get the strongest wind of how you feel about love, what you value, where you want to point that arrow of love and how to embrace within yourself self-love. Then we have the earth signs, the earth signs- this is again, I'm speaking of the sun sign earth signs. They're going to struggle a little bit more with the adjustment of this Venus in Gemini. And its Virgo that in square, so there will be a little bit of maybe some odd feelings, odd kind of contradictions within the self. I love this,"but..." sort of sentences that happen. So it's an excellent time for you to kind of X out that"but..." part by exploring a little bit more where the roadblocks are t o y our expressing love for yourself and for others. Taurus is just one sign behind Gemini. So it will have a better go of it, of all the earth signs, in understanding Gemini's mental capacity to love, b ecause Gemini in Venus really likes to talk about love and it idealizes love through words, and it's a much more flowing element than the T aurus sun sign would prefer. They want the really tangible things that they can hold. All right, you love me and I want to hear it and that's great, but you know, you can show me that you love me by creating a great meal or some small token. So they, they get Gemini, but they're not 100% in the same way, expressing their love quality. Capricorn. The third earth sign is in an inconjunct to Gemini. That's 150 degrees and that's a real adjustment. So Capricorn's needs in love and way of expressing love really has to sit down and work a little bit harder to understand where Venus in Gemini is coming from. So have some patience with the Capricorn people in your life. If you are a Gemini sun sign, if they don't quite get the way in which you express your love vibration, it's not an impossible task to find a meeting ground, but it means a little bit more compromise in shared likes and dislikes because Venus in Gemini also deals with just your preferred way of expressing love. And that may be-oh wow let's, you know, go to a'zoom' book reading club and somebody who has a Sun sign in Capricorn might not quite get that. So you're going to have to work a little bit harder or in a different angle to reach their heart. It's not gonna work just with words. They also are tangible. So, you know, sure I'll join the zoom book club, but can we have some little reality around it in the here and now, maybe we can share amongst ourselves a back and forth discussions about what this book club is going to mean, and who's going to lead and who's going to follow and have some structure to it because Sun sign Capricorns really love structure. So if you can put some structure into the events that you want to share, that's a better way to kind of open up the sun sign Capricorn heart to this Gemini in Venus vibration. The third group is the fire signs, and Sagittarius Leo and Aries are those fire signs. Now, Sagittarius will be in an opposition to this Venus in Gemini energy. And so it's like being on a Seesaw. It's completely opposite of the mode of operation that Sagittarius sun sign is used to, but there is definitely some attraction there because as we know, opposites always attract. So their curiosity will be really gotten through just being open and communicative and maybe raising some of the bigger issues and bigger questions in life because the philosophical investigations are what really grabs on to Sagittarius. Now, Gemini in Venus is all about the really specific little pointers of that big philosophy. So that's one area that you can kind of, grab the heart with, take a streamlined subject matter and then go in depth with it. Leo is in a 60 degree relationship to that Venus in Gemini, and that's a real flowing relationship. So as long as you are paying attention to a Leo sun, it doesn't really matter too much what you say, as long as there's a smile on your face and you make them THE star. A ries is never shy about anything, Sun sign Aries is never shy. And they are also in a flow relationship with this Venus in Gemini, and it's real eye opener for them, t o have an opportunity to explore areas- that they can pioneer and learn about. So when Venus is in Gemini, for them, it's welcomed because it brings, it can bring the possibility of new knowledge. Or a new kind of element in the relationship, that's maybe a little bit more brother, sister like, which is very, very much about Venus in Gemini. It's, it's the twins. And it's like I said, it's intellectual and it's communication and Ar ies l oves anything that's new. So if you approach your love quest, with this new path of newness and, very friendly vibration, then doors are certainly going to open. So those are a little bit of information of how each sun sign can respond to Venus in Gemini, because it's going to be in Gemini until August 8th! It will go direct on June 25th. So June 25th, Venus retrograde will go direct, but it stays in the same sign of Gemini until August 8th. So we've been in periods where one planet stays in the same sign for quite a long time. But interestingly enough, this summer, we're seeing a lot of that. We're seeing a lot of planets in a certain sign, staying there for months on end. So what that says to me is that the universe is giving us an opportunity to truly explore what that Zodiac sign, the Zodiac sign symbolizes, and then how to express that in the particular planet that it's hanging out in for so long. So as Venus goes through this Gemini Zodiac placement for these months, I think a great thing to truly embrace and especially in lieu of events that have happened this year and also this week is to explore the concept of the love of brother and sister. That we are all really related on the spirit level to everybody on this earth plane. And to really embrace holding hands with our brothers and sisters on this planet, especially those that are suffering and try to spiral up, like I said, and lift the hearts in a way that lightens the load. Now, all of June Venus is in a square relationship to Mars and all of June Venus is in a square relationship to Neptune. And square relationships are not to be feared. That's the 90 degree angle because the truth is the movers and the shakers of the world are the ones that get things done. And more often than not movers and shakers are the ones that have really tense relationships amongst the planets within their chart. So even if you have a really pretty easy going chart, you can still feel a little bit of this, Oh, you know, kind of convoluted struggle, energy of Venus and Mars and Venus and Neptune in the month of June. And rather than seeing that as a downer, you can look at that as an opportunity to work out the Mars energy and to work out the Neptune energy, which will not happen necessarily easy. And Mars rules the way in which we go about getting things done. So when Venus is in a square to Mars, it indicates a little bit of tension between the female and the male sexes, and that's in general- for the whole month. And it's probably also, I would say true because of the stress that everybody's under in the entire world, but especially the components of America, where it's so much is unknown about how the future is going to be gone forward. And then Venus in square of Neptune is about the conflict between my fantasy idealism of love and how it's not necessarily being met. And how can I come to a conclusion that's working for me of my ideal and trying to make it real. Or the ideal that's not yet real, but being at peace with the space in between, you know, where my dream hasn't happened yet, but I'm working toward it. So that square shows the struggle and the effort that we put forward. And Venus in square to Mars- when it's squared to Mars, it shows the tension between the sexes, but everybody knows- the attraction actually comes between two people when sparks fly and sparks fly because of the friction that is created. So I'm speaking on a really low level of the friction or the fun that happens when you flirt with somebody, the friction of the unknown, the little bit of wordplay that can happen, that excitement, energy, that's the kind of friction, that I'm speaking of, not like hardcore friction where we're uncomfortable friction. There's good friction, and there's bad friction. And I'm talking about the good friction. So those are just some thoughts that I want to leave you with- with Venus and Gemini for the entire period that Venus is in Gemini, with the retrograde period, and then also when it goes direct. So when it goes direct on June 25th, you'll be getting a little bit more of"Greenlights" for purchases that you might want to make, that maybe are a big investment, and you're a little afraid to make them. I would do my research right now- for finding items that are on sale and then looking for the things that are reduced, that are needed. And then when Venus goes direct on the 25th, I would definitely consider making a purchase from that research that you've done. Now, obviously there's some deals that are going to happen. And if you don't want to wait---the rule with the retrograde of any planet is you triple check everything three times before you sign on the dotted line.
