I find it divinely appropriate that Venus - the planet most associated with the feminine - chose to complete her 121.5 year journey not in May, but in the masculine month of June. May has always seemed like a very feminine month to me, perhaps because I associate it with Mother's Day and I spend time preparing the soil. I tend a lot to Mother Earth in May. Together we begin to warm up from the colder months and we begin to open to new things that entice us. The decidedly masculine task of planting seeds is also a part of my May celebrations. I simply adore those first moments of plunging into the soil and dancing with the texture, smell, contours and dampness. Then tenderly planting a seed or start. I associate May with the feminine, but June honors the masculine.
Father Sun is at full strength in June on Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year. We celebrate fathers in June. And here in 2012 we are invited to balance the masculine by opening our hearts as we move into a new world age. Venus,by moving across the Sun and infusing a feminine touch in June teaches us the power and ease of working together.
The last world age has been one of separation, the new world age is one of union, co-creation and heart-centered action. I feel such a relief with this new energy. I have felt so burdened and tired in the last few years with going it alone. It simply does not make good sense to me anymore. I'm tired because it's just not sustainable. I am loving the ease and juiciness of working with my environment, talents, capabilities and community instead of trying to overcome or cut through them. I'm loving the dance of creativity. It has its challenges, of course. We just need to remember we cannot keep doing things the same way.
In the last 5 years I have wondered what's wrong with my ability to manifest. Previously, I have been able to manifest quickly. But of late it seems that everything I aim for never quite lands. While it's true that I have also been in a major life transition and discerning what I truly want has been a more involved process, I've felt there's more to my inability to manifest. I have found great clarity around what I want in the last 6 months, but still the manifestation process was just not working.
One day, in my Spirit council, I asked about this situation. My guides showed me how fast things are moving right now. They showed me aiming for my goal, but by the time "my arrow" flew to the target, it had moved. This method has simply become inefficient. "It's harder to hit a moving target," they smiled. Then they showed me holding a large basket. In the center of that basket was my intention, which acted as a magnet. They showed everything moving fast while I held strong with my basket and intention. Very quickly the basket filled up. The lesson: instead of going out and making things happen (masculine approach) it is now time to magnetize your intention and allow what you desire to come to you.
I've found this visual very helpful. And every time I start gearing up and going after something I want - out of habit - I seem to encounter blocks and diversions. Like the Lover I am choosing to stand strong with my basket and I am discovering that I have chosen away from feeling burdened and overwhelmed. Things are flowing easily when I honor this choice.
