Venus Transits the Sun

This was so beautiful to see with my own eyes! I made my own solar eclipse glasses and was awestruck when I first noticed that little dot passing over the sun. At about 6:30 PM EST on June 5, 2012 I got to see this once-in-a-life-time event. I missed the one in 2004 because I wasn't aware of it. I didn't pay much attention to astronomical events at that time even though I really liked astrology, but I will quote myself in a recent discussion about the 2004 Venus transit: "I remember the one in 2004. I definitely went through a huge shift in my consciousness. I suddenly started meeting with events & people in rare chance opportunities in which the resulting interactions brought about doorways that opened up to new dimensions of being."

So that sums up my experience for 2004, but can I say the same for this year?  Well, I'll have to pay attention to the details of my life and wait and see.
But here is something interesting that I still have yet to analyze:
The day before this, on Monday, June 4, 2012, I was introduced to a girl who's birthday is 3 days after mine and who is also 3 years older than me.  Her interest and depth of knowledge upon astrology is similar to mine!  This was really cool because I have never met anyone with the same amount of interest and knowledge of astrology as myself.  I'm sure we will become good friends, and I feel like this is part of what the Venus transit has brought into my life.  Also this girl looked just like a girl in my dream the night before which was a dream about acquiring the right flowers in  a flower shop......
Then less than an hour later, one of my friends gave me 40 dollars that she owed me, but in which I nearly forgot all about, so it was  a surprise to get some "extra" cash that night.  Then on my way home I was passing by a flower shop that was closed and it was trash day and in one of the bins were numerous bouquets of flowers!  I took two bouquets and they looked similar to the ones in my dream from the night before.
 I had this feeling that this was an act of Venus; giving me a friend, money, and flowers, all within 2 hours!  My lucky day I guess.  But what is luck if not just an auspicious placement of the planets in the sky in relation to your natal chart? 


I still have yet to analyze much about this Venus business.

Thie Sign Taurus in Astrology

Taurus the Gardener

The Moon is in Taurus.  

I wasn't remembering this when I went into the dollar store and got excited about how I could buy 3 packages of parsley seeds for just one dollar.  My first instinct was to go for the flower seeds, but my Virgo Earth Sun sign kicked in and forced me to choose the more practical and healthy choice.  

However, this Moon is urging me to go back to the store to get some pretty flower seeds to plant first thing in the morning.

I really feel like planting something! 

This feeling is stronger than last months Taurus Moon sign because for one thing, it is now spring.  Of course when it is spring, that is the time to plant things and the moon now being in this lovely Earth sign of Taurus which is ruled by Venus, the planet of beauty and lovely surroundings, then how could anyone not Act now under this Ambitious Aries Sun Shine to go with the feeling of the Taurus Moon to make something Pretty come up from the Earth?
