At the time of writing, we are fast approaching the New Moon in Pisces of March 2021. We are just about to hit the Aries equinox. The air is heavy with madness, poetry, the whisperings of ancestors. Men and women all over the globe are tapping into these intuitive energies, getting out their tarot cards, saging their auras, maybe smoking a bit of kif or getting into some wormwood tea to help along the visions. We may be in our place of yearning, we may be in our place of being. Venus conjunct Neptune is making one thing clear, however- we are all here together, tapped into the one thing that is true. And that is that the truth is elusive! It comes in its own time. Its a free unit, like you and like me.
Today I would like to delve into one of my favourite energies to delve into, and that is the energy of Venus conjunct Neptune, whether it presents itself in transit, in your birth chart, or in synastry. For this can be the ultimate drug and the ultimate nightmare, and as a 12th house Scorpio Moon I have come to terms with the existence of both… the best way I can!
Both of these beings (Venus and Neptune) are born of the sea, which is in and of itself (of course) a symbol. All models of the psyche that I have so far encountered in my studies of Jung, Thelema, Qabalah, Buddhism, alchemy and even Christianity have an awareness of this sea that is common to all living beings. For you and I are like the ocean; mostly water and full of the unfathomable. It is something that is within us all, but it difficult to grasp or to quantify. Also, it contains any number of secrets! This is the collective unconscious, the storehouse of a gazillion fermenting energies, the subterranean strangeness that mirrors life on land, but runs deeper darker and more savage.
This does not seem to make much sense when it comes to Venus except when you consider that what we value is often born of what we collectively value. However, Venus is a little closer to earth than the place she was birthed from. It keeps closer company with the Sun (the conscious I), it is more visible and tangible. That which is of Venus is a little closer to our ego desires and our drive for survival.
Neptune is further out there and is invisible to us, except when we use powerful telescopes and binoculars. This energy is more nebulous and difficult to quantify, oh but when we meet with it it calls us deep- very deep, into the boundlessness of deep space. It promises something amazing, something limitless and bursting with treasure- and indeed it is, as the psyche is absolutely rich with all of the abundance that can ever be imagined.
When these two come together, their energies become intermingled. Venus moves deeper and into uncharted waters. The boundaries of earth and air dissolve, dissapear, become unknown under the rising tide. What we value becomes something far more ethereal and intangible than our mere physical survival or ego presence, we tap into our deeper divinity. We flow in and out, kicking our feet against the submerged patterns that link us together, and we experience a more transcendant form of joy and love.
But we also move in danger. Venus might move too deep too soon, and start swimming in psychic waters that are heavy with waves and hostile mermen- she may panic, start clinging too hard to control- which of course is the worst thing to do when drowning. Things get mixed and unclear when we, afraid for our survival, try too vigorously to interpret what is not of the more mundane level of reality. Then we get ourselves in the crap.
With Venus-Neptune, it is important to remember that all is as it will be and should be. This is not a familiar place, but you are closer to its nature than you realise. What is being thrown up into your awareness here is simply a mirror of either your faith in Divinity or your lack of faith in Divinity. Please listen to the collective murmur your gods and your ancestors coming over the waves. You are here, you are safe… We got you… we love you!
