If you’re walking towards the west at dusk, you’ll most likely see Venus there now. She’s separating from the Sun and becoming higher in the sky at sunset, symbolising the part of the Inanna myth where she’s about to enter through the 2nd gate of ascension – the Gate of Creativity later this week. Activating the sacral chakra, this gate is our opportunity to express our emotional truth, honour the complex dynamics of our relationships, manifest our creative essence while exploring our fantasies.

This Venus Moon conjunction will activate the 11th degree of Cancer, a sign ruled by the Moon which likes to nurture, connect and nourish others, especially those in our tribe, family or even childhood friends. Needless to say, Venus loves to indulge in the company of the Moon in Cancer, so their exact sextile with Uranus in Taurus (Venus’ sign) could bring some unexpected pampering breaks from the current intensities of the skies. So if you feel the call of this lovely little ‘disruption’, I say, go for it! It’s great medicine especially if you’ve been deeply questioning your identity and its dharma, caused by this conjunction’s exact square to Chiron in Aries.

If your sacral charkra is imbalanced, even more reason to prepare yourself for a self-nourishing sojourn. Low back pain, sciatica, gynae issues, pelvic pain, libido problems are some physical indications of an imbalance here.

At a wider glance, this Venus Moon conjunction activates the Total Solar Eclipse in Cancer back on the 2nd July 2019. New patterns of growth established from that period are called into focus, nudging you to check in with your emotional truth about where you’re at in relation to that time of creation. Even more striking – the current Gemini eclipse on the 10th June, is at the EXACT ANTICIA point of the Cancer eclipse of July 2019. Secret gateways connecting these two portals are open right now. So timely that this Venus Moon gate is activating the watery essence of the sacral chakra, that we may flow between these two marker points in time and space to manifest our creative reality. Are you ready to step into the flow of creation?

If you want to hear more, @mizchartreuse and I will be going live on the eclipse day – 10th June – to explore this Venus Moon gate in more detail. Join us over at @mizchartreuse ‘s page live or on the replay.

I’ll be back next month with the next Venus Moon conjunction reflections as Inanna heads through the next portal of power.
