Happy Friday the 13th! On this blessed Goddess day, both Venus and Mercury station direct.
After 40 days in the Underworld, Inanna has reclaimed her raiments and jewels and symbols of power and authority. She steps forth into the light, renewed and at peace with her dark sister, Ereshkigal. If you've been on an Underworld journey too, this day marks a time when you may finally take all the wisdom and blessings you've earned and start putting them to use in the upper world.
Venus is stationing direct in her home sign of Libra, where she is very good at doing the Venus things: bringing us love, harmony, connection and JUSTICE. The Sabian symbol of 22° Libra is "A child giving birds a drink at a fountain" - a beautiful symbol of how small, kind, thoughtful acts help refresh and sustain the world.
Mercury also stationing direct in Scorpio today means that communication about our deep, strange, underworld desires and impulses may become easier. The Sabian symbol of 5° Scorpio is "A massive, rocky shore." Many things may have washed up from the subconscious over the past weeks. Mercury is now prepared to move forward and help us sort through them and put them into words.
Both these planets are standing still in the sky today, before moving forward, so I think this is a great time to pause, reflect, and celebrate their work in our lives. Personally, I will be dressing my altar to honor the Goddess of Love in all her myriad forms, and thanking her for the many gifts she has brought into my life over the past 40 days.
Love and blessings to you, friends
