Venus's Rebirth

Venusian Day blessings from ancestor land. I’m deep in ritual in honor of my lineage, and hope that perhaps this may be inspiration for you to find ways to honor your lineage. We are officially in ancestor season and the veil to the Otherworld is thin, offering insights and inspiration from our beloved departed ones. 

Today is particularly special as Venus and the Sun conjunct. As you most likely know by now, Venus is retrograde, which began 3 Fridays ago.  Her retrograde lasts about 40 days and 40 nights. During the exact retrograde station I was with 8 other powerful womxn in the Middle pyramid in the Land of Kemet.  This activation continues to live through me. During that time so many of us both consciously and unconsciously let things die that no longer serve. 

Today Venus is reborn. She is renewed. She begins a new 8 year cycle in her retrograde station in the sign of Scorpio. You too are rebirthed and you may look to the place in your chart where 2-3 degrees Scorpio lies to gain deeper insights. You may also journey back to 8 years ago to see what you began then.  For me, 8 years ago I was entering my third trimester of pregnancy.  Now, I am birthing a whole new identity and relation to self.  This is powerful and there is great clarity available. 

Today’s alignment offers us an opportunity to put to use the intense work of clearing and stripping away that so many of us have been doing since May of this year. The old, outworn paradigms that you were given in your childhood may be buried and composted in the dirt.  Like the phoenix, your consciousness may rise from the ashes.

I invite those of you who are local to join me in welcoming the amazing songstress Jai Jagdeesh to our Appalachian community Monday, November 5.  If you scroll to the bottom of this love note you’ll see the link to sign up. And all who identify as womxn are welcome to gather in my temple living room on the Dark Moon in honor of the Scorpio New Moon, Tuesday November you may sign up below. 

May this Venus retrograde bestow infinite blessings upon you and yours.  May your journey through the Underworld be filled with good medicine for you and your lineage. 

In the beauty way,
Ra Ma
