Unfortunately, I missed seeing this epic event (live). Worldwide this was highly anticipated and significant -- especially to astronomers -- as it was the last time Venus will make a cameo appearance in our lifetime. Likewise, astrologers and spiritualists found it just as significant. This is where it gets interesting. Outside of the realm of science, planet Venus is commonly viewed as the astronomical embodiment of all things feminine. Going further, it symbolizes the divine feminine or "goddess" of love, fertility, and communication. Whereas the Sun represents the divine masculine.
"Venus passed between the Earth and our Sun on June 8th, 2004, and initiated an eight-year cycle known as the “Venus Transits”. The Venus Transits cycle is a rare celestial event that occurs every 113 – 130 years, when Venus eclipses the Sun two times – at the beginning and at the end of an eight-year period (Govinda)."Notably, the ancient Mayans perceived the second Venus transit as a milestone of sorts; indicating the coming of a new era, set to emerge... wait for it... wait for it... yep, you guessed it, 12-21-12. I'm sure you've already made the obvious connection between the Venus transit and The Age of Aquarius -- aka and often referred to as the "The Age of Enlightenment". In the spirit realm, the first and second Venus transit(s) are profoundly significant as they signify "the return of the divine feminine", and in theory, "she" [feminine energy] has just awakened. What does all of this mean for us? Well, ultimately Venus transitions are meant to restore spiritual balance in the world.
According to this philosophy, the energy of the society has been out of sync (for lack of a better term) for quite some time -- for centuries the focus of mankind's affairs has been rooted in patriarchal societies, politics and dogma that show little respect for feminine wisdom (e.g. compassion, healing, nurture, transformation). In other words, too much masculine energy has tipped the scale; catalyzing naked aggression, fear, wars and injustices throughout history. Venus transit(s) are thought to rekindle the hearts' of man and put the our planetary family back in a right relationship. All in all, once the masculine and feminine energies are equally yoked, balance will be restored in the world. Admittedly, it all sounds like an elaborate fairy-tale but honestly, what doesn't?
Time will surely tell.
