Venus At the Solar Plexus Gateway of Descent
Venus Meets the Moon today at 1:45 pm EST at 12 degrees Sagittarius to form the 4th Gateway of Descent.
The Solar Plexus Chakra is ruled by Mars, Aries, and Scorpio. This is considered the Gate of Authority, and Speaks to us about our personal power, our animus, our erectness in the world. From a developmental standpoint, we are looking at how the primal, the animal, our instinctual selves, and our deep desires, all collide with the Upper Chakras --The Rational, Conscious, Eloquently Communicative, and Feeling,— to inform who we truly are at our core.
As the Mission statement of Aries is “I AM”. That is exactly what the crux of the Solar Plexus coalesces around.
We look at two different types of Power. Mars, the Will to Act. Power over. Force. AND, the Pluto, the Power that is forged in the dark. When we are at our lowest. The power that comes from having nothing left to loose. Scorpionic Power.
The Solar Plexus, as the seat of the self, acts as our inner sun. Our first gate of self or individual consciousness.
Here we are concerned with expressing Divine Will. The Will that emanates forward from the essential self. Not the ego, not our inner children, not our “parts”, but the SELF in connection to the DIVINE SPARK.
Likewise, the sign Aries is connected to the initial divine spark of life. The initial function of bringing revelation to life, in material form.
Mars, and The Solar Plexus remind us to live in the present. To take risks, to be assertive, and brave. To anchor our dreams here on Earth.
Here Venus is less concerned about harmony, and whether or not things are balanced on the collective level, and much more concerned with living out her deepest truth.
In the Solar Plexus Gateway, she is primal, and impulsive. Deeply connected to her passionate, intuitive nature.
One of the things I’ve always liked about Judeo-Christian Spirituality is its passion.
IT’s ability to call a spade a spade, to call out right from wrong.
In the shadows of the Solar Plexus, we we loose connection to our personal power, our will, and/or capacity to move through life with inner authority and erectness. Whether we are doing that through over spiritualization, or through over dependence on others, balancing this Chakra goes a long way towards anchoring our dreams in this 3-D reality.
In “Descent Spirituality”, as I’ve begun to call my own body of work with the Feminine, we are called to hold both poles. Spirit AND Human. SPIRIT IN HUMAN. HUMAN IN SPIRIT. Both coalesce in this Domain that houses our divine spark. Our inner animal is elevated towards self consciousness. And self-consciousness descends and reacquaints itself with our inner animal. Our instinctual selves.
This month, Venus in Fiery Sagittarius gives us the vigor, upliftment, and MENU of delights to explore both the our instinctual and spiritual nature.
This promises to be a fortuitous gateway to begin the year.
