Venus in the Heart of the Sun

Last night I taught a class on the Alchemy of Aphrodite to the women who have been journeying for nearly a year with me in the WOMB ALCHEMY temple. It has been quite some journey and in the cold heart of winter we are being asked to feel the radiance of Aphrodite and her beauty. Today is a day that Venus has made a journey to a special place...

There are moments in the turning of time when the world does not move forward so much as it gathers itself inward, when the great wheel pauses just long enough for something essential to be remembered ,through a deep bodily recognition that arrives quietly and rearranges us from the inside out.

Today Venus enters the heart of the Sun, and this meeting is deeply intimate, erotic, and sesnusal it is profoundly taking us inward, like a hand placed gently over the sternum, warming what has been held too tightly, calling scattered pieces of love, worth, and desire back to their source.

In this solar heart, Venus is asking to no longer shaped by response or reflection, no longer negotiating her value through being wanted, chosen, mirrored, or affirmed, but standing in her original radiance, where beauty does not perform and love does not seek permission to exist. This is the place where the feminine remembers herself as centre rather than orbit. She radiates and magnetises through her essence of being able to surrender to the divine dance that she feels in her womb

This Venus 'cazimi' as it is called in astrology carries a slow alchemy through the inner world, melting the subtle compromises that have been made in the name of harmony, softening the habits of overgiving, smoothing the edges where longing has been confused with truth, and illuminating, without cruelty, the places where energy has been spent without nourishment or return. You will feel this pain and it will bring you the flow of emtions if you allow. You may feel this as a deepening rather than a lift, a quiet seriousness, a desire to simplify, to refine, to choose fewer things with greater devotion, as if something within you is no longer willing to scatter its warmth across what cannot hold it.

The Sun does not overpower Venus here; he holds her, and in that holding her essence clarifies, her values condense, her knowing sharpens into something both tender and unyielding, something that can no longer pretend that all forms of love are equal, or that all invitations deserve a yes. This is a moment of recalibration that moves through your body first, before it ever reaches language, where your skin knows what feels right, where your breath responds instinctively to what is aligned, where your womb, heart, and solar centre remember what it means to be chosen from within. BUT... you have to be still enough, silent enough , in your body to feel it.

Venus cazimi invites a listening that is slow and honest, a turning toward the places where your light brightens naturally, and an equally honest acknowledgment of where it dims as information needed to make changes, as wisdom gathered through experience that is now ready to be honoured. It asks where you have been beautiful in ways that cost you, where you have softened yourself to maintain connection, where you have stayed loyal to stories of love that no longer match the woman you are becoming.

Today is for an inner vow to truth, for allowing your standards to rise organically, as a natural consequence of self respect ripening into clarity.

As Venus moves through the heart of the Sun, she carries a new coherence back into the world, and with her, you carry a quieter strength, a deeper fidelity to what feels enduring, a love that no longer needs to chase or convince, because it knows where it belongs. Let yourself stay close to that warmth today, let it settle, let it inform you gently, and trust that what emerges from this solar centre will shape your relationships, your choices, and your sense of beauty in ways that are subtle, steady, and lasting.

Venus reminds us all of her beauty , her pleasure, her magentism and most of all her deep radiating love that brings all distortions back to this truth . You as a woman hold her in your psyche, she is part of your Mythology too.
