Part I

The Archetypal-Astrological Jupiter Jupiter spends about one year in each zodiacal sign as it makes its sojourn through the heavens. During that time, Jupiter goes Retrograde once and spends about four months in Retrogression.

Jupiter truly is the planet that represents the function of intuitive perception in our consciousness. Whereas Mercury likes to process and gather data via the mind, Jupiter isn’t concerned about data per se, but with what it means. Jupiter symbolizes the capacity to perceive life as being symbolically imbued with meaning and purpose. Jupiter is also concerned with the expansion of our lives and of what we could ideally be. In our solar system, Jupiter is the largest planet, the bigger the better is Jupiter’s motto! To delve deeper into this, let’s look at the mythologies connected to the planet Jupiter.

Trough out mythological history Jupiter has been associated with the king, patriarch, and the chief god in various pantheons. The gods associated with the astrological planet Jupiter, such as Zeus, were known as gods of thunder, learning, wisdom, justice, and prophetic vision. As I just mentioned, Jupiter was the Roman god the Greeks knew as Zeus. Zeus was a benefic god of the heavens, ruling the expansive and limitless space above the earth. From his view on high, Zeus could see all, which illustrates the capacity of the astrological Jupiter to give us holographic intuitive glimpses at the bigger picture from a higher altitude. Zeus didn’t like limits, nor does our astrological Jupiter like limits and encourages us to explore everything ‘we could be’.

Jupiter wants to show us what is possible through a very optimistic perception of life. When Jupiter is going direct in the heavens and through our charts it brings expansion, holographic bigger picture insight, and optimism to the planets and houses it transits with an intuitive trust in future outcome.

Jupiter Themes -Confidence -Esteem -Faith -Belief -Risk -Expansion -Integrity -Holographic Nature of Potential

The Archetype of Jupiter brings light, faith, and confidence, with a vision that is holographic in nature, meaning it perceives the interconnectedness of the Divine Plan and Bigger Picture. “This is what you could be if you only take a risk and have a little faith…” Jupiter whispers in our ear when it’s going forward in direct motion. In fact, for Jupiter, faith is a mode of learning – a way of exploring our lives energetically via the vehicle of intuition, which again differentiates Jupiter from Mercury. Learning for Jupiter involves participation with life in which wisdom is gained via the meaning of the experiences here in earth school. You will find Mercury reading a book in the corner learning lots of facts and figures, while Jupiter is in the other corner cracking his book open on HoloKompass Astrology & Soul Contracts! The philosopher Pascal summed this up succinctly when he said, “Earthly things must be known to be loved; Divine things must be loved to be known.” Jupiter simply intuits what is True. Not Right/Wrong, but True per your Authenticity, Potential and Soul Contract. What happens when Jupiter goes Retrograde? First, as Jupiter is concerned with meaning, when Jupiter goes retrograde inner gravity pulls you inside yourself to investigate deeply the current philosophies or paradigms that you use to perceive life symbolically. Of course, the outer world will help you out on your journey within by causing the growth and expansion that you had hoped for to withdraw in the area of your natal chart/life in which Jupiter is going Retrograde in Libra, which will leave you with the question, “Why?” This question ignites the impetus to take steps up into higher altitudes to see things more symbolically because the ‘Bigger Picture’ is activated and a holographic perspective is needed before you make one more decision! Here’s how this can often breakdown: During Jupiter Retrograde, something that seemed like it was growing or moving forward stops as external circumstances thwart or block the desired results of expansion and growth. As this happens the only place to go is inside for a consultation with your intuition, Guidance Team, Angels, and Higher Power – and the energy that motivates your desires and achieving goals goes into neutral, allowing your inner intuition and wisdom to deepen. You get called home to your Soul per this Jupiter Retrograde activation around the themes it’s animating (all Libra this time!) This allows you to see that what you thought was so meaningful before the retrograde – whether it was a cherished goal, ideal, career prospect, business venture, relationship, or future vision - perhaps wasn’t in alignment with your Soul Contract, needs further soulful development, and perhaps restrictive to the full expression of your potential here on earth. Remember Jupiter loves freedom and expansion to be sure, but Jupiter’s Retrograde is the annual opportunity we are all given to re-evaluate what has meaning in our life and how we build our morality, sense of purpose, guiding life philosophy, goals, and ethics around that. Said another way, something promising ‘appears’ to not live up to its promise – but what’s really going on is that it has gone ‘underground’ for soulful maturation. Things pull back into the unconscious for more growth in the Libra part of your life, Potential, and Soul Contract. Then when Jupiter Stations Direct June 9th, 2017 and begins its forward movement and archetypal

activation, what’s in proper holographic alignment with your Potential and Destiny begins to unfold. Thus, everything that you thought mattered, that you wanted/needed/valued may no longer apply as new bigger picture intuitive downloads arrive bit by bit during the Retrograde. There’s a change in the wind setting your course for a new expansive relating, loving, esteem, and Soul Connections! This is Jupiter Libra baby! Understanding Your Rhythm of Opportunity and Self Expansion Indeed, whether you know it or not, you always are moving into a new field of potential! Jupiter Retrograde in Libra is the activation of a clause in your Soul Contract that says: ‘Hang out in the retrograde energy field for 4 months making no major conclusions about the ‘bigger Libra picture of your life!’ Action is taken as is felt necessary in the moment! I like to call this the ‘Ikea’ building of your life!

Part IV

The Archetypal Venus Understanding Venus as an archetype is essential to intuiting what her cycles of retrogression mean for us. Furthermore, we must also look at her mythic origins, and to do this we must go back to her predecessor, the Greek Aphrodite, which gave rise to this Roman Goddess. In the Greek creation myths, Aphrodite was the last offspring of her archetypal parents Gaia (Earth – Divine Mother) and Ouranos (the starry heavens—Divine Father). She was mid-wifed into being when Chronos (Titan and last earthly child of Gaia and Ouranos), at the behest of Gaia, castrated his father Ouranos causing some of his semen to spill into the ocean (lovely image, I know!). Aphrodite rose full grown out of the foam this semen and ocean mixture produced (another nice visual!). She was immediately attended to by Eros (love) and Himeros (desire), and later personified both in the Greek myths. From this much of the myth we can already see that Aphrodite symbolizes what results out of earth and time (Gaia/Chronos) castrating that which is timeless (Ouranos-Heaven) by embodying it into form. We get Aphrodite/Venus, which represents the union of both heaven and earth through a reconciled relationship fostered by both love and desire. Aphrodite thus symbolizes that which is timeless expressing itself through the beauty of form and Time in a harmonious way. In a sense, she symbolizes the value found for a Soul in a human journey. Furthermore, Aphrodite/Venus represents the meeting of the sacred and profane, as well as the spiritual with the sexual and sensual/physical world. Venus shows us we must honor ourselves as being in relationship to not only both heaven and earth, but with each other as well, via love and desire for our own completeness in this life. What motivates us to want to be in relationship with each other most, if not a desire for our own awakening into value for ourselves through love? It is therefore through Venus that we discover the archetype of ‘relationship’ itself. And though relationships are within the domain of Venus, we must not forget that we are living in a patriarchal time that does not make room for Goddesses, and our Judeo-Christian culture has stripped away the earthy nature of Venus as a component of experiencing the Divine through an authentic embodiment of our sensuality/sexuality. And without this Goddess integrated holistically into our psyches, our models of relationship are in dire need of deeper investigation… If you study the Greek myths of Aphrodite, you will begin to discover that, as the Goddess of love, she was not interested in loving others through a victim or savior mentality. She wasn’t interested in mothering or rescuing anyone, rather she was most desirous of partners who

13

allowed her to experience her own pleasure and beauty through them. (As opposed to a lunar relationship that seeks fusion of identity with another in a maternal way.) Yet, like the Moon, Venus is related to the feminine principle of life (anima) but they are very different urges within your psyche. Where the Moon archetype seeks emotional security and a sense of safety, Venus seeks the affirmation of having her reflection mirrored back to her by another--through relationships. Relationships are the means of self-discovery for Venus--in terms of her essential worth. So, there is a narcissistic element to our beloved Venus; after all, she was a vain Goddess, full of selfishness and self-indulgence. Aphrodite/Venus was also a competitive and jealous of other Goddesses and mortal women. In one mythological example, Psyche (a mortal) possesses such beauty that others compare her to Aphrodite; something Aphrodite can’t tolerate, which leads to Aphrodite's plotting Psyche’s end! This competitive killer instinct speaks to the darker aspects of this archetype, which manifest when it is blocked and are quite noticeable in our current culture ethos. If we can’t affirm ourselves and live congruent to an internalized sense of our true value, we are more prone to maneuvering in unethical, externalized, and immoral ways to attain more surface levels of affirmation; while clinging to surface values. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but what do we do when the eyes of our beholder do not see our beauty? What if our own eyes do not see our beauty? How do we affirm ourselves? How do we define what beauty is? How do we know what our authentic values are and therefrom our needs? Beauty is itself an archetype, and is often found in what we value the most in life. Yet, Venus doesn’t necessarily operate in alignment to a social or religious ethic in terms of values and beauty, her ethics and aesthetic can only be truly grasped when one has found the lover within. Venus acts as a vessel for our life force that translates the raw power of our spirit into a fundamental life affirming value set that guides how we love others, aspects of life, and ourselves. Still, I have met many people who seem to align themselves with a false Venus, one that is not intrinsically connected to their authentic values, but is, instead, a religious and socio-culturally conditioned and adopted response to life masquerading as values. In that regard, we live in a cultural ethos bereft of an authentic feminine Goddess energy. Most notably, we have lost touch with Venus, this beautiful Goddess of self-affirmation through sensuality, embodiment, relationships, and pleasure. How many people do you know that can really articulate and own what turns them on? Can you? Why not? Venus is the archetypal force that urges us to discover and identify what we value and give form to that through personal choices, thus laying the foundation of our authenticity. Our choices in love and beauty are often the real evidence of what we value most and least in life--values are what we live, not necessarily what profess to believe.

So, as we move into the activation of this Venus cycle I’d like you to ask: do you value yourself? Does it show in your choices every day? What do your choices reflect about what you really value though you may profess to value something else? With these questions, and some of archetypal principles outlined, we are now moving toward the themes of this Venus retrograde, and the profound questions that we should be asking ourselves during this time. Venus Retrograde and Your Soul Contract: Venus retrogrades do not occur with the same regularity of Mercury (a process I have greatly written about and created numerous audio series for (see my website for more info). In fact, Venus goes retrograde about every 564 days – which is about every year and a half, and then stays retrograde for approximately forty days, whereas Mercury stays retrograde for only twenty-one days and does so three times a year. What this means in terms of experiencing the Venus retrograde cycle is that we often feel it more intensely than other retrogrades, as its retrograde energy in less familiar to the usual collective and personal psychic rhythm we experience with other planetary archetypal cycles. That said, on January 30th, 2017 Venus began to set up its ‘retrograde zone’ at 27 degrees Pisces and then on March 4th, 2017 Venus appeared to stand still in the sky at 13 degrees Aries as the Evening Star. She then began to move backwards in the beginning her traversal of 13 degrees Aries to 27 degrees Pisces. First take a moment and think about what was going on in your life since January 30th that is relative to the archetypal energy of Venus that I’ve already mentioned. What issues surfaced that dealt with love/relationships, affirmation, money, emotional resources, values, sexuality, and expression of your creativity? More specific questions will come into view as we progress through this series relative to the Venus Retrograde activation of Aries/Pisces themes. For now, here’s a recap of the full stats of this Venus Retrograde.

To Begin:

-Venus Retrograde cycles activate something called the ‘Golden Section’ (Quintile) that connects each Venus Retrograde to a cycle of growth and its themes from 8 years ago. Look back at what was happening in your life 8 years ago and how that relates to now! Are you being called to evolve and perhaps ‘finish’ something in the Aries/Pisces themes? -All Cycles are connected in a Continuum – this particular Venus Retrograde is very connected to the current Jupiter and Uranus cycle

Cycles of Special Mention:

- Jupiter is Retrograde in Libra - Uranus is in Aries, Pluto is in Capricorn - The next Mercury Retrograde is in Taurus/Aries April 9th – May 3rd

Here’s the set-up leading to the mid-point on March 25th, 2017: - Life will direct you to take a dive into the unconscious half of yourself to become aware of new emerging values and needs This audio series is to serve that diving deep via the themes I’m going to address and coach you through. Mid-point occurs when Venus aligns to the Sun in the sky (conjuncts) and symbolizes a union with the core evolving mystery and Source of all Life. This is a Venusian revelation of the core of our purpose in relationship to the Aries/Pisces Archetypes. With this new awakening, Venus then emerges as the morning star, the newly awakened radiant Self. As the whole planet experiences the retrograde, I feel that this is also a time of global review of Venus’ themes. One can already see many issues of this Retro being explored! Personally, this means that you should be attentive to the Venus’ themes that are now more obvious to you in your life, as they will reach a crescendo by March 25th, 2017 when Venus then emerges from its alignment with the Sun to become the ‘morning star’ again.

-Requires a reorganization of your values in the Aries/Pisces area of your life -Reorganization first requires dis-organization/re-integration requires dis-integration

-The more challenges and drama you experience during this Venus Retrograde process (including set-up and integration phases) the more you are being shown how disconnected your choices have been from your core Aries/Pisces values. Drama and frustration can be intuitive guidance if you know how to perceive it archetypally and symbolically! -You are under Soul Contract to contemplate your deepest personal Aries/Pisces values – where do they come from? How is your willingness to fight the good fight connected to LOVE? Something will have to be ‘sacrificed’ for you to go to the next level of your potential…which means something of ‘lesser’ value must now be given up in favor of something of ‘greater value’. Throughout this entire series, I’m going to guide you to just what that ‘something’ is… -Retrograde cycles always bring up what’s ‘unconscious’ in you…you could consider this series to be like your own intuitive reading with me -- or me guiding you to clearly ‘read’ yourself!

Whether Authentic or Adapted Values – we tend to build our lives around our

Value Systems. Values are meant to evolve and shift via Cycles of Life and circumstances.

Are you willing to build your Life around an Aries/Pisces Value System?

Questions to ask yourself at this crossroads: What Archetypes lead you into new potential? Do you place a value on Anger and Rebellion? Is Life presenting you with a ‘Test of War’ in some area of your Potential? What does Self-Advocacy mean to you? How do you relate to the Knight/Damsel Archetypal Axis? What’s valuable about your Passion? What’s valuable about
