Evening Sky Inspiration
Venus & Jupiter

Venus and Jupiter have drawn the eyes skyward with gasps of amazement all the way through June and will continue to do so during July. They appeared to almost touch on Tuesday 30th June and Wednesday 1st July 2015. On 18th July the sliver of the moon will join them again and they all will be in close proximity to Regulus, the brightest star in the constellation of Leo (heart of the lion). A spectacular sight to be sure. Then on the 26th October 2015, Venus and Jupiter sidle up close one last time before getting together again in 2016.

Though the full moon is on the 2nd July I have chosen to write about the two lovelies and will do the full moon blog early next week.

The astrological symbolism of the Venus/Jupiter conjunction is as beautiful and inspiring as their presence in the evening sky. Naturally they have a shadow, but they are the two planets that represent good fortune and all that is exquisite in life. I shall first describe the symbolism of their conjoined position in Leo and will then lay out their individual influence in point form.

The 21st degree in Leo stimulates a surge of abundant energy for the expression of benevolence, kindness, generosity, love and understanding. It prompts a desire to overcome personal weakness. It stirs competitiveness to be the best we possibly can, or at the very least to have a good shot at it.

Desire to initiate something of real meaning, something held close to the heart, is overwhelming. But this is not where it ends because this degree in Leo upholds the determination to finish whatever is initiated.  

Talent is brought into sharp focus and with crystal clear understanding we know exactly how to use this talent.

Venus is the goddess of love, she symbolises the way we are in relationship, she inspires talent, draws income and represents the power to attract. She holds the key to the condition of our self-value or the lack thereof. She is loveliness personified. She is a symbol of good fortune.

Jupiter symbolises truth, knowledge and wisdom. It represents our ability to learn and to understand. It is the planet of growth and expansion, of generosity and material abundance – well abundance of everything really. It too is the symbol of good fortune.
