Guest guest Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 Dear Mark and other List Astrologers: I have not seen much from a sidereal perspective on the Transit of Venus June 8. Since Venus Rx in Taurus is conjunct the Taurus Sun and between the Earth and the Sun, isn't this similar to a new moon eclipse? If so, are we to expect the " shadow " of Venus to predominate? The last time this event occurred was 1882, the next time 2012 since apparently the Venus transit across the Sun is rare, but is there more to it than that the conjunction is combust in Jytoish?

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 Dear Jana & All: This is an interesting Transit & question. When you calculate a Jyotish chart for this day, June 8th.... Venus & the Sun are only 1 degree apart! So, major Venus combustion, means Venus is indeed extremely close to the Sun. And... Retrograde, means it's as if going backwards from the point of view of the Earth...so Venus...is literally.... going inbetween the Earth and the Sun..... If it was Combust but going direct, then, Venus would be on the other side of the Sun in it's orbit around the Sun. I've seen pictures of this Venus/Sun conjunction....where they visulaize Venus, literally, in front of the Sun, which is supposed to be unique and different from the normal Retrograde & combust transits of Venus which happen fairly often. I think the uniquenss of this transit, is in the literal, angle of Venus' combustion. And yes, this is very similar to the New Moon, of the Moon, which is the period of combustion between the Moon & Sun. When the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun, it represents the natural resting period of the Moon's cycles. So, perhaps, the nature of combustion of other planets is similar to this. In the case of Venus, we can expect that the natural significations or attributes of Venus will be eclipsed by the Sun. Think of Venus as a bright candle, which radiates out, the importance of the heart, feelings and expressive love. Well, during this combustion, that, Venus candle, will be surrounded by a huge ball of Sun light which will completely wash out Venus' smaller rays. So, expect a lack of Venus power during this time. Though this is exactly the same situation with the Moon when it is a New Moon. The Moon may be resting, but it's natural attributes too are the least strong during this time. Finally, let's look and see if we can experience personally, the qualities and realities of this transit. Look and see how you 'feel' as this transit comes,...and then goes. Our subjective experiences are a wonderful tool, to be able to verify the validity of the rules and principles of Jyotish... take care, Janna...

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 Mark, Interesting post! But I hope you'll post it again on June 7, because there's still more than two weeks between now and June 8. Your post may get buried under an avalance of e-mails and other posts between now and then.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 Thank you Mark, a very clear explanation as usual. Since I'm not an astronomer, it's often hard to visualize the planets behind, in front of, in between Earth and the Luminaries, , etc. And it makes sense that Venus' natural attributes will be " eclipsed " on June 8. I wonder how this will play out, perhaps a global heart contraction or more inner nurturing? I plan to observe it inwardly, Here's a really spectacular view of stars, galaxies, nebulas, etc. that I think every star person will like to see: http://wires.news.com.au/special/mm/030811-hubble.htm Janna http://seven_directions.tripod.com/ , " Mark Kincaid " <m.kincaid@m...> wrote: > Dear Jana & All: > > This is an interesting Transit & question. > > When you calculate a Jyotish chart for this day, June 8th.... > > Venus & the Sun are only 1 degree apart! > > So, major Venus combustion, means Venus is indeed extremely > close to the Sun. > > And... > Retrograde, means it's as if going backwards from the point of > view of the Earth...so Venus...is literally.... > > going inbetween the Earth and the Sun..... > > If it was Combust but going direct, then, Venus would be on the > other side of the Sun in it's orbit around the Sun. > > I've seen pictures of this Venus/Sun conjunction....where they > visulaize Venus, literally, in front of the Sun, which is supposed to > be unique and different from the normal Retrograde & combust > transits of Venus which happen fairly often. > > I think the uniquenss of this transit, is in the literal, angle of > Venus' combustion. > > And yes, this is very similar to the New Moon, of the Moon, which > is the period of combustion between the Moon & Sun. > > When the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun, it represents > the natural resting period of the Moon's cycles. > > So, perhaps, the nature of combustion of other planets is similar > to this. > > In the case of Venus, we can expect that the natural > significations or attributes of Venus will be eclipsed by the Sun. > > Think of Venus as a bright candle, which radiates out, the > importance of the heart, feelings and expressive love. > > Well, during this combustion, that, Venus candle, will be > surrounded by a huge ball of Sun light which will completely > wash out Venus' smaller rays. > > So, expect a lack of Venus power during this time. > > Though this is exactly the same situation with the Moon when it > is a New Moon. > > The Moon may be resting, but it's natural attributes too are the > least strong during this time. > > Finally, let's look and see if we can experience personally, the > qualities and realities of this transit. > > Look and see how you 'feel' as this transit comes,...and then > goes. > > Our subjective experiences are a wonderful tool, to be able to > verify the validity of the rules and principles of Jyotish... > > take care, > > Janna... > > > Mark Kincaid > In , " Janna Lynn " > <jnanalynn> wrote: > > Dear Mark and other List Astrologers: > > > > I have not seen much from a sidereal perspective on the > Transit of Venus > > June 8.
