A-K R: 6.1.21


Astro-Kinetic Reflection: 

Temporally Conditioned Reverberative Thoughts 

Resulting from Astro-Kinetic Contemplation 



A-K R: 6.1.21


Venus has been in the house of Gemini for a time now with both the Sun and Mercury.  This situation places personal femininity in dialogue with cosmic masculinity.  There are two manifestations of this dialogue.  The first is the house of Gemini itself, which is an image of mutual regard.  This house sets a context of communion.  But along with the Sun and Venus is Mercury, the inspiritive communicator.  In our interpretation, the Sun as the Logos is the illuminator of the immanent from a transcendent place and a dawn of masculine sensibility on a feminine intimate nurturing.  Tomorrow Venus moves into Cancer, away from mutual regard and into a space of creative emotion.  Venus will occupy this house with Mars, the personal masculine as they mutually influence one another.

Today is also the feast of Blessed Hildegard Burjan.  Her life was dedicated to fighting for women’s rights and the rights of all workers and their families. This ultimately leads her to her venue for such action, the Austrian Parliament, a masculine setting.  There she sculpted and fought for laws and applications of these rights. She operated according to the masculine legal structure in order to sculpt laws.  She fought to extend the legal rights of expectant and nursing mothers, require equal wages for men and women, afford social protection for the working class, as well as laws that provide for the social and spiritual care for poor families. 

If we take Mercury as Elijah and interpret it as an informative beatitude concerning justice, Venus’ becomes Sarah, the archetype of a matriarch.  The matriarchal archetype is transitioning from illumination to action concerning such justice.  There is a motion from a relationship that is informing and investing, to a new situation of creative application (Cancer). There she relates to Mars, who we interpret as Moses, the archetype of law and external action.  Mars is the personal masculine, who codifies this creativity toward practical application.  

Over the next few days, the contemplative may want to notice their own personal regard for femininity, its place, role, and regard in society.  Our public social structures are usually geared toward a masculine bias, but Blessed Hildegard shows us that we can use those structures to accept and embrace the feminine.  The contemplative may want to take today and the next few weeks as Venus occupies the House of Cancer to consider how they too can take the feminine perspective and practically and rigorously apply it where it was not before.  This is the “reordering” Mars demands by both war and plowing of fields and that Moses demands by disciplined adherence to the Law.  Plowing, war, and litigious discipline are experienced as tumultuous but have a trajectory for improvement and order.  How in our lives, big or small, may we need to use masculine structures to reorder toward feminine sensibilities and how can we practically get this done?
