Hermetic Astrology Podcast

In this episode we talk about 4 different kinds of Venus magic to be made over the next month! Gary discusses Venus in the 3rd Decan of Aries, Venus in front of the constellation Andromeda, Venus in Taurus and Venus with the fixed star Algol.

Gary delivers the real dope on Mercury's extended stay in Pisces. By changing our viewpoint from the normal flat 1D view of the Zodiac, and going in-depth into the other 3D views available via the Astronomy of Mercury, we can begin to better understand the profound shifts, changes and transformation that are possible during this period.

First Gary shares the basic qualities of Venus, which make up Her magic. Next we talk about Venus' dignities -or favorite zones in the Zodiac where She is most powerful. And finally we discover the magic of Venus' astronomy, and why the current cycle holds abundant potential not seen for hundreds of years!

Gary shares his unique view of this conjunction by showing how the long-running Saturn-Pluto parallel which is culminating in the conjunction of Jan 12 can be seen to be releasing energy similar to the birth of a child after a long difficult labor. He also compares it to planting magical seeds, like Jack and the Beanstalk.
