Evening Star

 Interestingly, and not by chance, the Teasdale poem I was inspired to read in 7th grade occured during the Venus Star Leo Cycle (Sept 1975-April 1977).

The Venus Star....each of us born either as a Morning Star, Sun Venus Glare, Evening Star or Venus Retrograde phase.  Where am I born? as an Evening Star of course.

I just realized tonight August 5, 2022, the Teasdale poem speaks to the evening star! so I looked up the star cycle theme (overview), and it was in Leo at the time. 

The cycle started 29 Leo (on Regulus) in September 1975, conjunct natal Mercury, ruler of my North North.

Then in June of 1976, the Solar Glare (Sun Venus conjunct @ the in-between phase) occurred @27 Gemini, on my ascendant...the art class and project initiated shortly thereafter, September 1976 which lands in-between Venus' 2nd and 3rd chakra gate, 22 Virgo - 29 Libra, conjunct my Mars in Libra trine Jupiter again and sextile it's ruler, my natal Leo Mercury. 

(I'm born in 3rd Gate-Solar Plexus Evening Star Gemini cycle)

All these years, I had have attempted to publish my writings, in one form or another.  Unfortunately, the Virgo archetype playing out in my soul, undermined my success repeatedly, especially because I was relying on feedback from others (Libra projection), which led to further inner-hiding and criticism (other astrologers, who either felt threatened by my deep vulnerability or just didn't align with quantum consciousness, who I asked to read my materials), and/or maybe I just didn't have the confidence to put myself out there--definitely a huge part of the delay.

Most people think, "oh Leo is so confident and bold!"  Well yes they are that, and maybe just maybe there signed up to be Leo to overcome some past deficient or deficiency in boldness.  That would be me, with tons of Virgo to integrate and heal from.

The Virgo archetype, what I call the Sacred-Divine Feminine, has been patriarchally undermined for centuries until now.  Now she rises...
