Venus Transit: Opening the doorway to the Heart of Venus

By Deborah Knighton Tallarico

Here we stand at the doorway of yet another powerful passage on earth, the Venus Passage of June 8th, 2004, that will open the Doorway of the Heart of Venus for the next eight years. Even though this passage occurs, usually in pairs, every 120 years, never before has this occurred at such a powerful time on earth, when human consciousness is accelerating and awakening at such a rapid pace.

As Venus passes directly between the Earth and the Sun, the Sun will blaze a powerful imprint of Venus’s loving and seductive energies on Humanities awakening Soul. As the Sun Illuminates Her Beauty and Love, She is sure to stimulate and awaken our hearts to new levels of Love, Passion, Devotion and Intimacy, melting down the walls of separation that keep us from the experience of our inherent Oneness with each other and ALL-THAT-IS.

This nearly 7 hour transmission of the Creative, Yang Radiating Heart Rays of the blazing Golden Sun with the more Receptive, Yin, Alluring and Magnetic Heart Energy of Venus is sure to penetrate and transform us forever, if our hearts are open to receive the blessings of the initiation. This is surely a new doorway opening into the Ecstatic Dance of the Masculine and Feminine that will give birth to the Divine Child, the Christ Consciousness on Earth.

According to the Mayans it is also the return of Quetzalcoatl, the winged serpent, who winds up the Mystical Tree of Life, awakening the kundalini of the Earth and our sleeping bodies, transforming our very Soul. It is He who flung himself into the sacred fires of alchemical transformation, over his guilt of his incestuous bond with his sister, to become none other than Venus in the Sky.

So is it that we need to take any shame, guilt, separation and wounds of our hearts and throw them into the symbolic sacred fire, for the burning rays of the Sun to transform and transmute them into the fountain of Love of the Radiant Goddess giving birth to the Divine Sun Child, the Christ Consciousness on Earth.

What on Earth are we to do? How are we to prepare and open ourselves to receive this transmission and these powerful blessings and energies? It is important to remember that this first passage of Venus, on June 8th, 2004 is an “initiation”, an opening of the doorway into an 8 year period of heart cleansing, purification, release, reconciliation, healing, transformation and awakening into Oneness.

The journey through this passageway may be rough and painful at times as we heal what separates us, as we dismantle the walls, and remove the armor. So remember as the Hopi Elders say, “Keep your eyes open and your head above waters”.

During the time period, between May 17th and June 29th, 2004, as Venus is “retrograde”, or appearing to move backwards from Earth’s vantage point, it is important to begin a reflective internal process to prepare and cleanse your heart center. (There will be 5 retrograde periods during the 8 year Doorway of Venus.)

Penetrate into the meaning of Love in your life.

What does True Love feel like?

Is your heart compassionate and passionate?

If so, what is it passionate and compassionate about?

What does it LOVE? Is it open?

Where is it closed?

Does it feel devotion?

If so, for what?

Look at your relationships, and all your relations, past and present, see what is stuck or repressed, allow your heart to speak to you.

What is it feeling? What is it repressing or suppressing?

What keeps it separate or closed off from others and love?

What judgments, grudges, resentments or hurts does it still harbor?

What is it longing to express and communicate?

What does it wish to receive?

What does it long to give?

What places are wounded?

What places are blocked or shut off?

What walls have been built for protection?

What armor has grown rusty and old?

What does this armor protect?

What does our heart most deeply desire and long for?

What would Oneness feel like?

Begin a dialogue. Take time to explore, nurture and heal the wounds of your heart, and to cleanse and purify your heart-space. You will also have the assistance of Pluto opposite Venus during this time period, from May 2ne through July 25th . Pluto is the “great transformer” “the roter-rooter” of the Universe, who brings to the surface all that needs to be transformed and purified.

Since it is opposite Venus, it will be transforming your relationships, your yin receptive heart space, your passion and devotion, and your issues around giving and receiving love. Allow this process to unfold, seek counsel and healing, write in your journal, pay attention to your dreams, sing songs from your heart, dance and express your deepest feelings, allow yourself to cry, grieve and release.

Allow both the joy and the pain. Honor the Death and letting go, Celebrate the New Birth and Life. Below is a Heart Meditation intended to help you in this healing process.

~ Heart Cleansing Waterfall Meditation ~

Before you close your eyes, say a sacred intention out loud of what you hope to release from your heart chakra in this meditation. Then close your eyes and follow your breath until you feel calm and relaxed inside.

Call forth any Spirit Guides to assist you. Christ, Archangel Raphael or Divine Mother Isis are helpful to invoke for healing. Mother Mary, Quan Yin or Tara for compassion and Mercy. You can even play peaceful or heart-centered music. Then imagine yourself standing under a warm waterfall in a very safe place with your spirit guides around you, your arms outstretched so that your heart receives the cleansing energies of the sacred waters. The Sun is Golden and Glowing around you, illuminating your heart-space.

Imagine the Golden Light from the Sun and the Universal Source coming down through your outstretched arms and into your heart, filling it with golden energy. Feel the Golden energies of the Sun radiating in your heart, burning away and purifying anything that needs to be cleansed. Imagine the water sparkling different colors of the rainbow, or the color that you most need for healing.

Imagine this colored water washing away any darkness, old feelings and wounds, whatever it is that you intend to release in this moment. Imagine the water slowly clearing away any left-over emotional residue. Feel the scars and the walls slowly melting away. Allow yourself to release any sounds or cries, expressing your feelings in anyway you need.

Stay here as long as you need to until you feel ready to stop for now, knowing that you can come back to this sacred waterfall again. Feel your heart tingle as it is purified and cleansed. Feel your heart cells awaken. Feel your heart open more than it has in a long time. See if your spirit guides have any messages or guidance for you to hear in this moment.

Open and receive their messages. When you are ready to leave the waterfall, thank it and your guides for all the blessings, release and cleansing that you have just experienced. When you return touch your hands to the earth and imagine healing, nurturing emerald green earth energy coming up from the depths of the earth into your heart and filling it with this emerald green energy. Feel yourself grounded in the loving energies of the Earth Mother.

Dance, draw, sing or write about your experience, expressing in any way you feel moved. Smudge yourself if you feel you need that. Take a bath, or light a candle symbolic for the light of your heart. You may want to place a healing stone over your heart, like rose quartz, green aventurine, kunzite, pink tourmaline, rhodonite, pink calcite, danburite, dioptase, emerald or ruby. You can also make gem infused healing water by putting a cleansed stone in a pitcher of water, with a clear intention, in the Sun or Moon light and then drinking this over a period of time.

There are also flower essences that can help such as: bleeding heart, yerba santa, holly, borage, mariposa lily, pink yarrow, forget-me-not, gentian and many others depending on your specific needs. Seek counsel to find what is best for you at this sacred time. The most important thing you can do to prepare yourself for this initiation is to cleanse and purify your heart so that it can be an open, yet strong, sacred vessel, like the chalice of the Holy Grail, to receive the Divine imprinting of the Venus Transit.

June 1st-2nd: At the Full Moon of Sagittarius, when Pluto will be opposing Venus for the 2nd time, or the night before on June 1st as the waxing moon’s energies are most potent, would be a very powerful time to do this meditation as well. With Pluto opposite Venus allow Pluto to deeply cleanse your heart space so that Venus can feel free to love and be loved. At the Full Moon is a good time to focus on the balancing of the feminine and masculine energies, the moon and sun, yin and yang energies within, and receive any messages the full moon may have for you.

It is also a powerful time to give thanks and have gratitude for all the blessings in your life and to ask from your heart for what you most deeply desire for your Life, your Relationships, for the Earth and Humanity at this time. Sunday,

June 6th:

As we get closer to the Venus passage and the Oneness Celebration, on Sunday, June 6th, according to Carl Johan Calleman, is a significant turning point in the Mayan Calendar, and the Star Glyph energies of AHAU. AHAU, embodies the energies of the Great Central Sun and Christ Consciousness, the I AM presence, Solar Mastery, Union, Wholeness and Unconditional Love. Ask yourself this day, what brings you passion, bliss and joy?

What illumines your heart? Feel the illumination of Unconditional Love. Do a meditation, invocation or ceremony to help you experience Divine Love and the full manifestation of your Divinity. Feel your God-Goddess Self illumined and glowing from within.

See the Divine in the eyes of others and in nature all around you. Focus on, repeat, chant and mediate on the phrases: I AM, THAT I AM. I AM, THAT I AM, I AM, THAT I AM.

I AM the OPEN DOOR of which the DIVINE LIGIHT SHINES THROUGH.

 I AM the OPEN DOOR of which the DIVINE LIGHT SHINES THROUGH.

 I AM the OPEN DOOR of which the DIVINE LIGHT SHINES THROUGH.

Allow yourself to receive the Divine Light of the Central Golden Sun. This day I recommend a ceremony/meditation at 12 noon, when the Sun is at His peak. Clear and open yourself to receive the Golden Light of the Sun. Lift your arms and feel His Golden Rays pouring down your arms, into your heart and down into the earth. Imagine His Golden Rays pouring down and entering your crown chakra at the very top of your head, and coming down and filling each chakra one by one until it also pours into the earth bringing her these same illumining energies.

Allow yourself to bathe and dance in the energies of the Sun and the Golden Spiritual Energies. Imagine a Golden Sun in the Center of Your Heart, beaming and radiating at full velocity. Make sure you ground these energies into your feet, your body and into the earth. Imagine a Golden Chord or Chamber from above your head into the earth, anchoring these energies and making you a strong vessel to receive.

Monday, June 7th

On this day are the star glyph energies of IMIX, ee’meesh. These are the energies of the ancient, primal and primordial Mother, the Deep Dark Source of Life, the Divine Nourishment and nurturance of the Mother. This day I suggest you go to a body of water, or deep into a cave in the earth, to a place where you can experience the dark womb of the Mother and the Source of all Life from which we’ve ALL come. It may be good to do just before sun-set or as it’s getting dark.

Find a sacred space, clear yourself, become quiet and still, and open to receive her energies. Invoke the Primordial Mother. Ask Her to envelope you and nourish you. Imagine Her attending to all of your needs, fulfilling you. Allow her to speak to you with messages from Her Depths. Be still and listen, wait, receive, and give thanks.

Ask Her to help you feel safe to trust and open your heart to receive the powerful energies of the Venus Passage about to shine upon your heart. When you are ready allow Her to move through you in dance, movement and rhythm. Allow Her to speak through you in sound, tone and song. Allow her to create through your hands with the earth that is before you. Allow her to breathe through you as you become One with Her Holy Womb. June 6th and June 7th will prepare you to receive the energies of the Venus transit and the star energies of IK, eek’.

Evening of June 7th - June 8th

 Since the Venus Passage is during the late dark hours of the night and early morning for most of us in the United States, I suggest that you either do a night long solitary, group or relationship receptive meditation if you chose to stay awake, or that you do a meditation, invocation and dream incubation before going to sleep. The important thing to remember at this particular time is to be open to receive the imprinting of these sacred energies. You may want to create a special Venus Altar and sacred space near your bed and light a sacred candle that you let burn all night or light sacred heart/love incense or essential oils.

Breathe through your heart as you speak, chant or sing this invocation: I call to the Spirit Keepers of the Four Sacred Directions East, South, West and North… And to the Spirits of the Four Sacred Elements Air, Fire, Water and Earth… I call to Mother Earth and Great Spirit-Father Sky… To the Grandmothers and Grandfathers of this Sacred Land…. I call to Venus as the Morning Star…..and to Venus as the Evening Star… I call to the Power of the Great Central Sun…

To burn away and transform everything that creates separation in my heart once and for all that I may fully receive the Blessings of Love and Oneness of this sacred initiation. I call to the Ancient Primordial Mother from whose womb I have born into this life… that my body and soul may surrender and trust with full abandon… I call to Quetzalcoatl and Christ to be with me this sacred Night…. To Awaken My Sacred Heart to the Divine Energy of Compassion for all beings… Help me embody this Divine Compassion in every cell of my being at each and every moment of my life.

Bring me the courage and strength to carry this compassion to all my relations, to the earth and the whole of Humanity. Clear, Purify and Open my heart to receive the imprinting of the Sacred Holy Cross of Integration, Love, Truth and Compassion…. Help me balance yin and yang, masculine and feminine, rational, logical mind with creative, intuitive mind, light and dark, Divine and Human.

Help me balance the polarities within so that all separations, within and without, are healed and brought into Wholeness, with the Love of the Sacred Heart as the Center. At this sacred Venus Passage, I receive the Love, Beauty, Abundance and Magnetic Radiance of the Goddess of Love in all Her Splendor… I welcome Quetzalcoatl and Christ Consciousness home to the deepest Recesses of my Heart that I may experience my connection with the Mystic Tree of Life, and the One Heart and One Love of the Universe, God/Goddess All-That-Is. May you teach me how to Love in the Highest, most Passionate, Devoted and Holy Way. Come to me now in these darkest hours of night and of life on earth, enter my dream-time.

Open the Doorway to My Heart that I may receive the purest blessings and transmissions of this Passage of Venus into the Chalice of my Heart, May my Heart over-flow over with Divine Love and Compassion for all. May we join together as One Heart and One Love now and forever more. May Peace, Love, Light, Compassion, Higher Truth, Oneness and Unity Prevail On Earth For the Highest Good Of ALL.

So Be it and So it Is!!!

Breathe deeply and allow the energies of this invocation to fill and surround your entire being. I then suggest you lay down in bed with your arms outstretched so your body forms a cross, with your heart as the center. Then allow your Self to just surrender, let go, trust and RECEIVE!!!! Sunrise Ceremony,

June 8th

If you can, we recommend that you awaken at sunrise on June 8th to greet the first rising Sun of this New Doorway of Venus that has opened in the heart of humanity and take time to write down any experiences or dreams from the night. From 11AM-11:15AM Greenwich Mean Time will be the Global Meditation. (See times below) Either alone, with your partner/beloved, your family, your friends or your community in sacred circle, set a sacred space and go into a meditative state to attune your energies to all the other beings all over the world who are also tuning in.

Then allow yourself to be moved by the energies to chant, drum, dance, pray and sing, whatever moves you to celebrate this sacred moment and the Oneness of ALL.

In the Mayan calendar this day holds the energies of IK, eek’. IK embodies the energies of Spirit, the wind, Divine breath,

Truth and the integration of polarities. During your meditation and ceremony take time to focus on the integration of polarities, actually imagine and visualize them coming into balance within you. Visualize the masculine (yang) and feminine (yin) energies merging and coming together within you in Divine Marriage, and then imagine this Union within our human family, men and women coming together, East and West, as well as Divine and Human, Light and Dark, left brain, rational, logical mind with right brain, creative and intuitive mind.

Pray, Imagine, Visualize UNITY and ONENESS within, with Great Spirit, God/dess All-That- Is and with all our brothers and sisters on the earth. Imagine and visualize the walls that separate us from each other dismantled, and the armor coming off so that we can co-create together a New World of Balance, Harmony, Peace, Unity and Divine Oneness.

Put all the energy, love, devotion and power you feel into these intentions and new visions. When Venus goes direct on June 29th all the internal changes in your heart center will begin to take form in your outer life. It will be time to put into “action” those new visions and intentions your heart feels most passionate and compassionate about. Remember this first Venus Passage, of June 8th, 2004, is a powerful “initiation” into much larger Passageway or Doorway, lasting for the next 8 years; preparing and transforming us, healing and awakening our hearts, dismantling the walls that separate us and cleansing away all that keeps us from Oneness.

This preparation is what is needed to guide us into the Golden Age of Enlightenment, where the Consciousness of Oneness will permeate the Living Hearts of all Beings on Earth; from which through the Divine Union of Masculine and Feminine will be born the Divine Child, the Christ Consciousness in each of our hearts.

This is the Higher Vision and there is much work to be done. This first Venus Passage will hold the imprinting that we will carry with us as we work through and transform all separation and merge into Oneness with the Divine. So may this powerful passage bring to your heart the Lovely Energies of the Goddess of Love Herself. May it awaken the “blueprint” of this larger vision and Divine Plan for the healing of Humanity.

May it empower and awaken your Love, Compassion, Passion and Devotion to move forth in your life as a Spiritual Warrior ; as a True Agent of Change in this World, carrying the Sword of Compassionate Truth and the Chalice of Divine Love. Remember you are not alone! Please join us in Remembrance and Celebration of our ONENESS.
