The transit of Venus across the Sun only happens once a lifetime. Watch it online or outside (with proper precautions against blindness!) In 7 hours! (or less, or you're too late. Nah, Nah!) Here's a cool site about it. It has great astrological significance too. It's LOVE baby! This is the First Love Day of the new millennium. Now the fun starts...
Cool stuff man, thanks for the link. Here's an excerpt from an article about the astrological significance of this event: http://www.experiencefestival.com/i/topic/articles/article/4326 "When the Sun and Moon align in this manner we have a lunar or solar Eclipse. However, with Venus and the Sun the rarity and strength of this upcoming Eclipse will be simply incredible and will touch directly the house and affairs regulated by mercury and Gemini. The rarity of Venus moving in front of the sun can be illustrated by the fact that the last time this happened was in 1882. Because it will be in retrograde motion, the effects may be more subdued, introverted, latent, and yet extremely powerful. With the mixture of Venus the sign of peace and wealth, and the Sun the sign of Love and children, it will be a chance for mankind to experience these two beautiful energies and come to grips with some of its more negative involvements. The planet Venus will be close to the earth and at the same time in a prominent position in front of the sun. It is as if she is "naked," exposed to us, as we who are living in this era have never seen her before. Therefore combined with the Will of the Sun, she is going to expose to humanity some possibilities of grace and love that have been in the past denied. She will expose secrets of life, as the sun is the giver of life. She will expose to all, the possibilities of peace and harmony. Whether or not we take her up on this is another matter, however it will cause all humanity to reflect upon these higher energies. This transit is about the planet of love, reflecting the forces of life, exposing herself to the entire world. It is quite possible there will be some deep spiritual connections made. " Just in time for Bonnaroo!
Will it cause mecury to become retograde??? and bad for people who have it in retorgrade??? I heard that most geminis are having a rotten year, and something good will happen soon enought??? what are the true effects???
Just curious where you read that Geminis are having a rotten year, coz it's true of the Geminis I know, so I was interested. Not to change the subject, though, coz the Venus crossing is amazing too, and I look forward to its effects. Should be fascinating, even if subdued. This old world needs some positive effects right now.
actually, this event will happen again in 2012.....the transit across the sun happens in pairs, and then disappears until 2117
As you can see this event is way more interesting from an Astrological point of view. Scientists only care about the stats. "Oh, it's been so many years, it's so many miles away from the earth & gee, ain't it neat that we got to use our telescopes again..." Whereas we astrologers say stuff like: "she is going to expose to humanity some possibilities of grace and love that have been in the past denied. She will expose secrets of life, as the sun is the giver of life. She will expose to all, the possibilities of peace and harmony. Whether or not we take her up on this is another matter, however it will cause all humanity to reflect upon these higher energies" Now which interpretation of this event GIVES YOUR LIFE more meaning?
I had been looking forward to this for a month and I f***kin' missed it anyway. I was on the greyhound somewhere between richmond Indiana and Annapolis Maryland.
