The Nature of Your Desires
The Venus Eclipse
Part 2
by Nancy R. Fenn

Page: 1 2

In Time/Life's Top Hundred People of the Millennium survey, the first woman to appear on the list is Mary Wollstonecraft at #26.

Wollstonecraft was one of the first feminists, publishing her seminal work, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman in 1792. Nightingale has position #41 on the Time/Life Survey and Anthony #83.

Florence Nightingale was a legendary force in nursing and hospital reform at a time when most women didn't pursue professional careers. Susan B. Anthony barnstormed for women's suffrage in America, brazenly casting an "illegal" vote in 1872. Her actions led to ratification of the 19th amendment 50 years later.

Aspects to the Venus eclipse in 1884 were especially positive. Many advances were made by women at this time. In 1860 the first YWCA opened in New York City. In 1869 Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton formed the National Woman's Suffrage Association. In 1871, the first sorority was founded in America. In 1872 Miss Victoria Woodall was the first woman nominated for president of the United States. In 1879 President Hayes signed a bill that permitted woman attorneys to plead cases before the Supreme Court. And in 1879, the US Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of anti-polygamy laws.

The last Venus cycle initiated many changes for women in America. But as you can see, this transit is about much more than women, it's about new ideas being seeded onto the planet.

Here are some things you can do to prepare for this transit consciously:

VENUS RULES WOMEN AND WOMEN'S ISSUES

• Review your feelings about how you're expressing yourself as a woman
• If you're a man, think about the women in your life and what they convey about you
• Let go thoughts of revenge, bitterness and retaliation ... try the power of love instead
• Read some books about the ancient goddesses
• Take on an apprentice -- tell someone younger what you think it means to be a woman
• Push yourself into a new area of your own determining
• Ask a woman you admire how she got that way
• Get your mother to tell you some stories about her childhood and what things were like then
• Read some biographies of famous women
• Write some biographies of famous women

VENUS PRESIDES OVER THE CULTIVATION OF DESIRE

• Cultivate your desire nature ... give yourself better and better mental, emotional, intellectual and spiritual food
• Release feelings that you know what others should want
• Go on a diet from desire ... set yourself free from desire and be satisfied with what you have
• For a delightfully intuitive look at the nature of desire and its force in evolution, try "Botany of Desire" by Michael Pollans
• Rejoice in what you have
• Celebrate beauty and harmony in your life
• Affirm "What I want wants me."
• Look in your checkbook and see what you value ... we value what we are actually willing to spend money on
• Invest in yourself
• Invest in the future
• Invest in someone else's future

There are exciting times ahead. You can prepare to use the energies of the Venus eclipse on June 8, 2004 to the very best advantage.
