#venus magic

[elminx]

Heya there!

This is less venus-post and more of a current retrograde question, but what outcomes/caveats do you see in doing venus magic right at the cusp of its retrograde? Or even just after it begins? Is it more likely to stall outcomes/work done (let's say you're trying to usher in smth like love, creativity or financial opportunities) or just completely redirect the magic?

Of course, I'd imagine it would depend on the work being done and correspondences used, and under what transits, but I'm curious if fear could hold one back more than current transits would, especially if its relation to bringing things in versus mitigating the effects of the retrograde.

Hope this makes sense and I always appreciate how much work you put into your posts!

I think that the secret to working planetary magic is almost always to work with the current energies rather than against them.

This still holds a lot of leeway for doing any type of magic so nothing is off the table. But you would be well advised to think outside the box.

I think that you can cast any spell you want up until the moment of her retrograde. So if you wanna do a straightforward love or money spell for the love of the planets, do it now. After that, you will find that the spell just acts differently. Despite your best efforts, the results will not unfold straightforwardly.

This may or may not be a problem for you. Sometimes that works in your favor, for sure.

But, if someone wanted money (for example) and they were aware that they have hangups keeping them from doing the things needed to make such money, a well-framed spell around this would almost certainly be enhanced by the retrograde.

Venus is on a journey backward, that's the flow that you want to work with when casting magic during her retrograde

Realistic Diary of Connecting with Venus- Day 3

Today is the night before something important, so I tried something new✨. I've asked Venus for assistance through offerings before but not since I started my more formal journey.

Today I:

- lit a sweet candle (this is really becoming her candle lol)

- cleaner my desk

- offered her rose water

- did my tarot reading for guidance

- dipped a pink bracelet I have in rose water and wrote a note with a sigil, asking for assistance tomorrow!

Tomorrow I have something pertaining to public image, so I'm excited to use a little glamor magic to help me out. Fun day today!!

Venus in Exaltation

Coming up, Venus in Pisces, and I need a break from writing about Saturn...respectfully. This is one of my favorite things about each year! I will be posting the elected chart for this transit on my Patreon, and since I am transitioning to Ko-fi I may post it there as well...I'm not sure yet, but you can dowload full & detailed instruction here. In this post:

Delineation & Personal House Theme

Planetary Magical Instruction

On January 26th until February 20th Venus will be in Dreamy Pisces.

This is a transit we have all been needing and deserve! Especially after the Venus-Pluto conj kicked off the Gregorian year.

As you can guess, I have mixed feelings about the amplified narrative of what it means for a planet to be exalted, particularly in nativity, but it doesn't change the fact this is very auspicious.

You can reflect back on these times in your life to see how the world was happening for you:

Apr 6th 2022

Feb 26th 2021

Jan 14th 2020

and so on...

Venus will be in conj with Saturn as they make their way to and with their separation you will feel a release on the constrictions that have been around desire, finally skirting off before Saturn enters Pisces.

You see, I can't get away from Daddy Saturn--you should see my chart...

Pisces sees the world as a beautiful array of Technicolor flowing beyond horizons, the lens is different here than the rigidification we have been balancing these last months.

I imagine it to be how we assume Honey Bees see flowers.

When Venus enters they bring heightened benevolence & forgiveness.

The balance to this is forlorn & insatiable, not being able to sort out what it is your taste buds are craving or sensing; that it is just out of reach in this vast ocean. Remember, I said it can't be all good!

There are no borders or boundaries here, a perplexing Utopia. We want to believe that the world really is this affectionate and magical. Pisces becomes more tricky as we get older, I feel--not mercurially so, but in that this is where Memory & Dream lives.

When Venus is here it can be the feeling of your first love before you knew heartache. OR The sensation of peeling the plastic from new electronics. Venus is excessively devoted and compassionate in Pisces. Giving to the extent of sacrifice. During this time there is a deeper appreciation toward the unusual aspects of the world--for this is the reason disheveled hair can look poetic, or when a near-death occurrence presents itself Venus in Pisces will say, "the sparkle on the river, was so beautiful through"...I might live with a Venus in Pisces, so true story.

quip: The trailer for 1993's, Benny & Joon was playing in theaters during Venus in Pisces...

We want and may feel if lucky enough, the deep-seated consent of unconditional love and desire.

A feeling that can't be explained. You know the one, that if we have had it we'll search the planet to find it again.

Starry eyes

The epitome of Romanticism, pulling you in with the siren's song. I think that the world has felt lost in certain aspects, and just for a time we get to feel & can lean into the pleasure of swimming in warm waters.

Some say idealistic, I beg to differ in the manifestation, but maybe Romantic Idealism. I think of the Sense of Beauty itself and when that emotional individualism is the height of value. Even within this conceptually, idealism is the opposite of materialism, and Venus themself is the aesthetic of material creation. Consider Plato to Kant's dialogue of Beauty.

When thumbing through philosophers, history, and media as I attempt to delineate my thought, on what I mentioned can't be described, so many the examples popping into my head have Venus in Scorpio with Moon in Pisces--I find this very curious, since, you know, beauty is subjective and all. So who makes the list? Jesus, Epstein, and the Queen Mum herself--take that for what you will, I suppose.

No matter

Let yourself fall in love, recapture childhood wonder, remember what compassion can feel like -- remind yourself that divine hope still exists in the world & that it can take shape to fly in artistic resonance.

My advice on the Downside of this Dream--if your desire is to capture the fireflies of the evening star; make sure they're not a moorage before you drink sand. Some things are too good to be true. Enjoy yourself by taking your time in being present, so as not to trip into baptismal fire.

Bewitching your world through Venus

If you have worked with Venus, never have, or are a devotee this is the perfect time to amplify and soar. It could be through a dedicated altar to timing your self-care--it is up to you, your comfort level in praxis & construction.

The best times to do certain source work with a planet is when it is in its home sign, so in the case of Venus when dignified or Moon is in the signs of, Taurus & Libra. When a planet is Exalted it is like they are the guest of honor, placed upon a pedestal--so please keep this in mind. There are drastic differences between the magic of source work/creation & ritual. Take the time to learn what house Venus is transiting for you, how this articulates, and if there are planets that live there in your chart that may dampen the vibe. When a planet is in exaltation they do not have its own resources so the tide can turn from a raindrop. This is just my note of caution to move within your skill set. Specific timing with advanced instruction is offered on Patreon.

Venus moves into Pisces Friday, January 26 at 6:32 pm PST, and the first full day just so happens to in great timing for working with this lustrous planet. The days of Friday, and Monday after Sunset, in the hour of Venus.

Altar & Offerings

White or green (traditionally) cloth or paper (with this movement I have found dreamy purples and blues are wonderful, hence the above images)

One or Seven white or green candles (seven is the number of Venus)

Seven pennies and/or something copper

Malachite (also has copper), rose quartz, emeralds, diamonds, green jade

Floral scents: perfume, essences, essential oils, incense

A mirror

A green pen to draw out the below and/or petitions

Offerings of sweet things like honey, macaroons (are a fav of mine), sweet wines, fresh fruit, sugary confections & flowers, I also, always, include fresh water. Offer these based on your means, this isn't meant to break the bank. And when (if you ask) your petition is made offer something in accordence, presenting it next time as fufilling your contract. These things can also be dedicated time--as this is a currency of exchange, a song, a poem, or dance. Anything the Muses oversee, really.

Keep in mind you can use some of these suggestions, or all of them. Sure, there are workings that do require more precise instructions--this is not that.

In all things, it's more about how you show up. Take a cleansing bath or shower and get ready like you're going out to impress. Whatever this looks like for you--embrace your Venus sign, since this is when you will feel the most confident! Pull out all the stops.

Make sure you're watching the clock for Venus hour, you don't want want to be late. If you don't have an Astro app or Hours you can find that here.

Light your candles & incense

Trance on the symbols of Venus or draw them out, envision the Planet and maybe add music if you'd like--consider Handel or Chopin.

I prefer classical music because lyrics can be distracting but there are so many options for your vibe of Piscean song; Erika Badu, The Smashing Pumpkins, Marilyn Manson, or even Charlotte Church

Once you feel Centered & Energetically Fluid read the Orphic Hymn of Venus

Heav'nly [Ourania], illustrious, laughter-loving queen, sea-born, night-loving, of an awful mien; Crafty, from whom necessity [Ananke] first came, producing, nightly, all-connecting dame: 'Tis thine the world with harmony to join, for all things spring from thee, O pow'r divine. The triple Fates [Moirai] are rul'd by thy decree, and all productions yield alike to thee: Whate'er the heav'ns, encircling all contain, earth fruit-producing, and the stormy main,  Thy sway confesses, and obeys thy nod, awful attendant of the brumal God [Bakkhos]: Goddess of marriage, charming to the sight, mother of Loves [Eortes], whom banquetings delight; Source of persuasion [Peitho], secret, fav'ring queen, illustrious born, apparent and unseen: Spousal, lupercal, and to men inclin'd, prolific, most-desir'd, life-giving., kind: Great sceptre-bearer of the Gods, 'tis thine, mortals in necessary bands to join;  And ev'ry tribe of savage monsters dire in magic chains to bind, thro' mad desire. Come, Cyprus-born, and to my pray'r incline, whether exalted in the heav'ns you shine, Or pleas'd in Syria's temple to preside, or o'er th' Egyptian plains thy car to guide, Fashion'd of gold; and near its sacred flood, fertile and fam'd to fix thy blest abode; Or if rejoicing in the azure shores, near where the sea with foaming billows roars,  The circling choirs of mortals, thy delight, or beauteous nymphs, with eyes cerulean bright, Pleas'd by the dusty banks renown'd of old, to drive thy rapid, two-yok'd car of gold; Or if in Cyprus with thy mother fair, where married females praise thee ev'ry year, And beauteous virgins in the chorus join, Adonis pure to sing and thee divine; Come, all-attractive to my pray'r inclin'd, for thee, I call, with holy, reverent mind.

Present and pronounce your offerings out loud, what they are & thank their divine presence for what they have bestowed upon you.

If you have a petition now is the time to make your ask & contract--Venus is a transactional force.

Wrap up when you are ready, until next time that is!

You are more magical than you believe

🌙✨ She is the one named Sailor Moon 💖🌙

[elminx]

Ever since I started working more closely with (the planet) Venus, something very unexpected happened: people started viewing me as prettier.

I mean obviously, I have no idea how pretty people thought that I was prior to working with Venus nor do I have any idea how people truly view me now, but people started telling me that I was pretty. For the first time in my life. It's been an awkward experience for me if we're being honest because I was the red-headed freckled freak of a kid that the other kids picked on for how she looked. I'm not the pretty girl - certainly not on the inside even if some people seem to think that I am on the outside.

This would make more sense to me if I did a lot of glamour magic with Venus but that's not even it. It's just something that confuses the fuck out of me.

Realistic Diary of Connecting with Venus - Day 1

Today I:

- lit an almond croissant candle

- cleaned & organized my desk (where i do my makeup)

- did a daily tarot reading (something i'm trying to incorporate)

I feel like this is a fun start! I enjoyed putting in extra effort to the space I get ready in. I think of it as a devotional act to show how sacred the space can be! I also used my rose water & a spray I have called "sea witch" (smells so good) to perfume the area afterwards ✨.
