Tune in as Gary uncovers the deeper meanings and purposes of Venus' ingress of Virgo, and Her passage through the third gate of Her descent to the Underworld. The portents of Jupiter's retrograde station ( on the Transit of Venus point ) and Saturn's departure from Libra and entrance into Scorpio are revealed as well.

Gary advises that the Watery energies of the Unconscious are inundating from several directions and gives advice on how we can successfully cope with this powerful energetic influx. Be sure to tune in as he illustrates how this compelling process is happening on 3 levels -via Venus' 2nd conjunction with the Moon in her "Descent" phase, the Mercury retrograde cycles going into the Water element and the 2nd of 7 Uranus Pluto squares.

After 4 months in Gemini, Venus has finally moved into Cancer, where She is forming a Cardinal t-square to the transpersonal outer planets Uranus and Pluto. Gary breaks this all down, first in terms of the Venus visual or synodic cycle and also in terms of the much longer cycle regarding the recent Transit of Venus, the last we will see in our lives. This is the personal Revolution, which is taking place over the next 7 months.Next, Gary breaks down the Uranus-Pluto cycle, which frames the current squares, in order to clarify what the current collective or Trans-personal Revolution seems to really be about.Gary then puts it all back together to describe how we can first enter into a personal Revolution, which is then put into service toward the collective Revolution.
