2012 and Beyond - Part VI: The Venus Pentagram

The symbolism and deeper meaning of the eight year Venus transit that began in 2004.

As you will remember, on June 8, 2004 Venus began to draw a heavenly pentagram in order to use the power of the Sun to beam her energy down on Earth. Indeed, the movement and pattern that Venus traces around the ecliptic in her eight-year astronomical cycle forms a pattern that is a five-pointed star whose significance is the same as the five-pointed star that formed on October 1st, when the Sun, Pluto, Saturn, Uranus, and the Moon converged to form the shape of a 5-pointed star. Because of her eight-year cycle, the energy of the Venus pentagram will remain until 6:49pm Pacific Time on Wednesday, June 6. The convergence of the energy of the Venus pentagram with the energy of the October 1st pentagram should put into further perspective the importance of the cosmic shift that is occurring and the amazing opportunity we have to witness such a planetary spectacle.

Venus is an entity that holds tremendous mystical power. Indeed, the Venus mysteries speak the core truths of many ancient metaphysical belief systems, including the East Indian teachings on Enlightenment, the Rosicrucian philosophy, and the prophetic cosmic plan described by the Mayan culture. Meanwhile, in medieval times the five points Venus made represented the five knightly virtues of generosity, courtesy, chastity, chivalry, and piety. And the Wicca pentagram, another five-pointed star representing air, fire, water, earth and spirit, also has its roots in the Venus cycle.

The Mayans had an almanac that displayed the full cycle of Venus. In Mayan cosmology a new phase in evolution was entered on January 5th, 1999. This phase, however, has been waiting for the boost given by the current Venus transit. The 2012 transit of Venus, when the planet Venus will appear as a small, dark disk moving across the face of the Sun, began today 2:09PM Pacific Time, and will finish tomorrow at 06:49PM Pacific Time, marks the end of the eight-year cycle, setting the stage for the end of the Mayan’s final age, spoken of as the enlightenment of humanity.
