Venus in Scorpio - Rose hip elixir resurrection

9:11 PM 10/30/2009

Venus is in Libra trine Neptune. Moon in early Aries is not yet opposite Venus and is closely trine Mars in Leo.

I put a dropperful of this elixir in our cherry mead, and the result is superb! The flavor is excellent. This mead is transformed into a fertile and juicy elixir, very much the hip of rose. It smells and tastes round and beautiful, and the color is exquisite. I have never had a better Venus libation, in terms of energy also - it is filling my body with the sensation of light pouring through my heart and down my limbs, coupled with so much energy in my head that it hurts a bit unless I breathe deeply and slowly to move the energy down.

"So beautiful, almost evil - you're like butterflies in my head: you made me feel alive when I was almost dead" - lyrics this brings to mind
I think that this experience is challenging some energy blocks I've had bothering me for awhile. Also during the invocation I thought of the meaning of the Hindu part of my Venus talisman, "Love is stronger than death." What I think this is getting at is that even at the nadir of our lives when we are numb and everything is hollow and meaningless to us, there is a dormant seed that starts to grow and miraculously bring us back from this, and it is love so irrational and powerful that the beloved is as astonishingly breathtaking as a deity. It is not the person who is so powerful, it is the power of Venus to trigger an emotional resurrection and make even ice or desert bloom and live again. Such loves survives also the death of the beloved, who enters the whole world and makes of creation a heartbreaking song of eternal life. It can be called redemption, and makes visible to the blind the piercing beauty of God, which halts one on one's robotic journey and gives a holy purpose through feeling. People can change in a dramatic reversal, and it is this unexpected vision of Venus that brings a second chance to the person who has hit bottom and is finally ready to let their fear go - a lifetime of crystallization is broken open and volatized.
