"Why, man, he doth betstide the narrow world Like a Colossus, and we
petty men Walk under his huge legs and peep about To find ourselves
dishonourable graves. Men at some time are masters of their fates:
The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars.  But in ourselves, that
we are underlings." –William Shakespeare (1564-1616) Julius
Caesar

Why is The Venus Transit of June 8, 2004, the
astronomical event of the year? 
     An extraordinary event is set to take place, an
astronomical occurrence which is extremely influential and
this has not occurred since the year 1882. On the 8th of June
2004 we will live through the most important astrological
event in living memory, this event has never before been
witnessed by anyone alive today and is an event which only
happens once every single century and this event will have a
considerable effect upon us all.  For the very first time in
over a hundred years Venus will glide across the face of the
Sun in what is called an astral Transit. On June 8,
2004, we will be able to see the Goddess of Love cross in front of
our Sun in the same manner as an eclipse. Venus has an incredibly
powerful influence that will be entirely focused upon all of us here
on Earth. For the first time in a very long time the Earth's and
Venus' astral paths will cross and the planets will share the same
space in our solar system. This phenomenon is extremely rare and only
four such events have occurred since the invention of the telescope --
these eclipses took place in 1518, 1631, 1761 and 1882.

Past lives, past wives...
     Do your remember your past lives?  Where were you during these
prior dates in destiny?  How does this life correspond to those past
lives?  We live cycles within cycles.  You are the sum total of all
you have ever been. You are a multidimensional being.  If we want to
understand our present, we must study our past.  Unless we understand
our history, we have a tendency to repeat past mistakes, and wander
aimlessly in the dark (unconscious), without full understanding as to
why life circumstances and events unfold in the NOW.  We are living
through a very vibrant, exciting, and influential period. Venus will
be blessing each one with her own special gifts and messages.

Venus and Earth are twin planets:
   Venus is often considered a 'twin sister' to the Earth
because Venus is the nearest planet to us and because
superficially the two planets seem to share many
characteristics. Venus has a strong feminine influence and as
the ancient Greek Goddess of Love and Eros this planet governs
strength, creativity, attractiveness, true values, wealth, what you
love, appreciate, enjoy, and your relationships.  

   The Venus Transit of June 8, 2004, is clearly the
astronomical event of the year. However, it may be much, much more
than that The Venus Transit has always preceded great
breakthroughs in human consciousness and played a very
significant role in very many cultures throughout the world.
Since there is no person alive today who has witnessed a

previous Transit the Venus Transit in 2004 will be everyone's
first such experience and this Transit.  Many believe this will
signal the beginning of a Golden Age, including the increase in your
telepathy, clairvoyance, intuitive abilities, and spiritual
experiences.  Venus will signal most importantly the opportunity to
merge with your Higher Self the Christ Consciousness.

   Although our lives may not be revolutionized on this
precise day during this eclipse of the Earth, Sun and Venus,
the period surrounding this date will be extremely important.
Here are some important Venusian questions to ask:

Is your present relationship creating personal/spiritual growth?
Are your needs being met in your current relationships (friends and
partner)? 
Is your relationship an authentic reflection of you?
Do you need to begin new ways and patterns in relating to Self and
others?
Do you need to show up differently, recreate Self, and your life? 
Are you feeling creative, alive, and able to take healthy risks that
energize you? 
Are you holding your self back?
What relationships need boundaries, higher standards or closure? 
How can you merge your light and darkness to feel more integrated,
balanced and whole?
Can you practice the Law of Allowing? 
Are you ready to receive the gifts/messages that Venus will bring to
you?
What are your heart's desires? 
Can you merge with others in-group efforts that will shift the planet
into the dawning Golden age? 

Venus is in opposition to political Pluto…
    It is not all hugs and kisses this June.  Venus and the Sun
will be opposed by Pluto.  Pluto represents power and transformation.
He also rules jealousy, guilt, manipulation, power plays, power
struggles, and hidden agendas.  Oppositions are awareness's that
come to us through others.  We need to be honest with Self and
everyone concerned.  Our shadow side will be exposed.  Venus is
retrograde until June 29; we can be in the dark as to what our karmic
lessons are concerning our relationships.  Wise council can help
point out mistakes; give us insight, and clarity as to why we
seemingly are not getting what we want. Healthy action is the cure.
    Manipulation and suppression of information (Gemini) is
happening, we can ask Spirit to expose the truth, expose the lie,
especially in the media.  The power of Venus is of paramount
importance in rebalancing our relationships, values and resources -
the call of the hour!  Mars when close to the Earth brought us war
and the dark warriors in 2003.  Venus across the Sun beams to the
collective consciousness the greater awareness of the feminine
principal: the emphasis on cooperation, not competitiveness, love-
consuming hatred, inclusion-erasing separation; the light (love) will
dissolve the darkness. 

"The Way of Love by Saint Germain

From Love I came, to Love I go;
And all this swing both to and fro
Alters not and jot
Of Cosmic Purpose I forgot.
I reach out now, to Truth I vow;
To Love in all I ever bow.
The universe is one alone-
No clash of multifacet tone.
The chime I hear is ever near;
`Tis Love that cast out every fear.
Where'er I Am Thy Love lives, too,
To free the many and the few.
Command Perfection, Love's great Law!
Command Perfection, Love's great Light!
Thy glowing beauty through the night
As star eternal, Light supernal,
Woos us all by present might.
For Love I am and Love I live;
This is the allness that I give. 
To each manchild the spark is given-
`Twill rend the veil and bring to heaven." –Church Universal
and Triumphant, 1968
    "To rend the veil" is to erase all sense of separation from
Source and our Higher Self. "To bring to heaven" merging with the
(Christ Consciousness) means to bring in our Age of Peace, Truth,
Abundance, Health, and Enlightenment not just for the few but also
for ALL.
