Hi everyone, this is Acyuta bhava from Nightlight Astrology and today we're going to take a look at Venus entering the sign of Sagittarius, where Venus will form a series of antiscia with Saturn, Jupiter and Pluto. Now, we also looked at these antiscia forming between the Sun when it entered Sagittarius and Mercury when it entered Sagittarius. So, we're following suit with a number of antiscia that have formed over the past month. So, for those of you who don't know what antiscia are, if you go back a few videos, you'll see me talking about the Sun forming antiscia with Saturn and Jupiter and Pluto. If you go back to that video, I unpack the whole concept of antiscia as well. So Meanwhile, so that's we're gonna jump into today, give you a sense of how this might show up in your life, what to watch for, and how we might see it in the larger collective sphere as well. Now, in the meantime, I want to remind everybody, I have 17 days left to go and my annual fundraiser we beat last year's record yesterday. Thank you, everyone, so much, we surpassed 691. backers in 2019, we got to 690. So yesterday, we passed 691. We're at 723. Now, which is amazing. So it's just a testament to how much this channel has grown in the past year. And I feel like how, how much help that I've had this past year, thanks to last year success, I was able to bring on a staff this year in 2020. And, boy, I just I feel a lot more sane. And it's been really, really helpful. So we have 17 days left to go our stretch goal last year we set one and we got to it, we'll see if we can do it this year, we're going to set a stretch goal of 1000 backers, which would be about you know 277 left, so we're going to see if we can do that with 17 days left to go. And when you when you donate remember, you can pick up a lot of different rewards that I offer, really appreciate your support with this channel, so yeah, so you can also pick up 50% off to all of my online classes in 2021, including my one year course ancient astrology for the modern mystic and my second year course or my horary course, are all on sale to the Kickstarter every year. So good time to save. All right, well, thank you everybody for your support so far. I'm just I'm blown away and really just I couldn't be happier. I love my job. I love doing this kind of work for you guys. And yeah, I get a lot out of it every day. It's a part of how I stay spiritually centred in life and to share that journey with other people like minded people. Yeah, it's a dream come true. So thank you all so much. All right, so let's dive into these antiscia and see what we've got.
2:51
So you're gonna see these antiscia forming literally as I'm recording this. Venus has just ingressing into Sagittarius. And as soon as Venus ingresses into Sagittarius, we use that zero degree cutoff marker of the winter solstice and we say, whenever you have one planet in saj, and another planet in Capricorn, these two signs form antiscia with each other, and you have Venus right now at 00 Sagittarius, where Saturn is at 29'50". The, antiscia will therefore be Venus at about 10 minutes of the first degree of Sagittarius, then it's going to move into antiscia with Jupiter, before it reaches the first degree of Sagittarius. And then you'll see it reaching toward the antiscia with Pluto when it gets close to the sixth and seventh degrees. So how will that take place? Well, thebig antiscia with Saturn and Jupiter will take place today into tomorrow, the 15th and to the 16th of December. And then you're going to see the other antiscia form, you know, between about December 20 and 21st. Now, why is that significant? Because, as Venus is forming the antiscia with Pluto between the 20th and 21st, you are going to have that happening as Jupiter conjoins with Saturn, and as Mars goes through the square to Pluto, this is a pretty big deal. Theat's a power packed transit. And we've been talking about this for several months. This was one of the biggest transits of the year, including the Saturn-Pluto conjunction at the beginning of the year. This one is significantly more hopeful. But wow, does it pack a punch based on the fact that we have Mars the God of War squaring subterranean Hades, Pluto, in this very explosive moment, on the winter solstice. It's interesting that Venus is also in this antiscia. Remember ticia have the connotation of being a conjunction, but a kind of special, a special kind of conjunction. A conjunction that is sometimes described as more secretive or clandestine or subtle. Sometimes you can feel them but you're like where I don't see anything. It's like you know, Mercury's getting combust and you feel like it's retrograde then you go, Oh yeah, Mercury's combust and that can be like retrograde. In terms of Mercury getting a little bit more chaotic or Mercurial things getting a little bit more challenging. A lot of people will feel a planetary transit and not recognise it's antiscia because it has this subtle dimension, the planets aren't seeing one another by virtue of a traditional aspect line and aspect line implies sight or vision between whole signs or between degrees within signs. Now, we have an aspect that is not based on a line of sight, at least in the case of Sagittarius and Capricorn, the antiscia is about the same amount of light and dark in the 24 hour period. So they have their something equal about their positions. Now, some people will debate whether or not you can put antiscia with outer planets, I personally think you can, I think it's more reliable to do so with the traditional seven. But I found that you can get a lot of mileage out of out of that technique. So I'm looking at this and going, you know, perhaps the biggest of these three antiscia is Venus conjoining, with Pluto, as this very powerful, transformative moment between Venus and Pluto, as Mars is also squaring Pluto. That's very powerful. So what can you expect from this, let's translate it all and try to figure out what this means.
6:45
The first thing is that when Venus leaves Scorpio, which Venus just did, Venus is leaving the sign of Mars, which is one of the two signs of Venus's exile or detriment. It's not that nothing is worth anything or that it's a bad Venus or we're not trying to you know, speak pejoratively about you know about Venus in Scorpio. But because Venus and Mars when they are in each other signs have to kind of compromise it's like, me going over to your house hoping for a nice Tea Party instead, you're like, let's play laser tag. We have different agendas, you know what I mean? So, Venus and Mars' sign. And Mars in Venus' sign, there's tension between the Venus Mars archetypes and that is said to be a kind of tension that provides difficulty. Can you make something good out of it? Sure. You know, Mars and Venus when they're together they are. They are the yin and the yang, they they're always going to have the kind of awkward relationship with one another that can be synthesised or can be polarised and a lot of it depends on us. But that's a difficult place for Venus versus moving into Jupiter sign of Sagittarius where Venus is not in any detriment any longer or any debility. And now that means Venus picks up dignity just by virtue of not being in her detriment. You get Venus into Sagittarius Venus is now in Jupiter's sign. And when Venus is in Jupiter's sign, depending on the state of Jupiter, you're going to get that feeling of Venus being sort of lifted up and you're going to get the more expansive qualities of Jupiter, the noble, benevolent qualities of Jupiter, the growth oriented qualities of Jupiter remember Venus and Jupiter both benefic planets, the greater and lesser benefic. So you would think that that's a good thing. The problem here is that Jupiter is in its fall. And that means your host is, might be under the table like drunk and unable to help you do what you want to do.
11:20
So Venus is moving into Jupiter sign. You're a houseguest of Jupiter and Jupiter is trying to serve you up something but you know is not going to be able to facilitate because Jupiter is drunk on the table on cake and unicorns. So that's the that's the situation. I'm gonna read you guys something that comes from Charles Obert's book on the classical seven planets. This is a book that just came out this year. I really like it as a reference. It lists a bunch of different traditional source texts and how they describe the planets. So a few things that you may not know about Venus, Venus is desire and love. This is from Vettius Valens, who was a Hellenistic author. Interesting that in ancient astrology, it was associated with priesthoods, which you may not know, school superintendencies, high offices with the right to wear a gold ring or a crown, cheerfulness, friendship, companionship, the acquisition of property, the purchase of ornaments and agreements on favourable terms, marriages, pure trades, fine voices, the taste for music, sweet singing, beauty, painting, mixing of colours, both in embroidery and dying. Venus makes craftsmanship or trade, work with emeralds, precious precious stones, and ivory. So these are things that you've probably heard before some variation of them, what I think is interesting is that it's also related to the priesthood. Because temples have to be clean. You know, if you want the divine to visit you, you have to show that you're creating a home for it, that's very beautiful. So temples are oftentimes adorned with artwork and flowers and the altars are adorned. Now, I grew up in the Protestant church, which is unfortunately a little minimalistic In my opinion, this is just my take, where, you know, I love Catholic churches, even though I grew up Protestant, because, you know, Catholic churches are just more beautiful to be in, in my opinion, anyway, the stained glass, the light, the incense. If you've ever been to a Greek Orthodox Church to which I visited before, and those are very beautiful as well, I went to Greece and Turkey when I was in high school and with with my dad on a on a trip to see sacred sites from the New Testament. Temples are holy, clean places. And so Venus is associated with that sort of the ornamentation and the cleanliness associated with priests or priestesses and the ceremonial space. Even ayahuasca ceremonies in South America, you know, the, there's a lot of care and attention that's given to the candour of a ceremonial space. Anyway, it's just an aside.
14:16
Now, let's talk about Venus getting into the antiscion with Saturn. We know that it's going to have trouble with its host Jupiter. Jupiter is changing signs fairly quickly, and that's where all this is going to culminate. But let's start with Venus and Saturn. Here's what vettius Valens says about Saturn and Venus when paired together now, which they're going to be through antiscia today and tomorrow.
14:36
"Saturn and Venus act harmoniously with respect to activities and employment. They promote success with respect to entanglements and marriage, agreeing and beneficial only for a time, not to the end. Indeed, they cause abuse, divorces and constancy and death, often entangling men with the baseborn and lowly causing them to fall into harm and lawsuits."
14:56
You can hear the culture of the ancient world there. There's different classes of people in the ancient world, entangling men with the baseboard and lowly Saturn as a planet would represent people who were outcasts from society those who were impoverished, it's like the pawn shop, you don't want to wander into right where you might, you might, you might get involved with something that's not right or injust or something that's sort of evil or wicked, Saturn could represent getting caught up with people who are thieves or you know rogues or murderers or something like that. But on the other hand, Saturn and Venus can imply relationships with people who are somehow outsiders or black sheep. And as the tradition goes on Saturn is often not just associated with those who have some lowly kind of prejudice, like a status in society that someone might look at with, you know, some kind of prejudice, which it could. And you'll see some of that prejudice, actually, in the ancient astrology texts here and there. But also you're talking also about love, charity, and generosity or humanitarian work sometimes, because Saturn is also going to represent those who are marginalised and in need of the good fortune that Venus provides, like you think of like a homeless shelter, or a domestic violence shelter or something like that. And you could get a Venus Saturn combination in the traditional sense. However, one thing that's tricky is that Saturn and Venus can imply like a good agreement that ends up going sour, like a marriage that ends up in divorce, or, you know, the breaking off of some kind of relationship or agreement. So there's a lot of different ways that you can read Saturn with Venus, but it could, for example, imply the start of a relationship with someone that's really not a good idea. It could signify the ending of some kind of agreement or relationship or contract. Sometimes Venus and Saturn will be like trying to get into a relationship or a deal in agreement or trying to make something good happens through a means of through an approach that is unethical. And there's kind of a secretive dimension to this as well. So you should be careful of that one.
17:43
So one of the things that's also there will be that Venus as the goddess that is associated with good fortune, is fickle. Not really, because fortune is fickle, because fortunes come up and they go down, things go good, and then they're not so good. You have money and then you spend it, you lose money, and then you gain some. So Venus and Mars were both associated with the houses of good and bad fortune and sat right next to each other in the sixth and the fifth. So when Venus is paired with other planets, sometimes there will be the sign of like, things go good for a while, but don't expect them to last forever. Because Venus is a fast moving planet. Venus will bring things that don't always last and if you pair that with Saturn, sometimes it can mean that if you start something around this time, it doesn't necessarily end as well, also because of the relationship with Saturn. Now, let's go into Saturn Jupiter and Venus This one's a little bit better.
18:47
Now Jupiter with Venus typically, which is going to do through antiscia again here are "good in harmony, productive of rank and profit bringing new acquisitions gifts, adornments. rulerships, the beginning of children, high priesthoods, preeminence among the masses, honours of garland's and gold crowns. These stars make men who are worthy of statues and images but they also make them subject to ups and downs with respect to marriage and children."
19:14
We could speculate Zeus Jupiter, just like Saturn and Mars, Jupiter and Venus are the benefics right so they together they can signify really high degrees of good fortune or success. But do they last? Do they puff people up? You know Zeus is a god that's prone to becoming a hypocrite. Or indicating hypocrisy, it's like hubris, you can get high on what Jupiter and Venus bring together even though as you can see here they "are good in harmony, productive rank and profit" meaning you you gain, honour, notoriety, status, success. They're good for like having children or starting new things or, you know, adornments or so forth. You come into greater power, status, wealth etc. They even have statues made in your image, think of like Michael Jordan's statue outside of the Chicago basketball arena or something, it's kind of a Venus Jupiter thing got the beauty, the statue of Venus a really important person, Jupiter. However, really important here, it makes them subject to ups and downs. And that's the thing to remember here is that we have a Venus Jupiter combination, like Venus and Saturn that can lead to good things, but don't think that this stuff is going to last forever. Or don't think that the tide of Fortune couldn't turn.
20:54
So okay, so when I was, I was in college, I had this terrible job. It was, um, I had to collect late subscription payments to the Pioneer Press newspaper in St. Paul. And I used to have to call people up on the phone and be like, Hi, you haven't paid your newspaper subscription in two months, and you're overdue? Could I collect a payment over the phone? And, you know, sometimes people would hang up or whatever, that sometimes people would pay you and depending on how many people you collected, you know, you get you get like, little bonuses and, and I just hated that job. But it was I mean, it was good. I made money while I was in college. One day, I got my paycheck. And my paycheck was for like $500 more than it than I thought it was going to be. And I assumed that I that I had gotten like a big bonus right? And so I had a buddy who was over you know, he had been spending the night and I like I got my paycheck and he was over my apartment and stuff and he got up in the morning and I was like cooking omelettes. I had music going I'd gone to the grocery store picked up some groceries making a big nice breakfast. He's like, What are you so happy about I was like I just hit the jackpot. Dude, I just got a big bonus. Like, I couldn't have been happier. Flash forward to like 30 minutes later the phone rings and it's the company or whatever. And they're like, we paid you too much. And I was like, Oh my god, I essentially just gone and you know, blown more money than I should have making this big breakfast. So I've got this huge like omelette awesome breakfast, my friend is eating and he's like, I'm sorry you have to give that money back. Oh my god too funny Venus Jupiter stuff, right? Venus Saturn stuff. It looks good, but it can be very inconstant. And we have all the more reason to think that because Jupiter is in its fall. So you know, it looks good, but don't blow it. You know what I mean? Or be wise and discerning with how you use whatever is coming in. That would be one good piece of advice for this transit of the next few days. This is Obert's comment on Jupiter and Venus "the good fortune and power of Jupiter mixes here with the adornment and beauty of Venus. Jupiter's palaces just got prettier and more gilded, more decorated." Interestingly, there are swings of fortune. Just be careful over the next couple of days. Because the potential for there to be some some unexpected swings either in what you're starting or what you're getting really excited about. Don't go make the big omelette breakfast right away. Don't go to the grocery store and blow a bunch of money because you're excited that you got overpaid because you probably did get overpaid. My friend still today goes I just remember eating that meal being like this is the greatest breakfast ever. You sucker. You have to go get it back.
24:29
Then finally we have Venus's antiscion with Pluto. And that antiscion with Pluto is going to combine Venus with those underworld subterranean themes. It gets a little exotic. It gets a little dark and twisted, whether it's art, beauty, sex, relationships. It can also be about things that are being exposed or brought up to this to see the light of day from a place that's hidden. It's about disclosure of things that have been hidden. It can also be about catharsis that's intense, powerful, deep, a little bit dark. And so Venus is going to go through that catharsis with Pluto. And remember, that's happening at the same time that Mars is triggering a release from Pluto. So, we're about to hit this moment, literally, in the next week or so, where there's going to be in addition to this, oh, look at this great conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn, which is nice. It's a transition. That's nice. But we also have some really intense fireworks from Pluto coming up around the exact same time, what will that look like? What will the surprise be in all of this? My best advice is to stay cautious and a little conservative, especially when approaching things that you know, that looks like a sure bet or it looks like a good deal or, you know, you're really higher happy about it. Just don't go to the grocery store too quickly. So that's, that's my kind of warning here. On the other hand, Venus and Saturn can point to pain, maturity, death limitations, in love, in relationships. It can signal deeper learning or growth, there can also be themes of almost like it's a little Shakespearean, that Venus-Saturn dynamic makes me feel like there's a little bit of a Romeo and Juliet vibe in the air right now. Or misunderstandings and almost like a romantic over the top perspective on something could lead to a fall, I think of also the fall of Venusian figures, really important women, you know, stories about women who have survived or who have endured trauma, to the topic of feminism of sexual abuse in the workplace, just just Venus stuff and the, you know, the insertion of like, heavier, darker, more challenging themes for Venus between now and the 21st 22nd. I think that the possibility that you know, a famous woman would die or a famous artist or some someone whose Venusian is there, or that there could be some kind of downfall for a Venusian figure or that secrets or scandal is exposed for Venusian topics or figures. So that would be something to watch for. I think about deals being made or changed. I think about agreements or relationships breaking off in a rather surprising way, perhaps due to things being uncovered. And I also think about loyalties changing, like loyalties vacillating, and being really careful about that, because again, if you put your loyalty into something right now, at this moment, it could very well change more suddenly or quickly than you imagine in the future as well.
28:13
Watch out for the for the wolf in sheep's clothing. Because you do have this you know, there's an agenda here, there's a very aggressive Mars squaring Pluto. And that can be very explosive and sort of violent, a discharge of like violent energy or pent up feelings, it's more confrontational and hostile, that involves a display of will or power or force, it's very dynamic, which can create change for the better as well. But with Venus in the mix of all of that, just be aware of that way that people could seduce you into something when they really try to take something from you, that that's a real potential over the next week. And I would also say that, what we desire, becoming a source of conflict, what we desire becoming a source of conflict. So, those are my best, you know, just kind of brief thoughts about these antiscia, I feel like in the past year or two, I paid a lot more attention to them. So I consider myself still at the point in my practice, where I'm kind of taking notes and seeing what kinds of things they bring. Here's one headline that I found very, very interesting that I just wanted to share with you this morning. I usually scan the headlines a little bit when I'm looking at stuff like this. So there is a story on I guess it's CNN's style page. Today, I look at multiple different networks. And I know there's some people out there we're going to be like having a cow because I look at CNN, feel free to have your cow somewhere else. But there was a story about a British artist named Tracy Emin. After fighting cancer, Tracy Emin returns to the artworld, just months after undergoing extensive surgery to treat an aggressive bladder cancer, the famed British artist is back with two deeply personal new exhibitions, and you're going to see, you know, a painting that she did that is very obviously connected to her battle with cancer. And there's a woman and it's a very provocative painting. I'll just say that and beautiful in its own way. Anyway, my point is that I wasn't surprised at all, when I clicked on the Venusian style page of a website and seeing the story about someone who had survived cancer. Venus with a fallen Jupiter can also suggest the spread of a malignant cancer. I wouldn't be surprised if we found out in the next week that some female celebrity, for example, has cancer. The reason is that Jupiter is sort of malignant and suggests things that will grow or expand that are difficult or heavy. The thing is that Jupiter makes things grow. And when it's in Capricorn, it can make Saturnine things grow, which will include illness. So when you pair Venus with that, Jupiter and Saturn dynamic in the next few days, in Jupiter's rulership, you can you can see stories about, you know, these darker qualities paired with the Venusian qualities, that's the main thing. And with Jupiter in its fall, it can also mean that if I'm at your house and you're drunk under the table on cake, you know, if you're fighting over unicorns, then you're going to be a lot less capable of giving me what I need. And it's likely that I'm going to get dragged into the sugar drunk unicorn fight. You know what I mean? So, so you have to watch for that over the next few days. Now, there is a turnaround here because Jupiter and Saturn switch signs into Aquarius, on the 21st. And that does lead to this kind of cathartic moment with Venus, Pluto and Mars Pluto. So my sense is that, avoid entanglements as much as you can and taking big risks. I don't want anyone to look a gift horse in the mouth, but be careful of what's being offered in the next week. Because there's some really fast turning moments around the 21st and 22nd, which we'll be exploring more as the week goes on.
