Did you know Venus recently made a transition from being the morning star to the evening star?
Venus left the morning sky on April 16, 2024 and journeyed through the underworld for three months, rebirthing just a few weeks ago as the evening star on July 21, 2024. We can now see her in the evening sky until March 16, 2025.
Venus is a very bright star in the sky, and you can often see her right after sunset.
Venus is the planet of relationships, beauty, elegance, embodiment, harmony, feeling, desire, sensuality, love, material enjoyment, receptivity, gratitude, balance, and is often related to art, dance and music and the Rose Priestess Path.
She is the second closest planet to the sun in our solar system. Her orbit around the sun creates a 5 petaled rose from the perspective of Earth. A full rose cycle takes 8 years to complete, during which there are periods where she is retrograde and direct, as well as periods where she is visible and non-visible.
These phases have a direct impact on us here on Earth...
Venus Rose Path
Venus began a new 8-year cycle in June 2020. It takes 19 months for Venus to complete a full cycle, and this happens 5 times over an 8 year period to create a five-petaled rose in the sky from Earth's perspective. We will complete this five petal rose the first week of June in 2028. What magic!
On March 16, 2025 Venus will begin her journey through the underworld like the Sumerian goddess Inanna, the goddess of love, beauty, fertility, war, and wisdom. Venus will be so close to the sun that we won't be able to see (or feel) her as strongly until she is birthed as the morning star just after the Spring Equinox, March 22, 2025.
Right now Venus is direct as the evening star, increasing in brightness, duration and height. This is a time of integrating personal transformations in tangible ways which may catalyze actions toward an improved society.
When Venus reaches maximum brightness (January - March 2025) we will be actualizing individual potential in complete service to the betterment of our world...
This is a powerful time to reflect:
What action am I being called to?
How can I integrate my recent transformations from this Spring?
How am I changing and growing?
What is working in my life? What am I grateful for?
How can I be of highest service?
What kind of world do I envision living in?
What is my place in creating this?
If you're interested in diving more into astrological wisdom, goddess archetypes, ritual and ceremony, I invite you to consider joining us in this year's Way of the Priestess program.
Our next cohort begins on September 13, 2024... and there are still spaces to join us.
I've opened my calendar to speak 1:1 with anyone considering the opportunity.
Book a free 30-min call and have the space to share about your dreams and visions and we can explore if it could be a good fit for you to join us this year on this path of beauty, devotion and service.

What does it mean to embody the Priestess in our everyday life?
It is to live a life connected to the divine in each moment. To bring devotion to our daily actions (cooking, cleaning, walking, writing, praying, meditating, talking) in remembrance of God/Goddess/all that is. It is to live in a state connected to breath and intuition, honoring the essence of the sacred feminine within. It is to allow what is, to forgive ourselves and others, and to see everyone around us as a soul, a higher consciousness living in a body.
To live as the Priestess is to see life happening for us, not to us. It is co-creating with life, and surrendering when God has a bigger plan.
It is becoming the vessel, emptying out in order to receive. It is communing with nature and the divine as one. It is becoming quiet enough inside to listen to the voice of intuition. It is to listen to others with compassion and hold space for letting go and new beginnings.
It is to express, feel, release, and honor the shadow that exists within and around us. It is to gaze at the stars, to write down our dreams, and honor the cycles of our body and the seasons of the year. It is to leave this world more beautiful than we found it. It is to midwife a shift in consciousness, to welcome a Golden Age, and emanate a frequency of love to all those around us on our path...
Enrollment is now open for the next cohort of the Way of the Priestess program.
I know so many of you sisters are already living this path... and if you long for support, community, sisterhood, and guidance along the way, I invite you to join us.
