What an amazing Summer Solstice energy here in the Venus city of Tulum!
I’m writing this post under the influence of the 7th Gate of the Venus passage through the archetype of Capricorn.
There is one more gate in the Capricorn cycle, on July 20 at 28 Leo. Venus turns retrograde 3 days later on 23 July, to disappear from the night sky in the 13 August interior conjunction with the Sun at 21 ♌️.
Helical rise is when Venus arises ahead of the sun at dawn. She will therefore be at her brightest and boldest at 13 ♌️ on August 27. Check to see if you have any planets on or opposing that Leo position!
This movement reinforces the Leo horn of the Venus Pentagram Points comprising the Aquarian Venus archetype.
Triple ♌️ Solstice Conjunction
Venus beginning her 2023 Underworld journey in conjunction with Mars is beauty and boldness!
This is Ashley, an awakened beauty, in the Tuluminati fashion which highlights the feminine curves. She arrived at the Freelance Hostel last weekend with her androgynous boyfriend — embodying the twinning union of complementary opposites of this Gemini New Moon.
Mayan Mythology
How to find the mythological origins of this new Venus archetype in Tulum?
I traveled to the jungle this morning to explore the ruins of COBA.
Coba has the tallest temple pyramid on the Yucatan Peninsula. It is 120 steps to the top of the Nohoch Mul pyramid, totaling 137 feet in height. It was constructed so the sun would stream down from top to base at the Summer Solstice.
The sacred architecture reveals what was repressed in western civilization — the crucial position of the kundalini serpent behind the stela at the base.
In the human body, this is the root chakra at the base of the spine.
The convergence of sacred geometry and cosmic timing is the outward manifestation
…in sacred architecture of the life force streaming through the chakras.
Solstice Death/Rebirth Ritual
I lay down on the concrete slab for human sacrifice and then stood in the center of the open circle with a navel in the center.
This is the Self, the icon of the HIEROS GAMOS.
Afterwards, a caterpillar landed on my arm!
