The Time Of Venus

From time to time we find there are many things besides astrology in our life. From time to time we find that everything in our life is astrology. It’s all very well Sometimes you can meet a maniac and find it is a good chance to observe the effects of atra bilis or overheated melancholy

Last weekend we opened an exhibition of my wife’s paintings in the State Art Museum in the kremlin. This event had a strong scent of Venus – the aesthetic feast with paintings, chamber music and buffet tables.

This prompted me pay my attention to Venus in a period of the exhibition. And I found a pretty curious condition of Venus in this period.

Starting from 18th or 19th of March we have a very interesting phenomenon. The Sun is placed in Pisces, and Venus is placed in Aries. Venus sets after the Sun, and therefore Venus can be visible in the evenings after the sunset in the Western part of the horizon. And it is visible at 18th and 19th of March.

You can see the sunset of March, 18th in my region with this computer simulation. You can see a white point appearing after the sunset. It is Venus visible after the sunset. There is nothing unusual in it.

But there is something really unusual in the next morning. The Sun is still in Pisces, and Venus is still in Aries. But this morning Venus rises before the Sun in my region. And it will not just rise before the Sun, but it will be visible in the morning before the sunrise.

This computer simulation shows the morning of March 19th in my region. You can see a small white point ascending from the horizon at the left part of the picture. It is rising Venus, and it is visible. Then Venus vanishes step by step in the lightening sky, and the Sun rises.

After March 19th and upto March 27th we have this curious situation – Venus is visible both in the mornings before the sunrise and in the evenings after the sunset. Venus is both vespertine and matutine at the same time.

March 27th is the day of Venus’s vespertine helical setting. Venus becomes only matutine starting from this day. But it is still visible in spite of its conjunction with the Sun at this day. This time Venus passes the conjunction of the Sun without disappearance, i.e. without combustion.

It will be the time of quite unusual Venus, the celestial patroness of my wife. She is a true child of Venus not only because she is a painter, but she has a bright fixed star of the nature of Venus conjuncted with the Sun, and Venus is  doryphory in her nativity.

I’m expecting to see some special Venus’s gifts to her from this exhibition
