A 7 week embodied astrology container to work with Venus during her retrograde cycle,
‘When we become conscious of the cosmic forces working through the planets, we pass beyond their outer ruler and we integrate their powers within’ - David Frawley
Every 18 months Venus stations retrograde for around 40 days and nights. Venus is not just the goddess of love + pleasure, but a tantric Guru in her own right with the planetary system. In the Veda’s her name means ‘brilliant light’. It is believed that the Atlanteans built their calendar from her movements, and this reverence was passed onto Ancient Egypt and the Mayan’s who continued to use her movements as part of their system of time. In fact, our oldest remaining myth (around 5000 + years old) – The Descent of Inanna – is based on the movement of Venus from an evening to morning star (and back again).
In modern times Venus has been relegated to the planet of pleasure, money and relationships – and her spiritual importance has been forgotten. Venus is the planet which initiates us into devotion and allows us to experience the places we block this through egoic notions of our self-worth. She also works with us on an 8 year karmic cycle, which we will be sitting in as a part of this Sacred Circle.
The Rebirth is a sacred container to work in embodied practice with Venus’ energy, her ancient mythology, to remember her teachings and share her wisdom with each other. Over 7 weeks we will bring her mythology to life, and work with her as she descends into the underworld (moves from evening star to meet with the Sun) and then ascends as the morning star to the maximum point of her brightness (which represents our inner illumination). We’ll also be working with the asteroids she plays with like Isis, Ariadne and Cassandra.
There are 12 places available in this circle. The journey starts on the 2nd of March.

What is the curriculum?
Week 1: The Threshold (2nd of March)
In our first week together Venus will be stationary (unmoving) as she sits at the threshold between direct and retrograde. Standing at the threshold to the underworld. During this week we will work with the liminal energy, and work with the shadow period (lead up to Rx) to help understand the patterns we are working within our own lives.
Week 2: The Underworld (9th of March)
In our second week Venus is now retrograde and descending into the underworld and will be sitting with the asteroid Goddess Isis. In our practice we will be looking back across the Venus cycle which started 8 years ago to understand the karmic energy we are releasing. In this week we will work with Venus in her psychological aspect as self-worth and inner value as she internally passes through the ajna (third-eye), throat and heart chakra.
Week 3: The Underworld (16th of March)
In our third week we remain in the underworld and step further into it’s realms to understand our own subconscious and get to know the way in which our ego distorts Venus’s energy as desire + yearning and how this manifests through external patterns. In this week we will work with Venus in her material aspect as money, relationships, love and internally as she passes through the solar plexus, naval + sacral chakras.
Week 4: Katabasis (23rd of March)
In our 4th week (and right as we open circle) Venus will meet the Sun representing her arrival at the bottom of the underworld (also known as the Venus Starpoint) – The destination of this Katabasis. On this Day Venus will be joined by the asteroid Ariadne (Goddess of the Labrinth), and we get to meet her otherworldly sister (which you can think of as Ereshkigal or our inner shadow Venus). This is the embodiment of Venus as the energy which obstructs spiritual growth through illusion, deception and arrogance. Energetically we will be working with her presence in the base chakra (where we hold our past karmas and the seeds of karmas we will experience in this lifetime). This circle represents the start of a new Venus Cycle which will unfold over the coming 8 years.
Week 5: The Ascent (30th of March)
In our 5th week Venus rises as the morning star, exiting the underworld and bringing this wisdom into awareness. She will be joined in her ascent by the Goddess of Prophecy Cassandra. During this week we will be resurrecting our inner Venus energy with her new wisdom, and working with the Sacral, Naval and Solar Plexus chakras as we bring her out of our inner underworld.
Week 6: The Ascent (6th of April)
In our 6th week we will be lifting Venus from the material to the psychological. Working with her teachings at a higher consciousness and integrating them into how perception of worth + inner value. As Venus will be in harmony with her consort Mars and aligned with the North Node + Saturn (the Lord of Karma) we will also be entering the world of lives to come. Laying seeds for the future, and looking ahead to the 8 year cycle that will come from these seeds. Energetically we will be working with the chakras of perception – heart, throat and ajna.
Week 7: The Threshold (13th of April)
In our last week Venus will be stationary at the threshold again of returning to being an evening star. This circle will occur with the Virgo Full Moon, and as the Sun meets Chiron. In this week we will work with Venus in her higher spiritual form as devotion and divine love. With the space to carrying this energy through the shadow work down during her descent. We will work with her as the Goddess and energetically raise her to the level of the crown chakra.
Who this is for?
For those looking to deepen their spiritual connection to the cosmos. For the type of person who wants to transcend the psychological meaning of the planets and understand the pure consciousness of these deities. You don’t need any astrological knowledge before joining this container. If you have joined any of the embodied astrology course or healing meditations, then this will be similar to that experience.
