Venus bi-quintile Gonggong!

I hope you are enjoying today's Venus quintile to Mars and trine to Saturn. The quintile is turning our social interaction into an evolutionary opportunity to develop our relationships, and the trine is encouraging us to take on more responsibility in those interactions.

The goddess of love is also bi-quintile Gonggong, our new planet of empathic consciousness, at 6 degrees of Pisces. And because Venus is quintile Mars, this means that Mars is also bi-quintile Gonggong.

This bi-quintile yod to Gonggong is lifting our personal evolutionary relationship growth in these next days into a more socially participatory experience. The more you can be sensitive to the emotional community in which you are nestled and open to the empathic support of others, the better your relationship growth will go.

Opening to the empathic support of others requires that we get out of our own emotions to start with. Emotions are our instinctive response to the events in our lives, which makes them a largely unconscious process and, because of this, we often feel we are at their mercy. And we also like to wallow in emotions, because they are strong, and powerful, and are more real to us than much of the rest of our experience.

So, when you're operating at the unconscious level, Gonggong could be encouraging you to be emotionally indulgent in your relationships in these next days. You might feel that what is happening for you is so important that you are lost in that experience and nothing else matters. 

Another way this could manifest is that you may feel overwhelmed with the emotions in your life, and unable to see a clear path forward out of the morass of your personal feelings. If you are overwhelmed, the key is not to indulge in this, but rather to allow yourself to float to the surface and then rise above it.

We tend to feel at these times that by lifting ourselves above the overwhelm, we are not dealing with important lessons. However, the reverse is true, your divine work is to let go of the base emotions so you can be sensitive to the emotional community in which you are nestled and open to the empathic support of others.

As we develop a more spiritual approach, we begin to understand that we live in a symbiotic relationship with the ‘others’ in our lives, and that we can pool our energy to achieve collective aims. So this is a good time to work with your community and to participate in group projects.

At this spiritual level you can use these next days to channel your emotions and mould your psychic space to meet the needs of your evolutionary relationship growth. You have an opportunity to lift your energy out of an indulgent space and into a co-operative interchange with others. Gonggong flowers and becomes an empathic wizard when we take full advantage of our social opportunities, lifting our own and other’s energies through social interplay.

He enables us to participate in the marketplace of life, to joyfully work with the give and take of energy within our community which is essential for our survival. When we do this, Gonggong brings good luck, prosperity, and abundance. So, through your sensitivity to the energy flows in these days, you may be able to position yourself, or your product, to maximise your potential. 

No matter how much you try to be an island unto yourself, social interplay is the lifeblood of survival. You have the power to change your life by changing how you respond in any one of the interactions you have in these next days. If there is an area of your social interplay that you enjoy and would like to develop, this is your opportunity to do that. Try different responses and follow your bliss.

You can also use these next days to do a personal stocktake. Ask yourself: “What am I bringing to the marketplace of life?” It might be something you do, or it could be you, yourself. Consider how you interface this with the social environment and make adjustments as needed to enhance this interplay. 

However the bi-quintile yod is manifesting for you - bringing overwhelm, empathic support, a sensitivity to the energy flows, social participation, or marketplace opportunities - the more consciously you can approach these outer planets, the better you're able to use this energy in your life.
