Where Venusian Astrology Came From
After studying Astrology for a few years I realised that I would have to consider the best use for this unfathomably accurate tool. Astrology had been an instrument of politics, and had often been misinterpreted as a tool that might separate people rather than bring us together. Astrology's use is bound in the knowledge of the time. In our 21st Century we have come much further in our ability to find probable reasons for previously misunderstood phenomena. There remains, however, the need for new systems to enable our use of some of our latest findings. And along came Venusian Astrology. Any system is only as good as its underlying focus of intention. So, to set the record straight, please read these articles prior to working through the course made available here on using Venusian Astrology.

    Fear : In Fear Of Ghosts and Goblins
    Preliminary readings towards Venusian Astrology.

A few considerations:
The food we eat can cause us to have bad dreams.
The movement of oxygen around our bodies (meditative breating practices), or other chemicals for that matter, can cause us to have Divine or Religious experiences.
We can project and share visions whether these be demonic or beautiful.
Intention creates Reality.
We can hurt someone with our intention just as we can hit someone with our fists.
We can, like in aikido, enable the force of our adversaries to move without our obstruction or compliance, or we can mirror their force back to them to do them harm.
The question is not about combating danger, the question is about who we are body/mind/spirit/soul. In Magician Speak : matters are to be dealt with on the appropriate plane. These planes are actually all parts of Us as individuals and not really planes at all. Separating them has been a ridiculous political past-time designed to enforce the misguided definition of fear itself, and dis-empower human beings.

What does all of this mean to us when something frightens us?

Let’s consider some things we may be afraid of.
Fear of not having enough money for food and clothes.
Fear of hearing or seeing things that others may not.
Fear of being attacked physically.
Fear of being attacked psychically.
Fear of ghosts.
Fear of love.
Fear of women.
Fear of men.
Fear of hell.
Fear of possession.
Fear of the devil.
Fear of god.
Fear of being overpowered mentally.
Fear of competition at work.
Fear of failure.
Fear that others will take what is yours.
Fear that others will not let you have what you want.
Fear of symbols that frighten us.
Fear of sex.
Fear of doing bad things.
Fear of speaking too loudly.
Fear of questioning others’ beliefs.
Fear of being questioned about our own.
Fear of being thought of as mad.
Fear of going mad.

When we are children and we touch the hot-plate (who hasn’t?) we burn ourselves. We do not touch the hot-plate again! But do we never learn to cook or think cooking a fearful thing to do? Hardly. So why do we run away from other things that seem to hurt us or scare us? Society sanctions the learning of cooking. Culinary expertise is in fact widely appreciated by most cultures on our planet. The ever increasing number of cooking shows on television makes such adoration apparent. And why not? It is something to be enjoyed. An art form in its own right and often entertaining and satisfying. And we all need to eat after all.

But there are other things we need too, but few cultures allow us the encouragement. If we don’t have sex then we don’t have children. If children aren’t brought up with a male and female influence where both are equally valued then children will fear their own sexuality, through gender issues conditioning.

We have a body, a soul, a mind and a spirit. Why do the different culturally sanctioned political orders for each hold such contempt for each other when all our parts are contained in each of us as creative human beings? How many spiritual people do you know who harm their bodies with stoic diets or carry too much weight? How many studious people do you know who get out to either enjoy their bodies or enquire about their spirituality occasionally? And how many soulful people do you know who are not so balanced in other areas?

We are a group animal, like it or not. What the group thinks affects us. Scientifically, it has been shown that without group support most extraordinary experiences may be damaging to the stability of the individual who experiences them. A medium can only enjoy his or her art with those who appreciate and sanction their gift. It used to be that computer nerds were rarely welcome at jocks parties to borrow American movie discourse. The ballerina on the farm is an unlikely combination and more than likely doomed to ignore her creative impulse to dance when hard work is called for.

But despite the cultural stigma attached to breaking away from the mould nearly every human being on our planet feels an impulse to be different. The wider the chasm between what we need and what our ‘group’ demands of us, the more poignant will be our response.

Our intention becomes paramount to the creation of our world. We make a choice, in extreme disparities, to fight or conform (to die to who we are). Often it isn’t nearly so dramatic because our systems are basically evolved as base level complacency systems to keep us conditioned and ready to act when needed by the group.

But discrepancies start to surface through other areas of our lives, in our minds or in our covens. The black demons of our dreams whether they are intentionally conjured by someone dealing with their own pain or by ourselves, are explainable and expectable. Our haunted houses may be explained too. There is nothing to fear.

We can explain all these things, and more importantly, we can deal with them, as we wish.

In my article titled ‘subconscious’ I dealt with where a lot of things might come from. I won’t go into this again here. The following will now be much more practical so that such fears can be relegated to their appropriate place. There is no room for fear in the life of co-creative human beings – or is there?

Fear is a word that merely expresses a phenomenon of experience before understanding or expectation. Where there is expectation the experience itself is changed. If it were not for education through conditioning, every moment of our lives would be one of what we currently perceive as fear, because we would not expect anything that happened but would have our eyes wide open to each moment that occurred.

The word fear would hardly equate with that wonderful opportunity. So firstly let’s change our understanding of the word ‘fear’ by breaking it down further.

At present how do we react to fear? We avoid it. We run away from it. We try to kill it. We try to pretend it doesn’t exist. We make it evil and war with it.

This is not fear at all. It is merely ignorance.

Who wants to be ignorant? We are supposed to be really smart people. We don’t believe in superstitious nonsense. We believe in God and adversarial politics where boys (and a couple of token women) yell at each other with sometimes well practiced hand gestures and intonations in their speech. We’re smart. We only fear being found out that we don’t know the answers already.

But that is what fear is. Finding out you don’t know the answers to the questions that present themselves experientially every day of our lives. Those who instil fear into others have ignored their ignorance for so long they are the most afraid of all.

When practicing Magick people see and hear many things that they do not understand and some, literally, go nuts. This is more so when drugs are induced to enable the experience. Drugs are unnecessary in Magick just as they are unnecessary (and obstructive) to enjoying great sex. Serious Magicians are not afraid of the unknown whatever form this comes in. Serious Magicians do not escape their humanity, they seek to experience it fully. Like Scientists of other disciplines, what they don’t understand one day they log and come back to when they have more of the pieces to the puzzle. The ‘question’ itself is a journey of discovery. Any initial ‘fear’ of the unknown has been experienced so many times over and over and over that had they reacted to it they would take up another past-time. ‘Fear’ becomes something different. It becomes a pathway towards learning. Fear is simply new pieces to the puzzle. Bringing the unknown into the known existence. Using our analogy, fear experiences enable us to move from touching the hotplate and hurting ourselves to becoming great cooks!

Yet those things that the scientist and the Magician encounter in their work would frighten many others into comatose! Those who use drugs to change their state of consciousness in order to investigate usually find it difficult to bring their experiences from one state into another. Like the dream that is not so real once we wake up. Scientists of Mind have documented a great deal (see Grof, Tart and others)about this challenge. The challenge is akin to that of the alcoholic who remains stuck in the state of consciousness amnesia, needing a drink to remember what it was they knew when they last had a drink!

But you can explore your own world yourself. Open up to your experiences. Open up to ‘fear’ in a way you have never opened up to it before and you will find that the most horrific demon is your ally – an apparition created by you to enable you to realise your own power of co-creation. You will know if it is coming from another person. There are those who seek to drain others of their energy. In fact most of us do this to other people, much of the time, in the normal course of our lives. (Read my article on Communication to see some of the ways we affect each other.)

We are connected in so many more ways than we imagine. Our individuality is coupled with a connection across all of us, and everything. Venusian Astrology allows us to have this journey because it comes complete with its own little areas where new 'logs' of experiences might fit. But even more importantly it embraces the whole human being, body, mind, spirit, soul through the composition of the elements, quadruplicities, planets, houses, aspects and signs as they interplay in a dynamic equilibrium of our universe.

So, now that we are embracing fear as an opportunity what do we do next time we are afraid?

If the title of this article hooked you in then you are more interested in what to do next time you think you have seen or spoken to a ghost, or have what you think might be a malevolent spirit possessing you, a loved one or your home. So let’s start here.

There are many possible explanations for what you are experiencing. Let’s safely say that none of us can be precisely sure what that is. However, experience has revealed to me that whatever it is it is worth looking into further rather than running away from. Even if it is what you might consider psychic attack. I was delightfully honoured with a visit by a couple of magicians in the guise of grotesque monsters who woke me up recently. Because I was half asleep the intrusion startled me, not the least because I felt that they had managed to drain my energy. I'm not sure how they did this 'party trick' of theirs but I eventually managed to centre myself and recharge. What is most interesting to me is how far I have come. Years ago such a 'game' would have frightened me severely knocking me off my balance for days or weeks, or keeping me raising my feet up onto the couch as you do when watching a scary movie. But I view this as confirmation that I have truly moved on from such stupid behaviour myself. Like the worst kind of boys clubs such behaviour is merely a power trip for those who particpate. Experiences of 'fear' come in many varieties with sometimes only subtle differences. Serious Magicians realise that the answers lie inside ourselves - always - regardless of the outder realities and/or intrusions.

Firstly, remember the hot plate. The objective is not to keep touching the hot plate and burning your hand. The objective is to learn something you don’t know yet and it is usually about yourself because your experiences change according to how you change internally. If you don’t give off an attraction to what you consider ‘evil’ then it won’t find you even if it is someone else’s ‘evil’ you perceive. You may not like hearing this but you actually have all the power you will ever need to be you. If you choose to keep touching the hot plate ignorantly then you will burn yourself and you might do such extensive damage that your hand will catch fire and your whole body may perish. Do you understand?

Take your hand away from the hotplate first. At an emergency scene you don’t run in and help until you first ascertain your own safety. No scientist will start shaking chemicals if there is a chance they will blow up in their face. Take responsibility.

Intention is everything and we are all energy beings. Energy creates holograms whatever they look or sound like. Scientific tests revealed that schizophrenic episodes correlated with interference to the part of the brain that was activated when sound is heard. Something, we don’t know what, is happening in these instances so even if you fear you may be mentally nuts at this point don’t count all your ‘sick chickens’ just yet. It might be that you aren’t nuts at all – just human.

So first of all isolate your own energy from that you perceive as 'not you' or 'evil' or 'foreign', or however you are fearing it at present. Use light from within your body and extend it outwards. As you extend it outwards see/feel it pushing out anything that has entered your aura. This might look like speckles or blobs of other colours. When you have managed to form a complete aura of bright light through you and around you, you will feel like you have just completed an exercise routine and you are centred and energized and happy. Once you know you are illuminated shield yourself within a hard shelled cobalt blue egg and breath easy. Now you feel your own power and you can deal with your own projections or those mixed with others’. If anything ‘gets in’ then simply repeat this exercise. Sometimes, people are practised at such combat and they piece their way in or sneak in. This is usually because you encourage the intrusion, so for the moment resist the urge to allow it in and keep it out. Nothing is forever. But for now this will give you the opportunity of discovery, with complete safety.

Keep vigilant with this exercise. It is your lab coat and your bullet proof vest. It is your space suit so that you can go where you haven’t been before, in safety, to enjoy what you are discovering. No matter how bad it seems, what you are seeing or feeling is actually something you have called to yourself for your own good. You are about to learn something. You are about to learn that ‘fear’ is a welcomed experience with rewards you can’t begin to realise until you’ve faced it several times.

You can also use hand gestures that associate with your own conscious such as the cabalistic cross as priests do when they bless people, or use of the pentagram to make a sacred circle for yourself, etc. But once these things are done do work directly on your own energy bubble as described above. This is about you being you - centred and whole and wilful.

Now, if the above is still not working for you it may be that you yourself are not actually inside your body. Are you frightened? Good. Another experience for you. Picture yourself coming back to your own centre and then do the above exercise again. Anything that was there instead of you will be forced out. You will feel a heavy feeling at first most likely. And there may be a struggle. Nothing you can’t handle. You’ll be fine. You’re probably pooing your pants in fear by this stage but persist because you will be better than fine, better than you have ever felt before afterwards. You are taking up your own gauntlet of responsibility for yourself.

Could it be that associations and conditionings of our culture have built to such an extent that all of us at some point are forced to live outside ourselves? The Shamans ‘bring back’ the pieces of our spirit from different events in our lives so that we can become whole. If you have some resonance with this path perhaps this might help you. Another interesting thing about working out if you are inside yourself or outside yourself is how you see colour. In the astral there are many colours and when becoming centred you do not see so many colours. If you see someone in colour holographically they may be astral projecting, or they may be permanently outside their bodies. Many spiritual people do not centre in their bodies because they do not value the human experience, or they are too ignorant to embrace the fear of life itself to actually live.

Ghosts and projections of living people are just energy. It may be that you can help them to ‘move on’ even if we don’t know exactly where we are ‘moving them on’ to. I have found it best to let them decide about the where. All we can do is help them to deal with their issues of ‘fear’ so that they can follow their paths. If we are genetically linked to our ancestors then there is no reason why we can’t harbour some of their spirits with us as well as their genetic code. Was there an energy that was so focused about them that it continues its own life? Some people believe in shared hosts and it may be that a living or dead relative can share your journey with you through you. Are you happy about this? If not then centre yourself and check your visitor(s). Help them to check themselves, whether they are a lost part of themselves or not. If all is energy then the tweaking of one part will cause a response in another. For more about this read quantum physics. Energy does not die. It just changes.

If our society opened up to questioning more then we would be able to move along from ignorant burnt hands to great cooks a lot faster. However, in the meantime, we are all a part of each other and ‘fear’ is a wonderful thing when we realise it really stands for find new experiences and recognise their wonder!

For the good of all and harm to none.
