with Jason Holley
Following his popular webinar series on the Signs in Myth and Psyche, Jason Holley presents a new series on the Planets in Myth and Psyche, starting with Venus.
Part 1: Understanding Venus Through Her Loves and Lovers
This webinar will develop a multidimensional perspective of Venus in our lives and relationships. Drawing from layers of Mesopotamian, Greek, and Roman myths of Venus and her many lovers, we will explore the desires, needs, and action urges that constellate when caught in the goddess’s irresistible magnetism and a variety of ways this can play out through Venus aspects natally, and by transit.
We will explore her relationships with the beautiful-yet-tragic Adonis, the old shepherd Anchises, and of course her famous relationship with Ares/Mars, as well as earlier stories of the Mesopotamian Innana and her lover Dumuzi. We will examine how these stories come alive in natal charts and through transits and synastry, discovering themes of eros, renewal, loss, attraction, repulsion, and desire that live in every sky and every person.
Part 2: Understanding Venus Through Her Passions and Possessions
In this webinar, we consider the Mystery of the Goddess, oldest of the Olympian gods, Love Herself, Mother of Eros and Tormenter of Psyche.
This webinar will develop another layer in the perspective on Venus as we explore Her relationship to Her many magical possessions: Her girdle, said to be the Milky Way itself and to contain “all things”; Her mirror; Her chariots of sea and air; the potions She owned and borrowed from other figures of myth such as Persephone; and the trees and fruits and seeds sacred to Her.
By exploring these sacred possessions as expressions of Soul, we will develop a deeper appreciation of the nature of Venus in the natal chart, and what her deepest preoccupations may be. How do each appear in our own lives, and where can our girded loins, our self-regard, our aesthetic sense, our self-care, lead us?
