VENUS/MOON GATE ♀ ☽ The Priestess Ritual Doorway 17th July 2026

Venus carries a frequency that softens the edges of the human experience. In her current Evening Star phase and transit through the mutable earth sign of Virgo, this is a much-needed balm for tender hearts and a timely reminder that divine love is a cosmic force that nourishes body, mind & spirit.

In classical mythology, Aphrodite/Venus is the goddess of beauty, love, sensuality and pleasure. The rose is one of her sacred symbols and represents her celestial dance. From perspective of the earth, the planet Venus traces a pattern in the sky that resembles the five-pointed star, the pentagram and also the flower of life. Venus is the brightest planet after the Sun and Moon and offers the gift of intuitive heart wisdom and emotional healing, which allows a movement through the pain of the past, with a deeper sense of embodied love.

As Venus meets the crescent moon and the South Node in Virgo tonight, it is a reminder that the presence of love is a choice of moving from the past into a new phase of expression for the present.

May your words be blessed & the magic strong as you journey through this potent ritual doorway!

Much love & magick from the deep wild woods …
