The Radiant Queen
The Third Gate of Descent
November 9, 2023: Venus meets with the moon in Libra
Venus descends in the morning sky, shining as Morning Star. She meets with the moon at the 5th Chakra gate.
Venus continues Her journey, meeting once again with the moon. She comes to the third gate. As we embody her journey, our bodies the night sky, we descend from the sixth chakra of knowing to the fifth chakra of expression. Down, down, from the point between our brows to our throats, our voice, our stories, our truths. And our lies. Venus comes to the third gate and meets the Gatekeeper. She must shed her necklace, Her adornment that proclaims who she is. She stands before the Gatekeeper and listens.
The Gatekeeper Speaks
How do you express what is true? Do you express what is true? Even non-expression is expression, in the same way that not choosing is making a choice. There is no way to not express. What are you expressing?
Radiant Queen, you are used to being in the limelight, to holding to your lines. You know the backstory, and know how to play your part well. You are used to embellishing the truth, to tell a good story, to yourself, to others. You know how to highlight only certain details in order to fashion a storyline that keeps to your narrative. That’s not really being dishonest, is it? Or perhaps it is. What details are left out of the stories you express?
What do you express when you think you aren’t expressing? What stories to you tell yourself, over and over, like a favorite bedtime tale? How do you reinforce the image you are trying to hold? Are you ready to release the script, to drop the image, to be what is true? Are you willing? How do you express what is true?
