We are falling into the darkening days, and Venus has also
gone ‘underground’, becoming invisible for the month of October, her
month.
We also have other major aspects that are all adding to a combustive
environment, all while throwing us lines to pull us through these tempestuous
times.
A couple days ago, I was told ‘time is going to speed up even more now’. How much more? I was shown telephone poles along the side of
a highway, as I sped by them in the car, I was told: ‘You are now in the
telephone pole stage, and the car is time speeding up. So, by comparison, we are only standing still
now.
What?
It already seems like I wake up, have my coffee, pray in the
garden visiting the new blooms while Joey walks around the perimeter doing his
job.
I love the fall crisp air, the freshness, the leaves turning a kaleidoscope of
gorgeous colours, that only AUtumn gifts to us.
There really is nothing like it.
Even the leaves are turning back into the earth, blanketing
the ground and doing their job of recycling, the great Re-Sourcerer showing us
who to work with the seasons, compost, and align with nature.
But I am told, we are going to start moving even faster in this, ‘Quickening’.
It’s not enough that the sun will now give us less light, every single day, until the ‘three days’ when he begins to stay out a little longer for us, starting on the Winter Solstice, December 21st, 2026, at 3:50PM EST, when we once again hit the Cardinal Sign of Capricorn.
Then, we the Light of our daytime sky, will begin to give us a little more sunlight, on Mon, Dec 22nd sunrise is at 7:50:21 am and sunset is at 5:00:35 pm 09:10:14 of daylight or gaining 1 second of sunlight.
But wait, there’s more!
Venus as we told you last, has become invisible in the Nightsky, October 1, 2026 Venus set behind the Sun in Scorpio, and
she will be invisible until October 30, 2026. Her entire retrograde period is about 40
days.
Okay as we have told readers many times now, when Venus is invisible, or in her
‘dark’ phase for 40 days, this is so many other mythological stories, when there
is a decent into the underground or Hades.
The imagery comes from the Sumerian/Babylonian
myth of Inanna (Ishtar), goddess of love and fertility, who descends into the
Underworld ruled by her sister Ereshkigal, giving up her possessions at seven
gates before being reborn. (Just
as we will see Venus being reborn).
Long before this, we know in the Pistis Sophia, that she
also goes into what is called, the Long Fall — Sophia's Thirteen Repentances
and the Rescue of the Light
Sophia has fallen from the thirteenth Aeon into the chaos below. An arrogant, lion-faced power — having stolen a portion of her divine light — has driven her to the uttermost depth. She cannot ascend. She cannot be silent. She sings thirteen hymns of grief and repentance, each one beginning O Light of Lights — and each time, Jesus descends again to rescue her. The Pistis Sophia is Gnosticism's most sustained account of what it costs the divine feminine to fall into the world, and what it demands of the divine masculine to bring her home.
Just as we saw Orpheus (a musician) descend into Hades to rescue Eurydice:
She died from a snake bite while in the forest, and Orpheus descended to the Underworld to plead for her return. Orpheus divine music transcends the darkness and upon hearing, Hades wept and allowed Eurydice’s return on the condition that Orpheus walk ahead and not look back until they left the Underworld. Orpheus broke this rule, and Eurydice was left trapped in the Underworld.
But we see in both instances given (there are many) it is music
that is the remedy.
Here is Sophia’s song:
"O Light of Lights, I have transgressed in the emanations;
I am fallen into the chaos of the world.
Save me, O Light, from the lion-faced power."
— Pistis Sophia, First Repentance (Codex Askewianus, 3rd–4th
century CE)
The Pistis Sophia in the Gnostic Transmission
We also see that the ‘40’ days is a repetitive theme biblically.
In the Bible, 40 days often symbolize periods of
testing, trial, preparation, or divine action, appearing in both the Old and
New Testaments.
Key Biblical Examples
The Flood: God caused it to rain for 40 days and 40 nights to cleanse the earth of wickedness, sparing only Noah, his family, and the animals on the ark (Genesis 7:12)
Moses on Mount Sinai: Moses spent 40 days and nights receiving the Ten Commandments and communing with God, fasting without food or water (Exodus 34:28)
Spying Canaan: The Israelite spies explored the Promised Land for 40 days before reporting back (Numbers 13:25)
David and Goliath: Goliath taunted Israel for 40 days before David confronted him (1 Samuel 17:16)
Elijah’s Journey: The prophet traveled 40 days and nights to Mount Horeb, where he encountered God in a gentle whisper (1 Kings 19:8)
Jonah’s Prophecy: Jonah warned Nineveh that the city would be destroyed in 40 days if they did not repent (Jonah 3:4)
Jesus in the Wilderness: After His baptism, Jesus fasted and was tempted by Satan for 40 days and nights (Matthew 4:2)
Post-Resurrection Appearances: Jesus appeared to His disciples over a period of 40 days before ascending to heaven (Acts 1:3)
So, we see many examples that repeat this Venus cycle of ‘going underground’…temptation, learning discernment between the false light and the genuine light of God.
Now let’s return to Sophia: (Sophia means ‘wisdom’)
The False Light — Authades's Trap
the archon's deception
A lion-faced self-willed power (Authades, "the Arrogant
One") crafts a simulacrum of divine light to draw Sophia downward. She
pursues what she believes is the Light of Lights, but it is a trap. This
counterfeit light is the central image of Gnostic epistemology: the world as a
forgery of the divine, compelling precisely because it imitates what is real.
The Chaos — Below the Twelve Aeons
the material prison
Sophia falls into the chaos — the formless darkness beneath the twelve lower Aeons. The lion-faced power and the material Archons surround her and take away portions of her light-power, leaving her in grief, humiliation, and exile. She is trapped not by physical walls but by her own depleted luminosity: she lacks the light-power needed to re-ascend.
The Thirteen Repentances — Sophia's Return Path
Sophia does not ascend at once. She sings thirteen repentances — addressed to the Light of Lights, acknowledging her transgression, naming her anguish, and crying for rescue. After each hymn, Jesus descends to restore some of her light. The return is graduated, earned through sustained penitential recognition, not instant rescue. Each restoration strengthens her enough to repent again at a higher register.
Isis descends into the underworld to revive and rescue Osiris (who was killed by Set) (Setting sun).
Once Osiris is made whole, Isis conceives his son and rightful heir, Horus. (Hours).
So, we see a redundant theme, and these are but a few
examples.
Thus, we are in our own descent into the darkness.
We must put those pieces of ourselves back
together, after we find all the pieces scattered in the UNDERGROUND, in the
darkness.
We cannot escape this profound period of time, and as we
shared with you in the past posts, there are MANY astrological aspects converging
in this month of October. A clue can be found
in commonalities, one major salient point is facing ‘falsehoods’ and going
through trials, PASSIONS to repair through love, aspects of ourselves that we
may have buried or not loved.
It is ‘judgment’ of ourselves, that we must both face and forgive.
Finally, let me add that Pluto ruler of the underground (Hades) also is the REVEALER. Pluto is your POWER.
Once you face the darkness and your own darker aspects, and you name and heal them, you can return to the LIGHT with the POWER, you buried.
Where is Pluto in your own chart?
Where is transiting Pluto now?
He is opposing Mars in Leo from his retrograde position in Aquarius.
Squaring Venus retrograde in Scorpio.

Waking The Deep: Search results for Eurydice
Also, notice the descent is to put pieces of their ‘other’ half back together, to reassemble ‘the twin flame’, this has been greatly distorted in the relatively recent tropes and stories about the ‘twin flame’ as some unattainable perfect lover. It usurps the true gnosis, the stories depict.
This is YOU.
It is not actually, another at all.
This is a repetitive story (much like what was outlined in, ‘Alchemy of the Soul, the Arc of the Ancients’) about our quest in this human body.
This is about you RE-MEMBER-ing who you are, and putting the pieces back together in alchemical fashion, through the trials and perils on this earthly plain, the heat and fires of transformation that only comes through living into the WORD the LOGOS. The Fiery Waters, THE HOLY SPIRIT.

BECOMING THE LIVING WORD OF GOD.
Venus was last retrograde in Scorpio in 2018, starting on October 6th at 10°49’ of Scorpio until November 15th after travelling back to 29°15’ Libra.
We can look back to that time frame, for clues as to what this journey might entail, however, there are many other aspects and planetary positions that are not the same. Because this one is another spiral around the sun with different perspectives. It still gives us clues as to the theme and the underbelly we may be revisiting, giving us a deeper dive into finding the buried aspects of the soul that we may not have found to help us ILLUMINATE this darkness.
Importantly, we begin in Scorpio, while Pluto is opposing Mars (see charts), both rulers of Scorpio. In 2018, Mars and Pluto had recently made a conjunction on April 26th at 21°17’ Capricorn. The Cardinal Cross, and this time, Pluto at 03°06’
Aquarius and Mars at the same degree in Leo, the FIXED CROSS.
Mercury at the time of this Mars and Pluto opposition is forming a ‘handle’ at 3° Scorpio, showing us, Communication and travel can also be highlighted.
Our words can come back to haunt us. They can also come back to lift us, in this reevaluation you might find that you have helped others through your words. Concurrently, we can look at the power of words being used by those in the media, in politics or anywhere on the world stage.
Words are important. S-WORDS
SWORDS, words can cut like a knife, especially in Scorpio.
Mars cuts and in Scorpio (Pluto) they cut deeply.
Some people seem to have more armor deflecting these cuts, they don’t take them to heart. Other people, not so much. Deeply sensitive people can go down for the count.
Some people numb themselves to the world, and stuff emotions, pain, trauma deep into the underbelly, the UNDERWORLD, the subconscious and these people can be affected by this transit to a greater extent.
All of a sudden, the true pent up anger can come out like a trebuchet has been released, and heaven help you if you are on the receiving end of such wrath.
(The seven powers of wrath)
The 7 POWERS OF DARKNESS Gospel of Mary Magdalene
1. DARKNESS: EVERYTHING THAT IS REAL IS HIDDEN.
Reality is hidden. GNOSIS (Pluto)
2. Desires/Craving/worldly pleasures
a. Material things, power, sugar, addictions, lust, greed, ambition.
3. Ignorance
a. Lack of understanding or knowledge (GNOSIS)
4. The Excitement of Death: Longing for oblivion
a. Switching off what we don’t like
5. KINGDOM OF THE FLESH: Enslavement to the demands of the body
a. The body can distract us from spiritual pursuits, by looks, appearance, superficial traps of this world.
6. FOOLISH WISDOM OF THE FLESH. Foolish worldly wisdom
7. WRATHFUL WISDOM: Hot-tempered certainty of anger (Mars)
a. MYSTICAL UNDERSTANDING of ‘WISDOM’, which is Sophia, The Divine Feminine.
18) When the soul had overcome the third power, it went upwards and saw the FOURTH POWER, which took seven forms. ~ Gospel of Mary
1. The first form is DARKNESS,
2. the second DESIRE,
3. the third IGNORANCE
4. the fourth is the EXCITEMENT OF DEATH
5. the fifth is the KINGDOME OF THE FLESH,
6. the sixth is the FOOLISH WISDOM OF THE FLESH.
7. the seventh is the WRATHFUL WISDOM.
These are the seven powers of wrath.
End of Gospel of Mary
If you have any planets in the Fixed Cross: Leo, TAUrus, Aquarius, or Scorpio (especially in this instance, Scorpio) you may feel this very deeply.
As we descend into the depths of Pluto how we commit, how we truly connect to another or others, plural, what we give, what we receive including investments, ‘what do we invest in others contrasting what we are ABLE OR ALLOW ourselves to receive, the return on what we may not have acknowledged was an INVESTMENT. What INSURANCE were we given? Was it just something in our own minds that went unsaid and thus, we are disappointed on the return of our investment?
What were our expectations?
Then as Venus regresses back into Libra on October 25th, we are given the chance to make peace, to harmonize these perceived slights or imbalances (on our own personal ledger).
Ultimately, we find that taking back our POWER, means an honest assessment of the agreements we make and those expectations.
If you are floating around thinking you are without fault, you are not living in reality. You might find that this time can be upsetting because of YOUR EXPECTATIONS, THAT YOU HAD ULTERIOR MOTIVES, (UNSPOKEN) and that can be festering.
This can be a general ‘VICTIM’ mentality, the ‘why me’ and in Libra, it becomes ‘this is not fair!’
A victim cannot be VICTORIOUS.
Claim your POWER, by claiming your own participation or RESPONSE-ABLE actions.
Yes, this time can be overwhelming and even horrifying (UNLESS YOU ARE LIVING IN AVOIDANCE) or in some version of SPIRITUAL HIJACKING.
Or are just not sensitive, or compassionate.
Psychopath’s can flourish while other people face difficulties, and no this does not mean you are spiritually evolved at all, you haven’t integrated true spiritual teachings, not the fluffy ‘don’t give that any attention’ spate of teachings by those gurus who are all more recently being EXPOSED, including many being involved in the Epstein files, like Deepak Chopra and so many others, as many are now disclosing, such as Lissa Rankin.
In the recently released documentary, about NXIVM, the participants reveal a great deal about the abuse, by cult leader, Keith Raniere.
Innocent spiritual seekers got caught up in this ‘CULT’ (This is totally Pluto which rules the mob and in Aquarius, reveals the group mind, hijacking).
Leo the LEADER who has created his own royal throne of worship.
Who makes this documentary?
The Vow, Mark Vicente
Director, Producer, Writer
The award-winning Writer/Director/Cinematographer Mark Vicente was part of the creative team behind the sleeper hit "What The Bleep Do We Know?!" Based on the ‘Secret’, and he has since retracted a lot of what was included as ‘truth’ in the movie, as his own journey revealed so much more of what he didn’t understand. Other members of NXIVM, have also come forward and shared their own seduction into both The Secret and NXIVM, and how that hijacked their own spiritual and life journey.
We’ve revealed our own misgivings and discovery from research on the topic, the initial seeds of this ‘spiritual hijacking’ coming largely from Esther and Jerry Hicks, who I found out met at Amway. (Amway is another rabbit hole, regarding the DeVos family, who founded Amway.
All tangled up and dark, when you bravely trek into the background that forms the stories, and you hear many say we are creating our own stories.
If you don’t do the research yourself, you can easily become a victim of the stories being told, as the participants in NXIVM, reveal both in the documentary as well as in interviews they have given on recent podcasts.
We can also see the opposition to beliefs in the current political environment.
On one side, we can say, THEY’ don’t see the truth that is right in front of them, but the ‘OTHER’ side quickly reveals themselves to hold the same perspective. Binary thinking is the key.
