#Venus Direct: A Brush with Reality
#Astrology By Lauren

..."There is an old adage, that what might seem like a ‘great’ idea while Mercury is in its retrograde phase, will soon have its faults revealed by the time that Mercury is direct again. And so went the recent tariff war. I had been wistfully hoping that some of that might be rolled back, as it was rolled out during the retrograde… and so it has been. Somewt"...

Astrology By LaurenVenus Direct: A Brush with Reality — Astrology By LaurenThis week Venus makes its direct station on Saturday, the same day as the Full Moon in Libra, a Venus sign. Exactly conjunct Saturn and the North Node, once again, this is not your ordinary station of Venus, the planet of ‘money’, relationships, and alliances, as these are now all being reevaluated

..."At 8:22 pm EDT, the Moon will be full in the 24th degree of Libra, opposite Chiron. Just forty minutes later, Venus, the full moon’s guide, stations direct in Pisces in a new phase conjunction with Ceres and a balsamic conjunction with Saturn, the North Node, Mercury, and Neptune (out of sign, as Neptune i"...

Really epic image featured on @apod today!

Captured by AJ Smadi from Washington (state), in daytime skies (11:57am) on April 5th — the image shows ISS and the crescent of Venus.

The planning this would have taken to get right — very nice work!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

(I annotated the rough distances)

Small portion of daytime sky showing a bright crescent which is Venus and a blurry image of the ISS. The distances to both objects are annotated on top of the image.

The Kid Should See This 🌈🪐✨

💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: Did you know planets without tectonic plates still experience "earthquakes"? It's fascinating how seismic activity works across our solar system. 🪐🌋

#Venus has volcanic tremors, while #Mars quakes as its core cools. #Jupiter's moon Io is our favorite example—with 400 active volcanoes, it's constantly shaking from Jupiter's immense gravitational forces pulling on its crust.

Giambattista Tiepolo
An Allegory with Venus and Time
1754-58
Oil on canvas, 292 x 190 cm
National Gallery, London

One of my favourite pictures from London's National Gallery. I confess I often hold this picture in my mind's eye as a form of escapism -- an escape from strip malls, bloated SUVs, megachurches with fundamentalist PowerPoints punctuated by bad rock and extempore prayer, cargo pants,
presidential make up, the Hobby Lobby...

The image depicts a late baroque painting with an oval frame, featuringVenus seated on a cloud, draped in a white and pink cloth. She has long, flowing hair and is surrounded by various mythological figures. To her left, a winged male figure , perhps representing Time, holds a baby, while a cherub with wings and a bow is positioned below them. In the background, two white doves fly, and other figures, including cherubs, are present, some holding flowers. The scene is set against a soft, pastel-colored sky with clouds, creating a heavenly atmosphere. Provided by @altbot, edited by @jemmesedi

Venus and the Triply Ultraviolet Sun

This was a very unusual type of solar eclipse. Typically, it is the Earth's Moon that eclipses the Sun. In 2012, though, the planet Venus took a turn. Like a solar eclipse by the Moon, the phase of Venus became a continually thinner crescent as Venus became increasingly better aligned with the Sun. Eventually the alignment became perfect and the phase of Venus dropped to zero.

The dark spot of Venus crossed our parent star. The situation could technically be labeled a Venusian annular eclipse with an extraordinarily large ring of fire. Pictured here during the occultation, the Sun was imaged in three colors of ultraviolet light by the Earth-orbiting Solar Dynamics Observatory, with the dark region toward the right corresponding to a coronal hole. Hours later, as Venus continued in its orbit, a slight crescent phase appeared again. The next Venusian transit across the Sun will occur in 2117.
