Lilith embodies our SOVEREIGNTY to declare our desires and do what must be done in order to live them out. … She is the woman who refused to be dominated or defined by anyone or anything outside of her.

I was woken up early this morning from a deep sleep by Lilith to write this piece for you on the Venus Return. Unlike the Solar Return which most people are familiar with because it occurs every year on their birthday, the Venus Return occurs every 8 years. Your Venus Meta Goddess Overtone, as coined by Cayelin Casetell (Co-Founder of Venus Alchemy), may not be in the same sign where Venus was located at your time of birth. For instance, my Venus Meta Goddess Overtone is Scorpio, while my Natal Venus is Sagittarius. My Scorpion Goddess Overtone as the Alchemical Goddess Archetype informs my Sagittarian Goddess as the Seeker of Spiritual Truth Archetype, the aspect of the Sacred Feminine that I am learning to embody through this particular lifetime. Through this dynamic, I am constantly alchemizing myself and my knowledge into higher frequencies of Divine Wisdom (Sophia).
The reason Lilith wants me to write about the Venus Return is because She is an Embodiment of the Capricorn Goddess of Sovereignty, the Meta Goddess who is currently on the world stage. The Capricorn Goddess Journey was initiated in January this year. In fact, the Metamorphic Seed-Point wherein the Gemini Goddess of the last Venus Synodic Cycle was transformed into the Capricorn Goddess of our current Venus Synodic Cycle occurred within 2 hours of my Solar Return (exact time of birth) on January 8th!
I am getting ahead of myself, so I’m going to take a moment to go back to the very beginning of how I share the Venus Return.
Every eight years as Venus moves through the Sky, She creates the pattern of a Rose. Because Venus represents the Sacred Feminine, the Rose has become a symbol of the Mystery Schools that are devoted to the Sacred Feminine such as the Isis Mystery School and the Magdalene Mystery School. At the very center of the rose is the 5-pointed star, the Pentagram. The Pentagram is one of the most ancient symbols of the Sacred Feminine.
It takes Venus 19-months to move from one point of the Pentagram to the next point of the Pentagram. The astrological sign of the point that Venus is on or moving from is the Meta Goddess that is currently on the world stage. When you are born within that 19-month period, that Meta Goddess becomes your Venus Meta Goddess Overtone.
Our current Venus 8-year cycle began on November 1, 2018 when the Libra Relational Goddess came onto the world stage. Prior to the Libra Relational Goddess coming onto the world stage in 2018, this had been the point of the Scorpio Alchemical Goddess which had come onto the world stage on December 1, 1922. As I mentioned earlier, I was born when the Scorpio Alchemical Goddess was on the world stage. That period of time was from November 19, 1962 to June 25, 1964. I was born January 8, 1963 which falls between those two dates. Thus, when the Libra Relational Goddess came onto the world stage on November 1, 2018, I began my 7th Venus Return.
By looking at the image above, you can see that when the Libra Relational Goddess Synodic Cycle completed, the Gemini Rainbow Goddess came onto the world stage in June 2020. The Gemini Rainbow Goddess Journey completed in January 2022, and the Capricorn Sovereignty Goddess came onto the world stage. This is our CURRENT Venus Synodic Cycle Journey, and why Lilith, as an Embodiment of the Capricorn Sovereignty Goddess, has inspired me to share this Wisdom with you.
You may be aware that Capricorn is the sign of the Wisdom Keeper, the Tribal Elder and the Way Shower. I can already feel that Lilith is preparing us for something bigger down the road by initiating you into the Wisdom of the Venus Return. I am being covered in chills as I feel into the thrill and anticipation of what She has got lined up for us. Even I don’t know what it is yet; I can only feel that it is coming!
Okay!!! Moving forward!! Let’s look at the FOUR PHASES of the Venus Synodic Cycle:
For those of you who keep up with my YouTube videos, you may recall that I have mentioned on numerous occasions that the Magdalene Journey I took to Southern France occurred during the Inanna Underworld Phase. It was actually the Inanna Underworld Phase of the Libra Relational Goddess Journey. It also happened to be when Mars (Sacred Masculine) was in the Underworld as well. This synchronicity of BOTH Venus and Mars being in the Underworld at the same time only happens every 34 years! It was clear to myself and my Priestess Sister, Maureen – who was my roommate during the trip (and also having a Venus Return like me!), that we were destined to take the Magdalene Journey at that specific time. During our trip to France, we visited the Seat of Isis at Rennes-les-Bains where I experienced a SIGNIFICANT multi-dimensional attunement. I wrote about that in this blog post, The Aquarian Twin-Flame Archetype. I mention it again here because it was that attunement that brought about my Sacred Feminine classes on the Gemini Rainbow Goddess Journey, my Sacred Masculine classes on the Aries Fierce Protector Journey and now the hosting of the 2022 Galactic New Earth Project.
I would like to make a quick segue here before diving into the phases to invite you to consider watching the series of classes I did on the Gemini Rainbow Goddess. The reason I feel it can be very helpful to you is because Gemini is an Air Sign that has to do with the Realm of Consciousness. Currently, with the Capricorn Sovereignty Goddess Journey, Capricorn is an Earth Sign that has to do with the Realm of Manifestation. There is ALOT of Wisdom in the Gemini Rainbow Goddess classes about the Venus Synodic Cycle, the Sacred Feminine and The Second Coming of Christ as the Emergence of Sophia through Humanity that can be assimilated through your Realm of Consciousness to more fully support you in our current journey that is working with Realm of Manifestation. You can find those classes in the Sacred Feminine Library on my YouTube Channel. Remember, there is no such thing as time. Linear time is a construct of 3D. EVERYTHING is happening in the Eternal Now. So, when you go back and watch the classes on the Gemini Rainbow Goddess Journey, you are tapping into the Eternal Now and are PRESENT with us and the Cosmic Events we are discussing.
Getting back to the Phases: In the last phase of the Gemini Rainbow Goddess Journey, the Metamorphic Underworld Phase, the Gemini Rainbow Goddess was “morphed,” or rather transformed, into the Capricorn Sovereignty Goddess. This happened at the Metamorphic Seed Point when Venus and the Sun came together in the Sky. On January 14, 2022, Venus rose in the Morning Sky as the Capricorn Sovereignty Goddess at 15° Capricorn, beginning a new 19-month Venus Synodic Cycle.
Venus rising in the Morning Sky initiated the First Phase of the Venus Synodic Cycle known as the Morning Star Phase or “Descent Journey.” It was right after the Metamorphic Seed Point that I received a message from the Cosmic Sophia. She asked me to facilitate the 2022 Galactic New Earth Project. This is a FREE project for Humanity and Gaia (Earth). You can consciously contribute your LIGHT to ours as we do the monthly Installation of the Rose Gold Christo-Sophia Light Codes on our planet. Because this project requires all of my focus, I have taken a break from the Sacred Feminine classes I was offering. However, at this point, I plan to resume the Sacred Feminine classes with the Leo Divine Royalty Goddess Journey which will begin in August 2023. That is, of course, unless Sophia (or Lilith!) have other plans for me! LOL
The “Descent Journey” is a reference to Inanna’s Descent into the Underworld to meet her sister, Ereshkigal. The 19-month Venus Synodic cycle is usually presented as being aligned with the mythic tale of the Goddess Inanna’s Journey to the Underworld. Both Venus and Inanna are known as the Queen of Heaven. The Goddess Inanna’s story was discovered in the ancient Sumerian clay tablets. She is also known as Ishtar in Babylonia and Isis in Egypt. Some even relate her to Mary Magdalene ~one of the resurrectrix Goddesses.
However, through The Rose Wheel™ Mystery School’s work with the Gemini Rainbow Goddess, we discovered that the Myth of Inanna as a template for working with the Venus Synodic Cycle fell away during the Gemini Rainbow Goddess Inanna Underworld Phase. From the time of the Gemini Goddess’ Resurrection Point in the Inanna Underworld, The Rose Wheel™ Mystery School has been working with an Ascension Path for both the Sacred Feminine (Sophia) and the Sacred Masculine (Christ) which was downloaded to me after the Resurrection Point.
We are currently still in the Morning Star Phase of the Capricorn Sovereignty Goddess Journey, and we have recently (April 27th) had The Gate of Compassion (Heart Chakra) Activation. I am still actively and consciously working with the Venus Synodic Cycle. It has just taken the form of the Venus Temple Activations during the Capricorn Sovereignty Goddess Journey. Initially, I felt that the 2022 Galactic New Earth Project would only take place through the Morning Star Phase which will complete after The Death by Intent Gate (Earth Star Chakra) Activation on August 25th at 17° Leo. However, I was recently informed by the Cosmic Sophia that this is only “Phase I” of the Project and there will be a “Phase II” of the Project that will align with the 3rd Phase of the Capricorn Sovereignty Goddess Journey, the Evening Star Phase or “Ascent Journey.”
Between the final gate activation of the Morning Star Phase (1st of 4 phases) and the first gate activation of the Evening Star Phase (3rd of 4 phases), we will be in the Inanna Underworld Phase (2nd of 4 phases) again. Remember, this was the phase of the Libra Relational Goddess we were in when Maureen and I made our Magdalene Journey to France. I suspect ~ though I don’t know for sure ~ that whatever Lilith is cooking up for us will be related to the Capricorn Sovereignty Goddess Inanna Underworld Phase! This phase is marked by Venus’ disappearance from the Morning Sky ~ September 14th at 12° Virgo. Venus’ disappearance occurs when Venus is within 10° of the Sun. Venus will then travel through the Underworld until She meets up with Sun. Their conjunction is known as the Resurrection Point and will occur on October 22nd at 29° Libra 27′ – less than 1° from Scorpio.
The Evening Star Phase (3rd of 4 phases) of the Capricorn Sovereignty Goddess Journey or the “Ascent Journey,” along with Phase II of the 20222 Galactic New Earth Project, will begin when Venus appears in the Evening Sky on December 24, 2022 at 18° Capricorn (conjunct my own Natal Sun!), activating The Gate of Manifestation (Root Chakra).
The final (4th) phase of the Capricorn Sovereignty Goddess, the Metamorphic Underworld Phase, will begin August 6th, 2023. The Capricorn Sovereignty Goddess will be transformed into the Leo Divine Royalty Goddess on August 13, 2023 when Venus and the Sun come into Sacred Union (conjunction). The Leo Divine Royalty Goddess will rise in the Morning Sky on August 19, 2023 at 17° Leo, beginning an entirely new 19-month Venus Synodic Cycle, and initiating the Morning Star Phase (1st of 4 Phases) of the Leo Divine Royalty Goddess Journey!
Now that we have been through the 4 phases of the Venus Synodic Cycle, I imagine that you are anxious to learn more about your own Venus Meta Goddess Overtone and whether or not you are currently experiencing a Venus Return. The quick answer to whether you are in a Venus Return is to consider your age. Remember, a Venus Return occurs every 8 years, and so it coincides with your age in multiples of 8: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, 88, 96, 104.
Prior to 1974, the Capricorn Sovereignty Goddess was on the world stage as the Aquarian Meta Goddess. Thus, we could say that the Capricorn Meta Goddess “stands on the shoulders of” the Aquarian Meta Goddess. The Capricorn Meta Goddess encourages us to more fully embody our Multi-Dimensional Self (Aquarian Meta Goddess) and transcend the laws of physics to radically upgrade the blueprints we carry within and manifest without for our physical bodies, our cultural systems and our human structures. In this way, we collaborate with Life to ensure the next seven generations thrive as they remember Humanity is intrinsically connected to Gaia, and we are not separate from Her. The Cosmic Sophia as Divine Wisdom IS the Way Shower for our Capricorn Sovereignty Goddess Journey. And now, as we have become aware, Lilith has stepped up as a Way Shower for us as well.
It is important to understand that BOTH men and women have a Venus Meta Goddess Overtone. You have an Aquarian or Capricorn Meta Goddess Overtone if you were born during these time periods***:

I hope that Lilith has inspired you to become more intimate with your Sacred Feminine aspects by delving into the realm of the Venus Synodic Cycle. I know it can be a little bit overwhelming. Honestly, it took me months to get it straight in my head and begin to have clarity around it. I am STILL learning so much about the Queen of Heaven. I believe there will always be more to discover and experience!
Much love,
