Descent of the Queen: Gate 3

The gorgeous conjunction of Venus with a waning crescent Moon, visible in the eastern morning sky on Tuesday June 24 2014, at dawn, symbolizes the 5th of 7 steps or gates on a journey of purification, discipline and self-examination which lasts thru the summer. Gary relates this step to the transcendent side of Mars, which is about individuation and related to our needs for achievement. Gary explains how the Mars-Uranus opposition and Mars' conjunction to the bright blue star Spica are informing these needs.
