My Journey with Fire Goddess Sekhmet!
Do you want to Journey with her too? - Sunday 13th August 8pm
Back in July 2020 I was called to begin working with the energy of Egyptian Goddess Sekhmet (pronounced Sec-met) and asked my friend who lived in Egypt to bring me home a statue of her (thanks Gemma). Well, she did and on the 8th of August 2020 (what’s known to some as the 8:8 Lions Gate Portal) I was gifted the Sekhmet statue.
Sekhmet is the warrior lion-headed solar goddess in the Egyptian pantheon, daughter of the Sun God Ra, also known as ‘She Who Is Powerfu’, so represents strength and leadership. However, just as all energies have a dual nature, Sekhmet is no different… she is not only the patron of physicians and healers but also the goddess of war, chaos, plague, and the searing mid-day sun called Nesert – or the flame. In this aspect, she is the courageous, warrior, feminine energy, fierce protector, and defender of the principles of Ma’at (justice and balance). Some say that Sekhmet is the original astrological sign of Leo and if you were born between July 29 - August 11 or from October 30 - November 7, you are under Sekhmet in Egyptian Astrology.
Well that night two years ago, Sekhmet showed herself to me in the flames of the fire I was tending to and I managed to capture it on camera (see in post). Since she made such a miraculous appearance and was coming through to me so strongly that night I decided to check my birth chart only to find transit asteroid Sekhmet at exactly 0 degrees of Leo (conjunct with my Natal Jupiter who represents the higher mind). I just bloody love how astrology further confirms and validates my insights, inner knowing, and mysticism.
Anyway, the fire goddess has come forth yet again, this time the day Venus went retrograde at 28 degrees of Leo (on Sunday 23 July 2023). Venus retrogrades only occur every 18 months when the goddess of love herself retraces her steps, traveling back over degrees of the zodiac she has already been… why this time is synonymous with the possibility of hearing from your ex either physically in person or in dream time! Sparks can reignite and reconciliation can occur, however, its deeper purpose is to find closure and to heal from old wounds that may still be hindering how you react and behave in current relationships. Therefore, over the following 6 weeks (or 40 days and 40 nights – a sacred number in many cultures) we get to redo, reevaluate, and rebirth the way we do love and relationships, if and how we value ourselves, and our beliefs around money and finances. Therefore, Venus in Leo is even more potent because Leo represents the heart, who we really are, and how we creatively express that unique self… our individuality and authenticity. So this Venus retrograde is all about our relationship with ourselves!
Of course, all relationships act like mirrors and we learn so much about ourselves through our interactions with others… who we think and believe we are, our levels of self-love and self-worth ultimately influence what people we draw to us and how they treat us!
Sekhmet is therefore coming forward to offer me strength and courage on my vision quest back into my heart… she also wants to help you too and for me to be her channel.
After checking my birth chart today, again my knowing is confirmed because transit asteroid Sekhmet will exactly conjunct my North Node tomorrow! The North Node in your birth chart represents your destiny and guiding light!
So Sekhmet, I am listening and I am willing for you to be my guiding light through this Venus Retrograde!
In her honour I would also like to offer you the chance to work with her also during this period, therefore, I am going to hold a guided 30-minute journey/meditation/activation with Sekhmet on Sunday 13th of August at 8pm (UK time) on Zoom, cost £8.88.
On Sunday 13th August firstly transit Sekhmet crosses my ascendant (an important point in a birth chart) and secondly and most importantly, Venus meets with the Sun (Inferior Conjunction) signifying the start of a new Venus Cycle where the goddess (that also means the goddess within you) is reborn with a Leo overtone.
Venus cycles repeat every 8 years in the same area of the sky (minus 1 degree) so only occur in the sign of Aries, Gemini, Leo, Scorpio, and Capricorn over a hundred-year period. Therefore, the last Leo cycle to take place was in 2015, before that 2007, 8 years prior, and so on so similar themes can repeat from these times.
So Sekhmet… the ancient and feminine Leo goddess wants to play a part in this renewal at a time when the divine feminine energy is like never before making a comeback and helping to bring balance to an overly yang world!
If you are interested to take part please comment on this post and I will organise the event and add a payment option to my website. I look forward to hearing from you!
Sparkly love Emma xxx
