Libra Season: Channel Venus with Me!

Grab your journal and get ready to do some Planet Channeling together! In this episode of I Talk to Planets, I guide you through an embodiment, Venus visualization, and Venus channeling prompts. Venus is the perfect planet to chat with when you have questions about relationships, money, possessions, pleasure, life balance, appearance, creativity, or self-love.

During Libra season 2025, Venus will be in Virgo and then in Libra. These are two very different expressions of Venus, and you’ll get two very different perspectives or answers to your question. I encourage you to do this Planet Channeling practice twice, once while Venus is in Virgo and once while Venus is in Libra. Have fun!

Transcript

Hey, Astro Lover. Welcome back to I Talk to Planets. This is your host, Claire Gallagher. I am so excited about today's episode because we're doing something very different and experimental. We're gonna do some live real time planet channeling together. I'm thinking about maybe doing this once a month if I like it, and if you like it.
But essentially we're gonna drop in together, we're gonna do a visualization, we're gonna channel together, and then I might share a little bit about what I got in my channeling session. If you don't know, planet Channeling is what this podcast is all about. It is my spin on automatic writing. It's a visualization and journaling technique where you turn your natal planets into guides and you talk to them as easily as you're talking to your best friend.
It's a really simple technique, but it does take some getting used to. There are [00:01:00] some deeper instructions on how to do it, which I can't go over today, but I have a whole free webinar on how to Planet Channel, and you can access that@astrologywithclear.com slash clarity. That's astrology with CIR e.com/clarity.
All right, for today's episode, you're probably gonna wanna be in a quiet space, although. I have done plenty of planet channeling at cafes and airports and all sorts of things, so it depends on where you're at with your practice, but you're definitely gonna need a smooth writing pen and a journal or some scrap paper.
If you love this episode, you're going to really love my Planet Channeling community, which is called the So Below Society. If working one-on-one with me in Guided is out of reach right now, the So Below Society is the next best thing. It is a really small group at the moment, and so you can get a [00:02:00] lot of one-on-one attention from me and.
It's just my favorite place ever. If you think planet channeling is cool, one on one, like on your own, it's double cool. Ultra cool with a group, so. If you wanna check that out, it's at astrology with claire.com/so below Society, all one word. And in the So Below Society, I do a monthly forecast video. I give you monthly planet channeling prompts based on the current astrology.
We do Live Planet Coch channeling together, and there's a community portal where you can get to know each other and ask me questions. So again, if you wanna join the So Below Society, it's really accessible and affordable, you can head to astrology with clear.com/so below Society to learn more.
Okay, before we get into our channeling session four today, I do need to give you a little astrological background. Now in the So Below Society in the monthly [00:03:00] Forecast videos, which I like to call now Cass, I go in depth with the astrology highlights for each week of the month, and I give you a planet channeling, visualization and prompt for each week based on that week's astrology.
For this episode, we're just doing a taste, so I just picked one highlight for the entirety of Libra season. So if you want more of this, again, the so below society is where you wanna be. Now if you're listening to this episode after Libra season 2025 ends, that's totally okay. You can still do this planet channeling practice and connect with Venus through this episode.
So planet channeling isn't just a way to interpret your natal chart, although that's what I do one-on-one with my clients. It's also a way to get guidance from the real time planets as they travel through various zodiac signs and various houses in your personal birth chart. And as planets [00:04:00] move into Zodiac signs that they might be really strong in or really weak in, they have different insights and different perspectives to share with you.
They also have different skillsets and different gifts for you to rely on and use. Now this is Libra season. So in this episode, we're focusing on the ruler of the Sign of Libra, which is the planet Venus, and that's who we're gonna connect with today. Now if you've watched my webinar, which you can access@astrologywithclear.com slash clarity, you know that you wanna pick the right planet for the job.
So if we're coming with a specific topic or a specific question, there's some criteria that we need to, or questions that we need to think about to help us determine which planet is the right planet to ask the question. Now I go into depth about that, uh, one-on-one and guided, but also in the webinar.
[00:05:00] But today I'm gonna, you know, tell you what Venus is really good at giving us insight about. Now Venus excels at a few topics and they are relationships and. It doesn't have to be romantic relationships, but that is definitely one of Venus's premier areas, but also other intimate one-on-one connections, like with clients, if you work one-to-one with clients or if you have a business partner or somebody else that you work really closely with.
Venus is also really good at giving you insight about your money and your possessions, so the stuff that you own, especially precious things that are important to you. Venus is also a really great planet to ask if you need guidance or you have questions or concerns about your personal appearance and your grooming.
So everything from fashion to jewelry, to hair, like [00:06:00] all like to self-care. Your your 10 step face plan, skin plan. I don't even, I don't even say that, right? I said face plan, it's skincare, you know what I mean? Maybe you don't like me. So anyway, appearance and grooming is another Venus topic. And then Venus also loves to talk with us about leisure pleasure in having fun as well as anything artsy.
So if you are an artist, if you're a musician, if you are a creative in any way and you're feeling stuck or you want direction on your next creative project, Venus is a great planet to ask. Venus is also a planet that's about harmony and balance, and so I like to talk to Venus if I have questions about work life balance.
It's a really good planet to chat with when you want to kind of smooth out your schedule, smooth out your days, and have them flow in a way that feels [00:07:00] more pleasant. Venus is also excellent to talk to if you have concerns about self-worth or self-love. And last but not least, in your personal birth chart, Venus rules some very specific topics.
Now, Venus rules the signs of Libra and Taurus, and so in your birth chart, whatever houses one through 12. That Libra and Taurus occupy in your chart. Venus rules those topics. So for example, I'm a Sagittarius rising, and in my chart, Taurus occupies the sixth house. And Libra occupies the 11th house where my midheaven also is.
So if I wanna talk to a planet about my daily routine, maybe if I'm not feeling very well, I wanna talk to the ruler of my sixth house, which would be Venus. And if I wanna talk about friendships or [00:08:00] groups or communities, or maybe career, since my midheaven is also in Libra, I would wanna talk to Venus. So check your chart, see where Taurus and Libra are, and what topics those houses represent.
And that's a very specific way you can connect with Venus. Okay. In Libra season 2025, Venus is gonna be in two very different Zodiac signs. It's starting out in the sign of Virgo and it's gonna end up in the sign of Libra, and this is very different situations for Venus. So just to give you some hard dates, Venus moved into Virgo on September 19th.
That was just a couple days prior to Libra season officially started, and it's going to finish up its time in Virgo on October 13th. Venus is gonna move into Libra starting October 13th, [00:09:00] and it's going to reach into Scorpio season and end its time in Libra on November 7th, or excuse me, sixth. Now here's the thing.
Here's why Virgo and Libra are so different for Venus. Venus is in the sign of its fall when it's in Virgo, or said in an, that was a weird way to say it. You could say Virgo is the sign of Venus's fall. Whereas Libra is one of the signs of Venus's rulership. So in plain English, Virgo is a place where Venus struggles.
Wow. Typically, whereas Libra is a place where Venus shines typically. So when it comes to planet channeling for Libra season 2025, when we're connecting with Venus, we're gonna get really different answers depending on which version of Venus we're connecting [00:10:00] with. Now while Venus is in Virgo from September 19th to October 13th, it'll not only be in fall, which is a weak position for Venus, it'll be dancing with the South node and with Saturn.
The south node is a really agitating point in the sky. It's very depleting. It's a place of release and letting go and Saturn is a hard spot. Usually it's a roadblock. It's a slowing down. It's a simplification. It's a saying. No, it's a doing less. And so not only is Venus going to be in a sign that is a little difficult for it already, it's gonna be dancing with some, a planet and a point that are also challenging.
So this version of Venus, when you connect with it via planet channeling Venus and Virgo is more about letting things go, clearing things out. [00:11:00] Simplifying things and resetting Venus things. So resetting a relationship, resetting your work life balance, letting go of things in your grooming routine that aren't working, and that could be literal, like getting rid of old clothing and taking it to goodwill or cleaning out your makeup drawer, that kind of stuff.
It's about making space for something new. That's what this version of Venus is about. And again, the dates for that are September 19th through October 13th. The newness is not here yet. It's an act of faith really to make space for this new thing that is on the horizon, but hasn't quite arrived. Now Venus will move into Libra and have a very different perspective, very different situation.
From October 13th to November [00:12:00] 6th, this is again one of the signs of Venus's rulership, which means it's at home, it's comfortable, and it has all that it needs to do. Its very best work. Venus and Libra. It really values equality in relationships, fairness in relationships and justice. It wants everyone to have equal access to beauty, to resources, to love and affection.
It's going to be in Libra for a little less than five weeks if I'm doing my math right off the top of my head, and this is a great time for making new connections, repairing old connections that need some TLC. Or for intentionally upgrading the Taurus and Libra parts of your birth chart. All right, so that's a little bit of the backstory.
And the reason I wanted to give you that is because I actually want you to go [00:13:00] through this planet channeling session twice. Yes. I want you to replay this podcast. I want you to do this activity once with Venus and Virgo, so anytime between today and October 13th and once with Venus and Libra, which will be October 13th through November 6th, because you're gonna get.
Very different perspectives about the topic that you bring to Venus, and when we get to the prompts in just a little while, I've given you slightly different prompts for each version of Venus. They're actually reverses of each other, so they're very similar, but they're kind of inside out. Okay, so let's get ready for planet channeling.
What you're gonna need again, is a journal, a smooth writing pen, or maybe some scrap paper. Especially if this is your first time planet channeling, I highly recommend just some loose leaf paper. I want you to take a minute to check in with yourself and pick the topic [00:14:00] that you're most interested getting insight on.
And again, this is a Venus topic, so I'm gonna list out the options. Again, it could be relationship, it could be money or stuff. Possessions. It could be your appearance or personal grooming. It could be fun and pleasure, art and creativity, harmony in life, like work-life balance, self-love or self-worth. And if you wanna personalize it, it could be the Taurus or Libra House topics in your chart.
And I'm also gonna throw in whatever house Virgo occupies, especially if you are doing the Venus and Virgo version today. So this is what's gonna happen. Just so you're aware, I am about to lead you through a drop-in, which is very similar to a meditation or an embodiment practice. Then that's gonna transition into a visualization of Venus.
And then I'm gonna stop talking [00:15:00] and play some music while we Planet Channel together. I'm gonna play three songs, so it's gonna be about 12 to 15 minutes of music. If you need more time than that, just. Press pause and if you hate the music, just fast forward to the end and also press pause and then afterwards don't go anywhere, come back.
There's still more podcasts after the music. I'm gonna share a little bit about what Venus said to me and my planet channeling, and then talk about what to do from here. The prompts that I'm gonna give you verbally are written out in the show notes beneath this episode. So make sure you open the episode details so you can jot the prompts down.
All right. Are you ready? I'm ready. Let's do this.
Take a minute as we start to just get comfortable in the space around you. Look in front of you. [00:16:00] Look behind you, above you side to side, and turn your head fully so that you can see you're safe in this space. This is a safe space to planet channel to drop in. This is just signaling to your nervous system that it's okay to downshift.
Now take a minute to notice the points of contact between you and the piece of furniture or maybe the floor that is supporting you and make any micro adjustments that you need to make until you find a resting posture that's comfortable.
Venus is a planet that brings softness. And relaxation. So as you scan through your body, maybe head to toe, bring the intention of softening. So maybe you start with your [00:17:00] eyes and you bring softness to the eye sockets and the tiny muscles surrounding the eyes. Maybe you move down to the jaw and you bring softness and openness to the jaw.
And continue this pattern all the way down through the front of your neck, your chest, your shoulders, your hands, your belly, bringing softness and openness to all these areas. Again, this is the action of Venus or the non-action, if you will, bringing some softness into the hips,
the upper legs, the space behind the knees, [00:18:00] the lower legs, the ankles and feet.
Take a moment to wiggle your toes,
connecting with the earth beneath you, feeling fully supported and present in time and space here now.
And now begin to imagine or visualize your energetic container around you. It might take the shape of an egg or an oval, and it's about an arm's length around you on all sides above and below. Back to front, side to side, diagonally. And take a minute to just ensure that this space is closed, not in a [00:19:00] claustrophobic way, in a integrity way.
This is your space. It's not open to other people's energy or thoughts or feelings. This is just for you. So patch up any holes in your space. And then choose an element, fire, air, earth, or water to cleanse the inside of your container, magnetizing any energy that doesn't belong to you, and releasing it through an imaginary drain at the bottom.
And when that feels complete, wiggling your toes again, dropping imaginary roots from the bottoms of your feet into the core of the earth. Really feeling fully here, fully present, fully contained in [00:20:00] your body. In a way that feels safe and alive and full.
And from this embodied space, we're gonna start connecting with the planet Venus. And you can imagine maybe the crown of your head opening slightly, maybe a light beam reaching up into the heavens towards Venus. Maybe that light beam has a color. A shape a feeling. Just allow whatever's coming up organically to come up.
There is no wrong and no right.
Invite Venus into the scene and perhaps Venus takes on a form of a character. I am gonna list a few options, but again, allow whatever is coming up to come up organically. [00:21:00] Maybe you are arriving at an art studio or a gallery, and Venus is taking the form of artist or curator. Maybe you're arriving to a concert in a park or a garden, and Venus is taking the shape of the musician.
Or a dancer, maybe you're arriving at a fashion show or a boutique, and Venus is taking the form of a designer. Maybe you're showing up to a party or a brunch or a picnic, and Venus is taking the form of a trusted best friend. Maybe you're showing up to a comfy couch and Venus is showing up as a romantic partner.
These are just a few ideas of [00:22:00] place and character that Venus might show up in and take form as, but again, allow whatever is coming up to come up. Take a minute to feel your surroundings. When we're talking to Venus, we're usually in a place that is plush and soft. That's pleasant, that's beautiful. There might be a sweet smell in the air.
There might be flowers or art, or really flattering lighting.
And then begin to take note of Venus's appearance. What is Venus wearing? What is the energy that Venus brings when it walks into the room? What does it smell like? What's its tone of voice [00:23:00] like? What does it sound like?
From this space, we're going to begin our invocation. Again, I encourage you to write this out long hand in your journal. Then I'm gonna give you the prompts. Again, these are in the show notes if you need to reference them. And from here, I just want you to write, once the music starts, you have about 12 to 15 minutes to just write.
Allow whatever comes up to come through. Write as if no one's gonna read it. Punctuation and spelling do not matter. Coherence, it really doesn't matter. Just be free. So here we go. We invite Venus to the page. Thank you, Venus for meeting with us today. Thank you, Venus for writing through us. Thank you, Venus, for [00:24:00] sharing what's in our highest good.
If you are connecting with Venus and Virgo, which is about letting go, your prompt is Venus. When it comes to my topic and you'd fill in the blank, how can I make more space for what I really want? What behaviors, beliefs, actions, people, or things need to be released in order to make room for what I desire.
And if you're connecting with Venus in Libra today, which is about building up an accumulating, your prompt is Venus, when it comes to my topic, fill in the blank. How can I magnetize what I want towards me? What behaviors and beliefs can I cultivate? What actions can I take and who can I partner [00:25:00] with in order to call in what I desire?
Okay, enjoy. I'll talk to you after the music. [00:26:00] [00:27:00] [00:28:00] [00:29:00] [00:30:00] [00:31:00] [00:32:00] [00:33:00] [00:34:00] [00:35:00] [00:36:00] [00:37:00] 
All right, friend. It is time to gently end your planet channeling session, so just finish whatever you're writing. Don't forget to thank Venus for showing up for you to tell Venus. Thank you. I love you. I appreciate you. Whatever feels natural.
And I am gonna share a little bit about what I received from Venus. And again, the step after this is to reread your entry. You can take some space if you need to come back, reread it, and then begin implementing the guidance. So I came to Venus [00:38:00] asking about my personal appearance. And my grooming and my, my hair specifically, which seems kind of like a surface level thing to talk to Venus about.
I don't often talk to the planets about my appearance. I, I'm usually talking to planets about my career and my creativity and what I'm doing at work, but I thought I should change it up this time, or I felt like changing it up this time. And I'm connecting with Venus and Virgo today because, um, Venus is still in Virgo while I'm recording this.
And Venus was actually really practical with me, as you would expect, Venus and Virgo to be. Not a lot of, uh, flourishes, not a lot of fanciness. Just really straightforward advice. And Venus was like, girlfriend, you need to cut your hair. And I think that's perfect considering that [00:39:00] Venus and Virgo conjunct the south node and opposite Saturn is all about releasing, simplifying, and letting go.
I. Still live as if I have COVID hair. Like it's just really long and it hasn't been trimmed or anything like that. And so the first action step that Venus gave me was to find a stylist in my town, 'cause I haven't found one yet and to just cut some inches off. So we're gonna start there. And then some other things that Venus.
Said we're in my way, was old clothing that I don't wear. To get rid of that, to take that to goodwill if it's still good quality enough, and to make space in my closet, and then also to clear out my bookshelf, which. Is just a mess and there's barely any books on it. It's just holding piles of stuff. So my planet channeling exploration [00:40:00] today, again, gave me three to-dos.
They were very specific but very practical. Cut your hair, clean out your closet, clean up your bookshelf girlfriend in order to make space for what is coming next. I think that's all I'm comfortable sharing publicly. But if you enjoyed this, again, I invite you wholeheartedly to come to the So Below Society.
 It's a really safe space to deepen this practice and to share it with like-minded astrology lovers. You can join and learn more@astrologywithclaire.com slash so below society. That's all one word, and I hope to see you there and don't forget to do this again when Venus moves into Libra, and it'll be fun to compare and contrast your answers.
I hope this was enjoyable for you. I was so excited to share this practice, and I'll talk to you next week.
