A Venus Retrograde Journey
by Divine Harmony
Starting March 1st, 2025
Becoming the Grail…
In this new online course offering we will be journeying with the Planet Venus and the Goddess of Love and Beauty as she stations Retrograde and descends into the Underworld, joins with the Heart of the Sun and stations Direct to come back out of her Underworld journey.
This Holy Grail Quest is intentionally timed around some incredibly profound astrology incoming around the March Equinox 2025. From activations of the Omega/Aries Point threshold of 30 Pisces to 0 Aries by Mercury, Venus and Neptune to the Eclipse Portal of Lunar and Solar Eclipses to Venus and Mercury Retrograde- this period of time is incredibly significant.
We will explore astrology, the Grail Mysteries, teachings on the Vessel of Love, mythology, spirituality and so much more. We will ritually and ceremonially engage with the high frequencies incoming and work to ground and embody them Becoming the Grail!
I hope you will join me…
This course is a 7 week online journey commencing on the day Venus Stations Retrograde and completing on the day Venus stations Direct. For 50 days (43 days of Venus Retrograde plus the 7 days before she stations Retrograde when the classroom opens and we start to connect and weave together) we will journey together into and through the Underworld of the Goddess of Love and Beauty.
This course will include modern astrology teachings on Venus and also ancient teachings (Egyptian, Sumerian, Arabic) and will look at both Tropical Astrology alignments and also the Living Sky alignments. We will deeply explore the Grail Mysteries, the Grail in the Heavens, the 3 Grails in our bodies and what it means to Become the Grail. We will share dreams, share experiences, witness and be witnessed in sacred space- as we intentionally and ceremonially move through this portal of Venus, Neptune and the North Node of Destiny activations- during an Eclipse Portal, an Equinox Portal and a maximum Out of Bounds Moon!
Venus and Neptune are the lower and Higher Hearts and they will be in Pisces for part of the course (in Aries for other parts)- which is the sign of Venus’ Exaltation and the sign of Neptune’s Rulership. The North Node is also in Pisces calling us forward to our destiny connected to Higher Love. The capacity to open our hearts in greater ways and become greater expressions of the Love we wish to see in the world is available to tap into during this time. If you have eyes to see and ears to hear, if you have an open heart to receive and a grounded self to bring it all into manifestation- this portal is nothing short of PROFOUND.
This course is offered in service of the Divine Mother whose infinite Love and infinite blessings are all around us- we just need to remember that we are the Vessel and open up to receive!
…to become the Vessel?
Join me as we descend into the Underworld to face and reclaim our wholeness. As Rumi said “both Light and shadow are the dance of Love”.
There will be 3 Live classes on March 1st, March 22nd and April 12th. There will be 4 Tea Ceremonies with my dear sister Gigi Chiarello on March 8th, 15th, 29th and April 5th. There will also be a Community Space for sharing and dreaming together throughout the course.
It is recommended to plan to attend classes live. We are gathering together during precise astrological portals intentionally. After each live class there is a one hour ceremony to be done at a specific time as well. If you cannot attend live you can watch the replays which will be posted in the online classroom and it is recommended to watch them as soon as possible so you can tap into the precise astrological portal.

What you’ll experience:
- 3 Live Classes that are 2 to 2 1/2 hours each- full of teachings, meditations, and inspiration on how to navigate this profound portal intentionally
- 4 Tea Ceremonies hosted by Harmony and facilitated by Gigi Chiarello for Community Connection in Sacred Space (90 minutes- your Zoom camera must be ON in order to attend)
- An online classroom to access course materials, downloads, replays of classes (Classroom is open 2/22-4/30, Community Connection is open 2/22-4/20)
- Rituals and ceremonies will be given for the Venus Portal Dates- Station Retrograde, conjunction with the Sun and Station Direct (more info on this in Q&A section below)
- Teachings on Astrology, Mythology, the Living Sky, the Age of Aquarius, the Grail Mysteries, the Vessel of Love and more!
- Includes offerings for dreamwork, working with the tarot, and guided meditations
I have a very deep devotion to the Divine Feminine in all her manifestations and I have been consciously and mystically working with the Venus cycle for over 13 years now. I have never felt it was time to teach the Venus cycle in an online course format until I have moved through an entire one intentionally on my own (clearly I have waited way more than 8 years lol)
In 2012 I organized a trip to the South of France for the Sun/Venus occultation. We were on the sacred lands of Mary Magdalene for that conjunction, and the one previous in 2004 I had just got into yoga and headed to India for a 6 month solo journey. My entire life arc to date can be mapped against the Venus cycle! I was initiated as a High Priestess as my own Progressed New Moon cojoined my Natal Venus and at this time I dedicated myself and my life to serving the Divine Mother (a continuation of a commitment that spans lifetimes).
I now feel ready to teach the Venus Mystery teachings- having moved with them and through them deeply on my own for 13 years (a number sacred to Venus) and having been through an 8 year cycle of Venus walking the path of the High Priestess (also a number sacred to Venus).
I hope you will join me on this deep dive with the Goddess Venus as She leads us into the Underworld, to join with the heart of the Sun, and back out again for a rebirth and a new cycle seeded at this pivotal time on Planet Earth!
Blessings…

All class videos will be posted in the online classroom to view afterwards and at the completion of the course they will be made available to download to keep for yourself. This course will be taken down by May 1st- as the nature of it is connected to the Astrology right now, it is not something that will be made available on demand in the future.
Is this course only for women?
No! From a Jungian and Depth Psychological perspective we all have both masculine and feminine essence in us. We have lived in a 5000+ year cycle of over-focusing on the masculine at the expense of the feminine. So this course serves you in connecting with and rebalancing the Union of masculine and feminine within. As such this course is for men, women and non-binary beings. Anyone ready to deepen their relationship to the feminine is welcome.
What is an online course?
An online course is something you can do in the comfort of your own home. You can watch class live or tune in afterwards if you cannot make it live due to scheduling. Due to the nature of this course being timely (about present astrological happenings)- this course WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE ON DEMAND at a later time. After the course is over you will be given permission to download the videos and all downloadable content so you can keep it on your computer or device. The classroom space will be deleted by May 1st.
Do I need any special equipment?
You will need a computer with working audio (so you can hear me speak) and a good wifi connection. In order to clearly see the powerpoint slides it is recommended to attend and/or watch class on a computer or ipad and not a smart phone (the screen will be too small to see the images clearly).
What if I miss a Live Session?
It is recommended to try to come to the live sessions if you are able to. There are timely teachings that will pertain to the precise astrology going on in that moment and each of the live classes will give you a ritual/ceremony to do after class for the Venus Retrograde Station, Sun/Venus conjunction and Venus Direct Station.
If you miss a session you can rewatch them while the classroom is open (and download and keep them before the classroom gets deleted on May 1st). If you cannot make a live class you can download the Ritual/Ceremony Notes and participate in the Venus Portal Ritual first and then watch the class afterwards.
In addition to the 3 Live Classes- the 4 Saturdays in between our Live classes will be Tea Ceremony gatherings where we gather in sacred space for tea, meditation, reflection and stillness. In this Sacred Space we will have time to share with each other and the Tea Ceremony gatherings are incredibly deep and an integral part of the journey together.
If you cannot make a Tea Ceremony the Ritual portion of the Ceremony will be recorded and available to watch afterwards, but the Community Share part of the Ceremony will not be recorded to honor everyone’s privacy.
All Live Classes and the Tea Ceremonies (minus the sharing at the end) will posted in the classroom portal within 24 hours of the class (usually I can get it up within a couple hours after class- it will only be longer if I have not received the download from Zoom in a timely manner) and they are accessible to watch in the classroom portal until 4/30. After our last class on 4/12 you will be given permission to download and keep the class videos, notes, audio files, etc… as the classroom itself will be deleted on May 1st.
Due to the timely nature of this class and the astrological alignments- it is a course for this now moment and will be taken down when “this now moment” has moved on.
What are the dates and times for all the Sessions?
All Classes & Tea Ceremonies are on Saturdays and start at 2pm Eastern Time/11am Pacific/7pm UK time (adjust for your Time Zone accordingly).
PLEASE NOTE- On March 9th we have Daylight Savings in the USA where we ‘spring ahead by an hour’ but in the UK Daylight Savings is on March 30th. For the gatherings on March 15th, 22nd and 29th the UK class time will be at 6pm not 7pm, and then it will shift back to 7pm for the April 5th class.
CLASS DATES- Saturdays March 1st, 22nd and April 12th (with 1 hour Ceremony/Ritual to be done that evening during the Venus Portals 7-8pm Eastern (March 1st) or 8:30-9:30pm Eastern (March 22nd and April 12th).
It is ideal that you are able to do the ceremonies in these precise times, so please plan your schedule accordingly. If you live somewhere where these times are in the middle of the night in your time zone, you can do them just before going to bed or right upon waking.
We are tapping into the precise astrological portals happening when the frequency is at its highest- hence the need for precision on timing. Classes will be approximately 2 to 2 1/2 hours long.
Tea Ceremony Dates- Saturdays March 8th, 15th, 29th and April 5th at 2pm EST lasting for approximately 90 minutes.
How long do I have access to the replays?
The online clasroom portal for this course will be accessible from February 22nd through April 30th, 2025. The classroom will be deleted on May 1st.
Due to the timely nature of this course- it will not be available on demand after this portal is over.
After the last class you will be given the opportunity to download the class videos, notes and audio files before the classroom gets deleted. These recordings are for you as an individual only and are not to be shared with others. Thank you for honoring this agreement.
Is this class for beginners or for more advanced students of astrology?
This class is structured to meet you at your level. If you are brand new to astrology or if you have been studying astrology for decades- this class can support you in deepening your relationship to Venus, her Underworld journey, the Divine Feminine and the mystical path.
If you are more advanced in your studies this course will support you in deepening your understanding of Venus from an astrological, archetypal and myth level- and more importantly this course can support you in deepening your relationship to yourself :)
This course can help you to take your knowledge of Venus as a Planet and astrological archetype and transform that knowledge into embodied wisdom- moving from the head where we receive information and dropping down into the heart and belly where we integrate it and embody it. (Another course that supports this work is my course Embodied Astrology)
Do I need strong internet skills to take this course?
You need to know how to use a computer, navigate the user-friendly online classroom and log into zoom (if you are attending live- otherwise you watch the replays in the classroom portal), but other than that, no!
Is there a community page and/or Q&A?
There will be a community page on Facebook and daily emails sent out with insights shared if you choose not to be on Facebook.
The community connection is also in the Live classes and interacting with each other via chat and more importantly when we have Tea Ceremonies where we all turn on our videos, see and witness each other, and gather together in sacred space.
I am new to your work- is this the best first course to take with you?
With the exception of Foundations of Astrology & Intermediate Level One & Two which are linear and sequential- all my other Courses and Masterclasses are more like a circle or spiral and can be taken in any order you prefer.
For example Astrology & Your Shadow is the Underworld Spiral where you learn to see, face and integrate the Shadow. Stargate Mystery School is all about the Heavens and Celestials Myths and so would be the Upperworld Spiral. Embodied Astrology is about bringing Heaven down to Earth and is the Earth Spiral.
The Alchemy of the Asteroid Goddesses actually operates on all 3 levels as we work with teachings from above (the asteroids, the myths), below (shadow work practices) and within (somatic/integration practices).
And finally Calling in the Light– my latest course taught in Fall of 2024- is a course that teaches you to Call in the Light to fill the Below, Above and Within with the Highest Light.
“The Holy Grail ~ Becoming the Vessel” is the only course I am offering live right now- so if you like being in the live classroom space and connecting with me directly and also connecting with community- then this may be the best one for you at this time.
Ultimately it is recommended to choose what is calling to you right now- as that is your intuition guiding you :)
Will you have scholarships for this course?
About 3 days before the course begins, if I there is space in the course to have scholarships I will send out the scholarship application via my newsletter here- https://divineharmony.com/newsletter/
If the class is at max capacity I may not be able to offer scholarships- but I most likely will be able to offer some (as I usually do this for each course I offer)
