Q: Astronomers think they've discovered another planet and astrologers think it will affect the astrological chart quite markedly and, apparently, our emotions. Do you have an opinion on this, Isleen?
Isleen: Planets are symbolic of things for you, if you do not take it all too literally; they are symbolic of things for you. A new planet is symbolic of new possibilities, new hopes which indeed has to do with the emotions, for hope lies in the refinement and reform of your emotions; not yours personally but the world at large. Change must start with the refinement and reform of the emotions.
But this is only a first step, only a first cautious step, for the road is long and must be travelled to true refinement of love and compassion. If the raw emotions are refined and reformed it is the start of hope, the start of the new road towards true love, true understanding and compassion. And so many do not constrain their emotions, many are the victim of their emotions, of their fears, of their anxieties, of their ego, of their hatred, of their prejudice. These rampant emotions created thus by these forces are so destructive to your world and to your relationships. So in the first steps towards their refinement we find new hope - but the road is long.
Q: Is there any spiritual significance of the transit of Venus?
Isleen: No, just the physical phenomena, but it is an expression of your closeness to the planet and all planets and all creation.
Q: As it is known as the planet of love, will it bring any positivity in the Middle East?
Isleen: No, the only thing that can cause positivity in the Middle East is love in the Middle East. But if you would reach out across the ocean, across the land to the people of the Middle East this will be helpful. This will be useful.
Eileen: We've talked about this reaching out to the Middle East before and I do try, but I don't find it easy given the language barrier and the practicalities of reaching them.
Isleen: Well you can only try, Eileen, to reach out. You may only try. You can relay the message as best you can. You could relay a special message relating to this, (referring to the present communication) embracing all.
