This post is in response to a discussion in the “Owning The Planet” forum on the Pink Posse. Forum leader and Pinkie Blogger, Monica Wilcox posed this question to me, “I've been thinking all day about earth as ‘she’ and am very curious what your perspective is Jennifer (as an astrologer). Is there a feminine energy connected to planet Earth, to Venus or are these man-made labels? If so, where is the male energy in the system to bring about balance?”

The first of the winter storms hit Northern California today. The sky opened up and torrents of water poured out of the sky, like a waterfall in the desert. After a long, dry summer, the ground is drinking it in, but not fast enough. The earth is so starved for moisture, it’s as if it’s afraid to drink too fast and wind up drunk. Flooding is inevitable.
