THE 2026 VENUS PASSAGE
One final descent through Scorpio
Then Venus comes home
Venus has been making solar conjunctions through Scorpio in a century-scale sequence that began in 1926. October 2026 brings the final Scorpio Venus Star Point in that sequence.
THE END OF AN ERA
One final passage through the darkness
One final descent
One final set of vows
Then Venus rises again
HOW LORI WILL READ IT WITH YOU
Retrograde, invisibility, conjunction, Morning Star, Libra
Scorpio, Libra, your prenatal Venus Star Point and the houses involved
2010, 2018 and 2026 placed beside your actual lived experience
Lori teaches the cycle the way it becomes meaningful: sky, chart and lived experience in one frame
LIVE WITH LORI · THREE THRESHOLDS
Underworld
Star Point
Rise
Three interconnected live classes follow one Venus story as it unfolds across October and November
Venus Enters the Underworld
We begin the day after Venus stations retrograde and starts moving toward invisibility
Love, money, desire, security, validation, self-worth and power come into focus when an old Venus story stops giving the same answer
Deep magic happens here
What becomes visible when you stop forcing the answer
The Final Scorpio Star Point
We prepare for Venus meeting the Sun at 0°45′ Scorpio on October 23–24
2010 · 2018 · 2026. We compare the chapters and follow intimacy, money, sexuality, desire, secrecy, conflict, betrayal, power and transformation
The next eight-year story begins to take shape
What keeps returning because it is ready to be understood differently
Venus Rises
Venus returns toward visibility as a Morning Star and the story moves back into Libra
We follow what comes back into view and track the story through Venus turning direct in Libra
Where a planet rises is where we rise
The sky keeps moving between classes. You come back with more evidence, more questions and a deeper thread to follow. Then you keep the teaching, meditations and replays for life.
YOUR CHART IS THE MAP
The collective sky is only the beginning
Your natal chart shows where this Venus passage lands. We locate the Scorpio and Libra houses, discover your prenatal Venus Star Point, and place the current sky beside the life you have already lived.
You can arrive curious. The preparation layer shows you how to find what you need.
Sometimes the past does not return because we are meant to repeat it. Sometimes it returns because we are finally ready to finish it.

LORI LOTHIAN · ASTROLOGER + TEACHER
Forty-plus years changes what you notice
Lori has spent decades placing astrology beside real lives, real timing and thousands of personal charts. Venus Rising brings that experience into one unusually specific live sky story.
Start with the sky · locate it in the chart · test it against the life
The aim is a more participatory relationship with astrology: enough technique to see the pattern, enough lived evidence to keep the interpretation honest, and enough room for the story to surprise you.

THE ROOM YOU ARE JOINING
Technical enough to teach you something
Personal enough to matter
Venus Rising is a focused three-class live journey for people who want the sky story connected to an actual chart, actual history and actual life.
Your chart enters the conversation
Scorpio, Libra and your prenatal Venus Star Point give the collective Venus story somewhere specific to land.
2010 and 2018 become evidence
You place earlier Venus chapters beside 2026 so you can see what repeats, what matured and what belongs to a different story now.
Lori teaches while the cycle unfolds
The Underworld, Star Point and Rise are taught as one connected passage, with earlier sessions preserved as lifetime replays.
Curiosity is enough to begin
The starter lesson, lookup guide, chart tutorial and Houses guide give you a direct route into the technical material before Class One.
QUESTIONS
Everything you need to know before you enter
When can I start?
Immediately after successful enrollment. Your student hub opens with Lori’s approximately 8½-minute Find Your Venus Star Point lesson, the official lookup guide, Whole Sign chart preparation, the 12 Houses guide and your private Venus Cycle Companion. The first live class is October 4.
Can I join after the first live class?
Yes. Lori is explicitly welcoming students who enter after Class One. Start with the Class One replay, then join the remaining live classes. If you enter after Class Two, both earlier classes are waiting as replays and you can still come live for Venus Rises on November 1.
Do I need to know my Venus Star Point already?
You can learn it inside the course before Class One. Lori’s starter lesson shows you how to identify the Venus-Sun conjunction immediately before your birth, understand the Morning Star or Evening Star marker, and place the point by Whole Sign house.
How experienced with astrology should I be?
Curiosity and a natal chart are enough to begin. The technical preparation is available immediately, and Lori teaches the Venus story through examples, chart location and lived pattern recognition.
What are the live dates?
October 4, October 18 and November 1, 2026. All three classes begin at 12 PM Pacific. The Live Classes section can convert those times to your own timezone.
What happens if I miss a live class?
Every class becomes a lifetime replay inside the teaching platform. You can catch up in your own time and return to the recordings after the Venus cycle has moved on.
How do the guided meditations fit in?
Guided Venus meditation is woven into the live journey as a reflective and experiential layer alongside Lori’s technical teaching, chart work and asteroid symbolism.
What is the Venus Cycle Companion?
It is a private interactive tool inside the student hub. You can map the Scorpio and Libra territory in your chart, build your 2010 → 2018 → 2026 record, work with the asteroid lenses, save notes locally on your own device, export them and return to the same thread after each class. Your reflection entries stay on your own device unless you choose to export them.
What parts of life does Venus Rising explore?
Love and relationship are part of the story, alongside desire, pleasure, money, value, beauty, self-worth, intimacy, exchange and what matters to you. Scorpio deepens the questions around power, sexuality, secrecy, betrayal, endings and transformation. Libra shifts the field toward beauty, balance, harmony, fairness and relationship.
Why do we look back at 2010 and 2018?
They are earlier Scorpio Venus Star Point chapters Lori uses as comparison points for 2026. The useful question is what repeats, what matured, and what is genuinely different now.
Will Lori read my chart personally?
This is a live group teaching experience. Lori gives you the astrology, method and interpretive framework so you can follow the cycle through your own chart and lived history.
How long do I keep access?
Your teaching-platform access, three class replays and included student resources are lifetime access.
What happens when the Early Bird ends?
The $55 Early Bird runs through September 30 at 11:59 PM Pacific. After that, Venus Rising is $66.
