Transits of Venus known as the planet (goddess) of Arts, Beauty, Love & Material Wealth & Peace are rare, occurring only four times every 243 years. No one alive today has seen this sight, and it happens only twice this century.

For the first time since 1882, Venus will glide across (transit) the face of the Sun on June 8, 2004, taking a little more than 6 hours to complete its journey.

The entire transit is visible from Europe, Africa (except the far west), the Middle East, and Asia (except the far east). For observers in eastern and central North America, the Sun rises with the transit in progress.

Enjoy the following quotes by Kahlil Gibran on LOVE, in preparation to celebrate this heavenly milestone in the presence of the Goddess of Love & Peace.

When love beckons to you, follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.

Love possesses not nor would it be possessed;
For love is sufficient unto Love.

And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.

Love has no other desire but to fulfil ITSELF.
