There's a terrific tale from the Pueblo people of the southwest region that can easily be linked to what's happening with Venus and Jupiter in the sky this week!
The tale is called "Arrow to the Sun" and here’s how it goes: there’s a young boy who is teased by all the other boys because he doesn’t have a father. The Lord of the Sun had sent the spark of life into a maiden of the Pueblo, so the boy sets out to see if he is the offspring of the Sun.
The Boy asks various adults of his village for help in finding his father, and finally he asks the wise Arrow Maker. Arrow Maker transforms the Boy into an arrow and launches him to the Sun. When the boy arrives at the Sun, he says: "Father, it is I, your son!" The Lord of the Sun replies: "Perhaps you are, perhaps you are not. In order to know, you must prove yourself. You must pass through the four chambers of ceremony~the kiva of Lions; the kiva of serpents; the kiva of bees; and the kiva of lightning."
This is where the tale really starts to connect us to the sky overhead. The kiva of Lions? That's the constellation Leo. The serpent is Hydra; the kiva of bees is the star cluster at the center of the region Cancer, known as the beehive cluster; and the kiva of lightning refers to the seasonal phenomena of electrical storms that occur when these constellations are overhead.
After the Boy endures these trials, the Lord acknowledges him as his son. He is then sent back to Earth by his father, to bring the Sun's spirit into the world of men.
Right now we can imagine Venus as the boy in the tale, and Jupiter, drawing close, as the Arrow Maker that fashions him into an arrow and sends him to the Sun.
