Venus key words
I was taught astrology by Marion March, author of seven books and a real scholar. When dealing with meanings of Venus,most people are content with calling Venus the goddess of love and beauty. Well there are many more ways to look at what Marion gave to us in her basic class.
Venus rules love, art, culture, aesthetics, possessions (beautiful ones) think of Taurus ruled by Venus which loves possession s. Partner’s beauty charm good taste, sentimentality, sweets and sugar, color, harmony, poetry, paintings, jewelry, singing, drama and music, Venus action is gentle and harmonious. Govern emotional contacts, tenderness, moral character, marriage and unions of all kinds. Also sociability, disposition, luxuries, plus pleasure, and appreciation. Excellent food, fine wine, Venus is the goddess love, not sex (Mars).
Wow, that is a much boarder definition. Let’s look at negative Venus and think of the darker side of Venus. Jealousy, envy, immoral, schemer, lies, will breakup other relationships, selfish, gossip, bad taste, deceitful, harlot, sin, courtesan, adultery, ugly, bad taste, rivalry, temptress, self centered, vileness, liars, unsavory. Meddling, masochism, heartless, gluttony, vain, depravity,
Rumi: You must have shadow and light source.
I think this brings to mind Jung’s concept of the shadow in the quest for personal growth, also the Ying and Yang symbol, and also the concept of pulsing polarities. Knowing the function of this polarity is central to getting the whole spectrum of the possible impact of the planet.
WHY HAVE I GIVEN YOU THIS TWO FACED VENUS?
I am not an astrologer who is just sweetness and pink. There are two sides of Venus and it important that you look at your chart and see what the real location and aspects your Venus has. My Venus is sq. Uranus in Virgo. I had a lot to learn about my Venus, let me tell you. Recognizing it was a good start in understanding myself and what makes me tick. I helped me to know more about my emotional response to aspects of my life. It is sign of a maverick, which is why I am doing this note. This makes me a critic of many many sides of all questions and ideas, not as emotional as most. This is not a simple gush.
When you get a reading from me, it is no Disney land. We will look at both sides of the coin. In the end it will help you understand more of your chart and the map of your life.
