The mysterious secrets of the planet Venus

In Greek mythology, Aphrodite, Venus for the Romans, was the goddess of beauty and love, that she aroused in the hearts of men. She was born from the foam formed by the seed of Ouranos, the sky after Chronos (Saturn) had cut his sexual organs. This myth highlights the idea that earthly love reflects heavenly love, but subject to time and space. The myth also says that Aphrodite, wife of Hephaestus, had cheated on him with Ares, God of war who is none other than the Roman Mars. So, we can see, how these two planets are linked. Venus shows us, in the chart, how we feel and react to love, while Mars shows how we express this love. Venus indicates the ideal feminine type in a man while Mars indicates the ideal masculine type in a woman.

the ideogram shows the circle of the spirit above the material cross, showing in this case, the primacy of feeling over materialism.

In the natal chart, Venus shows us what we like and the type of person we are attracted to. It also shows our way of loving, our relationships, but also our artistic and clothing tastes. It also indicates how we present ourselves to others, our sense of beauty and aesthetics. Finally, it indicates (with Jupiter) our chances of material success.
