Venus

Venus as a planet is known to be both the Morning Star and the Evening Star, Being the second planet from the sun, it is the sister of our home planet the Earth, although it has no moon orbiting around it unlike ours. They are both similar in size, but Venus shines brighter than any star in the night sky. Because of its brightness, one day in Venus lasts for more than one earth year!

Venus is famous as the beautiful goddess of love. She represents the woman in relationships, whether romantic, platonic or professional. She is our guide when it comes to the different levels of social interaction – our behavior, social attitude, etiquette, grace and poise. She controls our tastes in clothing (fashion sense), physical attraction, desires and our artful taste in general. This love goddess fills our beings with the need for romance, passion, sexual interaction and carnal fulfillment. She commands us to seek pleasure and guides us in our pursuit until it is finally achieved.

Venus is the planetary ruler of the Zodiac signs Libra (harmonious relationships), and Taurus (our sense of security and materialism). She is also highly viewed by Pisces (emotional sensitivity and self-sarifice).
