Venus is the Roman name for the Greek goddess Aphrodite. Generally, Venus is the goddess of love and sensuality. Venus represents the descent of divine feminine energy into the physical world. The waters of the sea can be seen as humanity’s tumultuous emotional body. She is the balance for the present distortion of aggression on earth. Her presence is of calm, knowing, patience, and love. Her tools are not the swords of the battlefield but of beauty and harmony. — Michael Parkes.
