The symbolism surrounding Venus is well known. Doesn't this goddess represent beauty and love? Indeed, Venus represents love! In all its forms!

Let's remember that the actual planet Venus hides a volcanic and sulphurous universe beneath its cover of seemingly tranquil yellow clouds.

The cloud cover is so dense that human colonies could be established here in floating airships. But woe betide those who wish to plunge into the terrifying world of the surface.

Psychoanalysis has recognized this. Love is abundant food, but it can be indigestible and poisonous.

In astrology, the planet Venus is, at first sight, considered beneficial. Combined with Mars, it is a sign of fertility, artistic dynamism and passion. However, it can also represent warlike emphasis. Wars are fought for love.

Suppose the influential stars Saturn, Uranus, Neptune or Pluto interact with the beautiful goddess. In that case, we can witness a Hollywood show of Kafkaesque proportions regarding relationships and passions.

Venus has two kingdoms: Taurus and Libra. In Taurus, she represents attachment to earthly foods and sensuality. In Libra, she symbolizes the delicate balance between two signs of apparently contradictory natures: the discriminating Virgo and the impulsive Scorpio.

An astrological sign is always in the median position of its neighbours. This is exacerbated in the case of Venus when it is in Libra or in all those who possess the nature of this sign or feel the fragrances and perfumes of this high priestess.

Venus is above all the way we look at the universe around us. And when I speak of the gaze, I think above all of reality's aesthetic and practical appreciation.

We see in it a quest for balance and peace and a thirst for beauty since beauty results from a subtle balance.

Those who wish to love have a responsibility to appropriate the sugar of life frugally and equitably.

Venus can be a mermaid. She also promises conciliation and justice. These are times of great need. Let's make love rather than war and ensure that our lives are nothing but battles of meaning and engagement.
