Venus the Guiding Light to Everlasting Love

Writer: LumiLumi


Looking to the stars for advice on personal matters is most effective, this facet of divining aids all who are open-minded to see the overall picture.

Imagine how much power you can harness just by understanding your cosmic blueprint?


We can simply look to our Sun sign to seek inspiration in terms of understanding the overall personality. However, there are endless facets of your own birth chart that can help you find personal and soul fulfillment. This in fact was a gift given to you at birth in order to reconnect back to your soul center.


First and foremost, our soul’s happiness starts within. It all comes down with believing within your core that you are beautiful and deserving. Strength and confidence shine outwardly ten-fold even more than beauty products. Keep in the mind, that the world you see is your own inner mirror.


Your inner self is the key to transcending your outer world. Your soul and vessel go hand in hand. In order to facilitate the changes in your life, you have to see that it all starts with You.


We are all here to live out our soul experience, so why not enjoy the ride by walking in beauty?


 

Venus (i.e. Roman counterpart Aphrodite) is the great goddess of beauty, fertility, love and sex. In Greek mythology, Aphrodite was born of the foam from the sea after Saturn (Cronus) castrated his father Uranus (Ouranos) and his blood fell to the sea. Venus was then birthed as a fully-grown goddess by this impact. The first appearance of a temple devoted to Venus was in 295 BCE in Rome but it was embellished with Greek influence (Aphrodite cults), and this interchange explains the influence that this goddess once had in past timelines.


In Astronomy, the Sun and Moon are our cosmic parents. Immersing these two planetary energies will enable you to create the life force within you. This will initiate your ability to tap into your own Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine self. In other words, your Higher Self.


Traditionally, Venus is the daughter of the Moon and is symbolic of the Great Mother. Energetically, it is your own creative force.


Venus rules two signs: Libra (masculine) and Taurus (feminine). Once tapped into, Venus assumes her duties as the bounteous giver of life’s gifts and pleasures, for she is the personification of beauty and increment.

Her task is to inspire Man with the desire for material and spiritual growth.

She is the goddess of protection and is often symbolized by the dove.






After some time, we have been programmed into thinking that it takes a lot of work to be your most beautiful self. Or by becoming beautiful is seen as “vain” and “devaluing”. Or that our fate is left to chance, and following this old system of thought is “acceptable.”


What is beauty? At first thought, you might picture fashionistas, beauty moguls, celebrities, etc. Something that cannot be attained by the “common man.” First of all, we as souls are not “common.” We are all magical, beautiful, and deserving. We are all given the divinely given right to receive and spread the beauty all around us. 


First and foremost, our soul’s happiness starts within. It all comes down with believing within your core that you are beautiful and deserving. Strength and confidence shine outwardly ten-fold even more than beauty products. Keep in  mind, that the world you see is your own inner mirror. Your inner self is the key to transcending your outer world. Your soul and vessel go hand in hand. In order to facilitate the changes in your life, you have to see that it all starts with You. 


We are all here to live out our soul experience, and by integrating the energy of Venus, you will learn the ways of walking in beauty. 


You must be wondering how astrology can ever be used as a tool for a soul and beauty care regimen. On the contrary, it can be. The birth chart is the guiding key of seeking your inner happiness as well as knowing the tools you can use to harness the beauty planets energy effectively. Let's explore each Venus Sign and how you can power up your inner and outer beauty.
