| | Venus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Venus is brightest when approximately 25% of its disk is illuminated; this typically occurs 37 days both before (in the evening sky) and after (in the morning sky), its inferior conjunction. | | | Jerome, and is considered an evil angel "cast out of heaven" by several Christian denominations. | | | Its symbol is the sign also used in biology for the female sex, a stylized representation of the goddess Venus's hand mirror: a circle with a small cross underneath (Unicode: ♀). |

| | VENUS |
| | Venus had no worship in Rome in early times, as the scholar Marcus Terentius Varro (116-27 BC) shows, attesting that he could find no mention of her name in old records. | | | August 19 is the Vinalia Rustica, a festival of Jupiter; hence, he and Venus came to be associated, and this facilitated their equation, as father and daughter, with the Greek deities Zeus and Aphrodite. | | | This is corroborated by the absence of any festival for her in the oldest Roman calendar and by her lack of a flamen (special priest). |

| | THE CRESCENT VENUS |
| | Meanwhile the apparent diameter of Venus is varying between 64.5 arc sec at inferior conjunction, when it is nearest to Earth, and 9.9 arc sec at superior conjunction when it is furthest away. | | | At inferior conjunction the dark side is toward Earth, but, as Venus moves, the illuminated hemisphere is gradually turned towards earth: at greatest western elongation half the visible hemisphere is illuminated and at superior conjunction all of it is. In the other half of the orbit the phases occur in the reverse order. | | | Still I recognize that the sign of Venus is the image of a mirror and the attribute pare excellence of the patron of prostitutes (sacred, of course, Kedesha: meaning both Saint and Prostitute). |

| | An alternate origin of Venus attributed to Hesiod in his Theogony describes her as emerging whole and adult from the foam gathered in the ocean over where the severed testicles of Ouranos/Uranus were cast by the sky god's son Chronos/Saturn. | | | Both the goddesses found asylum in the realm of the Mesopotamian gods where Anu took Dione as his wife. | | | Venus declared her love for Whitney, and she took him to Mt. |

| | Aphrodite (Venus) The Goddess of Love and Beauty. |
| | To these scholars the story of her birth was the symbol of mystery through which the divine message of beauty came into the world. | | | Or, rather, we should say that these liberties which Botticelli took with nature in order to achieve a graceful outline add to the beauty and harmony of the design because they enhance the impression of an infinitely tender and delicate being, wafted to our shores as a gift from Heaven. | | | Her arrival at the abode of the Gods threw Mount Olimpus into an uproar. |

| | Venus in Pompeian Gardens |
| | In my article about art in Pompeian gardens, I didn’t mention the goddess Venus, but she was one of the most important deities in Roman gardens. | | | Most Romans were very superstitious; even if they didn’t really believe in the goddess Venus, they would have wanted an image of her in their gardens because she guarded gardens as well as encouraging fertility among humans. | | | I don’t know the reason for this; statuettes and paintings of Venus were more common in Pompeian homes and gardens than images of any other deity. |

| | This hymn refers to Hathor as the “Lady of Heaven”, a similarity to the ‘Queen of Heaven’ title of Inanna/Ishtar, and entreats her as the giver of love and embodiment of passion, which is the image of Aphrodite. | | | Eleusis became the earliest cult center of Demeter where she was worshiped as the earth goddess and Persephone as the life of the crops (28). | | | Originally part of the spiritual triad along with the Sun and Moon, Venus went through several evolutions as she was assimilated throughout the Middle East and West of the ancient world. |

| | Aphrodite |
| | This is not to say that she was a war goddess, although some have seen her as such and find significance in her pairing with the war god Ares in mythology and worship. | | | The latter two had hoped to bribe him with power and victory in battle, but Aphrodite offered the love of the most beautiful woman in the world. | | | The ancient travel writer Pausanias describes a number of statues of Aphrodite dressed for battle, many of them in Sparta. |

| | When the three goddesses insisted that Zeus, king of the gods, award the apple to one of them, he wisely refused, even though Hera was his wife. | | | Not to leave anything to chance, each goddess attempted to bribe Paris. | | | But Aphrodite, who obviously understood youth and hormones better than the other two did, offered him any woman in the world. |

| | Venus (mythology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | As the goddess of sexual healing, a degree of erotic beauty in her presentation was justified, which had an obvious appeal to many artists and their patrons. | | | Etymologically, Venus is cognate to Sanskrit vanas- "loveliness; longing, desire", an epitheton of Ushas, suggesting a Proto-Indo-European link. | | | Venus is a Roman goddess principally associated with love, broadly, although not completely, equivalent to Greek Aphrodite and Etruscan Turan. |

| | This period (583.92 Earth days) is called the Earth-Venus synodic cycle (a synod is a place of meeting). | | | This specific transit pair (2004-2012), because it coincides with the Holy Cross, strongly supports the reintegration and emergence of the Divine Feminine principle in our world--which desperately awaits the guidance and balance of the Goddess. | | | Please also see: "Divine Union in the Cycle of the Holy Cross." |

| | Venus de Milo Goddess of Love Statue |
| | Venus de Milo, the Roman goddess, was worshiped originally as a goddess of fertility, both human, and of the garden. | | | Despite the fact that venus had many affairs with both gods and mortals, Venus was known as the goddess of chastity in women by the Romans. | | | Venus really had no myths of her own but was so closely identified with the Greek Aphrodite that she took over Aphrodite's myths and became mostly known as the goddess of love. |

| | 'Venus': A Goddess Under Glass (washingtonpost.com) |
| | Baartman was advertised as "The Venus Hottentot," a spectacle of titillation and revulsion: "Come and see what even God hisself don't want to look at," purrs a huckster in "Venus," Suzan-Lori Parks's showy mid-1990s play loosely based on Baartman's story. | | | The six-person chorus, at one point called on to play the Lowest Links in God's Great Chain of Being (each of them higher than the Venus Hottentot), all wear bright ruffled silks on their heads and around their necks, and are otherwise dressed in black. | | | Muson isn't alone in hearing music in Parks's celebrated linguistic curlicues, but she may be among the first to turn parts of "Venus" into actual songs. |
