Venus has an interesting history and cycle. Transforming from the Goddess of Love to the Goddess of War, Venus has always had 2 names and sets of characteristics, depending on its phase and cycle.
The links below all unpack different stages and faces of Venus.
Venus besieged
Besiegement is never fun. Be it on the battlefield, or when everyday life presents unfortunate challenges. To have limited options, one can feel stuck between a rock and a hard place with no way out.
Venus through the Elements
Venus as a Morning Star was known as Lucifer: the Light Bringer.
The morning star phase is often characterised by temptation, unbridled passion and treacherousness.
Temptation doesn’t have to mean infidelity and great deception; Venus rules pleasure and desire, it can be in all realms, leading to both pleasure or distress. Look to the element that your Venus is in for clues.
