Venus rules Taurus (the bull) and Libra (the scales). Venus governs interdependence and the romantic drive. Soft pastel colors as well as various shades of blues and purples represent this planet. The metal that best expresses its energy is copper. Venus is a sensuous planet, and is the ruler of your love nature.

Venus is associated with the Roman deity Venus and the Greek God Aphrodite. In roman mythology, Venus is the goddess of love and beauty, famous for the passions she could stir among the gods. Venus is the second brightest object in the night sky, the Moon being the brightest. The Hindus call Venus Shukra, meaning “clear, pure, bright”.

Venus is associated with the principles of harmony, beauty, balance, feelings and affections, and the urge to sympathize and unite with others. It is involved with the desire for pleasure, sensuality, personal possessions, comfort, and ease. It governs romantic relations, marriage and business partnerships, sex, the arts, fashion, and social life.

In medicine, Venus is associated with the lumbar region, the veins, parathyroids, throat, and kidneys.

Today, think of Venus, the planet of love, beauty and creativity. Venus inspires art, romance and also fortune. When we consider Venus, we tune into our appearance and attractiveness and our sense of material place in the world. Wear sensual, regal colours like blues and purples and feel the beauty of Venus within you and all around.
