VENUS
Long ago, when the Earth was still cradled in the arms of the divine, there rose from the sea a goddess of shimmering foam.
Aphrodite was born upon the island of Cyprus, from the sea foam that formed when Cronus (Saturn), the Titan god, castrated his father Uranus (the Sky) and cast the severed pieces of his genitals into the ocean. From the churning foam around them, Aphrodite emerged fully formed - a radiant goddess, a cosmic force of creation.
Her name, Aphrodite, means “foam born.” To the Romans she was Venus, goddess of love, beauty, fertility, desire, and sensuality - all the forces that make life worth lingering for.
Where Mars thundered through the world with a war cry, Venus moved like honey—soft, irresistible, and utterly magnetic. But do not mistake her softness for weakness. Venus rules not just hearts, but desire itself: the yearning for beauty, the pull toward pleasure, the sacred need to create something lasting and lovely.
Venus rules the signs of both Taurus and Libra
In Taurus, her rulership reflects her earthly, sensual, and nurturing nature—the goddess who delights in touch, pleasure, and the beauty of the physical world. In Libra, she reveals her airy, intellectual, and harmonious side—the goddess who unites through charm, grace, and fairness. Together, these two signs reveal the full spectrum of her divine influence.
the union of body and soul, matter and ideal, passion and balance.
Taurus
When Aphrodite blooms in You:
When Aphrodite resides in the sign of Taurus as her temple in the heavens, she is strong, steady and rooted. The Bull is a creature who does not rush, for it knows that the best things in life ripen slowly.
If you were born under the sign of Taurus, Venus’s energy moves through your soul like a song without end.
You were made to touch life deeply, not in fleeting sparks, but in lingering warmth. You are the builder, the nurturer, the tender-hearted guardian of peace and beauty.
Taurus energy is:
• Grounded – it trusts in time and in the wisdom of the body.
• Loyal – it loves with quiet fierceness and stays when others flee.
• Sensual – it finds the divine in texture, taste, and touch.
• Patient – it understands the slow unfolding of all worthy things.
• Creative – not as chaos, but in cultivation.
Like the goddess herself, Taurus doesn’t just crave beauty, it creates it. A home filled with comfort. A garden that blooms each year. A life that feels like poetry written in stone.
In a world that rushes, Taurus teaches the sacred art of staying still. Of sinking roots. In finding delight not in the chase, but in the being.
Libra
When Aphrodite blooms in You:
When Aphrodite resides in Libra, she is not the barefoot earth goddess of the fields but moves with the grace of air. In the sign of the Scales, she becomes the lover of equilibrium, connection, and partnerships.
If you were born under the sign of Libra, or if her gentle winds stir your chart, then Venus speaks through you in tones of grace and diplomacy.
You are the harmonizer. The bridge. The bringer of peace.
Libra energy is:
• Relational – not because it needs others to feel whole, but because it sees the divine in the mirror of the other.
• Fair-minded – always seeking justice, beauty, and balance.
• Refined – with a soul that arches for elegance, in thought, word, and space.
• Charming – not in a manipulative way, but in the gentle art of disarming conflict with kindness.
• Idealistic – guided by visions of what could be, if only hearts aligned.
Libra doesn’t want to win – it wants to understand, to unify, to co-create.
