Venus

Also Known As Venusian The adjectival form, as in the Venusian attribution of copper, of Netzach and of the plants of love.
Origin 100 BCE to 200 CE

Venus is the principle of attraction, love, beauty, and value. In myth she is Aphrodite, born of sea foam, goddess of desire and delight, whose girdle no one could resist; the Romans called her Venus, ancestress of their people. She signifies what we love and how we love it, the arts, harmony, pleasure, money, and the impulse to draw things together into relationship. She rules two signs, earthy Taurus and airy Libra, and is exalted in Pisces, in detriment in Aries and Scorpio, and in fall in Virgo, gracious where sensuality and fairness flourish and unsettled where raw drive or cool critique take over. Psychologically she is the capacity for connection, taste, and self-worth, the measure of what feels beautiful and worth having. In the body she rules the kidneys, the throat, the skin, and the sense of touch; she governs Friday; her metal is copper; and her colors are green, rose, and soft pastels.

Venus as a Classical Planet

Venus rules Taurus and Libra, is exalted in Pisces, in detriment in Aries and Scorpio and in fall in Virgo. Ptolemy gives it a temperate and moist nature, and it is the lesser benefic of the classical scheme, Jupiter being the greater; it belongs to the nocturnal sect. Like Mercury it is an inferior planet and never strays far from the Sun, at most about forty-seven degrees, so it is seen only near dawn or dusk, as morning star or evening star. Its natural significations are love, marriage, pleasure, ornament, music, art, harmony, the young, and, in medical astrology, the kidneys and the reproductive system. The distinction between the morning and evening apparitions is old and was interpreted as two aspects of the same power in Mesopotamian, Greek and Mesoamerican traditions alike.

The Latin name Venus renders the Greek Aphrodite, who in turn renders the Babylonian planet-goddess Ishtar, herself a continuation of the still older Sumerian Inanna, so that the association of this planet with love, beauty and desire is not a Greco-Roman invention but a chain of translation running back through at least three civilisations and well over two thousand years. Ptolemy's Tetrabiblos, part of the Hellenistic synthesis of roughly the first century BCE to the second century CE, explains Venus's temperate, moist quality by her nearness to the Sun for warmth and her own considerable brightness for moisture, the same proximity-based reasoning the text applies to every planet. The morning and evening apparitions that give Venus her double character as herald of dawn and dusk were already tracked as a single body's two faces in Babylonian celestial omen-reading centuries before Ptolemy wrote.

Inanna, Ishtar, and the Oldest Planetary Records

Venus carries the longest documented history of any planet. The Venus tablet of Ammisaduqa, a Mesopotamian record of the risings and settings of the planet over twenty-one years, is one of the earliest surviving astronomical texts and is still used in the argument over Babylonian chronology. The planet was Inanna in Sumer and Ishtar in Akkad, a goddess of both love and war whose descent into the underworld and return was read against the planet's disappearance and reappearance; the double character, gentle and violent, belongs to the planet from the beginning and is not a later complication. The Greeks called the morning star Phosphoros and the evening star Hesperos before recognising them as one body, a recognition later Greek writers credited to Pythagoras or to Babylonian informants. In Mesoamerica the Dresden Codex contains a detailed Venus table, and Venus there was associated with war and with the taking of captives.

The Venus tables of both traditions rest on one number. Venus returns to the same phase relative to the Sun every 583.92 days, and five of those synodic periods come to 2,919.6 days, within two and a half days of eight tropical years. The planet therefore repeats its pattern of appearances against very nearly the same calendar dates on an eight year cycle, and successive conjunctions fall at five points evenly spaced around the zodiac, tracing the figure often called the Venus pentagram. The Mesoamerican Venus round of 584 days is that same synodic period rounded to a whole number, which is why the Dresden Codex table works and why it needed periodic correction.

Glyph and Origin

Its glyph is a circle above a cross, traditionally described as a hand mirror. The same sign was later taken up in the biological sciences as the standard mark for the female sex. Venus is one of the seven classical planets of ancient Mesopotamian and Hellenistic astrology. In alchemy the identical sign stood for copper, a metal prized since antiquity for the fine mirrors and ornaments made from it, which may be part of why the hand-mirror reading of the astrological glyph took hold so readily among later commentators, even though no ancient source directly explains the design.

The Romance-language weekday descended from the planet, vendredi in French, venerdi in Italian, preserves the Latin dies Veneris, Venus's day, while English Friday instead carries the name of the Germanic goddess Frigg, substituted for Venus in the same wave of interpretatio germanica that gave Wednesday to Woden in place of Mercury.

Venus's glyph entered the Unicode standard with the rest of the classical planetary set in the Miscellaneous Symbols block of its 1991 release, and it is separately encoded again as the plain "female sign" used in ordinary typography. That second, purely typographic encoding is now by far the sign's most common use worldwide, on restroom doors and official forms, so that most people who read the mark today have never connected it to Venus, the goddess, the metal or the weekday at all.

Exalted In

Pisces, Zodiac Signs

Venus is exalted in Pisces, and the tradition reads love at its most tender and selfless here - affection without condition, compassion that reaches beyond the personal, and a longing to merge completely.

Scorpio, Zodiac Signs

In Fall In

Virgo, Zodiac Signs

Worshipped As

Aphrodite, Deities

Greek astronomy inherited Venus from Babylonian Ishtar and gave it to Aphrodite, whose domain of desire covers the same ground as Ishtar's love aspect but drops the warlike half the Mesopotamian goddess carried.

Benzaiten, Deities

Benzaiten is a Japanese form of the Indian Sarasvati, brought in through Buddhism as a goddess of music, eloquence and flowing water. The Venus pairing is modern; Japanese names Friday Kinyobi, metal day, from the Chinese scheme.

Brigid, Deities

Brigid governs poetry, smithcraft and healing rather than love, so the Venus pairing is thematically loose and modern. Her cult was absorbed into that of Saint Brigid of Kildare, which is where most surviving material comes from.

Freya, Deities

Friday is dies Veneris translated into Germanic, but whether the goddess in question is Freyja or Frigg has never been settled, and the two may once have been a single figure. The planetary link is real; the goddess is disputed.

Hathor, Deities

Hathor comes to Venus by way of the Greek identification of her with Aphrodite during the Ptolemaic period. Egyptian astronomers had their own name for the planet and did not assign it to her.

Inanna, Deities

Ishtar is the earliest securely attested planetary identification of all. Venus as morning and evening star was her body, and the goddess of love and war carried both aspects; Greek Aphrodite and Roman Venus inherit the planet from her.

Quetzalcoatl, Deities

This is genuinely attested and among the most precise astronomy of the ancient Americas. Quetzalcoatl as Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli is Venus as morning star, and Mesoamerican codices tabulate its 584 day cycle with considerable accuracy.

Shukra, Deities

Shukra is preceptor of the asuras and rules Venus in jyotisha, governing pleasure, art and marriage. The weekday Shukravara aligns with dies Veneris and with Friday, among the clearest signs of Hellenistic influence on Indian astrology.

Taibai Jinxing, Deities

This is a direct Chinese planetary identification. Venus is Taibai, the Great White, named for its brilliance, and Taibai Jinxing became a Daoist deity in his own right, the elderly messenger familiar from Journey to the West.

Venus, Deities

The Roman name for this planet has outlasted every other layer of the correspondence, and it descends through Greek Aphrodite from Babylonian Ishtar. Venus herself began as an Italic garden deity before absorbing Aphrodite wholesale.
