A Message From Venus

By Michael Laughrin (Michael@jyotish.ws)

[As you may know, I can talk to the planets. Venus wants me to give you this message. - Michael]

Venus says:

People think that I am all about sex. It is true that sex is one of the things in my portfolio, but it is one of the lesser things. Mostly I am about beauty, (artistic) truth and children (the end result of reproduction).

I love flowers, fruits, meadows, honeybees and sweet, refined things. Many people have little or no sense of refinement; for those mud people, the only beauty they see is sex.
Music, dance, laughter and fun are within my purview. My sibling Mercury and I love many of the same items; but Mercury likes to flit around more.

I want your Soul to sing -- perhaps through cooking (for fun, not for necessity), through color, through smell (only sweet, never bitter). I love the dance of sports, even if I do not much care for the sweat or overexertion. Poetry -- especially love poetry -- I adore it. You must *marry* me to gain the higher blessings of the Muse. Musicians and artists know what I mean. To truly be an inspired artist of the Highest ilk, you must worship at my altar every day. Practice, practice, practice. Gardening of flowers appeals to me. I rule inspiration, refined emotions, imagination, and renewal of life and spirit.

Since I am all about beauty, I love balance and the balanced life. In a crude age, life is so rough that many people overeat sweets to get some of my Venus energy somewhere in their (imagined) dark lives.

Here is a possible hierarchy of things that invoke my energy, from the lowest to the highest.

Sex
Food
Sport
Cooking
Rearranging furniture
Crafts
Walking and communing with Nature
Acting in the theatre
Gardening
Poetry
Painting
Filmmaking
Music
Dance
Worshipful singing
Mother Divine mantras or prayers

If only you would spend two to three hours per week on one of my activities (the one you enjoy the most will give the best results), many emotional, physical and spiritual problems will melt away.

Om shri shukraya namaha
