Venus – the Goddess of love, passion and beauty
Venus, in Sanskrit is called ‘Shukra’ literally means semen and referred as the morning star, symbol of luxury, wealth, beauty, art, elegance, grace, charm and power. Mythological texts refer Venus as teacher of demons who taught them all aspects of traditional warfare and tactics from casting charms to hypnotize and immobilize the enemy. Venus, a Brahmin, teacher of demons depicted in two different images, the first being a fair skinned youth personified with sensual, love and graceful expressions with hypnotizing eyes and radiant physique and other image is that of a supreme Brahmin teacher of the demons with matted hair with fully grown beard and focused eyes. These images indicate two distinct sides of Venus – the sensuous side of human side which influences aspects of love, passion, lust and other quality of regularizing and leading demonic forces. Venus stands to represent all worldly pleasures and power that can unseat the mighty and the power drawn through sexual unions that relates to Tantra and as we see that dilution of sex is mandatory means of practice of tantra. Venus also connects with witches, charms, occult, black magic and other means of deadly practices and draws tremendous strength in the morning hours.
Venus belongs to the Brahmin caste (Priests and teachers class, highest in order among 4-caste pattern of social classes practiced in Hinduism in ancient days) and regarded as advisor in celestial cabinet. The ancient astrological texts bear the mention of classifying this celestial body as female gender and attributed to the rajas guna. The nature of this cosmic force is categorized as benefic. This cosmic force has been considered as an average stature and command over the southeast direction with the element of water.
