Venus-the planet whose symbol looks like a hand mirror, reflects our
needs and beliefs toward personal (Taurus) and social (Libra)
reflection. Because reality-(physical reality that is) is
necessarily-by definition-made of polarities, counterparts,
reflections, shadows and reflected "parts"that on the spiritual or
non-physical levels are one, we therefore create the idea of Venus as
a way to understand this polarity.
A way to reflect back to us the idea that we are the reality we have
chosen to play the game of existing outside of us, so we could look at
certain lines or specificity of idea manifestation or experiences.
Hence Venus is the symbol for the concept of mind in matter-or the
mind/matter mirror.
The "Mask of Eternity" a relief that stands just outside Bombay India
is the metaphor-a symbol of the effect of transcendent God manifesting
in the masculine and feminine polarized "versions" of itself. One face
in the center (the transcendent one) and a male face on one side and
female on the other looking out and AWAY from center, represent and
reflect what GOD LOOKS LIKE in physicality. The POLARIZED VERSION in
matter.
Therefore, because we create this definition of separateness (Mars,
the first house and the idea of "birth" within time) from the
undifferentiated wholeness "All That Is," the planet Venus acts as the
reflective mirror for the parts of us that we are NOT focused on in
this life. We meet these other reflections of the self through
relation****ps (Libra) and through "things" (Taurus) that we may
possess-these are our other resources of the self. Hence Venus
represents personal and social reflections. It's reversed spin, like
that of Uranus keys us into the need to sometimes go against the
"grain" accepted flow, to "****ne brightly."
If we believe ourselves incomplete, then our relation****ps will
reflect the idea of incompleteness. If we know we lack nothing, that we
are
complete as we are-perhaps just focused differently for the moment-but
complete none-the-less, then we will see this manifested version of
the self.
The first division of self comes in the form of an apparent separation
from self and resource (Aries/Taurus) and full separation occurs at
Libra, where the self is encountered in apparently separate
"others"(which also is reflected in the "externalization"in the
physical manifestation of belief-of ANY aspect by opposition).
Are there really others? Of course, but our version of them is shown
and reflected through our beliefs and definitions about relation****p
that we then PROJECT into these relation****ps. Much negativity has
been thrown at projection-:-) but it is the effect of being incarnate
in the focus of physicality and is not inherently "bad". It is just
another way to experience the self.
All the below are the BASIC energy motions (beliefs) that all
derivations of effect about these aspects come from.
Venus in developmental tension or conjunction with;
Mars=3Dreflects beliefs of competition in relating to the reflection.
The need to compromise through the recognition that the reflection IS
the
self. A strong belief in the separation of the masculine and feminine.
Moon=3Demotional security concerns that establish identity are believed
separate, hence social acceptance issues are highlighted. Insecurity
about popularity. Deprivation fears are tied to reflections.
Jupiter=3Dexaggeration of personal popularity to gain access to broader
views through idea interaction, possibly from beliefs of scarcity in
the same area. Overdoing the reflective needs from the disbelief in
finding same. The need to have the beliefs and opinions recognized by
others for ego validation.
Saturn=3Dthe fears and giving of power to physicality are brought into
relation****p needs. Strategy, material concerns and mistrust color
interactions with reflections. There is conservation from the fear of
"loss" which of course results in "loss" if the belief is not seen and
redefined.
Uranus=3Dthe need for explorations and waking up to the unconscious
knowledge regarding the self through reflections. There may be
temperament and impulsiveness in following reflections in this search.
Needs for the avant garde in relation****p usually resulting from
repression of natural aggression. The need to recognize choice in
relation****p.
Neptune=3Dthe unreal, camouflage spirituality are introduced into the
reflective needs. This is the sensitive and DISSOLVING of barriers
between the other and the self. There can be co-fusion (the positive
aspect of recognizing the self IN the other) or con-fusion (the
negative perception of identity LOSS from reflection interaction).
Pluto=3DBecause of the need for emotional significance (from feelings of
"smallness") the needs for power because of the disbelief in enough of
it are brought into relation****p. Power struggles, jealousy, envy and
"poker playing and bluffing" with emotional expressions can be the
negative effects of this disbelief in self power. Positively, the
individual can come to the recognition through this developmental
process that the self is reflected through others and that they serve
in that way to show the individual where they believe they lack
emotional significance and feel powerless.
