Is the expression Venus morning star correct? Evening star venus

Several years ago, being in a completely bad mood, in the waiting room of some airport, I purchased Friedrich Nietzsche’s book “Dawn, or a book on moral prejudices.” And from then on, I really wanted to thank him. For hope. For believing that there are still many morning dawns that have not yet dawned.

Let me make a reservation right away that a lot of the material presented here was taken from other authors from other sites, for which appropriate links have been made. This is more of a research paper on a topic you like.

morning Star

The morning star, the planet Venus, which is the first of the stars to appear in the sky in the evening, and the last to disappear in the morning. The King of Babylon is poetically compared to the Morning Star (Isaiah 14:12: Hebrew Geylel ben-Shachar - “radiance”, “son of the dawn”, in the Synod. Transl. - “Daystar, son of the dawn”). She also serves as a type of Jesus Christ (Rev 22:16; cf. 2 Pet 1:19; Rev 2:28). In Job 38:7 the expression “morning stars” is used in its literal meaning (Source: Brockhaus Biblical Encyclopedia).

VENUS (Latin venia - mercy of the gods) is a symbol of love and beauty. Originally in Roman mythology, the goddess of spring and gardens. Subsequently, with the spread of legends about Aeneas as the ancestor of the Romans, she began to be identified with the Greek goddess of love and beauty, the mother of the Trojan Aphrodite. She was then identified with Isis and Astarte. The Sicilian temple on Mount Eric (Venus Ericinia) played a decisive role in the spread of the cult of Venus. The patronage of the goddess was enjoyed by Sulla, who believed that she brings happiness (hence the nickname Felitsa); Pompeii, who revered her as the Victorious; Caesar, who considered her the ancestor of the Julian family. The constant epithets of Venus in Rome were “merciful”, “purifying”, “equestrian”, “bald”. The last nickname was given to her in memory of the Roman women who gave their hair to make ropes during the war with the Gauls.

The astrological mysticism of Venus was determined by the special proportion of its rotation, opposite to the movement of all other planets in the solar system. One got the impression that Venus is a “planet in reverse.” Therefore, she was often called Lucifer and endowed with demonic traits and was seen as a counterweight to the Sun. Sometimes “Venus” meant the “star Wormwood” mentioned in the Apocalypse.

Venus is a symbol of external, carnal beauty. Therefore, she was called “Morning Star” or “Day Day”. Venus is symmetrical with respect to the Sun to its symbolic male partner Mars. The astrological sign of Venus stood for woman and everything related to the feminist principle. But this woman is not a mother, but a lover. She personifies erotic sensuality. It is no coincidence that sexual diseases received the general name “venereal”.

According to the esoteric legend of a number of Indo-European tribes, the “white race” originates from Venus. The “Children of Venus” - the Luciferites - were opposed to the rest of humanity. Among the Germans, she symbolized Freya. For American Indians, the planet was a symbol of Quetzalcoatl. The “feathered serpent” itself was considered the spirit of Venus.

In Akkadian mythology, Venus is a masculine planet. Among the Sumerians, she was the cosmic personification of Ishtar: the morning one as the goddess of fertility, the evening one as the god of war.

An interesting point, Lucifer (son of Aurora and the Titan Astria) - as an epithet of the planet Venus, is mentioned in the Aeneid:

At that time Lucifer ascended over the peaks of Ida,
Taking the day out.

Lucifer's Star

The word Lucifer is made up of the Latin roots lux "light" and fero "to carry." The first mention of Lucifer is found in the Book of the Prophet Isaiah, written in Hebrew. Here the dynasty of Babylonian kings is compared to a fallen angel, thanks to which the reader learns the story of how one of the cherubim desired to become equal to God and was cast out of heaven for this. The original uses the Hebrew word “heilel” (morning star, morning star):

Is. 14:12-17 How you have fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the dawn! He crashed to the ground, trampling the nations. And he said in his heart: “I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God, and I will sit on the mountain in the assembly of gods, on the edge of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High.” But you are cast into hell, into the depths of the underworld. Those who see you peer into you and think about you: “Is this the man who shook the earth, shook kingdoms, made the universe a desert and destroyed its cities, and did not let his captives go home?

There is a similar place in another Old Testament book, the prophet Ezekiel. It also compares the fall of the city of Tire to the fall of an angel, although he is not called the “morning star”:

Ezek. 28:14-18 You were an anointed cherub to overshadow, and I appointed you to do so; you were on the holy mountain of God, walking among the fiery stones.
You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, until iniquity was found in you. Your inner being was filled with unrighteousness, and you sinned; and I cast you down as unclean from the mountain of God, and drove you, the overshadowing cherub, out of the midst of the fiery stones. Because of your beauty your heart was lifted up, because of your vanity you destroyed your wisdom; Therefore I will throw you to the ground, I will hand you over to shame before kings. With the multitude of your iniquities you have defiled your sanctuaries; and I will bring fire from among you, which will consume you: and I will turn you into ashes on the earth in the sight of all who see you.

It should be borne in mind that in the New Testament Jesus Christ was compared to the morning or dawn star (Numbers 24:17; Psalm 89:35-38, 2 Peter 1:19, Rev. 22:16, 2 Peter 1:19) .

Open 22:16 I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the root and descendant of David, the bright and morning star.
2 Peter 1:19 And moreover we have the most sure word of prophecy; and you do well to turn to him as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts

Jerome of Stridon, when translating the indicated passage from the Book of Isaiah, used in the Vulgate the Latin word lucifer (“luminous,” “light-bringing”), which was used to designate the “morning star.” And the idea that, like the king of Babylon, cast down from the heights of earthly glory, Satan was once cast down from the heights of heavenly glory (Luke 10:18; Rev. 12:9), led to the fact that the name Lucifer was transferred to Satan. This identification was also reinforced by the Apostle Paul's remark about Satan, who “disguises himself as an angel of light” (2 Cor. 11:14).

However, Jerome himself did not use the word “luminous” as a proper name, but only as a metaphor. The creator of the Vulgate used this word in other passages of Scripture, even in the plural. However, it was Jerome's translation, which enjoyed enormous authority in the Christian world, that ultimately served as the basis for giving the Latin equivalent of the Hebrew "heilel" the meaning of Satan's personal name. In the King James Bible, the phrase took on a different meaning: “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!” Written with a capital letter, the appeal was no longer perceived as a metaphor. These words could no longer be perceived as a song about victory over the king of Babylon; it was a direct appeal to Satan.

E.P. Blavatsky once wrote the following. “Lucifer” is a pale morning star, a harbinger of the dazzling radiance of the midday sun - “Eosphos” of the Greeks. It shines timidly at sunset in order to accumulate strength and dazzle the eyes after sunset, like its own brother “Hesperus” - the shining evening star, or the planet Venus. There is no more suitable symbol for the proposed work - to throw a ray of truth on everything that is hidden in the darkness of prejudice, social or religious errors, and especially thanks to that idiotic routine way of life, which, as soon as some act, some thing or name, was disgraced by a slanderous fabrication, however unjust it may be, makes so-called respectable people turn away from it with a shudder and refuse even to simply look at it from any other side than that which is sanctioned by public opinion. Therefore, such an attempt to force cowardly people to face the truth is very effectively helped by a name belonging to the category of cursed names.

Devout readers may object that the word "Lucifer" is accepted by all churches as one of the many names of the devil. According to Milton's majestic fantasy, Lucifer is Satan, the “rebellious” angel, the enemy of God and man. But if one analyzes his rebellion, one cannot find in it anything more evil than the demand for free will and independent thought, as if Lucifer had been born in the 19th century. This epithet, “rebellious,” is a theological slander, similar to the slanderous fabrications of fatalists about God, who make of the deity the “Almighty” - the devil, even more evil than the “rebellious” spirit itself; “an all-powerful Devil who wants to be hailed as all-merciful when he displays the most diabolical cruelty,” as J. Cotter Morison says. Both the foreseeing God-devil and his subordinate servant are human inventions; these are two of the most morally disgusting and terrible theological dogmas that could ever emerge from the nightmares of the disgusting fantasies of daylight-hating monks.

They go back to the Middle Ages, that period of mental obscurity during which most of the modern prejudices and superstitions were forcibly introduced into the minds of people, so that they became practically ineradicable in some cases, one of which is the modern prejudice now under discussion.

I cannot help but mention here the wonderful work of E.P. Blavatsky's "The History of a Planet", which touches on the same topic. I don’t want to create a clutter, so anyone interested can read this material on their own.

Earendil

I learned about the existence of this character and everything interesting that is connected with him at a lecture by Leonid Korablev. And this knowledge inspired me no less than the book I once bought at the airport.

What is Erendil? This is hope without any reason.

Planet Venus. The Star of Eärendil was the brightest celestial body after the Sun and Moon. The light of the star came from the Silmaril, which was held by Eärendil the Mariner, who sailed across the sky on his ship Vingiloth. Eärendil was best seen at sunrise and sunset, as the Morning and Evening Star. The Star of Eärendil was a source of hope for the people of Middle-earth.

Eärendil the Mariner sailed to the Undying Lands in 542 of the First Age to seek the Valar's aid in the war against Morgoth. He was the Valar agreed, but Arendil was forbidden to return to Middle-earth. He was doomed to sail through the sky forever on his ship Vingilote (made of mithril and glass) with the Silmaril on his forehead.

When the Star of Earnedil first crossed the sky, Maedhros and Maglor realized that the light came from one of the Silmarils made by their father Fëanor. The people of Middle-earth named her Gil-Estelle, Star of Highest Hope, and found hope again. Morgoth began to doubt, but still did not think that the Valar would start a war against him. The host of the Valar came to Middle-earth in 545 and thus began the War of Wrath. In 589, Eärendil abandoned his heavenly path and led Vingilot into battle, where he defeated Ancalagon the Black. The Valar drove Morgoth beyond the Doors of Night into the Timeless Void, and Eärendil returned to his course to guard the skies against Morgoth's return. Eärendil's wife Elwing was not with him. She lived in a tower on the shores of the Undying Lands. The birds brought her a pair of wings and taught her to fly, and from time to time she rose into the sky to meet Earendil when he returned from his heavenly journey.

In the year 32 of the Second Age, the Star of Eärendil shone especially brightly in the west as a sign that Númenor was ready for the arrival of the Men who fought Morgoth. The people sailed to their new home, led by the light of the Star, which was visible during the day as well as at night throughout their journey. The leader of the Numenoreans was Elros, son of Earnedil and brother of Elrond.

During the War of the Ring at the end of the Third Age, Galadriel gave Frodo Baggins a Vial filled with water from her Mirror of Galadriel, which contained the light of the Star of Eärendil. Sam Gamgee used the Vial when he fought Shelob, and the Great Spider fled in agony from the shining light. In Mordor on the night of March 15, 3019, Sam saw the Star of Eärendil in the western sky through a gap in the clouds.

Her beauty struck him straight to the heart. He looked at her from the center of the abandoned lands, but hope returned to him. And like a spear, a clear and cold thought penetrated his mind - Sam realized that, after all, the Shadow was just a small and fleeting thing. After all, there was a bright and high beauty that was beyond her reach.

The Return of the King: "The Land of Shadow," p. 199. (Source WLOTR Encyclopedia).

The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, burning like a lamp, and fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. The name of this star is “wormwood”; and a third of the waters became wormwood, and many of the people died from the waters, because they became bitter (Rev. 8:10-11). From the text it is clear that this event is necessary
attributed not to the present, but to the future eschatological time.

Archbishop Averky (Taushev) explains this passage as follows: “Some people think that this meteor will fall to the ground and poison water sources on earth, which will become poisonous. Or maybe this is also one of the newly invented methods of a future terrible war” (Apocalypse or revelations of St. John the Theologian. History of writing, rules for interpretation and analysis of the text).

Wormwood (Heb. laana; Greek apsinthos) in the Bible is a symbol of the punishments of the Lord: And the Lord said: Because they forsook My law, which I decreed for them, and did not listen to My voice and did not walk in it; but they walked according to the stubbornness of their hearts and after the Baals, as their fathers taught them. Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will feed them this people with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink (Jer. 9:13-15)

Goddesses of love from the Roman pantheon. It is the only one of the eight major planets in the Solar System to be named after a female deity.

Venus is the third brightest object in the Earth's sky after the Sun and Moon and reaches an apparent magnitude of −4.6. Because Venus is closer to the Sun than Earth, it is never more than 47.8° away from the Sun (for an observer on Earth). Venus reaches its maximum brightness shortly before sunrise or some time after sunset, which gave rise to the name Evening Star or morning Star.

The surface of Venus is hidden by extremely thick clouds of sulfuric acid clouds with high reflective characteristics, which makes it impossible to see the surface in visible light (but its atmosphere is transparent to radio waves, with the help of which the planet’s topography was subsequently studied)

It is interesting that all the details of the relief of Venus bear female names, with the exception of the highest mountain range of the planet, located on Ishtar Earth near the Lakshmi Plateau and named after James Maxwell

Impact craters are a rare element of the Venusian landscape. There are only about 1,000 craters on the entire planet. The picture shows two craters with diameters of about 40-50 km. The interior area is filled with lava. The "petals" around craters are areas covered with crushed rock thrown out during the explosion that formed the crater.

Venus is easy to recognize because it is much brighter than the brightest stars. A distinctive feature of the planet is its smooth white color (see photo above). Venus, like Mercury, does not move very far from the Sun in the sky.

Large craters on Venus are named after the names of famous women, while small craters are named after women's names. Examples of large ones: Akhmatova, Barsova, Barto, Volkova, Golubkina, Danilova, Dashkova, Ermolova, Efimova, Klenova, Mukhina, Obukhova, Orlova, Osipenko, Potanina, Rudneva, Ruslanova, Fedorets, Yablochkina. Examples of small ones: Anya, Katya, Olya, Sveta, Tanya, etc.

The non-crateral relief forms of Venus receive names in honor of mythical, fairy-tale and legendary women: the hills are given the names of goddesses of different nations, the relief depressions are given the names of other characters from various mythologies:

Lands and plateaus are named after the goddesses of love and beauty; tesserae - named after the goddesses of fate, happiness and good luck; mountains, domes, regions - are called by the names of various goddesses, giantesses, titanides; hills - names of sea goddesses; the ledges are named after the goddesses of the hearth, the crowns are named after the goddesses of fertility and agriculture; ridges - the names of sky goddesses and female characters linked in myths with sky and light.
Furrows and lines are named after warlike women, and canyons are named after mythological characters associated with the Moon, hunting and forests.

Transit of Venus across the Sun

Poems, paintings, novels, and films were dedicated to Venus.

Dante Gabriel Rosseti Venus

VENUS IS A BIBLE GARDEN...

Twin of the earth burning in the night,
And before there was a wonderful garden there,
And life-giving light.

Venus is the biblical hell,
Her foggy red light
And the soil is stinking...
How to unravel her secret?

Venus is the biblical hell,
Was the most beautiful of the planets,
There was water and smoothness and harmony,
Now there is no life there.

There's a lot of lightning and winds,
Its volcanoes are alive,
From lava fire cover
And hot fountains.

She is beautiful and bright...
In an outfit of light gases,
She is like passion tart, bitter, -
The shine of diamonds is dangerous.

So love is its source...
(As long as there is a measure in everything) -
Heat and light conductor...
Messages of Lucifer.

His mysterious double...
Night shadow Hesperus,
Love has many faces...
Among the celestial spheres.

Poems by Larisa Kuzminskaya

Sandro Botticelli The Birth of Venus

Poliziano, “Giostra” (fragment):
The stormy Aegean, the cradle through the womb
Fedita swam among the foamy waters,
Creation of a different sky,
The dissimilar person stands up to face people
In a charming pose, looking animated,
There is a young virgin in her. Attracts
Marshmallow in love sinks the shell to the shore,
And their heavens rejoice in their flight.
They would say: the true sea is here.
And the sink with foam - like living ones,
And you can see that the goddess’s eyes are shining.
The sky and the elements are smiling before her.
There, in white, Ora walks along the shore,
The wind ruffles their golden hair.
You could see how she came out of the water,
She holds with her right hand
His hair, the other covering his nipple,
At the feet of the saints are her flowers and herbs
The sand was covered with fresh greenery.

Kustodiev Russian Venus

The second planet from the Sun is Venus. Unlike Mercury, it is very easy to find in the sky. Everyone has noticed how sometimes in the evening the sky lights up in a still very bright sky. evening star". As the dawn fades, Venus becomes brighter and brighter, and when it gets completely dark and many stars appear, it stands out sharply among them. But Venus does not shine for long. An hour or two passes and she comes in. She never appears in the middle of the night, but there is a time when she can be seen in the morning, before dawn, in the role of "morning star" It’s already dawn, all the stars have long since disappeared, and the beautiful Venus is shining and shining against the bright background of the morning dawn.

People have known Venus since time immemorial. Many legends and beliefs were associated with it. In ancient times they thought that these were two different luminaries: one appears in the evenings, the other in the mornings. Then they realized that it was the same luminary, the beauty of the sky, " evening and morning starEvening star"has been sung more than once by poets and composers, described in the works of great writers, and depicted in paintings by famous artists.

In terms of brilliance, Venus is the third luminary of the sky, if the Sun is considered first, and the Moon second.. It is not surprising that it can sometimes be seen during the day - in the form of a white dot in the sky.

Venus's orbit lies inside the Earth's orbit, and it circles the Sun in 224 days, or 7.5 months. The fact that Venus is closer to the Sun than the Earth is the reason for the peculiarities of its visibility. Like Mercury, Venus can only move away from the Sun to a certain distance, which does not exceed 46?. Therefore, it sets no later than 3 - 4 hours after sunset, and rises no earlier than 4 hours before morning. Even with the weakest telescope it is clear that Venus is not a point, but a ball, one side of which is illuminated by the Sun, while the other is immersed in darkness.

Watching Venus day after day, you will notice that it, like the Moon and Mercury, goes through the entire change of phases.

Venus is usually easy to see with field binoculars. There are people with such acute vision that they can see the crescent of Venus even with the naked eye. This happens for two reasons: firstly, Venus is relatively large, it is only slightly smaller than the globe; secondly, in certain positions it comes close to the Earth, so that the distance to it decreases from 259 to 40 million km. This is the closest large celestial body to us after the Moon.

In a telescope, Venus appears very large, much larger than the Moon to the naked eye. It would seem that you can see a lot of details on it, for example mountains, valleys, seas, rivers. Actually this is not true. No matter how many times astronomers looked at Venus, they were always disappointed. The visible surface of this planet is always white, monotonous, and nothing is visible on it except vague dim spots. Why is this so? The answer to this question was given by the great Russian scientist M.V. Lomonosov.

Venus is closer to the Sun than Earth. Therefore, sometimes it passes between the Earth and the Sun, and then it can be seen against the background of the dazzling solar disk in the form of a black dot. True, this happens very rarely. The last time Venus passed in front of the Sun was in 1882, and the next time it will be in 2004. The passage of Venus in front of the Sun in 1761 was observed by M. V. Lomonosov, among many other scientists. Carefully watching through a telescope how the dark circle of Venus appears against the fiery background of the solar surface, he noticed a new phenomenon, previously unknown to anyone. When Venus covered the disk of the Sun more than half its diameter, a fiery rim, as thin as hair, suddenly appeared around the rest of the globe of Venus, which was still against the dark background of the sky. The same thing was visible when Venus left the solar disk. Lomonosov came to the conclusion that it was all about the atmosphere - the layer of gas that surrounds Venus. In this gas, the sun's rays are refracted, bend around the opaque globe of the planet and appear to the observer in the form of a fiery rim. Summing up his observations, Lomonosov wrote: “The planet Venus is surrounded by a noble air atmosphere...”

This was a very important scientific discovery. Copernicus proved that the planets are similar to the Earth in their motion. Galileo's first observations through a telescope established that the planets are dark, cold balls on which there is day and night. Lomonosov proved that on planets, as on Earth, there can be an ocean of air - an atmosphere.

The air ocean of Venus differs in many ways from our earthly atmosphere. We have cloudy days, when a continuous opaque cover of clouds floats in the air, but there are also clear weather, when the Sun shines through the transparent air during the day, and thousands of stars are visible at night. It's always cloudy on Venus. Its atmosphere is always covered with white cloud cover. This is what we see when we look at Venus through a telescope.

The solid surface of the planet turns out to be inaccessible for observation: it is hidden behind a dense cloudy atmosphere.

And what is under this cloud cover, on the very surface of Venus? Are there continents, seas, oceans, mountains, rivers? We don't know this yet. Cloud cover makes it impossible to spot any features on the planet's surface and figure out how quickly they are moving due to the planet's rotation. Therefore, we do not know at what speed Venus rotates around its axis. About this planet we can only say that it is very warm, much warmer than on Earth, because it is closer to the Sun. It has also been established that there is a lot of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of Venus. As for the rest, only future researchers will be able to tell about it.

Venus, the second most distant planet from the ☼ Sun and the closest planet to Earth in the solar system, astronomical sign. Venus was also known as the Morning Star, Hesperus, Vesper, the Evening Star, Phosphorus, and Lucifer. The average distance from the Sun is 108 million km (0.723 astronomical units). The sidereal period is 224 days. 16 hours 49 minutes 8 seconds. For an observer on earth, the angular distance of Venus from the Sun does not exceed 48°, as a result of which it is visible only for some time shortly before its rise (morning star).

Venus is the brightest luminary (after the Sun and Moon) in the earth's sky. At its maximum brightness it reaches magnitude 4.4; the phases of Venus (discovered by G. Galileo in 1610) can be noticed by people with exceptionally good eyesight with the naked eye.

According to the esoteric legend of a number of Indo-European tribes, the “white race” originates from Venus. The “Children of Venus” - the Luciferites - were opposed to the rest of humanity. The alchemical metal of Venus is copper. Its musical counterpart is the note G. Animals of Venus - bull, panther, goat, seal; birds - dove and sparrow; plants - verbena, fig tree; stones - emerald, garnet, chrysolite. The color semantics of the planet is blue. Countries under the patronage of Venus are Persia, Spain, India; cities - Vienna, Paris, Florence.

"Lucifer" is a dim morning star, a harbinger of the dazzling radiance of the midday sun, "Eosphorus" of the Greeks. It twinkles timidly at sunset to accumulate strength and dazzle the eyes after sunset like its own brother, “Hesperus” - the shining star, or planet Venus. There is no more suitable symbol for the proposed work - than to shed a ray of truth on everything that is hidden in the darkness of prejudice, social or religious errors; especially those caused by that idiotically routine way of life, which, as soon as an act, thing or name has been disgraced by a slanderous fabrication, however unjust it may be, makes so-called respectable people turn away with a shudder and refuse even to even look at it with any respect. any other side, except that which is sanctioned by public opinion.

Therefore, such an attempt to force cowardly people to face the truth is very effectively helped by the name classified as cursed names.

Devout readers may object that the word "Lucifer" is accepted by all churches as one of the many names of the devil. According to Milton's grand fantasy, Lucifer is Satan, the "rebellious" angel, the enemy of God and man. But if you analyze his rebellion, you cannot find anything more evil in it than the demand for free will and independent thought.

Lucifer, the bringer of light, is a natural teacher and mentor for any magician.

Lucifer - planet ♀ Venus, like the bright “Morning Star”, is nothing more than the Light of the Supreme Soul reflected in rough earthly matter or the “inverted” Christ, therefore Lucifer is translated as the bearer of Light - the spark that gave birth to the human intellect or the “false light”, without which the lower animal soul a person could never be enlightened by the True Light of the Supreme World Soul. Therefore, in “Revelation” (ХХП, 16) the Christian Savior puts into his mouth the words about himself: “I am... the bright and morning star” or Lucifer.

Lucifer is the feminine principle of God. The feminine nature of Lucifer is the basis on which “he” is correlated with Venus, the Morning Star and is found to correspond with those properties and associations that have traditionally been considered feminine: such as instinct, beauty, pride, and, of course, temptation.

Venus-Lucifer, the morning star rising before the sun belongs to that type of emotional activity which, symbolically speaking, precedes the self. This is not necessarily an extroverted, particularly intense or unrestrained type of emotionality, although this is often the general tendency. This is the type of person who comes out to meet the world, first of all, to meet other people with greedy anticipation, as if life itself depended on the result of the meeting; if, however, this expectation ends in disappointment, the person may appear outwardly cold and withdrawn, but this is only a mask of self-defense.

Venus-Lucifer represents the quality of youthful experiences. The strings of feelings are stretched to the limit. A feeling of personal insecurity prevails; feelings serve as guides and pointers. Later, perhaps, these feelings will receive the more mature and respectable name of intuition, but the nature of the process remains essentially the same. One feels situations and people in an act of almost immediate ethical judgment. They are good or bad specifically for him and at a specific time. He acts according to his feeling, how he needs to act, very often infecting with his feeling, his warmth. This type includes (if you choose at random) Walt Whitman, Richard Wagner, Vincent Van Gogh, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Napoleon I, Mussolini, Maria Montessori (the great teacher), F. Roosevelt; This is Venus in the US birth chart.

Morning Venus creates magnetic fields and archetypes, that is, it gives form to the spiritual release of solar energy, the source of all manifestations, and not a specific, physical form (which belongs to the sphere of Saturn), but an archetypal spiritual pattern of energy, a network of electro-magnetic forces. A person with a strong Venus-Lucifer in his birth chart naturally strives to project his vision and purpose of life into the world, to impose on those around him the rhythm of his essential being. He feels like a proclaimer, a mouthpiece for God, pouring himself out emotionally and often proudly into his creations. This emotional outpouring can be neutralized by other factors

This zodiacal arcana corresponds to ♒ Aquarius:

♒ Aquarius has two rulers: ♅ Uranus and ♄ Saturn. They endowed ♒ Aquarians with breadth of mind, intelligence and the ability to penetrate the most mysterious secrets of the universe. The main driving idea and force of ♒ Aquarius is some higher idea, which he strives to immediately bring to life. This often makes him incomprehensible to others and sometimes brings suffering ♒ Aquarius, who strives to communicate with people. He wants to reveal to people some of the secrets known to him, he is often endowed with clairvoyant abilities, and can act as a soothsayer or magician.

However, internal inconsistency prevents full self-expression, which makes Aquarius irritable and pushes others away from him. Constant attempts to reconcile and balance your inner depth and mystery with external energy and simplicity can hinder Aquarius in life. Meanwhile, this is one of the most humane and altruistic signs. If Aquarius has a strong will, he can curb his passions and ultimately achieve what he wants. This is facilitated by determination and stubbornness.

The basis of the nature of any ♒ Aquarius is duality. At the same time, they strive for universal love and fame, ideal spirituality and material well-being, independence and prestige. However, they rarely give themselves entirely to any impulse, preferring some contemplation. However, the strong type ♒ Aquarius can be very active and adamant. They have very developed intuition, but a weak type can become jealous, insensitive, and unfriendly, especially if he is obsessed with the desire to get ahead.

In love they are very sentimental, mystical and chaste. They enter into marriage very reluctantly, even if we are talking about great love, because they instinctively hate any fetters, even happy ones. They rarely focus on family, preferring friends or the good of humanity as a whole. The tendency to idealize often leads them to bitter disappointments. Aquarius men are especially prone to such idealization. Women are very sensitive, but they are just as freedom-loving as men and are just as inclined to elevate their chosen one to an unattainable pedestal. They are not immediately disappointed, but once disappointed, they leave their partner forever.

They fit well into any team, are not envious, have an easy-going and good disposition, and are always willing to help newcomers. Having become a leader, they manage to maintain good relations with everyone, willingly share their plans and are never rude dictators. They are always full of fresh and unexpected ideas that they try to implement. They are very disciplined, responsible, enjoy universal respect and often love. They are not interested in money at all, which is why Aquarians often turn out to be truly poor people.

They treat luxury with surprising indifference, even if their wealth allows them to surround themselves with unprecedented comfort. They spend money unscrupulously and ineptly, preferring to spend it on others rather than on themselves. They have artistic abilities, express themselves best in art, and are good workers in television, cinema, education, spiritual mentoring, psychology, and sociology.

It is very easy to find it in the sky. Everyone has noticed how sometimes in the evening an “evening star” lights up in a still very bright sky. As the dawn fades, Venus becomes brighter and brighter, and when it gets completely dark and other stars appear, it stands out sharply among them. But Venus does not shine for long. An hour or two passes and she comes in. She never appears in the middle of the night, but there is a time when she can be seen in the morning, before dawn, in the role of the “morning star.” It is already dawn, all the other stars have long since disappeared, and Venus continues to shine and shine against the bright background of the morning dawn.

People have known Venus since time immemorial. Many legends and beliefs were associated with it. In ancient times they thought that these were two different luminaries: one appears in the evenings, the other in the mornings. Then they realized that this was the same luminary, the beauty of the sky, the “evening and morning star” - Venus. The “Evening Star” has been sung more than once by poets and composers, described in the works of great writers, and depicted in paintings by famous artists.

In terms of brilliance, Venus is the third luminary of the sky, if the Sun is considered first, and . It is not surprising that it can sometimes be seen during the day - in the form of a white dot in the sky.

Venus's orbit lies inside the Earth's orbit, and it circles the Sun in 224 days, or 7 ½ months. The fact that Venus is closer to the Sun than the Earth is the reason for the peculiarities of its visibility. Like Mercury, Venus can only move away from the Sun a certain distance, which does not exceed 46°. Therefore, it sets no later than 3-4 hours after sunset, and rises no earlier than 3-4 hours before morning.

Even with the weakest telescope it is clear that Venus is not a point, but a ball, one side of which is illuminated by the Sun, while the other is immersed in darkness.

Watching Venus day after day, you will notice that she, like Moon Mercury, goes through all the changes of phases.

The passage of Venus in front of the Sun in 1761 was observed, among many other scientists, by M. V. Lomonosov. Carefully watching through a telescope how the dark circle of Venus appears against the fiery background of the solar surface, he noticed a new phenomenon, previously unknown to anyone. When Venus covered the disk of the Sun by more than half of its diameter, a fiery rim, as thin as hair, suddenly appeared around the rest of the ball of Venus, which was still against the dark background of the sky. The same thing was visible when Venus left the solar disk. came to the conclusion that it was all about the atmosphere - the layer of gas that surrounds Venus. In this gas, the sun's rays are refracted, bend around the opaque globe of the planet and appear to the observer in the form of a fiery rim. Summing up his observations, Lomonosov wrote: “The planet Venus is surrounded by a noble air atmosphere...”

This was a very important scientific discovery. proved that the planets are similar to the Earth in their motion. With his first observations through a telescope, he established that the planets are dark, cold balls on which there is day and night. Lomonosov proved that on planets, as on Earth, there can be an ocean of air - an atmosphere.

The solid surface of the planet turns out to be inaccessible for observation: it is hidden behind a dense cloudy atmosphere.
