In episode 315, astrologer Becca Tarnas joins the show to talk about the meaning of Venus in astrology and how ancient and modern astrologers have conceptualized it.
Venus traditionally represents beauty, love, relationships, desire, sexuality, romance, harmony, pleasure, art, marriage, and other themes.
This is the fourth part of our series on each of the planets, where we delve into their meaning in astrology.
We continued the discussion by reading a series of passages on Venus by ancient and modern astrologers such as Vettius Valens, Abu Ma’shar, William Lilly, Reinhold Ebertin, Stephen Forrest, and Richard Tarnas.
We then used these passages as jumping off points for a broader discussion of some of the deeper meanings of Venus and its role in interpreting the birth chart.
