#month_Aquarius #month_physical #heart_chakra #daily_alignment >[!todo] Notes for Reviewing Mercury Retrograde: In the times where #Mercury is retrograde (3x per year in average), find out if you are able to assimilate the concepts worked out here. Examine yourself about that. >[!cite] #Venus > wen (indo-europ) = desire, love In the beginning of humanity, #love was related with #desire, because love was only understood because of reproduction. Love was related to the need to be in touch and be with others, so we can procreate. **We can see desire as the unconscious point of view, where as love is the conscious point of view.** Venus is also the #origin of _venerate_, that is to #honor someone but more to desire him or her a lot. **For the romans, Venus is the #godess of love, #generation, #creation and #beauty - just the same as Aphrodite was for the greek.** >[!info] This goddess represented the whole and included all the mothers, as the #mother was very important, the original element to create #life. >It was sacred, everything was related to the concept of the mother, everyone has a mother - so **all the mothers together created the concept of the one #sacred great mother, the goddess of life, beauty, reproduction, #sexuality, life and love.** All the tradition in the ancient worlds honored the #uterus, #womb, the belly, the vagina, boobs - everything of the #feminine body as it was the body of creation. This concept also represented sexuality, because to give birth you need sex. That was sacred too! We cannot seperate that concept. For thousands of years we were living the concept of #monotheism, thus seperating sexuality as something wrong. Today we think we need to transcend that to get to the divine - but this is about #religion. From the beginning of humanity we relate love with sex and seeing both sacred at the same level. >[!attention] Venus is the concept holding the idea of maternity, love and creation. #### Venus as planet **Venus is one of the brightest objects in the sky**. First there isthe #sun, then the #moon, then Venus and #Sirius. >[!info] For the ancient ones Venus was the bringer of light - from the sun to the worlds -and the beauty and creation. All other cultures called this planet the bringer of light. The Venetians called it _Innanna Ishtar_, the brightest light, the mother bringing the #clarity and beauty to this world. In #egypt it was #Hathor, for the greek #Aphrodite and for the romans Venus. The greek also called it _Phosphorus_ - the one that brings the light. The romans called it in latin _Lucipheros_, which would be #Lucifer in our cultures. (see also [[Day 119 - SHADOWS - Nov 30#^835561|here]]), it is _the one that brings the light_. We relate Lucifer with the #devil because in the first traditions it was the first son of god. **He was the first angel helping to bring the light to the planets, until he refused to do it for god, instead wanted to do it on its own.** That would be the opposite site, the #darkness. So he tried to do it as an enemy in the opposite. In #Middle_East they call the one that is against someone as _Shaitan_, that became then Satan. These beings are concepts, that we humanised as stories to understand what is happening in the sky. >[!attention] Venus is related with the light as it is the closest planet to us (besides the moon). >It is related with #water as it rises in the horizon in the seas and desert, relating her to the whole life. **We live because of light, we survive because there is a day!** For us light is a synonym for love, of all being together. For the ancient ones, love was related with seeing the other and to reproduce. Venus is not only the light of the dawn (or sunrise), but also it stands for #fertility and sexuality. To understand why we relate sexuality with the light and day, we need to understand the origin of #humanity, where we needed to reproduce in daylight in that time so that we are not surprised by enemies that easily and because the sexual act needs lots of energy, we have then less for fight or run away. #### Venus as love and desire in the subconsciousness **Venus is the ability or the need of humans to #expand, reproduce and generate life.** Venus is related to that light pushing us from one side to the other, since and before we are proc--- publish: true alias: ---reated, while growing and reproducing ourselves. This is the summary of the concept of life and fertility. We project the idea of the #impulse creating and manifesting life, but in different stages of #consciousness. First comes _**reproduction and sexuality**_, next _**fertility and love**_, then _**ideas and #philosophy**_. These are different kinds to express the #pulse of life, the inner #fire that moves us. >[!attention] If Venus brings the #light, it also intensifies and enlights the inner #fire we have within! This inner fire is the #kundalini, the energy of life that enlights and pushes the #transformation of our inner self, enlighting our inner #power. **The physical aspect of fire is related to power and activating something**. It also incarnates sexuality and reproduction, which then becomes _**sensuality**_. Fire goes into action, the action becomes reproduction, the reproduction becomes sexuality and sexuality evolves into sensuality. Thats the way the fire rises up. >[!cite] Sensuality >sensus = #sense >how you perceive the world through the #five_senses This is the moment when the _desire_ comes in - it wants to receive information through the senses, by being touched and touching, smelling, seeing, listening. **Desire has nothing to do with sex, it is #perception.** >[!attention] Below the #Solar_Plexus, the _desire_ holds the sensuality of senses, the sexual need of reproduction and the sexual action itself. Desire is the need of having and perceiving things for myself. **Above the solar plexus beginning with the #heart, the _passion_ gets activated. **The #passion is the #will, the #strength of giving and sharing, to give from me. **The fire then stops consuming things and turning it into ashes, but enlights and gives heat (energy) to everyone.** That means that this energy is moving by #polarity! Below the solar plexus the energy gets consumed and absorbed and above the solar plexus the energy is relaeased. As we said, **polarity is #axis**. (see also [[Day 156 - POLARITY - Jan 06]]) The negative pole is absorbing the energy and the positive pole is expanding the energy. **The area where the energy shifts from absorbing to expanding is between the solar plexus and the heart.** #### Venus and the Lucifer / Satan aspect **The energy of Venus is inviting us to find #balance and our axis between the two different fires (the consuming and the expanding) in us.** We cannot turn off one fire, we need both of them to work, create and manifest. We need to learn how to handle that energy so that it can move properly. We have two faces of Venus: #Lucifer and #Satan. >[!attention] Lucifer is the concept of giving the light, Satan the concept of absorbing the light and using / consuming the #matter. We come from #monotheistic and #polythesitic traditions, so we like to blame the gods, divinities, entities etc, for the things we are not able to handle by ourselves. Lots of people have the picture of the #evil when we talk about Lucifer in their subconscious, but here we refer to the concept thats behind the word originally, not what has developed in the past thousands of years! >[!info] The real #daemons are natural beings from #4D that eat energy from the living beings. >But we cannot put this hierarchical organisation (god/lucipher/Satan) into them, it is like trying to put into raccoons the structure of a government when they eat our garbage. :) >See also [[Day 119 - SHADOWS - Nov 30#^2a60d4|here]] **The darkness is useful for the universe, but the problem is that we don't know how to handle our own energy so we let them use us instead of we using them.** >[!attention] _Following the light_ (the Lucifer aspect) would mean to live and follow our passions and creativity. >**_Using the matter_ (the Satan aspect) is to rely our life on needs. ** >We have both aspects in our life, the question is how we live it. >[!Example] Lucifer aspect versus Satan aspect You go for the passion and self-realisation but then stop yourself because you have to "work to have something to eat". You know you can do it and release yourself from your poiseneous relationship (Lucifer) , but no you cannot beacause you don't know if you find someone else for a relationship (Satan) >[!note] Venus is teaching us that is only ourselves that we are denying and treason when we do not live our passion and just follow our #needs. >this is a daily betrayal. >We need to understand that our needs are the fuel for our passions! We don't have to elimitate our needs, we just have to know how to handle them. We are creating the #spirit of Satan everytime we betray our own heart. When we know how to handle our needs in order to expand our passions, we can connect all the energy together.** Then we call this pattern LOVE**. >[!attention] #Love is the way how we handle this eternal energy that uses the needs in order to feed our passions. The trap for many people is that they think that following the own passions does not work for them, because "_I have to work to survive_". That is basically true and it is important to understand that **following your passions does not mean you have no work to do!** #Cocreation means also to work on the #creation, to _**do**_ things - it is not just manifesting itself out from the mind! What then happens is that they come back, but you have to move, do things and work. >[!attention] Love is free energy, but to have it moving freely, you have to move! It is not to get rid of everything you do and think is blocking your passions. **It is to find out how the one can serve the other!** But to get there you need to eliminate the idea that you have to choose between the one or the other. These polarities are basicaly one. That means: >[!attention] If i don't love my needs, i am not able to expand my love in my passions! **I have to learn to love my sexuality, passions, way of eating, working, relationships, attachements - everything. Then i will be able to expand the love in my passions!** --- #daily_meditation vibration "Di" I Am the AXIS' BALANCE _Code: **WEST** = The last spacial direction is where everything ends, the ultimate one or destiny. By counter-position, it is the opposite direction to the rotation of a world, and thus, it’s what is released, let go, where the stars in the sky disappear, therefore, the place of burial, of death, of submerging, and for that, of water and oceans. ----- Resource | Link -- | -- English edit |[Day 204 VENUS - Matias De Stefano - English Edit - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqIlAGxfRSY) Blog | [February 23 - YOSOY](https://yosoy.red/yosoy20202022/2021/02/23/) Transcription |[Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/Yosoymeditations/posts/224173469403289) previous | next --- | --- [[Day 203 - MERCURY - Feb 22]]| [[Day 205 - MOON - Feb 24]]
