For example, if you react to a boyfriend's indiscretions by punishing the other woman, you are displaying Juno energies - she went to extraordinary lengths to avenge her husband's concubines. Or if you like to lay low and stay out of trouble, your ruling goddess is most likely to be Hestia - she only wants a simple, uncomplicated, enriching and contented life. No matter whether you're pleb or celeb, your goddess sign defines how you manage your choices and destinies.

eautiful women are the master of the universe and not men. That is because beautiful women control men, and always have. Man is not much different then a raging bull in heat who will smash through barriers to obtain his female prize. The throne of England was forfeited by a prince in heat. He gave it all up in order to continue a romance with a commoner that drove him wild. Books are filled with stories of men who sacrificed their careers in exchange for a night in bed with a choice female. War secrets were gladly handed over to female espionage agents by horny diplomats. Men are more sex driven than animals. Men desire sexual relations all through the year, animals only when in heat..

Venus was worthy of worship, she was the Roman goddess of beauty. Ancient Rome knew who the boss was. We in modern times refuse to accept the fact that Venus still runs the universe and men are her slaves. All men know this fact to be true and constantly strive to obtain the love of the perfect women. That perfect woman is Venus, and you might get her if you work hard enough.

T
o really get into Halloween mode, let's learn a few things about Venus first.

Venus symbolizes our need for love, beauty, sensuousness, physical and aesthetic pleasure, relationship and values. Love and relationships can be the greatest force for healing and meaning in life. However, heartache and heartbreak often accompanies the experience of love--how can we relate in a healing and transforming way to others and to ourselves, through the power of love?

Aphrodite is the Greek name for Venus. Venus/Aphrodite has indeed been a very beloved goddess, as described with "No goddess was ever so well loved as the goddess of love herself, Venus/Aphrodite. And no goddess has been so well represented in all the arts. Ever since she first stepped from the waves on her celebrated scallop shell, artists have painted and sculpted her, poets have extolled her beauty, and lyricists have composed melodies for her."

WOW! Is this intense or what? The world has been having a love affair with Venus for thousands of years! After you see some of the hot Venus costumes available, you'll know why!

Venus will be transiting through its sign of exaltation i.e. Pisces from 27th January 2009 to 30th May 2009, as per the Vedic Astrology System. Venus will be retrograde between 8th March to 17th April 2009. Pisces is the sign ruled by Jupiter. It rules distant places, secrets, confusions and has a great depth too, being a watery Sign. In fact, all watery signs rule emotions, but Pisces is an 'over-sensitive' sun sign, says Ganesha.


The second closest planet to the Sun is Venus. As per Babylonian Pantheon, Ishtar is a goddess of fertility, love, and war and the same is now known as Venus. Sumerians call it Inanna or Innin or even Ennin. You would be very surprised to know that in the ancient Greece, Phosphorus was the name used for Venus. Hesperus was the Latin name meaning, 'the one who brings the dawn'. In India, it is known as 'Shukra'. Shukra was Bhrigu Rishi and his wife Urjaswati's son. Shukra was born in the year Paarthiva (new year), when it was Shravan Shuddha Ashtami and the Swati constellation was rising. Shukra went to study the Vedas from Rishi Angirasa, but as Angirasa was favouring his son Brihaspati, Shukra decided to study under the guidelines of Rishi Gautama. To achieve more power and knowledge, Shukra decided to perform a penance to appease Lord Shiva. In return, he received the Sanjeevani Mantra (power to revive the dead creatures including human beings).

In Astrology, Venus rules two Signs viz. Taurus and Libra. It gets exalted (becomes powerful) in Pisces and gets debilitated (weakens) in Virgo. Venus rules Arts, wealth in general, opposite sex, material pleasures, reproduction or reproductive organs and kidney. The powerful Venus can easily attract the opposite sex, and it also indicates the artistic abilities that one possesses.

Pisces Sign and the mythological reference
Eros (Kamdev in Indian mythology) and his mother Aphrodite had to save themselves from a devil named Typhon, so, while escaping from the situation, they both turned themselves into fishes, and tried to hide underwater. They tied their tails with a cord so that they don't lose each other (This is why they are seen as going in opposite/different directions), specifically because the water was too dark and deep down there. When Zeus, the Greek 'King of Gods ', the God that rules sky and thunder, both came to know about this event, he decided to place Eros and Aphrodite in the Zodiac and that's how Pisces came into the existence, as the fishes went in two different directions.

She is the symbol of a people who live in the south west part of Nigeria. 'Oronshen' it is not really her name but it is the name she is identified with it. A festival in her honor has been celebrated since the 15th century in Owo kingdom and faithfully every year, for a period of three weeks, the people of Owo remember a love affair, jealousy, betrayal and worship. It is a universal theme you will find in any history, Western or otherwise. It is deification that underlines the finest emotion of sacrifice and fidelity. Who was this lady?

In the true manner of legends and myth, she was half human, half spiritual being who was discovered by a hunter late at night while on his hunting trip. The hunter took the lady home and she lived with him not as a wife but as a guest. However a neighboring powerful king, the king of Owo, saw her and fell in love with her. He married her and thus started off a train of jealousy and rage from the other queens in the palace. 'Oronshen was stunningly beautiful, brought riches and good counseling to the king. He was immersed in her. The queens unable to tolerate being so totally upstaged decided to find out what was her secret. Every god or goddess has an Achilles heel, and the other queens soon discovered it through seduction and trickery.

Her taboos broken, Oronshen disappeared into the forest never to be seen again. There is no grave of this goddess lending immortality, mystery, and excitement to her. There is however archeological proof of the existence of worship of a festival that was instituted by the grieving king and his chiefs that the entire kingdom joined in.

In commemoration of the love and service she rendered to the kingdom. A festival is enacted every year. The king is decked out in coral beads made into a stunning beautiful blouse, he has a white wrap as skirt round him, his hair is in braids like a woman, he has heavy coral beads on his wrists and with his golden sword, he dances to the grove of the goddess, requesting her to continue to protect the kingdom. His dance is the climax of weeks of preparation. You see in every man, woman and child of Owo, the pride of community in the pristine worship they give.
Owo kingdom has a distinct culture; religion and a class system that will make some Western cultures ask themselves why they ever tried to call Africans savages! If you look closely you will find it is the same thing all over the world.

Ignorance breeds fear and creates superstitions; it is the hallmark of the seeking man. Experience lends him knowledge and clarity and makes him progress. No one is so perfect that does need to look for areas of improvement. Maybe if we factor this information into our psyche we might earn respect for each other's culture and be tolerant of what makes us different. You do not call a collection of weeds a garden. However plants of different hues and colors make up the garden that is creation. We are all guest of creation, atheists, agnostics, believers and fundamentalists. The creator teaches us a lesson by the opportunity he provides for us to learn from our differences

What is the lesson of Oronshen?
That love is universal, in its dark shades, and light illuminations. When we hate, we deny ourselves the opportunity to experience the greatest emotion of all!

Halloween Is Almost Here!!- Have You Ordered Your Sexy Venus Plus Size Halloween Costume yet?

Love is the axis on which creation swings. It helps us to grow. So each year, the people of Owo are given the opportunity to reflect on the consequences of a lack of love, they renew a commitment to a symbol of Love that unifies them. They remember Oronshen, their own Venus.

There is a Venus in every culture that reminds us of the essential redeeming quality of man. When we find our Venus, we may find the rationale to be better than yesterday and move more confidently into tomorrow.
