Venus is the planet of romantic love, beauty, and the arts that are associated with these things. It was named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty. Sociable Venus rules over parties and pleasurable meetings. She accomplishes her goals by attracting only what she wants and rejecting the rest, thus making taste and values two of her special talents. Diplomacy, tact, and gentleness are a few of the arts that are ruled by Venus. In fact, Venus rules anything beautiful, including art that involves refined forms and designs, because everything must achieve harmony before usefulness, at least from Venus's point of view. The love and beauty of Venus has the power to both unite and heal us. A more desirable and powerful combination is difficult to imagine. Venus rules our senses of touch, taste, and smell.
