6. Venus
The planet Venus governs love, beauty and balance
on this earth. Beauty is understood and expressed through
forms in the average level. Hence Venus is bound by the
lower aspect of Saturn, form or limitations. The force that
tries to break up the forms to give expansion is governed
by Mars. For this reason, the love of Venus is clouded
with the emotion of Mars. Rearrangement of forms is done
by Uranus, and hence Venus is linked with Uranus to
create better forms. Venus is related with Mercury, when
love is balanced by intelligence to culminate in the pure
buddhic plane. Venus is related with Jupiter to cause the
realisation of beauty through the power of arrangement.
Finally, Venus is linked up with Neptune to give the
experiences of pure love which make man live in cosmic
consciousness. For this reason, Venus undertakes a
dominant role in the evolution of beings on this earth. In
fact, next to Sun, Venus is the presiding Lord over the
evolution of our earth. From time to time, the planetary
Logos of Venus sends its inhabitants to our earth to work
as helpers, guides and Guru-s.
At the present stage of evolution the effect of Venus
is very rarely found free from the emotion of Mars. Love
means, for the majority of mankind, the response of the
desire and mental bodies, to the beauty expressed through
form. Love is understood as only love towards a person,
a thing or a concept. This is an essential factor in evolution,
