Venus is known as the Evening Star in astromony

Sitting at 108 million kilometers from the Sun, Venus is visible from the Earth and can even be brighter than the Sun and the Moon when close enough. It is incredibly similar to our own planet in terms of chemical composition, mass, and diameter (12,100 km). That said, unlike the Earth, Venus has an opaque atmosphere which makes it impossible to view its surface, and takes 225 days to revolve around the Sun- which is significantly smaller than that of the Earth.

Aphrodite, the Greek representation of Venus, is the goddess of love and beauty, and brings an intimacy that can be likened to that of ‘Venus in Libra’.

Despite her marriage to Vulcan the god of Fire, Venus had an affair with Mars, owing to many perceiving the relationship between the planets Mars and Venus as the most passionate.

According to the Roman legend, Venus was born after her father Ouranos was castrated by his son Cronos. Yes, you heard right… she was created by her father’s genitals falling into the sea!
