Venus denotes the force of attraction in the cosmos. Among human beings this attractive force manifests as love for others and for enjoyment of beauty. Through Venus we relate to others, appreciate the aesthetic principles of balance, harmony, color and sound as well as learn to co-operate.

Venus is the planet of civility, etiquette, admiration and essential for feeling respected. Venus is the planet of love and happiness; both these things ONLY work when we approach them unconditionally. Venus gives love, relationship and luxury, all very powerful elements for experiencing well-being and wholeness on this material plane.

How and Whom You Love is Controlled by Venus
Your Venus describes how you love, whom you love, and what you love. Of course, Venus is the planet of love and romance. Venus’s position in your birth chart can help you answer these questions:

The Sun is not just a celestial object – it is a star with a conscious energy of its own. He is the supreme God. All ancient civilizations, Egyptian, Mayan, Greek, Roman, Chinese, Japanese, Indian etc., tapped into the power of the Sun God. The consciousness that has been attributed to the Sun throughout our history leaves us a glimmer of its true power!

The Sun signifies Rulers, Government, Self-Esteem, Gold, Finance, Speculation and your Life-Force vitality. It rules over our consciousness (i.e. how and what you are aware of) and denotes individuality. The Sun can give you everything or in this upcoming debilitation take it all away!

That is why wherever the Sun is placed in your chart, be sure to identify yourself with those qualities of that Sign! One might think that the traits of their Sun would come easy to them, the truth is, the Sun only shows us the potential of our higher consciousness, but we need to take the necessary steps to bring it forth.

In the chart, the position of the Sun by Zodiac sign represents the style in which you will leave a mark in the world. See the chart below to find out where your innate consciousness resonates:

Our founder, Dattatreya Siva Baba, has commented on the importance of lighting ghee lamps on a regular basis.
