Course XXXIX - Teaching 15: Venus

Venus is closely related to the Earth. Its physical body, formed by detritus of already existent planets, possesses the entire heaviness of matter and the entire purity of the spirit from the high Hosts inhabiting it.
The Sun illuminates one side, and the others remain in the dark. So, in the morning, it is the Mourning Star, the most pure Mother, the gate of Heaven; and at night it is Satan Vesper sinking its mystical rays in the flames of condensed passions.
Venus is the younger brother of the Earth, and the development of the latter is closely united with that of the former. Certainly, this is so because symbols of the Earth and of Venus are similar; the only difference is that the symbol of Earth shows the cross toward the sky, and that of Venus toward Earth.
The planetary chain of Venus is related to time, less fast than on the Earth; we may say the physical planet of Venus is in the first root race of the fourth Round. So, its evolution is downward in accordance with its symbol. Notice that in accordance with “Secret Doctrine”, Venus is on the last stages of its seventh Round.
But this planet possesses magnetism and emanations of youth that are absent on the Earth: Venus continuously sends to Earth a beneficent atomic rain and drives it to become younger and procreate. Also, as we said earlier, very high Hosts that dwell on Venus periodically re-incarnate on the Earth. Symbolically, we can say they are gods who became men to increase the human evolution.
The influence of Venus on the Earth is all-powerful, and recognized by astrologers and astronomers of all times.
Once beings on the earthly Round reach a higher, Olympic state, they will dwell on the Venus’ Round, expecting there the final evolution of other earthly Host, to join to them and animated a new Round. Of course, not only Venus influences the Earth directly, but also all sidereal bodies of the cosmos do indirectly.
Once men can exactly know where the difference is between planetary, defective planetary and over-abundant planetary influence, then physical and moral diseases will be non-existent; but science now is making use of metals of certain planets.
Their respective influences appear in the following table:
