Venus




A continuation of detailed looks at the planet quilts:

Venus is represented by Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love, in the Greek pantheon. She is the planet of artists, governing the creative urges, passion in all its guises, from procreation to culture in general. Lush and green, she bursts with growth. Friday is her special day (ah, that weekend ahead!). In the world of power numbers, with sevens popping up all over, Venus claims that number for her own, hence the 7x7 magic square on the back side.

Venus/Aphrodite rules love and affections, art, pleasure, grace, beauty, compassion, marriage, music, friendship, happiness, romance, and harmony.
