Venus and Mars-worth and validation indicies of the personality
EHWollmann
The planets Venus and Mars are the planets that reflect the idea of identity
and it's validation factors. The feminine (Venus) and masculine (Mars)
functions represent the energy of an idea-that drives an idea-and its
corresponding resourcefullness and reflection in physicality, respectively.
Venus, the lens of the lights of Taurus and Libra with its heavy clouds,
reflects the light of the Sun brilliantly-and hence symbolizes the belief in
resource-fullness and mind reflected through matter. The ability to have what
we need when we need it (the true definition of abundance). This reflecting
and aborption of the light of the sun allows this feminine function TO NURTURE
and SUPPORT the driving force of identity in its exploration of itself (Mars).
It is self worth and a feeling (belief) in the unlimited support of the
multiverse that allows us to creatively extend ourselves and give love with
trust (Leo, the 5th and the Sun).
Mars, the rocky and almost ATMOSPHERELESS planet acts as the lens of the light
of Aries, the manifestation of identity definition and separation from "All
That Is" as one of the different ways it has of expressing itself through each
and every one of us. Natural aggression is the synchronistic, effortless
expression of the idea you are at any given moment WITH TRUST. This trust is a
given when the belief in resource-fullness reflected through Venus and its
support of the identity through mirroring (Libra=an instructive way to view
the self) and the knowingness that the idea we are MUST have its accompanying
support structure and all the "materials" it needs in order to BECOME the idea
that Mars and the identity choose to express. Mars equates to the driving
force or spirit of the multiverse, and Venus to the supportive mind as
material that perpetuates and actualizes that spirit-again, the mind/matter
mirror.
In a study of a "desire to help", individuals were separated into 2 groups, one
group recieved a cookie before being asked for help, and another group given
nothing. The these groups were asked to help another individual who needed it
for as long as they could. The same groups were also asked to distract persons
or to interfere with something they were doing.
It was found that the participants who were given something as simple as a
cookie before hand, helped 69 minutes as opposed to those with no cookie who
only offered an average of 17 minutes. But as for distracting or interfereing
with another, the group with no cookie before hand, distracted someone else 64
minutes as opposed to the pre-cookie group who were only willing to "cause
trouble" 20 minutes in comparison.
This study reflects the idea of self-empowerment as I have discussed many
times-for when individuals feel (believe) that the Multiverse (in the form of
persons or otherwise) is supportive of them, that they are validated and
worthy, less preoccupied with self limitation, and generally have the
NURTURANCE and support of worth and a sense of abundance (Venus) then NATURAL
aggression as opposed to powerless or unnatural aggression is more likely to
be expressed. There is no sense of "losing" something, if unlimited resource
or positive support is percieved.
Venus and Mars reflect this identity validation and feelings of worth and
empowerment as has been described in the idea of integrity;
That every person is as powerful as he/she needs to be to create whatever they
desire in their reality, without having to hurt or malign anyone else or
themselves in order to do so.
All persons, in this writers belief therefore are inherently positive or
"good". And that only through percieved threat and beliefs in
resource-lessness or identity invalidation, do we become less than helpful or
unnaturally aggressive. Allow yourself therefore to believe that "All That Is"
deemed you important enough to create YOU and by implication would not hold
the support of the multiverse from you and your expression.
Venus and Mars reflect this universal premise, of action and support of that
action.
