== The physical planet ==

Venus is the second innermost planet in the [[solar system]], with an average distance from the [[Sun]] of 108 million kilometres, and the third smallest, with a diameter of about 12,100 kilometres. It is one of the four Earth-like planets, also called terrestrial or rocky planets.

Venus is the planet that comes closest to Earth's orbit in its orbit, with a minimum distance of 38 million kilometres. It is similar in size to the [[Earth]], but differs in [[w:geology|geology]] and especially in its [[w:atmosphere|atmosphere]]. This consists of 96% [[w:carbon dioxide|carbon dioxide]] and its surface pressure is 90 times higher than on Earth.

After the [[Moon]], Venus is the brightest star in the night sky. Because it is one of the lower planets and is only visible in the morning or evening sky and never around midnight, it is also called the [[morning star]] ({{Greek|Φώσφορος}} ''Phosphoros'' "light-bearer", "light-bringer"; {{Latin|[[Lucifer]]}}) and the [[evening star]] ({{Greek|Ἕσπερος}} ''Hesperos''; {{Latin|Hesperus}}). Even with a small telescope it can be observed in the daytime sky, sometimes even unaided. But even when it is close to Earth (about every 1½ years), only the cloud streaks of the extremely dense atmosphere can be seen. Exploration of the surface requires radar.

=== Transit of Venus ===

A [[w:transit of Venus|transit of Venus]] (from {{Latin}} ''transitus'' "passage") or '''Venus transit''' or '''Venus passage''' occurs when Venus passes in front of the solar disk. The Sun, Venus and Earth are then exactly in line. Venus then appears as a small black disc with an apparent diameter of 1′ (1/30 of the solar disc). Under good conditions, a Venus transit can also be observed unaided with suitable filter glasses. Due to Venus' orbit being inclined at 3.4° to Earth's orbit, a Venus transit occurs only four times in about 243 years, after 8, another 121½, another 8 and another 105½ years.<ref>[http://www.venus-transit.de/period/index.html Der Zyklus der Venusdurchgänge] (The cycle of Venus' transits), retrieved 21 April 2021</ref>

== The spiritual significance of Venus ==
== Venus sphere ==

The '''Venus sphere''' delimits the dominion of the [[Spirits of Personality]]. The leading [[Archangel]] is [[Anael]]. '''Venus beings''' have been stimulating the transformation of the [[astral body]] into the [[spirit self]] since the last third of the Atlantean period {{Lit|{{G|98|198}}, {{G|102|59f}}}}.

Venus is also the dominion of [[Lucifer]].

{{GZ|Thus on Venus also dwell entities which stand between men and the solar entities. They inhabit Venus and can even become effective on earth. They become effective in the human body. We call these entities Luciferic entities. In a certain way they have their home on Venus. That is why Venus is also called 'Lucifer'.|98|186}}

Lucifer works on the physical rays of light. When Venus shows its full disc, Lucifer acts on the lower man; when no light shines from Venus to the Earth, the spiritual Venus acts on the upper man, on the head man, and during the intervening Venus phases the middle man is chiefly influenced.

In the human organism, the Venus forces have a special effect on the [[w:kidney|kidney]]s or the whole [[w:urogenital system|urogenital system]]; in language, they show themselves through the vowel A. In [[plant]] growth they reveal themselves above all in the formation of blossoms, and [[copper]] was created through the influence of the Venus forces. The [[w:birch tree|birch tree]] is associated with Venus.
