The story of Mars and Venus is one of forbidden love. Venus was married to Vulcan, the old, unattractive, boring God of Fire. Vulcan was a blacksmith that was not appealing to Venus. She historically had many lovers. But she fell for Mars, who was much more exciting, powerful, and handsome. Vulcan found out about their affair from Mercury and made a fine iron net trap & put it over the bed. The gods watched and laughed even Mercury said that he would not mind being caught in a trap to be with Venus. Indeed, Mercury and Venus did get together and have a child called Cupid. But back to Venus and Mars prodigy- their daughter Harmonia was born & is the Greek Goddess of Harmony. She oversees the harmony of marriage and partnership. She is the soother of controversy in all things. Synonyms for harmony include cooperation, understanding, unity, integration, and oneness. The union of the God of War and Goddess of Love is cosmic balance. In the end, Harmony is created when the fighter (Mars) returns to love (Venus),
To love requires surrender to the now. When you really choose love and surrender to it, you risk change, transformation. Without knowing what the future brings lets the present moment exist as most important. In Botticelli’s painting, Mars sleeps like a baby with Venus watching, while the satyrs play with his weapons and try to wake him. He remains adrift in sweet slumber, defenseless. The metaphor of their lovemaking is: Love wins.
Individually we need to integrate our own masculine energy (Mars) and feminine energy (Venus) in order to truly love another. Offering yourself as a whole person that has integrated these two energies is the greatest gift of love, and you deserve nothing less in return. Remember Venus is the brightest planet (viewed as a sparkling star in the Western sky at sunset now).
