I noticed that Venus has been shining very bright lately. I then heard others mentioning the same thing.

I see Venus as mythologically significant to what is happening right now. The dawning of a golden era is on the horizon when the Divine Feminine will be rising to its rightful place and Venus, The Morning Star, is lighting the way.

Venus is one symbol of the Divine Feminine and the mythology surrounding it includes a downfall, just as the star Venus descends in the sky and seemingly falls towards the Earth or the underworld.

Lucifer, the so called fallen angel, is one mythological figure representing Venus or the Divine Feminine. Lucifer did not want to obey or be subservient to the patriarchal god and was cast out of heaven. He is not to be confused with Satan but it is no surprise that he has been demonised just like Lilith, the first woman who did not want to submit to Adam. Lucifer means light-bringer, dawn-bringer or the shining one.

This casting out into the underworld is recurring in mythology about the ancient Mesopotamian goddess Ishtar and the Norse goddess Hel. I think it represents the time when the Divine Feminine was made secondary, was only allowed to exist underground and patriarchal religions took over.

The time for Venus to rise again has come and we are the bringers of the dawn...
