Lady Venus

Lady Venus is the twin flame of Sanat Kumara and the presiding presence of the Venusian Council of Light. She embodies the love and beauty for which her world is named, and the goddesses of love honored by so many ancient peoples are understood, in the ascension teachings, as glimpses of her.

Her presence is described as luminous, gracious and very still. People who meet her in meditation often say afterward that they did not receive a message so much as a memory: of what it is to be completely at ease, and completely loved.

The One Who Kept the Flame at Home

When Sanat Kumara left for the Earth, Lady Venus remained. Through all the ages of his absence she held the flame on Venus for them both, and guided her own world with the other Kumaras. The teachings present this as a service equal to his. It is one thing to go into the dark. It is another to hold steady the light that the traveler will need to find the way home.

When at last he returned, it is said that she came for a time to the Earth's etheric realm, to bring her own radiance to the planet her beloved had served, and to assist with the awakening of the heart that marks the present cycle.

Service to the Ascension

Lady Venus works for the restoration of the divine feminine: the receptive, intuitive, nurturing and harmonizing aspect of the Source, in women and men alike. She does not set it against the masculine. Her teaching is sacred union, the balance of the two within each person, of which every outer partnership is a reflection.

She also teaches beauty as a spiritual practice. A person who makes one corner of their life truly beautiful, she says, has opened a door through which the higher frequencies can enter, and has made the ascension a little easier for everyone nearby.

What Lady Venus Teaches

• Beauty is how love becomes visible.
• You do not need to earn rest. Receptivity is half of creation.
• What you treat with tenderness begins to shine. Start with yourself.
• Union with another begins as union within.

When to Call on Lady Venus

• Opening to love after the heart has been closed
• Balance of the feminine and masculine within
• Harmony in partnership and in the home
• Seeing, and creating, beauty
• Self-acceptance, including acceptance of the body

How to Work With Lady Venus

Lady Venus is most easily met through beauty itself. Place before you something you find lovely: a flower, a stone, a bowl of water in the light. Look at it without naming it or thinking about it. Ask her to look with you. After a few minutes, turn that same gaze upon yourself. A fuller practice is given in the Heart Temple Meditation.

An Invocation

Beloved Lady Venus, keeper of the rose-gold flame,
teach my eyes to see as you see.
Open my heart to give and to receive.
Balance in me the two that are one,
and let my life become a thing of beauty
in the service of love.

A Word From Lady Venus

Dear ones, you have been taught to be suspicious of what is lovely, as though it were a distraction from the serious work. It is the serious work. When you make something beautiful you are doing on your world what we do on ours.

Set a flower on the table. Smooth the cloth. Speak gently in the morning. These are the temples. You are already building them.
