Venus: a Planet of Survival
When we think of Venus we most often think of love, beauty, and luxury. We think of Aphrodite and the birth of Venus

Venus determines what is safe
What's the number one way we evaluate danger? Appearance!
It's easy to forget in modern society that nature is incredibly dangerous and finding food is hard
Venus helps us discern what's edible. Which one you eating?

The metal associated with Venus is Copper
Why Copper? Because Copper has known antimicrobial properties that were used during ancient times

Who do you trust when you know it has nothing to do with appearance?
