The Morning Setting of Venus

Venus is closing today, November 26, her Luciferian cycle, of the Light that precedes the rise of the day, and enters the invisible heart of the Sun. This is known as the Morning Setting, and it happens today at 24° of Scorpio, the moment when the Goddess ceases to be seen in the sky before dawn and begins her descent into the underworld, towards combustion and purification. Phōsphoros (Φωσφόρος), the Greek name given to this same morning phase, means “the one who brings the light” (phōs = light, phoros = bearer). It is the epithet that, in the Latin tradition, became Lucifer: the bearer of light.

The disappearance of Phōsphoros initiates a period of withdrawal of the Venusian principle: love, beauty, union and desire turn subterranean, interior, closer to the Scorpionic tendency of regeneration and initiatory death. Aphrodite ceases to seduce through form and begins to dissolve through depth. During this descent, Venus is no longer visible and the luminous feminine becomes hidden.

Her disappearance happens in Scorpio, the sign of her nocturnal exile, and echoes Chthonic Aphrodite (or Aphroditē Chthoniā, Ἀφροδίτη Χθονία), the subterranean and initiatory face of the goddess of love. Whereas Aphrodite Urania represents celestial love, inspiration, and ideal beauty, Chthonic Aphrodite embodies the erotic power linked to the earth, to density, death, mourning and regeneration.

Lucifer should first be understood as a reference to Venus. The "star" that appears after sunset and just before sunrise was called by Isaiah (14:12) hêlēl ben šaḥar, or "the shining one, son of dawn".

That was translated to Greek as ὁ ἑωσφόρος ὁ πρωὶ ἀνατέλλων, or "Heosphoros, raiser of morning". Heosphoros, in turn, means "bringer of morning", much like the common Greek name for Venus, Phosphoros, meant "bringer of light".

Lucifer is a direct translation of Heosphoros, or more precisely of Phosphoros: indeed, the Latin name translates to "bringer of light", rather than "bringer of morning".

Forgive me for never posting art anymore but working healthcare during a global pandemic really blows ngl smh.
