Planets Venus

Gr. phosphoros, light bearing ancient name for the planet Venus when appearing before sunrise) Brand discovered phosphorus in 1669 by preparing it from urine.

Recent space-probe and earth-based spectroscopic studies of the planet Venus suggest how much remains to be learned about the other planets. Earlier estimates of the surface temperature of Venus placed it near 60°C. The more detailed studies show, however, that two characteristic temperatures can be identified, —40°C and 430°C. The lower temperature is attributed to light emitted front high altitude cloud tops. The higher temperature is likely to be the average surface temperature. 

S2O and the polysulfuroxide formed from it are also suspected to be components of the surface and the atmosphere of Jupiter s moon lo [22], and S2O has been detected in the atmosphere of the planet Venus [23]. 

Figure 1.1 The thick clouds surrounding the planet Venus are made up of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and sulfuric acid. Living things cannot survive in such harsh conditions.

The metal copper, the rose flower, and the color green are all empirically assigned to the planet Venus, which is the mundane chakra (the macro-cosmic manifestation) of Netzach. Within the personality, Netzach is the seat of the desire-nature. Green, in Alchemy, always represents the manifestation of a power as it appears in nature as being incomplete, since the Sages hold that creation is still in process, that it is, as yet, an unfinished work. So the copper coins spoken of in the Turba are the manifestations (coins) of our desires (copper). 

Phosphorus - the atomic number is 15 and the chemical symbol is P. The name derives from the Greek phosphoros for bringing light , since white phosphorus oxidizes spontaneously in air and glows in the dark. This was also the ancient name for the planet Venus, when it appears before sunrise. It was discovered by the German merchant Hennig Brand in 1669. 

Which is all very well, but the Bohr atom is wrong. The picture of a dense nucleus surrounded by electrons is accurate enough, but they do not follow nice elliptical orbits like those of the planets. Venus and Mars follow Newton s laws, but electrons are governed by the... 

Each planetary sphere has a unique energetic expression and signature qualities associated with it, such as color, musical tones, parts of the body, diseases, medical effects, herbs, stones and metals. For example, the planet Venus is said to be the "ruler" of Copper metal and the herb Yarrow, as well as affecting the kidneys in man.

The composition of the Earth differs from that of the Universe by having a much lower proportion of hydrogen and helium these elements comprise about 90% and 9% respectively of the currently accepted grand total of matter. The small planets, Venus, Mercury and Mars, appear to have compositions similar to that of the Earth. Presumably their masses are too small for them to attract and retain the lighter particles in the form of an atmosphere as they move through space. Jupiter, however, has a core of iron and siliceous material surrounded by ice, solid methane and ammonia and finally by hydrogen and helium. 

The significance of this particular solubility is spectacularly demonstrated by comparing the earth with its sister planet, Venus. The atmospheric pressure at the surface of Venus is nearly a hundred times greater than at the surface of the earth, and the Cytherean atmosphere itself is more than 96 percent carbon dioxide. The earth s atmosphere would be similar if the oceans had not dissolved the carbon dioxide and precipitated the excess in the form of limestone. One can scarcely begin to imagine the tons of Indiana limestone resting on our shoulders if the earth, like Venus, had no oceans.

Specifically, he had Jupiter (and Chiron) conjunct the Midheaven, Mars in the tenth house, the Sun closely conjunct the Ascendant, and two planets — Venus and Neptune, the planets of art — in the first house. Plus, he had four planets and the Ascendant in Leo. Fame was his birthright.

Fig. 12-1. Surface temperatures expected on the three planets Venus, Earth, and Mars as a function of the water vapor pressure. An increase in the vapor pressure increases the retention of infrared radiation in the atmosphere, raising the temperature via the greenhouse effect. Overlaid is the phase diagram of water. On Earth and Mars the starting (radiation equilibrium) temperatures are low enough for water to condense out when the temperature intersects the condensation curve. On Venus, the temperature rises more rapidly and runs away. [Adapted from Walker (1977), originally modeled by Rasool and DeBergh (1970).]...

Table 1 compares physical parameters of the planetary atmospheres discussed below. We separate these into two groups (1) the terrestrial planets (Venus, Earth, and Mars), and (2) the gas giant planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune). Properties for the terrestrial planets are given at the observed surface conditions. Properties for the gas giant planets, which do not have observable solid surfaces, are given at the 1 bar atmospheric level. 

Copper was regarded by the alchemists as under the patronage of the planet Venus, and, as we have seen (p. 13), was designated by the symbol known as Venus s looking-glass. 

It is generally believed that the solar system condensed out of an interstellar cloud of gas and dust, referred to as the primordial solar nebula, about 4.6 billion years ago. The atmospheres of the Earth and the other terrestrial planets, Venus and Mars, are thought to have formed as a result of the release of trapped volatile compounds from the planet itself. The early atmosphere of the Earth is believed to have been a mixture of carbon dioxide (C02), nitrogen (N2), and water vapor (H20), with trace amounts of hydrogen (H2), a mixture similar to that emitted by present-day volcanoes.
