Today is Freya’s Day, Friday, Freya being Norse for Venus. Venus rules over Poetry, Aesthetics and Rhetoric, Kavya Komala Vagvilasam Athulam. So it is not a bad idea to propitiate Venus ! Venus is feminine in the Western and masculine in the Eastern. He is the Preceptor of demons and rules over all sciences and arts mundane. HIs rising is considered auspicious as Jupiter’s is. His planetary period is marked by Hedonism, wealth, wine and women whereas the Wisdom phase of Jove is antithetical to these.
