Female Sign Symbolism / Folklore
The Female Symbol is borrowed from the astrological glyph of the planet
Venus. It represents women and feminine energy, and in recent decades has
been used to symbolize feminism and woman power. It is composed of the circle
of unity and the cross of earth. Feminine energy is seen as yin - receptive
and magnetic.
Venus symbolizes attraction of all kinds, infatuation, desire, attachment,
and emotional needs. Venus has dominion over intimacy and sexual energy
and desire in the woman; it also signifies sex appeal, beauty, grace, fashion
and being fashionable, socializing and sociability, partnerships and the
act of unification (weddings), but not the marriage itself. Venus has dominion
over combining and coordinating different things, including parts of the
body, countries, companies, ideas, and any two things whatsoever. Venus
rules the companion and companionship, friendship and friends, being together,
joining, cooperating, and merging; also possessions, money, social standing,
jewels and adornment, and luxury. It is representative of charm, harmony,
and a sense of humor. Venus is a benefic, and therefore symbolizes good
luck and elevated levels. A benefic is a term of ancient astrology referring
to a planet that is highly beneficial and one that brings good luck or high
levels of something beneficial and helpful, as well as victory and championships.
Mars is a sexual planet, fraternal
symbolism with Venus.
