Venus Retrogrades

In astrology, Aries is considered a new beginning and, in turn, begins John Gardner’s novel (Heindel 163). This chapter focuses on the cyclical nature of astrology. According to Grendel, this is the twelfth year of his “idiotic war” (Gardner 5). He notes that this year will, more than likely, be just like all those

Venus of Urbino illustrates a young woman, Venus, lying nude on what appears to be a reclined couch or bed. However, the woman depicted means much more than merely a nude woman. There have been many interpretations of this beautiful woman over the years but many art historians agree that the Venus of Urbino has to do unambiguously with the male sexual desire for the female nude body.

Aries, March 21 to April 19: Be positive in all situations so that you’ll look back with no regrets.

Poetry has a way of having a significant impact on the way society thinks about and conceptualizes certain issues. In fact, a major part of the culture of a society comes from the poetry at the time and this has been true dating as far back as the work of William Shakespeare. Today, on the other hand, society has developed and advanced significantly and American society in particular. Whereas cultures and societies were traditionally grouped together, the United States has been different in that it has been one of the greatest cultural and societal melting pots in the history of the world. Consistent with Caucasians, African Americans, Latin Americans, men, women, and a variety of other diverse demographics all in between, the United States also faces societal issues that are much different than those which may take place in as a result of such a diverse population base. Among the most significant issue that takes place in this regard is the significant amount of inequality. Inequality has been the focus of many contemporary poems and is one of the leading topics of focus in modern poetry analysis.

The Death of Cleopatra created Gerard Hoet, in Netherlands, about 1700-1710. It is oil on canvas. This piece caught my attention because it’s a painting portraying a moment in history, though it was painted hundreds and hundreds of years later.

While the diameter of Venus is 12,092 km, when compared to the Earth Venus is only 650 km smaller. Even though the Earth and Venus share a lot of similarities such as composition of the ground, gravity, and diameter, this is where the differences come in. Earth is capable of supporting life; Venus is hazardous to life. The Earth has liquid water, and hard rocky surface, Venus’ land masses is made of hardened magma, with very little rocky surfaces. Another key difference between the two planets is Venus has a weaker magnetic field when compared to the Earth. Venus also spins very slowly once per 243 Earth days; this could be the result of Venus’ core not being as active or even if it if

I think that the symbolical significance of the prehistoric cultural figures like the Venus of Willendorf deals mostly with the religious and social aspects of the human existence. Cultural critics and historians point out that during ancient time primitive societies were mostly matriarchic and a woman was considered a symbol of fertility. Childbirth from such point of view was considered as a holy act of life-giving. The fact that the woman is big and has massive gender features makes for the theory that women with large genitals can give birth to more children with less pain during the process of childbirth. Moreover, during the ancient times prosperity and health were implied by the physical characteristics. Big breasts of the Venus of WIllendorf serve as symbolical physical features of fertility (breast feeding) (Russell & Cohn, 2011).

In conclusion, Venus is a very, very hot planet and is called the “Morning Star” and “Evening Star” because the planet is very bright from the lava. If you're interested in any further more information about the rovers check out

Ancient Greeks maintained various scientific theories about the universe. These theories were described as the geocentric model. A few of these theories described the Earth as the center of the universe, everything orbited the Earth, Earth was stationary, and the Earth was a perfect circle. They also thought everything in the universe was perfect. The ancient Greeks also believed that the moon orbited the Earth. The moon stayed with Earth, thus the Earth must not be moving. The planets had a circular orbit. There were a few theories that the geocentric model could not explain: Venus phases and Jupiter's moons staying with Jupiter.

*Detailed Messages* Mercury the messenger is in court with the King, the Queen, the Sovereign. Speak with discernment. Be refined and exacting with word and thought. Express your role, your job, your service. Because Mercury is retrograde, it is likely that we will encounter problems that need solving. Processes that need re-doing. Don't fix it if it isn't broken, but notice what improvements can be made to the mechanics of life. Details need to be hashed out. Worry not. Avoid over-analysis. This could be one of those days where it is hard for people to see outside their bubble, and we can become overwhelmed by complexities. Get the job done, but avoid taxing the nervous and digestive systems. Body-mind-centering practices can help. When tasks are complete, take a mental break.

The person who delivered an ancient sculpture knew that the sculpture was a Paleolithic Venus from Europe, 25,000-28,000 BCE and not a Sumerian sculpture. The sculpture was made out of ivory and is approximately 6 inches tall.

Venus of Urbino demonstrates a beautiful, young woman, Venus, lying nude on what appears to be a reclined couch or bed. However, the woman illustrated means much more than merely a nude woman.

Taking place during the month of July, all female members of all households would plant fast-growing plants on the top of the roofs of their houses, calling the garden the “Garden of Adonis”, as they were honoring Adonis. Theses plants would be nurtured for a consecutive eight days, and then completely ignored, left to die in the sun. Afterward, in which case all the plants died, the women grieved for the loss. Following, a play most likely based on Greek tradition was held, depicting Venus and Adonis’ wedding. To conclude the festival, Adonis effigies were made and placed in coffins.

During the Upper Paleolithic era artists created a wide range of small sculptures. These sculptures were made from various materials, including ivory, bone, clay, and even stone. They represented humans, as well as animals; they even combined them at times. Most of the sculptures from this time show a high level of skill. From this time, there were two very influential sculptures, The Venus of Willendorf and the Venus of Laussel. This paper will discuss both sculptures, in detail, as well as, compare and contrast them.
