For Venus, only mother I have ever known. We made it through March, one way or another. And in my way, as she taught me: I love, I love, I love.

[confessions-of-a-roseheart]

I really appreciate that Venus is always within easy reach

like sure she wants me to be independent and all, but I'm never really left all alone - her presence is always a consistent thing in the background. And now that I can compare that distance between her and myself and Hades and myself, it's p obvious she's p close by

would explain why I get her attention when I mention her in conversations!

got a rose tea offering for Venus! smells really good... maybe I should make this more of a thing!

[confessions-of-a-roseheart]

I know Venus is a deity from my past life, but I wonder what about it she knows that drives her to explicitly tell me not to look into it

I could ask, I guess. But something tells me down that path lies ruin - at least for now

me: *thinks about Cleopatra*

Venus, popping into my head unbidden: Beauty is nothing without brains. I am the goddess of politicians, of orators - beauty has nothing to do with appearances. It's all about personality and presentation.

me: ma'am I just wanna wash my hair
