The Babylonians called Venus the double-phased Ishtar, the morning star of war and the evening star of love. Her beauty and high visibility, as well as her morning and evening phases have made her one of the most closely observed planets.īabylonian and Mesoamerican astrologers paid close attention to her cycles, particularly to her first appearance as morning star, which was considered a dangerous time. Mythical and astrological thought about the nature of the planet Venus has been consistent since ancient times. Venus, the dazzling and bright morning or evening star, outshines all the other stars and planets in the night sky. In this phase, she is called Lucifer, or the light bearer.

When Venus is 3 weeks into her retrograde period, there’s a short period of darkness as Evening Star.
