Venus is calling
For centuries Venus has been the symbol of love, known also by other names in other civilisations; love is what makes us gravitate towards this planet, which shines next to the Moon. Human romanticized about the symbolism of Venus, towards perfection. We cannot inhabit Venus like we plan to inhabit Mars, but we feel its energy and its light, we feel its gravity, which binds us together on Planet Earth.
