Venus as Cosmic Mediator: A Structural-Discursive Analysis of Anthroposophical and Astrological Correspondences
Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) April 27, 2026 Hadi Al Mousawi
The paper reconstructs how Rudolf Steiner and astrological traditions built a coherent symbolic field around the planet Venus by linking its physical parameters—retrograde rotation, orbital tethering to the Sun, eight-year pentagram, and alternating visibility phases—to the theological polarity of Lucifer and Christ. It traces how Venus was cast as a cosmic mediator between opposing spiritual and psychological forces, drawing on astronomical data, Anthroposophical discourse, Hellenistic and Babylonian astrological doctrine, the Inanna-Dumuzi myths, and Western theology.
