VENUS: Venus ruled the complexion, the sexual organs, and the hidden inner workings of the body cells. Venusian plants almost all bore heavily scented, showy blossoms such as the Damascus Rose or the
Apple Blossom. The medicinal effects were commonly emollient, anti-nephritic, and alterative. Of course, many of the aphrodesiac plants were included under the auspice of Venus as well.
