9th degree of Venus. Degree of impressiveness, great significance, vanity. Grants high status and strong patrons. A person may do nothing, yet their authority grows. Or the person may seem sluggish, immersed in slumber, but internally, great work is underway, and all paths converge toward them (Theborean Calendar).
9th degree of Venus. “A lady adorned with many jewels stands before a mirror.” — Indicates a fortunate individual, yet to some extent, a hollow one whose desire is to “make a good impression” and who spends large sums to achieve this goal. Meanwhile, the aura of a great soul, spreading in all directions and carving eternal beauty impervious to time and change, shines brighter than a fine diamond in an exquisite setting. In this degree, there are two facets, each reflecting the other — for it is the symbol of Reflection (I. Kosminsky).
