Venus gazes deeply into the hearts of human beings, for that is what interests her, that is what she will allow to approach her, so that the most intimate experiences of earthly life are reflected again from Venus, in a mysterious and wonderful way. In the reflection she transforms everything, just as a dream transforms the happenings of physical existence. Venus transforms the occurrences of earthly life into dream-pictures. In reality, therefore, the whole sphere of Venus is a world of dreaming. The secrets of human beings in their earthly existence are transformed by Venus into dream-pictures of infinite diversity. She has a very great deal to do with poets, although they are not aware of it.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture I","site_heading":"Spiritual Individualities of the Planetary System","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Sie schaut den Leuten allen tief ins Herz hinein, denn das interessiert sie, das läßt sie an sich herankommen. Also man hat alles, was im Intimsten auf der Erde lebt, auf der Venus noch einmal, und in einer Widerspiegelung, die merkwürdig ist. Sie verwandelt eigentlich in der Widerspiegelung alles so, wie der menschliche Traum die äußeren Ereignisse des physischen Lebens verwandelt. Sie nimmt die irdischen Ereignisse und verwandelt sie in Traumbilder. So daß eigentlich der ganze Gang, den die Venus um die Erde herum macht, diese ganze Sphäre der Venus, eigentlich eine Träumerei ist. Und in den mannigfaltigsten Traumgebilden leben die traumhaft verwandelten irdischen Menschengeheimnisse. Die Venus hat sogar sehr viel mit den Dichtern zu tun.
