While I had always thought that Mars was a doer, it stood for strength, risk taking ability, courage etc. I am starting to realize the strength in Venus - one could call it loosely the strength of inaction - but it is better to regard it as the strength that comes from being patient, from having faith, from love.
This is the strength that women have, the ability to withstand storms and persevere, never giving up.
At this point I am reminded of the quote which can be found here or here. Essentially this is about having the serenity to accept what cannot change (strength of Venus), courage to change what can be (strength of Mars) and for those who are blessed both with strong Venus and Mars, the wisdom to know which one to use when. Wowowow.
Those who are not fortunate enough to have both will probably not appreciate the meaning of the prayer above - since they have only the strength of Mars OR of Venus (or worse, that of neither).
