The 5 Pentacles of Venus: Love, Beauty & Solomonic Guide
Share
Venus is the planet of love, beauty, desire, harmony, and the magnetic force that draws hearts together. In the Solomonic system, the Venus seals are among the most personally relevant of the entire collection, because they address the dimension of human experience that most deeply shapes daily life: relationships, attraction, the longing for connection, the desire to be loved and to love.
The 5 Pentacles of Venus in the Key of Solomon cover the full spectrum of Venusian power, from attracting love and favour, to invoking physical desire, to achieving harmony in relationships, to commanding the goodwill of all who encounter you. Each seal addresses a different quality of what it means to work with the most intimate of the planetary forces.
Venus in Kabbalistic and Solomonic Tradition
In Kabbalistic cosmology, Venus corresponds to the Sefirah of Netzach (Victory or Eternity), the seventh Sefirah on the Tree of Life. Netzach is the sphere of emotion, desire, beauty, nature, and the creative impulse that seeks expression. It is the realm of feeling before thought, of longing before decision, of art before analysis. Its Archangel is Haniel (also called Anael or Camael in some traditions), the angel of love, beauty, and joy.
Venus's colour is green or copper-rose; its metal is copper; its day is Friday; its gemstone is emerald or rose quartz. In the Key of Solomon, Venus pentacles were crafted during the hour of Venus on Friday.
The 5 Pentacles of Venus: What Each One Does
First Pentacle of Venus: Invoking Venusian Spirits
The First Pentacle of Venus opens connection with the governing intelligences of this planet. The Key of Solomon describes it as used to call on the spirits of Venus for all operations of love, beauty, and attraction. It is the foundational Venus seal, establishing the Venusian connection before working with the more specific pentacles.
Best for: Beginning any Venus working, opening the channel of love and attraction, general Venusian energy enhancement.
Second Pentacle of Venus: Attracting Love
The Second Pentacle of Venus is one of the most sought-after seals in the Solomonic system. The Key of Solomon describes it as being used to obtain the love of a woman, but in broader practice, it is used to attract romantic love and make the carrier more magnetically appealing to potential partners. It works by amplifying the natural magnetism of the carrier and opening them to receive love.
Best for: Those seeking romantic love, wanting to attract a partner, or wishing to rekindle attraction in an existing relationship.
Third Pentacle of Venus: Universal Love and Goodwill
The Third Pentacle of Venus extends the attraction principle beyond romantic love into all human relationships. The Key of Solomon describes it as inspiring universal love and good will from all who encounter the bearer. It is the social seal of the Venus system, making the carrier genuinely likeable, warm, and magnetically pleasant to be around.
Best for: Those in customer-facing roles, public figures, those who want to improve their general social relationships and the warmth others feel toward them.
Fourth Pentacle of Venus: Compelling Love and Desire
The Fourth Pentacle of Venus is the more intense of the love seals. The Key of Solomon describes it as compelling a specific person to feel love and desire for the carrier. In ethical practice, it is used to strengthen existing connections and deepen emotional bonds rather than to manipulate unwilling parties.
Best for: Deepening love within an existing relationship, rekindling desire, strengthening emotional bonds between partners who are growing apart.
Fifth Pentacle of Venus: Harmony and Beauty
The Fifth Pentacle of Venus addresses the quality of harmony, both in relationships and in the environment. The Key of Solomon associates it with beauty, grace, and the creation of harmonious conditions in all relationships. It is the seal of the artist and the peacemaker, used to bring aesthetic beauty and relational harmony into all spaces and interactions.
Best for: Artists, designers, those who work with beauty professionally, and anyone seeking greater harmony and grace in their relationships and surroundings.
How to Use the Pentacles of Venus
Friday is the day of Venus. Hold your Venus pentacle on Fridays and set your intention with warmth and openness. Venus seals respond to the emotional quality of your intention. If you carry a Venus seal with bitterness, fear, or desperation, you will attract those qualities. Carry it with confidence, openness, and a genuine willingness to give and receive love.
The traditional practice is to anoint Venus talismans with rose oil or place them near rose petals or copper objects to strengthen their Venusian resonance. Even a brief moment of holding the coin while thinking of the love you want to experience is more powerful than purely mechanical carrying.
The 72 Names of God Connection
Every King Solomon Coin carries the 72 Names of God on its reverse. Specific names within the 72 correspond to Netzach and Venus, those associated with desire, beauty, emotional opening, and the magnetic forces of attraction. The Venus pentacle on the front and the 72 Names on the reverse form a complete Solomonic talisman for working with love and beauty.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Venus pentacle is best for attracting romantic love?
The Second Pentacle of Venus is the traditional choice for attracting love and romantic attention. The Third Pentacle is better if you want to improve your general social magnetism and how people feel toward you overall. The Fourth Pentacle is used within existing relationships to deepen desire and emotional connection.
Can the Venus pentacles be used to attract a specific person?
The Solomonic tradition does not restrict the use of attraction seals to general work, but most practitioners recommend using them to open yourself to love and increase your personal magnetism, rather than directing them at a specific unwilling individual. The most effective and ethical use is to become someone who naturally attracts the love you are seeking.
What day should I work with Venus pentacles?
Friday is the day of Venus. Setting intentions with your Venus pentacle on Friday, particularly in the evening when the planet is often visible in the sky, aligns your practice with peak Venusian influence. The Solomonic tradition also considers the hour of Venus on any day to be appropriate for Venus work.
Are Venus pentacles only for romantic love?
No. While the Venus seals are often associated with romantic love, they cover the full spectrum of Venusian power: beauty, harmony, art, friendship, social grace, and the goodwill of others. The Third Pentacle in particular is used for universal goodwill and social warmth rather than romantic attraction specifically.
