♀Venus
Its letter and path
Venus rides the double letter Pe (פ), on the path that connects Hod ↔ Netzach.
Its sphere and correspondences
Its sphere is Netzach (נֶצַח) — Victory / Eternity, emotion & desire, in the world of Yetzirah.
Love, art, beauty, instinct, victory through persistence.
Further planetary correspondences (day, metal, incense) to be added from source.
Its tarot, in this current
The card on this path is The Empress. The Golden Dawn places The Tower here instead, having assigned the letter to a different planet.
Its polarity
The letter Pe carries the polarity Prosperity / Desolation (Sefer Yetzirah §37). The polarity is a property of the letter; Venus supplies the energy that leans it one way or the other.
In the Sefer Yetzirah
The planetary assignment follows the Chaldean order set out at §§41 and 44; the polarity pair is given at §37 (Hayman critical edition).
Annotated passages to be added.

In this current, Venus rides Pe (The Empress). The Golden Dawn moved Venus to the letter Daleth, and reassigned Pe to Mars ♂ — so on their tree the Pe card became The Tower.
