Dodge new ship to Venus, say (7)
I believe the answer is:
goddess
'to venus say' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'dodge new ship' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates an anagram.
'ship' becomes 'SS' (prefix in ship names eg SS Great Britain).
'dodge' is an anagram of 'godde'.
'godde'+'ss'='GODDESS'
(Other definitions for goddess that I've seen before include "Female deity" , "Eg, Aphrodite" , "divinity" , "Divine female" , "Minerva, for example" .)
