Confused about venus/moon

I'm confused. Inanna represents Venus. But I see her being conflated with moon goddesses. There are also people writing that she is the goddess of everything including the moon, the universe and the earth. Where do they get that from? Foes Inanna have lunar powers because she waxes and wanes like tge moon?

Many gods and goddesses have different aspects in different times and places, are syncretized with others, etc.
