Goddess Descriptions

Goddess descriptions

Ishtar: Pisces / Water
Just as water is able to flow swiftly around obstacles, you too, will want to remain fluid in your thinking and actions. Stay in the flow. Just as the river does not stop until it reaches the sea be prepared to persevere. Stay focused on your goal. If you need help don't hesitate to ask. Use your inner wisdom to carefuly choose those that would help you. Your major project will likely require much of your attention in order to bring it to a successful conclusion and you may wish to delegate or postpone other projects with lower priorities.

Artemis: Aries / Fire
There is lots of energy here. A drive for bold and creative solutions combined with the keen eyes of the experienced archer whose arrows never fail to hit their mark. Explore being the powerful huntress ready to seize the moment should your prey come into view. Invest your energy in expressing your more sophisticated side when it comes to your dealings with people and projects. Let your power guide you to higher and more creative solutions as opposed to rash or judgmental actions.

Venus: Taurus / Earth
Love, passion and earthly delights are all here and available to you now. You will be receptive to this energy and influenced by its alluring power. The control of this passionate power will also be at you fingertips. Do you allow your heart strings to be played or do you choose to make music with the hearts of others? This is a time to enjoy the good things in life and use your love in creative ways. Take your time here to really enjoy those special moments that may just magically appear. Passion knows no limits here, but push it too far and there may be a price to pay. Make sure you have the cash to pay should you over indulge.

Athene: Gemini / Air
Just like Athene who was born fully formed, wearing armor and ready for battle as she sprang forth from the forehead of Zeus you can expect that new and wildly creative ideas will be a normal occurrence at this time. In fact, your ideas will likely "spring" to life at almost any moment. They will have energy, drive and will be unusually detailed, well formed and complete. The level of creativity and "outside the box" nature of your ideas may perplex and startle others. You can ease this by using this energy in helpful and supportive ways that benefit others. You will find great inner satisfaction when your ideas and actions become a from of service to something larger than yourself.

Hera: Cancer / Water
You are in a powerful position to exercise your maturity, wisdom and patience. Allow your more nurturing side to express the energies of the compassionate caregiver and whatever you are working on will seem to quickly grow of its own accord. Choose to meddle too much and this growth will stall. Now is a time when you can grow your understanding that all the people and things in your life are a part of your family.

Isis: Leo / Fire
Isis fulfilled the role of wife and partner to Osiris when he ruled Egypt. She was also equally gifted at ruling Egypt when Osiris was away. You are called here to bring forth the mastery of developing both your active and receptive natures. Sitting on your throne of balance you will succeed when you wisely choose which of your divine natures to express in any given moment. Be forthright in your actions towards others and yourself. Be prepared to lead the team when you are called to do so.

Demeter: Virgo / Earth
Life is constantly changing. At times, even the things in our life that we value the most will reach maturity, begin to fade and eventually disappear. This is the great cycle of life and it is proper that the old make way for the new. It is possible that what has left your life at this time will return to be reborn into something different that is useful to you on your path in this life. You may have a tendency to be vulnerable at this time and it is important that you be clear about what you wish to see happen. Cultivate wisdom and discernment in your dealings with others and be sure you know what is the motivation behind what is being offered to you.


Gaia: Libra / Air
There is an ancient and universal power at work here. Life sustains itself through constant regeneration and the harmonies of both Yin and Yang working in concert together. Though sometimes nature is extreme in its in expression, all things are brought into balance through this most universal of forces. To preserve that which is important to you balance is required. Weigh your options carefully. If you perceive a great imbalance has occurred try looking to our Earth Mother, Gaia, as a role model. Don't be afraid to whip up a storm or two if that is what is truly required.

Lilith: Scorpio / Water
Don't judge a book by its cover and don't believe everything you hear about others. Lilith, the Goddess with perhaps the ultimate bad reputation can bring insight and wisdom to your situation. While demonized by many, she also represents someone who is willing to stand confidant in their own power. Unwilling to be treated as second class she insisted on being treated as an equal. This is a time for radical change and you are its herald. A general cleansing is in order to make room for new life. Others may try to write you off as being unimportant or even attempt to "demonize" you because of the passion you bring to your beliefs, as they resist the change you represent. Don't be afraid to stand your ground.

Kali: Sagittarius / Fire
Sometimes, in order to change, our lives need a little push. In Kali's case this can seem more like an earthquake. Nature, at her most furious, is sometimes quite destructive in her role as both preserver and protector of the great balance of life. Your challenges at this time will require you to be not only focused clearly on your goals but have a willingness to bring great energy into areas where you meet resistance. Expect that what is now blocking your path will be both cunning and even forceful. Acting powerfully from your deepest inner truth will ensure your success. When the storm is over it will be time to celebrate in a big way. Unlike Kali, however, don't let your dance of joy go too far!

Hecate: Capricorn / Earth
Which way do you look? Past? Present? Future? Do you take the high road, the low road or do you just stay put? This is a time of reviewing your goals and aspirations. You will be best served when you make clear decisions about what are your priorities. Try taking a serious look at what is serving you and that which is not. Don't be afraid to let go of all that no longer serves you and, once and for all, wash your hands of it. Let it go and don't look back. A deep cleansing ritual is in order here.


Freya: Aquarius / Air
What price are you willing to pay to get what you want? What you want may seem very precious. Even irresistible. Is it worth surrendering yourself to those who would only seek to take advantage of you? I should think not! This is not a time to be influenced by bright and shiny things. Look to your deepest heart and determine what is really important to you. Use your quick mind and your wild, passionate, creative strengths to bring into your life that which is of true and lasting value.
