Goddess Profile

Description

Goddess Profile

The Goddess Profile embodies the mysteries of life and archetypal forces. She guides us through nature’s sacred rites and the cycles of birth and death. As the representative of the world’s soul, she connects us to the primal wisdom of life’s rhythms. Ancient goddess cultures flourished during magical consciousness, revering natural forces and supernatural powers. However, the rise of rationality buried this wisdom, distancing humanity from the sacred and the magical.

The discovery of asteroids in the 19th century reawakened the Goddess’s wisdom, bringing her archetypes back into conscious awareness. Astrologers found new meaning in these celestial bodies, linking them to the revival of feminine power and ancient cycles. The first four asteroids—Ceres, Pallas Athena, Juno, and Vesta—were named after prominent Olympian goddesses whose significance predated their male counterparts. These asteroids enriched astrology’s depiction of the feminine, expanding beyond the traditional representations of the Moon and Venus.

Astrologers began incorporating asteroids into their practice in the 1970s, paralleling the cultural reclamation of feminine power. The asteroid goddesses embody aspects of the Goddess’s wisdom and reflect various spheres of life, from inner intelligence to external achievements. They preside over the realms of Heaven, Earth, and the Underworld, symbolizing existence’s cyclical and interconnected nature.

The Goddess Profile celebrates twelve goddesses and heroines, each representing a unique function in life. The heavenly goddesses—Ceres, Pallas Athena, Juno, and Vesta—oversee life’s initiations and transitions. The underworld goddesses—Hygieia, Cassandra, Hecate, and Medea—navigate life’s unconscious emotions and mysteries. The earthly goddesses—Ariadne, Europa, Pandora, and Mnemosyne—guide us through worldly pursuits, relationships, and challenges.

The Goddess Profile explores each goddess’s mythology, cult, and contemporary astrological meaning. By placing these archetypes in your horoscope, you can gain profound insights into life’s sacred cycles and the instinctual wisdom of nature. The Goddess Profile invites you to rediscover and honour the ancient feminine wisdom that continues to guide us today.
