Welcome to goddess.astrology.com!

Goddess is a site not only for women, but for anyone who wants to better understand the effects and powers of feminine energy. From mothers to warriors, dreamers to doers, princesses to brides, Goddess explores the issues universal to women and the astrological influences that are felt by us all.

The most visible symbol of feminine energy in the solar system is the Moon. Because it reflects the light from the Sun, that pale orb in the night sky has come to represent a woman's reflective nature, her internalized response to the world.

Venus -- the Planet of Love -- also influences a woman's sense of style, her appreciation of art and culture and how she approaches romance. It dictates our attractions and who finds us attractive and it governs our attitudes toward finances and material possessions.

Everything we cannot see or touch is Neptune's domain. Our fantasies, dreams, yearnings and hidden agendas are all born from Neptune's influence. Luckily, it's the second to the last Planet away from the Sun, or else these powerful undertows might be just too much to handle.

The Ceres asteroid represents the rhythms in a woman's procreation cycles. In her role as mother, the Ceres woman treasures family heirlooms. The biology of life cycles and female passages are within Ceres's domain.

Juno represents the wife, the life partner, the soul mate. This asteroid affects a woman's decision to share herself with another through a physical, emotional and spiritual union. Juno picks up where Venus leaves off -- after the courtship phase, when the conquest is over and the love and commitment begin.

Pallas is both the Warrior Woman and the Peaceful General, representing strength and wisdom. Following her example, we find our inner courage and strength and know that we will survive life's battles. Our confidence in our abilities and our level of physical coordination depend in part upon this asteroid's position in our birth charts.

Vesta rules devotion, sexuality and health. Known as The Virgin and The Sister, Vesta represents the powerful woman who sees beyond the scope of herself. Her motivation is the goodness and fulfillment of a greater cause -- an uplifting of the soul or the education of a generation.
