GODDESS HOROSCOPES FOR EVERY SIGN

Beginners:
Look at the forecast for your rising sign as well as your Sun
sign, for a more accurate and personal seasonal reading!

More Advanced:
For best results, look at your personal birth chart to see
which house the degree of each asteroid placement relates
to, and then look for the corresponding forecast below
[by house position]. It is usually for your rising sign, but
depending on the degree of each placement, it could be the
sign immediately preceding or following your rising sign.

For example: your rising sign is Taurus. Look for the
corresponding house position in the forecasts for Taurus,
Aries [previous sign] or Gemini [following]; this is actually a
LOT easier than it sounds!]

What is "Goddess Astrology"?
There are many asteroids that are used in astrological inter- pretation that are named after the Goddess in her many guises. Discovering the asteroids and investigating their placement in the horoscope can add a deeper and richer interpretation of the way we express our "feminine" nature than by looking at the planetary placements alone.

Though there are many asteroids that are used astrologically, the four most commonly used are: Ceres, Pallas Athena, Vesta and Juno, now more commonly known as the "Asteroid Goddesses" [after the book by Demetra George].

I will give a brief outline on the basic energies associated with the four archetypal Goddesses, and then give each sign a general interpretation of what it could mean for you in the coming season. [For more detailed information on the Asteroid Goddesses, please refer to the bibliography at the end of this article].

I'd like to ask you to look at this astrology column differently than you might look at your "usual" horoscope...I look at astrological transits as magical and spiritual opportunities to CREATE your future, not as a series of "fated" events or specific predictions. Please try to look at the next season, and think about how you'd like to "shape" the future.

Your forecast for the upcoming season will give you a clue to specific areas that can be focused on, based on the ingress
chart of the Winter Solstice - exact Fri Dec 21st, 1.22 pm cst [Summer Solstice for those on the other side of the world] and
how the asteroids may affect your particular sign based on the
house position in the natural house system.

Remember: "The stars incline; they do not compel."
