In astrology, the asteroids represent your Inner Goddess. There are numerous Goddess points located in the chart, but focusing on the main four asteroids of Ceres, Pallas Athena, Vesta and Juno is a great way to deepen your personal connection to the Feminine Divine.  

The four main asteroids in Goddesstrology are Ceres, the Mother; Pallas Athena, the Daughter; Vesta the Sister; and Juno, the Wife. While these roles do not fully encapsulate the ever-expanding breadth of women's experience today, they do give us a better starting point into self-discovery than provided by traditional astrology. The Asteroid Goddesses are here to hold space for the emerging Feminine Presence. 

The function of asteroids in astrology is to connect you to the path of personal transformation. Where you find the Asteroid Goddesses in your chart describes your most intimate knowings. They point out where + how, through the sharing of these inherent talents, you can experience transformative fulfillment and how, by doing so, you also help society evolve. These Goddesses can help you articulate your intuitive wisdom, expressions of intimacy and love, and how you connect  to others as well as your Divinity.

​Ceres: The Universal Mother

If you have been feeling run down, Ceres gives you clues on how to rejuvenate. Ceres represents the principle of nurturing, the capacity to be nurtured and the way you like to be nurtured. Ceres corresponds to parenting or care-taking, growth cycles, power struggles, and nourishment.  Ceres rules the parent/ child dynamics, both in your role as a parent and how you received parenting as a child. Ceres is associated with agriculture (her name gives us the word cereal) and therefore, in one's chart Ceres is a marker for abundance. Ceres can be a marker for eating disorders, depression, grief and loss. Where Ceres is found in the chart shows a potent configuration of personal resources, power struggles and loss -- but also what is gained from the transformation.  Aspects by another planet to Ceres creates a strong influence in one's life.  Where Ceres shows up in the chart by sign shows your nurturing style. The house Ceres occupies shows in which area of life you are likely to receive your most powerful Ceres lessons.   

​Pallas Athena: The Warrior Queen

If you are feeling less than inspired, Pallas Athena helps you see the bigger picture! Pallas Athena is the daughter archetype of the zodiac.  Athena symbolizes the intersection of rationality, intuition and willpower. She rules culture, visual arts, healing and justice. She presides over government and political activism.  A well aspected Pallas Athena in one's chart can signify a diplomat, a politician, a visual artist or craftsperson or one who protects the vulnerable. The sign she occupies in your chart represents your common approach to the Creative Process. The house Pallas Athena occupies represents the area of life in which your creative urges manifest. 

​Vesta: The Eternal Flame

If you have been feeling scattered, Vesta can help you refocus your energies to get back on track! Vesta is the Sister archetype of the zodiac. She is the inner flame that keeps you going, the warmth of hospitality and kindness to strangers. She is the sanctuary of hearth and home; a point of restoration. She represents the sublimation of sexual energies and the principles of integrity, devotion and purity. She is associated with a meaningful career. Where she is found in your chart explains the way you focus your energies (mundane, spiritual, sexual) and the house she occupies explains the area of life in which these matters may manifest or where you will receive your most powerful lessons in self-love.  

​Juno: The Divine Consort 

If you have been having relationship issues, looking to Juno can help you uncover blocks to your relating style. Juno is the wife archetype of the zodiac. She is matriarch, queen  of marriage and ruler of sacred tantric practices. She represents sexual fidelity and sacrifice in relationships, as Juno negotiates for the benefit of the partnership. In synastry, Juno is a signifier of compatibility.  She is a symbol of feminine beauty, creativity, women's empowerment and of the powerless. The sign Juno occupies represents your style of relating in partnerships and how you meet your intimacy needs. The house she occupies shows where this energy will likely manifest or where you will receive your most powerful relationship lessons.
