Goddess Astrology

Goddess Astrology explores the Greek goddesses in relation to the astrological signs. It appreciates that women's experiences are not all the same and should not be put into the same overused stereotypes. Instead, this book offers a different and refreshing perspective of female archetypes, illustrated by the lives of extraordinary women both alive and dead.Each chapter follows an astrological sign and details its connection to a goddess of Greek mythology and provides a fascinating background of the Greek myths. The chapters then bridge the gap between ancient and modern and explore two more recent examples of brave and wonderful women for each astrological sign. Goddess Astrology contains excerpts from classical texts, newly translated by author Elisabeth Brooke.
