Asteroid Goddesses

An updated edition of the groundbreaking, in-depth study of the Great Goddess archetypes, now available for a new generation of astrologers. New edition with updated ephemerides (1930-2050). This book shows how the discovery of the asteroids Ceres, Pallas Athena, Juno, and Vesta coincided with the shift of a woman''s role and power in society and the reactivation of the feminine principle. The femininearchetypes were previously the exclusive domain of the Moon and Venus, limited to social roles as mate and mother. The arrival of Pallas Athena (the Goddess of Wisdom) and Vesta (the High Priestess) broke through the confines of woman''s stereotypical role. Demetra George shows how the asteroid Goddesses, the Moon, and Venus comprise a mandala of the full expression of the feminine principle. Included in this edition are ephemerides of 16 minor asteroids, an astronomical and astrological portrait of the asteroids in the sign sand houses and in aspect to other planets and asteroids, along with lists of the asteroids'' positions in the signs and houses of famous people''s charts.
