Offering a new and insightful discussion into the subjects of both
Greek mythology and astrology, Elisabeth Brooke skilfully
intertwines the two to create an original and captivating
exploration of the female experience. It expresses a deep
appreciation that women’s lives are not all the same and should
not be put into the same overused stereotypes; instead, it offers a
refreshing perspective of female archetypes, illustrated by the
lives of extraordinary women both alive and dead, which women
everywhere will relate to. Each chapter of this book follows one of
the twelve Astrological Signs, seven traditional planets, as well
as the Houses and Aspects. The connection to a Goddess of Greek
mythology is detailed for each of these, providing an illuminating
and engrossing background to the Greek myths and Goddess lore. The
chapters bridge the gap between ancient and modern, exploring more
recent examples of brave, strong, and empowering women for each of
the Astrological Signs. The book can be read straight through as an
exploration of the Goddesses and Astrology, and as a reference book
for both astrological studies and historical Goddess lore. Goddess
Astrology also contains excerpts from classical texts, newly
translated by the author Elisabeth Brooke.
