What's Your Goddess Sign?

Your natural-born attributes are no accident - they can be attributed to an ancient goddess whose energy prevailed at the time of your birth.

Just like astrology, goddess energy defines who you are and what your life purpose may be.

The time of day, year and even moon cycle influences our personalities, values and choices. Women born into the new energy of spring, for example, are Venus-inspired and are natural lovers. They can't help swing those hips or flutter those eyelashes - Venus energy is impossible to resist.

Every action, thought, projection of self, and treatment of others is a reflection of your goddess sign.

For example, if you react to a boyfriend's indiscretions by punishing the other woman, you are displaying Juno energies - she went to extraordinary lengths to avenge her husband's concubines.

Or if you like to lay low and stay out of trouble, your ruling goddess is most likely to be Hestia - she only wants a simple, uncomplicated, enriching and contented life.

No matter whether you're pleb or celeb, your goddess sign defines how you manage your choices and destinies.

Many attributes of life have been described at GoddessBirthSigns.com so you can see that no matter what the situation, understanding your goddess sign is one way to ensure you get through each day smiling.

Mar 21 - Apr 20 ... ATHENA... Born leaders, Athena-inspired women know no fear, or that's the face they present to the world at least.

Apr 21 - May 21 ...JUNO... Comfort, warmth and material security are the things that keep devoted wife Juno happy.

May 22 - Jun 21 ...PERSEPHONE... Persephone-girls tend to be fickle, meaning "yes" when they say "no".

Jun 22 - Jul 23 ...DIANA... Finely tuned to their environment and the feelings of others, Diana-inspired women are hunted for their natural empathy and sensitivity.

Jul 24 - Aug 23 ...PELE... Full of passionate energy, Pele gals love being the centre of attention and the life of the party.

Aug 24 - Sep 23 ...HESTIA... The Hestia gal is a creature of habit and organisation, purity, sincerity, sanctity and safety.

Sep 24 - Oct 23 ...VENUS... The perfect lover, Venus rules over a woman's sense of style and her appreciation for acts of love, pleasure and romance.

Oct 24 - Nov 22 ... BAST... Bast-inspired gals are creative, inquisitive and have a fine sense of where their boundaries lie. The downside, however, is that they are quick to bare their claws against a perceived threat or injustice.

Nov 23 - Dec 21 ...RHIANNON... Rhiannon-inspired women can be so focussed on the horizon, they forget about being sensitive to those around them.

Dec 22 - Jan 20 ...DEMETER ... It is typical of Demeter-inspired women to put the perceived needs of others first, at the expense of their own well being.

Jan 21 - Feb 19 ...HATHOR... Hathor-inspired women have the gift of shape-shifting - the ability to transform themselves from a woman crippled with anxiety to a creature shining with light and radiance.

Feb 20 - Mar 20 ... OSHUN... Oshun gals "go with the flow" of their instincts in order to find inner tranquility, but can lose sight of the real world in doing so.

Grecian Goddess Costumes

Just as there are countless goddesses to choose from, there are several Grecian Goddess costumes as well. You can choose to be a goddess of Love (Aphrodite, Venus) Wisdom (Athena), Victory (Nike, Hellas) or Hearth (Hera, Juno). You can even be a feisty war goddess like Artemis, the Huntress. No matter which goddess you choose to be, choosing the right Grecian Goddess costumes should be simply a matter of taste, body type and of course demeanor.

Not all goddesses are Grecian of course. There were Roman, Norse and Egyptian goddesses as well. For the most part however, the costume that would best describe them is only separated by minor details, so we will look at the basics first and then add the good stuff at the end.

Good Grecian Goddess costumes allow the goddess within you out to play so if you have any figure flaws that you want to downplay, then look for the fabric and style that will be the most flattering. If you have a mushy belly for example then skip the midriff baring halter and skirt style. A very flowing, light material with a scoop back is very forgiving and can be perfect for showing off your long, graceful neck. If you do go with this style, then make sure that you wear some glimmer lotion to highlight your gorgeous skin. A very good, supportive backless bra is a must, especially for those who are ample chested.

Whether you go for a full length or shorter Grecian goddess costume is dependent on your legs and your sense of decency. If you would like to wear something a little in between but still be sexy, go for a mid calf length with a daring slit up the side.

If you are trying for the look of the Grecian Goddesses, then use light and airy makeup. The Norse goddesses tended toward the blonde, horned helmets are of course, optional. The Egyptian goddesses should have heavily lined lids and very ornate jewelry. My personal favorite is Bastet, the Goddess of Cats.

Of all of the Grecian goddess costumes, the best is silk, orange and blue. A flattering halter cut in front gives way to the scooped back. Puddling to the floor, the material whispers and glides over your body like a warm whisper of summer night.

Jana, Goddess of Doorways and Seeing

Jana is not a well-known Goddess. We know better her husband and brother Janus, who gave name to the first month of the year. An interesting tidbit here is that Jana gave the name to June through her reincarnation as the Roman Juno. I think about the Hebrew tradition by which the year consists of two half-years, one that begins at Rosh Hashanah, at Autumn, and the other at Pesach, at Spring. Maybe they Romans had a similar tradition, one year from Midwinter to Midsummer, Janus' year, and another from Midsummer to Midwinter, Jana's year.

Jana is the Goddess of doorways. One could say the saying "when God closes a door, She opens a window" fits perfectly on Jana. There are many kinds of doorways in life. Some take us to a completely new life, and these should be celebrated, like we celebrate graduation. Jana is also the Goddess of initiations. Some doorways have no doors, and passing through these just widens the life. These doorways can be used to both directions. One example of these is the journey from a role we have in life to another role. Journeys are yet another of Jana's dominions.

She is the Goddess of beginnings, among them The New Year. She is two-faced, facing the new and old year at the same time, future and past. Jana's role as the guardian of doorways reminds me of the High Priestess of Tarot, sitting with Her moon in front of the doorway and like a sphinx, expects you to answer correctly to the question before she lets you enter to Empress' paradise.

In the Italian tradition, the new year starts at Midwinter. In Finland the Midwinter is a time for divination. There are especially two kinds of divination practiced; mirror divination and divination with molted tin (Molybdomancy). Both are sacred to Jana, because she, Goddess who sees all, uses every reflecting surface as Her window. She is the Moon Goddess, and what is Moon anything else but a huge mirror reflecting the Sun's light to Earth?

Jana is the Goddess of divination as well, and if She likes you, She will allow you to see things through Her eyes. Hers are all kinds of mirror divination and scrying.

Her animal is the peacock, and Jana's eyes are on peacock's beautiful tail. This is the reason why peacock feathers bring luck. Jana can see into your home through the eyes. In some countries peacock feather bring bad luck - people don't want a Pagan Goddess to see into their homes.

Jana developed into Diana and Juno, and both these Goddesses still have her qualities. Diana kept the moon and Juno peacocks. The Holy Spirit of Christianity is also Jana transformed.

When the Greek Gods took over the Roman Pantheon, Jana lived on as Juno Lucina, which is Juno's name as the Goddess of childbirth. Childbirth is just another beginning, entering through a doorway, and Lucina means "The Light One". Juno Lucina became St. Lucy, who is being celebrated on thirteenth of December. That was the winter solstice day according to the old reckoning (the Julian calendar), and St. Lucy is the patriot Saint of the blind people.
