Did you know you carry four different types of Goddess energy? In astrology, there are four lesser-known asteroids that each represent certain feminine traits and we don't hear about them too often. But they are always operating in your life and hold some really fabulous insights.

Astroid Goddesses: the Mythology, Psychology and Astrology of the Re-emerging Feminine makes the connection to how these four smaller planets coincide with the broader shift in female roles throughout many parts of the world. There's lots of good information in the book from both a macro (world view) and a micro (personal) perspective.

From the book review, here are the four goddess energies and their basic principles:

"The creating, supporting, nurturing aspect held by the goddess Ceres, the universal mother, brings us to how we feel nurtured and how we function with our roles of mother-child. She embodies the principle of unconditional love.

Pallas Athena is our Warrior Goddess, a woman in a man's world, carrying the principle of creative intelligence.

Vesta, our goddess of Focus and Commitment, is our High Priestess.

Juno, the Queen of Heaven and Divine Consort, is our capacity for meaningful relationships."

If you have your birth data, look up how you carry and express each of these energies in your life (Go to www.astro.com to look up your planets for free).

A lot of fun stuff to explore if you are looking to harness your creative energy, understand your nurturing tendencies, direct your commitments, or determine how you create meaningful relationships. I had a few "a-HA!" moments with this book and love to reference it regularly. We have to remember that we are earth goddesses, after all.
