As I write today we have Saturn stationing direct, after a lengthly period in retrograde. For most of us in 2020, I'm sensing that Saturn, the planet of karma, discipline and limitations, is teaching patience. 

Patience is one of the two words that came through during this broadcast. The energies of Aries full moon likely have us ready for action and almost feeling like that things have already been taking too long! 

Grateful, the antidote for feeling time pressure is here :)

​This Full Moon in Aries (Sun in Libra), together with the energies of Mars and Saturn (as discussed in the podcast) provide us with the perfect alignment remember Goddess Astarte.

Who is Goddess Astarte?

Astarte was a goddess honored in the Eastern Mediterranean area, before being renamed by the Greeks. Variants of the name “Astarte” can be found in the Phoenician, Hebrew, Egyptian and Etruscan languages. 
​
A deity of fertility and sexuality, Astarte eventually evolved into the Greek Aphrodite thanks to her role as a goddess of sexual love. Interestingly, in her earlier forms, she also appears as a warrior goddess, and eventually was celebrated as Artemis.

The image to the right is a carving with rubys of Astarte in the Louvre, you can see her cow horns or lunar disc at her crown. Her hips are round to signal she is a fertility goddess. The stones placed in her eyes and at her navel (I believe) signal her power of seeing and knowing together with creating and birthing things into the physical plane.

Astarte was worshipped by Canaanites, Egyptians, Hebrews, Philistines, and Phoenicians, but who is she? In the tradition of West Semitic spirits Astarte means “the womb,” “the conceiving womb,” or “full womb” and is a title for the goddess Anat, but it may also be a title for other goddesses associated with fertility.
Astarte was connected with fertility, sexuality, and war/(which inner current times signals transformation, as I mention in the broadcast). Her symbols were the lion, the horse, the sphinx, the dove, and a star within a circle indicating the planet Venus. Pictorial representations often show her naked, as seen left
Astarte first appears in Ancient Egypt beginning in the Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt along with other deities who were worshipped by northwest Semitic people. She was worshipped especially in her aspect of a warrior goddess, often paired with the goddess Anat.

Lisa. As a ♋️🌞♓️Asc, and ♈️ 🌑, I ❤️ your work..Thankyou for helping me to attune to the moon, although I've always had a closeness with it, I love how you put into words, resonant feelings and energies that I need to move through and you are a wonderful prompter, guide.. "commit to our vision with patience & courage".. you have no idea how much this means to me. I first came across you on wonderful Indight Timer app, and as a 51 recovering well addict(last four years) now that I've put down the drugs, facing menopause, and the honeymoon period of that is over, I feel stuck by how to move forward next and yet your words, and Astartes energy is so helpful to me and I am grateful. _/|\_

Thank you Clare for your comments and sharing. Yes, there is so much to be hopeful about.. also much for us to clear and move through... the good news is we are in it and we are exactly where we need to be. I also love Astarte's strength, wisdom and feminine power. Exactly what is needed on out planet at this time. Much love and many blessings to you!
