Description

Born from the foam of the sea, the goddess of love, beauty and pleasure is deeply attuned to the wisdom of the reflective Moon, symbolizing her ability to reflect the beauty that is projected onto her. In this way, Aphrodite in her truth is a rosy mirror, reflecting back to those who see her the beauty that resides within themselves.

Like a luminous pearl within it’s shell, she appears to remind us of the miracle that resides within our own shells that we uphold, inviting us to crack ourselves open wide enough for the light of that miracle to grace the world.

While she is attuned to the mystic waters of the sea, she is a goddess of bounty, and is found most readily in Spring’s flowers who cannot help but instill wonderment, hope and exquisite love within us all. For the flower does not spring forth from the ground with any thought of how it should be, but gives itself freely to anyone who slows down long enough to admire its majesty…

In this way, Aphrodite is most closely tied to the sign of Taurus, the fixed earth sign of bounty, fertility, sensuality and earthly pleasure. Taurus is ruled by Venus and is a deity that is typically used interchangeably with Aphrodite. Taurus is also where the Moon happens to be exalted…

This visual talisman is intended to invoke the spirit of Aphrodite and the sign of Taurus, creating an opening to the luminous majesty within, and promoting an awakening of the senses to the endless, beautiful miracles that can’t help but spring to life all around us.
