Goddess Signs

I was recently looking over the book Goddess Signs by Angelica Danton. It's a really good book. It tells you based on your Chinese Zodiac sign, which type of goddess you are, which are listed as Moon Goddess Women (Goat Woman: The Natural Nymph, Dog Woman: The Natural High Priestess, and Cat Woman: The Natural Enchantress), Sun Goddess Women (Dragon Women: The Natural Queen and Rooster Woman: The Natural Diva), Earth Goddess Women (Pig Woman:The Natural Protectress and Ox Woman: The Natural Empress), Warrior Goddess Women (Horse Woman: The Natural Warrior and Tiger Woman: The Natural Huntress) and Dark Goddess Women (Rat Woman: The Natural Bewitcher, Monkey Woman: The Natural Sorceress, and Snake Woman: The Natural Siren). It also follows with a section titled Goddess Types and Relationships which includes Goddess signs and Karma and God signs & Compatibility.

My star sign is a Leo but my Chinese sign is The Horse and my element is Metal instead of Fire. This would make me a Warrior Goddess Woman. The book has this to say about Warrior Goddess in the Introduction:

"Warrior Goddesses are bold, innovative, and energetic. The warrior spirit is forceful and achieving and survives many odds and obstacles. Warrior Goddess women identify with the discipline and dedication of the soldier (eh...not so much.) and the fighter character. In history, the Warrior Goddesses hold a very important place as inspirers of hope for fighting armies and tribes. Warrior Goddesses are admirable and awesome but must beware their over assertiveness and aggression that can alienate them from others. Learning temperance and when to pull their heads in are important lessons for Warrior women, as is balancing their assertiveness with feminine reflection.
Women under the sign of the Horse and Tiger relate well to the Warrior Goddess energy.
Examples of Warrior Goddesses in Mythology:
Valkyries: Nordic war-maiden goddesses who rode throughout the world bringing back to the gods the bravest souls who had fallen in battle.
Brigantia: Celtic goddess of battle, regarded as a symbol of victory to the ancient Celts. (My heritage lol =D)
Sekhmet: Powerful Egyptian lioness-headed goddess of battle and victory.
Nike: Greek goddess who symbolized victory and success to those in battle. The ancient Romans saw her as Victoria, the goddess of victory over death.
Famous Warrior Goddess Women:
Agatha Christie (Tiger)
Barbra Streisand (Horse)
Penelope Cruz (Tiger)
Aretha Franklin (Horse)
Queen Elizabeth II (Tiger)
Cindy Crawford (Horse)"

I have a link and image to this book below. Tomorrow I will add more details of my sign. If this seems interesting to you and you would like to know more about your sign leave me a comment and I might do a few blog entries on your sign.
Blessed Be!
