Asteroid Ishtar

Ishtar, the Venus/Aphrodite of Ancient Babylon, is amazing. She managed to hold sway over a huge variety of realms; Love, War, Sex, Wine, Courtesans, Flowers…Now so far as I am concerned, the planet currently known as Venus IS also Ishtar but f.y.i. there is an Asteroid Ishtar. Number 7088 if you want to try and put it into your chart via the Astrodienst Extended Options.

I am completely thrilled that my Ishtar is conjunct Lilith. In Capricorn! I have these cool, bitched up feminine asteroids in Capricorn and nothing else, making me think v.differently about that bit of my chart.  There’s an asteroid Aphrodite too. But i repeat: The Morning/Evening Star is it; Venus-Aphrodite-Ishtar et al.

Note that Venus is in the sign of her rulership this week AND moving to trine (easy, flowing) Jupiter in Aquarius. Something stupendously o.t.t. could go on. A BIG love, overblown and imposs to resist. Or it could just be crazy, crazy appetites. The double-a-jeans size in two weeks Jupiter diet. Or a Venusian spending regime where everything you spend turns to health and beauty until the cc statement petrifies you on the spot.

    Ishstar 10 Saggie trine 10 Medusa, 11 Sun, 12 POF , SN 13.

    Kim Falconer always said to use very close orbs and conjunctions and oppositions only…..A trine might be pretty weak.
