Who is Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love?
According to one legend, the goddess of love and beauty, Zeus’ daughter, rose out of the sea foam off the coast of Cyprus. Although this goddess has had many names throughout history, her energy has remained the same.
Aphrodite’s energy is strong, sensitive, innately feminine, confident, powerful, and fearless. Aphrodite is the embodiment of the ultimate Divine Feminine energy.
Aphrodite is often pictured as a beautiful woman with perfect features, flowing hair, and a perfect body.
But her power lies in much more than her exterior appearance.
Aphrodite is a force to be reckoned with and draws her power from within. She is fiercely independent in the pursuit of her dreams, and she is fearless.
This goddess is a lover who gives her love freely but knows her worth. She will not tolerate any abuse!
Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, wanted to be the best.
Although it might seem trivial to hold a beauty contest between deities, it is really about who was determined and the most cunning.
Aphrodite was the first boss baby, and her goddess energy is present in each one of us.
Aphrodite struck a deal. This agreement led to the launch of the Trojan War… whoops!
She was ultimately successful in accomplishing what she had set out to do.
Aphrodite did not abandon the Trojan soldiers at various times during the war and took some responsibility for her actions. Aphrodite teaches us how to honor our inner goddesses and be fierce in the pursuit of our dreams.
Just remember to thank the people who helped us reach our goals!

Go out and conquer the rest of the world.
