Ishtar

NOW is a great time to start a family, a business or creative venture that fulfills your heart. You may be called upon for advice in matters of love, sex and fertility. Warning: you could be lured to the precipice of an all consuming passion - to play the femme fatale or be enslaved or sacrificed by love. Lust could be confused with finding a soul mate. Consider the long term costs of sex addiction or other compulsions. Desire and fertility could lead to unexpected blessings and possible disruptions and disagreements. Be true. Like Ishtar descending into the Underworld to rescue and resurrect Tammuz, you would do anything for love. Ishtar was the Babylonian High-Mother-Goddess who ruled fertility, love and war. An all consuming lover, both rapture and despair were found in Ishtar’s embrace. Ishtar’s power was not dependant on a male consort – her reign was an autonomous and absolute expression of the divine feminine. Born of the moon goddess Nigal, Ishtar was the Queen of heaven and Virgin Creatrix of the earth.
