Nearest Development Zone:

⦁ Often, Aphrodite acts intensely and impulsively. She must learn to look inside herself, analyze her feelings, values and motives and separate the really important from the insignificant for her.

⦁ When Aphrodite enters a rival world, her subtle soul can be wounded, "trampled underfoot." She needs not to fight, like Athena, in the thick of battle, but to watch, wait and gradually gain power in a roundabout way.

⦁ It is important to maintain boundaries and emotional distance in close relationships, which will allow you to protect your interests, see the situation as a whole and discern important details.

⦁ Learn to say “no” to other people and your special impressionability. It is the ability to say "no" that will help a woman to fulfill her intentions and choose what is best for her. And, therefore, it will help determine the direction of your life.

Myths about Aphrodite:

Some consider her to be the daughter of Zeus and Dione, while others claim that the beautiful Aphrodite was born from sea foam. When drops of blood of the wounded Uranus fell to the ground, one of them fell into the sea and formed foam, from which the beautiful goddess arose. After being born from sea foam and going to the coast of Cyprus, Aphrodite ascended Olympus. Seeing the beautiful goddess, under whose feet flowers blossomed, whom the birds glorified with their singing, the other gods could not remain indifferent. They greeted loudly the most beautiful of all and eternally young Aphrodite. Neither gods nor people could resist her strength and power - Aphrodite kindled love in their hearts.

In the Iliad, Homer tells the myth of the golden belt - one of the gifts of Aphrodite. The goddess Hera asks Aphrodite for love and sweet desires, to which the hearts of both immortals and mortals are subdued. Hera has her own cunning plans, but the golden Aphrodite gives her what she asked for: she takes off and gives Hera a belt with an exquisite pattern, which contained love, desires and other "charms". In addition to her belt, Aphrodite had a golden bowl filled with wine. Anyone whom the goddess allowed to drink from this cup received eternal youth.

Many powerful inhabitants of Olympus sought the love of a beautiful goddess, but she married an ugly, lame-legged Hephaestus. True, he was an outstanding person. A blacksmith and jeweler, Hephaestus became a great artist of his craft, with whom none of the gods could compare in the ability to create beauty. He possessed great physical strength, and, in addition, he was wise and knew how to reconcile those at war. Having married Hephaestus, Aphrodite remained passionate and amorous, because she happened to cheat on her husband. In the Odyssey, Homer describes the dramatic events associated with the fact that Aphrodite cheated on her husband Hephaestus with the god of war Ares. Hephaestus learned about the treachery of lovers and planned revenge. As an excellent jeweler, he made a thin and strong gold net and fixed it over his and Aphrodite's marital bed, while he went to Lemnos. Taking advantage of the absence of Hephaestus, Ares and Aphrodite indulged in love pleasures on that very bed under a thin net. The net made by Hephaestus fell and entangled the lovers so that it was impossible to get rid of it. Halfway through, Hephaestus returned, seeing Aphrodite and Ares, he was very upset, lamented and grieved, saying about his wife: "True, she is beautiful, but her heart is changeable."

Aphrodite gave her love not only to gods, but also to people. She fell in love with Adonis - the son of the king of Cyprus, such a beautiful young man that no woman's heart could resist him. Adonis was very fond of hunting, where Aphrodite often went with him. She asked her lover to hunt only hares and chamois, so as not to endanger herself while hunting wild animals. But one day, in the absence of Aphrodite, Adonis's dogs drove a boar. The young man, in the excitement of hunting, rushed in pursuit, the boar rushed at him and inflicted a mortal wound on him. Upon learning of the death of Adonis, the inconsolable Aphrodite went through the mountains of Cyprus to look for his body. She walked, not noticing in her grief that stones and thorns in blood hurt her legs. Where the drops of the goddess's blood fell, roses grew. Having found Adonis, Aphrodite bitterly mourned him, and while she was crying, a beautiful flower - anemone - grew from the blood of Adonis. Mighty Zeus, seeing the suffering of his beautiful daughter, ordered his brother Hades to release Adonis from the kingdom of the dead for a while to meet with Aphrodite. Since then, Adonis has been living in the underworld for six months, and for six months he returns to earth to the goddess of love. These six months correspond to two seasons - spring and summer.
