Juno (Roman) married to Jupiter
Hera (Greek) married to Zues
Here I sing of Hera
She has a golden throne…
She is an immortal queen
Hers is the most eminent of figures
She is the sister
She is even the wife of Zeus thunderer
She is glorious
All the gods on vast Olympus
Revere her,
They honor her even equal to Zeus
the lover of lightning
Homers hymn to Hera,
translation Charles Boer
(Irving Texas: Spring Publications, Inc., 1979)
Libra is the archetypal energy when healthy most connected to conscious, co-creative, collaborative partnership and relationship.
When these qualities are NOT met – then jealousy, possessiveness, infidelity, manipulation, betrayal, control, projection and abandonment – to name a few – are rampant.
Hera/Juno was wife of Zeus/Jupiter
The stories of Hera and Juno describe her as a jealous vengeful wife. More about why below…
The month of June is named after Juno
Hera/Juno’s symbols are the Peacock, Geese, Rainbow, Scepter and Pomegranate (tying to her to an earlier goddess of the dead – Persephone comes to mind?)
As Queen of Heaven (Venus?) she presided over marriage, sexuality and fertility.
Demetra George shares in her book Asteroid Goddesses some historical insights about the Hera/Juno mythology summing up what has been prevalent in the relationship realm for many centuries.
Zues is described as the philandering husband and Hera is the faithful but angry, vengeful wife taking her vengeance out on the women Zeus pursued.
However, historically, Queen Hera reigned alone until Achaean tribes (in 12th century BC) invaded her homeland. Her immense following was seen as an obstacle – so Hera was forced to become the wife of their chief God Zeus.
Demetra George suggests that from this perspective she was NOT the jealous quarrelsome wife but rather the Feminine Leader or ruling Queen, coerced by alien invaders but never completely subdued.
What is the NEW Story (Relational Blueprint) rewriting the story of Hera and Zues (Juno and Jupiter)?
How do we create a story that features Mystical Sacred Union – Heiros Gamos (or a Sacred Marriage between the masculine and feminine) on all levels including: spiritually, mentally, emotionally, physically, and sexually as a deeply fulfilling experience? Here is a possibility:
Once upon a NOW Time Hera and Zeus committed to their personal growth and relationship from the inside out.
They stopped looking outside of themselves for answers, validation and fulfillment.
They took responsibility for their own experience, realizing they were mirrors for each other including their shadow and their gifts.
They committed to creating a Magical, Loving, Fun, and Fulfilling relationship first with themselves and then with each other.
They practiced:
- Self-forgiveness and forgiving each other
- Compassionate Communication and Active Reflective Listening
- They shared Daily Gratitude and Appreciation
- They honored and practice each other’s love language (see below) and much more…
And they lived Happily Ever After!
2020 Insights
The asteroid Juno and the stars Spica and Zaniah assisted Venus in 2020 when she was rising into her relational power. You may recall Venus rose as a morning star in Libra November 1, 2018 for the first time in 155 years. It was powerful to have Juno in Libra as Venus reached the end of her 19 month initiation in a super rare occurrence worth noting.
The asteroid Juno (no matter what sign she occupies) and her relational Goddess expression represents the deepest desire for personal connection with a beloved other and where we are also learning cooperation and compromise ideally creating relational harmony that includes balanced equal value with others.
