Which deity is associated with Gemini?
Athena, a goddess of wisdom
An imposing and splendid warrior goddess, Athena protector of heroes chosen by herself and of the city of Athens, she was the only female divinity of Olympus represented wearing armor, with the visor of the helmet pulled back to reveal her beauty, a shield arm and a spear in hand.
Athena was also represented next to seated Zeus, in the position of a warrior who protects her king, or next to Achilles or Ulysses, the greatest Greek heroes of the Iliad and the Odyssey.
Athena’s entry into Olympus was spectacular: she came out of Zeus’s head with the appearance of an already adult woman, wearing a shining gold breastplate and a sharp spear in her hand, emitting a powerful war cry.
She never met her mother, Metis, an ocean deity known for her wisdom, who was the first consort of Zeus.
Athena was the protector, counselor, patroness, and ally of men of valor such as Perseus, Hercules, Achilles, and Odysseus.
The martial and domestic skills associated with Athena underlie planning and execution, activities for which intellectual and creative skills are not enough, as they require intentional thinking.
As well as Goddess of Wisdom, Athena was also a warrior deity who did not hesitate for a single moment to present herself before the enemy, even if she oversaw a type of war with the noblest aspects, that is a war of defense or undertaken for “just” cause.
Athena was the daughter of Zeus and Metis, and the story of her birth is very special. It happened that Zeus received a sinister prophecy from his divine grandparents, Uranus and Gaia: if Metis had given birth to a male child, he would have ousted him.
So the Father of the Gods, who particularly cared about his own status, decided to make the insane gesture of swallowing him as soon as he was born. Thus, it was that, nine months later, Zeus began to suffer from a very strong migraine, which threatened to drive him crazy, so as a last resort, he convinced Hephaestus, the God of Fire, to strike an ax blow on his head. Athena emerged from the wound, already fully armed.
Athena is a female archetype who demonstrates how knowing how to think and keep a cool head in the heat of emotional situations and develop adequate strategies in the midst of a conflict are natural traits for some women, who therefore do not behave like a man, but like Athena.
Athena’s wisdom was that of the general who deploys the troops or the captain of industry who developed the best commercial strategy. Furthermore, as the goddess of trades, Athena was dedicated to making things as useful as they were beautiful: her skill as a weaver was especially known, a profession in which hands and mind must work together.
She can be a mentor, a guide, but also a wonderful metaphor of a woman’s growth and journey from a child to a woman going through several challenges and obstacles.
She must be able to recover the infantile self, that is, it must be able to approach life with the wide-open eyes of a child where everything is a new discovery, and laugh, cry, let itself be embraced.
Since Athena never knew her mother, from a metaphorical point of view, Athena’s link with the maternal archetype is missing, a bond that she must get to feel within herself, to live deeply and instinctively motherhood and the maternal role and rediscover the relationship with the female. Athena’s energy is inside each of us so that she can decide when to wear her own armor.
