The Goddess Of Seduction You Embody, Based On Your Zodiac Element
There is something incredibly empowering about aligning yourself and your seductive nature with that of a goddess. There is an inner love goddess within us all and perhaps it’s time to understand who that is.
Fire – Eos, The Greek Dawn Goddess
Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
In mythology, Eos was a personification of the dawn. Every morning, she rose over the horizon and brought light and clarity to the world. Like the light Eos shined, fire signs are naturally stunning, warm, approachable, and passionate. They are typically more caught up in the raging passion and dramatics of intense love and seduction. But just as Eos shines brightly in the day and gives energy to life, at night she is extinguished and awaiting the next dawn.
Fire signs tend to get so caught up in the dramatics of romantics, so much so that they tend to burn themselves out. They are intense and passionate and demand the same level of intensity back. They are deeply sexual and are in love with the idea of love. It’s easy to fall in love with them because their intensity can be quite addicting. But when they set like the sun, they become drained and withdrawn, causing others to wonder what they might have done wrong. This happens because fire signs must conserve the rest of their passion and energy for themselves. Call it self-love. It is this passion that they feel for themselves and for their lives that helps them create such a magnetic pull. They fall in and out of love easily, and while they certainly know what they are doing in bed, their lovestruck nature makes everything they do magical.
Earth – Hedone, Goddess of Pleasure
Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
Who better to embody your inner earth sign seductive goddess qualities than Hedone, Goddess of Pleasure? Earth signs represent what is practical, tangible, materialistic, and what is grounded in the earth we physically walk on. With earth signs, there is a focus on what we physically see and experience in life and exploring all the vices and virtues of life because what is existence without the highs and lows of physical variety?
Hedone, Goddess of Pleasure, is associated with sensual pleasure and the pain that lies within excess. Though you are grounded and appreciate your possessions for what they represent to you, you believe that if we’re meant to walk this earth and experience existence in the physical realm, then we might as well enjoy it while we can and seek out the pains that come from pleasure. In love and seduction, earth signs can be elusive and mysterious when they have the right admirer locked in their gaze. Like Hedone, Earth signs aren’t afraid to explore the body and seek the pleasure it may provide even at the potential cost of great pain.
The word “hedonism” refers to the pursuit of pleasure through seduction and indulgence. Like Hedone, Earth signs may appear coy at first, but this is only because, unlike all the other elements, earth signs have learned how to embrace the depths of human desires and understand how to use them to their advantage. Earth signs often have a different side of who they are that is exciting, dangerous, and mysterious.
Air – Venus, Roman Goddess of Love and Beauty
Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
With Venus, Goddess of love, beauty, and desire. Nobody knows the spiritual awakenings that happen in love better than the air sign. Plato interpreted Venus as a heavenly goddess who represented the love that is intellectual, mature, and spiritual. Like the air that we breathe, your sign exists in the invisible plane. We feel the wind upon our cheeks, yet can never see it. The love you seek is based on what is felt, not what is seen.
I’m trying to keep this PG-13, but for those lucky enough to have “experienced” your “passion”, the experience is nothing short of insane. A “little death,” if you will, you crazy seductive goddess you. Because air signs understand the eternal strength, tranquility, and peace that can be found in higher transcendence. Air signs are often less bound to their physical insecurities because they find intellectual foreplay, witty flirtations, and secretive seductions way more stimulating.
For air signs, playing the game is their aphrodisiac. It’s not so much the physical aspect of love that they find exciting, but rather the anticipation of it all. Like the feeling you get when you lock eyes with your lover from across the room. That feeling where even though you’re both in a room full of other people, nobody exists except the two of you. The excitement of knowing but not knowing. Air signs love to daydream and fantasize about love and sex. They romanticize the physical aspect in a way that is creative, imaginative, and adventurous, then bring it to life. It’s an experience that is felt, but there’s a certain je ne ce quoi to it all for air signs.
Water Signs – Aphrodite, Greek Goddess of Love and Sex
Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
Water signs are fluid like the rivers, sensitive like tides are to the moon, and emotionally deep like the oceans. Just as Aphrodite, Goddess of Love, Sex, and Beauty, rose from the sea foam in all her femininely divine glory, water signs share a similar ethereal presence that is seductive, magnetic, and entrancing.
What I love about Aphrodite for you is how closely she resembles the symbolic nature of water and water signs. Aphrodite was known for her remarkable beauty and her fluid nature in love. She saw love and passion as endless as the seas and had many lovers and admirers. You naturally are good at tapping into the feelings of anyone trapped in your gaze. It’s almost fun for you since it comes so easily.
No matter who you are behind closed doors, there is always passion behind your actions. Aphrodite was also considered the patron of sacred prostitutes. With that said, water signs feel free to define their sexuality in a way that works for them and nobody else. Unconcerned with what others might think.
