Asteroid Astraea was discovered in 1845 and named after the Greek virgin goddess of justice, innocence, and purity. In astrology, Astraea symbolizes several significant concepts:
Fair Thinking and Justice:
Astraea represents your fair thinking regarding the world at large and the injustices that exist.
It embodies the concepts of justice, morality, integrity, fairness, and the rule of law.
Synthesis Between Virgo and Libra:
Most astrologers believe that Astraea represents a synthesis between Virgo and Libra.
This combination signifies equilibrium, harmony, and the capacity to distinguish between good and evil.
Scale Symbol:
Astraea is often associated with the Justice card in tarot.
The scale symbol represents Astraea’s reputation as a representation of justice and fairness.
It also stands for peace and tranquility in all aspects of life.
Prominent Astraea in the Birth Chart:
If Astraea is prominent in your birth chart:
You may find it difficult to follow the news because you detest the brutal reality of humanity.
You desire tranquility and calmness, avoiding anything that disrupts your imagined paradise.
You may be biased and opinionated, rejecting people or circumstances that deviate from your moral standards.
Transits and Legal Situations:
Transits involving Astraea can include legal or judgmental situations.
It generally brings a stressful situation to an end.
However, there’s a tendency to remain too firmly within your own frame of mind and be blind to certain truths.
Remember that the study of asteroids is still evolving, and Astraea’s influence serves as guidance for your self-development. 🌟🔮
I'm pretty sure most of you have heard about this asteroid and its functions. Still though I couldn't pass over it because it's relating to the topic of this blog. So I'm gonna do a summary of it, for the people who don't know about it.
Astraea was the Greek goddess of innocence, justice and purity. Her name meant "star-maiden" and she was on earth alongside humans during "The Golden Age Of Man". Everything was perfect until the time that "Iron Age" dawned and bought wickedness. That was the moment she decided to move to the skies as the constellation of Virgo. According to the myth, when Astraea returns to the earth, she'll bring an end to the human suffering.
In astrology she indicates someone who stays in a bad job/relationship/friendship far too long or doesn’t know when to let go. Also she can show someone with strong perseverance, even though that's rare.

Yup. Even though the essence is the same: power, anger, sorrow, loss, abuse. It's just that every asteroid represents a different perspective of these situations/feelings.
