The Goddess of Beauty: Hips, Dips and All

TW: BODY IMAGERY: BODY DISMORPHIA: ED

Hello everyone! I hope your day is going well. I have had this thought in mind for quite some time, and I want to post about goddesses and the cross-cultural depictions of beauty. In astrology, Venus is the planet of love, fertility, beauty, and harmony. However, within the depictions, cross-culturally, it seems like she is depicted as a full-figured woman with hips, dips, and all (I know all these women are not called Venus, but when I say that, I mean the goddesses of Beauty). But, within the times now, it seems that women whose bodies are full-figured are often hated and told to "lose weight" to fit the skinny heroin chic or the BBL body and skinny waist. It's extremely unattainable for all women, and I want women from every corner of life to not feel bad for their bodies, as all bodies are beautiful.

Let me show you depictions of the goddess of beauty across the diaspora.

Aphrodite (Greece):

Venus of Willendorf (found in Austria):

Kichijoten (Japan):

Lakshmi and Parvati (India):

Oshun (Africa):

Venus (Italy):

There are a lot more depictions of beauty as well.

These depictions of beauty are very vast and all different (due to cross cultures). I just wanted to note the different versions of beauty, and how each version of beauty is not lesser than the next.

Within America's standards' however, I want to note some famous women who are beautiful within the standards and some of their words about their journey's and struggles with this topic.

Bella Hadid

" I always ask myself, how did a girl with incredible insecurities, anxiety, depression, body-image issues, eating issues, who hates to be touched, who has intense social anxiety—what was I doing getting into this business"

“I wish I had kept the nose of my ancestors,” she says. “I think I would have grown into it.”

“I’d pack my little lunch with my three raspberries, my celery stick. I was just trying, I realize now, to feel in control of myself when I felt so out of control of everything else.”

We also know her relationship with her mother Yolanda, and how harsh she was to both Bella and Gigi about their eating habits :(

Beyonce:

"I remember when I started hearing people criticise me after I had put on some weight. I was 19"

"During my recovery, I gave myself self-love and self-care, and I embraced being curvier. I accepted what my body wanted to be."

"I think it’s important for women and men to see and appreciate the beauty in their natural bodies. That’s why I stripped away the wigs and hair extensions and used little makeup for this shoot."

Marylin Monroe:

Quotes from someone close to her:

A common ‘Marilyn quote’ that seems to pop up a lot on social media is “Don’t worry if you’re not a size 0. It’s society who’s ugly.”

Marilyn actually stuck to a rather extreme diet regimen to maintain her tiny frame, with her weight fluctuating quite frequently.

Jennifer Lawrence

In article: Lawrence then told Harper’s Bazaar UK that she was told by people in the industry (when she was younger) that she was fat.

“Today, if anybody even tries to whisper the word ‘diet,’ I’m like, ‘You can go f*** yourself.'”

Rihanna

“But, you know, it comes with a price. You want to have a butt, then you have a gut.”

Demi Moore

Her experience with a photographer at 14.

“The perfect example is when I was told to lose weight multiple times. The producer pulled me aside. It was very embarrassing and humiliating. But that’s just one thing."

Jennie Kim

Some comments under the post:

"Why does it look like you're pregnant?"

"She needs CK team to photoshop her bloatedness"

"Either she has a bloated stomach or is preggy with g-drugon ijbol"

Nicki Minaj

In the article: “There are questions that you can’t just google,” she explained. “Every day a mom has to wake up and be a supermom no matter what they’re faced with. It’s gotten so easy to be alone physically, where young people spend 12, 16 hours a day in their rooms on their phones, looking at these false realities, comparing themselves. I’ve seen artists gone way too soon, and I wonder if that could have been avoided if they’d just had the chance to talk about what they were going through.”

These are women who are considered beautiful, and these are their experiences with body issues, shaming, and the culture surrounding health.

I know that these depictions of beauty are across different cultures, and they speak from a different period than what we are now, but why shouldn’t these depictions of beauty be embraced today? These different varieties of beauty should be celebrated, not restricted. All these depictions are different varieties, not a one-size-fits-all-all, why do women have to restrict and fight for a body they do not have to be seen as beautiful? Body standards change over time, and it's crazy to force women into this form of beauty when all these forms of beauty depicted earlier are of Venus, goddesses of beauty, fertility, love, and harmony.

To anyone reading this, I just want you to know that you should not force yourself or restrict yourself to fit a standard that is not meant for you. Your beauty is not a one-size-fits-all-all, nor should your body be.

When times get hard, and when people piss me off, I remind myself that I soon will be far away and that when the time is right, I will ultimately block them and they will never know😩😩

i swear feline yoni women have such SHARP cheekbones like no other (ashlesha, punarvasu, vishakha, chitra, dhanishta, purva bhadrapada) like i swear someone can get a paper cut due to their sharp ass cheeks! (pause)

likeeee LOOKK!

doechii: ashlesha sun, rising

tyra banks: punarvasu rising

alexia demie: chitra moon, ashlesha rising

miley cyrus: vishakha moon

marilyn monroe: ashlesha rising, dhanishta sun

megan fox: ashlesha moon

jhene aiko: purva bhadrapada sun and moon

like underneath their cheekbones they all have a shadow that makes it look sharper, enhancing their features. they have a oval face shape but their chin points down a little, lowkey gives fairy 🧚‍♀️. when people try to suck their cheeks, it gives that look of sharp cheekbones but the examples i have are just effortlessly naturally high cheekbones. feline yoni and their paper cut cheekbones!

if someone has high cheekbones and have a shadow underneath when taking pics and stuff, they may have a feline yoni present in their top 3!

I’m down for the fall of these industry moguls, fuck THEM AND FUCK ALL OF THEM

how you can experience chiron in taurus in the 11th house

Hey!

Chiron is a planet that related to trauma, pain, and the wounds we suffer and the sign and house it’s in shows the wounds we experience throughout our life. but chiron is also the wounded teacher, teaching others how to help others heal their pain and accept the trauma we’ve endured.

for chiron in taurus in the 11th, it’ll be an experience of never having a stable friend group. taurus represents stability, the pleasure of life, sensuality, security, practicality, self worth, and rigidity to change. the 11th house rules friendship, network, and social groups

so you may experience having friends who are stubborn, who doesn’t want to change with you, who have low self esteem and can also not be stable enough for you. taurus also rules the second house which is finances, so having friends who may use you for your money. it can also indicate having self esteem issues and wanting to be accepted by your social peers. Having friends that does not share the same values as you do, overindulging with friends or being too scarce with them that doesn’t align with your values or they to you.

i hope that explained your question 🫶🏾🫶🏾

take life a little less seriously. learn a skill that isn’t resume-friendly. own your decisions without punishing yourself. both above average and average results are great; it’s good to do something at all. do many things, do many things badly. think about the big picture. the time is passing, regardless

There are way too many sons out here where their Mothers kiss the floor they walk on, but a young girl is held to an impossibly higher standard.

As a black woman, and in our community sons who do degenerate things are constantly being praised and given grace to due "white supremacy", but a black girl who gets abused by the very same men never gets that same grace. Look how people baby Kanye due to him losing his mother versus the high standard they put on Megan who also lost her mom. That comparison (there are so many more stories) let alone should be a definition of the grace men for doing shitty things despite whatever issues they blame their mothers for.

It's audacious. No shade to the original OP though 🙂🫶🏾

A common argument I hear about men's maltreatment of women is that they were raised poorly by their parents, particularly by their mother.

While I agree that mothers play a role in raising misogynistic men, I don’t think it's fair to pin it entirely on them. Because at the end of the day, men have a mind of their own and are free to make their own choices.
