Each symbol is unique: a bull for Taurus, ram for Aries, crab for Cancer, etc. and each one has a different meaning. But what if these zodiac signs symbols have been turned into mythical goddesses? That’s exactly what illustrator Emilee Petersmark did and the results are just amazing!

Emilee revealed that she was approached by a band called The Accidentals in 2017, asking her to create 12 posters based on the zodiac signs. The artist admitted that she was not so familiar with zodiac signs at the time but she did a lot of research and reimagined them as mythical goddesses.

It took Emilee a year to finish the project.
