The Roman Goddess Juno is the patroness of marriage and other traditional rites in women's lives. Juno (also known as Hera to the Greeks) was the wife of Zeus. In the border you will notice peacocks...Juno's favorite bird. To learn more about the whole Peacock connection read this: http://ancienthistory.about.com/library/bl/bl_seduction_io.htm
Juno has a moon over her head which is a symbol associated with the female gender. She also holds something in her hand. At first it looks as if she is holding it our to show to you, but after closer examination it seems as if she is holding at the side...as if to say look but don't touch. The "look but don't touch" philosophy is also one she held about her cheating husband Zeus. Juno is also associated with jealousy. It's interesting that Juno was picked to depict this card. The Heirophant card is often associated with marriage, but it is more associated with conforming to a group or a social pressure. Juno did not have a marriage to Zeus in the sense they had everlasting love and a bond...it seemed like their marriage was just something on paper. They were the queen and king of the gods. I wonder if they felt even they had to conform.
