THE NINE MUSES OF THE ARTS – URANIA (MUSE OF ASTRONOMY)

 

The nine muses

Daughters of Zeus

Inspiring of mortals

And nurturers of the arts

The ninth and final was,

The divine Urania,

Heavenly muse,

Was the muse of astrology

A globe in her hand

Dressed in a cloak embroidered with stars

Urania was reader of the stars

URANIA

 

The last mythological muse

Urania, muse of astrology

Foreteller of the future

By the stars array

Dressed in a cloak

Embroidered with stars

Holding a globe in her left hand

Always looking to the heavens

a goddess of universal love

And possessed with the holy spirit

The Renaissance Urania

Was muse to the Christian poets

And still gazed to the heavens

But saw God amongst the stars
