Athena
Starwoman
was
born
in
Melbourne,
Australia,
on
July
17,
1945.
Although
she
was
born
under
the
astrological
sign
of
Cancer,
few
knew
her
real
name
or
background.
It
is
recognized,
however,
that
she
came
from
a
long
family
lineage
of
mystics
and
studied
with
a
number
of
great
spiritual
teachers
as
well
as
a
Native-American
shaman.
Athena
built
an
empire
as
a
popular
writer
and
media
personality.
She
offered
celestial
advice
in
many
genres,
from,
Vogue,
Star,
Elegance,
Trump
Style,
Woman’s
Day,
Woman’s
Weekly
and
other
Magazines
to
numerous
newspapers
all
over
the
world.
She
also
published
several
books
including
“Star
Struck,”
“How
to
Be
Lucky
Star
Signs,”
“Zodiac
-
Athena’s
Sunsigns,”
“Soul
Mates
and
the
Zodiac,”
and
“Think
Yourself
Thin.”
She
also
co-authored
with
friend
and
fellow
astrologer
Deborah
Gray,
“How
to
Turn
Your
Ex-Boyfriend
into
a
Toad”
and
“Glamazon:
How
to
be
Fabulous,
Famous
and
Flawless.”
A
long-time
resident
of
New
York
City,
after
September
11,
2001,
her
and
her
husband
sold
their
apartment
in
the
Trump
Tower
and
Athena
divided
her
time
between
Australia’s
Gold
Coast
and
an
apartment
on-board
the
private
resort
cruise
liner
The
World,
where
she
was
able
to
view
the
world
from
her
home.
In
all
the
beautiful
notes
and
letters
sent
to
the
family
on
her
passing,
this
is
one
that
best
describes
her
spiritual
light
and
love
for
life:
“I
met
Athena
almost
exactly
1
year
before
she
passed
away.
I
was
shooting
a
photo
of
her
for
Vogue
Magazine.
Athena
quickly
established
that
my
favorite
song
at
the
time
was
‘Hotel
California’.
She
grabbed
me
by
the
hand,
cranked
up
the
system,
took
her
shoes
off,
and
danced
to
this
song
around
her
apartment
like
a
teenager.
I
was
half
her
age
but
I
will
never
feel
as
young
as
she
was,
or
will
ever
be.
I’m
glad
I
danced
with
her.
Thank
you
Athena,
you
gracious
soul!”

remembered
as
one
