Goddess of Fertility Day celebrates fertility, life, and rebirth, and takes place a few days before the spring equinox each year. Fertility is the capability to produce offspring, and besides sexual behavior, it is contingent on a number of factors such as nutrition, culture, and economics. There are many goddesses of fertility. Perhaps the best-known goddess is Aphrodite, who is associated with love, beauty, pleasure, and procreation. Her Roman equivalent is Venus, and she is sometimes associated with the Egyptian goddess Isis. Before the spring equinox in ancient times, people prayed and made offerings to Aphrodite, in hopes of starting a family. Some people have called the day Ostara, which is the name of another fertility goddess. Ostara has her own separate day, though, which takes place in just a few days on the spring equinox.
