Elizabeth I 

On this day in 1533 my fellow Virgo and one of my favourite queens was born. Elizabeth Tudor reigned in England for 45 glorious years and was an inspirational woman who maintained her independence and power in a male dominated society.

A few inspiring quotes from the legendary Elizabeth I who was born this day in 1559. The glorious painting below is The Ditchley Portrait by Marcus Gheeraerts the Younger circa 1592

Do not tell secrets to those whose faith and silence you have not already tested
The past cannot be cured
I do not want a husband who honours me as a queen, if he does not love me as a woman
