Aprhodite is can be represented by the symbol for females (the circle with a + sign below it) through her assimilation with the Roman goddess Venus, who lends her name to the planet which is symbolized in the same way.

She is a goddess of love, hence any symbol that is usually associated with love (hearts, lips, x o) can be used to symbolize the goddess as well.

Aphrodite is strongly associated with perfumes of any kind, but especially with sweet cloying smells.

Copper is her sacred metal as her home island of Cypress was the source of much of the copper in the ancient world.

Her sacred plants/herbs include: apple, benzoin, cinnamon, cypress, daisy, orris root, parsley, periwinkle, rose and violet. The Rose is by far the most common and it has come to be a symbol of love in our time as well.

What are Aphrodite symbols and why?

Aphrodite was gorgeous, perfect,eternally young woman with a beautiful body. Yes, but those are qualities, not symbols. ** Aphrodite's symbols are the scallop shell, the dolphin, doves, lovebirds, swans, golden apples, pomegranates and roses. I think the scallop shell and dolphin shows that she was born in the ocean from the foam. (One of the myths of her birth.) The doves, lovebirds,swans,and roses show her power, love. I suppose the golden apple is for her winning that apple thing against Hera and something. T.T; I forgot, it's one of the myths though. The pomegranates for Hades giving the pomegranate to Persaphone which banished her to the underworld.
