If we go by Scripture and not man, we find that the Queen of Heaven is mentioned in Jeremiah 7:18 and 44:18. She is an abomination to God. Read about her. Below is a commentary on Jeremiah 44:18 it tells you who she is and now you know why she is an abomination to Yahweh.

44:18 Queen of heaven refers to Ishtar, a goddess of war and fertility who was worshiped with explicit sexual activity. The people reasoned that when they stopped worshiping the queen of heaven in the days of Josiah’s reform, their king was killed and their land was overrun and destroyed.
44:19 Women were leaders in the Ishtar rites, which included incense burning, drink offerings, and special ceremonial cakes marked with the symbol of the goddess (7:18).

Be that as it may, Mary is not Astarte, who is the consort of Baal. If you want imagery, try Revelation, Chapter 12. When we depict Mary, it is the woman with a halo of twelve stars, Mary as mother of the Church, given by Jesus as such to the care of the Beloved Disciple as he stood with her at the foot of the cross.
