The Queen Of Heavens that apostate Jews were worshiping during the time of the prophet Jeremiah was likely Astarte. The women back there were baking sacrifical cakes to this goddess. (jeremiah 44:15-19)
Her counterparts are known as Innana, Ishtar, Isis, Osiris,Isi and Iswara and Cybele She was said to be the wife of Tammuz a pagan god. Tammuz, also called Damuzi was originally a man, a King of Erech, possibly one and the same as Nimrod, (Check Genesis 10:10)
So the Queen of The Heavens was Nimrods wife, but Semiramis was his mother.
Nimrod’s mother, being the wife of Cush, was a granddaughter of Noah’s wife, who survived the great flood, the same as the fishes. Note how the Babylonish pagan religion made use of this fact in deifying Semiramis, making her a goddess, the daughter of the fish-goddess Atargatis.
In his book "The Two Babylons", Alexander Hislop wrote "Easter is nothing else than Ashtate the Queen of the Heavens, whose name is Ishtar".

Who Was Nimrod

She was Nimrod's wife and she was very immoral. I just read about her on line and it cleared up a few ideas. Thanks for pointing her out.
Nimrod was a mighty hunter in opposition to YHWH/Jehovah. He met her, and I believe I read she was a prostitute. But Nimrod married her. Then she had a child/son of adultery. Later she had Nimrod killed. She ruled as queen for 42 years. Her son was spoiled rotten, and eventually wanted to be King, and had his mother murdered to become King. His legacy is the famous god Tammuz, that in Ezekiel, 8:14 we can see the Israelite women weeping over, to God's displeasure.
The name Semiramis, was a prename of Shinar. In Zechariah 5:9 the two women of God, raise up the ephah of wickedness, and it gets deposited in Shinar, its proper place. This is symbolized by the region of Babylon which was destroyed by God, to never be rebuilt, so that is also where the ephah ends up, totally destroyed.
She would be called the queen of heaven, as heaven means governments, sometimes in the Bible. So, she is the queen of wickedness, and false religion, and her legend lives on. Babylon was notorious for idol worship, and those ideas still exist today in false worship.
That is why Babylon the Great, the daughter of ancient Babylon, is doomed to destruction soon, by the governments as the true God YHWH puts that in their heart as final judgment for her.
Revelation 17:16,17 And the 10 horns that you saw, and the wild beast, these will hate the harlot and will make her devastated and naked, and will eat up her fleshy parts and will completely burn her with fire. For God put it into their hearts to carry out HIS thought, even to carry out their one thought by giving their kingdom to the wild beast, until the words of God will have been accomplished.

In the 10th chapter of Genesis is given the origination of all false feast days, Vr 6 " And the sons of ham,Cush, Mizraim, and Put, and Canaan." Vs 8-10 "And begat Nimrod; he became a might one it the earth. He was a mighty hunter before (also translated as against) the Lord. And the beginning of his Kingdom was Babel." He started the false feast days, the Tower of Babel and scattered them to the whole earth. Thus the teachings of Nimrod are in the whole earth.
These fals teaching are still with us today. Nimrod was instrumental in establishing the many practices of Idolatry, Astrology, and the many false feasts that are observed in the world today. Nimrod's wife, Semiramis, was a beautiful woman in the eyes of the people, so it was easy for them to follow her after Nimrod's death. her name has come down to us today as Venus, Isis, Ishtar, Artemis, Estra, and in the Bible as Diana, Astroth, Semiramis and the Queen of heaven. Judges 2:13, "And they forsook the Lord, and served Baal and Astroth. these are Nimrod and his wife Semiramis. Read Jeremiah, chapters 7 and 44 and you will find out just how the Lord views the adoration of the queen of heaven. Semiramis never married after the death of Nimrod, but after some time she gave birth to a son on the 25th of December. This son was named Tammuz. Semiramis claimed that the spirit of the sun, her husband Nimrod, was the father of Tammuz. Thus the worship of the sun was started. Today we are influenced and partake of all the feasts of sun worship that started from this falsehood, which the false Christian Churches have established.
Tammuz was also a great hunter, like his father Nimrod. He was killed by a wild Boar, in the spring of the year. This cause so much grief to Semiramis and all the people that a 40 day period of mourning was established to mourn his death. This was a period of weeping for Tammuz ans was established be the phase of the moon. The time of weeping started extended from the first full moon after the vernal equinox, the 21st of March, until the first Sunday after this full moon; exactly the same method which Easter is determined today. So this great feast, Easter that is celebrated for the resurrection of Our Lord is and determined by the phase of the moon, and was established to mourn the death of Semiramis's illegitimate son Tammuz. It may vary from the 23rd of March to April the 25th.
This weeping for Tammuz was done in the time of Ezekiel. Ez. 8:14, "Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the Lord's house which was toward the north, and behold, there say there women weeping for Tammuz. This did not please the Lord. We still have people observing this custom today in the observance of the 40 days of Lent. They still brake bread with a "T" on it in remembrance of Tammuz. These are the hot cross buns that the false Christian Churches use today. This is one of the feasts that started with the beginning of sun worship that is used ot worship the Lord, and those who partake of these feasts are following the way of sun worship.
We can see clearly that Nimrod became the sun God, and his wife Semiramis the moo-goddess, the queen of heaven. The death of her illegitimate son became the period of weeping before the time of the celebrating of Easter. The women dress up in all their finery to look and duplicate the beauty of the adulteress widow of Nimrod. This is a time for all people to worship, or practice the resurrection of Christ by facing the east, and greeting the rising of the sun. This is determined by the phase of the moon for forty days of lent, which is nothing but blasphemous Pagan worship, cleverly camouflaged by Satan in his blasphemy of God.

The legends ran as follows: Semiramis was the daughter of the fish-goddess Derketo of Ascalon in Syria and a mortal. Derketo abandoned her at birth and drowned herself. The child was fed by doves until she was found and brought up by Simmas, the royal shepherd. Afterwards she married Onnes or Menones, one of the generals of Ninus. Ninus was so struck by her bravery at the capture of Bactra that he married her, forcing Onnes to commit suicide. After Ninus's death she reigned as Queen in her own right, and conquered much of Asia.
The Jewish historian Josephus relates Ninus to the Biblical hunter-king Nimrod. It is said that even though Nimrod was her son she married him when he grew to be a strong hunter.[citation needed]
The name of Semiramis came to be applied to various monuments in Western Asia, the origin of which was forgotten or unknown (see Strabo xvi. I. 2). Ultimately every stupendous work of antiquity by the Euphrates or in Iran seems to have been ascribed to her even the Behistun Inscription of Darius (Diod. Sic. ii. 3). Of this we already have evidence in Herodotus, who ascribes to her the banks that confined the Euphrates (i. 184) and knows her name as borne by a gate of Babylon (iii. 155). Various places in Media bore the name of Semiramis, but slightly changed, even in the middle ages, and the old name of Van Province was Shamiramagerd, Armenian tradition regarding her as its founder. These facts are partly to be explained by observing that, according to the legends, in her birth as well as in her disappearance from earth, Semiramis appears as a goddess, the daughter of the fish-goddess Atargatis, and herself connected with the doves of Ishtar or Astartë. The same association of the fish and dove is found at Hierapolis (Bambyce, Mabbog), the great temple at which, according to one legend, was founded by Semiramis (Lucian, De dea Syria, 14), where her statue was shown with a golden dove on her head (33, 39).
The irresistible charms of Semiramis, her sexual excesses, and other features of the legend, all bear out the view that she is primarily a form of Astartë, and so fittingly conceived as the great queen of Assyria.

The Queen of the Heavens, to the best of my knowledge is Inanna.
What makes you think Paganism is false? Given that Paganism is present in all the monotheistic religions - from marriage rituals to religious days celebrated - would that not call into question your particular religion? To quote a very old and very wise homely, "People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones."

No one really knows for sure.
People have been theorizing about who these figures are, based on on each other's speculation, for hundreds of years.
The Bible makes little mention of them.
History and archeology don't add much to the equation.
The rest is myth, superstition and imagination, often applied unprofitably.
There's only one true Queen of Heaven, and that's the mother of Jesus Christ, who is truly the King of Heaven.
This is because in the royal House of David, of which Jesus is the eternal ruler, the mother of the king (not the wife of the king) is officially the queen.
