Full Moon, 30 August 2023

Crossposting from the Zucker's site...

It's the full moon in Pisces, at 7° Pisces (tropical), perfecting at 9:36 pm tonight (30 August 2023). This part of Pisces is associated with the Titan Okeanos from Greek/Mediterranean mythology — "great ocean", the wild and unconquerable world-girdling salt-water river. It's a good time to give thanks for your sources of fresh water, and to pray and act for the health of the ocean, and the role of fish in both your diet and in their natural role as the inhabitants of the great waters. 

The Moon is also in the Twenty-Seventh Mansion of the Moon, which is associated with stars in the constellations of Pegasus and Andromeda, and it is associated with magics that create prosperity for yourself — and wreak havoc among your enemies. Medieval Arabic navigators and astrologers associated it with the sound/letter "MIM" and the angel/djinn/spirit named "Alheniel/Alhens." 

You can think of a "Mansion" as like a stretch of highway or important state-number road, and it's the distance that the Moon travels in a single 24-hour period; the 27th Mansion is something like a stretch of road that passes through a quaint town with a lot of good bars, boutique shops, and great restaurants... that also happens to have a lot of fresh water swamps, ponds and lakes on one side of the road, and salt-water marshes, tidal pools, and dune-shielded beaches on the other. Maybe there's a boardwalk with arcades and games, too. "Alheniel" is kind of like the mayor or governor of this place, 'officially in charge' — but Okeanos is the Big Guy in town. 

so... there's a framework for imagination, visualization, journey-work, prayer and magic. Enjoy!

Do you know any placements in the composite or synastry that indicate extreme loyalty/devotion to one another :)?

Loyalty and Devotion

Taking a look at Saturn...

♄ One of the crucial planets when it comes to loyalty and devotion is Saturn, since it is the planet to which we attribute responsibility, consistency, reliability and the willingness to dedicate ourselves to something constantly.

🖤When it comes to synastry, Saturn making a conjunction, trine or sextile with the other person's personal planets can tell us that the Saturn person feels that they want to do things well, that they want to be constant and supportive. 

🩶Some of these aspects with the Sun/Rising make Saturn person feel a strong loyalty towards the other, a deep respect and take them really seriously. It shows us a strong desire to be constant and righteous with the other. The Sun/Rising person, on the other hand, feels that they can trust the other and that they both got each other's back.

🩶When there are favorable aspects between Saturn-Mercury, it tells us about a relationship in which they will never betray the trust that the other places by talking about private things. There is a strong respect for each other's privacy, a lot of prudence and this quality of confidentiality since they will not tell each other's secrets.

🩶The aspects between Saturn and Venus show us that they both focus on building a relationship based on trust and love. The Saturn person shows the Venus person what it is like to have a supportive, stable relationship and above all one in which they will be respected and constantly cared for. Venus person will teach Saturn person to be valued, to accept love and how it feels to have their efforts recognized.

🖤In the composite chart, Saturn tells us about the way in which the couple commits or the aspects of the relationship that they take seriously. A well-positioned Saturn can show us a fairly strong and constant relationship.

🩶The Sun/Moon/Rising-Saturn aspects help the relationship to be characterized and focused on being something solid where both do the right thing in it. This relationship is one in which there is mutual support, both know that they can rely on each other and face any adversity with ease.

🩶Saturn falling in the 2nd house can be a great indicator as well. This is because beyond talking about material values, the 2nd house shows us all kinds of values, making the composite chart’s show something that this couple genuinely appreciates or considers of high value, this being the Saturnian qualities, that is, perseverance, reliability, loyalty, trust and security. This duo seeks to create a relationship with strong foundations and both seek to constantly reaffirm and demonstrate that they are focused on the relationship.

🩶Saturn falling in the 4th house also reflects this, since indicates not only constant emotions, but about mutual and unwavering emotional support. There is a strong respect for the emotional world of the other, a genuine desire to build a safe place in the relationship and for this union to be full of affection, acceptance and understanding.

🩶Saturn whether in the 1st or 7th house can show a lot of loyalty, as it is something the couple aspires to. They want to defend and love each other, never turn their backs on each other and be together whatever the moment they are going through. They do not give up easily and can be very confident in the idea that the other is the one they want to be with.

🩶When Saturn is in the 10th or 11th house, we can see that both have a strong conviction to always be loyal and constant in the relationship. Loyalty can be everything for this couple, and not only respecting the relationship and not being with others, but also feeling that they can be blunt, honest and direct with each other. Precisely because they see each other in the long term, they focus on showing through actions that they seek the same thing and work with the same dedication in the relationship.

The Moon can be a great significator too… 

☾ It's something I've seen frequently in relationships of all kinds that stand out for loyalty. This is more linked to emotions than reason, since a safe place and a deep emotional connection can foster loyalty.

🖤In synastry, aspects with the Moon indicate that Moon Person has managed to connect on a very deep emotional level. Their appreciation for the other person is such that in addition to adoration and affection, they feel that they never want to do things that hurt them.

🩶When Moon is making harmonious aspects with Rising or the Chart ruler of the other person, it spoke to us of a strong inclination to be protective of them. An emotionally deep connection that makes you naturally caring for each other's needs and emotions, as well as awakening the desire to be a strong support throughout your journey together.

🩶The aspects between Moon-Neptune not only help the couple feel a strong emotional and spiritual connection to the other, but also a desire for total dedication to the other. They easily reach each other's core, providing warmth and understanding, sensations that both deeply value and do not take for granted.

🩶The aspects between Moon-North/South Node make both parties feel this affection and appreciation towards the other from the beginning or at least without expecting it. They show affection and appreciation constantly and teach each other what it means to have a nice, helpful bond in which you can share yourself without fear of getting hurt. A strong emotional connection and a lot of devotion.

🖤Likewise, you can analyze the position of the Moon in the Composite Chart and obtain insights about the strong emotional bond and how both show their dedication to it.

🩶With the Moon in the 2nd house, both parties focus on creating a stable and secure foundation, in this case due to the nature of the Moon, emotionally. It strengthens the sense of loyalty, since both seek security and stability in the bond. There is a deep desire to maintain this bond because of how connected and comfortable they feel around each other.

🩶The Moon in the 4th house is very favorable for security and a sense of belonging within the relationship, things just feel good being next to each other. The couple feels emotionally connected, creating an environment of protection, mutual care and loyalty, as they both find refuge in their relationship.

🩶While the Moon in the 8th house shows us an emotionally intense relationship, it can lead to a connection based on trust and loyalty. Here, the couple commits deeply through vulnerability and emotional union and they can feel this deep devotion and loyalty to each other.

🩶The aspects between Moon-Jupiter favor a positive, loving and optimistic emotional connection, where both support and trust each other. The sense of honesty and loyalty is strengthened, and both parties have a generous and trusting attitude in the relationship.

🩶When there are aspects between Venus and Moon, this couple is focused on ensuring that the other is comfortable in the relationship. They have a strong disposition to love and understand each other's needs and make sure that the other does not lack anything.

Pluto’s loyalty needs to be highlighted

♇ When it comes to Pluto, we are talking about intense devotion, powerful attraction, and a deep desire to be close to the other person. Their loyalty is powerful because they don't connect with just anyone. When they find someone with whom there is depth, they don't leave them alone for anything.

🖤In terms of synastry, Pluto in contact with other planets creates a deep connection and can awaken the strongest of dedication and devotion. A union based on the intensity they provoke in the other and that unique way of connecting.

🩶The aspects between Pluto-Moon make them feel deeply drawn towards each other, they love to get to know each other more and keep each other safe and healthy. They awaken a protective instinct towards others and feel a deep devotion to caring for, understanding and loving others intensely.

🩶Venus-Pluto aspects increase their dedication and desire to keep the relationship strong, while also exploring the deeper aspects of your emotional connection. No matter what changes they go through individually or possible ups and downs in their personal lives, they are always willing to be there for each other.

🩶The favorable aspects between Ceres and Pluto tell us about a relationship in which both empower, care for and look after each other in every way. Both parties feel extremely supported and protected by the other, knowing that there is a deeply loyal and secure connection.

🖤Now, as far as Composite Chart is concerned, Pluto can tell us about a really intense connection, things become all or nothing, a deep sense of belonging that makes them greatly value the bond formed, because they know that no other connection can equal it.

🩶Of course we start with Pluto in the 1st house, where dedication and loyalty are not only highlighted, but prominent in all aspects of the relationship. This couple can be so emotionally committed that they become inseparable, a duo who together can do everything and wouldn't give it up for anything in the world.

🩶The presence of Pluto in the 7th house makes both parties feel a deep devotion to the relationship and their partner, since they have the strong certainty that the other is exactly what they want. Not only is there an emotional and physical loyalty, but there can also be this complicity between the two, together, ride or die, ready to face anything together.

🩶When Pluto falls in the 8th house there is a strong devotion, an instinctive loyalty to the other, a strong conviction not to fail the other and on the contrary to continue giving each other reasons to be together and aspire to something in the long term.

🩶In general, having a highly aspected Pluto, especially through trines or conjunctions, can lead to a relationship in which there is a deep connection. It is very common in relationships where both do not let go easily and regardless of the problems that arise, the couple will emerge together, moving towards a better future for both in which they hold each other's hand. Strong support, unbreakable company that leads them to know a lot about themselves and the certainty that no matter what happens, they will count on each other.

🩶The harmonious aspects between Pluto-North Node make them feel that the relationship is destined, that they were meant to be together, which drives this loyalty and dedication to each other and the relationship. Both are willing and driven to work on their challenges and remain faithful to their growth as a couple.

Juno, the asteroid of commitment

⚵ We often attribute to it the meaning of our future spouse or the traits we would like our future spouse to have, yet Juno is an asteroid that has deep-rooted loyalty and immovable devotion. When you decide to be with someone, you will hardly change your mind, because it is more stable.

🖤This asteroid in synastry shows the potential for a serious commitment or at least a formal and lasting relationship. If there are harmonious aspects between Juno and each other's personal planets, it is an indication that both may desire a committed and balanced relationship.

🩶When there are aspects between Juno-Sun they will feel that they are the right one for the other, there will be a strong commitment from the beginning, a strong dedication to the other. They see each other as someone they would like to formalize with, there is an attraction and admiration for each other's personality and attitude.

🩶Juno-Venus aspects make both of you have a more committed view of love when it comes to a relationship with each other. A loving and giving dynamic in which both have the stable, constant and devoted love of the other. Their ideals of long-term relationships make them realize that they have similar ways of seeing them.

🩶The aspects between Juno-Jupiter, more specifically the conjunction, can make both of them completely surrender to each other and the relationship they form. They see the other as a husband/wife material and show a natural commitment and loyalty to the other. They both benefit from this relationship due to the natural satisfaction they feel with the other in all the possible ways. 

🖤In the composite chart, Juno shows how both parties approach commitment and how the relationship works. Above all, it tells us the exclusivity they give each other and how much they give themselves to each other.

🩶Juno in the 7th house indicates that both parties have a strong focus on maintaining a balanced, lasting and supportive commitment. The relationship is serious and marriage or a formal commitment is a pretty big possibility. There is exclusivity, romanticism and commitment in this relationship, which makes them strongly consider spending their lives next to each other.

🩶Juno in the 10th house shows us a relationship in which both work together for a long-term commitment. They take the relationship seriously, it is not something they play with, and they see the other as someone worth building something with. This couple can be recognized for being very close and devoted to each other and it is likely that their relationship stands out a lot for this. 

🩶Sun-Juno aspects, especially conjunction, trine or sextile indicates that this relationship is deeply committed. They both see the relationship as central to their lives, and there is a strong sense of loyalty and respect for each other.

🩶The aspects between Juno-Saturn make the couple plan to be together in the long term and act to make a future together possible. They are willing to make modifications, to understand each other no matter how different they are and to give a lot of themselves, because the love and commitment they feel with each other is decisive. This duo can be together for a long time and feel a lot of devotion and honesty towards each other and their relationship.

🩶Neptune-Juno aspects make the union of both deeper and more spiritual, it is a good indicator of marriage as well as an extreme and total devotion to the other. Willing to sacrifice a lot for each other and the relationship. Loving and gentle attitude towards each other and a lot of respect for mutual well-being.

Vesta, the asteroid of devotion

⚶ This asteroid shows pure and total devotion. It is that total dedication that you give once you find what ignites your soul, and, in this case, when you find a person who is very worthwhile, someone who you don't mind giving your time and energy to.

🖤Vesta in synastry shows the willingness to be dedicated and committed to the other. They may feel a commitment to each other that helps them work toward a shared purpose.

🩶When Vesta is aspecting another person's Sun or Rising, there is a strong sense of loyalty to the other person. Both awaken in the other a mix of tenderness, love and intensity, they are very clear that they never want to fail the other. They feel that it is easy to trust the other, to give them their all, plus they feel delighted with the other person.

🩶When Vesta aspects the Moon, there is a strong emotional dedication to the other, a desire to care for and care for the other's emotions. They feel that emotionally there is no one who can understand them better than the other. A beautiful devotion that makes them always consider the other person and have them as a priority. There is usually a very strong connection on a subconscious and emotional level.

🩶With the aspects between Vesta-Jupiter, both have this inclination to give their all in the relationship, they enjoy the presence of the other person and it can give them an emotional, mental and spiritual peace that is not equal to that of past relationships. Devotion and loyalty arise naturally, they do not have to ask for anything from the other, they are born to be this giving and dedicated to the other and their relationship.

🩶With the aspects between Vesta-Saturn, both parties have the disposition to give a lot to the other equally, to put the relationship at the top of their priorities, they take this union quite seriously and they have this desire to strengthen the relationship more and more through actions, fulfilled promises and the fulfillment of future plans side by side.

🖤While in the composite chart, Vesta indicates the area of ​​the relationship where you both focus or where you share a sense of purpose and devotion. A very strong Vesta can indicate a very strong and united relationship.

🩶When we have Vesta in the 1st house it indicates that this couple is constantly seeking to work on themselves and improve the quality of the relationship. Mutual commitment and dedication to the relationship itself are essential for the couple. They strive to maintain it for the long term, with a focus on improving their bond.

🩶When Vesta falls in the 5th house, both feel committed to keeping the romantic spark alive and finding pleasure in being together, dedicating time to activities that help them connect better in every way. This couple enjoys a deep and giving yet loving and warm relationship.

🩶Vesta in the 6th house is a great position due to the nature of both Vesta and this house. These people have no problem sacrificing things in order to spend time with each other, there is firm and constant support in both, a strong sense of dedication and commitment and a genuine desire to want all the best for the other. Both help each other in times of need or tension and work together to form a connection that lasts over time.

🩶When we see Vesta in the 8th house, the couple may feel a strong devotion and dedication to creating an intense and meaningful emotional and sexual connection. There is a desire to explore the deeper aspects of the relationship and themselves through shared intimacy. There is a willingness to confront the deepest and most vulnerable emotions, and work together on growth.

🩶Vesta aspecting harmoniously Moon or Venus tells us that in addition to constantly wanting to be romantic and expressive with each other, this couple is monogamous and gives themselves completely to each other. There is a desire to cherish this connection because of how meaningful it is for both parties.

"Mortals who were made immortal . . . Icarus and Erigone, his daughter, placed among the stars--Icarus as Arcturus, Erigone as the sign Virgo." -Pseudo-Hyginus, Fabulae 224

with Anthesteria coming up I felt inspired to draw Erigone and her dog Maera the moment she finds her father's body.

it's a bit of an obscure Dionysus myth but one I find really interesting.

Cards: Justice, 3 of Swords, Queen of Swords, 8 of Cups, The Sun, 7 of Wands, Hidden Familiars, Confidence, Belladonna Visions

Welcome to your message from Lord Apollo, pile one! I can see you had to walk away from something that meant a lot to you to gain a dream come true. You do not feel confident about your decision at all. Mostly because you haven't been able to feel the rewards from this huge change yet. You might have moved away from home or left a job that you have been at a long while. You knew you had to do it. The energy from where you were was changing into something that didn't resonate with you anymore. There was a chip on your shoulder where you used to be. You were not being treated with respect. Where you are going is meant to remove that chip and show you how you genuinely deserve to be treated.

Lord Apollo wants me to let you know that the heart break will be worth it. He knows that you are scared about the future and what is to come. He wants me to tell you that you have been guided to this new experience. Good things are coming and you don't need to be scared. The rewards will come with time and practice. Stand firm in your decision and know things will work out for you. You will receive anything and everything you need to help you succeed where you are going. He knows this isn't something you would normally do. You are a very logical person and you always have a plan. This feels like it is something you jumped into without much planning and it feels really anxiety inducing. Trust yourself. Trust that your guides will have your back. Not everyone is going to agree with your decision and you need to know you don't need their approval to make this decision. Things will work out without the approval of others. It is okay to be unsure. It is okay to be scared. Clarity will come to you on why things needed to go the way they need to go.

Welcome, pile two! Lord Apollo wants me to tell you to take a chance on that person. It could be someone you are romantically interested in but it could also just be someone you want to get to know better. This person you are interested in feels like an air sign (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius). Remember you aren't as naive as you used to be. Broaden your horizons. You don't have to sell yourself short anymore. Change how you think about yourself, my dear. You have changed in nature but you still see yourself in the same light that you used to see yourself. You aren't a victim anymore. I will also say don't throw all caution to the wind. Make sure you have a back up plan and remember to keep yourself safe. Just know you don't have to be as scared as you used to be. You are strong. You are driven. You are powerful. You don't have to hide in fear anymore.

Lord Apollo knows you have been through some scary stuff in the past. What you went through wasn't your fault. You have spent a while mourning and that was important for you to do. You don't have to mourn anymore. You can open your heart up to healing. You can look for love in other people again.

Hi, pile three. Lord Apollo really wants you to listen to your mentors and friends. There is something you want to do. I don't want to sugar coat it, my dear. It is a bad idea. Your guides have been trying to steer you from this path because it is going to be very hard and it doesn't have to be. He asks you to listen closely to the music you have listening too. Pay attention to the music you hear when you are out in public. The lyrics are trying to tell you something important about this big choice you want to make. There is a reason things have been delayed so much. There is a reason why everything has been going wrong. Your friends and guides are trying to protect you from someone who is hurting you. Why are you letting them hurt you? Why are you letting them control you? Why? I want you to really REALLY think when I ask you this. Is this person hurting you? Do they actually make you feel good? Are they erasing who you are? Do they make you wear a mask when you are around them?

Lord Apollo showed me visions of my ex when I started doing this reading. He showed me how depressed my ex made me feel. He showed me how all my friends told me not to go with my ex, but I did anyway. The song I put in this readings description was a song I listened to when I was with him to cope with the pain he put me through. (I hadn't read the cards yet when I put that song there.) Please hear me. Please hear you friend and please hear Lord Apollo. Do not trust someone who says they love you but then treats you like trash. You are so much better than that. You deserve better than that. I see that there are two paths. You can either deepen you connection and trap yourself with this person who is not treating you right. OR you can leave them and give yourself the freedom you deserve. If you choose to deepen the connection it will prolong your pain. You will still end up leaving this person. You will just leave with darker bruises and no self esteem. I have been with someone like this. My guides told me to leave too. It took me a long time to listen and it hurt more the longer I stayed. Please trust Lord Apollo. Please trust your friends. They truly love you. They want what is best for you.

Hello, pile four. Welcome to your message from Lord Apollo. Lord Apollo is telling me you lost someone. You think about them a lot even though you are trying to be independent. Your heart longs for this person all the time. I'm so sorry you lost them. I don't mean to be insensitive but you need to let go of them. They aren't yours anymore. You aren't theirs even if you are still under their spell. I'm very sorry. I can hear your crying to love songs you two used to share. It hurts deeply to listen to something that used to give you so much pleasant emotion. Lord Apollo knows how that feels. He know how it feels too long for someone and cry for days at the loss of them. It is hard to move on. I won't doubt that. He apologizes for your pain. Apollo wants to help sooth your heart.

Lord Apollo wants to help you express the pain you feel. I think you may have felt the need to write something recently. He wants to encourage that desire. He will help you. Write poetry or journal. Whatever you feel drawn to do with writing. I think writing romance stories might help you sore heart heal. Your emotions are a well of creativity. Harness the pain and turn it into ecstatic beauty. If you still feel lonely after writing you heart out my dear. You should get a cat and some rose quartz. You are spellbound by this person who had to go. Cats are good at protecting you from energy from spell work. They absorb negative energy and neutralize it. It will be good for your heart to love a little creature. Cats are also very good at teaching independence. Plus, they are very good cuddle buddies. Apollo and me wish you luck. I hope you heart moves on from the pain. I believe in you, my dear.

Bacchus in Aries

You're an impulsive person who loves to live in the moment, often changing plans or emotions with ease. You enjoy finding instant sources of fun, and your best experiences come from spontaneous decisions, especially when they serve your own desires. You feel most free when you have control over your own life, knowing that you can change its course at any moment. Your tendencies include organizing small, random social events like hangouts, brunches, or mini-parties. You're also inclined to initiate new adventures on the spot, planning hikes, parties, or deciding to attend the first concert you find. Spontaneity is your strong suit. One moment you're in bed, and the next you're getting ready to hit a party. You're the kind of person who says yes to any proposal, whether it's risky or not, because you love living with the knowledge that when you're older, you'll have wild stories and memories, knowing that you truly lived life to the fullest.

Bacchus in Taurus

As with any planet in Taurus, you're drawn to the pleasures of luxury. You find joy in material things like clothes, books, or food, which can greatly influence your mood and help you feel at peace with yourself. These indulgences also make you stand out. Shopping is something you particularly enjoy, and at times, it can become an obsession. You may lose control over your spending, which can lead to financial problems. You take great pleasure not only in spoiling yourself but also in spoiling others. You're always ready to give gifts, and it brings you joy when you can surprise others with thoughtful presents. Likewise, you find immense happiness when you receive gifts that are meaningful to you, especially from loved ones.

Bacchus in Gemini

You're someone who communicates effortlessly and frequently. You love to make yourself heard and help those around you feel comfortable in your presence, especially introverted people who often relax and open up around you. There's a natural charm you possess without even trying, and you're like a magnet for others. You find great pleasure in joining conversations and being the voice that sets the tone, sharing your opinions and speaking up for those who are more shy. You're also incredibly intelligent and addicted to constantly learning something new, even the smallest piece of information from anywhere, whether it's from podcasts, books, or your obsession with YouTube. The freedom to speak your mind openly and uncensored gives you immense joy, and you're often eager to engage in discussions about various topics, including politics, because you love to be right. However, your involvement in so many conversations can sometimes lead to conflict and disagreements.

Bacchus in Cancer

Here comes the family-oriented one. You deeply love your family and your closest friends. You're always striving to create harmony within your circles, often acting as the voice of reason that mends conflicts and soothes tensions. You're always there to offer love and support, bringing peace to those around you. When your loved ones face problems, it affects you greatly, and you feel at your best when you can help them. You gain immense confidence and strength when you use your nurturing abilities to care for others. However, this can sometimes become an obsession, and it can take a toll on your mental well-being when your loved ones are in distress or when conflicts arise. You thrive on the well-being of your family, and when there is a rupture or discord, your need for peace and resolution can make you easily frustrated when obstacles prevent you from restoring harmony. After all, peace is what you truly long for.

Bacchus in Leo

Your energy is contagious, and it makes you shine. You love creating situations where you easily stand out, drawing people in with your charisma, humor, or what you say. From your clothing to your attitude, you enjoy having all eyes on you and crave compliments. You take pleasure in being admired and can even serve as an example for those around you, inspiring others who need confidence and the freedom to express themselves authentically. While it's your guilty pleasure to feel like the world is at your feet, this desire for attention can sometimes turn into an obsession, where you lose sight of your true self. What you project outward may become more about pleasing others or seeking validation than expressing who you really are. This can lead to excessive pride, vanity, or a constant need for attention and praise.

Bacchus in Virgo

When Bacchus is in Virgo, it means you have a passion for perfecting everything around you and being the best at whatever you do. You thrive on having an organized life where everything is perfectly coordinated. Whether it’s time management, work, your routine, your home, or any other aspect of your life, it's crucial for you that everything aligns with your expectations. You are always striving to become the best version of yourself and are passionate about activities that can improve your life. You also enjoy planning, both for yourself and others, and love being the person who contributes the most to improving work or school projects. However, you may be too hard on those who don’t share your disciplined lifestyle. While perfectionism makes you feel good, it can negatively affect your mood if things don’t go as planned. You can also be very tough on yourself when your performance isn’t at its peak, which can lead to discouragement and self-criticism.

Bacchus in Libra

You practically breathe aesthetics. You have a vibe that everyone admires, and everything you create (whether it’s fashion, hairstyles, makeup, or projects) comes out beautifully and pleasing to the eye. You're a creative soul who loves literature, theater, art, and music. You adore making vision boards that manifest the pleasures of life you dream about. Living in harmony with others is important to you, and you excel at building strong friendships. When it comes to love, you can become dependent on your relationships and are a hopeless romantic, always searching for the ideal love you’ve dreamed of. However, you're often disappointed when reality doesn’t match the idealized version in your mind, and you sometimes live more in your fantasies than in the real world. You like to maintain a positive, light-hearted aura, but you often struggle with how to handle conflict or stand up for yourself, leading you to retreat inward and avoid confrontation.

Bacchus in Scorpio

You are someone who loves to live life to the fullest, especially when it comes to parties, drinking, drugs, and sex. You're a free-spirited, open-minded individual who’s always ready to try new things. You prefer living life at night and are a natural night owl. You find comfort and peace in darkness, which is when you are most productive. You like to project an image of being in control and don’t like to show fear or anxiety in public. You have a strong sex drive, and masturbation helps you explore yourself. However, there are times when it can become a dependency, potentially affecting your sexual life. You're prone to obsessions, which can take over your life for months at a time. You also love deeply, with your whole heart, but can become jealous if you don’t receive enough attention. Additionally, you might feel envious of others’ lives or experiences, especially those that you haven’t had the chance to live yourself.

Bacchus in Sagittarius

You're so wild and amazing. You love adventure and always have new ideas for things to do or places to explore. Traveling brings you immense joy, even if it's just a short trip—it fills your soul and helps you feel at peace with yourself. While you enjoy socializing, your social battery drains quickly, and you need time alone to recharge. You can get easily disappointed when those around you don’t share the same excitement or vibe as you when trying something new or visiting a new place, which is why you often prefer to embark on new adventures solo. You love learning new things and are always open to reading, watching a film, or trying an activity just to check it off your list. You’re especially passionate about learning on your own terms, enjoying the freedom to choose what you study, something you disliked as a child when it was forced upon you. Most of the time, you're an optimistic and positive person, but one negative thought or piece of bad news can throw off your mood entirely. Your love for adventure and travel is so strong that you often struggle to feel content in one place or with one person, which can sometimes affect your social life.

Bacchus in Capricorn

Bacchus in Capricorn defines a period of diplomacy and seriousness, where you find joy in achieving professional success in everything you set your mind to. You're a hardworking individual who enjoys always having something to do, especially when it boosts your self-esteem. You feel at your best when you're independent, and simply attaining the reputation you've dreamed of gives you a sense of fulfillment. You enjoy spoiling yourself when you accomplish tasks, which can make you competitive with yourself. However, sometimes you may get too caught up in work, forgetting about other hobbies, and feeling anxious until everything is finished. You tend to push yourself too hard, which can lead to exhaustion or even neglect if you don't achieve what you aimed for. You also have a love for material things, and after working so hard, you like to reward yourself with gifts that bring you pleasure.

Bacchus in Aquarius

You are feeling a deep sense of satisfaction and joy from helping others and being the "hero of the day." With a strong "main character" energy, you feel most fulfilled when you're experiencing unique social situations where you're supporting those around you, which gives you a sense of superiority. You live by the philosophy of "eat the rich" and prefer a simple, wild lifestyle, rebelling against political laws and social norms—not because you're a bad person or break laws for the sake of it, but because you love to challenge the status quo and resist the powers that be. You enjoy bending the rules and living as though each day were your last, feeling the most liberated when you're doing something that has the potential to change the world. You're passionate about volunteering or social work, always offering empathy to those you perceive as more disadvantaged than yourself. You love nature and are not materialistic, finding peace and pleasure in knowing you're a good person at heart. However, this behavior can also lead to negativity. By constantly detaching from social norms and breaking the rules in pursuit of personal satisfaction, you may sometimes find yourself in trouble or at odds with the world around you.

Bacchus in Pisces

Everything related to the spiritual world brings you the greatest pleasure. Having a religion or belief system that feels like home is the most important thing to you, and you're more passionate about other realms and universes than your own day-to-day life. You love the arts and are someone who lives to create in any form. You crave appreciation and always keep yourself busy with something. You're fascinated by magic and everything that comes with it, and you're a big fan of astral travel and guided meditations that take you to other dimensions. You're not very social, but you're deeply attached to the people you love. When you don’t receive the same love in return or feel let down by those people, you tend to withdraw and neglect yourself. For comfort, your passion for the occult serves as an outlet for your mental health, but at the same time, you may use spirituality as a way to escape your social obligations and daily problems, spending more time in your spiritual life than in the real world. From a young age, you’ve been a fan of everything fantasy-related, especially books and movies, and you feel safe in the company of mythical beings like griffins, unicorns, and dragons. Your greatest pleasure comes from evolving in your spiritual journey, and it deeply affects you when obstacles arise that prevent you from living your spiritual life the way you desire.

ASTROLOGY OBSERVATION PART 13

People with a Venus and Ketu (South node) conjunction in their chart often experience suffering through love. Many encounter unrequited love, breakups, or misunderstandings with the person they fall for. However, these individuals are also the ones who tend to attract the most devoted and loyal partners, whose inner beauty is boundless.

Dear @thegodwhocums

Thanks for your question about the Korybantes/Curetes. Now... in traditional Greek mythology and history, these are the dancers/spirits/"shamans" who worshipped Cybele in Phrygia, or Rhea in Samothrace, and who are mentioned in Orphic Hymns #37 and #38. It's not clear to me if they're humans, spirits, deities, or some other class of being in the historical sources.

But I tend to adopt a revivalist (rather than a strict reconstructionist) idea about mythology, myself — I don't live in Greece, after all, or even in Europe; more than that, given the troubles in the world over what constitutes "holy lands" among the Abrahamic religions, I'm reluctant to declare Ireland, England, Scotland, France, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, or Denmark or even Greece as my holy land, anyway -- neither Norse nor Anglo-Saxon nor Celtic deities should hold particular sway over me so much that I think of the land of their origin as a Holy Land, right?

But we have this list, from Cosmas of Jerusalem, I think, which is the deities of the 36 decans in a Greco-Egyptian context. The Decans are the 10° subdivisions of the Zodiac, which have formed the basis of my astrological practice for the last four years, at least publicly. This decans-list has Hecate on it, and Serapis, and Hephaestus, and the Nymphs, and Hestia, and Persephone... but it lacks Zeus and Hera, Demeter or Ares or the other Olympian gods.

Now, because of how the Decans subdivide the sky from 360° into 10° units, the Sun is in one decan for 10 days at a time... -ish. But one decan is coming up over the Eastern horizon roughly every 48 minutes (more in summer, less in winter). Also, the Moon takes a little less than a day to pass through a decan (the Moon moves 12° 53' on average per day), so the Moon passes through all the Decans every 28-ish days. And all the other planets pass through all the decans, too, on their own cycles: Mercury and Venus in a year, Mars in two years, Jupiter in 12 years, and Saturn in 30 years.

So that means that there's a chunk of every day, and a chunk of every month, and a chunk of every year, and a chunk of every 30 years, when each of the deities of the decans has some level of prominence and honor. And I like that.

Now.... the Korybantes. As I said... I'm really reluctant to say, "the Korybantes are samothracian deities, and should be worshipped there." But Scorpio III appears to be dedicated to the Korybantes... and Scorpio I is dedicated to the Nymphai... the 'feminine' spirits of the land. And Scorpio II, in between them, is dedicated to Leto as the mother of the Sun and the Moon (Apollo and Artemis)... but also as "the tutor and bringer-up of children."

And I kind of like the idea of the Mother of Sun and Moon serving in this unusual and powerful role, as the tutor of young gods and goddesses... spirits of the land that are clustered around her on either side. These spirits exist in all kinds of places. They're not tied specifically to the land of Samothrace or Phrygia (an island in the Aegean Sea, or a region in what is now Turkey); but those kinds of spirits, "men" and "women" exist in all sorts of contexts and have all sorts of potential to be future gods and goddesses of some significance and power... and the nominal mother of the Sun and Moon, whether we call her Leto or some other name, has responsibility for their upbringing.

So, yeah... I think that's worth some level of worship and acknowledgement. And whether I acknowledge them in a small way on a day-to-day basis, or annually at this time of year, I think there's power in acknowledging that some parts of nature love human beings and treat us with good will... and some of them will @#I%* us up given the slightest chance. As the Tumblr meme has it, the ocean is old as fuck and it will still kill you.

So I hope that helps.

Sun in Scorpio III (12-22 November 2023)

The Kouroi/Curetes/Korybantes, the 'male' spirits of the more dangerous aspects of the Land, rule the next ten days. How do you relate to the risks of living life on Earth? Do you take the risks, accept them, or avoid them?

The Sun enters Scorpio III on November 12, 2023 at 11:01 am EST. We’ve passed the gate of Daylight Saving Time (falling back one hour), and we’re now in the season of darkness pretty definitively. Austin Coppock called this decan The Crow, relating it both to the constellation Corvus and a myth of how Crow stole the feasting-goblet of the sun-god Apollo and was burned black for his trouble.…

Anyone noticed a correlation between the deities they're drawn to and their zodiac??

I have Sagittarius sun, cancer moon, and Taurus rising. The main deity I work with and have the closest bond with is Brighid who is associated with fire, water, and cattle (all of which correlate with my zodiac)

Anyone else experienced this?

Dear God

Grant me the ability to change things which can be changed & the grace to accept the things which cannot be changed.

Amen

Ἀστραίᾱ (Astraea/Astraia, the Star Maiden),

Greek goddess of justice and innocence. You probably know of her, not by her name, but in her capacity as the constellation Virgo. In mythology, she long lived among humans on earth, but became disallusioned with the corruption and greed that ran rampant and fled back to the heavens. She was then honored in the sky as the aforementioned constellation. She is closely associated and sometimes equated with Dike, of course, but also Nemesis. This shows that she is associated with righteous indignation and the fight against greed and cruelty. She is generally considered to be the daughter of Astraeus and Eos, or sometimes Zeus and Themis.

As a worshipper of hers, I personally see Astraea as a protector of the young and innocent, a comforter and ally of the marginalized and those hurt by the corrupt and unfair, and the patron of activists and protesters. She is a kind and gentle goddess, but a fighter who demands justice for all. When you are downtrodden and broken and you feel that nobody will listen to you, Astraea will. She will listen and tend to your wounds and tell you that she believes you, and she’s so sorry about all of the cruelty you have had to endure, and that you deserve justice and kindness and safety.

When I picture her, I envision sunsets and the comforting feeling of starry nights. I see fire, I see gold, beautiful and soft but strong and resilient. She is the clean feeling of fresh sheets and a shower, she is every color of the sky. She is a reminder that purity does not mean weakness, that innocence does not mean silence and complacence or inability to stand up for oneself, that youth does not mean unintelligence and that optimism does not mean ignorance or naïveté. To be virtuous is not to be utterly disconnected from cruelty, it is to fight against it, to do whatever you need to do to make things better.

It makes me sad that there is so little knowledge of her surviving, that I’ve only actually met 2-3 other people who worship her during my time in online helpol communities. She is such an incredible goddess and she has brought me so much comfort. That’s why I’m making this post. I wanted to share her stories with other people, and I wanted to share the UPG I’ve gathered in the time I’ve spent with her. I’ve been posting my art of her because even if I don’t think it’s perfect I want there to be more about her on the internet, more art to look at, more writing to read. I hope some people read this post and enjoy it and do some research of their own. That would be so lovely.
