hey nox, thanks so much for the post on demeter, i really appreciate the work that goes into your answers. after seeing your post on priapus, i am wondering if you can help me understand the aspects to priapus in my natal chart? the myths are worrisome tbh but since it's conjunct my sun in the 10th, i feel like i can't avoid thinking about how it might be manifesting for me as a woman. i also know they're not directly related but if it helps provide context, hermes is conjunct my sun exact. here's my chart info if you have time, thanks ~
hello, thank you for your patience and for sending me your chart!! i appreciate the follow up ask with the updated chart, but, considering the information shared in that ask, i decided to respond to this ask only. considering that i don't know how much you would like to share publicly!!
just a note for everyone as well: if you would like to send to me privately your chart, please do so through DMs. if you would like me to NOT post my response on the blog, please tell me that in the ask! i want to do what is most comfortable for you with your question and information; while also allowing others to see aspects discussed because often, you aren't alone in your question! BUT i do not want to make anyone uncomfortable or feel like what they shared with me was publicly shared without consent. AGAIN share charts privately with me if you do not want them posted with the ask AND PLEASE if you do not want your asked shared because of the content of your question, please write in the ask that you would like your ask answered in a dm instead!!
ALSO ALSO you can turn on aspects "to all objects" in order to note which asteroids aspect one another.
on to the ask(s). i do not believe that hestia is a problem for you! in calculating the orb without the aspects between all objects on, i would say your hestia and priapus don't aspect one another. i calculated a 108° (120° is a prefect trine; the orb is at max 10° so that would be 12° and generally i don't see that as a trine) which falls outside of the realm of a trine! the lack of boundaries with a parent may not have much to do with priapus but it could be the priapus-hermes aspect because hermes was his possible father. i generally look at zeus, apollo, and asclepius for troubled parenting :). hestia also did things of her own free will so someone like ganymed - who was basically captured then made to be the cupbearer of the heavens and replaced hebe, the goddess of youth - is a better asteroid to look into.
capricorn priapus (10°, 22°): these people may not have much of a sex life due to lack of being out in the world to find partners or because they experience sexual dysfunction(s) - erectile dysfunction, low sex drive, sexual pain disorder, etc. they often experience depression surrounding sex - could be due to lack of sexual opportunity or lack of desire for sex. there could also be depression or difficulty surrounding origin - you may not feel satisfied with who your father is. you could feel like you are ruined on romance and/or sex because of something that occurred “pre-birth” or pre-adolescence (before periods or before voice change/ball dropping (is that the masculine equivalent lol i am trying)). you could help people who feel dissatisfied with their sex life.
libra priapus (7°, 19°): i am always a bit worried when i seen venus involved with priapus. these people often are a player and/or are emotionally unavailable - they see love and sex as the same thing. they tend to think all there is to a relationship is the sexual component. often they do not commit to a relationship because why have just one person for sex? love for them is sex. often this steams from some moment in their childhood perhaps they were exposed to sexuality at a young age or they had emotional unavailable parents who didn’t really interact with one another in that way. these people may be capable of helping others who are co-dependent in partnerships.
10h priapus: something about your sexual status is known publicly to everyone around you - this makes you both desired and judged. it could also be the case that there is public drama regarding who your father is - he could be someone powerful in the community, it could be that the public doubts he is your father, or it could be about his own sexual status in the community... you may find that any of this existing drama has made it so you have less opportunity in life than others around you - you could be asked for sexual favors in order to climb the ranks or something along those lines. you could however be a great cheerleader to those around you when it comes to reaching their fullest potential.
sun (10h) - priapus (10h): positive aspects: you could discover sexual strength and strength in your own sexuality at some point in life. you may be known somehow as someone who is sexually capable - someone who should be lusted after and/or someone who is sexually confident. you could feel that you overcome a lot of shortcomings and gossip regarding your sexuality. you could help others become comfortable with their sexuality. negative aspects: you could feel like your sexual status holds you back or that sex is what stops you from achieving more... you may feel like your father’s status in the community or his role/lack of role in your life has ruined you from achieving the goals in your life. you may feel you lack confidence in your sexuality. you should always keep tabs on your sexual health and regularly get tested and/or see your doctor.
venus (11h) - priapus (10h): positive aspects: you may find that you have high standards for your romantic life - you should never lower your bar. you may have a weakness for thinking people who act friendly towards you are flirting in actuality... they aren’t. you could be someone who asks “is this okay?” often or you may be someone who does acts of service to show you care. you want everyone to feel safe and cared for around you.
saturn (12h) - priapus (10h): positive aspects: there is nothing wrong with abstinence, despite what others tell you and what the media promotes. do not fall for other people’s manipulations that you should “just do it” or their gaslighting of “you don’t want to be alone forever do you?” because all of that is bullshit. you won’t be alone forever - it is okay to save yourself and/or have high standards. you are someone who needs to be shown diligence, fidelity, a foundation, monogamy, commitment - you will be by the right person. until then it is okay to be "alone," "stiff," or whatever else people may say to you to manipulate you into being sexual active.
priapus (10h) - hermes (10h): positive aspects: at times you may look at their parent(s) - your father - and say with confidence that this is whom they have come from. you could see some similarities in gestures and ambitions. negative aspects: other times you can't help but say you are nothing like your parent(s) - your father. you may even say you would never be so uninvolved or disinterested in your child as your parent(s) may be in you. you may not even know who your father really is.
hope this helps.

Quote
Priapus watches the gardens where Venus walks; though Hecate’s mastiffs howl, Diana, beautifully wrapped in the thin white veil of an illusion, comes down to the groves from heaven to her Endymion.

astro notes pt. v [composite & synastry edition part ii]
ღ taurus stellium is such a glue factor in the composite chart it's found in charts of happily together couples.
ღ mars in the 7th house overlay the mars person wants to get married to the house person right away they see them as marriage material and for some people they will wait until marriage to have sex with the house person.
ღ there are numerous blissfully married couples with south node conjuncting inner planets I think it's a myth that this aspect makes a relationship temporary or short lived.
ღ 8th house overlays are not for everyone particularly if they have an empty 8th house or don't have strong pluto influence/many aspects with pluto they wouldn't like any planets there.
ღ many actors/actresses who meet their spouses on set have 8th house placements in combination with 5th house placements in their composite chart it makes sense cause acting is a talent and a type of transformation.
ღ composite saturn in the 4th house is an indicator of being a small family with one or two children.
ღ moon square uranus in composite means that they are attached to each other because of the absolute freedom they have in the relationship.
ღ composite north node in the 2nd house is the get rich together couple.
ღ composite chiron in the 5th house is an indicator of being parents to an only child.
ღ composite moon opposite juno is found in many childless marriages.
ღ pisces venus in composite chart is so lovely to have the couples that have this are fairytale couples they seem unreal with the amount of love and romance they have with one another.
ღ synastry sun square uranus the more independent the uranus person the more attention they get from the sun person.
ღ in composite the ruler of the 9th house in the 6th house could mean that the couple lead a busy life and travelling for work is like a routine for them.
ღ in composite the ruler of the 1st/10th house in the 8th house people be gossiping about their sex life cause they give the energy of we have a mind blowing sex life die mad about it b*tch hahaha.
ღ many people with aries/1st house placements love to have similar planet houses with their love interest and they like conjunctions and squares in their synastry/composite ex: if they have venus in the 4th house they might be attracted to people with 4th house sun/moon/venus/jupiter plus aspects between the same planets mars conjunct mars, moon square moon etc.
ღ individuals with moon/venus in the 11th house love uranus trine/sextile moon or venus in synastry them being the uranus person it makes them feel loved for their quirkiness.
ღ composite glo [3268] in the 1st/10th house or conjunct ascendant/midheaven lovers with this placement glow like swarovski crystals they catch attention from others immediately the it couple for sure.
ღ aeternitas [446] conjuct/trine/sixtile jupiter in composite is so marvelous. lovers with eternal blessings, ultimate expansion and never ending happiness ahhhh living the dream.
ღ the word fiducia means trust or faith so when we have the asteroid fiducia [380] in the 7th house in composite we get a couple that believes in the relationship and put a lot of trust in each other.
ღ priapus [h22] in the 1st house/conjunct the ascendant listen this is scary af the priapus person is going feral for the the asendant person they want them badly it's crazy it seems like they unlocked a new level of sexuality within them because of the ascendant person on the other hand the ascendant person might get scared by the intensity of the priapus person, although they will feel the attraction too but gradually more and more over time until paaam they are both insane about each other.
ღ sun trine/sextile jupiter double whammy between two lovers is great they are happy when they are around the other person and there is a limitless generosity between them.
ღ I love seeing venus conjunct/square saturn in composite charts cause even if It's difficult to love one another and in a way the world tries to keep you apart but there is faithful love there is no giving up on each other no cheating we love to see it.
ღ in a healthy relationship sun conjunct pluto synastry would be so good the sun person will elevate their self worth and be empowered by the pluto person. the pluto person will find their inner spiritual wealth and they'II end any toxic behaviors to be with the sun person the sun person will take pride in the fact that they had this big imbact on the pluto person seeing them radiant and less heavy energy wise.
ღ composite pluto in the 9th/12th house there will be some kind of spiritual even religious transformation in this relationship someone may change their religion or include some spiritual practices in their life.
ღ lilith [1181]/black moon lilith [h13] conjunct mercury in synastry ufff some heavy sh*t the lilith person is obsessed with the mercury person's mind they want to know them mentally like they want to invade their brain and the mercury person cannot stop thinking of the lilith person they live rent free in their mind the lilith person gets turned on by the mercury person's way of speaking/voice and the mercury person is making sexual fantasies about the lilith person. sexy voice notes and sexting are their cup of tea.
ღ joya [7899] conjunct venus the asteroid person is joyful around the planet person and gets happier by the love they receive from them the planet person is attracted to the asteroid person's gleeful personality and feels loved by the happiness they get from them.

Beltane is mentioned in the earliest Irish literature and is associated with important events in Irish mythology. Also known as Cétshamhain ('first of summer'), it marked the beginning of summer & was when cattle were driven out to the summer pastures. Rituals were performed to protect cattle, people & crops, and to encourage growth. (Today, Witches who observe the Wheel of the Year celebrate Beltane as the height of Spring.)
Special bonfires were kindled, whose flames, smoke & ashes were deemed to have protective powers. The people and their cattle would walk around or between bonfires & sometimes leap over the flames or embers. All household fires would be doused & then re-lit from the Beltane bonfire.
These gatherings would be accompanied by a feast, and some of the food and drink would be offered to the aos sí. Doors, windows, byres and livestock would be decorated with yellow May flowers, perhaps because they evoked fire.
In parts of Ireland, people would make a May Bush: typically a thorn bush or branch decorated with flowers, ribbons, bright shells & rushlights. Holy wells were also visited, while Beltane dew was thought to bring beauty & maintain youthfulness.
• The aos sí (often referred to as spirits or fairies) were thought to be especially active at Beltane. Like Samhain, which lies directly opposite from Beltane on the Wheel of the Year, this was seen as a time when the veil between worlds was at its thinnest. At Samhain the veil between the worlds of the living & the dead is thin enough that we can connect & convene with our beloved dead, here at Beltane it’s the veil between the human world, and the world of faeries & nature spirits that has grown thin. Offerings would be left at the ancient faerie forts, the wells and in other sacred places in an effort to appease these nature spirits to ensure a successful growing season.
Some believe this is when The Goddess is now the Mother & the God is seen as the Green Man or the wild stag. It celebrates the symbolic union, mating or marriage of the Goddess & God & heralds in the coming summer months. It represents life rather than Samhain on the opposite side of the Wheel of the Year.
Other Celebrations:
• Rosealia- May 23rd
Rosalia or Rosaria was a festival of roses celebrated on various dates, primarily in May, but scattered through mid-July. The observance is sometimes called a rosatio ("rose-adornment") or the dies rosationis, "day of rose-adornment," & could be celebrated also with violets. As a commemoration of the dead, the rosatio developed from the custom of placing flowers at burial sites. It was among the extensive private religious practices by means of which the Romans cared for their dead, reflecting the value placed on tradition (mos maiorum, "the way of the ancestors"), family lineage & memorials ranging from simple inscriptions to grand public works. Several dates on the Roman calendar were set aside as public holidays or memorial days devoted to the dead.
Roses had funerary significance in Greece, but were particularly associated with death & entombment among the Romans. In Greece, roses appear on funerary steles & in epitaphs most often of girls. Flowers were traditional symbols of rejuvenation, rebirth &memory, with the red & purple of roses & violets felt to evoke the color of blood as a form of propitiation

DIONYSUS
WHO IS HE?
Dionysus is a god of wine, fertility, theatre, and ecstasy. He is the son of the god Zeus and the mortal Semele, and is often depicted as a youthful and handsome god with a penchant for revelry and indulgence. Dionysus is often associated with wild and untamed nature, as well as with the overturning of social norms and the celebration of primal instincts.
BASIC INFO:
Appearance: Dionysus’ appearance can vary somewhat, but he is often depicted as a handsome, youthful man with long, curly hair and a wreath of grapevines or ivy on his head, symbolizing his association with wine and the theatre. He is often depicted wearing a flowing, loose-fitting himation (a type of cloak) and sometimes carrying a thyrsus, a staff topped with a pinecone that is associated with his role as a god of wine and ecstasy.
Personality: in terms of personality, Dionysus is often seen as a god who is passionate, vivacious, and sometimes unpredictable. He is also seen as a god who is not bound by social norms or conventions, and who is often associated with chaos and the overturning of established order. In his interactions with his devotees, Dionysus is often seen as a figure who encourages his followers to let go of their inhibitions and embrace their primal nature and deepest desires. He is also seen as a god who rewards faith and loyalty and inspires ecstatic experiences and a sense of connection to a higher power.
Symbols: thyrsus, ivy crown, grape vine, theatrical masks, and phallus
God of: wine, drunkenness, parties, wilderness, vegetation, fertility, ritual madness, religious ecstasy, theatre, LGBTQ+ Community, and fruitfulness
Culture: Greek
Plants and trees: grape, ivy, cinnamon, silver fir, bindweed, and figs
Crystals: amethyst, tiger’s eye, serpentine, leopard jasper, amber, green opal, jade, grape agate, rose quartz, garnet, carnelian, and bloodstone
Animals: leopard, tiger, goat, donkey, lion, snake, bull, and panther
Incense: cinnamon, ivy, grape, patchouli, fig, musk, fennel, and frankincense

Children: Priapus, Hymen, Thoas, Staphylus, Oenopion, Tauropolis, Euanthes, Comus, and Phthonus
MISC:
Grapes: Dionysus was often invoked to ensure a bountiful grape harvest and the continued production of wine. Additionally, grapes themselves are often associated with life, fertility, and abundance, which further reinforces Dionysus' connection to them.
Wine: it was an important part of ancient Greek and Roman culture and social life, and was often consumed during religious rituals and festivals. As the god of wine, Dionysus was often invoked to ensure the fertility of the grape harvest and the production of wine.
Ivy: it’s a parasitic plant that wraps itself around other plants and trees, and was seen as a symbol of Dionysus' transformative power and ability to bring forth new life. In addition, ivy was used as decorations for Dionysia rituals and festivals, and was sometimes braided into crowns and wreaths worn by his followers, the bacchants.
Leopard: in Greek and Roman mythology, Dionysus is often depicted as being associated with leopards or having a leopard pelt. Leopards are agile, powerful, and stealthy animals, which may reflect Dionysus' wild and untamed, yet graceful and powerful nature.
Amethyst: according to legend, amethyst was originally white but was stained purple by wine, which was spilled on the stone of a statue of Dionysus. This transformation symbolizes the god's ability to turn something ordinary into something extraordinary, as well as his association with wine and the intoxicating effects of intoxication. In some interpretations, amethyst is also seen as a stone with protective and spiritual properties, which may be why it is often associated with Dionysus' divine power.
Theatre: Dionysus is often associated with theatre and the performing arts. He is the god of the theater and is believed to have transformed the tragedy and the comedy into the two main categories of the art, with his followers creating the first theatre plays. In the city-state of Athens, the theater was a major cultural institution and was often dedicated to Dionysus, with the theatre season beginning with the Dionysia, a festival in honour of the god.
LGBTQ+: in ancient Greece, Dionysus was worshipped as a god associated with liminality and the transformation of identities. This aspect of his cult is sometimes interpreted as a reflection of the acceptance and inclusion of LGBTQ+ identities, who, like the god, transgressed and challenged societal norms and expectations. Many followers of Dionysus, regardless of their sexual orientation, were known for their wild and ecstatic behavior, and for transcending societal boundaries. This has led to some modern practitioners of his cult to use him as a symbol of queer liberation and acceptance. Dionysus has also had both men and women as lovers
FACTS ABOUT DIONYSUS:
He’s honoured in fertility and harvest rituals.
The maenads, the female followers of Dionysus, were known for their wild and ecstatic behavior, often indulging in drunken revelries, singing, and dancing.
The satyrs, the male companions of Dionysus, were often depicted as half-man, half-beast creatures with goat-like features, who were known for their sexual prowess and lasciviousness.
Sometimes he is referred to as Bacchus in the Roman pantheon.
The cult of Dionysus was one of the most important cults in the ancient world, and was associated with mystery and initiation rituals.
Dionysus was born twice, first as the son of Zeus and the mortal woman Semele, and then later, when Zeus sewed Dionysus into his thigh to protect him from Hera's wrath.
According to The Bacchae by the Greek playwright Euripides, the hero King Pentheus of Thebes opposed the introduction of Dionysian rituals and was torn apart by his own mother and aunts in a Bacchic frenzy.
HOW TO INVOKE DIONYSUS:
Set up an altar dedicated to Dionysus, and place offerings of wine, grapes, or other items that are symbolic of his domain on it, light a candle and some incense, and say a prayer or invocation to call upon Dionysus, close your eyes and enter into a meditative state, and focus on connecting with Dionysus. When you feel that you have established a connection, ask Dionysus for guidance or assistance, and wait for a response.
PRAYER FOR DIONYSUS:
“Dionysus, god whose arrival is swift and certain, enduring friend of women and men whose welcome is warm, bringer of light, we see you in shadows. Dionysus, granter of great blessings, your presence is a heady wine.”
“Kind hearted god, to each you give as is fitting, each vessel you fill only as we can bear, and yet with even a sip, we are drunk upon you, and our faith is affirmed. Awesome god, but our own will we drink deeply, with you we become lost, we wander, we are found. Hail to you, Lord Dionysus.”
SIGNS THAT DIONYSUS IS CALLING YOU:
Having recurring dreams or visions of Dionysus or his imagery, such as grapevines, ivy, or wild animals.
Unexplainable desires for wine or other intoxicating substances, or a pull towards the arts and creativity.
Experiencing sudden and unexplainable changes in your mental state or mood, such as feeling a strong sense of ecstasy or passion.

Beltane Masterpost - Spoonie Witch Friendly
Beltane, also called Bealtaine or May Day is celebrated on May 1st in the Northern Hemisphere (November 1st in the Southern Hemisphere). However, some people choose to celebrate the exact halfway point between the Spring Equinox and Summer Solstice.
Beltane is a Gaelic May Day festival. It is traditionally celebrated once the sun sets on April 30th in the Northern Hemisphere (October 31st in the Southern Hemisphere) and continues on until sunset on May 1st.
With Beltane we celebrate fire, fertility and the return of life after its long slumber. Beltane is associated with creativity, prosperity, hope, fertility, and sexuality.

Venus
In Roman mythology, Venus was the goddess of love, sex, beauty, and fertility. She was the Roman counterpart to the Greek goddess Aphrodite. However, Roman Venus had many abilities beyond the Greek Aphrodite; she was a goddess of victory, fertility, and even prostitution. According to Greek mythology, as presented in Hesiod's Theogony, Aphrodite was born of the foam from the sea after Saturn (Cronus) castrated his father Uranus (Ouranos) and his blood fell to the sea. This latter explanation appears to be more a popular theory due to the countless artworks depicting Venus rising from the sea in a clam.
Divine Lovers & Children
Venus had two main divine lovers: her husband Vulcan (Hephaistos) and Mars (Ares). There is a myth concerning Venus' and Mars' love affair and how Vulcan cunningly trapped them in bed with a net. Therefore, Vulcan and Venus had a loveless marriage and no children. Albeit, the goddess of love and sex was not barren; she had many children from different gods. With Mars, she gave birth to Timor (Phobos) the personification of fear who accompanied his father into battle, his twin Metus (Deimos) the personification of terror, Concordia (Harmonia) the goddess of harmony and concord, and the Cupids (Erotes) who were a collection of winged love deities who represented the different aspects of love.
The Roman poet Ovid recounts that Aphrodite bore Hermaphroditos by Hermes, who was the epitome of effeminacy and androgyny. She also bore with either Hermes or Zeus, Fortuna (Tyche) who was the personification of luck and fate within Roman religion. Venus is ascribed as the mother of the minor deity Priapus (a fertility god often characterized with an absurdly large phallus) by Bacchus. According to Pausanias, the Graces were thought to be the offspring of Venus and Bacchus, but more commonly their birth is credited to Jupiter and Eurynome. However, the Graces were part of Venus' retinue along with the Cupids and Suadela, the goddess of persuasion in the realms of romance, love, and seduction.

The Romans thought that the Norse worshipped Mercury who they thought was the same as Odin. Which makes sense because of their domains and trickster antics.
They identified Thor and Tyr with Hercules/Jupiter and Mars. The Romans said they worshipped Isis but that could be literally any female deity but the best guess is either Frigg or Freya. I personally associate Frigg with Juno, Freya with Venus and Freyr with Priapus
All in all I would say the big difference between these pantheons is "X is the god of Y"
The Norse gods were just gods and didn't seem to have super strict and fixed domains compared to the Graeco-Roman pantheon (Well even gods were still a bit loose with their domains) but one would be more likely to pray to the Vanir for fertility than the Aesir but it doesn't mean you can't ask the Aesir for that. Basically just know with the Norse pantheon, there are no boxes. The Jotunn aren't "giants" and don't seem to be that physically different from the Aesir and Vanir - they're just a different group of gods.
The Norse pantheon can't be easily labled and categorized and we don't have as much information about them compared to the Graeco-Roman pantheon. I guess there aren't so many similarities
thank you!
