#asteroid 1027

I am finally in the recovery stage of my health issues and can slowly get back to normal, so here I am with the final in my three part series on some medical related asteroids. Again, same as the other two times, this is my disclaimer that this post is not intended to be medical advice and you should consult a doctor if you have any medical concerns.

Asclepius is a god in Greek (and later Roman) mythology, with most of his worship centering on the Cult of Asclepius. He is most commonly described as the son of Apollo and Coronis, though sometimes of Apollo and Arsinoe or just Apollo. According to most versions of the story, Coronis cheated on Apollo with the mortal Ischys and either Apollo or Artemis killed her and cut Asclepius out of the womb (cesarean baby). Apollo then gave baby Asclepius to the centaur Chiron who trained him in the art of medicine. Asclepius eventually surpassed his teacher and his father and was granted secret knowledge of medicine when a snake licked his ear. He was eventually killed by Zeus due to how good he was at healing or bringing people back from the dead - honestly this part has a lot of variations but the main thread is that because of Asclepius’ medicine the natural order is messed up so Zeus kills him. Apollo is enraged by this and kills the Cyclopes who made Zeus' lighting bolt which leads into a whole different story but Zeus eventually did resurrect Asclepius and made him a god. There are very few vase paintings of Asclepius that have been found, however there have been many statues - where his resemblance to his paternal grandfather Zeus is often noted - and unsurprisingly he does feature in the Hippocratic Oath.

The asteroid Aesculapia was discovered by George van Biesbroeck on the 11th of November, 1923 in Wisconsin, USA. At the time, astronomers were still using the traditional naming system that main-belt bodies were to have female names and those with less standard orbits male, hence why the asteroid is given a female name and asteroid 4581 is named Asclepius once the convention became was thrown out. The asteroid takes roughly 2,044 days to travel around the zodiac, spending roughly 170 days in each sign.

Hello, I'm back again with another sample post. Honestly though, I swear I didn't intend for these to be in a kind of astrological order, but it seems like that will be the case. If you want to learn more about Aesculapia, check out my original post on the asteroid here.

I use keywords to initially interpret a placement, which I will be doing here below. I will also be doing a more in depth interpretation of what Aesculapia means for each twin individually, but before I can do that I get all the keywords written down and a very basic initial interpretation formed, which yes, can mean somethings here might contradict other parts that I will rectify later.

The matters ruled by Aesculapia: native’s holistic health, dealings with those in medical professions, and anything to do with the health system (if it is related to health, it has ties to Aesculapia).

Aesculapia in the sign of Sagittarius means someone is philosophical, explorative, optimistic, honest, lazy, careless, and moral in matters ruled by Aesculapia.

Aesculapia in the house of Fourth House of Home means that matters of Aesculapia’s influence is most strongly felt in the areas of domestic life, household, youth, origins, ancestry, and security.

Aesculapia making a semi-square with Venus means a great deal of friction and minor irritations in matters ruled by Aesculapia though there is very little awareness or concern of these issues due to matters within the domain of Venus (love, relationships, aesthetics, social nature, comforts, and femininity).

Aesculapia making a sextile with Saturn means an easy realisation of goals and strong hidden talents in matters ruled by Aesculapia thanks to the help of Saturn's influence (discipline, limitation, duty, reality, excellence, endurance, caution).

Aesculapia making a square with the Ascendant means heightened tensions that causes difficult problems and challenges to arise in matters ruled by Aesculapia due to the matters ruled by the Ascendant (appearance, motivation, others’ perception).

Aesculapia is in the degree symbolised by Death, which means a miser, sacrificing self for superficial gain, and a delight of slaughter and carnage if they gain something in matters ruled by Aesculapia.

There actually isn't really any difference in the twin's charts when it comes to Aesculapia, the only difference is the tightness of the aspect with the Ascendant (it slightly tighter with Philip than Rebecca, but the aspect is still there). However, I am going to keep their interpretations separate as I am more used to writing for one at a time rather than for two, but it will be essentially the exact same as Aesculapia in their charts in almost the exact same.

Aesculapia for Rebecca

Rebecca is a Sagittarian Aesculapian, born when the asteroid of Aesculapia was in the sign of the archer and is located within her fourth house. This means that she is someone who is explorative and honest when it comes to dealing with any health issues, willing to try a variety of methods and listen to ideas in order to see what works. Her dealings with medical professionals played a significant part of her younger years and she is optimistic in how she handles them. She can though be incredibly lazy in doing what she should in order to best take care of herself to the point of carelessness. There is also a tendency to destroy herself and others for the pursuit of what she believes is the ideal image of health.

Rebecca's Aesculapia forms aspects with three different points within her chart: Venus, Saturn, and her Ascendant, which means that the themes of these three points influences how Rebecca’s Aesculapia behaves with the other elements of her life. There is a sense of duty when it comes to how she views her health which allow her to maintain it with relative ease and has a strong endurance for dealing with any medical issues that may arise. However, she will have difficult challenges with medical professionals due to their initial presumptions about her, quite possibly impacting the type of care she can receive. There are also a lot of minor annoyances and irritations that will come about in her health, though she will have trouble recognising them for what they are due to the influence of her relationships - especially romantic ones.

Aesculapia for Philip

Philip is a Sagittarian Aesculapian, born when the asteroid of Aesculapia was in the sign of the archer and is located within his fourth house. This means that he is someone who is explorative and honest when it comes to dealing with any health issues, willing to try a variety of methods and listen to ideas in order to see what works. His dealings with medical professionals played a significant part of his younger years and he is optimistic in how he handles them. He can though be incredibly lazy in doing what he should in order to best take care of himself to the point of carelessness. There is also a tendency to destroy himself and others for the pursuit of what he believes is the ideal image of health.
