#asteroid 81

-(with no intent to fear monger at all) BOY can a Scorpio asc lunar return give u something to cry about 😖. Ofc aspects matter (cuz I had quite a few squares to my asc) but it really makes you address anything you’ve suppressed emotionally prior to that point.

also, this asc may make you extra emotionally unstable/emotional if you happen to begin your menstrual cycle near this time. like the extremes of emotional turbulence wasn’t like any other that I’ve experienced upon beginning and during my period.

DESPITE all of those things, I learned a great deal in so facets of my life, which is a win (regardless tho I’m sooo glad that this lunar period is about to end 😭🙏🏼)

-next, and somewhat on a more positive note, any asteroids like tightly conjunct the asc (probs 0-2 degrees orb, tho I’d really pay attention to more so 0 degrees orb or 1), are certainly going to manifest in some way shape or form during the return period. more often than not, it’ll probably be a major or major-Ish event to u.

i.e., one of my years in high school (I went to a performing arts hs btw), I auditioned to see if I’d be able to get into the highest level ballet class for the following year. I ended up getting in, but it was such a shock to me bcuz I had only really began taking ballet the summer prior to the school year, which was less than like ~7 months ish (but ofc prior dance experience for 5 yrs in other classes helped 🌚). for the particular lunar return I was in, I had asteroid Terpsichore (81) exactly conjunct my asc.

-transits over the vertex point certainly activate whatever themes of the sign and house it is in in your life like IMMEDIATELY, or at least for the following days or so of the transit (helllpp, mine is in Aquarius 😓)

-oki last point, (and this is more lady related), but I think early development (physically) within people can relate to having Saturn in the 1st house (rx or direct), especially/more so aspecting Venus…pls let me know if anyone can attest to this

I'm almost at the end of this series, after which I will probably decide to do some more asteroid sample posts like the one I did a few days ago. For now though, enjoy this post about the second-last asteroid named after one of the muses.

Terpsichore is a goddess in Greek (and later Roman) mythology, described as being one of the nine muses. She is the daughter of Zeus and Mnemosyne and is sometimes listed as an alternate mother to the Sirens (as opposed to Melpomone) and Linus (as opposed to Calliope). Terpsichore is regarded as the Muse of Choral Song and the Muse of Dance. She is commonly portrayed as sitting down, holding a lyre to accompany the dancers with music and a plectrum.

The asteroid Terpsichore was discovered by Wilhelm Tempel on the 30th of September, 1864 in Marseille, France. The main setting for the Sci-Fi story The Dark Colony is on a space station orbiting this asteroid. The asteroid takes roughly 1,762 days to travel around the zodiac, spending roughly 147 days in each sign.
