icarus, this autumn, doesn't just burn - he falls with the grace of changing leaves. when he transits from fire to earth sign he teaches us how to release our ego and stop overreaching because there is no need to 'stay at the top.' where he falls between the signs in your chart shows where you will be moving through the cycles of rise, fall, and renewal.

in the sagittarius phase: you will feel you are flying high. risk-taking, seeking adventure, and testing limits are the MO. but this can also be where you can overshoot, go too far, and believe you are indestructible. these are the leaves changing their colors.

in the capricorn phase: this is the fall. the reality check. your ego meets structure, and your ambition faces limitations. but here's where "falling with dignity" comes in to play; capricorn knows about learning humility, boundaries, and the art of playing the long game. these are leaves turning brown and brittle - ultimately falling.

1h

sag icarus: you may feel more magnetic, daring, and/or ready to reinvent yourself during this cycle. you wish to shine brighter and take risks with your appearance/presence. you are glowing, but perhaps you are trying to hold onto an identity that's not very sustainable.

cap icarus: the fall brings you back to simplicity and truth. what looked impressive earlier this season falls away, leaving only what's authentic. like bare branches on a tree, you're meant to carry yourself with dignity without adornment. it may be humbling, but also provides clarifying moments.

2h

sag icarus: you might overspend, seek out upgrades, or assume your resources are endless. it's sort of like a tree trying to hold onto too many leaves during this part of the season...

cap icarus: this season demands restraint. reality checks will show you what truly holds value. excess will fall away, but what remains will aid you long-term. start by simplifying your finances and/or reconnecting with your core values.

Daedalus was the infamous creator of the Labyrinth in which the Minotaur dwelt. He was given the task of building the Labyrinth after helping Minos wife have sexual relations with a bull - which lead to the birth of this beast (the Minotaur) that Minos then hid under his court in Crete. The Athenian king was forced to pay tribute to Minos - the cost would be seven men and seven women annually to be sacrificed to the Minotaur. After the Labyrinth was built, Daedalus was kept imprisoned in a tower with one of his sons, Icarus. They were imprisoned as a means to avoid news spreading that the Labyrinth existed. Of course, Daedalus couldn't stand this turn of events and instead created wings by melting together feathers using wax. Which, as we know, does not end well for Icarus who drowns in the sea after ignoring the advice of his father. Daedalus ended up in the court of Cocalus who lived in Sicily. In Sicily, he built a temple for Apollo, whom Daedalus presented his wings to as an offering. Minos, meanwhile, searched for Daedalus and devised a plan to lure him out - he made a riddle and when he discover Cocalus had the qnswer he know he had been harboring Daedalus, he demanded Daedalus to return to Crete. Cocalus told Minos to relax a bit as his guest, then the two could be on their way, but when Minos went to bathe, Cocalus' daughters murdered him. IN MY OPINION Daedalus in your chart can represent a) out of the box thinking, b) creativity/innovation, c) boundaries between your wishfulness to create and morality, d) where you hide or are forced to hide, and/or e) your appreciation for puzzles.

i encourage you to look into the aspects of daedalus along with the sign, degree, and house placement. for the more advanced astrologers, take a look at the persona chart of daedalus AND/OR add the other characters involved to see how they support or impede daedalus!

Icarus was the son of Daedalus, the infamous inventor of Greek mythology (i am sure we can all recall his invention that helped Pasiphae have sex with the Creatan bull? yea? remember that? well same guy lol). As some of you may know, Minos blamed Daedalus for the minotaur's existence then had him create the labyrinth. Later, when Theseus killed the Minotaur with the help of Ariadne, Minos's daughter, who gave Theseus the claw that Daedalus made - Minos was again displeased with Daedalus (the labyrinth was supposed to be inescapable and Theseus escaped WITH HIS DAUGHTER). Minos made Daedalus and Icarus prisoners in one of his palace's tower. Icarus was a young man - restless and wishing to see the world. Daedalus pitied him and wished for an escape himself so he made wings. Daedalus planned that they would fly away from this place and escape Minos. Daedalus's wings were made of feathers and wax - he taught his son to fly and warned him never to fly too close to the sun because the warmth would melt the wax and never too low else the feathers would get too wet and too heavy to fly. Together they leapt from the tower. Icarus had forgotten his fathers warning and flew too high, the sun (because he felt like a god with this invention) began melting the wax. As his wings fell apart, he found himself tumbling through the air and into the sea where he drowned or died on impact. In Ovid's Metamorphoses, this act is often referred as having too much ambition and falling prey to hubris. IN MY OPINION Icarus in your chart can represent a) where you are punished for your father’s wrongdoings, b) where you yearned to be free or travel, c) where in life you should be careful of being to ambitious or of your own hubris, d) your experience with flight, e) where you momentarily feel like a god, and/or f) where you ignore or forget a vital warning.

i encourage you to look into the aspects of icarus along with the sign, degree, and house placement. for the more advanced astrologers, take a look at the persona chart of icarus AND/OR add the other characters involved to see how they support or impede icarus!
