Sif is best known as the wife of Thor. Her most famous myth begins when the trickster god, Loki, cuts off her long golden hair while she sleeps, enraging Thor and then forcing Loki to find a way to repair the damage. Loki travels to the dwarves, master craftsmen of the Norse world, who forge magical golden hair that grows like real hair once placed on Sif's head. Sif's golden hair is often interpreted as symbolic of golden wheat fields, linking her to abundance, nourishment, and the cycles of nature. IN MY OPINION Sif in a chart can represent a) restoration, b) resilience, and/or c) feminine power.

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

working well together in synastry and composite

i'm going to work off of what i already have posted (no asteroids discussed after this post will be included or added after the fact). finally, i would like to state that NO TWO CHARTS ARE THE SAME. what i am about to list out does not mean you will for sure need these exact things (or all of these things) to be shy, nervous, and/or anxious around one another. if you don't understand my thought process, feel free to dm me with questions!

libra (7°, 19°) or aquarius (11°, 23°) venus/mars and/or 7h libra (7°, 19°) or aquarius (11°, 23°)

these two can be partners in crime and great colleagues; very little gets in the way of them accomplishing a task. they have a sort of dance they do when working together - they don't need to communicate to get the work done.

7h venus

this is great if you guys work together long term - it is like having a co-ownership at a business or partnership at the same firm. venus person loves 7h person and 7h person looks at venus person as if they are their true equal.

11h libra (7°, 19°) or aquarius (11°, 23°)

this is just very easy alliance and partnership. these two cooperate well with one another.

11h venus

these are allies - it is a ride-or-die connection that these two have it is very rare that either person will turn against each other. venus person will treat 11h person as their only friend, while 11h person will be extremely loyal and wishes to help the venus person to be the best version of themselves possible.

11h neptune

this is one of those unlikely alliances that just end up working well together. neptune person sees 11h person's vision and wants to help them come true, while 11h person sees the beauty in idealist and optimistic neptune person.

11h uranus

these people are unstoppable; they will do whatever it takes to make it happen. 11h person see eye to eye with innovative uranus person. uranus person likes that 11h person is great at having the connections it takes to move their projects forward.

armstrong (asteroid 6469) positively aspecting aldrin (asteroid 6470)

these two can go where no one has before - they are willing to do what people have never attempted before. armstrong person relies on aldrin person to be the brains of the operation, while aldrin person relies on the armstrong person to do the heavily lifting. together they are comfortable trying new and improbable things.

donar (2176) / thora (299) positively aspecting loke (4862)

these two will attempt to fool the world around them. donor/thora person is often talked into something silly/foolish by loke person. loke person is the mastermind of the project, while donor/thora person is the muscle power to make it happen.

prometheus (1809) positively aspecting athene (881) / pallas (2)

together these two can create something amazing. prometheus person creates the bare bones of their project, while athene/pallas person breaths life into it and gives it character.

vergilius (asteroid 2798) positively aspecting dante (asteroid 2999)

vergilius person will protect dante person at all costs. vergilius person is a sort of guide, confidant, and sage for dante person. dante person looks up to and greatly appreciates vergilius person. together they can traverse even the most difficult terrains.

Jörmungandr is the son of the god Loki and the giantess Angrboða. Jörmungandr and his siblings, Hel and Fenrir, were living in Jotunheim when a prophecy was brought forth to Odin that one of the children of Loki would cause devastation in the future. With this knowledge Odin ordered that they be removed from the enemy land of the giants while they were young; Jörmungandr was hurled into the sea by Odin, Odin had hoped that the ocean would destroy the serpent. Jörmungandr grew to be an extremely large serpent as he consumed the sea - he was so large that he could encircle the entire world. Jörmungandr is often thought of as the original ouroboros. Jörmungandr is considered the archenemy of Thor. Thor's hatred of the creature stems from a myth in which Thor and company visited the land of the giants - the gods came to the gates of a castle but could not open the gates. The bars were luckily widely spaced in the land of the giants, so they were able to slip in - the king of the castle was put off by their unexpected arrival and said to them if they wanted hospitality, they would have to complete three tasks. Lift the king's cat from the ground - Thor was incapable of completing the task, he was only capable of lifting a paw from the ground. The next task was to drink the entirety of the castle's drinking horn - Thor who normally could handle his drink was not capable of completing this task again. Thor was irate and demanded that he fight one of the king's fiercest warriors as the final task. The king stated he could fight the castle's nurse who was an old woman - he failed this task too. The king confessed to them that he had used magic to trick the gods: the cat was Jörmungandr who Thor nearly pulled from the ocean, the horn was linked to the ocean and Thor nearly drained the ocean, and the old woman was actually the personification of age which no one has ever beaten. Thor was angered by this and went to swing at the king, but the king and his castle disappeared; from then on the king and Jörmungandr were considered enemies of Thor. Some believe this king was Loki in disguise who was attempting to free his son from his confinement. In one myth recounted in Prose Edda, Thor fishes for the serpent and fails to pull him up and kill him. During Ragnarök all three of Loki's children would join the chaos and battle against the gods - Jörmungandr would be killed by Thor at this battle, but Thor is thought to have died from one of Jörmungandr's poisonous bite. IN MY OPINION Jörmungandr in a chart can symbolize a) unknown and unexpected transformation, b) where you are large than most things, c) where people constantly try to end you, d) your connection to the ocean, and/or e) how banishment changes you.

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

i love me some odin. odin happens to be one of my deities :) around 2016 is when i learned this. after a tarot reading and a flock of crows was on the power line waiting for me after school is when i figured it out symbolically.

sometimes i get dms about deities here - whether it is if i can tell their story or how you can get confirmation with astrology are the typical questions. this is when i will tell ya'll i am an astrology tumblr first and foremost - if your deity has an asteroid, i will certainly add them to my list of asteroids to talk about if not than apologies but i won’t be sharing the myth here. but also an interesting question i receive: how can you get confirmation about a deity in astrology? i look at persona charts for confirmation - deities that tend to reach out to you without you reaching out to them first tend to have two stelliums in your persona chart for their asteroid. asmodeus did not reach out to me but odin, morpheus, pluto, and sigyn did. asmodeus has only one stellium while all my other dieties have two! if anyone would like me to talk more about my experience with my deities their involvement in my life, how i give to them, or any of those types of things i would be happy to share just let me know.

* having no stellium doesn’t mean they aren’t your deity. deity work and worship is more so about what you do for them and sometimes they give back to you. it’s never guaranteed that you receive anything from deities! *

but I am sure you all saw our favorite thing in the world in astrology - two asteroids, one god (no relation to the cup thing from 2014). odin has two other popular names used in reference to him: wotan and wodan. the old norse is òðinn, woden is the old english, and wotan is the old high german. check out my thor post if you are interested in the evolution of language. long story short we are always evolving so who knows the sounds and the way "odin" is currently spelt may change in the future. but i never want to pigeon hole anyone into just one option when there are many - so you pick which asteroid to use. 3989 or 2155 or both :).

“when talking about such a popular god or goddess i am going to for warn paraphrasing - of course all these stories have more details and all these popular gods have stories within stories. i would love to share them all/in detail but i would need a book and a lot more time to write it. my attempt in writing these posts are to inform you on the high level story of the god’s or goddess’s life. that being said if any one of the events regaled in the post pique you interest - please let me know i don’t mind giving a more in-depth tale of any of the events mentioned.”

now on to odin.

Odin is often depicted as the leader Aesir who has one eye and a long beard. Oftentimes, Odin is illustrated as someone with quite a few animal familiars: wolves, ravens, and even the eight-legged horse mentioned in Loki's post, Sleipnir. Oðr is the Old Norse word for fury, passion, and inspiration - his name translates to the man of rage and passion. This is very fitting for his archetype as the powerful king of Valhalla. Odin is often thought to be the son of a frost jötnar, Bestla, and Borr, who is rather obscure in the histories. What is known is that Odin and his brothers killed a rather important giant named Ymir. The blood of Ymir was thought to have drowned all the giants but two (who eventually repopulated) with his blood. Ymir's flesh was then used to make the earth, his bones to make mountains, his skull to make the sky, etc. Odin and his brothers then set about creating the beings who lived in this new world (see the Ask and Embla post to read that myth). Odin and his brothers also created Asgard, shortly after that he married Frigg. Odin has quite a few famous children with other women like Thor. Odin often comes to earth in the form of a wise old man to test the humans for hospitality and he sends his crows to collect wisdom. This hunger for knowledge, wisdom, and worldliness are not new for Odin. There are many stories in which he hangs himself for knowledge - essentially sacrificing himself for enlightenment. One of the most popular stories of his quests for knowledge is the same story that explains how Odin lost his eye. Odin had traveled into the root system of the World Tree - home to Mimir's well. Odin asked Mimir if he could drink from the well and Mimir told him not without sacrifice. Odin debated this and agreed to Mimir's terms - Mimir filled a horn for him. Odin drank it and saw the future of both human and godly challenges that would eventually occur. Once Odin had finished his drink, he plucked his right eye out and handed it to Mimir who placed it in the well. IN MY OPINION Odin represents a) where and how you create, b) your relationship with animals or what kind of familiar you should have, c) where you appear powerful without needing to assert yourself, d) where, what, and why you are willing to sacrifice everything, and/or e) your views on knowledge and wisdom.

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

return to nox's hypotheses

Dr. Crawford explains it best that over time language evolves. this is why i have three names listed up there: thor, thora, and donar. these are all the same god - just different dialects of the god's name. when talking about greek gods there tends to be overlap in roman gods - some even have similar mythology. but when speaking about viking mythology or norse myth, it is important to remember that raiding was part of their culture. often the vikings would settle in different places that weren't norway, sweden, or denmark. when they settled in different locations, their dialect changed. we see this in many different languages; people laugh when "ye old" is used or "thou art" but that is a perfect example as to what i am getting at. ye and thou are the same, in that they use a character that no longer exists called thorn. thorn (þ) was essentially the TH - hence why thou became you and ye became the. modern pronunciation dictated what words became. thorn was use in old english (thou kneweth this) but it was also popular in old norse language. which brings us back to the three names of thor. the old norse word thor is spelled þórr but when settling in northern europe, old high german made þórr into donar (this asteroid was discovered in San Diego in 1960). while the thora asteroid was discovered by a man in Vienna in 1890 - hence all these different names listed above. i will leave it to you on picking which to use (or use both). i simply wanted to let you know that some of the asteroid gods and goddesses that i will talk about have multiple names and some have multiple asteroids associated with them. i definitely don't mind explaining why like this because it does tend to help people better understand what's happening with myth and language as we continue this journey. it can also help you to discern preferences - maybe you'll want to use thora because it was discovered first or maybe you'll want to use donar because thor's name is commonly connected to that germanic translation.

BUT “when talking about such a popular god or goddess i am going to for warn paraphrasing - of course all these stories have more details and all these popular gods have stories within stories. i would love to share them all/in detail but i would need a book and a lot more time to write it. my attempt in writing these posts is to inform you on the high level story of the god’s or goddess’s life. that being said if any one of the events regaled in the post pique you interest - please let me know i don’t mind giving a more in-depth tale of any of the events mentioned.”

while telling the myth, i will just be using thor.

Thor is the god most heroes aspired to be in Norse myth - he ranks amongst the fiercest warrior deities as the god of thunder. Thor is the son of Odin - the leader of Aesir - and the giantess Jord. One of the most popular myths associated with Thor is Mjölnir, his hammer, and how he got it. The hammer’s origin starts with a trick Loki played on Sif, Thor’s wife, by cutting off her hair (because hair was important for women as a sign of femininity). Thor threatened to break every bone in Loki’s body if he didn’t fix this. So Loki travelled to the underground world of the dwarves, Svartalfheim, to ask the master builders to craft Sif a new head of hair. The sons of Ivaldi crafted her new hair but Loki saw the opportunity to cause some chaos and gain more in the process - he taunted another set of brothers, Brokkr and Sindri, telling them that they would never craft something as perfect as the brothers Ivaldi have. The brothers then competed amongst themselves, between the two there was the magical rings - Draupnir, the golden haired boar - Gullinbursti, and the hammer - Mjölnir… Loki smiled and claimed the hammer the winner - so the dwarfish brothers gifted it and the other objects to Loki for the other gods could judge them as well. Loki came back to Asgard with the helm of hair for Sif and the hammer for Thor. So the two made up - there are plenty of stories that two are friends (the two dressing as Freya and her servant) and others where they are mortal enemies. Thor is also known for battles against the jötnars, giants (notably Hrungnir), trolls - but his greatest enemy was Jörmungandr, the sea serpent (who he bludgeoned with Mjölnir during his hunt for the serpent in Midgard). They’d meet again during Ragnarök, where the two would fight, Thor would be bitten, he’d kill the serpent, then succumbed to his injuries… IN MY OPINION Thor in a chart represents a) where you present the most ferocious, b) where you may be seen as intimidating, c) how and where you receive gifts, and/or d) how and where you protect others from danger.

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

OTHER RELATED ASTEROIDS: freia (72), jormungandr (471926), loke (4862), mjolnir (85585), odin (3989), sif (4484), and wodan (2155)!
