How are you? I hope you're fine

Could you talk about Peitho 118? if you haven't made any posts related to this. I think she named after one of Aphrodite's companion Peitho? So, I'm curious about this goddess and her role in astrology too

Thank you, have a nice day 💜💜

peitho, goddess of persuasion (asteroid 118)

The origin of Peitho is rather unclear in the classics - she doesn't originate from Homer or Ovid. Hesiod only briefly mentions her. It was Sappho who gave her a bit of definition and shape. Sappho stated that Peitho was an attendant of Aphrodite; she held the secret to divine love and thusly knew how to persuade and seduce someone. Some say that she was the one who married the tragic lovers Cadmus and Harmonia... Frequently, she is depicted in art at the weddings of significant lovers like Dionysus and Ariadne, Thetis and Peleus, Aphrodite and Adonis, etc. Infamously, Peitho was at the abduction of Helen by Paris because her divine magic was needed for Paris to convince Helen to leave with him per the promise of Aphrodite. IN MY OPINION Peitho in your chart can indicate a) where your origin is unclear, b) where you facilitate romances for others, c) where you convince couples to stay together, and/or d) your abilities to romantically persuade others and seduce them.

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

Son of King Minos and Pasiphae, Androgeus was the brother of Ariadne. He was one of the competitors of the first Panathenaic Games, famously known for its athletics/cultural events. It is Androgeus's death that is most interesting - in some versions, he his killed during the games by his rivals, but in others, he is sent by King Aegeus to confront the Marathonian Bull. In the bull version, he is ran though with one of the bull's horns and bleeds out. Whether he is murderer by his competition or a raging bull, Androgeus's death is blamed on the Athenians - Minos sends an army and a naval fleet to avenge his son. When the Athenians begin to lose to the Cretes, they consult an oracle who tells them to pay tribute to Crete. Every year hence, the Athens sent seven men and seven women to Minos who then sent these people into the labyrinth to face the Minotaur. IN MY OPINION Androgeos in your chart can represent a) how you represent your country / nationalism, b) what/who is out to get you, c) how others avenge you, and/or d) where terrible things that happen to you is just the inciting incident for worse things to come.

Daughter of Pasiphae and the Cretan king Minos, Ariadne was most known for her role in the myth of Theseus with whom she feel in love. Theseus was one of the many heroes who Minos meant to abandon in the Labyrinth with the Minotaur. But Theseus was a rarity in the Labyrinth as he volunteered to be sent in and kill the beast. Ariadne provided him with what he required as she was lovestruck by the hero. Theseus was capable of slaying the Minotaur with the sword she gave him and with a golden ball of thread, he found his way out of the Labyrinth. After this point in the myth, there are two popular endings: in one she hangs herself after Theseus abandons her, and in the second Theseus takes her to the island of Naxos and leaves her there to die. In the both versions, she is recused by and ends up marrying Dionysus. IN MY OPINION Ariadne in your chart represents a) where you give everything you have, b) what you lose when facing romantic rejection, c) where you easily fall in love, and/or d) where you must first face rejection in order to find love.
