For Asklepia, a lovely print of Asclepius defending a patient by removing Death from a tent:
by Daniel Chodowiecki, 1792
This family line is so funny to me either the hair genes keep skipping a generation or Asclepius and Hygeia both have their grandpa do their hair TT.TT
I know Apollo descended like a hawk on that child once Asclepius told him he had a girl like ‘YOU HAVE NEVER EVEN LET ME SHAVE YOUR BEARD HAND OVER THE HAIRBRUSH’
Detail: statue of goddess Hygeia, Feneos, Greece, ca. 4th century BCE

✨ Asteroid Hygiea (10)✨
Hello everyone! This post is about Hygiea and her influence in the natal chart! Her asteroid number on astro.com is 10. Hope you enjoy reading this post :)
✨ Hygiea ✨
In Greek mythology, Hygiea was the goddess of health, cleanliness, and hygiene, the daughter of Asclepius, god of medicine. She symbolized preventive care, balance, and the preservation of wellbeing. While Asclepius was associated with curing illness, Hygiea focused on maintaining health—body, mind, and spirit.
Astrologically, Hygiea represents themes of health, balance, cleansing, and preventive action. She shows where we must care for ourselves and others, how we purify or restore balance, and where healing energy flows naturally. Hygiea’s placement in the natal chart can indicate our relationship with wellness, how we maintain harmony, and where purification—physical, emotional, or spiritual—becomes a key theme.
On a deeper level, Hygiea also points to rituals, habits, and practices that keep us aligned. She reflects the wisdom of prevention: honoring cycles of rest, renewal, and cleansing before imbalance turns into crisis.
✨Hygiea through the Signs ✨
Praise be to Lord Asklepios - Blessed Asklepia to All!
Homeric Hymn 16 to Asclepius
"I begin to sing of Asklepios, son of Apollon and healer of sicknesses. In the Dotian plain fair Koronis, daughter of King Phlegyas, bare him, a great joy to men, a soother of cruel pangs. and so hail to you, lord: in my song I make my prayer to thee!"
Orphic Hymn 67 to Asclepius
"To Asklepios, Fumigation from Manna. Great Asklepios, skilled to heal mankind, all-ruling Paian, and physician kind; whose arts medicinal can alone assuage diseases dire, and stop their dreadful rage. Strong, lenient God, regard my suppliant prayer, bring gentle health, adorned with lovely hair; convey the means of mitigating pain, and raging deadly pestilence restrain. O power all-flourishing, abundant, bright, Apollon's honoured offspring, God of light; husband of blameless Hygeia, the constant foe of dread disease, the minister of woe: come, blessed saviour, human health defend, and to the mortal life afford a prosperous end."
*Found this cross-stitch pattern via Reddit (link) and I just had to make it for Asklepia this year!
