The Sun enters Gemini III on 10 June 2025 at 11:24 am EDT, and travels through over the course of ten days, ten hours and 41 minutes. Austin Coppock named this decan The Executioner’s Sword, while T. Susan Chang (noting its associations with the 10 of Swords in the Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot deck, named it Famous Last Words. The card show the bloody victim of a murder with ten blades sticking up out…

So I take Astronomy 101, and it has been very interesting as a demigod. Everyone knows that all the planets except Earth are named after the Roman gods.

But apparently, modern astronomers are determined to keep up with the mythology theme. The planet Jupiter has upwards of 90-95 ish moons that we know of so far. Not all of them are named, but a lot of them that are, are named after obscure figures that even most demigods have never heard of.

For example, Praxidice. Never heard of her before. According to some brief research, she’s the goddess of carrying out justice.

Good to know. Next time something unjust happens, I’ll pray to Praxidice to help me set it straight.

One of the most beautiful (and rarest) of Royal Doulton figurines. Dating from 1913, it's possible that only 5 were ever made. Current selling price ? $26,0000 😲

What do you do 

When your tongue is tied tight, twisted and taped up, 

Red and raw from trying to escape your teeth?

What do you do 

When those you love listen to lies and defend the indefensible

Who hides his deeds in dark corners?

What do you do

When the little power you have is impotent

To save so many from pain that was and pain that is coming?

You call Veritas up from her well to stop up his tongue with truths

(because you would gladly take the lashing for all your little lies to see his exposed)

You call on Persephone to send her Kind Daughters to confront his shattered oaths 

(because your fury is too much for one, and you know it is shared by so many sisters)

You call on Justice to remind him that even hidden actions have consequences 

(because all the suave smiles and helping hands don't negate fear caused and damage done)

You scratch his name and deeds on the lead tablet in your heart, 

Make your offerings of truth and salt and flame and blood.

You dig deep and place it directly into Her hands.

Iron Queen

Exactor of Justice
