#priapus

Imagine having to keep a straight face, when I, the Extrovert Friend™, order:

"A small Adonis, two regular Oceanus-es (??) and...

an extra-large Priapus."

In astrology, when a man’s Priapus forms a conjunction with a woman’s Ascendant, it indicates an intense, magnetically charged connection where the man projects an overwhelming physical and sexual attraction toward how the woman carries herself.

Instantaneous Magnetism Priapus the astrological counterpart to Black Moon Lilith represents raw, instinctual desire and fertility. When it sits on the woman's Ascendant (the face she shows to the world), the man is instantly captivated by her physical presentation, personality, and aesthetic.

The Uncontrollable Urge This connection often triggers a deep, almost primal desire to merge completely. The man will likely view the woman as an ideal or irresistible partner, frequently obsessing over her vibe or aura.

Projection of Magnetism The woman may find that the man views her as uncontrollably seductive, whether she intends to project that energy or not. The chemistry between the two is incredibly potent, often making it difficult for either to stay away from the other.

The Priapus Man He experiences an overwhelming, almost primal pull toward the woman. He views her body, walk, and outward personality as the ultimate definition of attraction. He can easily become possessive or hyper-focused on her presence.

The Ascendant Woman She acts as a literal mirror to his hidden, raw desires. She will feel intensely desired, seen, and magnified in his presence. However, she might also feel a heavy pressure to maintain the idealized, seductive image he projects onto her.

Immediate Sexual Chemistry The physical attraction is instant and does not need time to grow. It is felt the moment you enter the same room.

The Shadow Side Because Priapus represents raw instinct, this aspect can breed jealousy, obsession, or a fear of losing control. The relationship can feel intoxicating but exhausting if emotional maturity is lacking.

An All-Consuming Bond The man will likely want to consume the woman’s attention entirely, while the woman’s natural self-expression triggers his deepest passion.

How the man views the ascendant woman

Effortlessly Intoxicating He does not just find her attractive he finds her intoxicating without her even trying. He sees her natural movements the way she walks, laughs, or brushes her hair as inherently sexual and magnetic. To him, she exudes a rare, raw energy that stands out completely from anyone else in the room.

His Ultimate Physical Ideal The Ascendant represents the physical form, so he views her body and facial features as the absolute definition of what is desirable. Even if she is dressed casually or feels insecure, he looks at her with unyielding hunger. He sees her as a masterpiece tailored specifically to his deepest, most private tastes.

A Taboo or Forbidden Fantasy Priapus carries a raw, wild, and sometimes dark energy. He often views her as a beautifully dangerous temptation. He may feel that giving in to his feelings for her means losing his self-control, making her appear mysterious, slightly forbidden, and utterly irresistible.

An Essential Part of Himself Because this aspect creates a psychological urge to merge, he doesn't just see her as a separate person he sees her as a missing piece of his own instinctual nature. He perceives her as a sanctuary where he can finally release his inhibitions and be his rawest, truest self.

Last year I started to pray to and work with Priapus as a vegetation and fertility god since one of his domains is vegetable gardens specifically.

I asked him to help guide me and teach me how to grow my own vegetables, how to care for them, how to deter pests, etc.

Since then I've not only grown bell peppers, but I've also planted potatoes, carrots, beans, and gotten a strawberry plant, all of which are thriving.

My bell pepper finally ripened, so I harvested and offered it to Priapus, as I had promised it to him months ago. I thanked him for his guidance, thanked him for working with me, and asked to continue to work with him in the future and to continue to have good harvests like this.

Felt like folks might appreciate another one of my heavily-sources posts on the gods. Finally did one on Ares.

Focuses on his childhood in being raised by the Horae (especially justified Dike and peaceful Eireine), Thero the Beastwoman, and Priapus Dactylus.
