Apollo and the Muses

Apollo and the 9 muses that he was in love with at the same time at some point

Inspo: @margaretkart great art piece

Calliope: muse of homeric poetry

Ourania: muse of astronomy

Terpsichore: muse of dance and music

Erato: muse of erotic poetry

Euterpe: muse of musical instruments (flute specifically)

Thalia: muse of comedy

Polyhymnia: muse of divine hymns

Melpomene: muse of tragedy

There are a set of asteroids named after the Greek muses, each shedding light on an area of art/creativity. Terpsichore is the muse of chorus, dance, rhythm, joyful dances or physical expression, may be interpreted as creative expression or expression of happiness in the physical realm. Asteroid #81

Aries: A competitive and passionate dancer, joy is an outburst.

Taurus: Their body is likely made to dance, joy should come naturally.

Gemini: Flexible, energetic, and a quick-learning dancer, joy is shared and expressed verbally.

Cancer: A beautifully talented dancer, joy is felt deeply.

Leo: A masterful dancer - a performer, joy feeds inspiration.

Virgo: Incredibly skilled dancer, maybe a choreographer, joy comes from their deeds or helping others.

Libra: Elegant and graceful dancer, joy is enlightening.

Scorpio: Sexy or even mesmerizing dancer, joy comes from connection.

Sagittarius: A dancing flame - attractive or moving, joy is often spread by them.

Capricorn: Disciplined and expert dancer, potentially choreographer material, joy comes from a job well-done.

Aquarius: Interpretative dance, uncommon or niche dance types, joy is a decision.

Finally got back to being able to draw! I decided to redraw my muse designs, so here’s the gals!

-(with no intent to fear monger at all) BOY can a Scorpio asc lunar return give u something to cry about 😖. Ofc aspects matter (cuz I had quite a few squares to my asc) but it really makes you address anything you’ve suppressed emotionally prior to that point.

also, this asc may make you extra emotionally unstable/emotional if you happen to begin your menstrual cycle near this time. like the extremes of emotional turbulence wasn’t like any other that I’ve experienced upon beginning and during my period.

DESPITE all of those things, I learned a great deal in so facets of my life, which is a win (regardless tho I’m sooo glad that this lunar period is about to end 😭🙏🏼)

-next, and somewhat on a more positive note, any asteroids like tightly conjunct the asc (probs 0-2 degrees orb, tho I’d really pay attention to more so 0 degrees orb or 1), are certainly going to manifest in some way shape or form during the return period. more often than not, it’ll probably be a major or major-Ish event to u.

i.e., one of my years in high school (I went to a performing arts hs btw), I auditioned to see if I’d be able to get into the highest level ballet class for the following year. I ended up getting in, but it was such a shock to me bcuz I had only really began taking ballet the summer prior to the school year, which was less than like ~7 months ish (but ofc prior dance experience for 5 yrs in other classes helped 🌚). for the particular lunar return I was in, I had asteroid Terpsichore (81) exactly conjunct my asc.

-transits over the vertex point certainly activate whatever themes of the sign and house it is in in your life like IMMEDIATELY, or at least for the following days or so of the transit (helllpp, mine is in Aquarius 😓)

-oki last point, (and this is more lady related), but I think early development (physically) within people can relate to having Saturn in the 1st house (rx or direct), especially/more so aspecting Venus…pls let me know if anyone can attest to this
