An aspect of the Triple Goddess, the Full Moon signifies womanhood in its life-giving form of Mother. Beauty and power embodied, the Full Moon enlightens our emotions and inspires our spirits. In #astrology the Moon rules #Cancer, sign of deep, nurturing emotion.#MythologyMonday
Francisco Goya, "Sacrifice to Vesta", oil on canvas, Spain, 1771. #mythology #fineart #vesta #hestia
Vestal Virgins were sworn to keep alive the sacred fire which symbolized the success of Rome. Asteroid Vesta is now in a T-square with Venus, Neptune and the Moon. Home, duty, love and obligation are highlighted. Hard concepts for many; escapism seems like relief. #astrology #art
@ProfKingsbury @AndrewChesnut1 Oh, I know - I'm waiting for more! Lots there to dissect.
People don't give #Saturn enough credit. Yes he's a gloomy old bastard, but he gives us the strength and patience to carry on, even in the face of loneliness, fear and death, even when it hurts. When your inner voice says "stop, wait, look", pay attention and learn. #astrology
John William Waterhouse, "The Mystic Wood", England, 1914-1917, oil on canvas. #art #FolkloreThursday #Folklore #mythology
Saturn, the traditional ruler of #Capricorn & #Aquarius. Regarded as malefic he rules the economy, misery, labor, disaster, loneliness, old age, loss and hardship, as well as discipline & perseverance. A very Saturnian time.
Art: Ivan Akimov, "Saturn", Russia, 1802.

@Chrystaroth @w_walgraeve @WanderinBritchz @AndrewChesnut1 @ProfKingsbury @emoprofessor @EmpressCortana @davidbmetcalfe @aamanlamba Bridging of duality is not unheard of - look at the idea of Ardhanarishvara. The perfect, divine merger of male and female, in one being. It's Western thought that has been dead set on denigration of the Female, suppressing her power at the detriment of the human psyche indeed!
