Hello Nox

How are you? I hope you're fine

Could you talk about Peitho 118? if you haven't made any posts related to this. I think she named after one of Aphrodite's companion Peitho? So, I'm curious about this goddess and her role in astrology too

Thank you, have a nice day 💜💜

peitho, goddess of persuasion (asteroid 118)

The origin of Peitho is rather unclear in the classics - she doesn't originate from Homer or Ovid. Hesiod only briefly mentions her. It was Sappho who gave her a bit of definition and shape. Sappho stated that Peitho was an attendant of Aphrodite; she held the secret to divine love and thusly knew how to persuade and seduce someone. Some say that she was the one who married the tragic lovers Cadmus and Harmonia... Frequently, she is depicted in art at the weddings of significant lovers like Dionysus and Ariadne, Thetis and Peleus, Aphrodite and Adonis, etc. Infamously, Peitho was at the abduction of Helen by Paris because her divine magic was needed for Paris to convince Helen to leave with him per the promise of Aphrodite. IN MY OPINION Peitho in your chart can indicate a) where your origin is unclear, b) where you facilitate romances for others, c) where you convince couples to stay together, and/or d) your abilities to romantically persuade others and seduce them.

i encourage you to look into the aspects of peitho along with the sign, degree, and house placement. for the more advanced astrologers, take a look at the persona chart of peitho AND/OR add the other characters involved to see how they support or impede peitho!

Let me ask the inverse of that last question: What characters do you have that are especially tall? (Let’s say 5’8 or above)

Reggie and his sister Mitzi are very tall, around the same height! I don't have an exact height but I imagined it around the late 5's-early 6's.

Enide is also fairly tall, but not as tall as those two!

Ioro who appears in Blackout Hospital is VERY tall, and definitely over 6 foot. Emerald from Blackout Hospital is also pretty tall!

When Rune is not in his chair, he often likes to use magic to appear as though he is the tallest person in the room (within reason)

In Semiaquatic Circus, Pogo Gogo and Clyde are both very tall and would probably be described as "towering" by those around them

Ovidius is fairly tall, and in Sweet No Death Raj is the tallest of the cast!

«Silva domus fuerat, cibus herba, cubilia frondes,/ iamque diu nulli cognitus alter erat./ Blanda truces animos fertur mollisse voluptas:/constiterant uno femina virque loco;/ quid faceret, ipso nullo didicere magistro:/ arte Venus nulla dulce peregit opus.»

Translation:

"His house (of the man, mankind) was the forest, grass was his food, leaves his bed, and for a long time every man was unknown to the other. It was the pleasure of Love - it's said- to placate the wild spirits. They stopped, the man and the woman, in the same place; they learned their way what they should do, without any teacher; back then there was no "art", but Venus did her sweet duty"

Ovidius- Ars Amatoria (II, 475-480)

Imagine being a poet in like 30 BCE and there still being people to read your work 2 millennia later, that’s actually insane.

could you make a post about Proserpina(26), and it’s effect through the signs/houses?

proserpina, queen of spring and the underworld (asteroid 26)

i have not made a post about proserpina, so i won't complete a request like this without having talked about the asteroid first. proserpina and persephone are only mildly different. the likeness ends at the abduction and her mother searching for her.

trigger warning: rape

Proserpina's abduction was more turbulent than Persephone's and is seen in many pieces of media: art, sculptures, Metamorphoses, etc. Proserpina was an innocent girl picking flowers and playing in the glade with Cyane in the pool of water next to her - this was normal for the girls. On a whim one day, Pluto grabbed her and carried her away. Crying and terrified Proserpina calling for her mother - her dress tore, "her flowers fell" (which might be Ovid's metaphor for her loss of innocence/virginity). She screamed for her friends and no one came. Pluto urged each of the horses pulling his chariot by name to take them away to the Underworld. Cyane spoke up when she saw this, saying that taking Proserpina would be against the will of Ceres and that he had done this all wrong - a girl was meant to be wooed and Proserpina was in tears and terrified. She could do nothing to stop him for she was stuck in her pool of water - she was forced to watch him take Proserpina. IN MY OPINION Proserpina in your chart can represent a) ruined innocent, b) rape, c) abductions, d) innocence, and/or e) feeling trapped and helpless in a situation.

i encourage you to look into the aspects of proserpina along with the sign, degree, and house placement. for the more advanced astrologers, take a look at the persona chart of proserpina AND/OR add the other characters involved to see how they support or impede proserpina!

OTHER RELATED ASTEROIDS/PLANETS: PLUTO, ovidius (2800), ceres (1), and/or cyane (403).
