The Graces and Charites in Astrology - Charm, Grace, and Beauty Personified
Where we are beautiful, charming, charismatic, and graceful
627, 424, 47, 31, 23, 118
Charis 627, Gratia 424
Charis is the singular form of Charites in Greek mythology
Gratia is named after Gratiae or Graces in Roman mythology
Means "grace, beauty, life"
Was also another name for Cale (no asteroid) or Aglaea (below)
The Charites/Gratiae were goddesses of charm, beauty, nature, creativity, and fertility
Charis is also the root word for charisma
If prominent, you act and are seen as graceful, charismatic, charming, and beautiful; you are like a living, breathing charis/grace
Graces or Charites were usually grouped in threes. The 3 Elder Charites are Aglaea, Thalia, and Euphrosyne.
Aglaja 47
Named after Aglaea, the youngest Charis who is associated with beauty, splendor, glory, and adornment
She became the wife of Hephaestus after his divorce from Aphrodite
Can show beauty and grace; elegant, refined, sophisticated demeanor
Great social skills and an accepting character; not a snob; polite to everyone
Euphrosyne 31
Named after Euphrosyne, the Charis of good cheer and mirth
Means "merriment"
Can show where we exercise good etiquette and social skills; trying to make situations pleasing and cheerful
A cheerful demeanor or outlook on life; a good sense of humor; makes others feel happy and comfortable
Thalia 23*
*There is an asteroid named Thalia, but it is named after Thalia, the Muse of comedy. However, here's still some information about Thalia, the Charis
Thalia is associated with rich banquets, festivities
Fruitful, abundant, generous, kind
Generous with time and resources
There are many Younger Charites, but I only found one asteroid named after them:
Peitho 118
Named after Peitho, the goddess of persuasion and seduction
Means "persuasion, winning eloquence"
Sexual and political persuasion; the art of rhetoric
Can show where we are most persuasive, seductive, and eloquent
Having charming speech; convincing others
Penchant for makeup, jewelry, and other accessories
Knowing how to make yourself more appealing to others

11 août 1911 : mort du pastelliste Charles-Louis Gratia ➽ http://bit.ly/Charles-Gratia Peintre quasi attitré de la cour avant la révolution de 1848 et côtoyant les maîtres les plus illustres, Charles Gratia est contraint de gagner l’Angleterre en 1850 où il doit travailler chez un marchand de couleurs, y broyant des poudres pour nourrir sa famille, avant de connaître un éclatant succès en devenant le portraitiste de souverains et de hauts personnages, très physionomiste et fin scrutateur, sachant lire dans les replis les plus cachés de ses modèles

not thrilled with how my class went today but i'm not sure if that's real or just because of the clinical anxiety

Oggi, 8 dicembre, celebriamo l'Immacolata Concezione, una delle festività più importanti del calendario cristiano.
Secondo la dottrina cattolica, Maria, madre di Gesù, fu preservata dal peccato originale fin dal primo istante del suo concepimento. Questa credenza è stata proclamata dogma di fede da Papa Pio IX nel 1854.
L'Immacolata Concezione è un simbolo di speranza e di grazia. Maria, libera dal peccato, è un modello per tutti noi e ci insegna che è possibile vivere una vita santa e pura.
In questo giorno di festa, preghiamo per Maria e per tutti i suoi figli. Chiediamo a Dio che ci conceda la sua grazia e ci aiuti a seguire l'esempio di sua Madre.

It’s the 11th in Russia, so happy birthday to my best friend @katyspersonal <33
I drew your version of Adeline in a spring theme since you have an April birthday and of course, I had to draw Henriett and Gratia with the CORRECT height difference this time! Heh! Hope you like it!
You are absolutely wild in the best possible way and I love you. Thank you for being such a loyal and invigorating friend, one that actually challenges me to think and put effort into even light-hearted interactions in the most exciting fashion. You deserve the world and a good future for all that you’ve gone through.
Have a good day, girl ☺️🖤

Bloodborne beach episode!.... the NORMAL beach episode, and not how it went... the last time -_- *glares at monster hunters from Byrgenwerth*
In case if Tumblr ruins the quality, I shared full res on Devi: ( x ).
I've started this WIP back in summer 2021, but I've abandoned it since then, and only this summer decided to actually finish it.. Some errors since that time carried on as a result, and arguably I draw a bit better humans now... But the only true way to learn to draw large 'crowd' pieces like this is to simply draw more of them, hahah; Sizing of characters within perspective is yet to be improved, of course, not to mention that some characters are not drawn quite accurately to my heights headcanons for them but I will be real, it was fun to draw! And I just... really wanted to draw something happy and colorful for a long while, since BB's grim atmosphere striped me out of this fix. At least now there is ER for my bright colors needs lol
(Important: there are no OCs on this piece! The girl under Willem's chair is Rom, guy chased by the seaqulls is Bloody Crow, there is Byrgenwerth gatekeeper being buried in sand by Dores the Byrgenwerth graveguard (canon characters only mentiond in the item most of the players never found), Choirling is Yurie, girl next to Maria is of course Adeline, and the guy with the kite is Caryll!)
