| When I think about the legend of how the asteroids were made, see LEGEND, I can imagine big ole Venus rolling along, smashing into planet M, calling out, "Come on girls, let's get some female energy into this solar system!" At that time, the only female energy recognized was the Moon. Planet M became two, "M and " with a stinger (from whence the candy was named) and Libra came to be;10 planets became 12! Venus settled into her orbit and took on Libra as her mate and Mars as her axis. She still rotates backwards from all her efforts, but something had to be done and Neptune's babygirl did it! Because two earth Signs have new rulerships, the modern decans are different. Below is a list of decans: |
| Astrologizing.net Planetary Rulerships |
| Always there have been discussions concerning what planets rule what Signs. When I was studying Astrology in the late 60's I learned the Ancient rulerships and how they came about. Putting the Sun and Moon in the middle, it followed very naturally that five Signs would be on each side with the rulerships of Mercury,Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn following. When Uranus, Neptune and Pluto were discovered, they each displaced one of the seven bodies; Uranus took over the rulership of Aquarius, Neptune over Pisces, and Pluto over Scorpio. Those transpersonal planets became known as the upper octaves of Mercury, Venus, and Mars respectively. It all went very easy. Now, we've got more to discuss. The astronomers can demote Pluto all they want, he's still the lord of life and death to astrologers. But, what about Ceres, Chiron, Eris, and the rest? If Eris had been named, Persephony, I would have given her to Taurus with no hesitation. However, I won't give Eris to anyone; at least not yet. Ceres, earthly and nurturing goes with Taurus and she makes a good axis with her enemy, Pluto/Hades. Venus always goes with Mars. Chiron, as educator, couples with precise Virgo, ruler of high and trade schools. Chiron is a good balance to Neptune, the dreamy, compassionate, and Oneness planet. All of this is simply my opinion. I had it differently yesterday, but a dream made me switch Ceres and Chiron. |
| From this month of Virgo, I will change Henry's mandalas at each decan. That way, I'll get to show so much more of his wonderful work. Thank's Henry! Click on the beautiful mandala for Henry's Blog Spot |
