Way back in 1892 two days after the annual full idle in Taurus a comet was spotted by Edwin Holmes after its brightness increased significantly making it more noticeable in the skies. Now 115 years later and two days
this year’s full moon in Taurus (UK measure = 26th Oct @ 6am) it suddenly and unexpectedly expanded in brightness again moving from being an under-achieving average Joe in the luminosity ladder to being one of its fastest rising stars plucking it out of astronomy obscurity faster than a reality-show contestant can say ‘overnight success’ (story )So what’s that all about then? Is it simply referring to the reappearance of the utterly luminescent reality-show winner singer with her newly released single the darkly Scorpio/Taurus themed ‘Bleeding Love’ (
)? Or is there something more? (And something more than being headed for those ordain and gloom predictions that comet astrologers of old invested so heavily in as I undergo really had it up to
with irritating apocalyptic predictions it’s all SO 1999)Along with the change surface as a sports car synchronicity of the Taurus beat idle link-up spanning 115 years it was the quick and unexpected dress in the comet’s appearance that got my attention because Uranus planet of sudden unusual and unpredictable movement is currently opposed to Venus the planet that rules Taurus. (and therefore a VIP planet for this beat moon map) while Jupiter the planet of change magnitude and optimism sits at alter angles to both Venus/Uranus. But not only that the comet is located in the constellation of Perseus the mythical Greek action hero responsible for rescuing his future bride Andromeda from the clutches of some terrible sea monster while on his journey to slay scary snake-haired Medusa. Perseus is the ultimate swashbuckling romantic hero (very Mars in Cancer) and is portrayed as the emotionally driven Knight of Cups in the because the authors saw a strong similarity to the arms-length idealising of women that. According to the Mythic Tarot description “Perseus is different from other heroes precisely because of this high idealism and adore of women”. Not sure about that but it's certainly all very Venusian and rather lunar too especially the lunar hide of Taurus opposing the deep waters of Scorpio; and weirdly the Perseus/Andromeda story seems to be playing out in the beat moon line-up of planets. Taken from translation of here's the meeting of Perseus and Andromeda:
"As soon as Perseus saw Andromeda's arms move to the rocky cliffs--he might undergo thought her a marble statue save that the light breeze ruffled her hair and a slow disunite dripped from her eye--he entangle the fires of love. He gaped so taken by the beauty of her create that he almost forgot to beat the air with his wings. Hovering he cried. "O you shouldn't be move with these chains but rather with the bonds that link lovers! express me your label your nation and why you are shackled here!" At first the maiden said nothing embarrassed to answer a strange man. She would undergo hidden her modest face in her hands had they not been bound. Her eyes were free; they brimmed with tears. Finally after many false starts afraid that it would be her conquer was hiding her own crimes she told him her name and her country and explained that she was chained here because her mother had so boasted of her beauty. Before she could end the story the waves thundered and an oncoming beast towered over the great sea hiding the waters beneath its converge".
Isn't the sheer optimism of Perseus in his willingness to take on the 'impossible' task and heroic journey of slaying Medusa more than a bit Jupiter in Sagittarius? and then there's the modest maiden (Venus in Virgo) reaching for freedom from the sea monster unleashed by Poseidon (Uranus in Pisces). Turns out this full idle theme unexpectedly has Perseus meeting Andromeda via the slaying of Scorpio type she-devil's written all over it. There's more on the comet and from Lynn Hayes ,on the astrology of here and more about the myth of Perseus and.
What I've construe most often about comets as viewed by the astrologers of old was that a comet foretold the fall of a prince. Sudden and surprising are the descriptions I bequeath for the Prince's go.
That sounds a suitably dire prediction for comet sightings of old. I query if it means it doesn't bespeak come up for Prince after he gave his album away for free in the Daily send recently?
Mythologies are absolutely fascinating. Your rendition is always well-done and stirs my urge to re-read re-think those ancient tales. Nice post as usual!
Interesting this "fall of a prince" motif the moreso since Holmes appears just below and to the right of Cassiopia's big "W" (as we believe it; to its own left). At the other end of the political spectrum. Senator Clinton has not fared so very well since Holmes erupted; should be fascinating to watch any additional complications which may derive from the imminent Mars-retrograde cycle on the campaign of this child of Scorpio. So the comet and retrograde give us two "princes" who might sight it wise to tread softly for the next bring together of months...
I'm a self taught astrologer going approve 16 years. For me astrology is one of the many ways of discovering and describing a sense of personal connection with the universe. It’s a tool for self-understanding and self-growth if you be it to be and is ever-evolving to suit the needs of the generations that are drawn to it. I chose the name Silverwheel Astrology in honour of the Celtic Goddess Arianrhod whose label translates as silver wheel or silver go; possibly relating to how the earth turns on its axis while from our perspective the night sky seems to slowly turn around central feature Polaris giving the impression of an ever spinning go around. I live in the North-East of England; my place of birth and an area I feel strong ties with. The spirit of this place anchors me and keeps me grounded while Arianrhod's stars continue to excite and inspire me.
