Mythology x Astrology of Planets & Asteroids 📚✨2
In Greek Mythology, Chiron was said to be the greatest healer, scholar and teacher revered by all. Kronos happened to see a beautiful sea nymph Philyra whom he relentlessly pursued (in between his search for Zeus and other children to devour so as to escape the prophecy of his death). The uninterested Philyra turns into a mare in order to disguise herself from Kronos, but Kronos ends up taking advantage of this by turning himself into a horse thereby impregnating her. When Philyra gave birth to a half human and half horse baby, she was repulsed by the fact that she was tricked by Kronos and there by abandoning the baby Chiron out of shame. Chiron, although a centaur in his appearance, was essentially a Demigod due to his parental lineage. Apollo finds the Chiron and takes him under his tutelage, together with his twin sister Artemis.

Lilith, the first wife of Adam, meaning she was one of the first humans created. Since she was fairly equal to her husband for her rights as a human being, she often expected to be respected, supported and valued the same as Adam (especially by Adam himself). This soon turned into internal fights, disagreements and power struggles in their relationship. In some versions of her story, it is believed that Lilith was expelled from Eden for being presumptuous, and in other versions, Lilith left Adam to get her independence (aka the first divorce of mankind). So, depending on the version, she is either viewed as an arrogant woman who was too prideful or the first feminist who was seeking a simple yet profound sense of equality. Accordingly, she is either viewed as a demon (hence, the mother of all demons). Read more…
Juno, the Roman Supreme Goddess and counterpart to Greek mythology’s Hera. Juno is the sister and wife of Jupiter; the Roman Supreme God is the Greek mythology’s counterpart to Zeus. Jupiter and Juno being the supreme deities are involved in many Roman Mythological stories, mainly due to Jupiter’s infidelity or some shenanigans and Juno’s jealous rage or timely wisdom. These two divine couples are considered to be the ultimate pairing due to their individual greatness and the endless bond they share together. Juno, much like Hera is associated with marriage and childbirth. She is also the main deity of Rome back in the time, where she was revered by several names and associated with many important aspects of its people. She was considered to be the protector of Rome, often depicted in war attire. She was closely associated with fertility, protector of women, marriage, childbirth, childcare, menstruation, youthfulness, vitality, war, governance, finances, righteousness, etc. Read more…
Vesta is the Roman Goddess of hearth, home and family. She is the Greek equivalent of Hestia. As the story goes, she was the first child of Cronus and Rhea (in Greek Mythology), hence the first to be swallowed by her father. She was a gentle and peace-loving Goddess who was more focused on fulfilling her duties than in love, romance or any other adventurous matters that most other Gods & Goddesses in mythology were interested in, so she was rarely involved in dramas and hence she appears less in Greek/Roman mythology. After the Olympians won the Great War against Titans, order and peace were restored, she was pursued by Apollo and Poseidon for her hand in marriage, but she refused them earnestly. She had long decided to remain a virgin. Zeus honored her decision and granted her the duty to tend to the Sacred Olympian Hearth, hence she became an important deity of Scared Flame, Hearth, Home and Family. Read more…
Ceres is the Roman Goddess of agriculture, nurturing and fertility. She is the Greek equivalent of Demeter, so she is the daughter of Saturn and Ops, with Jupiter, Neptune, Pluto, Juno & Vesta as her siblings. She is one of the central figures of important mythologies although she is not involved in many stories. She was widely worshipped by the Greeks (as Demeter) and later Romans as she was believed to be the benevolent goddess of agriculture and harvest. She has many temples, rituals, festivals, and cults in her honour. She is worshipped as the goddess who protects crops, for fertility of the soil, a bountiful harvest, etc. She is mostly known for her motherly love and generosity. She is often depicted with agricultural tools in one hand and with wheat, fruits or grains in the other. She was also associated with Mother Earth since she was the reason humankind could cultivate, grow food and continue to live peacefully. Read more…
Pallas Athena is a Greek Goddess of Wisdom, Strategic War & Artistic Skills. She is the daughter of Zeus & Metis. Like most stories that involves Zeus, he was believed to have pursued Metis, a Titan Goddess (who also helped him during the war with his father) and impregnated her. But soon after, he was afraid of his fate turning out to being that of his father & grand-father, since there was a prophecy that the kids born from this union will be much stronger and wiser than Zeus himself. So, he decided to swallow Metis while she was still pregnant. After a while, he began to experience severe head-aches as if something was inside his head trying to come out. When his head was split to be examined, Athena emerged out fully grown and in armour. Since she was a magnificent goddess of strength and wisdom, she became Zeus’s most favourite daughter making her an even more prominent goddess. Read more…
Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, sexuality, justice, and beauty. When Cronus killed his father Uranus, he was said to have castrated him and threw Uranus’s testicles into the sea, from the foam that formed came a Goddess (already fully developed in appearance as an adult) standing on a clam shell, who was named Aphrodite. She is the roman counterpart of Venus. She was said to be the most beautiful of all Greek goddesses. She was also the most sought-after character in mythology. As a result, there are many stories that involve her or where she involves herself. She is known to be a flighty and extremist character none the less. She is often depicted in nude, from half naked to warrior attire depending on the places and the form she was worshipped in. She was one of the most worshipped and had huge cults in her name, she was worshipped for her blessings in marriage, fertility, love, beauty, political power, popularity, justice, protection in war, safety in sea voyage, etc. Read more…
Eros is the Greek God of love and sexual desires. He is considered to be a God of Chaos (a primordial God of creation), yet most believe that he is the son of Aphrodite and Ares. Cupid is famously the Roman counterpart of Eros represented as an infant with wings, bow & arrows. In most of Greek Mythology he is often depicted as a youthful & handsome man with beautiful wings on his back, golden arrows & bow in his hands. He is considered to be a mischievous God who has the ability to strike love in the hearts of both mortals and Gods (when he shoots his Golden arrows, similarly when you shoots with his Lead arrows he can make someone feel repulsed by another). He is responsible for most affairs, scandals, misfortunes and happy endings in mythology. Much like Aphrodite, he is respected as the god of love since he has the power to ignite passion for life and hence responsible for the continuation of it, so he is associated with Fertility.

In (Greek) Mythology, Psyche’s story begins as the youngest daughter of a King. Though her two elder sisters were beautiful, Psyche’s natural beauty was extraordinary, so much so that most people admired her more than Aphrodite (aka. Roman Goddess of Love & Beauty, Venus). She received countless marriage proposals, gifts and compliments from people who would soon start to ignore worshipping Aphrodite, thereby angering her. In a pure jealous rage, Aphrodite orders her son, Eros, the God of Lust & Romance, to make her fall in love with the most hideous creature on earth. Eros instead fell in love with Psyche the moment he first laid eyes on her. Meanwhile, the King was distraught by Psyche’s future and frightened by a prophecy he received through Apollo, he left Psyche on a mountain to be taken by a beast as his bride. This beast being Eros in disguise. Read more…
