Yes, but I thought they must be planets, not asteroids?
Aphrodite at 13 degrees
Pallas at 12 degrees
Astrea at 26 degrees
Vesta at 12 degrees

Vulcan is your logical and critical thinking skills while Mercury is your communication and intellect

Anything which is a mental faculty is divided between either Mercury or Venus (the left and right brain respectively), so I don't think Vulcan has any role or need. All in all, I remain unconvinced on Vulcan.

Mercurian Intellect: How can Mythology logically interpret the Science of Astrology? It can't, I 'think' it was just associated with Astrology because of Mythology's popularity within the Greek society and it was similar because it had to do with planets.
Obviously Mythology is fake, so if Astrology is solely based of Mythology, then Astrology must be fake then right?

---

Hm, I think I like you because you're stimulating. If you aren't convinced, though, I may end up doubting your Mercurian intellect.

First of all, you are thinking fallaciously again. Mythology/spirituality, astrology, and science are not logical things, so to ask for a logical interpretation is wrong from the start. Astrology isn't a science that we can quantify given our current tools either, so saying the "science of astrology" is also wrong from the start.

Any ways, one thing I think you have to realise about astrology and mythology to understand how they're related is that they are intangible concepts that require a subscription of belief. They are related because they share core concepts which you must apply. Venus, goddess of beauty, and Venus, planet associated prominently with love - how can they be related aside from name? You must go deep. Journey with me, little Virgo, let this Scorpion boy be your guide.

Love and beauty are both ideals. Venus the goddess represents an ideal of society and Venus the planet governs ideals at her core. It is not coincidence that an ideal goddess had a planet named after her that would become a planet governing ideals - mythology and astrology are intertwined.

Aphrodite as in, Venus-Aphrodite, and I do count asteroids as Planets, but not as planets. If you get what I'm saying.

But how does She suit the lovers axis? Then again, war and peace could make sense too. Influence over Libra?

What about the asteroid Hay? Maybe it could rule Taurus?

posted September 08, 2013 02:01 AM              

I don't think the mythology really adds up...
I think Eris is the co ruler of Aries, maybe...

yeah, it's perfect for Taurus. Bulls eat hay *shrug*

Or in certain signs asteroids and minor planets they have domicile
Love asteroids would obviously be happy in sensual venus ruled signs.

Eros must be exalted in gemini!!!
These people are just so attractive, but I'm biased..

Also poor taurus, always being picked at for not being pretty enough, I think it's the most romantic and sensual side of Venus.. :3
Libra is the more superficial side of venus.
It's is basically a prude version of gemini
Not enough to represent the whole planet!!!

Also the masculine feminine polarity make sense for the planets.

Venus rules taurus
Virgo rules mercury.

Now to get meta! During my stay in LL I've met and interacted with many very wise people who shaped my view on astrology. One such view is that the very collective conscious is what powers astrology. We may not be able to quantify it yet, but I believe collective conscious is an energy. Science can't even explain why we are alive, and yet here we are, and by the same measure, modern science can't explain astrology or the spiritual. Is it any stretch of the imagination to think that if millions of people believe a planet influences them, that very belief reflects off that planet back at us...?

Well they are both intelligent, sociable, charismatic, and popular signs but libra tends to dislike lewd behavior.
