TERPSICHORE:
In Greek mythology, Terpsichore (play /tərpˈsɪkəriː/; Τερψιχόρη "delight in dancing" was one of the nine Muses, ruling over dance and the dramatic chorus. She lends her name to the word "terpsichorean" which means "of or relating to dance". She is usually depicted sitting down, holding a lyre, accompanying the dancers' choirs with her music. She is sometimes said to be the mother of the Sirens by Achelous. Her name comes from the Greek words τέρπω ("delight") and χoρός ("dance"). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terpsichore

She has TERPSICHORE in 13 Leo conjunct Saturn, included in a Grand Trine with Moon on 15 Aries and Neptune on 11 Sagittarius.

It also sextiles her stellium of Venus/Mars/Pluto on 11Libra (yes same degree) in 5th house.

It sextiles VALENTINE in SCorpio in 12th house, and while I am not a dancer myself, I really enjoy and admire other people dance.

Interestingly it is also conjunct my Anubis. Not sure what to make of this though. lol

Interestingly enough, it's also conjunct 5180 Ohno, which according to http://markandrewholmes.com/ohno.html , pretty much is what it is ("Oh no", horror, denial). Also conjunct 10041 Parkinson (Parkinson's disease and other neurological disorders (including mental illness); working under a handicap.)

I don't really dance, especially not the typical nightclub fare (though I have gotten into it at a few raves (mostly at anime conventions, and the last one I kept bumping into people ), and a couple times when I went to a goth nightclub as well with some college friends. And I can be a bit of a klutz at times and on occasion loose my balance lol. (When I was a little leaner, though, I seemed to move more fluidly and not as prone to losing balance... trying to get back down to that point again and see if that comes back).

I never looked up OHNO before. Turns up in 13 Sagittarius in my 1st house, over 3 degrees off my Neptune and NN. But I donīt think the conjunction is still valid.

But it`s exactly conjunct someone elses Venus and the first time I saw him, I was thinking "Oh No, please, no!" (in the way you know Karma is about to strike and you really do not feel ready for it. ). lol

I danced through out my childhood.
I sang, act, and danced growing up. Dance was kind of my weakest out of the 3. I got really good around age 14 when I went to a christian dance studio, that was just strict enough...and they showed me how to use my gangly long arms in a graceful controlled way. Ballet and tap is what I'm best at...and the hip hop stuff not so much.

I do miss dance. My mom went with grandma a few weeks ago to see a ballet my old studio was doing. I would of went with but I had this auction thing I had to go to for work.
But I got on the phone with my grandma and we talked about the ballet. She told me that she misses seeing me dance. I told her that I did too, and how maybe I'll get in classes again cause it's fun and good excersize and my grandma chimed in. "and you'll loose some weight" lmfao Yeah when I quit dancing I gained like 20 pounds.

Last year I took an aerobic dance class at community college and man that was so easy. lol I need an excuse to take more dance classes.

My aspects with Terpsichore are
conjunct Sun
trine Mars

Mythology:

"In the ancient Roman world, Arachne was a talented weaving artist, who had amazing skills and ego to match. Minerva, (the Greek equivalent of Pallas Athena), the patron of the weaving arts, was annoyed with Arachne for refusing to acknowledge that she received much of her talents from the Goddess herself. Disguised as an old woman, Minerva warned Arachne that she should respect the Gods, to which Arachne tilted her head back and laughed, scoffing at the concept. She then went on to tell the disguised old busy body that there should be a contest, a true decider of who was the most talented weaveress of them all. The crinkled old woman, flapped her cape a few times and morphed into the Goddess Minerva. The crowd gasped and the spinning contest began. Minerva chose a war theme, of her victory over Poseidon, whereas the cheeky Arachne chose to depict a theme of the Gods and Goddesses rampant and lax, sexual natures. Furious, not only at the chosen subject matter but at the pure beauty and perfection that was Arachnefs work, Minerva lost the plot. In a flurry of temper, Minerva destroyed the loom and struck Arachne on the head, slashing at her in a jealousy fuelled frenzy. Demanding that Arachne bow before the Goddess, Arachne refused and opted to hang herself, rather than do the bidding of one she held in such low esteem. Eventually, Minerva took pity on the dangling form of Arachne and loosened the rope, where she thus morphed into a spider and the myth lives on to this day.
