It is God's blessing to man to provide his needs free of cost.

There is a weed called pepper weed that has actual little flecks of pepper on it that you can use for salad.

There are many, Randall, but you really need the web cuz some can look very much alike.

You have to study, study, study before you pick them, so one book would never be enough imo

Minerva, goddess of wisdom, the counterpart of the Greek goddess Athena. Homer called her 'the blue-eyed Minerva' and by Ovid 'the yellow-haired'.

****************************************

Keywords:
artistic, arts and crafts, biotechnology, confidence, conflict, creative, daughter, diplomacy, genetics, healing, horses, immune system, injustice, intelligence, intuition, justice, learning, legal battles, logic, politics, science, strategy, strength, wisdom.

Wherever Minerva falls in the birthchart shows the area of life where these talents are likely to be found and in what capacity.
Minerva, the Roman and Etruscan Goddess of intelligence, creativity, wisdom, domiestic skills, and handicrafts was the patroness of artisans, of all people whose handiwork was guided by their minds. Her very name comes from the ancient root for "mind". Minerva appears here with her sacred tree, the olive. She wears an aegis, whis is a breastplate edged with snakes and an owl on her headdress which identifies her as a Goddess of death and the deepest mysteries.

The Lessons of this Goddess:
Minerva has come to tell you it is time to examine your beliefs and change them if they do not nurture your wholeness. How are old, outworn, unhealthy thoughts undermining your life, your energy, your happiness? Do you believe what other people think and/or say about you? Are you still running the tape of negative messages your parents or caregivers gave you when you were a child? Do you believe the worst of yourself, or the best?
...

The wisdom of reflection and strategy.
Extremely sexual and responsive and sexually caring to partners. Sexual negotiation skills. Sex is deeply transformative and regenerative and can go through certain cycles. Honour and respect is number one here. Sex and lust could take over in spontaneous busy days and nights. Profundity in sex. Sometimes sexual obsession. Both partners need to contribute, as control dampens the enthusiasm.

Minerva is the warrior-Goddess, who is making a re-emergence in a number of forms in our culture. Astrologically, she represents political and negotiating skills, having been transformed into a kind of modern lawyer-like warrior.

Defenses and defensiveness can be involved with this asteroid. She is, after all, an armed defender. Righteous, just and true, but defensive about it. So we can look at the placement and aspects of Minerva for some clues about this attribute of who we are and how we react.

Minerva is the Daughter. As Goddess of Wisdom, she is active, creative intelligence that gives birth to thought forms. Here the reproductive energy of Venus is released not through the genitals, but rises like the kundalini serpent to the head where the creative generation of ideas (mental progeny) is born. hence, Minerva represents the principle of creative wisdom.

Her colour is yellow, symbolising the mastery of the intellectual domain, and her mental qualities link her to the element of air.

In the symbolism of the astrological wheel, Minerva corresponds to the Midheaven, where visibly, socially useful accomplishments are realised. Astrologically, Minerva represents one's mental creativity and the capacity to create and control one's reality. When a person becomes clouded by ignorance, Minerva's cycle takes them through the transformative process of destruction and renewal of their life structures. She teaches the wisdom that the mind's eye contains the seed of manifested form.

****************************************
Minerva is also associated with the arts of healing, health and regeneration. As the Goddess of Victory, first victorious in war and later a victor on the sports field.

Minerva signalled victory and as a patron of heroes she was also known as the Goddess of the near, as she was always close to the hero and a staunch supporter of the heroic.

As the Goddess of war and defender of her father’s realm Minerva became aligned with the hero as his guide and protector. In mythic portrayals of the hero, Minerva stands behind or beside him as his staunch ally against the monstrous and dark forces. When Minerva appears she encourages us to be heroic and battle the regressive forces of our instinctual nature. It is necessary to reflect on the situation and not react emotionally, detaching enough to formulate a decisive plan of action. On an oracular level the card suggest the need to be the wise warrior and use strategy and cunning.

On a divinatory level Minerva suggests the individual may be torn between the head and the heart but Minerva encourages us to be heroic and choose the course that will champion our cause. An enmeshed situation demands reflection, objectivity and disengagement.

Feminine Wisdom: Reflection and meditation develop out of the turmoil of chaos and uncertainty, helping us to become more strategic and deliberate in our actions. Metis is the valued intelligence that guides our instincts and plans strategically and arises into consciousness at exactly the right moment. Minerva discerns and through reflecting on emotionally entangled situations allows consciousness to develop.
****************************************

Minerva shows our ability to recognize patterns, to arrange and re-arrange things.
Minerva in the Signs shows your preferred style for doing these things. Minerva in the Houses shows where you have problem solving ability and pattern recognition ability.

Oh wow what an incredible effort DialecticLady ! Very interesting, much thanks!
It made me check my chart and it turns out I have Minerva conjunct my ASC exact in Libra and also conjunct Uranus 1 orb.

So how does it reflect in my chart:

To start with I'm blue eyed and yellow haired...but with that Uranian bend unfortunately, lots of conditioning treatments:-) ...
Creativity plays a major theme in my life, ideas flow constantly, in fact its hard to focus on something as one thing spurs another idea and another and so on, I have shelves full of notebooks to keep track. I've chosen photography as my creative outlet but its evolving into a more constructed art form , perhaps due to saturn need to build structures. ( I have a bucket chart)
I have a healing affinity, I use alternative medicine only, seem to instinctively know what I need and what is lacking.
Martial arts, pilates feel very natural, I like the feeling of having control over every muscle and movement...though this could be more Mars in 1st house.
Always defend the underdog, even at own cost. Have a very strong sense of justice. Seem to understand legal matters intuitively. I like to get to the bottom of things.
Problem solving comes easy and I love challenges. My day job involves developing strategies.
I love mind puzzles, brain twisters, Trivial pursuit was my favorite game when I was younger.
Lots of interests...or too many...
Excellent researcher, feels incredibly exciting.. omg im like an archeologist looking for some lost treasure.
I recognise patterns in everything, maths, behaviour, forms, text, art, similarities, differences...I was shite at maths until I understood that there are patterns and studying it became so easy after that, my eyes would see it before the brain...
I learn easily and fast, provided that Im interested..I failed statistics every time, I found it incredibly boring and biased.
The mind never stops,its like a speeding car, its tiring.. cleaning the house is a good remedy:-)
I stay away from anything that can affect the brain, I know exactly when to stop drinking before I loose the capacity, drugs is a huge no go for me.
Sexual description above is on point, though I have Mars/Venus in scorpio as well...the negative side of that is people often mistake sensual intensity for promiscuousness. Ive felt hurt by this in the past, tried to hide behind mennish clothes. Even now I rarely wear sexy clothes, I dont want to bring attention to myself. But I have a Moon in Leo and oh well there is that bit of vanity, I feel sexy in a tracksuit as well...

And finally, i know a thing or two about the transformative process of destruction and renewal...like a phoenix from the ashes...
Cheers x
