I'm back with doing a sample post. I'm taking a small break from doing asteroid meanings and will instead be doing some other post types related to asteroids I've covered in the past. I will still be working with the charts of Rebecca and Philip Bishop-Clairmont as I think it's fun to dig into the astrological lives of these two fictional characters. I hope you all enjoy some variation in my post. If you want to learn more about Panacea, check out my original post on the asteroid here.
I use keywords to initially interpret a placement, which I will be doing here below. I will also be doing a more in depth interpretation of what Panacea means for each twin individually, but before I can do that I get all the keywords written down and a very basic initial interpretation formed, which yes, can mean somethings here might contradict other parts that I will rectify later.
The matters ruled by Panacea: medication, relationship with pharmaceuticals and alternative medicines, and usage of alleged cure-alls
Panacea in the sign of Scorpio means someone is passionate, intense, jealous, secretive, magnetic, vindictive, and forceful in matters ruled by Panacea.
Panacea in the Third House of Communication means that matters of Panacea's influence is most strongly felt in the areas of early education, siblings, neighbourhood, language, transportation, and technology.
Panacea making a semi-sexile with Saturn means obstacles causing an impact on development of matters ruled by Panacea due to the matters of Saturn's domain (discipline, limitation, duty, reality, excellence, endurance, caution). It also speaks to the completion of a family member's work - which is noteworthy due to the books.
Panacea making a sesquis-square with Uranus means conflict which is easier to suppress and ignore than confront and grow when it concerns matters ruled by Panacea because of the influences ruled by Uranus (independence, sudden disruption, unorthodoxy, experimentation, revolution, change).
PHILIP ONLY: Panacea making a sextile with the Ascendant means an easy realisation of goals and strong hidden talents in matters ruled by Panacea thanks to the help of the Ascendant's influence (appearance, motivation, others' perception)
Panacea is in the degree symbolised by a fox sitting on his haunches, which means selfishness and a good strategist in matters ruled by Panacea.
Now that I have some basic interpretations above for the sign, house, aspects, and degree of Panacea in the twins’ natal charts, I’m going to be expanding on the above in order to round out what Panacea represents for both twins, and yes, there will be similarities and differences, and also some copy pasting because I am not writing the same thing twice.
Rebecca is a Scorpian Panacean, born when the asteroid of Panacea was in the sign of the scorpion and is located within her third house. This implies that she is passionate about the usage of medicines, though not necessarily for the most altruistic reasons. Rebecca's relationship with the concept of medicine is duplicitous and something she will prefer to keep hidden from others, covering up anything that could distract from her intentions. There is a strong connection between the concept of medicine and her siblings and her childhood years, which suggests that the former played an important role in her early experiences and may have left a noticeable impact on her, hence why she is now much more intense about it.
Rebecca's Panacea forms aspects with two different points within her chart: Saturn and Uranus, which means that the themes of these two points influences how Rebecca’s Panacea behaves with the other elements of her life. She is very cautious when it comes to medications, sometimes to the point of endangering herself, potentially due to negative experiences. There is a lot of conflict with medicine for her, though she chooses to bury it instead of confronting this issue. The issue in question likely stems from experimental medications, perhaps forced upon her by a family member, that she was told she had to endure for the benefit of others - likely siblings. Rebecca would want greater independence in medicine due to these negative experiences, though until she learns to deal with her past it will remain illusive.
Philip is a Scorpian Panacean, born when the asteroid of Panacea was in the sign of the scorpion and is located within his third house. This implies that he is passionate about the usage of medicines, though not necessarily for the most altruistic reasons. Philip's relationship with the concept of medicine is duplicitous and something he will prefer to keep hidden from others, covering up anything that could distract from his intentions. There is a strong connection between the concept of medicine and his siblings and his childhood years, which suggests that the former played an important role in his early experiences and may have left a noticeable impact on him, hence why he is now much more intense about it.
Philip's Panacea forms aspects with three different points within his chart: Saturn, Uranus, and his Ascendant, which means that the themes of these three points influences how Philip’s Panacea behaves with the other elements of his life. He is very cautious when it comes to medications, sometimes to the point of endangering himself, potentially due to negative experiences. There is a lot of conflict with medicine for him, though he chooses to bury it instead of confronting this issue. The issue in question likely stems from experimental medications, perhaps forced upon him by a family member, that he was told he had to endure for the benefit of others - likely siblings. Philip would want greater independence in medicine due to these negative experiences, though until he learns to deal with his past it will remain illusive. Because of how others see him, he has the ability to be extremely influential in the fields of pharmaceuticals or alternative medicines and can appear to have a lot of talent in the field, almost like he is a success story.
I personally have a lot of feelings about Panacea and how it relates to the twins, especially from where I think their story will go if the author continues it, and these charts kind of confirm my fears. I don't want to get into it entirely, as we will be here for that essay for a while and this post is supposed to be just about the astrology, but I mention it because I do want to point out that my interpretation here is probably clouded by what I think their fictional future holds, and I just want to get that out of the way encase anyone else sees a similar placement to the twins' in their own chart and worries.
