{astro notes; pt. 4}
• Asteroid Pandora •
Asteroid Pandora (Code 55) is an astrological avatar that represents the situations or factors that we are blessed with... yet could be our very own downfall; our Hamartia, if you may.
In some cases, these factors could be the root of our curious obsessions that just need to be satiated. It's like an itch that needed to be scratched. But then again, nothing good comes out of excess. And along the way of satisfying our curiosities, we (and others) might end up getting burned together with the scorching trail we left behind.
Nevertheless, disciplined control over these impulses can be beneficial to our attributes and self-development.
🥀 Pandora in Aries
Your zest for life is almost tangible. There's a very primal need for survival in this placement that it radiates out of you in every waking moment; in the way you project yourself to others, and the choices you make in life. That said, there's the looming danger within you that's threatening to snap when you don't get what you want. Impatience is your downfall, as there's this internalized fear of missing out on all the things life could offer. This fear can manifest through hasty actions, brash words, and impulsive decisions that ultimately end up backfiring against you and others that are involved in your life.
🥀 Pandora in Taurus
Luxury and wealth are privileges only so few of us are rewarded. And you've made it your personal mission to become a part of that luxurious few. Whenever people think of grandiosity, you want them to think about you. All the riches life could bless you with, that's where you want yourself to be. And who doesn't? You are free to be motivated by a life of comfort and earthly desires. Yet, this is where the crux of the problem lies. In your journey to wealth, you will stop at nothing to hold the gold you want to own; so much so, that you can get absolutely consumed by this... forgetting that the true essence of living is not defined by the money we have in our pockets.
🥀 Pandora in Gemini
Your mind is an eternal black hole; starving for endless knowledge and information you can get your hands on. Knowledge is power, as they say. You are willing to dive deep into the recesses of humanity and beyond the unknown to understand all the questions you have about all of this. With that said, there's a part of you which understands that earthly information will never suffice and satiate your hunger to know everything. It’s only a matter of time until your mind itself becomes the detriment of you. You are walking on the thin line between wisdom and insanity.
🥀 Pandora in Cancer
The penchant for making a home out of people is strong in this placement. You can’t help but be attached to those who present themselves to you as someone needing your tender love and care. This is a great asset for those who deserve it; close friends and family members in most cases. However, you find yourself giving this quality to people who would use you up and spit you back out when they no longer need it. And by then, you have forgotten to give the same love, care, affection, and attention to yourself — the one who needs it most.
🥀 Pandora in Leo
To be seen, heard, and acknowledged by the general public are perhaps ingrained in your soul’s blueprint since birth. You want to show the world what you’re capable of, who you truly are, and all of the untapped potential you’re willing to develop for further recognition. But this can devour you in the long run. By emulating this mindset without healthy boundaries, you are at risk of being trapped in the cycle of needing acknowledgement from people who don’t even have your best interest at heart, and those who don't even deserve to witness the beauty of your journey to self-development.
🥀 Pandora in Virgo
Perfection is your ambition. It's something you've always wanted to manifest in your waking moments. The word itself won't exist if it's not achievable, you'd probably muse internally. Through numerous trials and errors, you learn from your mistakes in order to produce an outcome that's passable based on your standards. A word of caution, however... not everyone thrives in perfection. And not everyone can reach and maintain your standards. By demanding order and uniformity, you are unknowingly implementing a smothering environment not only for others, but for yourself as well. You are at risk of getting hung up on the minute details of life that you miss the bigger picture of living.
🥀 Pandora in Libra
To love, and be loved in return, is one of the sweetest pleasures in life. You’re in love with love itself. It doesn’t matter if it’s platonic, romantic, familial, or parental. The notion of giving and receiving love has been one of the major highlights of your life. Nevertheless, life isn’t all sunshine’s and daisies. You have the tendency to become extremely melancholic with this placement once you’re no longer receiving the love you think you need to survive; and when you no longer have the focal point of your love and affections. Sometimes, you have to recalibrate your rose-colored glasses in order to see the truth of the matter — whichever you think it might be.
🥀 Pandora in Scorpio
On the opposite side of the spectrum, this placement is the epitome of becoming enveloped in the darkness of life. You have no problem immersing yourself within the cesspools of humanity; as you believe that our true nature lies underneath all the niceties and pleasantries of daily life. You can see through all the lies and masks people think they can wear with mastery. Not to you, though. You know the primal nature of man. Yet, you cannot let yourself be devoured by this impulse to know people’s secrets. Sometimes, ignorance is bliss. If you continue down this path, you are exposing yourself to the risk of becoming like them in the end.
🥀 Pandora in Sagittarius
Like your fellow fire signs, you have the drive to prove something to yourself. And in this placement, you want to prove that you can become whoever you dictate yourself to be. You are not afraid to embrace different facets of humanity in order to determine which tribe you belong into. You may be known as the person who can be a chameleon in all settings; all because you have explored that path of life beforehand. Even so, there is the existing endangerment that you may lose yourself in the process of finding yourself. Remember, you already have everything inside of you that you need to define who you truly are.
🥀 Pandora in Capricorn
Being able to utilize both your environment and your body to your advantage is perhaps one of the gifts many truly covet for themselves. You can see the potentiality of people, objects, timing, surroundings, and circumstances in a way that others oftentimes miss. This is a mark of a prudent person due to the fact that you rarely make impulsive decisions. However, when this placement gets out of hand in scenarios where patience run thin, you can appear as though you can easily outmaneuver people like chess-pieces without second thought... and that doesn't sit well with people. You can be ousted regardless of your good intentions because all they see is an iron-fist dictator.
🥀 Pandora in Aquarius
You have a knack for being ahead of your peers and society. It's because of this that people naturally gravitate towards you due to your fresh ideas, progressive opinions, and original creations. You've been known as the person who "knows people" since you can blend into any groups of people from all walks of life. However, there are also times when things just move too slowly for your liking. And this is when you try to move too fast for anyone else to follow — may it be your thought processes or how you conduct your plans for yourself. This is where people feel left behind by you, and they might feel overwhelmed by the influx of unfamiliar concepts. With that, you're ultimately isolating yourself from the rest of your peers.
🥀 Pandora in Pisces
You were born with the natural inclination and gift of the subconscious. To be able to traverse between the seen and the unseen — underneath the underneath — is why you can emerge from the depths of the psyche alive and unscathed. What most people would find difficult to mentally process, you explore with ease as a past time hobby. But beware; all of us have limitations, as we are all human. There are things within us that are best left unexplored and unseen. Because once you start pulling on the strings of the unknown, next thing you know is that you're neck-deep into the quicksand of the subconscious mind, clamoring to get out.
I sincerely apologize to all my followers for this unannounced hiatus. I didn't mean to disappear from all of you this long. There are quite a lot of things happening in the background that I do not wish to taint my blog with — which is also my sacred space. I can't promise to regularly post... but I'll try my best to write at least one post in a month. Thank you so much for your patience, my loves. I miss you all as well.
