Ganymede is the son of the Trojan king, Tros,(sometimes referred to as Laomedon) and the Lady Callirhoe. Ganymede is famously known as Zeus's first male lover. In his eagle form, Zeus carried the beautiful boy to the heavens to be a cupbearer (in some versions, it is Minos who brings him to Zeus). Zeus pays Tros with immortal horses in exchange for his son. Ganymede is also connected to the constellation Aquarius; allegedly, Zeus turns the image of Ganymede into the constellation of the water-bearer to ease the pain of Ganymede's mother (get it? he was the nectar pourer). Ganymede's age is not explicitly noted in any myths, so, unfortunately, we can only assume he was rather young based on descriptions. And even more unfortunate, this is the first homosexual myth and it starts with the rape of Ganymede (thus the first act of pedophilia enacted by Zeus). In the turn of events there after, Zeus offers to make Ganymede immortal in order to serve the gods forever. Later, Ganymede falls in love with Zeus. IN MY OPINION Ganymed in your chart can represent a) where you are seen as too beautiful for your present situation, b) where you are taken away from home, c) where you break a pattern in your lover’s type, d) where you mark a beginning of an era, e) pedophilia and rape, f) stockholm syndrome, and/or g) homosexuality.

i encourage you to look into the aspects of ganymed along with the sign, degree, and house placement. for the more advanced astrologers, take a look at the persona chart of ganymed AND/OR add the other characters involved to see how they support or impede ganymed!

Do you remember the alien in that Men In Black movie, the one with testicles on his chin? I think the guitarist here is of some kind of related species...

Marie Brema (28 February 1856 – 22 March 1925) was a British dramatic mezzo-soprano singer in concert, operatic and oratorio work in the last decade of the 19th and the first decade of the 20th centuries. She created several important roles and was the first British singer to appear at the Bayreuth Festspielhaus. Marie Brema was born Mary Agnes Fehrmann (also known as Minnie Fehrmann) in Liverpool. She was encouraged to undergo vocal training, which she did, but it was several years more (after 3 months of study with George Henschel) that she first appeared before the public, singing Schubert's Ganymed in a popular concert. She was so admired that she continued training under other teachers and made further concert appearances. Her stage debut was in 1891 at Oxford as Adriana Lecouvreur. On 10 October 1891 (aged 35), taking her stage name from her father's birthplace, she made her opera debut in the first English production of Mascagni's Cavalleria rusticana, as Lola, at the Shaftesbury Theatre, London. he achieved a success, and followed it with a greater one in Gluck's Orfeo ed Euridice later in the same year. She had won Shaw's admiration in a performance of Schubert's Erlkonig, but now he found her he found her insufficiently versatile, over-specialized, with a fixed vocal colour owing to over-emphasis of the dramatic lower register: and recommended that she should permit instead the simple beauty of sound in the upper part of her voice to be heard, when she should take high rank as a singer. In February 1893, at a Royal Albert Hall performance of Gounod's Redemption (with Miss Palliser and Watkin Mills), he thought she sang 'While my watch I am keeping' 'with a gentler vocal touch and a nearer approach to purely lyric style than I had heard from her before', saying she might now become the successor of Mme Belle Cole. In April 1893, at a Philharmonic concert (also featuring Sapellnikoff in Chopin's E major concerto), "happening to be tremendously in the dramatic vein, she positively rampaged through a Schiller-Joachim scena and through Beethoven's Creation Hymn, scandalizing the Philharmonic, but carrying away the multitude." She was then brought to the notice of Cosima Wagner by Hermann Levi, and was invited to take part in the Richard Wagner Festival at Bayreuth, where she sang the roles of Ortrud in Lohengrin and Kundry in Parsifal. She was the first English singer to appear there.[8] Established as a Wagnerian, in 1894 she made her first tour of the United States of America with the Damrosch Company, and in addition to those two roles also appeared as Brangäne in Tristan und Isolde and Brünnhilde in Die Walküre. Her Brünnhilde was considered especially fine, not only for her splendid vocalisation but also for her stature and handsome appearance. Returning to Europe she performed these roles at Bayreuth, and added to them the second Brünnhilde (Götterdämmerung) and Fricka in Das Rheingold. In America Marie Brema sang Brangäne in a German Tristan in a cast with Lillian Nordica as Isolde, Jean de Reszke as Tristan and brother Edouard as King Mark, and also in The Ring, performances under the direction of Anton Seidl and Felix Mottl. During the 1898–99 season at the Met she sang Fides in Meyerbeer's Le prophète opposite both de Reszkes and Lilli Lehmann. In various parts of Europe, in Paris, Berlin and Brussels, for example, she appeared with great success as Dalila in Saint-Saëns's Samson et Dalila, a role which especially suited her, and as Amneris in Verdi's Aida. Orfeo remained a most important role throughout her career. In the London 1897 season David Bispham, (Wotan in Walküre), called her 'superb' alongside Ernest van Dyck, Susan Strong and Ernestine Schumann-Heink,[9] and Klein ranked her with the greats in the casts of Felix Mottl's revival of The Ring at Covent Garden. In 1897 Brema was among those invited to perform at the State Jubilee Concert at Buckingham Palace, where she sang 'Plus grand dans son Obscurité' from Gounod's La reine de Saba.
