hi! I was wondering if you could please tell me your thoughts about my asteroid sappho being at 23 Taurus 16’7” in my 6th house. it is trine my Chiron in Capricorn, sextile my Saturn in Cancer, trine my Jupiter in Virgo, and square my Mars in Leo.
also, my original question was about a connection between the position of my asteroid hephaistos and asteroid sappho, and I completely understand your response about how hephaestus is not connected to sappho. out of genuine curiosity though (and with no intent to offend or disrespect), couldn’t one still derive meaning from the placements of asteroids and the aspects between them even if the gods/goddesses/etc. are not connected in myth because asteroids indicate larger themes (ex: marriage, beauty, fame, etc.)? yes, those meanings are derived from the role those gods/goddesses/etc. played in myth, but even if two ‘characters’ do not interact in mythology, couldn’t their underlying respective themes (ie. one representing talent and one representing singing) be linked to one another through the aspect they make? again, I don’t mean to offend or discredit you in the slightest, I am simply curious how such a close conjunction of two asteroids can have zero significance or meaning. thank you so much, I appreciate your time!!
alright i am going to explain this the best that i can because i feel like no one is seeing my logic... i don't culture splice - no one should request to me what two different in culture asteroids mean when aspecting one another (ex: zeus conjunct odin). it's not my thing; you'll only get something vague making it a waste of all of our time. as for those in the same culture and me not liking to interpret asteroids that don't interact in myths together - i just don't see the purpose (ex: sappho conjunct hephaistos). the closest relationship they have is aphrodite - each character (sappho and hephaistos) having very differing opinions of her (sappho worshipped aphrodite AND hephaistos married aphrodite but became very untrusting of her). if they lack shared general meanings and lack shared close relationship (with similar shared interest), there is very little to go off of. if you want there to be some mean just remember there are thousands of asteroids and only twelve houses, they have to go somewhere. lots of people don't even interpret asteroid aspects to other asteroids - it's a difficult task to do. but as for asteroids with similar meaning... while i wouldn't interpret a zeus conjunct odin aspect where both asteroids in the 11h together i may say that the chart owner is a great leader. or if loke, mercury, and tantalus were all in the 8h together then the person is like very deceptive or mischievous. just vague generalizations - like i said earlier a waste of everyone's time.
as for your ask, i won't look at hephaistos' and sappho's connection NOR will i look at chiron and sappho aspects.
but on to the other parts of the ask...
taurus sappho (2°, 14°, 26°): these people tend to be like the poetess herself - an artist at heart. they often dabble in some form of art as means to better express their emotions. sappho herself started writing poetry as a means to expression her devotion to others: aphrodite, eros, and those she admired. these people see the beauty in things that others may find to be average - they have a very appreciative eye when it comes to the beauty of all things. they tend to be trendsetters where culture is concerned (especially those who have 26°, mercury (27°), or mc aspects and influence). they tend to be rather open about their sexuality (they are feminist, LGBTQIA+ advocates, etc.). what they may want to be careful about concerning love is that they may love on a higher frequency then those around them - protect your heart and never lower your frequency if you end up hurt; the world needs more of you not less.
aquarius sappho (11°, 23°): i don't see these people as overtly artist but they do tend to know exactly what to say in most moments - they can rally nearly any crowd with their empowering speech. their hopes and dreams tend to reflect those of the people around them, they simply know how to say it best. like a taurus and libra sappho person they are rather open about their sexuality (they are feminist, LGBTQIA+ advocates, etc.). if they are not be part of the community - they are 100% likely to show up to advocate for others - they believe in equality for all and that no one should have to repress their true self like sappho likely did during her time and how she was repressed and likely straight-washed in myth. these people do have the danger of having a lot of hope where romance is concerned. they may believe that if they are outright and boldly express their emotions they will be reciprocated or that their partner(s) will change to be the model person they most want. these people may have to come to the understanding not every time that they are vulnerable means that they are owed that vulnerability in return or that not everyone will change in the way they wish them to.
6h sappho: these people many have a few jobs in which they are exposed to sexuality or art forms in some way - they could work in a diverse atmosphere or they may be writing for their job (not career, this is short term often (kinda a kafka moment)). these people may not wish to be married at any point in life and express it quite often as a limitation of the self (very much a "it's just a piece of paper" vibe) - love is something bigger than institutions to them. their unwavering love may present itself in a workplace - forbidden love motif for sure. alternatively you may have some sort of sexual health issue arise for yourself or your partner. it may be something unknown between you two and it may do the relationship some harm (betrayal or fear is a strong possibility) - but if you both are willing to face it together all is likely to be alright.
mars (9h) - sappho (6h): negative aspects: you could be in publishing or deal with human resources in your work place - it may not be what you wish to do long term. in fact you may just about loath it. you may be surrounded by writing involving lust, sensuality, and/or diversity (you may feel that you can do better). naturally there is a lot of ambition surrounding your art and/or individuality - these people like to standout (they hunger for being known and being appreciated). these people may be more sexually frustrated than those around them and/or more willing to outwardly express their sexuality than sappho was. these people tend to be very expressive with their devotion to others as well though it may come off as oppressive or obsessive.
jupiter (10h) - sappho (6h): positive aspects: these people are likely to work as professional writers (or publishers) or be highly regarded for their work. writing is probably a big part of this person's life. they may have an expansive portfolio where their work is concerned. they may have a lot of loyalty towards those of differing backgrounds and beliefs than them (if you are not LGBTQIA+, a POC, etc. you may treat them with great care in your work and be inclusive). you likely have someone that you look up to in your work place - they could be an advisor.
saturn (8h) - sappho (6h): positive aspects: your legacy could have a long and laborious tale attached - it may be one of prejudice, rejection, and woe. in the long haul you are likely to be remembered for something regarding your work - perhaps you are a pioneer for sexuality and its expression in the making. you could speak out about repression and prejudice regarding the sexes as well.
hope this helps.
