Subject: This is pretty scary
I was looking up the zodiacical decanates for a story and I got hooked and looked everyone’s up. They’re pretty dead on.
Yours:
Argo – Pisces Decanate of Cancer
Argo was the ship used by Jason and his argonauts to search for the golden fleece, and it also represents the ark Noah used to survive the great flood that caused the final destruction of Atlantis about 9000 BC when the precession of the equinoxes was moving into this decanate. Restless adventures can lead to stormy seas. This Pisces decanate of Cancer symbolizes the curious mind that continually seeks new horizons and the secrets of Nature. Discontent often stimulates further exploration. The keyword is RESEARCH.
Dad’s:
Corona Australis – Cancer Decanate of Scorpio
Corona Australis is the southern crown that represents the laurel wreath of victory and success. This Cancer decanate of Scorpio ruled by the moon can exhibit great loyalty in accomplishing things for the beloved and the common good. The higher expression of Scorpio as the eagle can indicate intellectual endeavors, spiritual aspirations, and other lofty pursuits. The keyword is ATTAINMENT.
Mine:
Corvus – Aries Decanate of Leo
Corvus, the raven, represents a strong bird which feeds on the weak and wounded. This Aries decanate of Leo ruled by Mars can be ruthless and zealous in striving for goals. The effort to lead, accomplish, or rise to the top may be willing to sacrifice oneself or others to reach the power that will lead to desired ends. Survival instincts and power instincts are strong motivators. The keyword is AMBITION.
Ryan:
Eridanus – Leo Decanate of Aries
Eridanus is the name of a Greek river god that has been associated with the Euphrates, Tigris, Nile, and the Po. When Phaethon was struck down by Zeus for mishandling his father’s chariot of the sun, he fell into the river Eridanus whose sisters were turned into poplar trees for having encouraged him. The sun which rules this Leo decanate of Aries is exalted here, as spring comes forth with new life. This vital energy has been associated with the fountain of youth. The influence of Leo brings power and ambition. The keyword is DOMINION.
Kristin:
Canis Major – Libra Decanate of Gemini
Canis Major is the large dog containing the brightest star Sirius. For the ancient Egyptians the dog-star was associated with the annual flooding of the Nile on which they could depend. The dog symbolizes loyalty to a master, whether it be another person, an institution, or God. This Libra decanate of Gemini ruled by Venus represents loyalty and faithfulness particularly in marriage and partnership. Following the voice of conscience can be very important. The keyword is FIDELITY.
Rainer:
Ursa Major – Aquarius Decanate of Gemini
Ursa Major, the big bear, represents the larger reasoning part of the mind. This Aquarius decanate of Gemini ruled by Uranus can have well-developed thinking powers, scientific and literary gifts, and persuasive abilities. The reasoning mind can be very powerful when it is well-trained and applied with diligence. Scientific research and inventiveness as well as comprehensive understanding can be developed. The keyword is REASON.
Julia:
Cetus – Libra Decanate of Aquarius
Cetus, the largest constellation, is the sea monster of discord. This whale devoured innocent youths as a punishment for the pride of their queen. This Libra decanate of Aquarius ruled by Venus is concerned with marriage and the difficulty of finding harmony in relationship. When parents do not get along, the children suffer. Much self-awareness and sensitive negotiation and kindness are needed to achieve concord. The keyword is REPRESSION.
Kristian (non sensical):
Cassiopeia – Scorpio Decanate of Pisces
Cassiopeia was the queen whose pride of her daughter’s beauty caused Andromeda to be chained, but she also gave her children the ram that bore the golden fleece. This Scorpio decanate of Pisces ruled by Pluto may have exciting and intriguing lives involving a variety of experiences, giving them adaptability and flexibility in relating to different people. Psychic ability may enable them to contact those no longer on the earth plane. The keyword is VICISSITUDES.
