Good Evening

Tonight, I just felt like typing, about nothing in particular.

I hope you enjoyed, “Where’s the Rest of it.” I don’t write much short story fiction because I’ve been so immersed in astrology, but I think at some point I’ll get back into story telling.

I’ve also been working on my fourth book, which is still untitled. I don’t know what I’m going to call it, but it’s definitely going to be a contribution to astrology. Currently, I’m working on a chapter that’s about goddesses, and seriously, when it comes to understanding the planetary gods and goddesses in our charts, nothing can be more helpful than studying mythology.

I’d say, probably for the last two years, I’ve been delving (I can’t stand that word-delving), but when it comes to mythology, that’s what I’ve been doing-delving into it.

And, as far as the internet goes, Wikipedia is great to reference for a snapshot of something, but when you’re ready to get real about things, you must hit the books.

There’s so much out here too in terms of information, and every author has his/her own style of how they approach their respective subjects, but I’ve been reading Greek Gods, Human Lives, written by Mary Lefkowitz.

As a matter of fact, I just reached out to her through email, to tell her how happy I am with her book, and boy oh boy is it a good one.

So, I researched Juno, the Roman Goddess, on Wikipedia, and Wikipedia gives you lots of information, but it’s missing something, and that something is what you get out of the texts. Information online becomes popular opinion after a while because no one bothers to research anymore..

but, in Greek Gods, Human Lives, you’ll learn that Juno was an angry and hateful goddess. She was married to Jupiter, King of the Gods, so that made her Queen of the Gods, but she just had so much hate in her heart because of her attachment to Carthage. And, she persecuted the mortal, Aeneas because she knew his descendants in Italy were eventually going to destroy Carthage, but of course, Aeneas didn’t know that.

She hated him because he was a Trojan, and she made his life very very difficult. She hated Paris for rejecting her beauty, and she hated Ganymede because Jupiter chose him as his lover and made him immortal. I mean, I guess she had a reason to be upset since she was married to Jupiter, but that wasn’t Ganymede’s fault.

So, she just harbored this hate and resentment, and that’s not good because she had the power to make the human condition worse than it was.

Anyway, my point is that when you familiarize yourself with the mythology, you’ll have a whole new perspective when you glance at an astrological chart and see the position of a god or goddess.

Interesting stuff..

Have a good night everyone, and thank you for visiting Nooz Buffet.
