Yes everyone, there is an asteroid Magdalena – a.k.a. Magdalene aka the Mary Magdalene.
She is asteroid number 318 and you can flip her into your chart via the amazing asteroid options on Astrodienst.
How would you interpret this asteroid? Well, extrapolating from myth, poetry, magic, history and religion and all I would say Asteroid Magdalene/Magdalena had something to do with the Divine Feminine, yes? She was, after all, possibly a priestess of Isis.
I’m completely thrilled to find my Magdalena conjunct Lilith, lol!
Mary Magdalene and her relationship with Jesus Christ was obviously a huge theme of the mega-selling (and astrology-infused) Da Vinci Code and Christian-based her not, books, films and other content about the woman have become a lucrative genre in their own right.
She has her own Gospel – apparently one of the concealed doctrines discovered at Nag Hammadi in 1945 – and has morphed into a super-heroine – The Magdalena.
Obviously we never weight asteroids so heavily as – say – a hefty Venus-Pluto-Moon conjunction BUT just for kicks, go check out Asteroid 318 Magdalena to see where she is at in your birth chart.
I’d expect to find a prominent Magdalena in people who once had strong ties to a traditional church, perhaps even worshipped devoutly as children or felt a connection to Christ but whom moved away from that.
Mary Magdalene – like Lilith – evokes strong Madonna-Whore dichotomy, don’t you think? Possibly the most widely commented-upon women in history, the views of her have ranged from “faithful companion of Jesus” to “repentant whore whom Christ kindly forgave and tolerated” and “secretly Mrs Christ, mother of the grail bloodline” to “actually the priestess/goddess who inspired the whole ethos of Jesus.”
Continued below…
She intrigued FKA twigs to the extent that the musician made an album themed around her and in fact, the current FKA twigs website is entirely devoted to selling Magdalene fragrance – Rose, Spikenard, Basalm and Frankencense etc – tres churchie but at $8 USD per millilitre you’d assume it’s quality.
Let’s just imagine for one second: Say Jesus and Mary Magdalene are really close, they’re together all the time. She’s his right-hand woman, she’s his confidante, she’s healing people with him and a mystic in her own right. So, at that point, any man and woman that are spending that much time together, they’re likely to be what? Lovers. Okay, cool.
So, if Mary had Jesus’ children, that basically debunks the whole of history. Now, I’m not saying that happened. What I’m saying is that the idea of people thinking that might happen is potentially really dangerous. It’s easier to call her a whore, because as soon as you call a woman a whore, it devalues her. I see her as Jesus Christ’s equal. She’s a male projection and, I think, the beginning of the patriarchy taking control of the narrative of women. Any woman that’s done anything can be subject to that; I’ve been subject to that. It felt like an apt time to be talking about it. – FKA twigs via Apple Music
FYI, FKA twigs was born with her asteroid Magdalena/Magdalene at Zero Capricorn, placing it in proximity to her Saturn, Circe and Uranus conjunction at 28° Sagittarius. It may also be possibly near her Moon, which is between 24° Sagittarius and 9° Capricorn, depending on what time she was born.
She clearly feels a connection with her, perhaps more so in the wake of tabloid villification following her domestic abuse allegations against the actor she was involved with.
Astrologically, could asteroid Magdalene represent an area where you have genuine spiritual nous that is either minimized or swirled up in a haze of projections & politics? The desire for a messiah (which kind of rhymes pleasingly if you say it the right way) or sidelined female divinity?
Thoughts?
Magdalena is on my Taurus moon 3rd house.
My Magdalena sits in my 6th house on top of my Aquarius Sun at 21 degrees in the 6th house. Mary Magdalene also had an Aquarius Sun as well I do believe! My Ullrich family ties connect me to her in a astonishing way and I feel such a deep connection to her very much!
I have Magdalena conjunct my MC in Aries and opposite my sun/Pluto conjunction. I was a very devout Christian as a child, I went to church but was always a bit of an individualist while there. I did move away from it as I got older, as I felt very oppressed and unfulfilled. The church authorities wouldn’t believe I had the gifts and experiences I did, they were threatened by me and any powerful feminine energy, and tried constantly to control me. So I went off on my own, knowing my true connection with the divine lies within and has nothing to do with any religion whatsoever. My spiritual life is magical and exciting, and with no one to tell me I’m wrong. Much better!
Heyy what about asteroid Mary 2779 square Venus?
I have this asteroid in Leo at 5° conjunct my sun in Leo at 7° and chiron in Leo at 1°!! How interesting to see that and it’s all in my 4th house too 💖💖
mine’s conjunct merc in my seventh hse! guyyss….what does it mean?
spiritually infused relationships? i personify the madonna/whore dynamic in re/ships??
“I’d expect to find a prominent Magdalena in people who HAD strong ties to a traditional church, perhaps even worshipped devoutly as children or felt a connection to Christ but whom moved away from that.” ……… just hopping on here to say that I have Magdalena rising and this is true for me.
And in your other post on Asteroid Magdalena, about her involvement in the zap zone conjunct Uranus in Aries…this was when I made my break from Christianity.
Yes.
Just to confirm your expectation Mystic re childhood connection then leaving behind marker. Natal shows Magdalena conj Lucifer (Venus) in 2nd in grand trine with sun/Eris and moon/Hecate/Pluto, Scorp rising. Lucia was the name I chose for my confirmation…not knowing any of this prior.
Mines in gemini. What would that mean?
By the way, I’m loving this post you wrote. Thank you!
I have Magdalena at 25 Scorpio, in my 7th house, opposing my natal moon which is conjunct my natal Mars, yowza. And all of this makes a very nice t-square to my Pluto in Virgo in the 5th.
I was raised Catholic, and remember very clearly that day in 4th grade that I suddenly realized I was being lied to , and that this was NOT the only true religion, and that the kids in my Catholic school were not happy for some reason. I never looked back – that was freeing for this Sun in Sadge, also in my 7th house, at 3 Sadge. Does this mean that Magdalena is conjunct my Sun?
Oh, I grew up to first be an atheist in my early 20’s, and a bit later to realize I’m a healer and psychic, which is what I very happily work as now. I have questioned every male and female authority, while not needing to fight them anymore.
My natal Magdalena at 8 Leo is within seconds of being exactly conjunct my 6th House cusp, my Mars and Karma #3811. The world is my church.
illuminating indeedy !!! “lucifer” “lucent” Of course…measures of light etc. lumens and all

hehehehehehehe
He writes back.
Single with short life expectancy. Looking to be worshiped.
oOo Mary Magdelene in Scorpio, about the only water I have xcept true node in Pisces but don’t know what much of this means. Lilith in Leo. Taurus sun.
Yes, had strong Catholic church ties as a child, emancipated myself at 12 from the religion, but still drawn to go to old churches when I travel. Love Christ, always and the history with Mary Magdelene, wife and mother of his children.
I have it in Aries in the 12th house doesn’t tightly aspect anything.
But I was raised christian/catholic. I really don’t feel much of a connection to the Bible God, and Jesus. And by 17…I stopped praying to God.
But now I work at a Catholic School. I can respect people in the Christian Catholic community…as long as they aren’t the fundamentalist type.
I wonder if the 12th house plays a role in the undercover agnostic thing I’ve got going on.
I’m loving all your ideas and convos around this asteroid.
My thoughts…
I think Magdalena could be a VERY interesting asteroid to look at in synastry.
A tight conjunction of your Magdalena with a major planet in your partners chart could bring up myriad interesting observations, no?
The sacred bride / devotee wife / woman (read: brains) behind the man
or in worst case scenario, the PR wife of the guru cult-man bigamist…
Madonna’s is interesting : sextile her sun, opposite lilith and trine chiron, and Sinéad O’Connor has Magdalena square sun and MC. Seems to fit well.
I have her conjunct my Eros and that’s all, can’t say I’ve noticed!
thanks for this post and comments to all and esp. MM for posting this entry.
This resonates with me on a deep level.
I always like your illustrations!!!
And have said for years when working on someones feet….”It must be the Mary Magdalene in me,that compells me to do this work.”
And your blog helps me figure out more of myself again…
Huge Hugs xoxox
Okay, Magdalena in Scorpio trine to my ascendant in Cancer, square to Pallas in Pisces and conjunct to Neptune in Sagg. My sun is Aries and I have 5 planets in Taurus. All in House 10.
I’m not sure what it all means. Magdalena in Scorpio seems to accentuate that dichotomy mentioned in the post.
WOW, all this is so awesome reading here Mystic, Thankyou…The pictures are v. interesting and beautifully expressive, in that they give me an idea of different aspects, ways of interpreting Magdalena, as in all the above comments above, which i have to come back to and read as have to get rest.
I love the beautiful intelligent/reflective/thoughtful looking first one, as if assessing her options, maybe in a brutal/unfair situ she’s had to face, and the powered up angry warrior who looks like she’s regally her own force and fully knows she can get what she wants regardless of patriarchy kind of thing.
My Magdalene in Aqua 11th house conjunct Mars, sextile Eris, and trine my North in 3rd. I was brought up a strict Catholic, Saturn repressed very much so by both parents, rels, deeply religious. My dad’s father was the only one of eight children not to become an ordained priest, many relatives, including some female ones went into the church for life. I was educated by two beautiful nuns as a kid, Sister Patricia and Sister Mary. I stopped believing in the Catholic religion when i got fed up going to church every Sunday by self, and thought parents were so ‘un-christian’ at home etc.
I now see something of divinity in most religions, and deeply believe in what i call ‘divine intelligence’ – it’s in every beautiful atom all around me everywhere i go, & ever since a grief experience, i’ve believed that ‘soul’ saturates our entirety constantly…as described in your post re Easter Inscription, exactly sums up my belief in the eternal.xxx
In Libra, what a surprise. Dead conj Saturn and also conjunct Jupiter, sounds complex.
I love the bottom pic and the comic strip pic is pretty cool too.
My Magdalena conjunct Eros in Scorpio in 5th opposite asteroid Lillith. Apparently my Divine Feminine looks hot clad in a latex nuns outfit…
Fascinating stuff here. I want more! My natal Magdalene is in Scorp (in my 9th) exact trine to Saturn conj Asc in Pisces and Mars in Kataka (5th). If I ever wanted a thesis topic, this is it. [Aside: when deciding whether to continue onto PhD studies way back when – late 90’s, I decided I wasn’t passionate about anything enough to bother.] Well, now I know! I love your work Mystic, you always energise me with new inspiration and or fantastic humour, kisses.
I am a Scorpionic Magdalene too but in my 1st House conjunt my Scorp Neptune. Opposing my Taurus Saturn in my 7th. I think this explains why some men see me as a Madonna/Whore complex.
Men project a lot of weird issues of women on me. It seems to be getting much worse the older the men who get stalker-like crushes on me, then hate me later when I do not show interest back.
I am not interested in sleeping with other men, I am happily married but, that’s not enough to keep them at bay.
Now I’m totally WOWED !!! Didn’t realize Lucifer was also Mary Mag !!
Many thanxxx for the en-light-enment Mystic, & another nudge in another direction of enquiry !! I do looove the pics too, esp the chica who looks like she could be having an alone but marvellous orgasm in that magnificent cathedral !!!
Hmmm well – asteroid Magdalena is in my 1st house, opp my Sun – seems significant, guess its all the lies distortions & abuses perpetrated by churches over the centuries that makes me so anti religion, tho I’v never studied it in detail … and I’m certainly not anti spirituality or reverence, well yes I’m irreverent too but only about certain things & def not others !!!
And opposition is an integrative aspect, si ??
I studied it as a child. Always loved the messages about Jesus, The Christ prophet. His messages seemed pure and resonated with me, but did not care for the religious dogma and social games attached to going to church.
I moved away from religion/Church altogether.
I can absolutely relate to Mary Magdalena as a archetype.
Woah, Magdalena in the 1st conjunct Venus (Libra).
So my self-image has always been tied up in trying to identify myself; there has been conflict in my life as to whether I am a “Madonna” or a “whore.” I thought of myself as pure & good until people began calling me a whore/slut/etc. in grade school. I had never done ANYTHING to justify this judgment; I was simply different from other people in that I exuded some kind of inherent power. At least, that’s what I’ve always been told.
Ever since then, it’s been a battle to try & remain “pure” in every way. But of course, the people who called me names had NO idea what the names meant. It really bothers me that kids have the ability to do this to each other- so much damage is caused and adults don’t even realize it.
I have a similar experience.
I have Magdalena in Scorpio/1st House conjunt Scorpio Neptune/1st House.
I dressed punk rock (still do but different artsy/punk) in high school and was immediately called a slut, whore, bitch, lesbo you name it because I shaved off my long beautiful hair for spiked hair and later a platinum blonde mohawk (which looked really cute btw).
I was actually shy, straight A student but, loved new wave/punk music and wanted to express my creativity through clothes. i was shocked when I became this evil person to others.
To some I am too boring, don’t take drugs or party enough to others I am a complete evil whore and I have suffered false rumors about me my whole life. I always tried to see what I did to cause it.
I attract male attention even when i am trying very hard not too. Wearing frumpy sweatpants to run to the cornerstore with no makeup.
When I do not reciprocate the attention I have been grabbed, and cussed out and called whore, bitch and death threats even.
I absolutely hate this negative attention.
I am petite and I do not have big breasts or implants or anything that would attract this kind of attention.
Wow, me too!!! Amazing. Because I always think I look absolutely disgusting without makeup/without being “dressed up” to go out … but apparently it doesn’t matter AT ALL. I still get intense reactions either way. Sometimes it’s even worse when I’m not “made up” because people feel they have the right to violate me; when I AM made up, it almost seems like people are intimidated by me and afraid to even make eye contact. So I feel protected in a way when I put on my most beautiful persona lol
In Sag and 5th, conjunct Neptune and Sq my moon.
Yeah you should poll how many have a Magdelena/lilith aspect lol. I love the first picture, it’s so life like almost like a photograph.
yo MS I’m picking your mags is in some way hooked up with your venus neptune arrangement ; o)
Now I really have to have this book. Magdalene is in my 2nd house afterall..
Thanks MM, I would love to have a look at this!
(hope yr health is all good now Andro)
Doing brilliantly thank you Leony! It was my nudge to finding the healing modality for me – yay, all good. 😀
Very nice combo – awesome pic that top one too! Very rich post. Definitely feel that Magdalene is powerful for me and opposing Lilith is super interesting.
Magdalena AND Lucifer in super tight conj True Node/4h
No religion growing up, yet I identify with both figures.. er, figments?
it’s in my leo 2nd house sextile my ascendant which is conjunct lilith. i had an official run in with the catholic church over my display of literature about the marion cult, the black mary statues, druids and the sacred mushroom in the cross at the entrance to their chapel once. Marion prevailed – she was on private property. There was a lot of “you know not what you do” and “I know exactly what I’m doing” – I was attracting an awful lot of fascinating misfits and freaks. Ahhh the glory days. Things are pretty quiet round here nowadays. LOL
lordy what could THIS mean… my magdelena is conjunct the aqua’s juno hehehe as if his lilith conjunct my venus, mercury and pallas in the 5th wasn’t amusing enough and our magdalena’s are exactly opposing – his is in my 8th.
he and me is the only thing I’ve ever believed in
Love the comic strip pic! The juxtaposition with Church art is very much part of my own print image collection.
Magdalene/Lilith trine for me, not conjunct. She trines Pluto too. She sits 1 degree into the third house and begins a swathe of Egyptian asteroids.
Finally just did my Egyptian asteroids and they’re off the hook, Isis/Hatshepsut conjunct True Node, Venus, IC trine Uranus. Nefertiti on Saturn in Tau 6th and Ubasti both squaring plenty so there’s a huge mirrored butterfly on my chart.
RC church, Hinduism, Judaism, Egyptology, Graeco-Roman and Eastern Euro… a rom-style mishmash was my religious practices from aged 9 til…
so why the catholic problem with abortion? If there’s no soul yet surely there’s no problem? Hypocrites.
Institution of Church = patriarchal
Nothing to do with soul.
lol good one whatevs! How’s bizness?
SO busy and pretty awesome thanks – had some peeps who are v successful/established in their realms which is the realm I am training to be in make the opening moves to offer me work in exactly what I want to do with my life – before I’ve even finished my qualifications and they didn’t even know what I was studying – which was strange in that it confirmed I am on the right path and also that now that I’m on it it seems to move quite quickly!
Otherwise the tail end of the old realm is providing/travelling better than ever before so it’s like the ultimate temptation to linger in the past that is now coming to fruition which is clearly incorrect thinking for future times but quite pleasing for the now. Just have to keep in mind that if the beginning of the new thing is so on target it is far better to follow through on that as it evolves because the fruition of that will be even more exciting if it starts with the bang it seems to have started with. If that makes sense… it’s as if whatever you think can be made manifest really quickly right now. You just gotta think clearly and know your truth is all. Haha yes it’s that simple.
Glad to hear you’re taking your health thing in your stride – I had a big pulse of your energy about a week and a half ago and hoped you were ok x
Magdelena on my Descendant, in retrograde, trine Lilith and Sun.
pardon the typos, no virgo in my chart, but I hate my own typos..
London, it’s interesting about guilt and orgarsms, sexuality as a battle..
My sexuality is my religion in a way..
Sometimes I do feel guilty as I seem obssesssed with it but it’s inescapable so it must be serving a purpose.
Yes my chart seems a bit combative really, my Scorpio planets want sex, sex,sex and my Capricorn planets say no no no it’s wrong, or something lol. I think I’m obsessed, not that I have comparisons to other people but I must think about it every day at least once and hour probably lol.
Magdalena conjuct Lilith and Juno in scorpio in the 4th house.
I have identified with the energy of the scorp Lilith before I even knew about Lilith or where it was in my chart, it all fell into place when I found out. This multiple conjuction just reinforces that feeling.
Eeek I don’t know what this means lol. Mine is in my first house conjunct my Moon and Mars. Also 5 degree’s conjunct my lilith but doesn’t label it as a conjunction on astro.com, perhaps only tight orbs allowed.
I tried so hard to escape my religion, my parents are atheist. But a born again christian friend recently got me interested again. The only battle I have is my vanity and sexuality. I feel guilty when I have an orgasm like I’ve done something wrong, it’s not major like stops me enjoying myself but it’s there in the background lol.
I have Magdalene _ON_ my MC. Not conjunct… not holding hands…
These two are one.
I wonder what that means. My Divine Feminine is my true calling?
By the way: I did my 100km bike ride. Took a tumble and rode 40km on some scratches and bruises and STILL MADE IT.
I have also have my very own radio show. For those that made suggestions for the show name, I went with Zen Arcade.
Congrats on that 100km bike ride!! And on your own radio show – cool name.
*bows deeply*
Thank you kindle:)
*kindly…. the e isn’t even near the y. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME???
All good, i like kindle – looove Zen Arcade! Yay, congrats Venus 🙂
Thanks!
Yay! Very happy to hear the Zen Arcade will be rocking the air waves!
Congratulations! What’s your bat time?
Good job on the bike ride too.
How’s the purl treating you?
Good on you venus a-go-go-go !!!
Thanks guys!
Shell- I am a mere 10cms or less from finishing section 2 (things have been hectic and I had to put it down for a tick!). I imagine section3 will be a walk in the park after that;)
The show is insomnia so 2-6am on alternative Thursday mornings (it’s going to _kill_ me, but it will be worth it). There is streaming archives Australian peeps can get into during normal hours and a web streaming for those that are oversea… should they want to etc etc:D
I have magdalena 5 degrees Pisces (7th house) conjunct vertex at 2 degrees Pisces. Magdalena squares my Jupiter- Uranus conjunction in sagittarius (4th house). My parents made me go to church twice a week (my natal saturn-pluto conjunction squares my ascendant, too). I was baptised catholic and had to go to an all girls catholic school but was expected to attend my mothers anglican church on Sundays and to play in the anglican church netball team- weird huh! So until I was 15 or so I was forced to go to church on Saturday night and Sunday mornings. I have not attended church since and neither do my parents!! They stopped going about nine years ago.
Sounds a lot like my upbringing. My Magdalena is also in Pisces. Church once a week, EVERY week, plus more during holidays … was an alter server and so were my siblings. I was baptized, obviously, but I was the only kid in my family who freaked out at the thought of confirmation … the idea that I would be falsely committing myself to a church. Ick. So I also stopped going around 15. Not only that, but my parents very rarely go anymore, they’ve chilled out a lot … I did a lot of talking over the years about how much I dislike religion and my parents have opened their eyes to a lot of injustice / perversity going on behind closed doors.
i have magdalena conjunct my chiron and saturn in pisces and all retrograde. Am i psychic or what???
Yes…..”but he must never know.” In complete agreeness. Good luck!
OMG you’re hilarious sweets – you’ve done the “drive by” with others and made “discoveries” in the past I know LOL They’re not all the same toots – some of them are splendid – I hope you’ve found one of those xxx
ditto 🙂
Trust is an issue I am working on, intuition has served me in the past too (players).
Always knew when the ex was lying, could read him like a book. His Neptune in 1st so he was shocked when I called him on it.
I was right, btw.
Nothin’ wrong with watching yo’ caboose, girl. Nothin’ at all. That’s just good Cappy sense. 🙂
I wonder what this indicates in synastry…..being another person’s Mary Magdalene? That is intense.
Mine is on same degree as my scorpio exboyfriend’s pluto :O I mean, oh dear.
also square is moon exactly. Sextile his venus, mercury(exact), and neptune. Trine his Magdalena. ummmm…..this resonants. I feel slightly uneasy.
His inconjunct my venus exactly.
at 1 degree libra in 2nd house. it is close to pluto but 5 degrees apart. No major aspects, just semi sextile venus and sextile north node(2 degree orb though).
I have always valued her, felt her importance was brushed aside by the churches. Jesus appeared to HER after his ressurection( or so they say).
Asteroid Magdalena in Sagittarius Conjunct North Node in Sagittarius in 4th House?
Not too sure what this means exactly?
wow! i am loving reading what everyone had to say so far about this asteroid
my magdalena is:
-opposite mars in scorpio
-trine moon in capricorn
-in 5th house w chiron + true node (chi + TN in gemini)
-probably the only thing i have in taurus
interestingly, my Lilith is Trine that very same mars which Magda is opposite
maybe my feminin/masculin characteristics are either at war or in harmony, depending on the moment/way you look at it. or maybe i have issues re tryin to show my madonna-side to the world, but knowing that in my private life i’d be a whore lickity split. hehe.
hmmm… shall ponder all this newfound knowledge.
as far as my religion experience is concerned,
was raised catholic by my Very Catholic Mother (baptised, communion, quinceanera, confirmation) but now am more agnostic theist / wish-i-could-be-disciplined-enough-to-be-buddhist. i go to catholic mass to appease my mom & to buddhist meditation-for-world-peace to please myself. when i was in college 3000 km from home i went to catholic mass every sunday at a beauutiful basilica– it made me feel close to my far-away-family & gave me faith when i felt hopeless/lonely/anxious about exams & term papers.
but i respect/recognize all religions. i wish i could practice them all, except the evil/cruel ones. i have a muslim friend who i will join for prayers next friday. wish i had a jewish & hindu & zoroastrian friend so i could join them in their ceremonies (probably harder for an outsider to go to jewish temple, innit?)
Maggi is conj jup. 9th in scorpio along with chiron also in 9th house—-raised a catholic and recovering nicely, thank you! Llith in cap sextiling them ,I really am a nice bitch.
One of my specialties is reflexology–Mary Magdalene –chaneling through?
Nada happening there really. In Pisces in 2nd House (as is my Lilith). Maybe that’s why I’ve never been impressed w/ any church? I dunno….
Mary Magdalene conj Merc in taurus in 2nd house, trining Neptune-Uranus in Capricorn. Like Lilith, she seems to have a liking to my chart.
Opp my sun to 1 degree !!! – closest aspect to my sun except vesta sextine,
am i an anti mrs-christ ????
I always think jesus & mary were ok in their time, but the whole christian mash-up a HUGE con …
Me too leony! Magdalena is in Aries and opposing my Sun in Scorpio to one degree. No wonder I’ve always questioned authority in the church since I was a child. I grew up Episcopalian and went to church till I was 15 because my dad was the music director, but I never really got anything out of it. I embarrassed my parents more than once by telling my Sunday School teachers that the stories in the Bible didn’t make any sense. As a teen I got into Wicca and earth-based traditions, which made so much more sense to me. I still like to study world religions and find them fascinating, but I’m essentially an atheist now. 😛
😯
I have Magdalena at 11 degrees in Leo 5th house where my True Node lives.
I grew up in a small country town where going to church was kind of like socialising. My dad never forced us to go to church but I liked it and would cruise over to mass on my bike after a morning swim in the creek. I remember getting into trouble once by my Aunt for going to the Anglican church for mass (some of my friends went to that church) but I didn’t understand why she was so mad… I still don’t.
I’ve had my holy communion and my confirmation. My connection to religion is mainly because it reminds me of my dad and I feel closer to him because of that. As a 9yr old losing your dad, I needed to believe he was still ‘around’ and honestly… I still need that at 30… 😯
That is beautiful BG. Ditto, I totally relate to your story.
exciting to have Leo 5th house and NN there too – the traditional house of entertainment (I’d call it the studio or arty parlour with a magical tree standing tall in it or at least a Narnia cupboard – if it were a room), romantic pleasures and an artistic/imaginative/creative spirit, playful. You are blessed, fun for a Gem to have Leo NN.
I have Eros in Capricorn in 5th, which Pluto going over it has manifested in a range of fun creative ways.
😯
Thanks TVL 🙂 I love your interpretation. How does one have fun with Pluto travelling over the 5th house?? I have Pluto in Libra in the 8th. 😯
Hey Bg,
Pluto transiting my 5th house with eros in cap could have gone two ways for me, I think: thinking seriously about/having children, or creative spirit.
It’s most definitely manifested in creative expression. Like a ‘need’ to express my creativity’. I’ve realised that in this transit I;ve poured love, time and money into doing so.
In progressed chart, I have venus on pluto – another transit which has reqeuired umpteen amount of pluto juice! no fun there. but wisdom for sure. I also get into Bjork, and am natally a bit plutonic as it’s “on” NN and other personal planet.
Love your blog!
That’s progressed venus on pluto, for specificity. I have pluto in libra too (on NN). Natal venus in virgo, but progressed on lib pluto…
😯
That’s awesome TVL. I love exploring and being creative, sometimes it is quite a challenge! Seems as though you have done a great job in harnessing that. I love Bjork and can get totally lost in her music. I’m so happy you like my blog, I really enjoy working on it. 🙂
I’m still learning about astro and I think I’m a bit plutonic also – trines Gem Sun, Gem Venus and Gem Moon. I’ve only learned a few months back that Pluto was transitting over my Natal Uranus in Scorp 9th house 1990-1991, which was around the time my parents died – separately and 10 months apart. Pluto is tough! 😯
I’ve tried looking back to the time when my father died when i was young, but haven’t been successful so far in terms of transits. For me, it’s in my birth chart (my sun-pluto aspect). I agree, pluto is terribly tough! It’s great that you’ve got NN in leo/5th Bgem; I’ve got Leo rising – utilising the playful, creative vibe of leo/5th house has helped me a lot in dealing with pluto.
magdalene conjunct chiron in aries 4th house…please enlighten me…thank you very much
I have the same as you. I am thinking it has to do with the Divine Feminine or church and your ability to heal others when you can’t be healed. In the 4th house means it probably happened when you were young. Or it could be something happening in your house now.
thank you very much year of the fox
The Church and Christ have been loaded concepts for me, Latin Mass since a kid, bad experiences, rejected the church with horror – still do! But embraced Jesus as an energy vibration after some, well, divine experiences!
So Magdalene is close but not conjunct my Sun in Leo. Trine Neptune, opposition Lilith & PoF, square Hygeia and trine NN!! Wow!
As it is sextile my Gem Asc I guess I feel like yakking on.. Magdalene is in my 2nd house of values and material possessions too, a sensuous but spiritual gal?
Wow, almost bang on my ascendant with a 1 degree conjunction, exact quintile to my 10th Neptune and trine 5th Chiron. Was raised by Portuguese immigrants so naturally Jesus was around. Caused quite the stir on a family trip with grandma and 3 other uncles and aunts when I refused to kneel to an altar. They started calling me a witch so I took them up on it and started studying/practicing Wicca. Didn’t stick with it though.
Perhaps this asteroid also has ties to being the family scapegoat? ie the danger to the traditional structure?
