THE MYTHOLOGICAL TRINITY
The Mythology of the Moon
The Queen Elizabeth II, Kate and Meghan

It is of the
key importance to understand the mythological trinity in order to understand
the influence of mythology on one’s life, for all stories unfolding in all our
lives have already been told. There are many stories the details of which are
noted somewhere and which we only transfer unconsciously. The story of
mythology is the story of the unconscious code that resides in all of us and
that has the strong need to be realized, to be lived. It is necessary to understand
that there are several key levels within oneself from which the myths act, in
order to comprehend from where and from which of the levels comes the
unconscious need that has the urge to live, which is the story that needs to be
told in one’s life, that wants to be fulfilled and that, in the end, some planet
tries to show us and to explain it through the manifestation in everyday life.
There are
three key mythological traditions whose archetypes we primarily live and they
represent the dynamism of needs that wishes to be realized, i.e. to become
concrete in our second house. Each one of us needs to realize his mythological
story (one’s unconscious needs from the 12th house) in the field of
values - the second house. When one accomplishes that, one feels like living one’s
real story. What one wishes to concretize in the second house is the best part
of the 12th one, for the natural ruler of the 2nd house –
Venus is exalted in the 12th house, so the stories within wish to be
realized through the 2nd house, so it is necessary to find the best
connection between the 2nd and the 12th houses, and the 2nd
has to be similar to what the 12th wishes to realize, for the 2nd
house is the material carrier of the 12th one. It is the force that
guides oneself, it is the issue of the force within that wants to be realized –
it is the fate, and when talking about the mythology we speak of the fate, the
inevitable force that runs through each and every one of us.
After
realizing the myth, one acquires the feeling of certain value, the feeling of
living one’s real life – the feeling that one is really the oneself, for then
we realize 1st and 2nd houses, which is by itself the 12th
house, but also the 3rd house, which is every awaken person....
Those
three traditions of myths are related and connected, making one unity that
evolves through time. They belong to traditions of Babylon, Greece and Rome.
Those
three key levels are interconnected and related, i.e. the myths from different
traditions are related, although there are some differences. That relatedness
is not so obvious with African, Chinese or Indian traditions, which does not
necessarily mean that they do not function, but they are simply not primarily
related to our culture where Babylonian, Greek and Roman traditions have the
priority and make a whole, having in mind that the language is also important.
It is necessary to assess the level from which a certain planet acts whenever
it is required to establish the system.
The level
of Babylon is related to the level of Sumer – it is actually the same story,
with less differences between the Babylon and Sumer than between the Greece and
Rome. The civilization as we know it comes from Babylon, the first historical
scriptures, as well as the first astrologers who were called Chaldeans, and
that is why this level is taken as the primary source. What is best known and
lived today is largely the Greek mythology and some models of the Roman one,
but the Babylon is our integral part and we all carry within the Babylonian
code to some extent, the question being to what extent is that related to us.
The mythological code is expressed at one of three
levels of existence:
At the conscious level of existence
This is
the level within which one recognizes oneself consciously and it is expressed
primarily through tendency to live
the archetype at the best level, through
the need for ambition, will and conscious actions. This means that we contain
within the need expressed through the given planet to make the life story
supporting that planet, to achieve something in its symbolism, which is being
expressed through an emphasized strong ambition.
This is
expressed through the Roman mythology, which gave
designations to all the planets of the solar system. All that is related to the
Roman mythology, and the thing where it significantly differs from the Greek
one, is that it requires a kind of direction, the focus, the need for one
planet to have the strong purpose, sense, ambition, the need to achieve and to succeed.
That is the general level of the Roman civilization, the place where it
significantly differs from the Greek civilization. The Roman civilization has
more of a military direction, it is much more Arian, ram-like. In Roman
civilization there is the emphasized value of the Sun, which is called the
"Unconquered Sun" (Sol Invictus) – the Sun that is
given the status of the absolute value, having the symbolism of exaltation in
the sign of Aries, and the Rome should be seen as a ram-like, lion civilization
with an emphasized need to conquer, unlike the Greece where the Venus story is
the primary one for it gave the greatest contribution to the culture and art, and
because all things and all stories are primarily related to certain affairs,
relationships, relations.
The ideas
of Chronos (Greece) and Saturn (Rome) are significantly different, for Saturn has
unusually positive connotation in Rome – he is the god of agriculture, he
provides the structure, Saturnalias are celebrated, he gives the final justice
and creates the whole western civilization. In Greece, it has pretty heavy
connotation, it is the sign of family karma, of a tragedy, of a problem... it
represents the whole level of relations to something that is not easy, that is
the part of the structure forming the life, that represents the difficulty of
the family karma, the burden left by the father, and by his father (what is
transferred from Uranus to Chronos, and then Zeus). The degree of its being
malefic is significantly different, as well as the fate inevitability in Roman
and Greek story – in Roman one there is the need to consciously rule things, and
everyone has it within, so it is important to assess if the inner Saturn is
Roman or Greek one, i.e. if one should expect Saturn or Chronos from Saturn – whether
Greek or Roman model is present.
The
archetype from Roman mythology is thus primarily connecting one to here and
now, i.e. to the level related to the present incarnation – symbolism of the
sign of Aries and the 1st house.
The inner
model that connects one to the principle of will is the Roman one.
At the subconscious level of existence
This part
of mythological stories is related to the field of various relations, but also
of many plots and great diversity of life events. This is described in the Greek
mythology, which is most often used when trying to understand the
mythology of the planet or the constellation. The mythological tradition at
this level of existence describes very life-like situations in which one often
finds oneself in.
There are
no simple stories here – the most complex stories are the Greek stories with
very complicated mutual relations. All stories are almost always related to
certain affairs, plots, and at the same time this level is the most connected
to everyday life, much more than the Roman one (although we keep using the
Roman names for planets).
The
archetype from Greek mythology primarily relates to what was, i.e. to the level that connects to the previous
incarnation – symbolism of the sign of Pisces and 12th house. This
level speaks of the field of relations, emotions, plots, for this field is finally
the field of exalted Venus – which is typical for the Greek story, unlike the
Rome that is focused on success and interested in the goal, and that is the
reason that the Greek level is the mostly expressed one, especially for it is
the previous incarnation (12), the subconscious filed that is very important to
the person for it strong causative effect.
Although
every planet in the chart may be primarily linked to one of those three
mythological traditions – i.e. may manifest as conscious, subconscious or
unconscious need – the primary myth one has the need to live is the one coming
from the 12th house and materializing in the 2nd house.
Thus, it
is very important to assess the planet that is linked to the 12th house
and that is the most related to the nature of the 2nd house.
At the unconscious level of existence
Stories
originating from Babylon directly arise from Sumer (Mesopotamia), where the
civilization as we know it began. The first myths come from that area and that
time (around 4000 years B.C.E., coinciding with the time of biblical rise of
the first man) – just like astrologers, who were called Chaldeans (Babylonians). That is why it is the basis of everything
we live in this civilization, and by comprehending this mythology it is
possible to see how the inner bases are defined at the very unconscious level.
These stories have the need to be expressed in time, in some way, although the
majority of them got modified through Greek and Roman mythology.
Since the
conception of the person is defined by the 8th house, the primary
symbolism of archetypes in mythology of Babylon (Sumer) is linked to the sign
of Scorpio and the 8th house, implying unconscious and strong energy
models that “survived” from the life before the last and by which it is
possible to heal or which becomes too strong energy that is the burden and the
debt the person carries within. Depending on the position of the given planet
that is linked to the unconscious level of existence, there is the possibility
of exceptional magic abilities, the ability to change things, to heal, for what
comes from that level is very deep and strong, or in the bad position it
implies the debt. Both are very similar – people with the ability to heal
almost always have a kind of debt due to which they can use the ability.
THE MOON MITHOLOGY
Greek and Roman Moon mythology
Luna is
the main model in Roman mythology, but there are other derived archetypes. One
of them is Juno, the other is Diana. In contrast to Roman mythology, the main
model in the Greek one is Selena, but there are also some other derived
archetypes. One is Hera.
Juno in Roman mythology
Juno (Hera in the Greek
mythology) is the main goddess of the Roman mythology. Her name means “vital
force”. Juno was often called “cow-eyed”
because of her big dark eyes. However, that was not pejorative, but very
sophisticated compliment. Juno, however, was not regarded to be a jealous wife,
as Hera was perceived by the Greeks. At the beginning, Juno was regarded as the
protector of the male spirit – Genius, but in the first written sources she is
noted as the protector or goddess of all Roman women. She became one of the
three highest deities. Since Romans regarded themselves as the descendants of
Trojans, they believed that Juno might be hostile to them, so they tried to
calm her by offering great sacrifice and naming her as the protector of the
town of Rome, but she also retained her original role of protector of women.
Since she
is the protector of the town of Rome, women and men, the Moon in Leo is the
most related. This gives the basic force, big eyes – this also corresponds to
the Leo Moon. This model is related to the model of Hera in Greek mythology,
but cleansed from Scorpio characteristics.
In astrological sense, Juno is the Moon in Leo, but
also the strong beneficial aspect with the Neptune and series 12, as well as
with the Saturn.
Series 12
speaks of Juno’s need to protect women. On the other hand, Romans offer her
sacrifices because they are afraid (every fear is 12) and want to calm her, for
she may represent the secret enemy to them, which is again the symbolism of the
12th house.
Hera in Greek mythology
The great
goddess Hera, the wife and sister of the god Zeus, is the goddess of the sky,
protector of marriage and new mothers. She guards the sanctity and
inviolability of marriage; she has always been faithful to her husband. She
punishes infidelity and takes a cruel revenge against her husband’s lovers.
Hera is often shown in gowns with the crown on her head, i.e. the polos (high cylindrical crown worn by most
significant goddesses). Sometimes she is depicted with the pomegranate in her
hand, the emblem of fertile blood and death. Pomegranate is also the ingredient
of the opium potions that are made of poppy.
Hera is
generally very beautiful, but she carries the scorpion in her hand, indicating
the possibility of her revengefulness and strong jealousy. This is typical for
Greek mythology, while Juno in Roman mythology (who corresponds to Hera) does
not have that excessive passion, that level of jealousy.
In astrological sense, Hera is the Moon in Leo, i.e.
Moon linked to a series 8 and Venus.
Hera is
the woman in a strong position, with the supreme god and at the Olympus. She
has the status of a married woman, but she is also linked to the 8th
house for certain passions strongly affect her, while Venus emphasizes her
beauty. She is the protector of new mothers, which also indicates the link to
the 8th house.
The Queen Elizabeth II as the goddess Juno
In the
chart of the British Queen Elizabeth II there is the Moon in Leo in applying
strong conjunction with Neptune, but also the square with the Saturn (the ruler
of 12 – myth). In other words, the conjunction Moon/Neptune is the art of the
fixed T-square that ‘colours’ the Queen Elizabeth II, for there is the
opposition with the Mars/Jupiter conjunction in Aquarius. Jupiter is the ruler
of her 2nd house (materialization of the myth) and it also carries
within the Uranus at 27º Pisces (the degree of Venus’ exaltation), where the
asteroid Hera is positioned in the Queen’s chart. Mars and Saturn are in mutual
reception (Mars is in Aquarius that is traditionally ruled by Saturn, and Saturn
is in Scorpio where the Mars rules). But, although the first association to the
Leo Moon may be the goddess Hera from the Greek mythology, it is more realistic
to use the Roman goddess Juno, for in this chart the Moon is not linked to the
series 8 (the sign of Scorpio, the Pluto), that jealousy part so characteristic
of Hera is missing, and there is the strong conjunction with Neptune and the
link with Saturn, all that requires the presence of the Roman goddess Juno!
Namely, the
asteroid Juno in the chart of the Queen is positioned at 26º Aquarius 40’, and
practically it is the part of her fixed T-square with Saturn (at the same time
the dispositor of her Juno) at 24º Scorpio, being the apex of the T-square, the
key planet everything revolves around in the chart of Elizabeth II. Saturn is
the ruler of her 1st and 12th house and it is positioned
at the cusp of the 10th house (collective unconscious, the way the
society sees her). T-square emphasizes her constant unconscious ’struggle’ to
realize her myth and it is very persuasive – ‘forces’ her to action. The dispositor
of the Leo Moon is the Sun at 0º Taurus, practically leading the Moon to the
terrain of its exaltation (at 3º Taurus the Moon is in exaltation), and into
the wider applying sextile with the Pluto at 13º Cancer (the brightest star in
the skies, Sirius, represents the ’the first one next to head one’ and it is
also called the ‘Guardian of Europe’), and the Pluto is the modern ruler of the Queen’s Saturn
at 24º Scorpio, the key planet in the fixed T-square. So, the Queen have
certainly been realizing Juno in her life, and there is her role of the
‘Guardian of Europe’ that is more than obvious in geopolitical sense (although
she does not share her political views). Saturn is at the same time the
dispositor of the asteroid Juno in the chart of the Queen Elizabeth II, and the
Jupiter too (the ruler of her 2nd house – materialization of the
myth), so the initial challenge of the T-square is resolved in time through
good disposition (through harmonious aspect and transfer of the Moon into the
sign of its exaltation, where it give its best). It should be noted that the Saturn
in Scorpio gets transferred to the sign of its exile (Cancer) through Pluto, so
she allows divorces of her children (Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Charles),
for Saturn (permanence, but also the exalted ruler of the sign of Libra –
marriage) is in detriment in Cancer (family). If the Queen lived the myth of
Hera, she would have insisted as the protector of the marriage that members of
the royal family remain married at any cost! However, Juno is still ‘softer’
than Hera...
In 1945 she
learned to drive when she joined the Army and participated as the driver and
mechanics in Auxiliary Territorial Service. She was trained as "No 230873
Second Subaltern Elizabeth Windsor" and until today she remained the only
female member of the royal family to have served in the military. Today, Elizabeth
II is the only living chief of state to have served in the World War II. Winston
Churchill called her “the great authority” when she was just a girl. The Queen
also enjoys the horse racing and photography.
Duchess Kate and Meghan Markle – Diana and Selene
Selena was the beautiful goddess with white face, the
daughter of the titan Hyperion and Theia, the sister of the sun-god Helios and
the goddess of the down Eos. Selene had the daughter Pandia with Zeus, and
according to some myths her offspring is also the Nemean Lion. Selene was in a
relationship with Pan. The most famous myth is of her love with Endymion. The
beautiful goddess Selene swam in the Ocean every evening, then she dressed in a
shiny dress and travelled to the shepherd Endymion in her silver heaven
chariot. She asked Zeus to put Endymion into eternal sleep so he would stay
eternally young and would never leave her. Every night Selene slid from heaven
to kiss him. Selene had 50 daughters with Endymion.
It is necessary to assess the symbolism on the basis
of this famous story of Selene. The beautiful goddess with white face, the relationship
with Pan, long relation with the shepherd Endymion, numerous children, all
indicating the following:
In astrological
sense, Selene is the Moon in Libra, i.e. the Moon linked to the series 7 and
Venus.
The Libra is the sign of giving the beauty, permanent
relation, and the shepherd (Pan) as the Saturn is exalted in Libra. Selene is
the sister of the sun-god, and if the Sun is 5, then she is the third house
from the 5th house – the 7th house or the Libra.
On the other hand, Selene is depicted as swimming in
the Ocean, in the shiny dress, and she pleaded with Zeus to put Endymion to
eternal sleep, so there is certain connotation of the Moon in Pisces, for it is
the sign of Venus’ exaltation, in aspect with Venus or the 7th house.
In the
chart of Meghan Markle there is the Moon (the ruler of the 1st
house) at 4º Libra, in a strong conjunction with Saturn (the god Pan, here the
ruler of her 7th house) at 5º Libra, and in the sextile with the
Mercury at 5º Leo (the Mercury ‘carries’ Venus at 13º Virgo). In Meghan’s
chart, the asteroid Selene is positioned at 4º Leo, in a conjunction with her
Mercury (the ruler of the 12th house – the myth) in her 1st
house. It is obvious that there is the link of the 1st and 12th
houses, but also needed is the 2nd house (materialization of the
myth). The Sun is at 12º Leo (the position of the Moon of the Queen Elizabeth
II) and it rules the 2nd house in Meghan’s chart, having the
applying aspect with Mercury (the ruler of 12th house – the myth), and
Moon (the ruler of 1st house). So, it is easy for Meghan from the
start to live through the myth of Selene. We should not forget that the Sun is
at the same time the dispositor of her Selene at 4º Leo!
It is
interesting that Prince Harry is Capricorn Ascendant, and that asteroid Selene is positioned at 10°
Capricorn in his chart, in a strong conjunction with Asc at 11º Capricorn, so
that is the explanation for his strong relation to this Greek Moon goddess! Pan
was the god of woods, hunters and shepherds, having the goat legs, horns and a
beard.
The
hunting will be very problematic since Meghan passionately defends animal
rights and does not like any type of hunting. On the other hand, Harry adores
it. But if he has to break the long-lasting royal tradition in order for her to
be happy, he would do it, as reported by the source close to the royal family.
This is a great turning point, especially if taken into account that before the
engagement with Meghan Harry travelled to Germany to hunt wild boars while
Meghan was filming a movie in Canada. Meghan has the Mars (hunting, animals) in
Cancer (detriment for the planet Mars) at 11º, exactly at the Desc of the
Prince Harry, and right across his Asc and asteroid Selene at 10º Capricorn, and
this theme is clearly depicted by that opposition. Also, his Saturn (dispositor
of his Selene at 10º Capricorn) at 12º Scorpio 52’ is in applying square with
the Sun of Meghan at 12º Leo 00’. As I have already mentioned in the previous
text, Meghan’s Sun is the dispositor of her Selene at 4º Leo, so this square in
their synastry also depicts the theme of hunting.
When the
asteroid Selene was discovered, it was positioned at 22º Gemini, the exact
position of the cusp of the 12th house (myth) in the chart of Meghan
Markle!
Selene was called Luna in
Rome, and in Roman mythology she was replaced by Diana, and by Artemis in the
Greek mythology. It is interesting that the myth of Diana is emphasized in the
chart of Duchess Kate, and also that the asteroid Diana was discovered at 3º Libra,
very close to the Moon of Meghan Markle at 4º Libra, which makes sense since in
Roman mythology Diana is a kind of successor of Luna (i.e. Selene from the
Greek mythology)...
Diana
(Artemis in Greek mythology) was the virgin goddess of the hunt, associated
with wild animals and woodland. Later she became the goddess of the Moon,
replacing the goddess Luna, and she was also the symbol of chastity. Diana was
much adored by the lower layers of citizens and by slaves; slaves could receive
asylum in her temples. Diana remained the important character in some modern
mythologies. Masons regard her as the symbol of imagination, sensitivity and
creative madness of poets and artists. She is still worshipped by women belonging
to the cult of “Diana’s sorceress”.
She is
the protector of slaves, provides the asylum, and relates to wild animals, she
is important with Masons… – all this indicating the nature of Piscean Moon.
Artemis is
ore related to Sagittarius arising from Scorpio (the prey becoming the hunter),
while Diana has more subtle characteristics of the Moon, so she is more linked
to Pisces, and the ruler of Pisces are both Jupiter and Neptune, speaking of
relatedness of those two archetypes, although Artemis is a bit more harsh, more
difficult to accept, more rural, rough, while Diana has the sense of nature,
the need to protect.
In astrological sense, Diana is the Piscean Moon or
Moon in 12th house, with the aspect with Mars and Jupiter.
Duchess Kate has the Moon at 18º
Cancer, in 12th house (myth), opposing the Sun (the ruler of 1st
house) at 19º Capricorn, and all that in a T-square with Saturn/Pluton conjunction
the midpoint of which is at 24º Libra 30’, while the midpoint of her Mars and
Jupiter (that participate in the myth of Diana) is at 23º Libra 52’, in
conjunction with the asteroid Diana in her chart. It is interesting that the
late Princess Diana, the mother of Prince William, has the MC (reputation)
exactly at 23º Libra, and she may be the ’carrier’ for Kate when speaking of
the myth of Diana. The Saturn is important planet in Kate’s chart for it is
dispositor of her Sun (the ruler of 1st house), but also her Mercury
(the ruler of 2nd house – materialization of the myth). T-square, as
I have already explained in the case of Queen Elizabeth II, always encourages
the action. Kate feels no lightness on the road of materialization of the myth
of Diana, but there is the strong unconscious need to get into all that, and
the January Saturn/Pluton conjunction at 22º Capricorn (as well as the January
lunar eclipse at 20º Cancer) will ’open’ the road to transform and release some
energy.
Conclusion:
Although any planet in the chart may be primarily
linked to one of those three mythological traditions – may be expressed as the
conscious, subconscious and unconscious need – the primary myth one has the
need to live comes from 12th house and materializes in 2nd
house.
That is why it is of the utmost importance to assess
the planet linked to 12th house and the most related to the nature
of 2nd house, for if the material carrier (2) is significantly
different there may appear serious problem in realization and living of the
right story.
The whole story of mythology is actually the story on
the law of cause and consequence, and the mythology is studied with the aim of
knowing the flows of rivers one follows, where they lead to, and that is the
destiny, the flow of destiny leading the person.
Out of those three inner levels, the Roman level is
the one that the least accepts the fate, and it is mostly expressed in
consciousness as the need to do something, even the tiniest bit (influence of
the conscious will on the flow of fate). So, knowing the model, the archetype,
and the planets acting from this level, it is possible to know where one goes
and what may be changed in some way. The story at this level is less tragic,
less demanding in the sense of emotional needs that determine the person.
The mythological trinity represents the trinity within
at the level of three lives, the present one, the previous and the one before
the previous - not the present, past and future ones, which is typical when
speaking of personal integration, for personal integration is not achieved by
fulfilling the myth – the myth is only the direction things go. If the story
from 12th house is realized through 2nd house and one
starts living his need, there is no enlightenment, one only becomes strong
enough and happy, fulfilled by the living and being happy about it, with the
sense of strong personality and self-value.
