19 Fortuna

[Lionessmind]

Hi😄



Fortuna was the goddess of fortune, luck and fate in Roman mythology. Fortuna could bestow good or bad luck onto people. She was sometimes represented veiled and blind. She was a daughter of Jupiter and like him, she could also be bountiful and generous to everybody.

Greek equivalent Tyche

Fortuna (Latin: Fortūna, equivalent to the Greek goddess Tyche) is the goddess of fortune and the personification of luck in Roman religion who, largely thanks to the Late Antique author Boethius, remained popular through the Middle Ages until at least the Renaissance. The blindfolded depiction of her is still an important figure in many aspects of today's Italian culture, where the dichotomy fortuna / sfortuna (luck / unluck) plays a prominent role in everyday social life, also represented by the very common refrain "La [dea] fortuna è cieca" (latin Fortuna caeca est; "Luck [goddess] is blind").



Fortuna is often depicted with a gubernaculum (ship's rudder), a ball or Rota Fortunae (wheel of fortune, first mentioned by Cicero) and a cornucopia (horn of plenty). She might bring good or bad luck: she could be represented as veiled and blind, as in modern depictions of Lady Justice, except that Fortuna does not hold a balance. Fortuna came to represent life's capriciousness. She was also a goddess of fate: as Atrox Fortuna, she claimed the young lives of the princeps Augustus' grandsons Gaius and Lucius, prospective heirs to the Empire.[1] (In antiquity she was also known as Automatia.)[2]

In terms of transit, this year is very profound in my case. My friend gave me an early birthday present, but I didn't have time to open it until it was past midnight in April 26th at 1:30 AM. I remember, I felt very very lucky. My friend gave me a new phone and merchandise of my favorite musicians!

Thanks for the thread Lionessmind .

I'm thinking hard about this one.

I have a sun-Mars-Fortuna yod. Sun at the apex is tightly conjunct Tyche. 15° Leo Fortuna is conjunct Apollo, Asbolus, Starr, and Lachesis. Aries Jupiter aspects all of this.

Re: Asbolus

* Mark Andrew Holmes associates Asbolus with extreme, harsh rhetoric -- Malcolm X.

* Here's another interpretation: "Asbolus is noted as indicating persons able to tap into the zeitgeist, or 'spirit of the times,' those who have their finger on the pulse of events and trends, able to anticipate the future. Often their advice or input is rejected, as being ahead of its time. They have strong intuition and may possess psychic gifts."

I suppose, when I was younger, I went through a phase of self-righteous intolerance. LEO Asbolus. And that was coupled with cynicism towards the reigning institutions and so on...in my vision of the future, these institutions would increasingly betray the people. So there is that potential for sounding "shrill," which MAH noted.

Lachesis determines the lifespan. I can see myself being this "Asbolus" way my entire life. Born into Catholicism, I remember assembling the mental framework for abandoning the Church, starting when I was very young. "I disagree with this, I'm not going to budge on that point, it's absolutely not making sense for me." (Lachesis trine fight-for-my-beliefs Aries Jupiter).

Apollo, I see that as strength...fuel on the fire. Starr is maybe a destiny-issue, "Hey I'm just following my north star."

Anyway by sticking to my beliefs, I met my husband. He and I are alike, when it comes to the cynicism. (And thank God, or we would drive each other crazy, especially through Covid.)

My husband provides material security. My Fortuna on his sun-Mars midpoint. But Fortuna is quincunx my sun-Tyche. I really just don't care how people regard me. I've had money, and no desire to showcase anything. I'm suspicious of people who treat me differently once they realize my situation, and it's not something I would normally even think to explain about myself, but it was unavoidable when we divided our time between our home and large country property and....yeah I don't feel like explaining this.

But I think that matches my yod.

Please don't quote, I'm on the fence about leaving this up.
