494 Virtus *power, exellence, bravery, virtuosity, strength*

[Lionessmind]

Hi ☆


This article is from : THE ROMAN CONCEPT OF FIDES, @http://www. csun.edu > ~hcfll004 > f...

 Is text only

VIRTUS, for the Roman, does not carry the same overtones as the Christian 'virtue'. But like the Greek andreia, VIRTUS has a primary meaning of 'acting like a man' (vir) [cf. the Renaissance virtù ), and for the Romans this meant first and foremost 'acting like a brave man in military matters'. virtus was to be found in the context of 'outstanding deeds' (egregia facinora), and brave deeds were the accomplishments which brought GLORIA ('a reputation'). This GLORIA was attached to two ideas: FAMA ('what people think of you') and dignitas ('one's standing in the community'). The struggle for VIRTUS at Rome was above all a struggle for public office (honos), since it was through high office, to which one was elected by the People, that a man could best show hi smanliness which led to military achievement--which would lead in turn to a reputation and votes. It was the duty of every aristocrat (and would-be aristocrat) to maintain the dignitas which his family had already achieved and to extend it to the greatest possible degree (through higher political office and military victories). This system resulted in a strong built-in impetus in Roman society to engage in military expansion and conquest at all times.

My Virtus is on 11th house in Taurus 9° 34   *(Sidereal Virtus Aries 15° 20')
Virtus conjuct DNA 0° 20'
Virtus square Sun 2° 44'
Virtus square Fortuna 1° 47'
Virtus trine Mercury 0° 13'
Virtus trine Uranus 0° 54'
Virtus trine Pluto 3° 18'
Virtus trine Kaali 0° 56'
Virtus trine Hekate 0° 50'

P.S Is no need to interpret all aspects. Only the interesting one.

this is hilarious! Apparently VIRTUS is another asteroid EXACT on my IC (4 Aries), along with Aura, Gaea and I think Compassion is close as well as Alma.

[Ava]

In my location it says you posted this 4 hours ago. At that time, transiting Virtus was exactly conjunct transiting moon @ 16 Taurus.

Thanks for the thread Lionessmind . Your Virtus trine Mercury, Uranus, Kaali, and Hekate looks very strong, inventive, sparkly.

Love your Virtus aspects, lumina ...looks like, fighting for what is right, from the heart (IC).

I haven't checked where mine is...

K, it's @ 21 Gem Rx, conjunct my (very slow) progressed Mars, quincunx my Scorpio NN.

[Lionessmind]

Hi Ava .

Thank you! For your very good interpretation. 🌼

Really I forget:

My Virtus square Psyche 1° 58
Virtus square Angel 1° 31'
Virtus trine Philosophia 1° 44'
And, Virtus trine Fides 3° 20'

And your Virtus, what aspects have, Ava , except your quinqunx with NN? It is a little bit stressful, I think.

Hi lumina ,

thank you too, realy nice your aspects with Virtus,  you are ecologist, i think, and really sensitive for our Earth, and everything is living on. You fight from your heart, indeed, you are a crusader of light!

I don't have any third decan planets, just Chiron @ 23 Aries, sextile to Virtus. Also if my chart's correct Virtus is conjunct my antivertex. No idea what that means.

There's an overall theme of reluctance to fight // feeling duty-bound to fight for causes, in my chart and in my life.

- Sun is tightly quincunx Mars; I inherited this aspect from my mother
- My Mars is retrograde (reluctant), but out of bounds (revved up)
- Mars rules my MC if my chart is correct
- Mars in a t-square with my Pisces moon and Neptune...if that's not a recipe for indecision, I don't know what is!

Thanks for your invitation to explore this.

Hi Ava😄you are welcome!

Thank you very much for your responce! From my begining in Astrogarden I feel you are in my side! Thanks for that, my dear!

Any way, Chiron sextile Virtus, perhaps means opportunities to heal your power.

And after heal the power of others, or both.

I think you feel some wound there, that as like somehow, as life gives to you hard lessons about power and exellence. But, you are brave.

Square Moon/Mars/Neptune? Mmmmmmmm! Frustration, and illusion, and reaction!

And, of course, indecision. Try to be organized, and to live in now.

I wish to help!

Hi Lionmind, 

it`s the asteroid of my first name. If there is an asteroid that is either the same as your name or close in pronounciation, look it up, I find that sometimes the results they give are quite astonishing.

That sounds really lovely. Thank you. I am probably not the most fightful in this regard, but I do care about these things and try to do my best. And sometimes I can feel the earth beneath my feet. Just a curious tidbit, but it seems my mom and me have been able to "feel" very very small earthquakes, when everyone sais that they are not detectable by normal human senses, but if we both get the feeling that there was something "rumbling underneath" and the "ground felt shaky", usually it is not simply us being dizzy (though this happens too. lol), but if we feel it simultaneiously, often later it shows that there was a mini earthquake around that time. So in this way I guess there is some connection to the earth for me (and her).

That would be nice!

I have had hard lessons and maybe some abilities arising from those experiences, yes.

That's great advice and what I'm going for.

Thanks!

Ava, I feel so glad to help you 😄

Hi Lionessmind , thanks for introducing this asteroid. I have Virtus conjunct my Asc.  

Could you please provide a link to another site to show where you got a quote from. If it is from a book, then please mention the name of the book. If you do not do this, it violates intellectual property rights.  

[Lionessmind]

Hey midnight 😄

This asteroid means as I write in title, and yet courage!

And you have trine your Mars, with Moon, Jupiter and Virtus!

Thus, you are powerful and bright, and you have very much strength in your feelings.

💖

[Lionessmind]

Hi @astrokeen 😄

Look above in the begining of the post

[vg]

13 deg Sag in my 2nd house sextiles my natal ceres. It doesn't really do anything other than that, but is 2 degrees away from my progressed South Node - maybe will get activated when my progressed SN hits it?

[Lionessmind]

Hi vg 😊

You have opportunities, to look after very dynamic to help and nurture yourself and others. You teach them to live with their principles and to be trully to their selves.

With progressed South Node.....I do not, maybe.... memories from past lifes!

[Lionessmind]

Oh, @astrokeen

I forget: Virtus conjuct Ascendant? Every begining of yours is powerful, full of exellence and bright!
