100 Hekate, by Jewel Mayberry

[Ava]

Asteroid Hekate #100 is a Goddess of the Moon and very special influence in the birth chart.

Hekate is where we go for answers and seek direction when we are lost. This is an ancient Goddess that has morphed in myth over time. In Wicca, Hekate is the archetypal maiden, woman and crone in one. The Goddess of magic. The Goddess of knowing. The Goddess of birth, mating and death. She is deeply female. Known for ushering those who died and entered into the underworld, Hekate was the one who lit the way in the dark with her lantern and dared to go where no one else would. She was both in the know and brave as Heck- ate ( I am seriously sorry, I could NOT help it! This woman knew what others did not and it was revealed in the dark of Hades, the equivalent of the unconscious. Hekate stood at the crossroads of the living and the dead.

As the gatekeeper of the underworld, this Goddess was the one every soul looked to when they lay on the shady side of death. She existed in between worlds as the one who could unite the light with the dark, the living with the dead. She was relied upon to properly negotiate what could not be seen. Hekate showed the way when no one else could.

In a birth chart, this asteroid shows where we can go to find answers. The direction we need to take is pointed to by Hekate. This entity can show us how we can become secure enough to rely on our own decisions and display the bravery to make our own choices. Intuition is also a facet of this asteroid, as Hekate is the emissary between the conscious and the unconscious mind. This Goddess trusts her feelings entirely and gives no credence to logic. This asteroid shows where our deepest self trust lies and can be developed.

Hekate by sign and aspect will tell you where your gifts of deep knowing, trust and magic lie. How you can approach your own higher self for help is pointed to by this asteroid. My Hekate is in the 12th house in Leo directly opposite to Lilith and Fortuna in the 6th house in Aquarius. When I need answers, seek a deeper knowing, do not know where to turn, I need to go to my own deeper mind (12 th house)and trust my own instincts (Leo) even if it seems ego driven to do so. Being self assured enough (Lilith) to make that intuitive leap in my daily life (6 th house) and live on a higher plane while using the gifts of the the unconscious (12 the house) will keep me in touch with my own sense of knowing and bring rewards (Fortuna). Hekate hides in the unconscious in my chart and I must make a daily effort (6th house) to keep in touch with her so I can can have the confidence to assert (Lilith) my beliefs, no matter how illogical or instinctual (Leo). See? Interpretation is by aspect, house and sign."

Interesting find. I have it in the 4th/Leo.Can it be that I find my path to the higher self through patience and quiet?

[Ava]

Hekate is transiting @ 14.21 Gemini today, conjunct my Mars. No wonder I felt like talking about it?

---

Natally I have:

6.35 Scorpio Uranus, 4H
6.42 Scorpio Hekate, 4H
6.35 Sag Venus, 5H

Mentioning Venus because the orb is so tight, I suppose there is a cross-influence here.

Same here. Yes, that's her opinion......does that fit for you?

The only time I'm really alone is when I take long walks by myself, and I try to do that every day. Nothing dramatic happens during these walks...

A maternal figure that I could rely on was not part of my upbringing .

I do feel like my well-being depends on being able to have this quiet time, even if my thoughts are nothing to write home about.

I love this sentence. I do need some time alone as well even if it makes no sense to anybody else.

I like the article, and I like Hekate. Those are some cool aspects you have, Ava --in addition to your progressed chart! I like this for you (just me personally), and I like the fact that this forum in particular seems to really allow all of us to talk about our experiences and abilities openly, and discover things about ourselves that we were maybe only unconsciously aware of before.

I have Hekate at 0 Virgo, conjunct Regulus on the cusp of my 1st/2nd houses, and trine my MC, sextile my IC by about twenty minutes.

Those are the only noticeable aspects I have with her that are under 1 degree. The other aspects are around 1 degree, and are trines or oppositions, so I'm not sure how tight of an orb I need to use for those.

Using less than 2 degrees (or around 1 degree), Hekate in my chart is sextile my Uranus and opposite my Apollo and "mean" BML at around 1-2 Pisces, respectively. My Uranus is around 2 Scorpio, but the conjunction may add to that, I'm not sure.

I mostly try to look at tight conjunctions or tight aspects with asteroids, although I do suspect that the orbs with conjunctions could easily be wider than the generally accepted orbs.

Hekate in Virgo is fitting for me, I do need solitude as you both have mentioned. It's an absolute requirement for me, sometimes to the dismay of my family. It usually includes working outside in the dirt with plants and herbs in particular, so that I can use those herbs for either teas or tinctures, and infusing oils, etc. It also requires reading in a quiet space. I also have a serious aversion to noise (unfortunately, as my son and husband are two of the loudest people I've ever met in my life...nothing to do but add a facepalm to that one, heh). When I need truth, I meditate in a quiet space. I listen. 

Anyway, Hekate is good. Thank you for the article!

[lumina]

I am glad someone sees Hekate the way I do. Or at least similiarly (Ami was driving me up the walls with her shadow-evil-bla-bla-nunsense in terms of this).

Hekate is gatekeeper and guiding light. (of course also guiding us into the night/ depth/subconsciousness).


Anyway Ava, our Hekates are sextile each other.

Violets,

except for working int he garden I can relate. The thing is I love nature, I love being among trees to find quiet (esp. oak trees), but I am just no gardener. lol

[Violets]

lumina, I am definitely no gardener, lol. I pull weeds, harvest herbs and dry them in the sun, etc but a green thumb is not what I have!

I prefer the things that already grow of their own accord, like dandelions, violets, roses, raspberry leaves, and that type of thing. Those all grow wild here or are commonly found in gardens. Mint family plants are always nice to have as well, as they're hardy and will take over, and I don't have to concern myself unduly with remembering to water them! My husband is the grower. I'm the person digging our garden space with a pickax, weeding and tilling the soil, and insisting that no trees or bushes are taken out or cut down unless absolutely necessary. Because I'm the Lorax, lol. 😅

[Violets]

But yes... Nature in general. One good reason we're preparing to sell our lovely suburbia home (it's truly beautiful inside with so much natural wood everywhere, and the wood vaulted ceilings I will unfortunately never get around to dusting properly)--and live in an RV on my family property. Quiet and nature. ❤🌷❤

[Ava]

Thanks for your reply, Violets .

Do you feel that your Hekate is more of a first or second house energy, if you read the interpretations at Jewel's site?

I'm thinking of the spiritual cleansing solution you mentioned on another thread and how fitting that is for Virgo Hekate.

I like the trine/sextile with your IC/MC axis. I like that you and your husband are interested in spiritual topics (Hekate aspecting IC) and that you are comfortable expressing these interests in public (Hekate-MC).

Wow! So Hekate is right in the middle of things for you, too!

That sounds SO FUN!

Good luck!!! <3

We just put our country property up for sale yesterday.

[Violets]

Ava, omg that's beautiful. Ours is mostly pasture in the back with a creek, and I think about 25 acres split between my mom, who now lives in the house she grew up in, and my aunt and uncle's properties, where they had their own homes built. There's a creek in the back, but as the town grows the front yard now has a sidewalk and a roundabout in front of it...but we'll be in the back by the pasture.

I haven't looked much at asteroids with my Hekate, other than the basic list that Astro offers.

Circe seems to play a more significant role in my chart, which is fine by me, lol.

I'll have to look further into the descriptions of the house placements, but she's just in my 2nd house, and I'm pretty sure my birth time is accurate...

[Ava]

Your place sounds really nice and I hope you are happy there!

My kids already miss being in the country.

I have Circe at 28 Aqua, conjunct my progressed sun @ 27 Aqua. I've never really known what that one is about. Something else to research.

[Violets]

I didn't mean to hit a nerve, Ava. I'm sorry you had to sell the country house. For what it's worth, half my maternal family are judgmental conservative types, and my mom is actually more impossible and dysfunctional than my husband and I could ever think of being, so this will be...interesting, lol. And I have a year of T Uranus squaring my natal Mars, while it comes close to squaring both my mom's luminaries. Fun times, I can bet.

But I think it will be worth it in the long run.

[Ava]

Oh, not at all Violets. I am really happy for your family, and I hope it works out beautifully for you all.

We had our idyllic times already, I cannot complain.

"Does that elicit a Hekate-Venus type of response? "
More a: Aww, how cute! response. Does not sound like Hekate though. lol




"I did believe it has something to do with witchcraft.....not necessarily evil, but possibly evil, if a person wants to channel it that way. I will have to research more. "
I am pretty sure, too, it has to do with witchcraft. But like you said, witchcraft (like power) in itself is neutral. it depends on how a person is using it.

I seem to sometimes subconsciously do some witchcraft, usually in the form of mental, I don`t even know what that is. But I`ve noticed that my thoughts, if accompanied with a certain "feel", can in some way manifest, usually not deliberately, and sometimes not like I would expect them to. But I have to be a bit careful. I often feel I do not have the luxury to "curse" people even inside my mind, for that reason.

But maybe it is not so much my thoughts having "manifestation power" (only sometimes, only in weird ways, nothing too huge), but that I pick up subconsciously on something that is going to happen anyway?





" think it was an energy "window" that I sensed was open (transits/progressions) and I seized the moment. "
Yes, those energy/ time windows play a big role I think.

I don`t think I ever did a real spell, but I did once wrote down a prayer (for some reason after some guided visionary meditation of what that was) right around Halloween (when I did not even know that it was Samhain. lol) and for some reason the prayer came out in Latin, and it was so strange, how it just came up, and I was saying it in my mind for several days, everytime after dawn - this was a coincidence! I did not have a clue what I was doing. It is not like I had a Wicca manual at home, usually such things come up for me and later I find out that apparently they are sort of "modified rituals". lol


I can share that prayer, it really was just putting down an intention, I think, unintentioinally almost. (and at that time I was at far from myself, from my spirituality as could be! I was almost a cynical at that time)

Dea Magna, virgo, mater, anus
in mea et in omnibus.

Da oculos ut videam
Da aures ut audiam
Da sensus ut sentiam

Unum annum videam
Unum annum audiam
Unum annum sentiam
quod in mundo et pone id est.

Dea magna
abduce me in rerum naturas
et
reduce me in m`anima
ut cognoscam Mea!

Dea magna
luce comple noctem quaerendi animi!

Translation:

Great Goddess, virgin, mother and crone
in me and in all that is.

Give me eyes so I can watch
Give me ears so I can listen
Give me senses so I can sense

One year I will watch
one year I will listen
one year I will sense
what is in this world and beyond.

Great Goddess
lead me into the nature of things
and
lead me back into my own soul
so that I can recognize what is mine/ belongs to me (I think I wanted to say; what is: Me- but somehow I made a mistake in Latin. lol)

Great Goddess
with light fill the night of this searching mind!


A year later my life had completely changed. Life had led me back to astrology, a renewed interest, which I had given up almost completely some years ago, it made me write a lot of stuff (poetry but more so stories) and it brought the DVD of Jesus Christ Superstar into my life, which was such a tremendous life changing event for me.
I may not have been aware back then, but that 12th february 2001 was like there were two paths in life for me, and that day I apparently chose one of those.
It was a little event, but that set things in motion that I can still feel the consequences of, as I am living them right now. lol

Hmm maybe I should look up my transit for that day. lol



But that was really the only time I did something that came near of doing a spell, as I am a bit cautious of the spell-thing. Maybe because I experience almost on a daily basis how powerful the mental sphere can be, and how real its energy can get?
