What’s Athena Afshari’s Dominant Astrological Sign?

You stride through the city, your armor clanking and your spear held high. Aries, the god of war, is with you, and you feel alive and powerful. You feel alive and powerful because Aries is with you.

Mars, the god of war, is with you too. Mars is the god of aggression and male domination. Mars makes you feel angry and destructive. But you can control yourself. You can control yourself because you are the goddess Athena Afshari.

Jupiter is the planet of luck and success. It is also the planet of social prominence, professional prestige, and high political position.

Jupiter has a much vaster significance psychologically. As the biggest planet in the solar system, it does preside over the process of personal expansion, interpreted to be fitting into society better and finding an appropriate match between one’s individual ambitions and the aspirations of the group. This growth is accompanied by a feeling of self-confidence, which, in turn, buoys up an even greater externalization and expansion of the ego – hence the planet’s flattering reputation.

But this snowball effect (Jupiter smiles and the world smiles with you), in which social skills magnify confidence and boldness reaps many rewards, betrays the negative side of Jupiter: extreme and excess. Although grandeur was the characteristic of the “king of the gods,” errors of judgment, poor taste, and sometimes selfishness and pride are also likely to be part of the Jupiterian package.

It is important to note that the extension of the ego may be a form of escape; it is tempting to hide behind one’s popularity and social success, which are fairly easy to obtain, rather than be really demanding with oneself. The Jupiterian has a tendency to amplify qualities out of compensation, to avoid seeing weaknesses and flaws. As a result, you must be aware of the risk of over-identifying with your social mask, which would cause you to neglect your inner self and deep nature.

As the heart of the solar system and the gravitational center of the travels of the earth and the other planets, the sun is the primordial light, the source of all warmth and life. From the dawn of humanity, it has been worshipped. It has symbolized the absolute power kings and despots yearn for and emulate. The sun king, the nucleus of society, embodied a principle of cohesion and harmony. Various subordinates—aka planets—revolved around it. In terms of psychological symbolism, the sun corresponds to the center of an individual, the factor that rules your psyche. Its luminous aspects are usually associated with knowledge and consciousness. As a creator of life, it is related to the image of the mother and the influence of motherhood on an individual’s consciousness and ideals. As a result, the sun’s position in a birth chart always indicates the way in which an individual will relate to your goals and ideals, what your ambitions and aspirations might involve. A person whose chart is strongly “solar” usually identifies very positively with motherhood. Your personality is friendly, energetic, and creative, with high ideals and a firm determination to accomplish them. You take your own superiority and authority over others for granted, and you have a natural ability to command the attention and admiration of an audience. You are a born leader who enjoys being in the limelight and may behave somewhat theatrically or with dramatic exaggeration. You have definite artistic leanings. The sense of your ideals is evident to you and may lead you to be somewhat self-focused. If ill-directed, your deep aspirations may lead to such faults as egotism, selfishness, or greediness for power.

Athena Afshari, you should note that the eighth house is an area of the sky which is especially important in your theme, because it contains several planets, including the one which rules your rising sign.

According to tradition, the sign of Scorpio is associated with death, metamorphosis, and sexuality. The themes of these things are emphasized in this house because it is related to partnerships–both within the context of marriage and business partnerships. The three factors essential to a successful partnership are trust, management, and responsibility. A partnership without trust is dangerous, and only when trust is established can cooperative activity yield profit. The next step is managing the profit (or loss) resulting from the cooperative enterprise: sharing it out equally between the partners, or re-investing it in view of making the enterprise more profitable. The responsibility of the manager (and any participant who is a co-manager) is obviously engaged, because it would be unethical for you to keep any of the wealth generated by the group’s activities for your own personal benefit. It is also important to be responsible not to flee in case of difficulty. Finally, sexuality is an asset or resource of the couple. If sexual problems arise, it is usually due to a loss of mutual confidence, mismanagement of the physical and psychological exchange, or an insufficient sense of duty on the part of one of the partners. As a result, it is important for you to become truly conscious of what is at stake in your partnerships. This will require evaluating the wealth you acquire as a result of your relationships and measuring the power conferred upon you by your participation in intimate, social, or professional relationships.

The second house is an area of the sky which is especially important in your theme. This is because it relates to the themes of health, wealth, and career.
