Any thoughts on this "rediscovered" asteroid and its meaning in the birth chart? Hermes, the ancients knew as Thoth, is credited with writing over 20,000 books, including the "manual" for alchemy and discovering astrology, according to one source I read. Here is an astronomical link, showing he may be a binary asteroid: www.space.com/scienceastronomy/hermes_binary_031021.htmlLike Venus/Aphrodite, Jupiter/Zeus, one wonders what the smaller bodies symbolize. That they have meaning is not really a question. It's just the "what." I am sorry to be such a forum hog the past two days. Will go back to posting blurbs and lurking tomorrow! Blessings, Amoroso |

Lurk and post, and enjoy! I get the feeling in every "forum hog" is a wonderful contribution  (I hope Kim agrees with me  The asteroid "Antiope" was also a binary asteriod, although one of the smallest. But keeping with the Hermes theme, I noted my Hermes was placed in Capricorn in my 8th house a while back, but wondered how it related to things, being that I don't really have that much in Capricorn (save for an opposition to the asteroid Lillith to my first house Stelium from the 7th) and that it is one of the least aspected things I have in my chart as far as personal points and planets goes.. but I could be mistaken. Hermes did move freely between the "Underworld" and the "Heavens"... I suppose the Capricorn influence makes him solidly embedded in the 8th house energies.. who can say? thanks for being a "forum hog", blessings to everyone svenskasfinx |

my hermes is 6 capricorn in the 3rd, 3 minutes from jupiter. square venus/ASC/pallas/pluto and square chiron.
the first thing i think of: i'm working on fleshing out the archetype an asteroid i can't find any info on (i've decided not to say much about it until more work is done), and have been having some doubts about my process - it's all intuition. the chart and text research i've been doing is for confirmation, but the bulk of the work has come from opening up my (brain's) satellite dish, asking leading & successively deeper questions, and keeping pen and paper handy for when answers come. before i did that, though, i would wake up well before my alarm with a note to write down and not go back to sleep, having the mind already up for the day. it was going to come through one way or another, and i was ready to sleep enough again.

Hog away! All these contributions are interesting, diverse and most welcome!
My Hermes is a 27 Pisces in the 8th. I get very foggy when I attempt to contemplate him!

Hey all, I'm slow at reading these threads!  My Hermes is in Sagittarius in the sixth house. It's conjunct my Uranus (also in Sag) and semi-sextile my sun and inconjunct my moon. Guess that's why I get bored so easily. ;D Aren't Hermes and Mercury kind of the same thing or similar? I remember reading somewhere they are. |

hi jade - yes, that's my DSC/chiron, 13 aries. so it's also a jupiter/saturn thing with you and me. maybe we do have some kind of connection having to do with those times. i just went to look at your chart again and the astro.com serve is down.
the more i learn about thoth the more i relate to him - the messenger/scribe who doesn't take sides (& so in various ways serves each side, unconcerned about the details of the moment because he's working from within the big picture), who pops up when is needed/useful but is otherwise not on the radar...who seems to get away with a fair amount of mischief.

Hermes for me is 20 Aquarius around the right side of MC I have been told by any psychics I get near that I was one of those nasty alchemist priests who caused the fall of Atlantis which is not as nastyand big a deal as it sounds as there were thousands and thousands of them it seems [and was told I had been living out victim lives to cope with a guilt - I am not know though It is trine my Uranus and close to my Urania The more I understand my chart the more I feel like packing it in and taking up Charismatic Christianity or some other less confronting activity But I guess I won't...................................................
