Several biographies of Sappho claim she had both male and female lovers, but since her work is left to us in fragments, we may never know. In Victorian times, it was thought that one of her poetic fragments pointed toward suicide by jumping off a cliff due to a man who slighted her affections, but in modern times the thought is that that is not what happened. Biographers are fairly certain she was an educator of young women, and may ahve fallen in love with one or more of her students.As I mentioned earlier, my Sappho is at 28 Gemini in the 8th, the exact midpoint of my Sun and Venus. I have founded three arts' organizations, the first, a consortium of 4 female singing teachers who have pioneered the art and science of team voice teaching since 1987, the second, a women's chorus at a community music school, and the 3, a singing school for middle school and high school girls, based on the Venetian Ospedali of the 18th and 19th centuries. (music schools for girls who were in orphanages.)
For those of you who have followed my saga with C, his first name asteroid is conjunct my Sappho, and all you have to do is look up the Eros and Marriage thread to find out what that means!!! Also, interesting, because he was an adult music student of mine.
I am honored to be in such artistic company, and in the company of those who have founded other organizations!!!
Blessings,
Amoroso
