Muses?

[cat]

I have heard about something called the 9 Muses and I wanted to know their names and what they rule over. They do rule over things, don't they?

I assume they are asteroids so that is why I put this thread here. Feel free to move if in the wrong place!

I look forward to the answers!

Thank you! That article made sense. So in the chart could it tell what kind of dancer, singer, proclaimer, etc. you are and how you express your inner muses, right?

Cat, Kim wrote this about the Muses, using Erato as an example...

"And, here is an excerpt from my 'Astrology & Aptitude' book to give you some ground on Erato:"

The Muses

The Muses were once deities of Spring. Like Nymphs, they were
worshiped near lakes, waterfalls and sacred pools. Slowly they
changed to demigoddesses, presiding over memory and then poetic
and artistic inspiration. They were most noted for their choir and for
their songs. They also had the gift of prophesy. Hesiod said they
knew “what is, what was and what will be”. He describes their
voices as bewitching, something that pleased their father Zeus immensely.

Being a muse is a real job to this day. Fashion designers employ
them for inspiration. These employees are always women and their
sole purpose is to float around and smile, and sigh and enthuse and
encourage. They are beautiful, graceful and often have flowing hair
and soft eyes. Sometimes they indicate a design or piece that
pleases them by drawing little hearts next to it. Yes, it’s a real job
and apparently well paid. The personification of the Muses is a
wonderful creative motivation. It awakens the soul to act.

When a Muse asteroid is placed in close aspect to a personal
planet or point, the nature of her attributes may be passed on to the
native. Certainly, exploring the academic or artistic themes suggested
by the Muse would bring a feeling of enthusiasm and fulfillment.

62 Erato is the muse of poetry, particularly love sonnets and
erotic (transformational) themes. She is also known for mimicry
and impersonations. Actress Vivian Leigh (Gone With the Wind) had
asteroid Erato exact on her natal Sun in Scorpio in the sixth house.

Novelist John Steinbeck had asteroid Erato conjunct his North Lunar
Node and the Moon in Scorpio. Poet W.B. Yeats had Erato in
Aquarius conjunct his natal Moon.

Let us know what you think!

How are they the same? How are they different? How do they seem to manifest in your own life?

Wow, that's really interesting.
I found out that I have Erato conj. Neptune in the 3h Cappy and has a tighter conj. to the IC than Neptune does. It's squared to my sun (12h) and ASC in Libra.
Maybe this can do well with writing romance/mystery short stories.

Thank you again!
