The bareback rider is not showing off; rather he is testing his audacity so to keep alive his courageous spirit. The problems of a modern life need not trouble us if we learn to behave with such a carefree, assured disposition.

Coping with the immediate world of our experience is totally within our ability, in fact we each have the capacity to master situations at all points. This may well require that we become audacious at times in order to overcome a stagnation of vision and confidence – which leads to capitulation and reluctant acceptance of imposed constraints.

We are exactly designed to be a perfect fit for all we encounter – although in fact the reverse is a more appropriate way to see this – our circumstances are made for us, and no-one else, because we, and no-one else, are the best person to deal with them.

The special functions in life with which we engage need to be faced with uncompromising courage and undiminished skills. What at first may seem daunting and beyond our reach, is instead to be seen as the next stage of our evolutionary journey. We must rise to the task at hand.

Nothing is beyond our reach when we approach life like this. We have the ability to capitalise on every opportunity, to potentially bring form to our aspirations and achieve the goals we set ourselves.

We are not static beings, dead and having no room for expansion. We are constantly in the process of self-refinement and we may expect to improve, provided we overcome an intemperate desire for self-display and applause.

Without becoming irresponsibly inadequate in coping with our adult duties and aspirations, it is a question of finding the best way of allowing the wild side of us an appropriate degree of audacious freedom.

Not only is the word image for Leo 23 a direct reference to horseback riding, 'desultory' derives from the Latin, 'desultorius' meaning 'leaping in special reference to circus performers who jump from horse to horse.

'Desilire', to jump down, and 'salire', to jump also lie at the heart of desultory. The family of words commonly used today that spring from these roots include 'somersault' , 'sally', 'salient'.

If you have a placement in leo 23, you may well exhibit a manner of leaping from topic to topic (Mercury especially) or a knack for wandering aimlessly, or appearing to do so. Giving a public presentation, for example, may be more a matter of just 'winging it' without much of a plan. The tendency would be to be rather successful doing so... although sometimes even circus acrobats fall.

LEO 23
An old man cutting mistletoe off an oak tree with a golden knife.

Spectacular attainment. Peak capacity. Everything prepared and ready. The consummation of lifetimes in the destiny-drama of self-mastery. Your tireless pursuit of perfection and gift of knowing what is asked are charged with collective power. Marking out a pathway which shall remain always. The Gods inspire, the hour is ripe. Demonstration is constant--the rhythm is the one the inner worlds are synchronized with. And the whole idea is to become selflessly yourself, offered to the Goddess and emergent through time as the God-Man boldly, uninhibitedly, all there.

LEO 24
Sunrise over Stonehenge.
Immortal stature. Undiminished interior presence. A throwback to heroic times and places, character elevated, the universal code upheld, you are stalwart, uncompromising, and even rabid. Vertical understanding and allegiance. Exquisite sensibility. Nobility and the core of human nature embodied. You have a subtle undertone of magic and miracle, yet you're often overtly quiet, simple, and straight. All goes into the spirit, poignant and evocative and moving.

Leo 23. A secret race of beings carrying on a hidden existence among humans. (OmegaSymbol) Interacting/Receptive

You see things others aren’t aware of. The question is, will people believe you when you share your insights? It’s best not to focus on this, but on the truth and wisdom behind what you’re saying – its essence – rather than the details or physical veracity of it. You also need to learn how to feed your insights to others gradually, and in a way they will accept. Sometimes it takes people awhile to see an open door and to move through it.

The Chandra Symbol for this degree is “An old man cutting mistletoe off an oak tree with a golden knife.” You make yourself and what you are doing important, and at best you help others to see themselves as important also, and to become more aware of the significance of what they’re doing. You create ritual and drama which beautify the world and make others aware of the larger picture and the grand scheme of things. You are about rescuing life from the mundane and trivial.

Pleiadian Symbol: A ghostly white figure riding a horse in the twilight.

Azoth Symbol: A plate covered with beautiful depictions of flowers.

Seed degree: Capricorn 3. A reference book on poisons. (Omega symbol). When we can figure out which energies are detrimental to our well being, we can then know what sorts of things to accept and what to reject.

A woman sneezing pepper and sneezing violently. (Chandra Symbol). Rejecting from our being whatever it is we do not need we then are able to clearly to take what we do need from life with reverence and respect.

Fulfillment degree: Aquarius 22. A master healer is gradually restructuring someone’s body. (Omega Symbol). Becoming more and more aware of the subtle effects of unseen forces, we are able to enlist them to clear stress and create harmony within ourselves.

A woman making lace. (Chandra Symbol). As we become more acutely aware of each energy in life we are enlisting to help us, we become more adept at delicately and carefully organizing the patterns and harmonies of our existence.

They came long ago to offer help, but found few takers. Nevertheless the thought of leaving never occurred to them, for they were innately patient, and impervious to frustration, and had encountered such lack of receptivity countless times before.

They knew that sometimes, through mere co-existence, a seemingly imperceptible absorption would occur directly, out of the shared atmosphere, infinitesimally small in the short term, but cumulative in the ongoing, until pictures and ideas inevitably seeped in, even if only taking recognizable form over vast periods of time.
for the Sun today, Aquarius 23, "A big bear sitting down and waving its paws".




Can't relax: Ill at ease with the World; Cannot find one's ''seat'' in the world;
Restless wandering


The 'Big bear' degree is a specific reference to the seat, the tailbone, and associated considerations of a saddle... the metaphoric seat of being in the world. A bear is not usually imagined as seated., One can think of circus bears trained to sit and wave their burly limbs in a playful demonstration of aptitude. The opposing Leo symbol, "A bareback rider' suggests acrobatics while riding without a saddle. The 23rd degree Scorpio, "A bunny metamorphosed into a fairy" relates to this theme as well. A 'bunny'... why a 'bunny' rather than a rabbit... reveals a line of sense derived from a Scottish diminutive for a rabbit based on the tail, the bun, the seat, the saddle. These threads of sense open the inner meanings of the Sabian symbols related to each other by the harmonic degree relationships.

Apply the Sun's position in the Big bear degree by thinking about the tailbone, seat. Taking one's seat is an action of power... specifically from where one derives personal power, centred power. Imagine a firmly secured root energy, the tailbone, solidly connected into the earth. One could imagine drawing energy from the earth's core as if one's 'tail' penetrated deep into the ground, for example, as a way to ground and secure one's position in the world.

When firmly seated, a well-balanced centre is established like a firm foundation that is unshaken by the waving turbulence of the world. The image is of remaining firmly seated while changes and upheavals go on all around... not being knocked off-balance by shifts and swirling external circumstance. Seated firmly, securely, one does not fall back into old inhibiting stories.

Literally, one could practice yoga or meditation focussed upon the root chakra or even the actual tail bone of the spine.

As the Sun journeys further through Aquarius and Pisces (Saturn slides back into the 16th degree Libra March 5), the illuminated symbols will continue to inform how to further work with this core image... holding one's seat, balanced, in the saddle with dignity and confidence, in order to handle whatever life brings your way.

Of course, other planetary positions and developments will also be meaningful factors, but this simple observation gives us a fundamental key to guide steps into the near future.

The 23rd degree of the horoscope is one of the degrees that is associated with the zodiac sign Aquarius, according to the degree theory in astrology1. This theory, invented by astrologer Nikola Stojanovic, suggests that each degree of the zodiac has a specific meaning and energy that relates to one of the 12 signs1. The 23rd degree, along with the 11th degree, carries all the domains of Aquarius, such as technology, large systems, networks, friends, sudden developments, goals and gains, nerves, and the brain2. The 23rd degree also has a meaning of “to cut” according to Stojanovic2.

Some astrologers also consider the 23rd degree to be a critical or anaretic degree for the fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius)3. Critical degrees are said to indicate challenges or difficulties in the areas of life represented by the sign and planet involved3. However, they can also be sources of great power and influence once the challenges are overcome3.

Therefore, the 23rd degree of the horoscope can have a special significance depending on the sign and planet that occupies it. For example, someone with their sun at the 23rd degree may have a career that involves Aquarius-related domains, such as science, innovation, or social movements2. Someone with their ascendant at the 23rd degree may have an appearance or a path in life that reflects Aquarius qualities, such as being unusual, futuristic, or revolutionary2. Someone with a planet at the 23rd degree in a fixed sign may face some obstacles or crises related to that planet’s expression, but also have the potential to achieve great things once they overcome them3.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

According to Koppejan, a Dutch astrologer who wrote a book on the zodiac image handbook, the 23rd degree of Aquarius is associated with the symbol of “a sheath of wheat”1 This symbol represents the harvest of one’s ideas and inventions, as well as the sharing of knowledge and resources with others2 The 23rd degree of Aquarius is also considered a critical degree, which means that it has a special significance and intensity in astrology3 People who have planets or points at this degree may experience sudden changes, breakthroughs, or challenges in their lives, especially related to their individuality, creativity, and humanitarianism3 They may also have a strong sense of responsibility and duty towards the collective good2

I was wondering if you could give me and other's the "run down" on Bacchus 2063-- its been a topic a while back on one of the various threads, but one spacific question:

What is the main difference which seperates Bacchus from Pan?

My intuition tells me that Pan is just natural at what he does, and Bacchus is divinely insane..

Adding to this I noticed a while back in my massive amount of 5th house asteroids an interesting group around my South Node, a conjunction of Bacchus, Terpsichore, and Sappho (with Erato in the 11th degree in Libra in some small influence to the South Node at 14 degrees Libra)

In the chart of one of my musical mentor's Pete Shelley one can find Bacchus and Sappho in close conjunction in his 5th house in Aquarius.. but what does that mean about creativity?

Just wondering about that; I have been very inspired by some of the questions involving the muses, Pan, and Chiron, but sadly the spacifics do not exactly apply, but its nice to read.

Take care all,

The Romans loved Bacchus! He was considered an ultimate deity, the recipient of highest reverence. The Bacchanalia, his festive celebration, consisted of decadent eating, drinking, sex and total abandon. He knew how to cut loose. After all, he was the son of Zeus and raised by the Nysaean nymphs.

Bacchus, although the Roman name for the Greek Dionysus, is somewhat less “spiritual” in nature than his predecessor. Dionysus was like a dark Christ figure, driven mad by Hera and offering redemption through ecstasy. Bacchus is not dismembered and resurrected as Dionysus, though he is mad as well. Bacchus is more about pleasure through excess than redemption through excess…if that makes sense.

Dionysus showed mortals how to express their passions through mania (passionate outpouring as opposed to clinical madness).

Bacchus showed mortals how to cultivate fruit trees and grapes and turn them into wine. He is a god of vegetation, the vineyard and the wine itself.

How is he different from Pan?

Pan, for one, is much older. He is the great ALL. He is wild in nature and does not cultivate anything save perhaps an extremely healthy libido.

He shows mortals the realm of the senses, taste, touch, smell, sound by exploration in the body—with the body. He is extremely physical.

Bacchus (and Dionysus) are more about escape from the body and the logic of routine into the realm of ecstasy, passion though vision and distortion (drugs and alcohol). I wonder where Timothy Leary’s Bacchus & Dionysus was…

What about creativity? My friend Zane Stein says this:

“There is another side to Bacchus, though. I have also found it prominent in the charts of a number of truly artistic individuals who get totally immersed in their work. These people seem to become one with the creative process, losing themselves and the world while they are painting, composing or whatever.”

www.geocities.com/SoHo/7969/bacchus.htm
Does this make sense?


I get the idea that Pan is an accute awareness to things around, a sensitivity to the environment around one's self, which could be the reason I have such sympathy for animals. (notice my husband has Pan strongly too and our comp has Pan in the first house.)

But that Bacchus thing, interesting and inspired but mostly seen as avoiding the real for the imagined, which is not bad (12 house also seems to be that area) but it can lead to not being aware of the body, and taking the body for granted, (like with those of us who don't eat while inspired or totally deny yourself in a truely work-aholic fashion those things your body cries for.)


*****


I think that is a good point, about Pan’s awareness of the environment. He not only senses everything around him, he participates! It is like the meeting of two animals in the woods. All their senses tell them of the other…and then they fight, or play or mate or hunt…they participate, they connect. I think Pan is something like this. He also taught…mostly sexual arts but also music and divination!

Bacchus and Dionysus may get so caught up in the creation, or the redemption or the spiritual participation that they neglect the body…though the senses are still very much involved. The ecstasy they offer is through the physical experience of pleasure and indulgence so that the body may be transcended, though it starts there.

Thanks for your comments.

Hej everyone!

I just noticed yesterday a transit to my 7th house cusp of asteroid (2063) Bacchus.

How is this acting in relation to my physical nature, and my long term relationships? Well I've been feeling an urge to seek enjoyment in alcohol!!! I have never really been so interested in drinking anything until now..but it was after I had Pernod, I finally discovered a drink I actually liked!

Not that I sought out to get drunk or anything, I was just amazed at the "euphoria" I felt for a short while, and it does tend, just like Neptune, to "desolve" barriers and boarders between people. (needless to say I've still not tried Absinthe yet but I'm trying to locate a good one that is under 60% (thus being legal in this country because anything over that is illegal, but the absinthe itself is totally legal here)

I also get the feeling my nerves are more "tuned toward pleasure" as well.

Just an observation, nothing to be alarmed about, but it is very much a good surprise!

Anyone else notice things happening with a Bacchus transit to a major point in their chart? Just curious.. here :)

take care,

My natal Bacchus is 6 degrees Scorpio, so it looks like Eros is currently conjuncting it. I did spend the weekend with friends out on the town, and there was a good bit of Bacchus juice induldged in by all! The energy was very electric and I felt so alive and especially good.

I am experiencing a lot of energy in that area of my chart right now; as I mentioned in another post, this is the placement of my midheaven.

He is transiting my twefth house now, and squaring my Moon. I'm not sure what the effect is - something to think about.

Bye for now,

I have a question. If my dionysus is in aries and my bacchus is in scorpio, what does it mean? I drink, but not a lot. I've experimented with drugs, but Im clean now. Thanks.



I just realised I had a lot about Bacchus in the Ult.Ast.Book which I bought ages ago and he relates Bacchus to Tantra with the B orgies as an intermediate stage Now that makes sense to me as with Bac/Saph/Mars/etc etc in Gemini in 1st I did a course for some time that I later found out was based on Tantric principles and I took to it like a duck to water It was working in groups and pairs on our bodies in a very meditative non sexual way-on acu points in certain ways and we ended up in total bliss every day Meditation in twos or groups is so much easier to maintain as you do not want to spoil the other person's experience by giving up ...... And by drugs seem so boring and alcohol so crude And sex simply more of the same bliss if one had a partner at the time Hail Bacchus



Thank you for this contribution on Bacchus-

I get the impression this is a key to something about the lacking of will to do drugs ever with me, although I love the altering perceptions of sex between "commited parties", when it works out correctly, it is the divine bliss needed to get though crisis, perhaps an escapist crutch but still, all about a certain energy tapped into which is to be "shared". (I have Bacchus conjunct Sappho, and Terpsicore as well as the south node of the moon in the 5th house)... it is certainly true that I can see how I can take my creative energies and give them away to someone else to avoid the need for painting, but without a close partnership, it turns explosive, and almost into a mania where I'm painting in the middle of the night, not sleeping, not eating, and totally neglecting myself.

I think though I can say it is a combination of the Neptune(conjunct Iccarus) in the 6th with a 6th house ruled by Pluto that doubles up on this theme, the sacrifice of the body for "work" or "intensive physical/emotional/spiritual/sexual needs" (my Pluto is conjunct the Moon in the 4th house)

Bacchus seems to focus its needs toward 5th house areas, and I know one other person who has the Bacchus/Sappho combination in the 5th and he is pretty much known for not only his creativity, but a certain joyful drinking :o; I hope that he uses that energy to a better purpose rather than destroying his health, which he must do on those long tours of playing shows and drinking heavily EVERY night.

Thanks for the insights that everyone has come up with on this thread-

So interesting Sven, I do wonder how BACCHUS might relate to alcohol abstinence. I have always had a severe adversion to alcohol and drugs of any kind. The last time I tasted alcohol was during the champagne toast at my wedding 15 years ago. I have also never done any drugs, not even marijuana, despite a stint of living in Santa Cruz California where drugs were plentiful and much of the good company under the influence of something. I always joked to my non and using friends that my personality was completely out of control, wacky and intense enough without additional influences.

I checked my BACCHUS, Humorously enough, it is in my 8th House and YES!!! tightly oppsing my 2nd house Capricorn Saturn & Vesta! Bacchus is 17 Cancer; Saturn and Vesta are 17 Capricorn and POF is 22 Cap. I aslo had a secret fear that alcohol and drug would remove my good girl Catholic virgin patina. Well there you have it!

Yeah I have been totally (up until my 26th birthday) alcohol-free and I can still only count the numbers of times I've been "drunk" on one hand, although I thought last year that was going to change. Strangely enough it was a transit from Bacchus that gave me an urge to try Abstithe, and it was very good.

I still don't really drink though, I think I had a glass of wine with my husband when he opened a bottle but that was last August.

Sometimes I have a taste for it, and sometimes I don't but I can be escapist without alcohol and that is probably the reason why I don't do it much.. and I recall the first time I did have 3 glasses of Champange at a wedding in Chicago, it was the very first time I felt "drunk" and then I knew it, but my friends said, "pish, spending money on alcohol for you is a waste because you are the very same as if you are drunk.." :P

Even still I shared a glass of Champange with my favorite band :)

oh well.
