The mythology of the twelve signs of western astrology — part.3

Astraea is the goddess who taught humans what justice is, but they have been competing, fighting and killing each other.

The goddess was so angry and sad that she ran away to heaven, and continued to watch us from the sky.

It is said Virgo people are so strict and stoic to both others and themselves that they are striving to forge the ideal, because they hate corruption of sense of justice.




Libra people tend to consider and confuse what justice, beauty and truth are, so they always contemplate like scale swings. 

They like to gather many kinds of knowledge and information, because they understand it is so difficult to make decisions that everyone agrees with.

Libra season starts with Spring Equinox Day, after Virgo season is ended, and Scorpio season begins after Libra season on the 24th of October.


The model of Scorpio killed the Greek hero Orion, who was so tall and strong but arrogant, with his poison needle.

Goddess Hera gave honor to the scorpion and he became the constellation Scorpio.


Scorpio people tend to hide their real thoughts, and like to pretend to be the opposite type of people, because they think so deeply like philosophers or artists, and they have experienced isolation.

They sometimes are known as invective people, and can hurt others or help them find something.

After Scorpio season, Sagittarius season begins on the 23rd  or 24th of November.



The model of Sagittarius is Chiron, the king of Centaurus tribe, who have the lower body of horses.

They were expelled as monsters by their father Uranus, even though they were children of god.

Chiron has the very smart brain of a god, and he also has the wild instinct of a beast.


That’s why Sagittarius people are said to have no enemies when they decide to do something and focus on it.


After Sagittarius season, Capricorn season begins on the 23rd  or 24th of December, the day of winter solstice.

  The annual historical drama series, The Giraffe is Coming ( Awaiting Kirin : Japanese title Kirin ga Kuru) is broadcasting on NHK, Japan Broadcasting Corporation. The main character of this drama is Akechi Mitsuhide, and it is an exceptional explanation of Japanese history. That is because he has been described as the betrayer to Oda Nobunaga, who had been a highly rated warrior and politician.

Cancer season starts the day of summer solstice, which usually comes on the 21st or 22nd of June.  In the Northern hemisphere, the Sun reaches its highest position in the sky and daytime becomes the longest in the year. As I showed in the previous article, Zeus, the god of the highest position in Greek mythology, has a lot of children born from human women. Heracles was one of them, and Zeus made a plan for his wife goddess Hera to breastfeed Heracles while she was asleep, because Zeus would like to give him the power of a god. 　 Heracles sucked Hera's breast so strongly, even though he was a baby, that she awoke. Hera was surprised and shook him off, the Milky Way was created by her breastmilk spreading into the night sky. She got angry and continued to hate him forever.

When Heracles slaye...

Movie Review of The Danish Girl

 I watched the movie The Danish Girl , which is based on the biography of the first person who had undergone sex reassignment surgery in the world.  At the beginning of the 20th century, there was a couple of painters, Mr and Mrs Wegener in Copenhagen, Denmark. Einar Wegener was good at landscapes, and gaining fame as one of most talented artists in Denmark, but his wife, Gerda, didn’t achieve success behind Einar. One day, Gerda asked Einar to be the foot model in place of the female model because she didn’t come on time. When Einar wore lady’s stockings and shoes, and put the dress on his chest, he felt someone awaken inside himself. Gerda also proposed him to pretend to be a woman and join a party together. Einar wore a dress, wig, and makeup, and finally he became a beautiful woman. He was named Lili, and she got attention from guys there. Einar believed he is a woman inside, and began to change from a man to a woman since then. Gerda was confused by her husband’s change, ...
