The Individual is a vehicle of Power, and not a vehicle of little cocks
and panties desires. Seduccion is not an occupacion.
Let us look quickly over the origin of the wor(ld) poli8ticz:
Called "The Central One", Alcyone is the central or main star and also the
largest star of the Pleiades, or Seven Sisters; the seven stars which are
situated on the shoulder blade of Taurus, the Bull. Alcyone is often seen
as representing the whole group that are all situated within one degree.
In Greek Mythology, Alcyone, who in grief over the death of her husband
Ceyx, threw herself into the sea and was changed into a halcyon; a bird
identified with the kingfisher, believed to have had the power to calm the
wind and the waves at the time of the winter solstice when it nested on
the sea. Halcyon means tranquil and free from disturbance or care;
prosperous; golden: as in "halcyon years".
This cluster of stars were seen by some Romans as a "hen with her chicks",
with Alcyone as "The Hen". Other versions made them the "Seven Doves" that
carried ambrosia to the infant Zeus. Pleiades (Peleiades) was called a
"flock of doves". In order to flee the sexual advance of Orion, the
Hunter, the seven sisters were transformed into Doves or Rock-pigeons.
Latin Butrum or Brutum, meaning a Bunch of Grapes was another title.
Arabic Al Najm, the Constellation par excellence.
They were the 1st mansion of the Moon in a number of traditions. The
Arabic word for them was Al Thurayya "The Many Little Ones" and marked the
1st manzil [Influences: Profitable to sailors, huntsmen and alchemists
(Robson)].
In the Hindu lunar zodiac the Pleiades are the 1st nakshatra, Krittika
"The General of the Celestial Armies". The Krittikas were the six nurses
of Skanda, the infant god of war, who took to himself six heads for his
better nourishment.
The Hindus also pictured these stars as a "Flame" or "Razor", and the
(We are a fiery ditzohito!!)
regent was Agni, god of fire.
[Influences: Those born on the lunar day will delight in white flowers,
perform sacrifice, and will be magicians, metaphysicians, diggers,
barbers, potters, priests or astronomers. With the Moon here at birth the
native will be a glutton, adulterous, handsome and famous (Robson)].
As a Persian lunar station they were one of these titles: Perv, Perven,
Pervis, Parvig, Parviz, Peren, Parur, Parwin, Parven; with references to
the tent-maker "who stitched the tents of science".
The patriarch Job is thought to refer to them in his word Kimah, a
Cluster, or Heap. The similar Babylonian-Assyrian Kimtu, or Kimmatu,
signifies a "Family Group." Syrians had Kima. Aratos called them the Flock
of Clusterers. (Allen).
Abundant crops and green pastures were attributed to these "Rainy Stars".
They were also connected with traditions of the Flood found among widely
separated nations.

Influence of Alcyone: It causes love, eminence, blindness from fevers,
small pox, and accidents to the face. (Robson).
Ambition and endeavor, which gives preferment, honor and glory. Not a good
omen with regard to relationships to the opposite sex. (Ebertin).
Desire to be well dressed and even misuse beauty aids, such as an
excessive amount of perfume. Likely to drink too much. Success in trade
conducted upon the seas. (Noonan).
If rising: Blindness, ophthalmia injuries to the eyes and face, disgrace,
wounds, stabs (operations nowadays), exile, imprisonment, sickness,
violent fevers, quarrels, violent lust, military preferment. If at the
same time the Sun is in opposition either to the Ascendant or to Mars,
violent death. (Robson).
Impudent in speech if poorly positioned Mercury. Homosexuality. (Noonan).
he Pleiades sisters who vie with each other's radiance. Beneath their
influence devotees of Bacchus (god of wine) and Venus (goddess of love)
are born into the kindly light, and people whose insouciance runs free at
feasts and banquets and who strive to provoke sweet mirth with biting wit.
They will always take pains over personal adornment and an elegant
appearance they will set their locks in waves of curls or confine their
tresses with bands, building them into a thick topknot, and they will
transform the appearance of the head by adding hair to it; they will
smooth their hairy limbs with the porous pumice, loathing their manhood
and craving for sleekness of arm. They adopt feminine dress, footwear
donned not for wear but for show, and an affected effeminate gait. They
are ashamed of their sex ; in their hearts dwells a senseless passion for
display, and they boast of their malady, which they call a virtue. To give
their love is never enough : they will also want their love to be seen.
(Manilus, book 5 of Astronomica, 1st century AD).
The word Pleiades is derived from the Indo-European word pel[e]-, "to
fill", with derivatives: fill, supply, plenty, accomplish, plethora,
complete, plus, plural, replenish, implement, compliment, supplement,
police, politics, policy, public, publish, publicity, palm, feeling,
folks.
