camilla, follower of diana (asteroid 107)

Camilla was a maiden warrior who had the favor of Diana. In The Aeneid, Metabus (her father) is the one to dedicate Camilla to Diana as an infant. Metabus was running with Camilla from his enemies when he came to a river, and he realized that he could not swim across with her nor could he let them get captured. He then strapped her to a javelin, asked Diana to accept his offering, and hurled his child across the river. He swam across and (shockingly) found Camilla alive. The two lived in the woods as shepherds, and Metabus taught his daughter about hunting and other crafting. She grew up extremely skilled and ultimately became a leader for a group of warriors. Virgil describes the grown Camilla as so quick and sure-footed that it appeared as though Diana had blessed her with more than just battle abilities - it looked as though she could cross the sea without touching the water or move though a field of grain without a single plant rustling in her wake. IN MY OPINION Camilla in your chart can represent a) how your beliefs are groomed by you parents, b) how blessed/protected you are by Diana, c) how agile/dexterously you move, and/or d) where you are thought of as a great leader.

Can you talk about Diana (78)?

diana, goddess of the hunt, wild animals, and midwifery (asteroid 78)

Diana is the daughter of Jupiter and Latona. Her twin, Apollo, rules over the opposite domains in which she does. Unlike the Greek version, told in Apollo's post, Jupiter married Latona then left her for Juno. Juno, as the jealous new wife, made sure that Latona struggled to find somewhere to have Jupiter’s children. The rest of the myth matches the Greek version. Diana is known for her solitude and virginal status. Unlike Artemis, Diana is associated with the darker parts of nature like death and the underworld. Diana is often depicted with a golden bow and arrow in the wilderness hunting animals. One of the most popular myths involving Diana comes from Metamorphoses - Actaeon the hunter who runs with hounds. Actaeon came across Diana who was in a pond bathing. Diana was flabbergasted by this encounter and of course was ashamed she had been seen naked, she splashed Actaeon with water. This splash caused him to transform into a stag. Actaeon's own dogs eventually reached him and brought him down. IN MY OPINION Diana in your chart can represent a) where your hunting perilous is strong, b) where you prefer to be alone, c) where you mature quickly, d) where you are modest, and/or e) where you destroy those who see your vulnerability.
