The Latin phrase sub rosa means "under the rose" and is used in English to denote secrecy or confidentiality, similar to the Chatham House Rule. The rose as a symbol of secrecy has an ancient history.

The rose has held a deeply symbolic significance in many times and cultures as a symbol of maternal creativity and of the yoni or feminine generative power. The literal rose and its essence or attar has also played a role in religious and spiritual rites which ofttimes would have been held in secret.

The rose has sometimes been said to have been the emblem of the god Horus in ancient Egypt. However the gods in Egypt were usually associated with the lotus. The idea of Horus being linked to the rose probably arises from Greek and Roman cultural cross-transmission of myths from Egypt. Firstly, the rose's connotation of secrecy dates back also to Greek mythology. Aphrodite gave a rose to her son Eros, the god of love; he, in turn, gave it to Harpocrates, the god of SILENCE and a Greek name for a form of Horus, to ensure that his mother's indiscretions were not disclosed...

Later, the Greeks and Romans translated the god's Egyptian name Heru-pa-khered as Harpocrates and regarded him as the god of SILENCE. The association of Harpocrates with SILENCE and secrecy originates from a misunderstanding of Egyptian depictions of the god. Heru-pa-khered was represented as a naked youth with a finger-to-mouth gesture—in Egyptian artwork this gesture imitates the hieroglyph for child and is used to represent youth, but was misunderstood by later Greeks and Romans as a gesture for SILENCE.

The rose is also an esoteric symbol of Rosicrucianism which was often considered to be a secret society or brotherhood.

I just looked up my Osiris and this is what the Sabian for it was:

13º Leo:

An old sea captain rocking on the porch of his cottage.

Reward of growth from outer to inner realms. Serenity through the overcoming of storms.

Self-gained mellowness. Retirement.

This was my Isis:

26º Leo:

After a heavy storm, a rainbow.

Promise of conscious immortality after the death of useless things.

Spiritual linkage through emotional stress. Blessing

Right on my North Node/Uranus:

27º Leo:

Daybreak - the luminescence of dawn in the eastern sky.

Transforming power of creative impulses as they bring ideas to concrete manifestation.

Stirring to opportunity. Soul-power.

Don't they totally remind you of a certain couple?

That first one is about the time that Sirius Rises with the Sun, when the Nile would Rise with it.

Walk with me...

Fate is in our hands
It's written in the stars
The message that I bring
We are each the captain
Of our very own ship(body temple)

Our story is displayed
In the starry night
The signs, constellations,
Clues in the decans...

The ram becomes
The bull. ...

Or laptop at the moment...

Someones phone..
Otherwise
I would be here more often

Thanks Randall

Okay, so...

In the constellation Capricorn...
The Hebrews named it Gedi..
Which means
"A Kid, or a goat...
Brightest stars
Al Gedi equals the kid
Deneb Al Gedi equals the sacrifice cometh
Ma'Asad equals the slaying

Is Capricorn blamed?
Is he/she the scapegoat?
Saturn/Karma?

In ancient times a goat upper body
And fish lower body...
Transformation. ...
