The Egyptian goddess Bast reminds us of all that is feline and feminine. Her gifts, very cat-like in nature, include the refusal to be at everyone's beck and call and an insistence on the freedom of expression.

She teaches us to relax and never waste energy, reminding us to luxuriate in beauty, perfume, and to sway in graceful movement. Bast refuses to take anything too seriously.

She also teaches us the importance of enjoying our human sexuality. Not repressing it. But allowing it full expression in our life. Without the attached religious dogmas that would have you kneel and pray in servitude for forgivness.
A loving God would not encourage these energies within us. There is no longer a need to kneel in a temple, that was the Age of Pisces, we are the new Aquarians.

Most importantly, Bast leads us to accept the true nature of things (ourselves included) and helps us remain unswayed by the opinion of others.

So I am thinking that Ubasti in our charts and aspects to it can reveal how we view ourselves and allow others to treat us. The Egyptians believed that each God or Goddess embodied an emotion. Perhaps in this area we are unswayed by others opinions of that energy and how it manifest in us. If afflicted perhaps we have some insecurities around expressions of that energy. This could be important seeing as the time period we live in it is very important for each individual to be putting our own needs first, and taken care of ourselves emotionally, mentally and physically and not others. We have given our energy away for 1000s of years, over and over. Those were the Dark Ages. From the metaphysical standpoint knees are a point of obedience, servitude, resignation, and fear. And we have been on them way to long. We cannot encourage those emotions in ourselves any longer. When we plant our feet firmly on soil, we are capable of pulling the strength of the Goddess through our bodies and into our souls.

For example I noticed in my Chart the biggest connection to Ubast is my Pluto exactly opposing it. My pluto is in Libra. And Ubast is in Aries. In addition to that it is also exactly Trine King, Semi sextile Hathor, Sextile Amun, and Square Ishtar. Using only 0 degree orbs I see a theme there. And I know that I have personally learned through relationships how I cannot let people treat me any kind of way. My SN being in Pisces I have to tendency to want to be a martyr or a victim, and Pluto has sent me through so many transformations, in the form of relationships that were difficult to deal with but looking back very necessary, to learn to honor my inner Bast. After finding myself kneeling over and over I finally learned to stand tall and allow Plutos transformative energy to flow through me, following my Spirit whereever it led and facing the shadows of my darkest self. This allowed the energies/emotions of the Egpytian and Babylonian Gods that I have worshipped in lives before to flood through me, and my past life as Royalty to flow through me as well and it began to feel more nature to call the light through my crown and there where the forces of Earth and stars unite within me I can feel the Golden explosion of the Love energy in its highest octave within my heart Chakra . This is what we all must do. Experience ourselves centered, the stilled pendulum.
Curled up like a cat lying in the sun, as the mighty events of the Earths transformation and ascension take place around us as we honor our inner Goddess Bast and she forms a complete circle . . . a symbol of the eternal.

Is there a theme in your chart to the Goddess Bast.
How have you in the this incarnationtreated yourself? Have you given away your energies to your family memebers, lovers, religion, or employer. How have you honored, or dishonored your inner God. I wonder if there is a correlation in our charts to this and the Goddess Bast.

I love your post. Very profound and insightful. Thanks for that.

Personally I think I have done both, kneeling and standing tall.
I have always refused to follow certain "roles" society dictates us.
For example: In my puberty I refused going to parties, just because Everybody did.
I never wore clothes, just because there was a certain label stuck on it.
I didnīt smoke, did not drink as much as others would (and only those things that I liked which were scarce), I didn`t have sex just "to be done with it", I didn`t get involved with someone just "because everyone is supposed to be in a relationship", I very much walked to my own tune, but it`s been hard.

I`ve been accused of being detached and selfish for doing this. Maybe I am selfish, cause I like to choose whom I want to spend my time with. And spending time on my own is often viewed as an act of strangeness and selfishness.

I also think that sometimes I overdid that "walking to my own tune"-thing and lost the balance. But the greater problem is that I thought that something was wrong about the way I was or am.

But the thing is, I kneel before noone. Never. (unless I want to).

In that way you could call me almost cat-like. If I choose to be your friend, I will be most devoted and loyal and enjoy being near to you.
If I don`t choose to be your friend, I will still be friendly and polite (unless you really **** me off), but you will not be able to get a hold on me. In some way I wonīt even be there, while talking to you.

Oh and Ubasti is in Aquarius conjunct my Moon, trine my Karma and quinkunx my Saturn.

EDIT:
Oh a strange thing with cats. MOst of them seem to like me. I donīt have a cat (well you cannot own a cat, never, she chooses you to supply her food, that`s all), but whenever I am standing somewhere on a street for longer than a few minutes, especially at night, there usually will be a cat coming to me.
Actually on my way to school there are two cats who are there at the same time almost every morning, when I go to school. It`s almost like they want to say "hello".
Oh and that one time, when a cat climbed up to my balcony. lol

But cat`s have it really bad for my Mom. My Mom likes animals, but would never want to own one, yet there have been several cats who seemed to have been drawn to her. One stray cat actually knocked on our door. It`s true. He "knocked". But my mom didn`t want a cat, so he put up with our neighbours as "food supplier", yet brought my mother a mouse several times.
And she ddinīt do anything especially nice to him, except for talking to him. But my mom never talks in that "baby talk"-mode that some people use with babies and animals. if my Mom talks to an animal, it`s always like you would talk to a person.
But now that I think of it, it seems that this side of the family has a cat-touch. My Granddad actually had a black stray cat coming to him every day for the last years of his life. She just came, got her food, let him stroke her, and then disappeared again. But she came back every morning. lol

That would makes sense. Your way of handling yourself. It certainly coincides with your Moon Conj uBasti.
And your cat experiences!
Consider this, something else I read:

"In regard to her lunar aspect, Bast's offspring were known as children of the moon, hence the name moon child. In the previous chapter, Crowley was identified as the incarnation of the Priest Ankh-af-an-Khonsu which equates to the Priest of Mentu. As Khonsu also refers specifically to the moon, Bast can be identified as the Priestess of Mentu with regard to her lunar aspect. It is in this respect that Bast could be considered to have presided over the sexual and genetic experiments that are said to have occurred at Montauk.

In what is an amusing correspondence, there are usually various cats that roam the picnic area near the lighthouse parking lot at Montauk. They have no apparent home but are always well fed by the tourists who sometimes take one home for a pet. These cats are known as the "Montauk Cats". I was once told that if you follow the cats before a rainstorm, they will lead you to the underground.

Although Bast's correspondence with Montauk is a bit obscure, Bast was glorified in ancient Egypt as the Sphinx. She had the loins of a lion, symbolized by the constellation Leo and the top half of a virgin woman, symbolized by the constellation Virgo. The Sphinx had breasts at one point, but these were defaced as the patriarchal culture established its foothold. The face was also altered at one point to look more like a chimpanzee."

The mystery continues to unravel right.
Lots to learn and re-MEMBER.
Its what we came to do. Bring the darkness to light.

First how tight are the aspects?
I imagine if it is square your moon. All ready there is a conflict of the how you see yourself. Do you tend to give so much of yourself in relationships, work, family to the point that you find yourself lacking in your on emotional, physical and mental resources?
Are you good and making boundaries setting aside "me" time. At pampering yourself. Do you exercise, eat right, dress nice, take care of your body, and take pride in your appearance? Do you take the time to pamper yourself. Is sex as physical fulfilling? Is it just as emotionally fulfilling?
Bast feels directly related to our self esteem to me.

My, what an interesting topic you have here.
Some great stuff turning up in relation to Bast.DD nice info.

No wonder my natal uranus has whacked everything in my chart off kilter - it's just the aftereffects of my Atlantean crazy scientist self.

lol your last post made me smile.

And I was actually a bit disappointed, t hat I don`t have any major planet or asteroid on 13 Sagittarius. Oh well, I guess I have to be content with that Isis-Osiris-conjunction.
The only asteroid that is on 13.4 Sagittarius in my chart is the asteroid "Amun" - it`s quinkunx retograde Sphinx on 13.3 Taurus and also quinkunx retograde Tutenchamun on 12.3 Cancer, and it is opposing retograde Imhotep on 11.2 Gemini and SN on 10.1 Gemini.

I just noticed that this is a Yod with Amun as the Apex planet on the Egyptian Sabian, and that there is even an asteroid opposing it, so that there is a multiple asteroid configuration of Amun, Sphinx, Tutenchamun (which is also pretty close to Sirius, isn`t it?) and Imhotep (which conjuncts not only SN but also Kaali and Inannen on 12.4 and 12.0 Gemini).

Also interestingly, Sphinx, Tutenchamun, Imhotep and also Kaali and Inannen are all retograde.

Do you think this is a significant configuration?

Also what do you think Hathor represents?
I just watched an epsiode of "Stargate" yesterday that revolved around her and she was portrayed in a way that actually reminded me a bit of Bast, as her seductive appeal played a big role (they also mentioned that she represents music, too).

posted March 13, 2009 11:48 AM         

The Egyptian Goddess of Music, Love, Beauty and Fertility. The Greeks equated her with their own Goddess of love and beauty, Aphrodite.

Hathor (Het-Hert, Het-Heru, Hwt-Hert, Hethara), meaning "House of Horus [the Elder]", was a Goddess of many things. She was a celestial Goddess, The Mistress of Heaven, a Goddess of Love, Music, Beauty, Dance and Cheerfulness. She was known as the Mother of Mothers and the Celestial Nurse who presided over women, fertility, children and childbirth. Yet she was also a Goddess of baser things - she was the Vengeful Eye of Ra, the Lady of Drunkeness, and a Goddess of the dead as Lady of the West. As Lady of the Southern Sycamore, the sycamore was sacred to her. It was from the sycamore tree that she was thought to hand out good things to the deceased in the afterlife, and so she was thought to be a friend to the dead.

****************************************

Hathor is the Ancient Egyptian sky- and mother goddess, who is the wife (or mother) of the falcon-headed Sun god Horus. Her name literally means "House of Horus", as the sky is the house of the sun. Cows as emblems of nourishment are sacred to Her, and She usually is shown with some bovine attributes: either a cow's head on a woman's body, or cow ears (like at right), and long horns on Her head that enfold the sun disk, like the arms of the sky embracing Her beloved.

Hathor is also goddess of women, love and joy, music, dance, celebration and beauty. She protects women and is present whenever they beautify themselves. She blesses women with fertility, and many of the ritual objects associated with Her - such as the sistrum and menat-necklace - also have an erotic significance, and in fact the Greeks identified Her with their Aphrodite.
As the Primaeval Mother, Hathor is shown as a cow who emerged from the reeds at the beginning of the world when the primal floods receded. The first day of the year, July 19th, was celebrated as Her birthday with a great festival at Her temple at Dendera. Before sunrise Her statue was brought to the roof, where the rays of Her husband Horus the sun-god shone upon it, symbolising the sacred marriage of Sky and Sun.

Hathor saw both the newly born and the newly dead to safety - at the birth of a child, seven Hathors came to give the child its fate; and She is said to welcome the dead to the Gates of the West with bread and beer.

She is also, however, linked to the goddess Sekhmet, and the legend of Sekhmet's bloody revenge on mankind at Ra's behest is sometimes attributed to Hathor; in the Middle Kingdom a temple in the Delta at Kom el-Hisn was dedicated to Sekhmet-Hathor.
In transit it indicates a space of celebration and beauty, with great joy welling up and becoming evident, like the sun rising. You are coming into a time of happiness and comfort, safety and relaxation.

Also, I noticed that Sekhmet/Sphinx conjunction trine Isis and Pluto forms a Grand Trine, right?? And this Grand Trine is a part of a Kite. I am amazed!! Do they all have a meaning??

posted March 13, 2009 05:59 PM           

Sekhmet and Isis are both female goddesses, but Sekhmet representing the wild, even aggressive side, while Isis is a mothergoddess and more compassionate and gentle. So maybe this Grand trine means that there is a focus or a need to address the feminine principle with both sides, the giving Isis and the assertive Sekhmet?

Also, if this is a Kite it means that there is an opposition involved. What opposition is the "spine" of this configuration? It may have great importance.
