In Egyptian mythology, Bast (also spelled Ubasti, and later Bastet) is an ancient solar and war goddess, worshipped at least since the Second Dynasty. In the late dynasties, the priests of Amun began to call her Bastet, a repetitive and diminutive form after her role in the pantheon became diminished as Sekhmet, a similar lioness war deity, became more dominant in the unified culture of Lower and Upper Egypt. In the Middle Kingdom, the cat appeared as Bastet’s sacred animal and after the New Kingdom she was depicted with a woman with a cat’s head carrying a sacred rattle and a box or basket.Here something else: "Of course, if you were to walk in on an orgy today, you might find that the procedure has degenerated into an unholy mess. On the other hand, magical energies would definitely be present. All of this brings us back to Bast, the goddess of witchcraft and sexual magick in the Egyptian pantheon. If you ever had the urge to do anything of a bizarre sexual nature, you were entering the realm of Bast. Who exactly was she? Often identified as the Egyptian cat goddess, Bast is one of the most ancient forms of Babalon, the Mother goddess. Bast is portrayed as both a cat and lion. As the goddess of sexual magick, she ruled over lust and sexual heat. It was her job to see that all potentialities manifested and had their day in the sun. Bast is readily identified as the Beast because she "presided" over the vast sexual experiments of Atlantis (and later Egypt) which gave rise to mermaids, minotaurs, centaurs, Pegasus and the like. " Where is she in your chart? In my chart she is at 17 Degrees Aries: Exactly Oppose Pluto at 17 Libra Conjunct Juno at 15 Aries Quincunx Asc at 18 Scorpio Quincunx Uranus at 19 Scorpio Exactly Trine King at 17 Sag Which creates a Grand Trine with Lie at 17 Leo Quincunx NN/Musa at 16 Virgo Exactly Sextile Amun at 17 Gemini Widely Sextile Karma at 20 Gemini Exactly Square Ishtar at 17 Cap Sextile Rudra at 16 Gemini Square Lust at 18 Cancer Widely Trine my Neptune at 20 Sag Exactly Semi Sextile Hathor at 17 Taurus Not sure what to make of this one. How does she fall in you guys charts? IP: Logged |

Mine is at 29 Scorpio ( highest degree of evolution ) conjunct a star that is suppposedly occult pfft ... What else is new  Though off topic - i am not sure the goddess i was deigned to be in an egyptian life was Sekhmet or Bast ... i think itwas Sekhmet i was involved with - being as she was also a Sirian introduction along with cats as holy stooges and the Lion faced Sphinx that faces Sirius at daybreak since the past 3000 years - in Occult Egyptian society. But then again - there were several stages of the original Atlantean descendents who built Egypt reestablishing their links with Sirius - the passover is evident from their changing mythology and practices. Most notably the Sphinx for one - that should be taken as the official sign of when and how deep the Sirian takeover of the original Atlantean culture was.. All in all ORBM - i think you have made a valuable discovery - i have a hunch that Bast will be significant with either ancestral Atlantean - Egyptian DNA ( who actually worshipped her and followed her path ) , just like Sekhmet and Kaali are - OR those who have past lives where the relevant goddess was a heavy deity. hmmm... What would you call me...freak supreme ?
Kaali conjunct Sun at 29.5 Gemini Isis at 29.5 Sag conjunct Lilith at 26 Sag. and now Bast 29.5 Scorpio It is a very telling fact ORBM - as someone who has been heavily in the cult of the goddess through so many past lives and differeing cultures - all the 3 goddesses i was involved with are at 29.5 degree - the highest degree of development - and .. i didnt know this initially but trust it to Iqhunk - he TOLD me i had perfected the Goddess Kundalini - back when i had no clue what the hell he meant by that- not having regressed myself at that point. These 29.5 degree positions basically stand proof of his genius. IP: Logged |

Thank you so much, ORBM.I have been searching for Bast, but didn`t find her asteroid. Always felt the most "connection" with her. Oops. now that I said it probably the asteroid is unaspected in my chart. lol but just judging from my feeling, something about her just resonates with me strongly. IP: Logged |

DD all your placements at that degree opposes my Anubis 15'1 Leo and sextile my N.N in Aries.Anubis is in my chart feels very important to me, like i have an affinity. EDIT: sorry for going a little of topic and my Ur is a 29 Sagittarius and i know you have quiet abit of Sag in your chart  IP: Logged |

yes, I do feel that Anubis is significant, too, even though it`s not really that much aspected. It`s 28 Capricorn, sextile my Valentine, but Draco Anubis conjuncts my name asteroid and squares my Moon. Anubis also conjuncts Draco Pluto.However, it seems to play a certain role in synastries. Often there will be an Anubis-Anubis aspect EDIT: I just realized that Ubasti is conjunct my Moon, while Sekhmet is conjunct my sun (on the GC), seems to be significant somehow. EDIT 2: In my chart there seems to be some kind of link between the Babylonian, Egyptian and Atlantean theme.

My Ubasti is in 26'52 Scorpio in 3rd square my Mars in 25'54 Aquarius in 6th and sextile my Juno in 26'26 Virgo in 1st In the declinations Ubasti is in 9'15 North contraparallel Moon in 8'31 South
I also checked its heliocentric nodes which have to do with the collective. the heliocentric nodes of objects move far slower than outerplanets, and so they relate to the collective. http://www.bsa.bristolastrology.net/asteroid_nodes.html at the moment of my birth: Heliocentric Ubasti Nodes were in 19'08 Virgo/Pisces in 1st/7th houses Heliocentric Mars Nodes were in 19'21 Taurus/Scorpio in 9th/3rd houses Heliocentric Mercury Nodes were in 18'00 Taurus/Scorpio in 9th/3rd houses Mercury in 18'21 Scorpio in 3rd Raymond

Yes. I found it interesting that I have several close conjunctions to my Moon. But there is also that exact trine to my Karma, so maybe it`s not such a surprise? BTW ORBM your Bast is conjunct my Chiron and also conjunct my Draco Sun, sextiles my Moon exactly and also sextiles my own Bast and squares my Saturn exactly.

I love Bastet! She's one of my favorites (Sekhmet being a more consistent theme for me...and oh my, I just noticed how prominent she is in my chart) Bast is 25 degrees Libra for me, conjunct Uranus and square my MC. Didn't check other asteroids besides her and Sekhmet. IP: Logged |

ORBM great stuff  VDI - astrology is pretty amazing isn't it? Such strong placements, on top of all the other stuff going on in your chart! My uBasti is at 28 Aquarius and it conjuncts: talent 28 aqua mercury 27 aqua juno 27 aqua transylvania 27 aqua fixed star Gienah 27'45 Aqua and makes a water Kite with: Pluto 29 Libra, Atlantis 27 Gemini, Neptune 29 Sag quote: the goddess of witchcraft and sexual magick in the Egyptian pantheon. If you ever had the urge to do anything of a bizarre sexual nature, you were entering the realm of Bast.

Wow. Something told me this one would be interesting. Koiflower: What a goober! Thanks for the correction. lol I swear its my Mercury in Pisces, its in detriment! Help me somebody! lol Gotta love sex magic, lust and heat! Seeing as its conjunct your Asteroid name are you sure you were not the the one performing those sexual experiments of Atlantis? *looking around* I know somebody here was! I wonder who....... lol
VDI- Girl you are something else? 29.5 Scorpio! I think you might have been deigned to be Bast. Clearly. you wrote: "But then again - there were several stages of the original Atlantean descendents who built Egypt reestablishing their links with Sirius - the passover is evident from their changing mythology and practices. Most notably the Sphinx for one - that should be taken as the official sign of when and how deep the Sirian takeover of the original Atlantean culture was" This very true. For some reason your thought/energy is very logical to mine. Our minds are very connected. you also wrote: "All in all ORBM - i think you have made a valuable discovery - i have a hunch that Bast will be significant with either ancestral Atlantean - Egyptian DNA ( who actually worshipped her and followed her path ) , just like Sekhmet and Kaali are - OR those who have past lives where the relevant goddess was a heavy deity."
Think so? I am going to do so more research on her. But your right I think she is going to prove very valuable in unearthing our ancestral roots. you wrote: "What would you call me...freak supreme ?" No, not at all love. I would call you an amazing woman. With alot of power. I am just thankful you chose the light this time. lol You would be a force to be reckoned in the darkness. I can only imagine what you were like as a small child. lol Your poor parents!  You are right it is very telling and you would be foolish to ignore the trail that you left behind in your chart. The energy you bring into this world holds much weight. It is like a spotlight, beaming brightly, piercing the darkness. For it yours to help others activate/awaken. You will be called upon to assist others for all must move up. All will eventually be illuminated; this is the simply the way of Spirit. Although so many have chosen to wallow in the blackness every being is a reflection of the Godlight. No matter how dim it is there, for each bears the spark of creation. All beings hold within them the rainbow spectrum, however dull and lusterless their reflection. They can be reached. And you have perfected that VDI. "I see your true colors shining through" And now you have come back to re-MEMBER and show us how! I knew I was excited about meeting you for some reason! lol ------------------ Scorpio Rising Moon in Sag Aries Sun IP: Logged |
