Pallas, Athena in Greek mythology, was known s the goddess of wisdom. She is said to have spring fully armed and full grown from the brow of Jupiter, perhaps indicating the realm of wisdom over which she ruled. As the warrior goddess she became the protrectress of those in battle. She used her compassionate wisdom to teach merciful justice and peaceful resolution of dispute. Pallas was a patron of the arts and gave many creative gifts to humankind, and sometimes was known as a goddess of health. She was wise, helpful, objective, and known for her absolute chastity. She represents the creative, intelligent woman and, according to legend, stood in rank second in importance to Jupiter. From Pallas' influence, the feminine wisdom principle was able to adapt and grow within the emerging patriarchy of the time.

People who have Pallas prominent in their birth charts may serve or care for others - such as with healing techniques that integrate the mind and body - but show less emotional attachment than those with a Ceres emphasis. Pallas also indicates an interest in the pattern and structure of things and an ability to strategize and perceive intuitively and creatively. The influence of Pallas is similar to that of Leo, Libra, and Aquarius.

Examples: A woman who has Pallas conjunct her midheaven and Mercury may show a strong aptitude for auto mechanics. A doctor who chooses research in preventive medicine could have Pallas trine his ascendant.

Pallas in the 6th House: The daily work activity is where the pattern spotting ability comes into play. This can be a good placement for finding new ways to arrange and rearrange things on the job. It also favors jobs that demand the ability to deal with patterns.
