Good for making money...? Good for turning things into gold, so to speak...? ;-)

I never thought about it before I saw the title of Vertiver's thread.

Yep, that's what came to my mind too... I'm not like that, though. I'm not interested in making money for the sake of money. I value my closest relationships more than anything.

But... if I set my mind on it, then I'm good at financial stuff.

I have no idea how this manifests.

The Sabian for it says (Virgo 3.55):

PHASE 154 (VIRGO 4°): BLACK AND WHITE CHILDREN PLAY TOGETHER HAPPILY.

KEYNOTE: The overcoming of socio-cultural prejudices.

I have only a vague idea of what it means, but interesting nonetheless especially because my DC is in Sagittarius.

It`s retograde on 3 Leo in my 8th house, conjunct Hypnos on 6 Leo, trine IC, Aura and Alma on 4 - 6 Aries, trine Amor and Mars on 2-5 Sagittarius and squaring Uranus on 1 Scorpio.

The Sabian is pretty ugly, too.

EDIT:
Maybe the most interesting thing about it is that it falls into a Water house, connecting some planets and asteroids in the other waterhouses.

Hmmm...

This thread is kinda depressing. This is when one must go above the blueprint of the chart and make new a plan. Story of my life, i.e. transcending above one's origins.

From now on I'll start paying closer attention to my Midas as it's sitting on the ASC angle...

5* Midas cnj (*Sceptrum/Prima Hyadum*)
cnj 4* (*Menkib*) Neith
cnj 3* MC and Sapientia
Gemini - 10h

5* Aquarius 5th house - Vertex Ptah Phoinix Shulamith Actor Sayo-hime

5* Libra 2nd house - (*Tureis*) Bella Latona Metis Procol-Harum

(3* Libra 2nd house - *Nodus 1 Aldhibhah*) Atlantis

opposition - Sagittarius 4h ~IC 3* (*Yed Posterior*) Belisana Nephele Thora
5* Donar Ophelia Siberia Briede

there's a solar/lunar touch to everything Midas seems to aspect... plus, ~Qd of Venus-SN

If he brings me wealth or wisdom or both, at least he's in the 10th house, I'm content with that much, at least! ^^;

>.>; Thereus, not so much... cnj Nessus 12th house cusp, but at least these two naughty centaurs have Chiron and Pholus watching over them and hopefully keeping them in order. Thereus is not a nice companion for anyone, (both mythological Thereuses were not good characters). Theseus, kinda good - at least he was a hero, but Thereus, centaur brute who had no respect for the life of the planet. ^^; Thereus is even more corrupt than Nessus, in how Nessus sought to abduct the new wife of Hercules (which by surviving text to be the fault of the arrows of Eros, at the bidding of either Hera or the scheming of the fates and Olympians to ensure he join them at that time (mortals days are numbered, Zeus wanted to keep his son with him without breaking the laws of humanity that he had set up) ~ or others state it was for one of his prior misdeeds towards one of the Olympians; in other words Nessus was a pawn and not completely in his right senses at that time (not that the centauri are known for having the greatest sense of morality to begin with), but Thereus would have slain anything he encountered with a heartbeat, regardless of everything else, just for the thrill and accomplishment of having defeated another living thing/hubris. Guess you could say... I'm not a very big fan of Thereus; or Nessus for that matter... hahaha bad dudes~ lol! (so you can also see why I hate having them together in my natal) XD I'm on the fence with having them trine Eris-Pholus (8h), guess I gotta watch out for their diabolical influence within my 12h ~ ohjoy! haha

Midas is a precautionary tale, wealth, wisdom, and management, appreciation/contentment are the key words I'd use to describe his place in the astroworld.
