Anyone have any info or thoughts on the asteroid 78 Diana? I have it conjunct my Pisces moon by less than one degree in the 7th house. I could easily describe much of my personality as Diana-like, especially with how I relate (or rather, don't rather) to traditional gender roles and to patriarchy, but I'm not sure I should attribute it to this asteroid or to the predominance of air in my chart, namely my Aqua Mars and 1st house Uranus.IP: Logged |

I have Diana in the 7th house as well, in Aries and I completely hear you about the Patriarchy business. To me it's like a war. I have never been afraid to speak my mind to men and I am not afraid of even a big man yelling at me. Not that that ever happens, but I don't think I would ever back down. I tend to date attractive men that are strong, but also very feminine in nature. My b/f is a Libra/Taurus/Taurus triad and he is SO venusian. I am attracted to women/I like strong women, wise ones, I belong to a few womens only circles. I have a very hard time tolerating any kind of sexism, but I don't think women are better than men. reminds me of Bjork's Pagan Poetry song, "But he makes me want to hand myself over...I love him, I love him, I love him....This time I am going to keep me to myself. This time, I'm gonna keep me ALL to myself" I can't handle any man trying to tame the wild, feral parts of me...the parts that hold rituals at full moons, read tarot....it freaks most guys out. I think one of the reasons I am so in love with my Partner is that he doesnt' try to change those parts of me, and even involves himself sometimes. IP: Logged |

I'm a hardcore feminist myself. And I love men. I especially love men who are feminists.I too love men who exhibit more a blending of femininity and mansculinity rather than trying to be a walking caricature of what our society thinks masculinity is. I don't believe in a rigid gender binary and I think patriarchy hurts men as well as women, not to mention anyone who feels excluded by the woman/man binary. I tend to be attracted to creative types--they are far less likely to adhere to strict gender roles. Personality-wise I prefer men who aren't competative or really aggressive in obtaining status or social power, who put more prioty is being part of a community, as opposed to trying to get ahead of everyone else. Physically, I like men who are perhaps a little androgynous is a way. And definitely, absolutely NO GUNS. I hate guns. i once signed up with Match.com, and among the first batch of "matches" as a police officer. I went back and foudn there was no way to filter out men who liked guns or whose jobs involved guns, so I deleted my profile! I'm pretty fierce about protecting my sense of indivudality in relationships. Others must accept me as I am, or I won't let them in. People, especially men, who make me feel crowded will drive me to dart off into the proverbial treeline, never to be seen again--and if anyone hunts me down, I'll sic my dogs on them, figuratively speaking. Funny thing is, I've been stalked more time than I can count. Some guys seem to think it's a good idea to chase after me--it's definitely not. I generally consider myself an agnostic, but in my heart of hearts, I'm a pretty feral pagan girl myself. Nature and animals are my center. I don't know if there's an aferworld or not--all that matters is what I can know and see exists right now. And I don't seek approval from society--I just want society to let me be who I am amd I want everything and everyone to be natural and authentic, however noncomformist with society that may be. The myth of Diana is a pretty powerful one for me. I identify with it a lot, even some of the less flattering variations. IP: Logged |

Yes! A man that is also a 'Feminist" which my partner totally is. He would stand up for a woman being treated poorly by a man and whenever he does that, I feel intense surges of love and admiration, not jealousy. My real name is Diana actually, and I have a Sun and Venus cancer...also born on a full moon so I have always held that particular Goddess very special. It made so much sense to me when I discovered it in my 7th house. IP: Logged | |
