quote:
Tyche (meaning "luck"; Roman equivalent: Fortuna) was the presiding tutelary deity that governed the fortune and prosperity of a city, its destiny. She is the daughter of Aphrodite and Zeus or Hermes.

In literature, she might be given various genealogies, as a daughter of Hermes and Aphrodite, or considered as one of the Oceanids, daughters of Oceanus and Tethys, or of Zeus. She was connected with Nemesis and Agathos Daimon ("good spirit").

The Greek historian Polybius believed that when no cause can be discovered to events such as floods, droughts, frosts or even in politics, then the cause of these events may be fairly attributed to Tyche.

....

Stylianos Spyridakis concisely expressed Tyche's appeal in a Hellenistic world of arbitrary violence and unmeaning reverses: "In the turbulent years of the Epigoni of Alexander, an awareness of the instability of human affairs led people to believe that Tyche, the blind mistress of Fortune, governed mankind with an inconstancy which explained the vicissitudes of the time.

I have:

15.47 Cap sun
16.07 Cap Tyche
16.01 Aries Jupiter
16.01 Gemini Mars

Not sure what it means but I've always felt lucky, or as if my life course is heavily determined by luck. So I trust my luck. Not always and in every way but it's like I know my safety net is there. Even if it's not there, I believe in it and act like it is. Which seems to have a self-fulfilling prophecy effect (Law of Attraction, or whatever you would call it.) This is part of the reason for my screen name being what it is: faith in positive outcomes.

As for lucky incidents, one of the most striking examples I can give is, I was not even harmed in two serious car accidents where the car was destroyed. It wasn't lucky to go through that, but since I did, at least I got to feel almost supernaturally protected.

Tell me about your luck?

Wow, cool stuff!

Oh yes, I remember reading about one of them, I think. The one with the Mac truck on the highway? Lady Luck is more complicated than winning the lottery, right--? She works in mysterious ways - protecting one from harm when it would normally, rationally be impossible to be unharmed, is one of them. Glad you were safe both times.

Will check this out in my chart and report back.

P.S. Hey, you didn't mention the sign your TYCHE is in..!

ROTFL

Didn't get enough sleep last night. Fixing it.

Thanks for your comment...greedily waiting for more.

The other time, my friends and I were traveling at night, and the driver (my friend's boyfriend) went around a curve too fast and it spun out of control, rolling over into a ditch. Others in the car got cut up and scraped, but I don't remember even a bruise. That time, again, the car was not salvageable.

Wow - you have permanent car-immunity! *touch wood* Your Tyche-Sun conjunction is pretty darn close..

Hey, one of my aspects is like yours.. My Tyche is at 22° Libra, conjunct my Sun by 1°x'.

But conjunct-my-sun makes it semi-square my Venus-Jupiter. Mixed blessings?

I have gotten out of some really tough spots. But it's like, when my 'luck' is good, it's simply great - all good news comes raining down at once. When it's bad, it's pretty awful. 'Many a slip between the cup & the lip' - normal things, that come easy to 99% of the population, turn into catastrophes for me. Or they become ridiculously hard, and I have to jump through many hoops to get things going.

I dunno, it's the Mars-Saturn & Sun-Saturn squares that cause too many obstacles maybe? (Or 8th house issues that land me in those situations in the first place). And then the holy trinity of Tyche, Venus & Jupiter come to the rescue - at different times.

Ain't that a peach? We both have this, sun conjunct Tyche!

I can sympathize with all you wrote.

Yes, strange turnarounds in luck & fortune...tragedy and seredipity...I think others have noticed this about me, over the course of my life. I'm not out shopping for drama it just lands on my doorstep.

And you are so young but seem to have dealt with so much big stuff already. No wonder you're so mature. It's like I can hear your spirit creaking under all this pressure. <3 Good creaking sounds though...graceful and strong like a rocking chair.

Tyche transiting @ 11 Leo today

Wow, that's incredible, Fath! I wish I has Tyche conjunct Sun.
Wait...I do have tyche conjunct Sun, but widely - by 3-4 degrees.

I have Tyche (Cancer 8th house) conjunct
Candy (lol )
Victoria (hell yeah!)
Vanadis (luck in love?)
Shakespeare (should I be an actress? )
Euterpe (or musician? )
Helena (luck in... beauty? )

...and trine Saturn (Pisces) and Adonis/Nessus (Scorpio)

^ What a nice lineup! I like all the smiles.

Isn't this lucky, we all have sun-Tyche???

(Yes I'm cheating a bit with you but it's close enough to be a good coincidence!)

Do you have music/acting talent and ambitions?

I have sun conjunct
Hyperborea
Tyche
Kama
...and something else...I forget....

Some day maybe it'll all come together for me, making sense.

Gosh, you are too kind... I literally felt a slight weight off my shoulders just reading that.
I'm gonna need a lot of your Cappy sense & Pisces moon wisdom in the future, so stay tuned.
