Pillbox has me reading into Orion and Ophiuchus more. Ofc I'm drawn to read about ophiuchus more so
Ophiuchus is the fully realized woman, or feminine power. Both male and female Ophiuchus exhibit the complete spectrum of the female archetype, one who can also display the strength and persistence as well as the accepted female attributes. The Ophiuchus is the ancient incarnation of women, the symbol of birth and death, and not just the highly restricted roles that women are allowed to play in modern times. Ophiuchus' world does not just revolve around men, having babies, fitting in, sexuality or the family. Ophiuchus is the center of such experiences, but she's independent, her own person in her own right.
Ophiuchus doesn't just aspire to be what others want them to be. She is adamant in her resistance to those who would violate her or her coven and covenant. Ophiuchus does not try to form herself into a image, she is the real thing. Ophiuchus is the original woman, with all her powers. Since the dawning of man's violence and oppression, she has had to preserve herself against domination. She has had to dominate. In a hostile world, she has had to hide her true power from her enemies.
Her manifestation is for the betterment of humanity. Yet she is also paranoid and vengeful, smarting from the hatred and persecution of systemic extinction.
Ophiuchus was born to lead us through the labyrinth of life and death. She both our midwife and coroner. She obeys no god, tyrant, guru nor saint, she does what Mother Nature has instructed her to do. In society's tyranny she has only reaped grief, torture and death. Yet she still refuses to knuckle down, to be a slave. She will not succumb to man's will and has proved her point by dying a million deaths and hiding in the shadows until her rebirth is assured.
(From The Book of Ophiuchus)
