I’ve read a lot of interpretations of this point online and the “consensus” seems to be that it represents merging and that it it the complete opposite of Lilith in that it represents masculine sexuality. But something doesn’t sit right with me. These interpretations aren’t satisfying at all considering there are individuals who have this point conjunct their personal planets, including myself. I have some questions about “Priapus”.
1. Why do we use the myth of Priapus for reference of this point?There doesn’t seem to be much correlation. I feel like this is a misnomer that is creating some biased thought patterns. I’m not sure how the name came about but it seems as though the name and myth is being use it to define this point in its entirety and it seems limit to the potential for actually understanding this point. I don’t think the myth represents this point well enough.
2. The common assumption is since it’s supposedly “opposite” Lilith(Divine Feminity/ Feminine sexuality) it’s suppose to LITERALLY represent the opposite Divine Masculine/ Masculine sexuality. The issue here is that Lilith is referred to being the “dark side” of the moon and is a facet of femininity. So why is the opposite point not also a representation of feminity. Why not the “white side” of the moon? Why not a “hypermoon”?
I feel like considering these three elements Lilith, Moon, and “Priapus” perhaps this presents a “litmus”.
Lilith <— Moon —> “Priapus”
Lilith and Priapus both being “extremes” of the moons function and Moon being “neutral” or “balanced” expression?
I’m happy to hear some thoughts.
