UPDATE 2010: As with anything, time, age and experiences increases one wisdom of understanding. I undertook a six-month work of love to redefine the Uranian planets into a modern context of understanding. And I produced these eight monographs on them. Now, twelve years later, with more knowledge and experience, I am adding my latest understanding of them in this blog.
MYTH:
Zeus’s father was Kronos (Romans called him Saturn) and he was the son of the Titans, Ouranos and Gaea. Kronos overthrew his father with the help of his mother. They became rulers of the universe. Then, Kronos married Rhea, his sister, and she gave birth to the great gods of Greek mythology, including Poseidon/Neptune. To prevent the reoccurrence of his father’s fate, Kronos swallowed each of his children as they were born. His last son born, Zeus, was hidden. When Zeus became old enough, he forced Kronos to vomit up his siblings, Hades, Hera, Hestaia, Demeter and Poseidon. They then overthrew the reign of the Titans. Poseidon/Neptune was assigned god of the Oceans by his brother Zeus.
SYMBOL: An arrow shooting skyward with a sextile aspect on its tail. Consider it an arrow on fires speeding through the Cosmos. Zeus was King of the Gods and threw ‘thunderbolts’ at people–i.e., the arrow with its tail on fire.

FLOWER & GEMSTONE ESSENCE CONSIDERATIONS FOR ZEUS
- African Daisy–when they lose their considerable temper.
- Bromeliad, red/yellow–when they not only lose their temper, but they come abusive or are an abuser in the physical aspects of abuse.
- Spanish Bayonet Yucca–when they are always irritable and over things that shouldn’t provoke such a nasty response.
- Tree Peony–to pull very deep suppression or repression that they don’t want to deal with, up into conscious ‘light of day’ for them to work through.
- Century Plant–at any time, because Zeus has the power to suppress a lot for a long time and this is one essence that will make the breakthrough before they breakdown.
- Crested Prickle Poppy–to activate their subconscious, to dream at night to get in touch with their ‘garbage’ and suppressions/repression in a highly active mode. They will appreciate using their sleep time as a ‘work time’ to deal with Shadow (Jung) issues. Helps with insomnia.
- Cottage Pinks–if they are ‘down’ and recuperating, this essence gives them back some physical energy so they don’t tire as easily.
- Aquamarine–to help create peace and patience in them when they are recovering from an illness, or when they are under brutal stress and demands from life.
- Petrified Sequoia–to give them the added perspective of patience, because they have very little. To help them persevere through a situation without flaring with impatience.
- Bromeliad, Red–to shift their considerable power and energy to a more level playing field of seeing the macrocosm/overview on some situation. This adds the spiritual perspective, which engages one’s patience.
- Ruby–if the person is suffering from a chronic disease and needs energy, this is the one to use (do NOT use if they have cancer!). Will give them a large burst of physical energy.
- Cottonwood Tree–for extremists, such a Zeus, and who finds him/herself in extremes of situations that are incredibly stressful.
- Fireweed–when Zeus ‘burns’ her/himself out, and they are in an exhaustion phase, this essence will help to restore them to their original fiery mode. To be used when they are in exhaustion phase.
