Name meaning & mythology

The Hawai'ian goddess of fertility and childbirth. Her children were born from various parts of her body. Pele was the only one born in the usual way.



Astrology in a nutshell

Everything about this planet – the Sabian, the name and even the shape – is suggestive of fertility, creativity and new life, as well as the pains of the birthing process. A realistic view of birth, as opposed to a romantic one. There is a sense of following on from Pluto – death leading to rebirth, and also possibly to a new maturity and wisdom.
