![]() ![]() The Aries Point amplifies private matters into the public realm. Like astrology, this should not work, but it does.Īll that being said, when Salacia entered Aries in 2017, things started to get pretty darned salacious rather fast, in that Aries Point kind of way - where the personal and the political get in one another’s faces. But in large doses, it induces malaria-like symptoms - and is a homeopathic remedy for this serious and difficult-to-cure illness. The remedy China officinalis has nothing to do with China, nor with malaria. That would come out in various proving experiences. And knowing this, we cannot just leap to the conclusion that Salacia is salacious. However, etymology is not an exact science, and there are all kinds of strange bedfellows, independent words merged into one, and things that sound alike but are not really so alike. While we’re on etymology, that of Salacia, the goddess of the salty sea, comes from the Proto-Indo-European root sal, meaning salt. So to be salacious is to stand out (like a penis) and then spring into action (like a leaping animal, or maybe a dancer). This seems to derive from the Latin verb salientem, which means to leap. The word salacious (unrelated to Salacia) is related to salient, one of my favorite words, which means to stand out.

I say she’s in an unusual orbit because many objects in the Kuiper Belt are at around a 250-year orbit (similar to Pluto or Orcus) or a 290-year orbit (similar to 1992 QB1/Albion, Varuna, or Quaoar). ![]() So she’s a little further out than Pluto, and seems to be part of the Kuiper Belt. 22, 2004, with an unusual 272-year orbit. She is the goddess of salt water who presides over the ocean. In Roman mythology, Salacia is the sea-nymph consort to Neptune ( covered in detail last week).
