asteroid apollo in astrology
apollo is your inner radiant healer. the part of you that brings clarity into a room. wherever apollo sits in your chart, you have access to a kind of bright, organizing energy. you can name what is wrong. you can play the song that makes everyone cry. you can speak the sentence that ends a spiral. apollo is also the placement of the divine masculine, the warm father energy, the golden hour version of you. it is healing through illumination, not through softening. apollo does not coddle. he turns the lights on and lets the truth do the medicine.
the myth behind apollo
apollo is the greek god of the sun, music, prophecy, healing, and light. son of zeus, twin of artemis, he drives the chariot of the sun across the sky. he is also the god of plague, the same hand that heals can wound, and that paradox sits at the center of his myth.
