History. Formed by La Caille in 1752 from stars in the mast of Argo.
Influence. It is said to give a wise, ambitious and steady nature, good judgment and interest in nautical and geographical matters. [3]
Allen
Pyxis was formed by La Caille from stars in the Mast of Argo, and so associated with the Ship, although there, of course, it is an anachronism.
Baily reannexed it to Argo, since four of its members had been placed by Ptolemy where La Caille found them, so that for a time it fell into disuse; but Gould inserted it in his Uranometria Argentina of 1879, with sixty-six stars from 3.8 to 7th magnitudes. [4]

A compass to keep the ship steady. How refreshing amidst stormy seas. Argo, just looking at it, brings a sense of balance for some reason.
Jeesh. Mythology of that ship could keep me busy a long long time.
The February 12 full moon is ocnjunct Zeta Pyxidis.
It’s a double star? Does that imply anything astrologically? All it suggests to me is balance between forces, combined energy field. But they are actually far apart so I don’t know, they might just look that way from earth.
There are many double, triple, quadruple stars. So not the only one with partners anyway.
Do the multiple star stars increase what is called magnitude? I am getting that magnitude, maybe emission amount, increase their importance?
Well I got this one all arse backward. Like 1st magnitude is actually brighter than 6th magnitude.
This star stuff is interesting, but Jeesh dare I go further.
Yeah if you combine the light from them they seem brighter than alone…
Hi Jsmie all very interesting and always thx for yr valuable wok at first.
I only have a systematical or grammatical question to all that and i explain it through one example:
@phyix is at the same degree as @hydra alphard. Maybe you can find and combine the influence of thousands of outer stars and deep space objects too.
So now my question is: if you have to combine all these diffetent influences one degree of zodiac how can you come to any valuable conclusion meaningwise without getting arbitrary? How about staying in a believable zone with astrology that way in the end?
Good question Klaus. The bigger magnitude star dominate, especially the ones that have been written about for thousands of years. Their effect in known to be significant. With the smaller magntiude stars, I think we can combine their influence if they are on the same degree. I should have my full list ready in a few months.
thx Jamie it is difficult not to get too confused in astrology… 😉
Follow your compass Klaus! 🤣. Possibilities abound.
I ain’t no Zeus, but I trudged thru the snow to the woodlot to listen to the trees. All they said was, get this friggin invasive buckthorn lopped off, it’s crowding out the sun for our youngins. Athena pushy sometimes. 😊
Pallas Athena ? You have her strong ?
🤣. I thought I did. But since I just went sidereal I am not sure. Am adjusting to planetary placements and luminaries.
Was referring to mythology of Zeus giving timber of Athena wisdom to Argo as compass. So I visited my tree lot to see if mine would offer guidance and I just got orders. Missed clearing invasives last year due to the thing. Cannot wait to get back to stewarding my little piece of earth. I guess I was laughing at myself. But with the compass active in upcoming full moon I might look at that. Gotta start somewhere re-asteroiding. I am so friggin comfortable with the sidereal. No friggin mystery. I am not that complicated after all. And I can see stuff I am seeing in the outer clime in the current chart. Dare I say I feel normal. 🤣🤣🤣
Now maybe you found some trollz too ? 🙂
Me? I’m more gnomey here on the ground.
I have had some Filipino trolls of that is what you mean. They first texted me to call them about some 2019 bil l that was overdue. Hunh? Then they texted me that I owed on a toll bill. After scratching my head over where’d they come up with that, I remembered a 2019 road trip. A co-worker lent me her freeway toll card so I wouldn’t get hung up at toll booths on interstate hwys, it would be charged to company account. Very weird. But that’s trolls.
I think the country code for Filipines was 63. Kinduv a giveaway to not respond.
So what’s their compass????
I don’t think criminal activity has anything to do with wisdom of Athena.
Pallas Athena would recognise a pattern, and divide the compass pi according to the rules of engagement?
Fraud is their compass Vic. I have experienced such things many times in germany too. Nuttin special just “normal” money laundering s**t and theft…
So it’s fleecing. Phryxis was the character who took the fleece from the golden ram. Looking at the overall myth, I have now completely trashed my original calming thoughts of a ship steady at sea.🙄

Well, there you go, rules of engagement have been thrown out in America. Rules of any kind They still exist in writing I think as I haven’t heard that they have been done in yet. Includes rules about civilian treatment. But that would not serve the current’s delight in punishing and torturing for shock and awe attention. And we got a drunk newscaster at the helm in America. Yegads.
Thank you all-Vic, Klaus and to all Jamie does in his voluminous studies and continuum. Used to read the rudimentary Mark Lerner Daily Planet Position short horoscope. This here is now IT for me. Much thanks to your lively discussions. Now I also look forward to the comments.
Oh my goodness, franchesca, don’t encourage me. I have been stumbling around here like a drunken organism. But glad you enjoyed my stupor. Mythology is like that for me. A trip that can take me anywhere.
I have always looked for some kind of unified theory of everything, but maybe it’s all about a bunch of stumbling organisms trying not to crash and burn. Sweet sailing to you.
Free floating thoughts Francesca thx and a minimum censorship by Jamie thx to him!
