About Leucothea: In Greek tradition, this woman gave birth to the
centaurs and was a wet nurse to Dionysus. Her name translates as "milk-white Goddess," alluding to a strong maternal nature. In later times she became a Sea Goddess, bearing the visage of a mermaid. Through this transformation we see the mingling of the spiritual nature (water) with that of the earth (half-human appearance) to create Sagittarius's customary energies.
To Do Today: In astrology, Sagittarius is the centurion archer who
represents a harmonious mingling of physical and spiritual living. Those born under this sign tend toward idealism, upbeat outlooks, and confidence. Like Leucothea, Sagittarians seem to have a strong drive for justice, especially for those under their care. To consume a bit of Leuthocea's maternal nature or invoke her spiritual balance in your life, make sure to include milk or milk products in your diet today. Or, wear something white to figuratively don her power. For help with personal transformations, especially those that encourage personal comfort and tranquility, soak in a nice, long saltwater or milk bath today. As you do, ask Leucothea to show you the right steps to take next..
