Had a conversation with the parents tonight about my nature. lol. They might as well commit me now! My mom said to me: “you were always 10 years ahead of everyone” and “it’s like you’re always thirsty and you never get to drink!”. To which I ironically smiled and said that the constellation Corvus [the Raven] is a very important one in my chart.

Apollo gave a feast to Jupiter and requiring water sent the raven with a cup (Crater) to fetch some. On his way the raven noticed a fig tree, and, resting there until the figs became ripe, feasted himself upon them until, remembering his errand and fearing the anger of Apollo, he picked up a snake (Hydra) and on his return gave as an excuse that the hydra had prevented him from filling the cup by having kept the spring from flowing, this being the cause of the delay. The god was not deceived by the lie and ordained in punishment that the raven should never drink so long as figs were not ripe. Apollo placed the raven (Corvus), cup (Crater) and snake (Hydra) in the heavens as a memorial, where the Water-snake guards the water from the everlastingly thirsty Raven. Corvus now sits within sight of the Cup of water, but he can never drink.

Tragic story isn’t it? How sad I don’t believe it, or should I say, this Raven is going to keep squirming for water. Good thing I don’t like figs.
