Saturn is harsh in astrology, as it is said to bring anything negative and dark - including death, violence, sadness, fear, and misfortune. Saturn is associated with the mythological Roman god of the same name. He was known as the god of agriculture, justice, and strength; he was also harsh, considering he devoured his children in order to keep his power.

Due to their incredible hunting skills, hawks are often seen as symbols of death, violence, and they also represent those who prey upon the weak. On the other hand, hawks are extremely majestic creatures. They represent our longing for freedom. They represent that we need to be aware of our power and to be respectful to those we interact with. Hawks have amazing vision, so they tell us to focus on areas of our life that need our attention. They are also messengers. In Roman/Greek mythology, the hawk was sacred to and the messenger of Apollo - who is seen as the god of light, truth, prophecy, healing, and music.

The hibiscus flower is associated with the meaning "delicate beauty" to Europeans. In Tahitian culture, a woman would wear a single red hibiscus flower behind the ear to indicate her availability for marriage.


Well then. With that being said, view this piece however you wish. And I apologize if any of the information above is incorrect; I pretty much never research astrology. I sometimes research mythology, but not very often.

Definitely one of my personal favourites.

Thanks so much! I'm glad you think so. As an experiment, I'm thinking about editing it further in Photoshop to add color.

I find greek mythology to be quite interesting, of course I don't believe 'in' it but I've been fascinated with it since I watched a cartoon called 'cyborg 009.' when I was younger.
Apollo was always my favorite, cool name, awesome abilities, and surpassingly handsome. And that hawk stuff sounds pretty punch on.
As you already know, I LOVE this piece!

Same here! Mythology in general, no matter the culture, is just fascinating to begin with. Especially Roman and Greek mythology. I think it's interesting they had a person to represent everything you could think of. XD
Apollo is a cool name!

And thanks again.

Definitely, I agree 100%.
It's cool to learn about, even without it being true, somethings make sense. XD

Always!
