Alkes Astrology

Alkes has always portended eminence to those born under its influence.[1]

This sacred cup is also associated with prophetic ability as various vessels cross-culturally have versions of it. ie: the Holy Grail or the Cauldron of Bran. Therefore Alkes can be a gift, something precious carried by an individual to pass down the generations of the family, like artistic, musical or psychic ability. Alkes’ talent is usually of a Neptunian nature. [2]

Constellation Crater

Crater is like Venus and in some degree like Mercury (idealistic, psychic, handsome, neat, lovable, refined, genteel, intelligent.). It gives a kind, generous, cheerful, receptive, passionate and hospitable nature, with good mental abilities, but subject to apprehension and indecision. There is a disordered life full of sudden and unexpected events, and great danger of unhappiness, but usually some eminence. [3]

The constellation gives good mental abilities, but there can also be sudden changes and unexpected events. [1]
