Nemausa
Nemausa, an asteroid named for the Celtic spring deity and genius of Nimes, is read in modern astrology as the asteroid of the genius and spirit of place, sacred springs and healing waters, and the local, civic, and ancestral roots that nourish a community. Read Nemausa by its sign, house, and aspects to find where this principle works in the chart.
Lean in — Work consciously with Nemausa's theme of sacred springs, the spirit of place, and healing waters where it falls.
Watch for — Dismiss Nemausa as too obscure; its theme acts whether or not you name it.
