Aquila

This noble metal is believed to enhance mental well-being and have anti-inflammatory and anti-aging benefits. Cleopatra famously wore a gold mask to maintain radiant skin, believing it had rejuvenating effects. Divinity, enlightenment and higher consciousness add to the natural beauty of this element.

In Central America, the Mayans and the Aztecs prized Jade and used it for medicinal purposes, jewellery, ornaments and religious artifacts. A symbol of serenity and purity, Jade is a nourishing stone that symbolises prosperity, success, and good luck.

In mythology, Aquila is often associated with Zeus (Jupiter in Roman mythology), the king of the gods. The constellation represents the eagle that served as Zeus's messenger and was responsible for carrying his thunderbolts. Additionally, Aquila is linked to the story of Ganymede, a beautiful Trojan prince whom Zeus abducted and brought to Mount Olympus to serve as the cupbearer of the gods. This connection is significant as Ganymede is represented by the neighbouring constellation Aquarius.

Aquila serves as a powerful symbol in mythology, representing strength, courage, and the connection between the earth and the sky. Its stories reflect the importance of eagles in ancient cultures, often seen as messengers of the gods or symbols of divine power. The constellation remains a significant feature in the night sky, reminding us of its rich mythological heritage.
