About Narcissus

In astrology, the asteroid Narcissus is often associated with themes of self-focus, vanity, and the exploration of one’s self-image. Named after the Greek mythological character Narcissus, who fell in love with his own reflection, this celestial body can highlight areas where individuals might be overly preoccupied with their appearance or self-perception. It encourages introspection and can reveal whether a healthy level of self-love is present or if one is tipping towards narcissism. In a natal chart, Narcissus can indicate where personal self-esteem issues require attention or transformation, urging an individual to balance self-interest with empathy and awareness of others. Its placement may also suggest lessons in humility and the importance of seeing beyond the mirror to foster genuine connections.
