	The myth of the twelve labours of Heracles is one of the most important in Greek mythology. Although Heracles is not explicitly linked to any [[planet]], he repeatedly comes into contact with important astrological symbolic figures. It is also not difficult to see the analogy between the twelve labours and the twelve [[sign]]s of the zodiac.

	The '''tenth labour''', to obtain the Cattle of Geryon, corresponds to the sign of [[Sagittarius]]. Geryon was a fearsome three-headed monster who owned a large herd of cattle close to the Straits of Gibraltar which represented the boundary of the known world in ancient Greece. Heracles was given the task of driving the cattle to Argos in Greece. The outbound journey proved to be more adventurous than expected. Heracles was given help by the [[Sun]] god Helios, who lent him a golden bowl that he used to cross the sea from East to West each night. Having arrived at his destination, Heracles drove the cattle onto the bowl and shot Geryon down with an arrow that had been dipped in the venomous blood of the Lernaean Hydra. The journey back was even more adventurous. After Heracles had returned the golden bowl back to Helios, he crossed Spain and France on foot and lost his way, ending up on the shores of the Black Sea. From there he travelled to Italy and finally via Sicily back to Greece. He was ambushed many times and one night the herd was stolen from him. But Heracles managed to overcome all these dangers. When he finally arrived at the palace of King Eurytheus, who had given him the task, the latter was surprised to see the hero again after his long absence. An analogy between the tenth labour and the sign of Sagittarius would seem to be close at hand.

	The '''eleventh labour''', to steal the Golden Apples of Hesperides, corresponds to the sign of [[Scorpio]]. The Hesperides were daughters of Atlas, the bearer of the celestial sphere. The apples were found in a garden situated at the edge of the Western world near the Atlas mountains that was guarded by a dragon. They were a wedding present from Gaia to Hera. This time Heracles resorted to cunning rather than strength to achieve his task. He tricked Atlas by offering to carry the heavens for a while if Atlas would retrieve some of the golden apples in return. Atlas gladly accepted the offer because it gave him temporary relief from his arduous task. His daughters willingly gave him the apples. He began to enjoy his new role and decided that he would rather take the apples back to Greece himself. Heracles tricked Atlas again by agreeing to the reversal of roles on the condition that Atlas relieve him temporarily so that he could make his cloak more comfortable. Atlas agreed and Heracles seized his chance to take the apples and make his escape. The labour takes place at the boundary between the known world and the hereafter which astrology ascribes to the sign of Scorpio/[[Pluto]]. Some things are achieved by resorting to cunning or even deception, themes traditionally associated with the sign of Scorpio.

	Fatalism denies the existence of a human [[Free Will~~\|free will~~]], but this doesn't necessarily lead to a passive stance. The Stoics and other schools in Antiquity postulated the idea that moral behaviour remains meaningful even if it cannot influence fate.

	In astrology fatalism means accepting the impossibility of influencing the basic patterns in the natal chart. In its extreme form, this implies abdicating personal responsibility. Fatalistic astrology denies the possibility that the natal chart could be used as a basis for further development - of whatever kind - and reveals a latent potential that an individual may, or may not, realise. That is why extreme fatalism is rejected by [[Modern Astrology~~\|modern astrology~~]] ([[Revised Astrology]] and [[Psychological Astrology]]). On the other hand, if ~~[[Free Will\|~~free will]] totally prevailed, there would be little point in learning astrology, as horoscope factors would have little influence over one's personality and choices in life.
