Personal Deity
I've read that in Neoplatonism knowing one's patron or personal deity is important for working back towards the One. I've also heard some say that one does not choose a patron, but rather one discovers their patron in order to work within that chain.
I've been trying to find my patron and I have many signs pointing in one direction: born on a Monday night under the Waxing Crescent Moon, Cancer sun sign, natural psychic ability, vivid dreamer, admittedly emotional & moody, guarded and somewhat secretive... to me, Selene or Artemis stands out clear as day.
However, I've calculated my natal chart according to Neoplatonic teachings and reach a different conclusion. My Oikodespotes is Venus and Kurios is Jupiter (the Moon is my Predominator). Jupiter shows up repeatedly and strongly. Interestingly, this mirrors my Vedic astrological chart. My Atmakaraka is Venus and my Ishta Devata-- using several methods of calculation-- is Vishnu.
Theurgically speaking, should the information gained from my natal chart (Venus & Jupiter) override other signs or feelings of attachment?
