Four of Wands ~ Hydra ~
Astrological harmonic/mode - Square
Constellation - Hydra
Decanate - 1st Leo
Ruler of decan - Sun
Hydra born of Typhon and Echidna, was an enormous serpent with nine heads. Its den was a marsh near Lerna in the Peloponnese. It would issue forth to ravage the herds and crops, its breath moreover was so poisonous that whoever felt it fell dead. Accompanied byh Iolaus, son of Iphicles, Hercules arrived at Lerna, found the monster near the spring of Amymone and forced it to emerge from the marshes by means of his mighty club. But in vain; for every time he struck off one of the hydra's nine heads tow grew in its place. Then Iolaus set the neighbouring forest on fire and with the help of the red-hot brands burnt the serpent's headds. Hercules cut off the final head and buried it. Then he soaked his arrows in the hydra's blood which made them poisonous and deadly.
