PLEIADES

THE SEVEN SISTERS OF THE SKY

Once upon a time, when the sky still spoke to humankind, there was a cluster of stars that didn’t just shine to light the night—they glowed to tell the story of the soul. They were daughters of the Titan Atlas and the Oceanid Pleione, born from the union of strength and grace, and transformed into light through time and sorrow. When Orion, the tireless hunter, began to pursue them without end, Zeus saved them by placing them among the stars. And so, high above, the Seven Sisters began to shine—not all alike, not always visible, but each carrying a different secret. Even now, on clear nights, above fields and over the sea, they can still be seen: small, clustered close together, like a luminous whisper drifting across the sky.

Electra is the wound that glows. She is the star of iron and gold—the one who dimmed from grief but chose to remain visible, like a shining scar on the sky’s face. A sign that even a broken heart can still shine.

Taygete is the star who flees. Not out of fear, but out of modesty. Her sage-green light—dim and delicate—is like a leaf hidden among branches. She avoids being seen, but those who find her uncover a truth as clear as mountain water.

The other five Maia, Alcyone, Celaeno, Merope, and Sterope will reveal themselves to us later.
