>We don't exactly have much to go off of when it comes to any of Hecatia's potential plans for the moonies beyond LoLK either, right? She resents them as a whole for multiple reasons, yes, but she hasn't really followed-through with any direct action after her initial Dreamland scheme has she? Has she just been keeping an eye on Gensokyo as a whole since then?
I don't think she had actual plans to do anything to the Lunarians before or after.
Her involvement completely blindsided even Eirin, which seems unlikely if she was already an established enemy of the Lunar Capital.
Hecatia only got involved because Junko asked her for help, but otherwise seems to just leave them alone well enough, which is in line with her established personality where she thinks people are free to do as they like, so as long as they're just being cunts on the far side of the moon, Hecatia will leave them alone and just occasionally talk shit about them.
My guess as to why Hecatia chose to help Junko references the most famous myth Hecate is involved with, the Rape of Persephone, where she decided to aid Demeter in the search for her daughter. Hecatia just has a soft spot for mothers angry about her children.
Now that Junko's current revenge plot ended and Hecatia has no direct motivation to act against the Lunarians again, she just focuses on her plan to revitalize Hell by introducing nature, which is why she's gotten involved with Gensokyo. Or maybe that's just her Earth-body's plans, and the other two may be different.

Personally, I'd like to know more about the level of influence she has over Hell, and the difference between the Earth, Moon, and Otherworld hells.
From her profile in SCoOW, it's implied that she used to rule Hell much more directly (though the wiki translation seems to have skipped "以前" in the sentence, but is nowadays considered an outlaw, which may explain why the Yama are implied to be in control of Hell. I wish we got more details about Hell's functioning, since despite it being so prominent in Touhou the past years, we still know little about it.

She held a position of importance under Cronus, and retained it (and received even more) when Zeus took charge, but it's hard to tell what she's supposed to be.
Generally, her parentage is considered to be of two children of the Titans, so you could consider her to be one of their number, but the Olympians were also children of Titans, but they're never considered part of their numbers, and the Titans were more of an affiliation than a distinct species, so you could also consider Hecate a goddess distinct from either the Titans.
All that's certain is that Hecate is a seriously weird girl, and I think that suits Hecatia just fine.

As an aside, in supporting the Olympians, it can be assumed that Hecate went against her own parents, but I like to imagine that Hecatia is still on good terms with them, and regularly visits them down in Tartarus.
