I found this while I was browsing the other day by Georgia Stathis, I copied and pasted the asteroid parts, it is quite interesting to say the least. A question though, how powerful are the asteroids in comparison to luminaries and planets in synastry? I mean if we want to look into soul mate indicators for example, should we add PSYCHE conjunction, for instance? Just thinking in a loud voice, please enjoy the read and try them on the astro.com EXTENDED CHART!

Sexual and Relationship Asteroids:
* Juno/Hera - The Goddess of Marriage and
commitment in relationships. Check synastry for connections. Transits and progressions can signify timing of marriage.
* Aphrodite - indicates attraction in synastry.
*Adonis - an attractive male. What your ideal
male is. What is your Adonis by sign and house?
* Eros - God of erotic love. Represents what
turns you on, sexual attraction.
* Lust - Sexually motivated, lustful. Lascivious personality or behavior. Non-committed sex. President Clinton has Lust conjunct his ASC, as does Gene Simmons of KISS.

* Cupido - Indicator of sexual attraction in
synastry. Matchmaker, vain, romantic.
* Nymphe - An overly-sexed individual. An
indicator of sexual addiction.
* Casanova - Apromiscuous male. Seducer of
women. A player, uncommitted.
* Bacchus/Dionysus - Sexual orgies, groupies,
highly sexual and unrestrained.
* Sappho - Can be an indicator of same sex
attraction, especially in a woman’s chart.
* Ganymede - An indicator of same sex attraction between men. Ganymede was the lover of Zeus.
* Amor - Unconditional love, how you express it.

Medical Asteroids:
*Apollo - God of healing, teacher to Chiron and Father of Asklepios.
* Aescualpia (Asklepios or Askalaphus) - God of healing. Taught by Chiron; can indicate a healer as well as timing for medical attention.
* Hygeia - Goddess of health and hygiene. Refers to cleanliness and health efforts, well being.
* Panacea - Goddess of cures. The “cure-all,”
remedies. All types of cures, from conventional to alternative.
* Makhaon - Son of Asklepius, he is associated with surgery; can indicate timing of surgery by transit or progression.
* Podalerios - Son of Asklepius; associated with the healing of invisible wounds, the healing of the soul and of the mind/body.
*Reiki - Represents energy healing, healing with chakras, and psychic healing.
Psychic Asteroids:
*Apollo - The god of Prophecy and oracle.
*Hekate - An oracle prophetess who spoke to
those on the other side, and relayed the messages (a medium). Indicator of mediumistic abilities.
* Psyche - means soul, had telepathic and
clairaudient abilities.
* Poseidon - Similar to Neptune, psychic
phenomena.
* Kassandra - The prophetess of doom. No one
believed her prophecies.

tea leaves etc.

Oh and also when looking at aspects, how close should they be?

I don't know much about the aspects but I am going with my instincts and from what I know generally, try and look for conjunctions or opposites -- they are more powerful. I am assuming aspects between Venus, Moon or Neptune, and asteroids are quite important, I ignored Mars on purpose because it is more of an energy indicator but not feelings per se.

...and as far as Adonis conjunct Casanova, I would say Knowledge is Power in that case! lol

I still think that a PSYCHE conjunct PSYCHE is a strong indication of soulmate! Although I never found anything on it yet!

This is a site I found on minor planets, asteroids. I hope you all find it useful.

I remember a discussion on this a while back, and what was it again? .... something about an Aspect between the woman's Eros to the man's Psyche? Or was it the woman's Psyche to the man's Eros?

Something about that type of crossover Aspect in Synastry involving specifically Eros & Psyche ...

A couple of comments.

Sappho (80) often is thought of indicating same-sex sexual relationships, but I've yet to see good evidence of that. I've noticed that Sappho cross aspects between female-female and female-male platonic friends often occur. So my inclination is that this asteriod indicates significant platonic friendship between a woman and another person more than anything sexual.

Look for exact aspects with Sappho.

Ex 1: My closest gal friend through most of high school had her Mercury exact conjunct my Sappho and her Sappho exact conjunct my Pluto. There was never anything sexual about our friendship, but we were very close.

Ex 2: My closest male friend in high had his Sappho exact trine my Neptune and my Sappho exact sextile his moon.

Ex 3: A young girl with who I have an unconventional yet completely non-sexual "big sister" relationship has her Leo Sun exact conjunct her Sappho. She's tomboyish, very atheletic, but she definitely likes boys. Her Sun-Sappho conjunction falls in my 11th house, and is exact semisextile my Sappho and exact sextile my Uranus.

Ex 4: The friend with who I've had the closest and longest friendship has her Sappho in my 11th and exact sextile my Venus. My Sappho exact conjuncts her MC, exact sextiles her moon and exact squares her Jupiter.

I don't know how Sappho may work in male-male platonic friendships - that's something I haven't gotten around to doing yet.

The other thing is AJ's comments about Psyche (16). Yes Psyche is being looked at more and more in regards to romantic relationships, but I'm finding that Psyche can facvtor in positively with any close relationship. Most interstingly, I've seen a lot of good Pysche cross aspects between parents and children who have good, loving relationships. Positive cross-aspects with Pysche seems to indicate "soul nuturing" between teh two people, regardless of the nature of their relationship.

Psyche has been a more recent interest of mine, so I don't have a lot of data. But one interesting contact I discovered was with the Sun-Sappho girl I mentioned above - her Venus is exact conjunct my Psyche and falls in my 9th. A lot of our interaction does revolve around me being a kind of spiritual and intellectual role model for her - we talks about "big" things a lot.

Also between this girl and her loving, doting father, they have his Psyche exact square her moon and exact quincinux her Sappho/Sun (according to Magi astrology, a configuration composed of a square, a trine and a quincunx is very powerful, although Magi astrrology doesn't use Sappho or Psyche to my knowledge). They do have a very close bond. Her Psyche exact squares his MC and falls in his 6th - his life literally revolves around her, and he's even changed careers so he could spend more time with her.
