I wanted to add one i found that seems important, if thats cool....

"208-Lacrimosa"

Lacrimosa was discovered on October 21, 1879 by Austrian astronomer Johann Palisa at Vienna.
The name means "weepy" in Latin;
Palisa probably named it this because he lost this asteroid and had such a hard time finding it again it practically "made him cry." (My source says "lamentable and sorrowful difficulties.")
Astrologically, this is basically what Lacrimosa indicates: tears, sorrow, mourning, sadness, tragedy, suffering, ordeals, wailing, regret, empathy, bleeding hearts, precarious emotional control.

Lacrimosa- The name derives from Our Lady of Sorrows, a title given to Mary, the mother of Jesus.
The name "Lacrimosa" comes from the word "lacrimoso", meaning tearful.
-The music of the 'Lacrimosa' were the last notes Mozart ever set to paper in 1791, a few weeks before his death, in a Requiem which was never finished.

Lacrimosa is a main-belt asteroid. It is classified as an S-type asteroid. It is also one of the largest members of the Koronis asteroid family and probably a piece of the original asteroid which was shattered in an ancient impact that created the family. It was discovered by Johann Palisa on October 21, 1879, in Pola, Croatia.

"Lacrimosa" is a teardroped shaped wild flower that grows into depths of the Atlantic Ocean.

Tears are commonly considered as the one holding the hand of our sad emotions. What we see is that tears are the outcome of the ultimate happiness and relief (tears of joy).

-Physically, the 'lacrimal gland' secretes tears, and has excretory ducts, which bring the fluid to the surface of the eye where they are seen formed as a fluid, commonly know as tears, created from extreme emotions or physical changes in our environment.

"3926 Ramirez"-
Asteroid Ramirez's astrological signification — victimization, "entering" the space or home of another for a legitimate reason or invading it without legitimacy

To add to your little witch....

248 Lameia-Female Vampire
Lamia (Greek: Λάμια was a beautiful queen of Libya who became a child-eating daemon. Aristophanes claimed her name derived from the Greek word for gullet (λαιμός; laimos), referring to her habit of devouring children.[1]
In the myth, Lamia is a mistress of the god Zeus, causing Zeus' jealous wife, Hera, to kill all of Lamia's children (except for Scylla, who is herself cursed) and transform her into a monster that hunts and devours the children of others. Another version has Hera merely stealing away all of Lamia's children and it being Lamia herself, losing her mind from grief and despair, who starts stealing and devouring others' children out of envy, the repeated monstrosity of which transforms her into a monster on its own.
Some accounts say she has a serpent's tail below the waist.[2] This popular description of her is largely due to Lamia, a poem by John Keats composed in 1819.[3] Antoninus Liberalis uses Lamia as an alternate name for the serpentine drakaina Sybaris; however, Diodorus Siculus describes her as having nothing more than a distorted face.[4]
Later traditions referred to many lamiae; these were folkloric monsters similar to vampires and succubi that seduced young men and then fed on their blood.[5]
In later stories, Lamia was cursed with the inability to close her eyes so that she would always obsess over the image of her dead children. Some accounts (see Horace, below) say Hera forced Lamia to devour her own children. Myths variously describe Lamia's monstrous (occasionally serpentine) appearance as a result of either Hera's wrath, the pain of grief, the madness that drove her to murder, or—in some rare versions—a natural result of being Hecate's daughter.[6]
Zeus then gave her the ability to remove her eyes. The purpose of this ability is unclear in Diodorus, but other versions state Lamia's ability to remove her eyes came with the gift of prophecy. Zeus did this to appease Lamia in her grief over the loss of her children and to let her rest since she could not close her eyes.[7]
