First of all, I'd just like to say that this is not meant as a personal attack against anyone, and I'm not trying to demean anyone or their beliefs. I just want to ask a relatively simple question, and see why people feel the way that they do.Anyway, I'm just curious...what's with people relying on asteroids so much? Holding them to such high importance, always bringing them up, etc? They aren't nearly as studied as the planets or the ascendant is. So why do people so readily put so much faith into them? I'm just curious, really. Maybe this is just my Aquarius Mercury acting up again, haha. IP: Logged |

I agree that they are an important part of the big picture. Beyond the significance they hold, I see them as symbolic. I believe asteroids will just "fit" into the charts of ppl who you are meant to connect with. IP: Logged |

Asteroids explain the subtle details using their specific themes.There is no way to look at the planets and assess any chance whether someone had a pasty lifeline in Egypt or Sumeria or India or Germany. With Asteroids, we can assess such possibilities with enhanced accuracy. And we can go further. If someone had a Russian lifeline where they were affected by the murder of the Romanovs, their chart could have Asteroid aspects like this: RUSSIA conjunct Regulus square OSIRIS. A Holocaust victim could have JERUSALEM conjunct KAALI in 12th square GERMANY or THULE exact. And so on. This richness of interpretation is possible only with Asteroids.

Why do people put so much faith in astrology? Asteroids are just more of the same. And I don't really see anyone putting so much faith in them anyway, because we don't know that much about them yet. At this point it's mostly experimentation with how they seem to be manifesting in your chart and those of others you've studied. IP: Logged |

The interpretation of asteroids is still in its youth, hence why there are a large number of naysayers. This is exactly the same as when Pluto was first discovered. Back when Neptune was discovered, and Uranus. It is a wide open frontier, undiscovered and ripe for research. There is no reason to say the asteroids, dwarf planets, moons, and comets have no significant influence.Remember, too - there are a few asteroids [Ceres is now a dwarf planet, and Chiron is technically a proto-comet] that have been around long enough to have the research put into them, and their influences have been corroberated. When we come across something like 433 Eros, it has been used and used and checked and cross-checked so often that we can say with a measure of confidence what it means, particularly in synastry and composite charts. I think people are just daunted by the massive number of asteroids and minor planets out there. IP: Logged |

This is a great answer! The last paragraph describes exactly how I feel. IP: Logged |

To me, one must work and work with charts and discuss the asteroids with people, as one does the charts. In a way, the world of asteroids is like exploring a whole, new land. We, students of astrology, are the intrepid explorers However, there is no substitute for doing as many charts as you can.

Just because we're able to know many things thanks to asteroids ! To get many informations ! the 10 major planets are basic but not sufficient... Once you start believing in asteroids, you get very passionate of them / interested. IP: Logged |

I don't get this trend of interpreting asteroids based on their names. Asteroid Beauty conjunct Sun makes a person Beautiful? come on now, if that's the case, Uranus conjunct Sun should have made a person look like you know what.IP: Logged |

Well actually it's true. Have you ever met a Uranus conjunct Sun person? Uranus doesn't mean ugly, Uranus means crazy and eccentric. I don't know about you but all the Uranus conjunct Sun people I've met indeed are mentally unstable and crazy as f*ck. IP: Logged |

For me i've always felt asteroids are a part of the same intrinsic network within the astrological system, i see them as the subtler energies that playout within us, with the "fixed' stars too , little dot to dots that join to make a fuller pictureIP: Logged |

Why do people put so much faith into asteroids?that kind of question can lead to some severe answers, like they're idiots especially if the asteroids r myths. the big ones(ceres,vesta,pallas) r serious rocks that mean something....

yes that's also where i get confused with asteroids. I like to use asteroids but when they start interpreting asteroids like "book" or "piano" and saying that if you have that conjunct something you're probably a good reader or good at piano lol it's too much (idk if those are real asteroids, I'm just saying in example). When it comes to asteroids, it makes more sense to use the historical and/or mythological context behind them to interpret their meaning in a person's chart. If there is no such thing available for an asteroid, I try to ignore that asteroid altogether. IP: Logged |

Here is an example how I use them. Take Psyche (#16) for example:Psyche is a tad more than 3 degrees away from my ASC in the 1st. I don't have much other than that with standard planets so it doesn't tell me much. But, if I do a synastry chart with the discovery of Psyche, Psyche's Psyche (the discovery location) is on my North Node. There is much more, but that is a simple example. Once I saw how certain asteroids were resonating with my natal, I learned more about myself that I didn't consider before. IP: Logged |

They are just fun to explore IMO. I feel also they give more depth to readings specially in the context of synastry and composite readings. They also can help fill in the gaps but are they truly necessary? Probably not, with the planets, angles, nodes, luminaries and transits that is more than enough.I do love Psyche.

Nice Grand Water Trine inside Psyche. Venus is at 5'56" degrees Taurus plus a bunch of others in the vicinity. So a person that gets Psyche invoked, gets the Grand Water Trine and a responsible passionate surprise lover with a nested wire to Eros as a bonus. LOL IP: Logged |

I love that eros conjunct chiron there, healing through the act of erotic love.Venus conjunct uranus is love at first sight that starts abruptly and leads to falling deeply in love (venus conjunct pluto) and that passes the test of time and sticks around for the long haul (venus conjunct saturn). That venus stellium is an unbreakable bond and has all the markings of the love story of a century. I love psyche. IP: Logged |

because, personally, I noticed the veracity of their influence, I can relate to the description of the place of the asteroids I'm interested in. and I can relate other people too in their asteroids. I noticed they really work. so I have faith in them, I know they work, then now I like to find new asteroids frequently...IP: Logged |
