Try them out...you never know...some might be prominent.Everything happens for a reason. I don't believe in mere coincidences
I believe that everything in the Universe is connected,and that's why I believe Astrology works including the use of asteroids in Astrology.
it's actually name asteroids that have strengthened my belief in Astrology because of the weird synchronicities with them..especially when it involves people that you know.
planets themselves can be vague,but asteroids tend to fine tune what the planetary aspects say.
You should see my ethnic asteroid chart....they are in appropriate places. I have Moon conjunct White with half a degree orb,and my mom is white and the woman that I love is white. The asteroid pertaining to the name of the woman that I love is conjunct that. I have Africa in 11'15 Aries and Africano in 12'38 Aries conjunct less than 2 degrees, and they sextile my Midheaven in 11'14 Gemini. That would reflect my being part African/Black...Their dispositor,Mars is conjunct my Black too. I have Blanco conjunct my North Lunar Node in 5th,trine my Midheaven and sextile my 4th house ruler Jupiter which could fit with not only romance,children,and family involving white people. I have no children yet.
the woman that I love has her Sun conjunct Raimonda and Carandrews. Her Sun is actually conjunct Raimonda/Carandrews midpoint within 1 degree. She also has Juno conjunct Raymundto within 2 degrees.
Asteroid name of my mother is conjunct my IC. the asteroid name of my father and Brown are conjunct my midheaven and square my Ascendant. I have lightbrown skin and do resemble my father.
also...asteroid names of my father and stepfather conjunct by only 10 minutes in my 4th house. My stepfather replaced my father as my father figure. He didn't meet my mother until a couple of years after I was born. the names even make an 8th harmonic aspect to my Sun. It was destiny that my father left and my stepfather replaced him as my father figure. He was the only person that I ever knew as my father.
the asteroid of my father's last name is conjunct my Sun with 3 minutes of arc. the asteroid,Ariadne(abandonment)conjunct that within minutes. it seemed like it was destiny that my father left me.
asteroid nodes work in the same way too. I have been researching them, and I posted about them in the forum. I posted my mom's chart in regards to karmic relationships with me,my father,and stepfather.
I have also seen the name asteroids work with the esoteric aspects, but the orbs should be no more than 1 degree
I have been looking at name asteroids since 2000.
