It could also be used in regards to the eyes. Iris is a part of the eye too.

according to ASTROLOGY ENCYCLOPEDIA which has a lot of information on asteroids and their meanings,

In an astrological chart, Moira's location by sign and house indicates an area of life that is governed by "fate" or karma. When afflicted by inharmonious aspects, Moira may show "negative karma" When prominent in a chart, it shows an individual whose whole life is "fated."

I have Venus in Scorpio in 3rd square Moira in Aquarius in 6th with 17 minutes of arc, and yeah....I believe that I have negative karma involving love,relationships.

how have you been IQ?

Moira is exactly on my Siva on 15° Scorpio, trines Juno on 17° Pisces and Saturn on 17° Cancer. lol

Peri,

those asteroids on the IC seem to be pretty important, very close to your soul`s core.
Or did you experience fated situations relating to family, home or emotional development?

the term,asteroid is reserved for bodies that are more inner.

planets that orbit beyond Neptune are called kuiper belt objects.

kuiper belt objects are icy objects unlike asteroids which are rocky

but yeah...Orcus is similar to Pluto.

I have Sun triseptile Orcus with 1 minute of arc and Sun contraparallel Orcus with 1 minute of arc. It also trines my Venus with 40 minutes of arc.

I do have Sun conjunct Ixion with 5 minutes of arc, and so I have a cazimi with a kuiper belt plutino.

but yeah...kuiper belt objects are no joke

here is some info on them http://www.philipsedgwick.com/

here is some stuff on Orcus too

Asteroid 90482, Orcus, a trans-Neptunian object, was discovered on February 17, 2004 by Chad Trujillo, Michael Brown and David Rabinowitz at Palomar Observatory near Pauma Valley, California. 2004 DW has a period of 248 years, 4 days.

Orcus was named for the Roman god of death, whom the Greeks called Thanatos and who is sometimes identified with Pluto.

Astrologically, Orcus seems to indicate the following: popularity, populism, private effort, the grass roots (according to Jonathan Dunn); bringing death (according to Chryss Alexander); also, audacity, boldness, "seizing the day," questioning or challenging, dissent, predatory, ravaging, corruption, a fallen state, heavy or strong retaliation, having something to say, giving up or giving in.

I'm interested in what makes some people curious about metaphysics, while others have no interest. Now I'm wondering if people interested in spirituality have, overall, more "fated" aspects in their natal chart than those who are skeptical about a spiritual component to life. A chart with a strong "fate" signature may make someone feel more linked with spirit, and more inclined to see life events as the material expression of spirit. If I were to do an astrology research project it would be that, a comparison of the charts of spiritual and materialist people. I would expect the spiritual people to have more narrow aspects with the nodes, vertex, fate-related asteroids, and Neptune. Meh, I'll just skip the research and assume my hypothesis is correct.

Conjunct at the same degree, I have:

Sun
Cupid
Moira

The Sabian for that degree is "an Easter sunrise." Rudhyar considered "Rebirth" its keyword.

My anti-vertex and DNA are conjunct those as well, but not at the same degree.

I suppose a "nice to see you" would've sufficed?

My Iris is on the same degree as Part of Fortune.

Ignoring Isis for the time being, I'd see your PoF on that Sabian as showing that you carry within you valuable gifts (signified by the oil) and that with work (the workmen drilling), you can tap into much internal wealth.

The oil isn't an easy discovery, but something you seek and work to obtain.

I'd see this Sabian as showing that you'll have the best luck and fulfill your destiny when you focus on something's process (the work). As long as you love what you're doing, you will be rewarded.

So what about Isis on top of that? With Isis representing messenger, then perhaps your fortune is in sharing what you've uncovered during your process of self-discovery and self-value? Er, does that make any sense? I'll try to come back here and make more sense after ingesting some caffeine.
