I wanted to discuss about Water Symbolism which is often connected to Neptune and Pisces. I wanted to discuss finetuning indicators for water symbolism with certain asteroids.
I was born in San Francisco,a city on the Bay. So I was born near water.
I learned to swim when I was 3 years old. I was afraid of the water, and my stepfather threw me in the pool. I immediately swam to one of my stepsisters. It was a stepsister that taught me how to swim. I learned how to swim in a week. My mom even told somebody that I was an excellent swimmer since I was 3 years old. We lived in apts with a swimming pool when I was 3 to 13 years old. Therefore, I went swimming every late spring/summer until I was 13 years old. I was once told that I swam like a fish when I beat 2 guys in a swim race. They swam on top,and I chose to swim under water. I always preferred swimming underwater at the bottom of a pool since I was a little kid. I never joined any swim team because because I didn't want to shave my legs which became hairy at an early age. I have flat,wide feet(supposed to wear 10 EE shoes) too,and I used them like flippers when I swam underwater.
a best friend pf mine that I knew from kindergarten drowned in a pond
When I was a kid, I was fascinated with mermaids too. I loved reading fairy tales about them. I liked watching "Man from Atlantis" starring Patrick Duffy who happens to have Sun in Pisces and who was an expert in scubadiving before the show started. I was fascinated about things like the Bermuda Triangle. I liked watching "Aquaman" and "Submariner" cartoons.
I was in the Navy for 7 years. I lived on a couple of ships stationed in Alameda,California and San Diego,California. I was also stationed on an island in the Indian Ocean.
I would say that water symbolism fits me
I do have a strong Neptune influence
Moon in Pisces square Neptune
Mercury parallel Neptune
Venus parallel Neptune
Mars square Neptune
Jupiter conjunct Neptune
Saturn oppose/contraparallel Neptune
Uranus semisquare Neptune
Pluto sextile Neptune
however, those aspects don't necessarily mean that I am connected to water and the sea. Neptune has other meanings too like imagination,confusion,deception,illusion,mysticism,psychism,dissolution,inspiration
I believe asteroids fine tune things with specific meanings.
I chose the following asteroids
4341 Poseidon - named after the Greek seagod,supreme god of the seas
29 Amphitrite - named after the seagoddess,supreme goddess of the seas,wife of Poseidon
4660 Nereus - named after the seagod, Poseidon's predecessor, father of the 50 Nereids that include Amphitrite,Thetis
17 Thetis - named after the seagoddess,mother of Achilles
48 Doris - named after the seagoddess,wife of Nereus,mother of the Nereids
224 Oceano - the ocean, ...Oceanus was a titan of the the waters
1870 Glaukos - named after Greek fisherman turned minor seagod. Also known as Glaucus. I chose that nickname to reflect my strong Neptunian nature. I didn't know the asteroid until after I chose Glaucus as my irc nickname in 2000.
1198 Atlantis - named after the legendary island that sank. Atlantis is also underwater civilization in comics like "Aquaman","Submariner
Sedna - a dwarf planet in the kuiper belt, hypothesized to be an oort cloud object named after the Inuit seagoddess who lives in the depths of the frigid Arctic Ocean. ....it seems to be similar to Neptune in its meaning,but more otherwordly as in "out of this world",remote..especially when it's the most distant object from the Sun in our system when it is at its most distant point(aka aphelion)
Varuna - a big kuiper belt object named after the East Indian God of the sky,of rain,and of the celestial ocean, as well as god of law and of the underworld. He was once chief of the Gods. In later Hinduism,he continued his dominion over all forms of the water element,particularly the oceans....this object seems more about justice,judgment

Any people with strong water symbolism please share any possible aspects that you have with the minor bodies that fine tuned any strong Neptune influences that you have.
