I'm having a hard time understanding how people use asteroids in astrology, most people I see who use them for synastry come off as people who are desperately grasping at straws to try and find indicators of some sort of soul connection which imo should be something you should determine outside of astrology first, with astrological placements only being confirmation of your own intuition.I'm hoping someone can help me understand more, i'm wondering where people get these interpretations for certain asteroids from. A lot of them are vague and its as if people just mash up an interpretation from the name of the asteroid alone, like having the atlantis asteroid conjunct moon means that you were from atlantis in a past life or something.
Where do these interpretations come from? I know a lot of people cite this person on the board named IQ whenever asteroids are brought up, what im wondering is if he has done any personal research into the statistics of certain asteroids and asteroid combinations in synastry to make the conclusions he has made and where I could see these or learn more since there are not a lot of references out there to learn from.
There also seems to be way more asteroids used in synastry that are never even talked about in the context of the natal chart which makes me wonder if its just people being desperate, i'm always trying to look for some resource on this or some natal interpretations but I don't find many.
What's your opinion? Are there any asteroids that have shown up in natal or synastry for you personally that have been extremely relevant?
