Askalaphus {4946}

Most astrologers who use the asteroids associate it more with the Askalaphus who was in charge of the orchards down in the underworld. He was responsible for telling Hades that Persephone had sneaked some pomegranate seeds which resulted in her having to spend part of every year down in hell. This infuriated her mother Demeter so much that she trapped Askalaphus under a rock but he was released by Hercules and when she caught sight of him again she turned him into a screech owl.

If we use this to find meaning in our own natal Askalaphus we can find a point in the chart where we have issues with either keeping quiet about something or possibly the opposite in holding back on important information.

Thank you Quinn
I may have that conj the ASC.Have to check .If so, that would be my life.
I had to do "hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil"
I had to squelch my voice for fear,deep fear of what my mother would do to me if I had an identity
That is why my voice is so precious now.

Yeah I thought it was a bit of an interesting one. I'd noticed it a few times...some of them just seem to catch your eye and you don't know why.

it's more about disclosing key bits of info I'd say and on your MC may be more relevant to your career. Does it make any aspects to anything else? Any chance you could be a potential whistleblower?

There are trines to chiron,venus and mercury, squares to jupiter and mars, semisquares to uranus and neptune, sesquiquadrate to sun

Whistleblower sounds quite scary to me but some kind of detective could be nice
