Asteroid Tantalus comes from the word tantalize. As you might imagine, Tantalus is where we want something badly but it is out of our reach and seems to remain so. The word does not suggest resolution so I would say that one would not find resolution to what which one desires . The word connotes that one will be close enough to see and touch the desire of one’s affections but not to CLAIM it. I saw this situation with a man who had Tantalus conjunct Venus. He wanted a soul mate but threw everyone away until all he had left was one night stands.

I would think you may feel you can never grasp what you really want, that it is out of reach. Do you feel that MF?

Do you feel that what your ego/identity and your mind wants--feels out of reach? Reiki--hmmm-what is this?

Kundalini is our basic life energy. Any ideas what Reiki is?

You may feel like what you WANT in life is always a little out of reach and never able to be grasped.

A note about this, as Falconer has a typo.

It has been posted many times but for those that are new to it 2102 is Minor Planet Tantalus. 2101 is Adonis.

Tantalus works in much the same way, albeit it resonates to this -> "The name "Tantalus" is the origin of the English word "tantalize". The idea being that when a person tantalizes someone else, that person is making them like Tantalus: there is something desirable that is always just out of that person's reach.

A Tantalus, by an obvious analogy, is also the term for a type of drinks decanter stand in which the bottle stoppers are firmly clamped down by a locked metal bar, as a means of preventing servants from stealing the master's liquor. The decanters themselves, however, remain clearly visible.

The chemical element tantalum (symbol Ta, atomic number 73) is named for the mythological Tantalus.

There are two figures named Tantalus in Myth. The most famous Tantalus (Greek Τάνταλος) was a son of Zeus and the nymph Plouto. Thus he was a king in the primordial world.

I use it with the tantalize connotation.

I'm curious what it means in synastry too. Who tantalizes who? Specifically Venus conj Tantalus in synastry. Node put up some good info on it in the quote & link posted, but I'm not quite sure I get it.

No, not really.
But I never tire of learning more about myself, so getting to know myself never stops, just like Tantalus never stopped reaching for the food/water.
There is probably some tantalizing quality to it, cause I am very aware that one never gets to know anything (even oneself) completely, 100%.
It reminds me of the saying: "Ideals are like stars. You can never touch/reach them, but can direct your life towards them and thus get much closer than you would have otherwise".

Reiki is healing through touch.

I don't really do progressed but Tantulus is tantalize. It is wanting something badly that is out of reach.
