Interestingly, Destinn has nothing to do with destiny and was named after a very talented opera singer.

It's a Czech surname and has NO connection to the English word of destiny.

The Czech word for fate/destiny appears to be osud.

There is no direct translation for it,

The fact is that particular asteroid was named after a hugely successful opera singer and THAT has a connection to the ultimate meaning.

It's far more likely that Destinn points to an extreme amount of talent in a creative field.

There are already enough asteroids that do directly link to fate and destiny without making others up to suit.

Do you have any chart examples of these themes for Destinn that you mention? Some more about what you've shared? Have you seen it reflected in the chart, upon someone changing their name?

Jovian. You KNOW how I LOVE to have fun on the sites? If we were to just shape up the borders to make things more true, then we all can have fun AND learn astrology.

Real astrology (versus superficial) can REALLY and ACTUALLY help guide our lives-- having accurate information can make our fun also a tool for REAL life.

For example, CRAYOLA Crayons (Brand)[Binney&Smith] changed labeling their colors of crayons.

My heart sunk when I saw them using the 'trendy' names for colors rather than sticking to the color-standards of numbering and labeling consistent with artist palette colors. The children may 'feel' they are being 'artists' (and they are), but I feel the children today have been educationally cheated.

When a child uses crayons labeled according to the actual associated artist-colors, the child's brain is more discriminating, and the ones gifted with artistic talent actually "see" the various pigments and blends on the palette of their imagination. They blend knowledge and instincts. They know how to paint Nature scenes as an adult in an art class; they'll know 'how' to see when they hold and perceive a 'blueberry.'

It's been a long time since I've played with crayons, but as I look at the colors THIS "PINK" website, I can ALMOST remember the actual artist-names of the shades of these various colors!

Her Sun is at 7 degrees Pisces so she had sun conjunct Destinn in her natal, I know it's 2 degrees but LOL it's too close not to let her have it.

I also like that her Urania/Uranus conjunction [which I have in libra] is conjunct my Leo sun by 1 degree... she mused for the muse.

Another really interesting fact I found is that she has asteroid Carmen [named after the opera] conjunct her Sun. The opera Carmen was actually based on a book by the same name ~ so again we have something that started out as one thing and ended up as something different. The book is much less well known than the opera and Destinn was also a writer but most well known for the opera!

She also had asteroid Fama [goddess of rumours] conjunct her Sun [just over one degree but less than 1/2 a degree from Carmen]....the asteroid Destinn was less than 1/2 a degree from Fama and less than 2 degrees all in all from her sun, so she had Carmen, Fama and Destinn all close to her sun.

My natal Destinn is at 12 Pisces... it has a 4.3 yr orbit [I think]...

@Jovian ~ There's a time for fun and a time to be serious. I had a whale of a time one night last year when I laughed myself into hysterics whilst looking through charts to see who had their Pecker conjunct my Fanny. I'd also been looking at who had Dudu next to their Uranus... I'm not averse to having fun with the asteroids at all and I've had an awful lot of enjoyment from them.

But I'm a professional and I have a self imposed duty of care to try to make sure that any information I present is as accurate as possible. No, I haven't been through my list of charts or through ADB to look for supporting info. I've got too much other stuff to do and even then, I'm sure I'd be able to find charts to support what I'm saying but it wouldn't be an objective study.

Part of my job, is to play as a muse. I have Uranus conjunct Urania in the 11th. I'm a muse for all things Uranian. We name a planet or body and it embodies "that which it was named after". We then project and transfer our human stuff onto it and hopefully somewhere along the line we grow or learn. They are mirrors/signposts rather than destinations. Asteroids are NOT taken seriously by the majority top astrologers and whilst they do use SOME intuition, they always have a framework of the basics. There has to be a foundation to build on. Demetra George is probably one of the most well known astrologer using the 'roids along with Zane Stein who likes the centaurs.

I've noticed Moon/Uranus showing up a lot with name changes ~ or the sign of Aquarius.

@ Mirage ~ Thanks for keeping your mind open enough to at least think about it. And thanks for seeing that I'm just trying to "put bumper pads in". For me; it's about accuracy and the more accurate the meaning means it's more likely to be accurate for someone looking at their own birth chart. If it's not close enough to the mark ~ it won't resonate and if it happens enough times then "astrology" gets dismissed as useless.... and I think [obviously ] that astrology can hold an enormous amount of symbolic meaning.
