So, I'll start with mythology since that's easiest...

Norse Mythology:
(I've willfully left out some Non-Nordic Germanic ones, like Wodan and Donar. Nerthus is a bit of a borderline case, since it's uncertain if she is identical to scandinavian Njord or possibly his forgotten sister-wife.)

Mostly focusing on tight conjunctions for now, but also other major aspects if very very tight. Maybe some midpoint conjunctions too.

- Aslög 25°41' Cancer, conjunct True Lilith at 26°18
- Embla 11°26' Cancer, conjunct MC at 10°36'
- Erda 6°27' Cancer, conjunct Mercury at 6°52' (Chiron/BML midpoint at 6°29')
- Frigg 16°22' Scorpio, conjunct Pallas at 15°42' (Uranus/Ascendant midpoint at 15°59)
- Heimdal 14°17' Pisces, conjunct Venus/Neptune midpoint at 14°33' (square Sun at 13°22 Gemini)
- Hertha 10°14' Leo, conjuct Sun/Asc midpoint at 10°04' and Moon/MC midpoint at 10°29'
- Loke 5°01' Aries, conjunct Descendant at 6°46'
- Nanna 11°06' Virgo, conjunct Moon at 10°23'
- Nerthus 10°20' Leo, conjunct Sun/Asc and Moon/MC midpoints, see Hertha above
- Tyr 25°16' Gemini, opposite Uranus at 25°13' Sagittarius
- Walküre 20°14' Cancer, conjunct Black Moon Lilith at 21°37'

- Akka 15°07' Libra, conjunct Antivertex at 15°59'
- Louhi 20°04' Taurus, conjunct Venus at 21°52'
- Pohjola 7°16' Leo, inconjunct Neptune at 7°15' Capricorn
- Tapio 6°37 Gemini, conjunct Venus/Chiron midpoint at 6°36'
- Ukko 16°01' Gemini, conjunct Venus/MC midpoint at 16°13', sextile Vertex at 15°59 Aries
- Vellamo 6°47' Cancer, conjunct Mercury at 6°52'

Other interesting stuff:
- Balder, Höder and Freia conjunct across Aries Point (Pis/Ari)
- Thora and Kalevala conjunct DNA, Vala and Hyperborea trine DNA from Capricorn, Louhi trine DNA from Taurus, Walhalla square DNA from Gemini, Walküre sextile DNA from Cancer.
- First two degrees of Virgo are very busy: Dionysus, Haltia, MakeMake, Nessus, Amun, Iduna, Reiki and Väinö... Not sure what to make of it, but it looks kind of powerful.
- Pisces 14-15 has another interesting cluster around my Venus/Neptune midpoint: Venusia, Heimdal, Ilmatar, Heyerdahl, Autonoma, Njord and Magni.
- Sampo conjunct Urania, Skepticus and Logos

Thanks MoonMystic! I added your finds to the list too!
I only got through the mythological asteroids yesterday, so I need to keep looking into my chart. Thus far I find it most significant that Nerthus conjuncts Hertha on Moon/MC and Sun/Asc midpoints. That's a big Nerthus presence! And Erda/Jord on my Mercury. Earth goddesses seem to be making a splash. And sea goddess Vellamo also on my Mercury! The 14-15 Pisces cluster is also rather marine-themed, as well as venusian... it really fits with the Venus/Neptune midpoint.

Nadja ♡
You're welcome. I might have more in my collection, I'll take a look today.
Have you any Odin/Wodan aspects? Be interesting if you have cht comparison aspects with these too. I really like
this study. You delved pretty deep.

posted August 30, 2019 01:18 PM            

I'll have to have a look at the declinations for the rest of them too...

- Njord and Höder closely parallel each other and Ascendant
- Nerthus parallel Mjölnir, both contraparallel DNA, Vanadis parallel DNA
- Nanna, Thora and Jormugandr all parallel each other and North Node
- Tyr and Walküre parallel each other and Sun
- Vala contraparallel Odin and Mercury
- Haltia and Tapio parallel Venus and Lempo contraparallel all three
- Kalevala parallel Pluto
- Mielikki and Ilmatar also parallel DNA, but further away than I would like with asteroids
- Sampo parallel Sun and contraparallel Saturn and Uranus
- Tellervo very closely contraparellel Saturn

Do you think that an asteroid being stationary has any significance? I noticed that a few of the Finnish mythology ones are stationary in my chart. Akka, Lempo and Mielikki.

Some are a bit iffy when you know the languages. Some of the ones with a Swedish interpretation don't really work without the diacritic marks I don't think, the pronunciation just becomes too different. An 'a' sounds completely different to an 'å' and same with ä and ö. So as a native speaker I would hesitate to consider these: Oka (Öka = 'to increase'), Lada (Låda = 'box' or 'drawer') and Angers (Ånger = 'regret', this word also has no plural in Swedish so no -s would ever be added at the end). Not sure where you got the meaning 'truth' for Varda, but Vårda would mean 'take care of' in Swedish.

Adding these to the list:
