The less mentioned Asteroids
Here’s a list I’ve gathered of the various asteroids in astrology to sum up the basic meaning of it. Sadly there aren’t many resources to describe the nature of a sign in all the asteroids so you kind of have to sum up the nature of the sign along with the asteroid together. If you need help, I can try to decipher it with you.These are just few of the MANY asteroids discovered, in parenthesis are the asteroids number that you can type in on Astro.com and see where yours are placed. Please note, I left out well-known asteroids such as Pallas, Ceres, Juno, and Lilith as I feel like you can find that anywhere and I wanted to give some spotlight on hidden gems or Denser ones to say the least. Oh and if asteroids are in your first and especially conjunct your ascendant, it can definitely play a role of how you outwardly express your rising sign. Perhaps even the aura you give.
Eros (433)- I have a post dedicated to it here
Psyche (16)- The other half of Eros, as it’s usually used to look at the compatibly between the two (which you can find here and here). Like Eros for Mars, Psyche is an higher octave of Venus; it’s seen as the Goddess of the Soul. It represents love, passion, jealousy, and our inner self. Venus is only what attracts us and how we’re attracted to others, but Psyche only swims deeper to where it touches your soul. I really wanted to dedicate a whole post to Psyche in the signs but I noticed, it’s basically like venus in the signs. (Ex: If someone has a Aries Psyche, they can relate to the description of an Aries Venus on a more soulful level). This is what your soul truly wants, what it wants to feel complete.
Amor (1221)- Represents compassion, empathy and loving kindness. It’s what we truly love and hold close to our heart; it’s more sensual than Venus and as idealistic and sweet as Neptune. It’s not sexual but where we love unconditionally, so it can say a lot from the house it is in, along with the sign. After digging in deeper, having Amor in your first, ESPECIALLY conjunct your ascendant means you’ll have a lovable exterior and be sexually attractive as well.
Vesta (4)- This asteroid is your friend, in fact the fairy god mother that leaves you with a blessing. She is what keeps the flame in our spirit; it represents how we focus on our energy and complete ourselves. It’s where it helps achieve goals and aspirations. It is where you are your own healer. “Astrologically Vesta relates to work, devotion, spiritual practices, solitude, commitment, sacrifice, aloneness, a range of sexual problems based upon fear of intimacy. AND she shows you your way out of these things as you identify who you really are, become devoted and committed to becoming all you are and more and work for a goal which will not only bring light to yourself but to others.”
Valentine (447)- A pure asteroid, meaning its focus isn’t sexual but a fixation of love, pure love. It’s very sacrificial, almost like a venus in twelfth or a Pisces venus. It’s a deep love, that showers others with affection.
Sappho (80)- This almost acts like eros, but has a poetic touch to it. Almost like the fire sign, Sagittarius. It has the passion but has an artistic side which is the interesting part of it. It shows deep appreciation of self and others. It shows where and perhaps who we want to deeply bond with, emotional attachment of love, it can even show aspects and relationships in same-sex relationships, sensuality, and basically it has a taste of Taurus with wanting to value the aesthetics.
Aphrodite (1388)- It can be connected to impulsive love and attraction, sexual appeal, and charisma. In fact, Aphrodite and Venus are pretty much the same and tied together, Aphrodite is just the little taste of it and not as big as Venus. In a way it gives a drop of “aphrodisiac,” it’s how you enchant people or become enchanted. So imagine your Natal Venus and Aphrodite conjunct by degree, you basically charm and flirt so dangerously and alluringly like Aphrodite itself. Though you don’t see it, the power of Venus surges.
Anteros (1943)- The brother of Eros, except how Eros initiates Eroticism or love, Anteros shows how you respond to it when given to you. This can be shown from the sign and house.
Adonis (2101)- I feel like this can show where you’re sexually magnetic, and it shows where and how you desire to please and fulfill who you love. It’s also seen as what you find beautiful in a man. For ex if yours is in your 5th house, then I’d imagine you being really magnetic when dating but let’s say it’s in Taurus. You may desire guys/girls who come off sensual, protective, aesthetically pleasing, dressed, and give a earthy vibe; put together so to say.
Pan (4450)- “Pan brings something very earthy, very natural to any planet or point he touches. He’s no “Victorian” when it comes to sensations and sensual pleasure. Pan brings a link with the instinctual nature and couples it with a kind of wily pleasure. On the Ascendant, Pan gives the body robust strength, added libido and sharp instinct. He is raw and vital and knows nature’s ways. He is a seducer of the innocent, and the knowledgeable as well. He is one hell of a romp, metaphorical or otherwise. He is natural and fertile—a nature spirit, instinctual, rustic, sexual, potent. He is not shy. He is not a child. Pan loves music and dance, reverie, sex and celebration. When conjunct a personal planet, these traits and talents may come to the foreground…”
Child (4580)- To especially the earth suns, earth dominants, or tensed up individuals from Saturn, this my friend is the asteroid that shows your inner child. It of course works with the sign and house it is in but I love it because everyone has an inner child. It shows where and what makes you loosen up and live, is that the glimpse of your youthful aura I see?
Cupido (763)- Oh this sneaky little asteroid is interesting, in a way this asteroid is perceived as how you go about to obtain the object of your love. Basically how you flirt and pull someone in, or even something. It can be a little part of how you seduce and well… how you shoot them with the “arrow.” This almost acts like infatuation, so it may not last long when it comes to synastry.
Angel (11911)- You don’t necessarily have to regard this one if you’re not into spiritual things but it appealed to me as this asteroid is in my 8th house and curiosity always kills, so here goes. From research I’ve gotten it’s the “opportunity to receive divine guidance and where you may feel watched over and protected” In my words. perhaps, it’s where you don’t feel fear as much.
Yarilo (2273)- “attractiveness; sex appeal; natural; to bring joy or light to; sensitive, effete, vitiated or otherwise decadent” I feel like with the terms used, it does bring attraction but it’s also perhaps playful and emotionally connected. That’s how I interpret it but this is a pretty new asteroid and this is all I could find on it/
Persephone (399)- If you can tell, a lot of asteroids are connected to mythology and if you know my blog then you know I love tying astrology and mythology together. Where she shows up in our natal chart can be a place we look at to see and discover ourselves, where we feel taken captive, and where we feel we have not been allowed to be ourselves. Whichever house it is in shows where we feel restricted, where we are afraid to take charge and give our power away. It’s where we become dependent, “in essence it is where we hoodwink ourselves and allow ourselves to be taken underground.”
