The Graces and Charites in Astrology - Charm, Grace, and Beauty Personified
Where we are beautiful, charming, charismatic, and graceful
627, 424, 47, 31, 23, 118
Charis 627, Gratia 424
Charis is the singular form of Charites in Greek mythology
Gratia is named after Gratiae or Graces in Roman mythology
Means "grace, beauty, life"
Was also another name for Cale (no asteroid) or Aglaea (below)
The Charites/Gratiae were goddesses of charm, beauty, nature, creativity, and fertility
Charis is also the root word for charisma
If prominent, you act and are seen as graceful, charismatic, charming, and beautiful; you are like a living, breathing charis/grace
Graces or Charites were usually grouped in threes. The 3 Elder Charites are Aglaea, Thalia, and Euphrosyne.
Aglaja 47
Named after Aglaea, the youngest Charis who is associated with beauty, splendor, glory, and adornment
She became the wife of Hephaestus after his divorce from Aphrodite
Can show beauty and grace; elegant, refined, sophisticated demeanor

Euphrosyne 31
Named after Euphrosyne, the Charis of good cheer and mirth
Means "merriment"

*There is an asteroid named Thalia, but it is named after Thalia, the Muse of comedy. However, here's still some information about Thalia, the Charis

There are many Younger Charites, but I only found one asteroid named after them:
