This prob sounds a little niche, but what aspects/asteroids would make someone cry a lot? Being emotional prob falls into the same category, but I'm moreso wondering the significance of tears and sadness, seeing as sometimes tears hold a lot of energy being released. Hope that makes sense!

Asteroids for the Rejected and Abandoned Lover

Please don't take this one literally and too seriously. These asteroids do NOT mean you or someone else will experience the same fate as the mythological figure.

A lot of these myths and stories end badly for the female character(s). But consider that there is a long history of writers and artists who created tragic female characters to highlight the tragic nature of their work or to explain a different phenomenon. This should not be a reflection of real life. I made this list just because I noticed a similar theme.

11, 171, 556, 209, 53, 43, 2212, 73

Parthenope 11

Named after Parthenope, a siren who drowns herself after failing to lure Odysseus

Her name means "maiden-voiced."

Hard time accepting rejection; overreacting to rejection

Ophelia 171

Named after Ophelia, the rejected lover of Hamlet from Shakespeare's Hamlet

Ophelia loses her mind when she finds that Hamlet did not love her; she drowns

Feeling a loss of innocence; what we thought was real is not real

Regret; a target for misogyny; retreating into the mind where everything is overblown

Phyllis 556

Named after Phyllis, the wife of Demophon, the King of Athens

When Demophon leaves Phyllis behind to help his father in Greece, Phyllis gives him a casket and tells him to open it when he gives up all hope of returning to her.

Some versions have Phyllis committing suicide when she realizes her husband will not come back; other versions have Demophon opening the casket and accidentally falling on his sword, killing him

Losing faith and giving up hope for a relationship; attachment issues

Dido 209

Named after Dido, the founder and first queen of Carthage (modern-day Tunisia)

In Virgil's Aeneid, Dido falls in love with Aeneas, a Trojan hero, but kills herself when he is ordered by Jupiter to leave.

Before she dies, she has a funeral pyre built to burn everything that reminds her of Aeneas and curses the Trojans, giving rise to the Punic Wars between Rome and Carthage.

Becoming vengeful when hurt; overreactions that cause disasters

Also clever, wise, a leader, passionate, volatile

Kalypso 53

Named after Calypso, a nymph who wanted Odysseus to be her husband in exchange for immortality, but he refused because he wanted to be with his wife Penelope

She forces Odysseus to sleep with her and stay with her on her isolated island for seven years

Zeus, with the help of Athena and Hermes, tells Calypso to set Odysseus free

Calypso is upset but helps Odysseus with whatever he needs to leave the island

Her name means "she who conceals"

Hanging onto others for our own benefit; making something/someone fit into our plans; trying to persuade others to change their mind

Falling for someone who is already attached to someone else; being jealous

Feeling that life is unfair; getting the short end of the stick

Ariadne 43

Named after Ariadne, the Cretan princess who helped Theseus find his way out of the labyrinth after killing the Minotaur

Ariadne betrays her father and country for her love for Theseus, who was a sacrifice for the Minotaur

There are many versions, but ultimately Theseus leaves her; Ariadne then marries Dionysus

A labyrinth-like love life; love taking twists and turns; unexpected endings

Betrayal in the name of love or personal desires

Helpfulness cannot be exchanged for love

Hephaistos 2212

Named after Hephaestus, the Greek god of metalworking, woodworking, artisans, fire, and volcanoes

Hephaestus's mother, Hera, throws him off Olympus when she discovers he has a birth defect

He creates a golden throne for Hera that she could not stand up from once she sat down; the gods try to persuade him to free her; only Dionysus is successful when he gets Hephaestus drunk

Hephaestus and Aphrodite marry, but Aphrodite is consistently unfaithful to him with Ares, the god of war

He creates a chain net that falls on Aphrodite and Ares when they are in bed together to parade them in front of the other gods

Hephaestus and Aphrodite eventually divorce

Exacting revenge, big or small, against those who wrong you

Being outcasted by others; black sheep of the family/group

Talented and indispensable but looked down on or underestimated

Klytia 73

Named after Clytie, a nymph who loved Helios, the sun god

But Aphrodite makes Helios leaves her for another woman, princess Leucothoe, as revenge for Clytie revealing her affair with Ares to Hephaestus

Clytie, upset by and jealous of Helios leaving her, tells Leucothoe's father about his daughter's affair with Helios

The father buries his daughter alive, and Helios never goes back to Clytie

Can show where we are excessively jealous and vengeful

Hi nox, how are you? Can you give some information and insight related to (73) KLYTIA if you have not yet spoken about this asteroid.

Thanks, have a nice day 💟

klytia, the water nymph who was in love with the sun (asteroid 73)

Clytie was the daughter of Oceanus and Tethys thus she was an Oceanid. In Metamorphoses by Ovid, Clytie was a lover of Helios, the sun god. Helios, however, turned his attention away from Clytie to Leucothea. Clytie was jealous and told Leucothea's father, Orchamus, about his daughter's impure relations with the sun god. In turn, Orchamus buried his daughter alive. Clytie believed that with Leucothea gone that Helios would return to her, but he only grew to hate her. Clytie was depressed and desperate for the attention of Helios, so she laid out on the rocks near her home along the shore. For nine days, she laid there naked without eating or drinking. On the ninth day, she transformed into a flower, the heliotrope (in some versions, she becomes a sunflower). IN MY OPINION Klytia in a chart can represent a) who you adore most, b) where you feel rejected by the person you love most, c) how you get revenge on the people you are jealous of, and/or d) romantic related depression.

i encourage you to look into the aspects of klytia along with the sign, degree, and house placement. for the more advanced astrologers, take a look at the persona chart of klytia!

Asteroid Klytia (73)

Klytia is named after the water nymph in Greek mythology who fell obsessively in love with the sun god, Helios. When he rejected her, she sat on the ground, refusing to eat or drink, simply staring at the sun until she was transformed into a heliotrope (sunflower/marigold), which always turns its head to follow the light.

Astrologically, Klytia represents:

Unrequited Devotion: The capacity for deep, unwavering love that is given without expectation of return.

The Struggle with Rejection: How one deals with being ignored, overlooked, or scorned by a desired object or person.

Fixation and Yearning: A profound, sometimes obsessive, fixation on a distant ideal, a past love, or something forever beyond reach.

Heliotropism: The need to turn toward the "light," a symbol of hope, faith, and a higher ideal, even in darkness.

The Shadow of Malice: The myth's shadow side—Klytia's jealousy led her to betray her rival, showing the potential for malice born out of intense pain and possessiveness.

Klytia in Pisces

Boundless and Spiritual Yearning: Your unrequited love or profound yearning (Klytia) is often spiritualized or idealized (Pisces). The object of your devotion may be someone unattainable, an artistic muse, a religious figure, or an abstract ideal (like saving the world). The love is unconditional, sacrificing, and often seeks a connection on a soul level.

~ I-......

The Martyrdom of Love: This placement has a high potential for martyrdom in relationships. You may unconsciously seek out situations or people who require your sacrifice, your pity, or your healing energy, believing that your deep suffering is proof of your devotion.

~ Please lord, protect me from myself lmaooo

Blurring of Boundaries: The intense focus of Klytia combines with Pisces's lack of boundaries, making it very difficult to distinguish where your love ends and the other person begins. You may struggle to separate yourself from a painful, unreciprocated connection, often dissolving into fantasy or escapism to deal with the pain of rejection.

~ Whenever that line starts leaning too far one way, it' s time for me to go

The Power of Imagination: If the love is unrequited in reality, the Pisces influence directs Klytia's energy into the realm of fantasy, art, poetry, or music. You may use creative expression (Neptune) to capture the perfect, idealized image of the love that cannot be realized in the physical world.

~ LITERALLY! I will go write a story about how the situation should have gone fr. That is too funny

Healing Through Faith: Your "heliotropism"—the turning toward the light—is a deep, intuitive faith in a divine or compassionate universe. Even when experiencing rejection or loss, you cling to the hope of transcendence and ultimate reunion, often finding solace in deep spiritual or religious practice.

~ Til death and beyond

#klytia is not only a water nymphe in the greek #myhtology #klytia is also a french beauty institut. I enjoyed a lot to work together on the concept and creation of this packshots images. @klytia_institut_de_beaute studied biological rhythms also called #chronobiology based on the 28 days female cycle. https://www.instagram.com/p/CUU6TxBNZC9/?utm_medium=tumblr
