Introduction to NameAsteroids
They are tiny little space rocks floating all over the place in the Asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Named by the person who discovered them or named after people, places, plants, concepts or deities, and mythical lovers. These names are then judged & approved by the IAU. Although the asteroids are young, their significance is reflected within our own birthchart, event chart, and other types of charts.
Nameasteroid provide additional information to what’s found in the natal chart and portray the story attached to a person within our life with great detail to how we see and experience someone individually. You can search the names of loved ones, family, friends, enemies,… in the Asteroid databank on astro.com
When we are born, the names of our loved ones are already within us. It’s a matter of time to come across these people and activate their name in our chart. This is where the journey begins. Therefore it’s utterly pointless to be looking at names of people you haven’t met yet, consciously.
Nameasteroids carry more weight and importance than expected, for which I conducted research to comprehend their psychological dimension. As of now, I’m the only astrologer with expertise in the domain of named asteroids and their broad purpose due to my extensive observation, research and experience with them.
The house placement and the aspects that are made to the name can clear up some things around that person. Conjunction are the strongest. The closer the ‘better’. When a name asteroid touches one of your planets, points or asteroids, the energy is activated. Aspects other than conjunctions also activate, but a weak influence since asteroids are still very young.
As far as I know, I’m the only Astrologer devoting time and research to the NameAsteroids. Up until now, it has been used for fun and superficial purposes, however, I have a completely different opinion and experience with these Asteroids. They provide a revolutionary way of chart analysis and even relationship interpretation from a personal point of view. Watch the video above for more information..
On my YouTube channel, you’ll find some videos where I use and interpret the NameAsteroids.
The basics of the NameAsteroids
House | Area of influence & impact, themes, awareness/challenge, lessons, similarity, inspiration, influence, “where” “what” Often related to the main theme of the connection |
Sign | Traits, personality, character, behavior, stereotype, expression, “how” “attitude” – The behavioral issue Often related to how the native approaches the N.A |
Aspect | Feelings, attitude, highlights due to the person, involvement, affect, effect, struggles, ease, dynamic Often related to that what the N.A brings to you, triggers |
Planet | Archetypes, influential energy, type of events |
Degree | Additional information, traits, events, attitude Often related to the traits and personality of the N.A, that what they are or what they do |
• Conjunction & opposition : Significant & important contact, nature of planet becomes a theme
• Hard aspects : Important contact, challenges to evolution & awareness
• Harmonic aspects : Create ease and natural flow, usually don’t bring major events
• Use tight orbs : 0-4 degrees
For additional information, check the ruler of the nameasteroid and its location in the natal chart.
NameAsteroids are useful in natal interpretation, transit, Solar Return charts, and Composite.
If you can’t find the name you’re looking for :
• Try a different spelling
• Try a name that sounds similar
• Try the name in a foreign language
• More tips will be provided in my book..
Nameasteroids are interwoven with the natal promise. Therefore significant relationships are often connected to ‘difficult’ placements in the natal chart, such as the northnode, signs whose ruler is challenged, houses with difficult placements or association with 29°,…
However, it is advised to consider the Natal promise first before judging or making any assumptions.
The NameAsteroids provide an additional layer and dimension of detail and show how a person influences our evolution and awareness (of self).

Name asteroids in the house
The house placement shows the area of life where the person represented by the nameasteroid exerts most influence, for either good or bad. It is the force and divine reasons behind the connection. It shows the themes and concerns that are pushed to the forefront through engagement. The most basic meaning of the house can appear throughout various stages of the contact. A Name highlights certain issues and enables us to see how we deal with the concepts and themes of that house : they can heal or torment us within this area.
1st House
Creates a feeling of will and self-direction, seeing the person as a competition or as a part of you. A contact that motivates and encourages the need to dissect and introspect oneself. The person is somehow always close to you, part of you. It also means that your physical body is involved either by sexual interaction, a fight,.. Your freedom of movement is affected either positively or negatively. This person may help you in self-discovery or become a huge part in defining who you are. They may remind you of yourself and inspire you to be more expressive and individual. Great personal similarities. These are the contacts that help self-awareness and self-respect.
2nd House
Highlights self-esteem and worth. Having similar values or sensual style, a contact that helps you to feel supported and secure, or not at all. Finances are often a key theme and may become the source of disagreements, fears, or insecurity. There’s often a strong physical attraction present, a sensual connection. Problems with possessiveness and anxiety that prevent you from connecting correctly. Similar value systems that connect you.

Often, an unequal dynamic ; you’re faced with the imperfections of both yourself and another. One of the least romantic placements, sacrificing tendency.

The are the contacts that help you to accept imperfections, to make constructive changes.
7th house
The need to learn to cooperate. NameAsteroids in 7th, do not indicate one to be(come) your spouse, however, it’s possible to have the name of spouse/long-term partner in 7th. The contact tends to bring out the shadow self. One can be a stranger to you, an enemy, a close friend or it may be a person you’ve met through others or partner. People that have a significant impact onto how you go about love and relationships. An intimate bond is when you accept the individual differences.

The person has great influence on your outward (professional) expression, whether it’s through pain or something positive.

Shows friends, people from your community,.. but it also shows people you’re drawn towards. Sometimes it shows a person we’re in contact with through internet or met online. This person may change your future perspective, introduce you to new people and may help you in networking.
This may be a lifetime friendship. They show you what friendship means, in the broad sense, that also means that these people can shake you up, unveiling the illusions that you’ve had. They expand your consciousness and awareness of your own uniqueness and how you can use your talents to serve the world. These are the contacts that help you to see creative solutions, changing future plans and wishes.
12th house
Time and distance dissolves, these contacts have an unconditional undertone. You may not get to see one another often. Creates mystical feelings, one can be a hidden enemy, or you may consider this person to be your soul family/tribe. Uncertainty and confusion is possible, as well as feeling addicted to the person. Hard to pinpoint what you feel but it could indicate either a secret enemy, someone that you have some sort of spiritual battle with, you may feel like you don’t connect at all with them. On a more positive note, you understand one another intuitively, there is a great sense of compassion. To be given the time to recover, or to simply be understood in your private and personal suffering. Someone we feel drawn towards on a spiritual level. It can indicate that we don’t fully know the person very well and that their true identity remains a mystery to us. Spiritual teachers can be found in the 12th house.
These are the contacts that help you heal.
In my book, i’ll give an in depth description of the meaning in houses and signs. Stay tuned.
Ways to Interpret the NameAsteroids
You can check NameAsteroids only after meeting someone as you don’t know their name prior.
Consider both Placidus and Whole sign house system and see what makes most sense to you, however both will serve a part of the whole as Placidus gives a more Psychological perspective whereas Whole sign is the more traditional approach.
Significant NameAsteroids :
• Conjunct/opposite to an angle with an orb of 0-3
• Tight aspect with Sun or Moon with an orb of 0-3
• Conjunctions or Oppositions are most powerful aspect
• Opposition to Venus/7th ruler could indicate an interruption of marriage
NameAsteroids by Sign :
The sign of a nameasteroid reveals a very layered dimension, revealing the native’s expectations, perceptions, feelings,… the dynamics and confrontations likely to arise in the relationship. It reflects personality traits, expressions, and attitudes from the native’s perspective, illustrating how the other person impacts them. Issues tend to persist until underlying lessons are learned. The sign indicates how the native perceives the other, bringing certain energies to the forefront. It encourages self-reflection as one of the purposes; Do we engage with this person through the positive or negative qualities of that sign? The sign adds a distinct “flavor” to the individual’s presence in the native’s life, often seen through typical traits that the native perceives most vividly, sometimes even as the preferred way of seeing them. Like house placements, the sign placement offers insight into how well we understand or relate to the sign’s energy. For instance, a nameasteroid in Scorpio may evoke obsessive thoughts or deep jealousy in the native, reflecting Scorpio’s lower vibrational traits, suggesting that learning to release control is key to growth and cooperation. Thus, the sign can bring forth stereotypical expressions and recurring issues that demand to be addressed and healed.
Eventually, we’re meant to fully grasp each sign, for which the relationship serves as a catalyst. This will lead us to full consciousness and balanced integration of the 12 dimensions.
NameAsteroids by degree :
This idea stems from the Degree Theory, and apply to the nameasteroids as additional information, which may also be interpreted as verbs.
Go to the Degree Theory page to see what each degree signifies. For instance 9° is associated with foreign matters, thus the nameasteroid person may have a different cultural background than the native, or they may be philosophical.
25° is associated with Aries, and may indicate a relationship that developed quickly or where personal passions and projects play an important role.
Note : Not always will these degrees give away the Sun, Moon or Rising sign of the person, but it just validates and adds more flavor. It could possibly help in your own interpretations as there is always the possibility of knowing more than 1 person with the same name.
Examples
• I have seen The name of a woman her husband exact conjunct to the ruler of her 7th house. As well as a name asteroid making a trine to Juno and Vertex. Those are strong indicators of marriage, or seeing this person with this name as perfect marriage material.
• I have seen the Name Asteroids of the parents of a child being in the same sign of Sagittarius, whilst the mother’s name is conjunct the MC, it shows the parents to be the teachers of the child.
• I have seen a man his girlfriend’s name making a positive aspect to Saturn while in Synastry she is the Saturn on his DSC. Her name is also sextile to Juno showing him to see her as a perfect spouse, which was what he said in real life.
• I have seen the name Asteroid of a girlfriend exact conjunct to Asteroid Union in the chart of a man.
• I have seen the Name Asteroid of a woman exact conjunct Eros in 8th house of a mans chart, whilst the people involved have had an unusual sexual connection, kinky friends.
• I have seen the Name Asteroid of a man exact conjunct the MC of a woman he abused, while the Name Asteroid opposed Mars and exact trine to Vertex.
• I have seen the Name Asteroid of the partner exact conjunct to the ascendant ruler in a woman’s chart.
• There is often an aspect to Juno or Union and a Name Asteroid of someone you’ve been in a relationship with.
• A woman her name semi-sextile to Neptune in a male chart, while his name is semi-sextile to Juno in her chart. these two people were soullovers, past life husband and wife. The semi-sextile is the ‘unseen’ or a connection that’s unphysical.

Feel free to share your experiences!
Hey, thank you for dropping by and leaving a comment!
I’m still researching the name asteroids as there is not much information to be found online,
However a very interesting topic. Regards an e-book ; yes i have had thoughts about that but with a more spiritual lens.
Will see how time progresses and what ideas come to mind 🙂
Hello! Thank you so much for your free content, your website has been so helpful to my studies!! I have two questions, first, do you offer synastry readings?
Secondly, regarding this post (sorry if you said it and I missed it): What would you say about two name asteroids being conjunct? My partners name asteroid is conjunct my name (his 13 degrees Libra, mine 14 degrees Libra) the conjunction occurs in my 4th house, but in his 12th house. Thanks in advance 🙂
Hello and thank you so much for this article about the PNA’S …
My ex and I have each other’s name asteroids in our 5th houses…and I can certainly tell you that it has played out over our 24 year relationship..and continues to play out with Pluto transiting my 5th and soon to conjunct his name asteroid in my chart and currently trining my name in his chart…
I was gobsmacked at the accuracy of not only the natal charts but ALL of them…including synastry, composite, progressed composite etc…
Email me if you are still looking for research on married couples charts…
How about “my” asteroid in *my chart, conjunct “his” asteroid in *his chart … ?
My name in my chart: 19*37’ Aquarius, 4H
His name in his chart: 20*16’ Aquarius, 1H
ALSO 😂
This guy has the SAME NAME as my Ex (of a 20+ year marriage!)
and their name falls @ 5*44’ Sagittarius, in my 1H, EXACTLY CONJUNCT MY POF (5*57’ Sagg)
AND 😂😂
This 2nd same-name guy’s POF is (7*35’ Sagg,a wee wide, but still!) conjunct mine, though we are six years apart in age
FINALLY 😂😂💀
My name and guys’ name were exactly conjunct in Cancer on the day our marriage blew up and first guy/ex stormed out (which was a total blessing, no worries!) ✨👀🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
There are SEVERAL more “coincidences” when other significant names are added as well 🧿 Thank you sooooo much for this article ! ❤️🔥
Hi there! thanks for sharing, love reading this 🙂 Oh the beauty of CoiNciDeNCes! most mind blowing is that you have both your names conjunct to eachother in synastry
Take care!
This is an absolutely fantastic and informative article!! I love it so much it may be too much lol… Keep the wisdom coming!!
Thank you so much! Yes i agree, the name asteroids are beyond fascinating!
Take care!
Great site you have here but I was curious about if you knew of any community forums that
cover the same topics discussed in this article? I’d really like to be a part of online community where
I can get advice from other experienced individuals that share
the same interest. If you have any recommendations,
please let me know. Kudos!
Ex’s named asteroid conjunct my Pluto in 12th Virgo.
He caused me to get several illnesses, and never truly showed himself to me.
The day I broke it off forever, both named asteroid were in exact opposition. The next day his transit named asteroid went retrograde. I have not heard from him since.
Thank you for sharing your experience and observation! such a literal manifestation of what was going on especially with the opposition.
Hope all is well, take care 🙂
Question – any Observations/knowledge/links
According to a retrograde name-aateoid in the natal chart?
Hi, thank you for your interesting comment. I did observe Retrograde nameasteroids.
Retrogrades can represent something that’s “damaged”, delay, re-occurring/returning, someone who may stick around like a push-pull dynamic is a possibility. For what i’ve noticed is that when a name asteroid is RX there may be issues in regards to that person, they’re either struggling with things themselves or the relationship between you has some ups and downs. The sign in which the name asteroid is placed, can show more about what themes these issues may revolve around, or how the person impacts you.
Hope this was helpful!
Cheers
Oh wow! thank you,
it was an enlightening comment (:
that person name lies within cancer in my 9th house, alongside my mars (rx) and my moon
So, I should probably check for the cancer area I’m this case, right?
Where can I find the Name Asteroid?
Which Code?
correction: the sign of leo
I LOVE your content!!! Just checked for me and my husband. My PNA is in his 1st house, which I thought is so beautiful. Like I am part of his identity and so on. THEN I read about Nemesis and Nessus and tried them out. Both of them are also in his first house and Nessus is within one degree to my PNA for crying out loud…
