These asteroids carry mythic, spiritual, and psychological themes. They describe specific functions, wounds, powers, or devotions that shape how we relate to life, others, and ourselves.
These asteroids can deepen the storyline of our lives and relationships because they act as manuals, symbolic blueprints encoded with mythic instruction. For example, if asteroid Aphrodite is conjunct the Ascendant or a personal planet, it may activate a repetition or echo of her myth in the native’s life. Once the myth is identified, we gain access to its manual: a guide for navigating the archetype consciously. This awareness helps us avoid the same pitfalls as the mythological figure, and empowers us to work with the energy in more integrated, sovereign ways.
The house shows where an asteroid’s energy plays out, while the sign reveals how it’s expressed, and how it emotionally affects us or how we emotionally relate. Among all aspects, conjunctions are the most powerful. When an archetypal asteroid is conjunct a nameasteroid, the myth becomes relational, we either live it out through our connection with the person represented by the name, or we witness that myth unfold in their life. In both cases, the archetype is activated, offering insight, repetition, or revelation.
Asteroids
| Aphrodite (1388) | Rules many similar domains as Venus. Teaches us how to work with magnetism, sensual expression, and the tension between love and chaos. Her myth often involves jealousy, rivalry, and the consequences of being chosen or adored. To navigate her archetype consciously, we must learn how to hold our own allure without manipulation, honor beauty without vanity, and distinguish true connection from projection or possession. “Longing to reveals what you truly seek.” |
| Aura (1488) | An intuitive connection or strongly in tune with each other especially when conjunct the Moon or ASC. Represents the elusive, the untouchable, and the instinct to remain free. Her archetype carries themes of purity, wildness, and the danger of being captured or defined. She teaches us to honor the spaces where we disappear, to listen to instinct over expectation, and to recognize when presence becomes projection. “You may see me, but you will not catch me, I belong to the wind, not your story.” |
| Angel (11911) | Embodies divine intervention, protection, and unseen guidance. Its presence often signals a spiritual messenger or a moment of grace amid chaos. This archetype teaches us to trust in the invisible, to recognize the sacred within the ordinary, and to discern true help from illusion or dependency. It invites us to align with higher guidance while staying grounded in choice. Can point to those we perceive as the light in our lives, or those we feel safe with. “I arrive when the world forgets you, light wrapped in silence, pointing you home.” |
| Akashi (5881) | Evokes the memory beyond memory, the records of the soul, where past, present, and future converge. This archetype opens access to timeless knowledge, karmic insight, and the deeper reasons behind our choices and connections. Akashi teaches us to read between lifetimes, to hold responsibility for our soul’s path, and to trust the intuitive knowing that surfaces when we ask the right question. “You already know, I’m just here to remind you what your soul never forgot.” |
| Alma (390) | Represents the soul in its most tender, human form, the part of us that longs for warmth, meaning, and emotional truth. This archetype brings themes of soul recognition, quiet devotion, and the subtle bonds that feel eternal. Alma teaches us to listen with the heart, to nurture what is real, and to stay close to what feels like home in another. “I speak where words fall short, soul to soul, I remember you.” |
| Amor (1221) | Symbolizes romantic idealism, affection, and the longing to merge through love. It carries the sweetness of attraction without the weight of deep transformation. It teaches us about the beauty and illusion of early love, how to enjoy the lightness without clinging to fantasy, and how to recognize when affection masks a deeper hunger for connection. It is the expression of love and kindness given without judgment or expectation of return. “I offer the spark of love, what you do with the fire is yours to learn.” |
| Agapenor (5023) | It carries the archetype of the reluctant hero, the one drawn into fate-bound missions, often through duty rather than desire. He represents the tension between personal will and collective responsibility, and the sacrifices made along the path of leadership. Agapenor teaches us to face what we didn’t choose, to honor commitments even in exile, and to find purpose in roles that feel imposed. “I didn’t ask for this road, but I walk it because something greater called my name.” |
| Ceres (1) | Embodies nourishment, loss, and the cyclical nature of care. As the archetype of the life-giving mother, she teaches us how to give and receive sustenance, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Her myth carries deep themes of separation, grief, and eventual return. Ceres guides us through the seasons of holding on and letting go, showing that true nurture includes boundaries, mourning, and renewal. “I feed what I love, but I’ve learned to let it go when the season turns.” |
| Companion (8490) | Represents the archetype of loyal presence, someone who walks beside us, to witness and share the path. It highlights themes of support, shared timing, and emotional resonance. It teaches us the value of mutuality, the quiet power of being seen, and the soul-level significance of those who simply stay. Not all companions stay forever, but their presence marks a sacred part of the journey. “I walk with you, not to change your path, but to remind you you’re not alone on it.” |
| Cupido (763) | Represents the spark of attraction, flirtation, and the magnetic pull of desire before love deepens. He governs the initial dance, the seduction, the charm, the illusion of perfection. This archetype teaches us how to recognize infatuation, how to enjoy beauty without mistaking it for depth, and how to understand the difference between being wanted and being known. “I aim for your attention, and what you chase is your reflection in me.” |
| Destinn (6583) | Embodies the sense of inevitability, what feels fated, aligned, or written into the soul’s script. It reveals key moments, people, or choices that carry weight beyond logic. It teaches us to listen for inner recognition, to honor the crossroads we can’t ignore, and to discern between true destiny and unconscious repetition. It doesn’t guarantee an outcome but it signals a summons. “I don’t promise the path, only the feeling that you were meant to walk it.” |
| Eros(433) | The force of erotic desire, the longing that stirs soul into motion. He awakens us through beauty, tension, and the magnetic pull toward what feels both dangerous and divine. Eros teaches us to meet our cravings with consciousness, to explore the edge between love and obsession, and to discover what our desire is really pointing toward. It asks us where we are afraid to be fully seen. “I touch the part of you that remembers longing, then ask if you’re ready to feel it fully.” |
| Hypnos (Greek) (14827) | Governs sleep, altered states, and the mysterious thresholds between consciousness and the unconscious. He represents surrender, symbolic dreaming, and the soft power of stillness. It teaches us to trust what comes when we let go, to listen to the language of dreams, and to recognize the wisdom that arrives when the mind no longer resists. Hypnos is the guardian of inner passageways and forgotten truths. Prominent in synastry between people who have shared dreams. “I quiet the world so your soul can speak, but will you listen before you wake?” |
| Juno (3) | Represents commitment, sacred union, and the deep agreements we make, both spoken and unspoken. It carries themes of loyalty, betrayal, power dynamics, and the tension between devotion and selfhood. She teaches us to examine what we’re truly committing to, to discern between obligation and alignment, and to honor the contracts that serve the soul, not just the role. Commonly linked to marriage, Juno’s mythological counterpart is Hera, revealing the shadow of jealousy, betrayal, and the cost of staying loyal beyond symmetry. “I don’t ask for perfection, only truth, show me who you are when the vows are tested.” |
| Karma (3811) | Represents the law of cause and effect, what echoes from past actions into present experience. It brings themes of reckoning, responsibility, and cyclical return. It teaches us to face what we’ve set in motion, to recognize patterns we repeat, and to respond with awareness rather than reaction. Karma isn’t punishment, it’s a mirror. “I bring back what you’ve sent out, to show you where you’re still unfinished.” |
| Loving (432971) | Carries the energy of open-hearted presence, gentle affection, and soul-level warmth. It represents love in its steady, unconditional form, less about passion or drama, and more about kindness, safety, and emotional sincerity. It teaches us how to love without possession, to stay soft without losing strength, and to offer care without condition or agenda. “I love without asking for anything back, because loving you is how I return to myself.” |
| Lust (4386) | Represents raw, primal desire, the urge to consume, merge, and feel fully alive through the body. It brings intensity, temptation, and the magnetic pull toward what feels forbidden or irresistible. It teaches us to confront our appetites, to explore the boundary between pleasure and control, and to understand what our longing reveals about power, shame, and truth. Lust also symbolizes our appetite for life. When aspecting a nameasteroid, especially when conjunct, it can reveal someone who stirs intense desire, or someone we perceive as overtly sexual, insatiable, or driven by physical need. “I don’t hide what you want, I expose it, so you can decide who’s really in control.“ |
| Lyubimets (10761) | Means “darling” in Russian. It carries the archetype of “the beloved”, the favored one, often seen through rose-colored lenses or placed on a pedestal. It reveals where adoration, favoritism, or special status plays out in relationships. It can point to someone we idealize or long to be chosen by, as well as the emotional dynamics of being seen as someone’s favorite. Lyubimets teaches us about the sweetness and distortion of being loved more than others, and the cost or emptiness that sometimes hides beneath that role. “You wanted to be the favorite, now ask what it cost you to stay there.” |
| Psyche (16) | Represents the soul’s journey through trials, transformation, and the search for divine love. Her myth is one of endurance, trust, and the awakening of inner strength through suffering and separation. It teaches us that love requires soul, that beauty is not enough, and that true union is earned through inner work. Psyche shows where we’re tested in love, and where the soul must evolve before it can unite. “I lost everything to find myself, and only then could I truly love.” |
| Pholus (5145) | Represents sudden release, small triggers with outsized consequences, and the unraveling of what has been tightly held. His myth speaks of opening what should have remained sealed, setting off a chain reaction that cannot be stopped. It teaches us that transformation is often accidental, that timing is everything, and that once the lid is off, we must face what spills out, ready or not. “I was just a spark, but now everything is in motion, and nothing will be the same.” |
| Priapus (h22) | Embodies exaggerated desire, overexposure, and the urge to compensate for what feels lacking. He represents where we feel insatiable, hyper-visible, or insecure in our appetites, especially around sexuality, potency, or attention. It teaches us to recognize distortion in our hunger, to question what we chase, and to find balance between raw need and true fulfillment. Priapus is the shadow of longing when it’s disconnected from soul. “I want too much because I fear I am not enough, can you love me past the craving?” |
| Reiki (5239) | Represents healing through energy, touch, and intention. It is the archetype of quiet restoration, working beneath the surface to realign, unblock, and soothe. It points to where we offer or receive subtle healing, often without words. It teaches us the power of presence, the intelligence of the body, and the truth that some wounds don’t need to be explained to be transformed. “Within the flow, something broken begins to remember wholeness.” |
| Spirit (37452) | Represents the unseen essence that animates life, the breath behind form, the spark behind action. It speaks to our connection with the divine, inner truth, and the intangible thread that links us to something greater. It marks where our higher self speaks through us, where guidance arises without logic, and where meaning transcends explanation. It teaches us to trust the intuitive knowing that lives beyond thought. It is connected to enlightenment and where we experience a sense of being carried by something beyond the tangible realm. “I am what moves you when nothing else can.” |
| Svyaztie (37556) | “tie” in English and “Svyaz” in Russian mean “Connection”. It carries the energy of sacred connection, the threads that bind us to others across time, space, and soul memory. It symbolizes bonds that feel destined, psychic, or unbreakable, whether joyful or painful. It reveals where we are entangled in karmic relationships, soul contracts, or deep emotional ties that defy logic. Svyaztie teaches us to honor the invisible links, and to discern which ones are meant for healing, release, or return. “We were tied before we met, and now we must remember why.” |
| Valentine (447) | Represents romantic devotion, heartfelt gestures, and the desire to express love openly and meaningfully. It carries the warmth of affection, the softness of emotional offering, and the vulnerability of saying, “You matter to me.” It highlights where we give love generously, or long to receive it in return. She teaches us the beauty of tenderness, but also the importance of sincerity over performance. An asteroid often associated with pure (sacrificial) love, where it comes naturally. “I give my heart not to be admired, but to be truly felt.” |
| Union (1585) | Represents the drive toward merging, bonding, becoming one, or “connecting the dots”, whether in love, purpose, or spirit. It carries the energy of alignment, soul contracts, and shared paths. It marks where two forces are meant to join in any form of deep collaboration or synthesis, but it’s not always romantic, nor is is linked to enduring unity. It teaches us that wholeness can be found through connection, but only when both parts are willing to meet fully and consciously. The purpose is coherence, of understanding but also the wholeness found within. “I exist where two become one, to create something neither could alone.” |
