! I’m in the process of writing a book about NameAsteroids and how to interpret them.
People willing to contribute their personal NameAsteroid stories, feel free to get in contact with me.
All information shared remains confidential and anonymous. READ MORE about what i’m working on.

There are about 21778 named asteroids in the astro databank. Go look for the names of loved ones, family or even enemies, and see where they are placed within your birthchart.
There is not much information out there about name asteroids, but it’s a handy extra tool to add to your chart when doing a reading. When we are born, the names of our loved ones are already within us. It’s a matter of time to find those people who are important in our lives.

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 it’s more of a weak influence since asteroids are still very young.

1) House placement : Area of life that’s affected/involved
2) Sign placement : The nature and influence of the bond
3) Aspects to the Name : Feelings & attitude around the person
Name Asteroids are only valid when activated through a tight aspect

• Conjunction : the nature of the relationship, from your point of view
• Hard aspects : a challenge connected to this person
• Harmonic aspects : create a positive feeling around this person, or desire
• Use tight orbs : 0-3 degrees

For additional information, check the ruler of the name asteroids and where it’s located in the natal chart.
The name asteroid might not move much in progressions, but you may see more of the story unfolding when you check out the connections to the rulers. They work well by transit, Solar arc and solar return

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

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 Name Asteroids :
• 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

Name Asteroid by Sign :
The sign in which the Name is placed could show the themes that are linked to the person, Such as a Name Asteroid in Scorpio shows that the person could feel intimidating or aids to internal transformation within your life. A Name Asteroid in the sign of Virgo could mean that you think the person rants a lot or that the person somehow affects your health in a positive or negative way.

Name Asteroids by Degree :
This idea stems from the Degree Theory and i think i’m probably the first to consider these two together as i’ve noticed it to be very accurate in my own findings.
Go to the Degree Theory page to see what each degree signifies. An example from my own life is that i have the Name Asteroid of a very significant foreign person on 9 degrees, this degree is linked to the sign Sagittarius which means ‘foreign’. Another example is a woman having the Name Asteroid of her spouse on 1 degree, which is an Aries degree but in reality her spouse is Aries by sun sign. 
Yet another example is that of a man who has the Name Asteroid of his girlfriend on 13 degrees, which is an Aries degree and his girlfriend is Aries rising – The coincidence.
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.

Spouse :
Observations on Name asteroids of Spouse in the birthchart, it seems that often the name is connected by an aspect to 
• Ruler of the 7th house
• Your own Name asteroid
• POF
• Venus/Union
It’s often a conjunction or a square aspect, but harmonious aspects occur too, just less frequent as of my current observations.

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.
