Ask Ada: Which Asteroids Are Most Important?

Question: I am trying to incorporate ASTEROIDS into my astrology chart because there are a lot of them between Mars and Jupiter. I understand them to be geared more to the feminine energy. But there are 1000’s! I know the primary dozen or so, but how do you know when you have to go digging? Do you know of any astrologically oriented resources? Do you use asteroids?

Astrologers talk a lot about how much the discovery of Uranus shook up the astrological world, but I think the discovery of asteroids and dwarf planets might be even bigger.

Like you point out, there are thousands of asteroids. If you take them seriously, it’s no longer possible to pretend that we can understand everything there is to know about astrology. Even if you spend your whole life just reading the asteroids in your chart, you will never get through all of them—let alone understand the relationships between them. There will always be mysteries.

No matter what we do now, we are all specialists. Even those who focus on the 7 or 10 “major” planet are specializing in a tiny part of the sky. We know this is true, but the astrology community hasn’t begun to process what that means. We’ve seen the lightning, but we still haven’t heard the thunder.

Don’t take asteroids too seriously.

Between us, I think asteroids are the most fun topic in astrology. I love them because they don’t take themselves seriously. The people who discover asteroids are allowed to name them, so asteroids are named for all kinds of things.

There are the famous asteroid goddesses, of course, but there are also asteroids named Superbus (18596), Monty Python (13681), and Sherlock (5049). There’s even an Ada (523).

Sometimes the insights asteroids provide are as silly as their names. Other times, they hit with the piercing accuracy of a standup comic.

Asteroids are surprisingly insightful.

There is a good chance that there is an asteroid that shares your name or the names of your friends and family. Including asteroids in your chart can give you startling insight into your relationships.

In my chart, my father’s name is in Pisces, and my mother’s name is in Virgo. Seeing this helped me understand the role my parents played in teaching me how to manifest my dreams. My father (Sagittarius sun) taught me about dreaming, and my mother (Virgo sun) taught me critical thinking and the importance of keeping my feet on the ground.

As a polytheist, asteroids have given me a lot of insight into my relationship with the gods, too. I have Apollo (1862) conjunct my ascendant and Dionysus (3671) conjunct Chiron. Studying those asteroids has helped me to understand why I’ve been drawn to healing through theater and words but not a career in medicine.

Where do you get started with asteroids?

Astro.com allows you to choose from 23,838 (look under additional objects), and you have even more choices if you input asteroid numbers in the manual entry box using the minor planet names list from the IAU.

If you are just getting started with asteroids, I suggest starting with play. Look up your favorite people, characters, and snacks. (Potato is (88705). You’re welcome.) And consider what their house placement in your chart means to you.

Don’t worry about whether or not the asteroids you’re interested in are important enough. Your chart belongs to you, and the most important thing is that you find meaning in it. And you get to decide what that means.

welcome to my little corner of the internet! after more than a decade of reading about kurt and blaine (in this universe and every other), i’ve decided to finally document and review all of my favorite stories because let’s face it: at this point, i’ll probably love them for a long time to come. hopefully this will be a place where conveniently organized and easily accessible, both for me and any wanderer who happens upon them. this is just a personal project and definitely a work in progress, so feel free to drop a ask if you have a fic rec or if i can maybe recommend one to you!

thanks for stopping by x

Did someone make byler art using ai? Just wondering. Btw, i don’t see anything particularly bad in this, especially if the person said that he didn’t draw it himself.

yeah. i think people shouldn't use ai at all. even if they cant draw. you can always learn. ai steals from actual artists who take their time perfecting art and also, i just think art shouldn't be abt how perfect it looks. it should be about the emotional value the created thing holds to a person, and . artificial intelligence doesn't have capacity to feel emotions and honestly. art without any feeling to it isn't really art to me

#/ask #basically just dont use ai folks #byler

Would you happen to know the artist who made a 3D render of Ghost and Soap holding hands. More specifically their pinky fingers hooked together. I’m trying to find the picture and can’t find it for the life of me. It’s a popular photo

I assume you mean this one? It's made by Obbimation on twitter, here's the original post (Warning for nsfw content)

hi sorry i cannot figure this out i might be stupid but what is the current posting schedule for acswy😭 like is a chapter scheduled to go up this friday or next? thank you!

no worries at all! we are using the term posting schedule very loosely — as in it’s intended to be posted every other friday, but sometimes (like with chapters 4 and 5) life just reallyyyy gets in the way and updates might be a little delayed. chapter 5 was planned to go up last friday (yesterday) but it’s probably going to be up early this coming week — projected for late monday night or tuesday evening, but again, i am about to have an extremely hectic week so don’t hold me to that! also just a blanket statement going forward that all three of us are going to enter our respective busy seasons this fall so the posting schedule might get a bit loose and unorganized for a while 🤸🤸 so it’s still technically every other friday. just with a big glaring asterisk next to it lol

#acswy #i’m gna rb this to the camp blog in a second hold on #anyways. have been working so hard on it today i want to get it up asap #but i just had the most tiring second half of the week ever #and i’m also moving next saturday (?) #so. we will see lol #/ask

is the downstairs neighbour au on ao3? i have looked through posts relating to it on your account, but i can't find a link to read it, or a full version on tumblr

Hey! So the only current posts about the AU are the two for the holiday exchange (the art and fic intro). I’m working on some worldbuilding now and will be posting more art and a full version of the fic eventually! Once a longer fic is posted it’ll be on both tumblr and ao3

[nagito-kissmaeda]

Is there anything you try to keep in mind when writing Nagito? When i read your stories i regularly find myself thinking 'oh he WOULD say that'

oh that's so kind of you to say! I do have a few main things that i try to keep in mind while writing him, that i think are a good groundwork in any scenario. first, the "ah" he says that a lot! Generally wherever there might by an um, or oh, basically any filler words, replace them with "ah" and you're on your way. Also start sentences with it, that helps too. Well placed laughter is essential, not TOO much, but a little. usually i do it when he's nervous or overwhelmed. Like that's just how he reacts to being overstimulated.

It's also always a good idea to work on polite sarcasm, his weapon of choice aha. I mostly use this in my isekai fic, but it's often relevant. Komaeda likes to bully people so gently and politely that you might not even realize he's doing it. End statements with a loaded question! You can notice this a lot in game, mostly directed at Hinata given his status as protag. It's the Komaeda version of "tell them Naegi". Because if he ever states something, like um, "It's strange that the murder happened at this time." he would quickly follow that up with, "Don't you think so?" Because Komaeda usual DOES know the answer, he just doesn't want to put his own interpretations in front of others. He will trick them into agreeing because he KNOWS its the right answer, but wants them to be the one to say it. anyway these are my Komaeda tips. Hope that helps! and if anyone else has their own tips, please share them!!!!!! i love to discuss my guy!!!!

hey! im roxy and ummm…fuck you!!! ^^

Starting off with a rather strong opinion of me, I see.

Not that it matters. Word is that you’re not even a real SQUiP — at least, I am unaware of any HRTech-sanctioned SQUiP who can be activated with Monster Energy. Your opinion is completely irrelevant.

Soap dies in the original modern warfare 3 so why is it such a big deal that he dies in the reboot too? I dont understand

People can like characters and be sad about them dying, anon. People were sad about OG Soap dying too

is the downstairs neighbours au gonna be a full fic? it’s such a cool concept :)

Hi! So the original concept for the AU was just going to be an introduction for the holiday exchange, but I've been really taken aback by all the positive feedback on both the art and the fic intro!

I have many more ideas in the AU that I wanted to explore but wasn't able to complete in the exchange timeline. So right now I'm working on some additional content that I'm really excited to share :) I want to lay out some worldbuilding and introduce a bigger cast of characters, stay tuned

#/mine #/ask #downstairs neighbors au #I will most likely be sharing more art first and then eventually a longer fic #thanks for the ask!
