Quick Asteroid Synastry Notes

Recorded these for me and published them for you. Remember that with asteroids, you should only consider them to be significant if there are supporting planetary aspects. Disclaimer in bio.

Code: 4950,1585,1589,9305,24899,

🏠 House [4950] can indicate settling down, and the planets and objects dealing in desire and ambition aspecting it can signify how the two feel about moving in together.

🏠 I know someone with House conjunct her partner's Pluto and they're mutually obsessed with the idea of living together, but she is always coming up with reasons not to. Also, usually she's the one who goes to his house when they have sex lmao.

🏠 Her House, meanwhile, is trine his Jupiter and Venus, and sextile his Moon, and it seems like he, in contrast, is so charmed by the idea of living with her that her fears seem to him like excuses, which causes some tensions.

💍 Union [1585] often can signify marriage, or marriage prospects, but it may also signify teamwork, cooperation, or, in extreme cases, a feeling of being bound by fate. The asteroid person may feel as though the object or angle of B is an extension of themself.

💍 A's Union conjunct B's Ketu/South Node creates a spiritual bond. A will feel connected to B's very soul, and B will feel most comfortable when in A's company. The two are very in sync.

💍 Actually, pay special attention to Union conjunct Vesta. Vesta's symbolism most correlates to loyalty - though there's some debate whether it's born of trust, duty, or passion. My favorite words for it are devotion and dedication.

💍 It follows that this aspect makes for a very true and devout bond, when unafflicted. The Vesta person's principles and passions will inspire a feeling of solidarity in the Union native, and the Vesta person in turn will treat any partnership between the two with the utmost gravity.

💍 Union conjunct Medium Coeli will give both members the feeling that joining forces is a work of destiny. This is likely to signify a business relationship, or one more in the public eye.

💫 Fanatica [1589] can indicate obsession, excitement, and mania, both feeling and inspiring it. In synastry, aspects with it represent how you make each other act irrationally, and lose all reason.

💫 A's Fanatica conjunct B's Sun creates all-and-out obsession with each other. Lucrezia and Cesare had this aspect.

💫 You're likely to find some very strong Fanatica aspects between you and your favorite celebrities, artists, and performers, from either side, asteroid or object.

⚠️ Aspects to Hazard [9305] can indicate a real danger or drastic impact on the other. It is not necessarily extensively harmful, but it does tend to make others close to the object individual concerned.

⚠️ For example, a relationship where A's Hazard is conjunct B's Medium Coeli will cause those close to B to worry that A will cost B their professional or public future.

⚠️ A's Hazard opposite B's Moon implies that B is fully aware of the emotional danger that A puts them in, and may even resent it, but will continue to involve themselves regardless.

⚠️ A's Hazard opposite B's Vesta puts B in a situation where they have to choose between loyalties - perhaps between family and love, or between ambition and friendship, etc.

🏰 Dominiona [24899] signifies what you consider yours, and what you feel the need to be in control of. Thus if A's Dominiona tightly aspects any of B's objects or angles, it indicates A is possessive of and protective of that part of B.

🏰 It may not be entitlement for its own sake. With tight Dominiona conjunctions, the asteroid native feels a responsibility to help B and contribute to their growth in the area ruled by the object. As a result, any threat to them, or claim staked on them, feels like a personal attack to A.

🏰 For example, if A's Dominiona is conjunct B's Medium Coeli, they eagerly take them under their wing in the professional world, or the public world. This is an aspect correlated to a relationship similar to employer and employee, or manager and star. If this isn't the case, A feels compelled to promote B regardless.

🏰 It follows that they would be protective of B's reputation, but they may also be jealous if B gets attention from another source. In this case, A would be viscerally affected by any slander or praise B receives, possibly even causing a scene.

🏰 The Medium Coeli also correlates to expectations. Thus, A feels entitled to dictate what expectations B is held to - though whether they are lax, or strict, impossible or far too easy depends on the sign and other aspects - but A may be very uncomfortable or even offended when others expect something different of B.

🏰 The other side of this is that Dominiona is opposite the Imum Coeli - which means that the private self and the past of person B forever feel distant to person A, and the existence of B's personal life at all may feel like either a threat or tantalizingly out of reach.

🏰 Another example would be B's Moon conjunct A's Dominiona. In this case, A may feel as though B's interior world belongs to them, likely because A tries to help B deal with their emotions, past, and home life.

🏰 B in turn is emotionally affected by A's exertion of control. On the one hand, it's comforting to have their help managing their mind and heart, but on the other hand, it can be stifling as hell.

🏰 Or look at Queen Elizabeth I and Robert Dudley, for how other aspects with this asteroid can manifest. Elizabeth's Dominiona was square his Moon-Neptune conjunction. She was reportedly very threatened by the idea of him remarrying, and was very jealous of any woman who garnered his affection.

🏰 Her Dominiona was also conjunct his Antivertex. The Antivertex is the inverse of the Vertex, thus it represents the karmic effects of our standalone existence, and Robert's character drastically impacted the way Elizabeth's reign unfolded.

Thanks for reading, hope it was helpful ♡

What do the Dwarf Planets mean?

I've been using many of the dwarf planets (trans-Neptunian objects) in all the personal and celebrity charts I've looked at for some months now, and I feel like I have a pretty decent grasp of the planetary archetypes. I'm gonna write some information about each planet to kind of summarise what they represent in astrology

I'm also grouping these planets by their orbital periods, as they seem to be in groups in their orbital period around the sun. The groups seem to carry similar themes too

Also, since there are a lot of these planets, I'll just say quickly which ones are the most important in a chart: Eris and Haumea are the most important from what I've seen (they are also the biggest planets). After that, I'd say that Makemake, Quaoar, and Orcus also play a big role

These planets are related to our need to protect ourselves

Eris: 558 yr orbit. This is the planet that urges you to speak out and fight against anything that you consider to go against your beliefs. It gives you the drive to fight for what you believe in. It also has quite a political nature in it. It is what gives you strong moral convictions and makes you want to voice your opinion loud and clear. It is also related to your ability to stand up for yourself when you or others are being violated, such as when you see someone being rude to a waiter. Eris energy makes you want to speak up against that person

Gonggong: 554 yr orbit. This planet encourages us to see the cause and effect of our actions. This energy is very future-oriented, it wants us to think about what we can do better to have things work in our own favour. Without this energy well-integrated we lack foresight and we feel like we are walking blindly with no direction

These planets are related to our perspective on the world

Quaoar: 286yr orbit. This planet represents the need for us to have dramatic shifts in awareness. Because many people have this planet conjunct Pluto (1993-2004 roughly), it can feel especially difficult for these people to change their mindsets, it can feel like something is preventing this from occurring. But if you can use this energy well, you will feel that you have a fresh perspective on the world and your place in it

Haumea: 284 yr orbit. This planet represents the extent to which you feel connected to the world around you. It inspires you to have faith that things will all work out in the end, because you have faith in the world. Very spiritual energy, it connects you to nature and inspires you to surrender to believe in the natural process of life

Haumea actually enters Scorpio 2 hours from when I'm writing this!! Leaving Libra for the first time since 1994

These planets are kind natured, they are what pull us towards the 'light side' of life

Makemake: 306 yr orbit. This one is bigger than the others (similar in size to Haumea and Gonggong), but smaller than Pluto and Eris. Makemake represents a way of thinking that splits us into a more civilised and a wild self, and assumes the more civilised self is the better of the two (It basically represents our morals). It is associated with self-improvement, and the desire to make oneself more refined in behaviour. It is a very charitable planet, but it can also make someone quite sure of their inherent goodness, despite the fact that their actions show something different (a certain guy from Germany had this conjunct his Sun)

Varda: 313 yr orbit. This Dwarf Planet is associated with our desire to compromise and adjust our behaviour to take into account other people’s needs. It is where we are initially self-effacing and too selfless, leaving us feeling used by others. In healthy expression, self-effacing tendencies turn into compassionate understanding from a place of respect and sympathy for others

Plutino planets deal with taboo topics, and feelings of restriction, they share orbital resonance with Pluto

Orcus: 247 yr orbit. Orcus' objective is to find (or deny) the truth of any situation. Someone with Orcus integrated well is going to be someone who is self-aware and strongly against lying, both to themselves and others. This planet in hard aspects deals with issues of denial, and it can show hypocrisy too, where someone likes to bring the truth out of others, but fails to live by what they preach

If you made it this far, thank you! I hope this inspires you to try and learn about these planets, they are very useful for understanding yourself and others

Wes Anderson's Asteroid City reminds me why I became a film history scholar and why I love this art form so much. I feel like (at least) half of the movie is now permanently engraved in my brain and in my heart for me to treasure forever.

How unprepared I was to be so deeply touched by a funny comedy today. And how grateful I am for it.

I love art and cinema so much.

(and my bf loved it too which is an incredibly cool added bonus)

#asteroid city #wes anderson #cinema #personal stuff #favorite movies #i love all the cast of characters and want to think about them for days #it's been a while since i've been so emotional over a movie #academic research tends to wipe a bit of the feeling away sometimes #it's been an hour and i want to see it again

What you see here is an Artist's Impression of an asteroid crater 😳

The Chicxulub crater was formed around 66 million years ago, when a large asteroid (Approximately 10km in diameter) struck the Earth. Many scientists think that this event was the cause of the the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction.

The data collected at Diamond contributed to a wider study of the space weathering signatures on the asteroid.

The Scientists did a chemical analysis of the astroid to see the elements and the element isotype it is made of with ZANES X-ray device. Then looked through an electron microscope ePSIC to see the grain of rock on the asteroid.

The building blocks of Ryugu are remnants of interactions between water, minerals, and organics in the early Solar System prior to the formation of Earth.

X-ray Absorption Near Edge Spectroscopy (XANES).

Diamond’s electron Physical Science Imaging Centre (ePSIC)

Without a protective atmosphere, space-exposed surfaces of airless Solar System bodies gradually experience an alteration in composition, structure and optical properties through Space Weathering

Solar wind irradiation and high-velocity micrometeoroid bombardment dominate space weathering for all airless bodies.

The mineralogy of most Ryugu grains investigated by (scanning) transmission electron microscopy is similar to that of CI chondrites, which are the most chemically primitive materials in the Solar System

Robert van der Hilst to step down as head of the Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/robert-van-der-hilst-to-step-down-as-head-of-the-department-of-earth-atmospheric-and-planetary-sciences/

Robert van der Hilst to step down as head of the Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences

Robert van der Hilst, the Schlumberger Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences, has announced his decision to step down as the head of the Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences at the end of this academic year. A search committee will convene later this spring to recommend candidates for Van der Hilst’s successor.

“Rob is a consummate seismologist whose images of Earth’s interior structure have deepened our understanding of how tectonic plates move, how mantle convection works, and why some areas of the Earth are hot-spots for seismic and geothermal activity,” says Nergis Mavalvala, the Curtis and Kathleen Marble Professor of Astrophysics and the dean of the MIT School of Science. “As an academic leader, Rob has been a steadfast champion of the department’s cross-cutting research and education missions, especially regarding climate sciences writ large at MIT. His commitment to diversity and community have made the department — and indeed, MIT — a better place to do our best work.”

“For 12 years, it has been my honor to lead this department and collaborate with all our community members — faculty, staff, and students,” says Van der Hilst. “EAPS is at the vanguard of climate science research at MIT, as well Earth and planetary sciences and studies into the co-evolution of life and changing environments.”

Among his other leadership roles on campus, Van der Hilst most recently served as co-chair of the faculty review committee for MIT’s Climate Grand Challenges in which EAPS researchers secured nine finalists and two, funded flagship projects. He also serves on the Institute’s Climate Nucleus to help enact Fast Forward: MIT’s Climate Action Plan for the Decade.

In his more-than-decade as department head, one of Van der Hilst’s major initiatives has been developing, funding, and constructing the Tina and Hamid Moghadam Building, rapidly nearing completion adjacent to Building 54. The $35 million, LEED-platinum Building 55 will be a vital center and showcase for environmental and climate research on MIT’s campus. With assistance from the Institute and generous donors, the renovations and expansion will add classrooms, meeting, and event spaces, and bring headquarters offices for EAPS, the MIT/Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) Joint Program in Oceanography/Applied Ocean Science, and MIT’s Environmental Solutions Initiative (ESI) together, all under one roof.

He also helped secure the generous gift that funded the Norman C. Rasmussen Laboratory for climate research in Building 4, as well as the Peter H. Stone and Paola Malanotte Stone Professorship, now held by prominent atmospheric scientist Arlene Fiore.

On the academic side of the house, Van der Hilst and his counterpart from the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE), Ali Jadbabaie, the JR East Professor and CEE department head, helped develop MIT’s new bachelor of science in climate system science and engineering (Course 1-12), jointly offered by EAPS and CEE.

As part of MIT’s commitment to aid the global response to climate change, the new degree program is designed to train the next generation of leaders, providing a foundational understanding of both the Earth system and engineering principles — as well as an understanding of human and institutional behavior as it relates to the climate challenge.

Beyond climate research, Van der Hilst’s tenure at the helm of the department has seen many research breakthroughs and accomplishments: from high-profile NASA missions with EAPS science leadership, including the most recent launch of the Psyche mission and the successful asteroid sample return from OSIRIS-REx, to the development of next-generation models capable of describing Earth systems with increasing detail and accuracy. Van der Hilst helped enable such scientific advancements through major improvements to experimental facilities across the department, and, more generally, his mission to double the number of fellowships available to EAPS graduate students.

“By reducing the silos and inequities created by our disciplinary groups, we were able to foster collaborations that allow faculty, students, and researchers to explore fundamental science questions in novel ways that expand our understanding of the natural world — with profound implications for helping to guide communities and policymakers toward a sustainable future,” says Van der Hilst.

Community-focused

In 2019, Van der Hilst began looking ahead to the department’s 40th anniversary in 2023 and charged a number of working groups to evaluate the department’s past and present, and to re-imagine its future. Led by faculty, staff, and students, Task Force 2023 was a yearlong exercise of data-gathering and community deliberation, looking broadly at three focus areas: Image, Visibility, and Relevance; External Synergies: collaboration and partnerships across campus; and Departmental Organization and Cohesion. Despite being interrupted by the pandemic, the resulting reports became a detailed blueprint for EAPS to capitalize on its strengths and begin to effect systemic improvements in areas like undergraduate education, external messaging, and recognition and belonging for administrative and research staff.

In addition to helping the department mark its 40th anniversary with a celebration this coming spring, Van der Hilst will oversee the dedication of the Moghadam Building, including the renaming of lecture hall 54-100 for Dixie Lee Bryant, the first recipient (woman or man) of a geology degree from MIT in 1891.

As department head, faculty renewal and retention were key areas of focus for Van der Hilst. In addition to improvements in the faculty search process, he was responsible for the appointment of 20 new faculty members, and in the process shifted the gender ratio from one-fifth to one-third of the faculty identifying as female; he also oversaw the development and implementation of a successful junior faculty mentoring program within EAPS in 2013.

Van der Hilst also made great strides toward improving diversity, equity, and inclusion within the department in other ways. In 2016, he formed the inaugural EAPS Diversity Council (now the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee) and, in 2020, made EAPS the first department at MIT to appoint an associate department head for diversity, equity, and inclusion, tapping Associate Professor David McGee to guide ongoing community dialogues and initiatives supporting improvements in composition, achievement, belonging, engagement, and accountability.

With McGee and EAPS student leadership, Van der Hilst supported the EAPS response to calls for social justice leadership and participation in national initiatives such as the American Geophysical Union’s Unlearning Racism in Geoscience program, and he helped navigate the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic while maintaining a sense of community.

Seismic shift

After stepping down from his current role, Van der Hilst will have more time to catch up on research aimed at understanding of Earth’s deep interior structure and its evolution. With research collaborators, he developed seismic imaging methods to explore Earth’s interior from sedimentary basins near its surface down to the core–mantle boundary some 2,800 kilometers under the surface. Recently, he authored a Nature Communications paper with doctoral student Shujuan Mao PhD ’21 on a pilot application that uses seismometers as a cost-effective way to monitor and map groundwater fluctuations in order to measure groundwater reserves.

Before becoming department head, Van der Hilst served as the director of the Earth Resources Laboratory (ERL). In the eight years he served as director, he helped to integrate across disciplines, departments, and schools, transforming ERL into MIT’s primary home for research and education focused on subsurface energy resources.

Van der Hilst was named a fellow of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) in 1997 and became a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2014. Before he was named the Schlumberger Professor in 2011, Van der Hilst held a Cecil and Ida Green professorship chair. He has received many awards, including the Doornbos Memorial Prize from the International Association of Seismology and Physics of the Earth’s Interior, AGU’s James B. Macelwane Medal, a Packard Fellowship, and a VICI Innovative Research Award from the Dutch National Science Foundation.

Van der Hilst received his PhD in geophysics from Utrecht University in 1990. After postdoctoral research at the University of Leeds and the Australian National University, he joined the MIT faculty in 1996. He was ERL director from 2004 to 2012, when he was then named EAPS department head, succeeding Maria Zuber, the E. A. Griswold Professor of Geophysics, MIT vice president for research, and presidential advisor for science and technology policy.

Predicting the chart of your future spouse

First of all, thank you to @harmoonix for inspiring me to make this post!

I wanted to share some key thing I've observed that you should look out for in your Groom (5129) and Briede (19029) persona charts if you want to know what placements your future spouse might have. Look at Groom PC if you're looking to marry a man and Briede PC if you're looking to marry a woman. These asteroids move very slowly so in order to get more insight about your person looking at these charts is important

For other options you can apply these to Descendent PC and to a lesser extent Juno PC, those can ring true as well, but the main research of this post is focused on Groom/briede

These are patterns I've extracted based on my research analyzing the charts of married couples. Presented in no particular order

. ݁ ˖ ࣪ . ⋆ * .♡ *:･ﾟ. ݁ ˖ ࣪ . ⋆ * .♡ *:･ﾟ. ݁ ˖ ࣪ .

work by astrobydalia

The Ascendant/1st house/Placement of asc ruler

… in the groom/briede pc. This I’ve seen correlated mainly to the Sun or Asc of spouse since it is indicative of their main personality traits and characteristics. It can also relate to other prominent placements/energies of spouse

Hailey Bieber has Scorpio ASC in her Groom PC and Justin Bieber is a Scorpio ASC

Justin Bieber has Sagittarius ASC in his Briede PC and Hailey is a Sagittarius ASC

One of my clients had Cancer ASC on her Groom PC and her husband was a water ASC with moon in his 1st house

Blake Lively has Sagittarius ASC with Uranus, Saturn and Neptune 1st house in her Groom PC and her husband Ryan is a mutable rising. It’s worth mentioning the he’s also known for having a bold, eccentric (Uranus) and humorous personality, he's also older than her (Saturn) and he's from a different country (sag). He also has Sagittarius IC and Venus

Joanne Woodward has Virgo Asc in her Groom pc with its ruler falling in Libra and her husband Paul Newman was an earth rising with Venus and Mercury conjunct his Asc

. ݁ ˖ ࣪ . ⋆ * .♡ *:･ﾟ. ݁ ˖ ࣪ . ⋆ * .♡ *:･ﾟ. ݁ ˖ ࣪ .

Moon placement

this one is so important! 9/10 your spouse's moon will have similar qualities as the moon in your groom/briede pc or spouse might have placements in this sign

Most common case in my research: spouse’s moon is in the same element or modality as the moon in the Groom/Bride pc

Other example is a client of mine had Cancer moon in his Briede pc and his wife had Moon-Jupiter conjunction in her chart (jupiter expands moon’s qualities and is also exalted in cancer)

. ݁ ˖ ࣪ . ⋆ * .♡ *:･ﾟ. ݁ ˖ ࣪ . ⋆ * .♡ *:･ﾟ. ݁ ˖ ࣪ .

Part of Fortune/Vertex

I’ve seen these being a less literal indicative of actual placement but it does show prominent energies in spouse definitely, specially within the relationship

. ݁ ˖ ࣪ . ⋆ * .♡ *:･ﾟ. ݁ ˖ ࣪ . ⋆ * .♡ *:･ﾟ. ݁ ˖ ࣪ .

Dignities

pay attention to this one!!! I’ve seen it being SO accurate! I’ve noticed that if a planet (particularly inner planet) is in good or bad dignity in your groom/briede pc, your fs will likely have that planet in one of its signs of domicile, exaltation, fall or detriment. This also makes that particular planet significant in your person’s chart (meaning it might be dominant, on the angles, in joy houses, etc)

Mila Kunis has Scorpio Mars (mars’ domicile) in her Groom PC and Ashton Kutcher is a Cancer Mars (mars’ detriment)

She also has Sun in Aries (sun’s exaltation) in her groom pc chart and Ashton in an Aquarius Sun (sun’s debilitation)

The client I mentioned above also had Aries Sun in his briede pc and his wife had her Sun in the 9th house (sun’s joy)

Blake Lively has Taurus Moon (moon’s exaltation) in her Groom PC and Ryan is a Scorpio Moon (moon’s detriment)

Grace Kelly had Libra Venus (venus domicile) in her Groom pc and her husband was a Taurus Venus (venus domicile)

Angular houses

similar to the last point. The common consensus I’ve seen with this one is that if you have a certain planet in an angular house in the groom/briede pc, your spouse likely has that planet in an angular house too or that planet is significant in them

Degrees

planets at critical degrees in your groom/briede pc can be significant or manifest quite literally in your person’s chart
