The Asteroids Report + 1000 Asteroids 1 | Page The Asteroids Report + 1000 Asteroids 2 | Page The Asteroids Report + 1000 Asteroids The Asteroids Report for Frida Kahlo July 6, 1907 8:30 AM Coyoacan, Mexico AstroFix | The Blog of an Astrology Addict astrofix.net [email protected] Introduction to the Asteroids Report Asteroids orbit around the Sun just as planets do, but they are generally smaller than planets, and some of their physical characteristics and orbital characteristics are different from those of planets. Some objects are classified as being dwarf planets, and these objects are more similar to planets than most asteroids but do not fully have the characteristics that are typical of a planet. Pluto was once regarded officially as a planet but has been reclassified as a dward planet, and the asteroid Ceres is now widely regarded as a dwarf planet. Of the hundreds of thousands of asteroids that orbit around our Sun, over 1,000 of them have been given names that are related to myths, legends, literary or historical figures of interest, or places. Some astrologers believe that asteroids have a significance and relevance to human life just as the planets do, and that the astrological significance of the asteroid is often related in some way to the name of the asteroid. In this report 1,425 asteroids are analyzed to see if they are conjunct in zodiac longitude the Sun, Moon, or planets in the birth chart within a 1 degree orb. If the conjunction occurs, information about the asteroid is provided. 3 | Page The Asteroids Report + 1000 Asteroids Those astrologers who include hundreds of asteroids in their interpretations believe that the asteroids often related to very specific events in your life. The names of close family and friends and situations that you encounter in life often reflect the nature of the asteroids that are conjunct planets in your chart. You may not be extremely passionate about the subject area related to the asteroid but somehow, as if by fate, you are drawn into situations and circumstances that bring the qualities of the asteroid into your life. By reading your Asteroids Report you can see for yourself if the asteroids conjunct the Sun, Moon, and planets in your birth chart, provide keys to many of the situations that you encounter in your life. Listed below are the planet positions: Sun 13 Can 23 True Node 23 Can 25 Moon 29 Tau 43 Asc. 23 Leo 31 Mercury 6 Leo 20 MC 23 Tau 20 Venus 24 Gem 20 Mars 13 Cap 24 Jupiter 20 Can 26 Saturn 27 Pis 27 Uranus 10 Cap 37 Neptune 12 Can 24 Pluto 23 Gem 45 Tropical Placidus Local Mean Time observed GMT: 15:06:40 Time Zone: 0 hours West Lat. and Long. of birth: 19 N 20 99 W 10 The Sun Your Basic Personality: Your Style and the Way You Do Things Sun Conjunct Anaxagoras, Orb: 1 deg. 04 min. 4 | Page The Asteroids Report + 1000 Asteroids Anaxagoras, whose name means "Lord of the Assembly", was a Pre-Socratic Greek philosopher. He introduced the philosophical concept of nous, meaning "mind" or "intellect". Anaxagoras perceived nous as the ordering force of the Universe, which created the cosmos out of primordial chaos. This asteroid may connote mental fortitude and the capacity for abstract or philosophical thought. Sun Conjunct Antiope, Orb: 0 deg. 43 min. In Greek mythology, the name Antiope refers to two different women. It is unclear which of them this asteroid was intended to be named for. One Antiope was an Amazon warrior. She was distinguished by being the only Amazon to marry a man. She married Theseus, the legendary founder-king of Athens. The other Antiope was the mother by Zeus of Amphion and Zethus. These semi- divine twins played an essential role in the foundation of the city of Thebes. They built the walls around the Theban citadel. Amphion was a musician taught by the god Hermes. He moved the stones of the wall into place by luring them with music. Zethus built his part of the wall in a more conventional manner. He was a strong hunter and herdsman unopposed to manual labor. Both Antiopes were closely associated with characters involved in the founding of city-states. This asteroid may confer intimate relationships with people who initiate lasting traditions or begin great undertakings. It may also give marital harmony (owing to the legend of the former Antiope). Sun Conjunct Anubis, Orb: 2 deg. 12 min. In ancient Egyptian mythology, Anubis (Inpu) was the jackal-headed god of Death and the Underworld. The first record of his worship is found in the Old Kingdom Pyramid Texts, where he is associated with the burial of the king. Anubis was perceived as intimately involved with the processes of embalming and mummification. He is shown in the Books of the Dead performing the Opening of the Mouth ceremony which frees a persons spirit from their body. He also acted as a 5 | Page The Asteroids Report + 1000 Asteroids guide for the spirit of the deceased upon entering the afterlife, gently guiding them into the realm of Osiris. In this psychopompic role, Anubis was known as "Guardian of the Veil". Jackals were long allied in ancient Egypt with death, as these scavengers frequently haunted graveyards and were known to unearth and consume dead bodies. This asteroid may bestow the ability to help people undergo dramatic transformations. The role of counselor or guide may be assumed. The subjects of death and dying may also play an important role in ones life. Sun Conjunct Asplinda, Orb: 1 deg. 10 min. This asteroid was named in honor of Swedish astronomer Bror Ansgar Asplind. It may grant an interest in the study of the stars. Personal significance may also be ascribed to Scandinavia. Sun Conjunct Brangane, Orb: 1 deg. 02 min. In Richard Wagner's opera Tristan and Isolde, Brangane is Isolde's handmaid. She plays a central role in the drama by substituting a love potion for poison, causing Tristan and Isolde to fall in love. This asteroid may give an inclination to serve others. Romantic and tragic themes may infuse life You may play the role of matchmaker. Sun Conjunct Buda, Orb: 0 deg. 03 min. Buda is the western half of the Hungarian capital of Budapest. Buda lies on the west bank of the Danube river. It was named for Bleda (390-445 CE), a Hun ruler. Under the Roman Empire Buda was known as Aquincum. It was the capital of Hungary from 1361 to 1541 CE, and became the capital again in 1784. In 1873 Buda merged with its easterly neighbor Pest to form Budapest. It is known for its magnificent architectural monuments, such as the Citadella and Buda Castle. This asteroid may ascribe personal significance to the city of Budapest, or to the nation of Hungary, its history and its culture. 6 | Page The Asteroids Report + 1000 Asteroids Sun Conjunct Casanova, Orb: 0 deg. 45 min. Giacomo Casanova (1725-1798) was an 18th Century Venetian writer and adventurer. He kept the company of kings and popes, as well as such lofty figures as Mozart, Goethe and Voltaire. Casanova is most famous for his autobiographical memoir, The Story of My Life, which he wrote to stave off boredom while working as a librarian for Count Waldstein of Bohemia. This work is lauded today as one of the most authentic sources on European social life during that time period. Sometimes known as "the world's greatest lover", Casanova lived a life of great promiscuity. His name came to be synonymous with seduction. This asteroid may bequeath a social, adventurous, inquisitive and amorous nature. There may also be a love of writing and a tendency to record one's exploits. Sun Conjunct Chaldaea, Orb: 0 deg. 41 min. Chaldaea was a kingdom in ancient Mesopotamia. It became a Babylonian colony early in the rule of Hammurabi. The 11th Dynasty of Babylonian Kings was of comprised rulers from this tribe, and thus known as the Chaldean Dynasty. The Chaldean Dynasty lasted until the beginning of the Achaemenid Persian Empire around 550 BCE. Under Persian rule, the name Chaldean became disassociated from the tribal ethnic group to which it once referred and instead became allied with a social class of literate people. These "Chaldeans" were skilled in the magical as well as the scribal arts. Their knowledge of divination led the ancient Greeks to adopt the word Chaldean as a synonym for astrologer. This asteroid may grant personal importance to the early Mesopotamian civilizations as well as to present day Iraq. Interests in knowledge, literature, esotericism and astrology may develop. Sun Conjunct Cloelia, Orb: 2 deg. 03 min. In the mythic history of early Rome an Etruscan king named Lars Porsenna waged war against the city. Porsenna took many young Roman women hostage. One of them, named Cloelia, escaped and swam across the Tiber river to freedom. She also helped many other hostages escape captivity. 7 | Page The Asteroids Report + 1000 Asteroids She was subsequently honored for her bravery. This asteroid may bestow the ability to emancipate oneself and others. A strong, courageous and independent character may develop in response to hardship. Sun Conjunct Drakonia, Orb: 2 deg. 14 min. This asteroid was named for Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, USA. Drake University was the alma mater of American astronomer Seth Barnes Nicholson. The word drake is an archaic term for dragon, both words being derived from the Latin draco. Dragons are reptilian creatures of European and Asian myth. European dragons were often described as winged, cave dwelling beasts able to breathe fire.

    Deconstructing the western worldview: toward the repatriation and indigenization of wellness Item Type Thesis Authors Rahm, Jacqueline Marie Download date 23/09/2021 13:22:54 Link to Item http://hdl.handle.net/11122/4821 DECONSTRUCTING THE WESTERN WORLDVIEW: TOWARD THE REPATRIATION AND INDIGENIZATION OF WELLNESS A THESIS Presented to the Faculty of the University of Alaska Fairbanks in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By Jacqueline Marie Rahm, B.A., M.A. Fairbanks, Alaska December 2014 Abstract As Indigenous peoples and scholars advance Native histories, cultures, and languages, there is a critical need to support these efforts by deconstructing the western worldview in a concerted effort to learn from indigenous knowledge and ways of knowing for humanity’s future wellbeing. Toward that imperative, this research brings together and examines pieces of the western story as they intersect with Indigenous peoples of the lands that now comprise the United States of America. Through indigenous frameworks and methodologies, it explores a forgotten epistemology of the pre-Socratic and Pythagorean Archaic and Classical Greek eras that is far more similar to indigenous worldviews than it is to the western paradigm today. It traces how the West left behind this timeless wisdom for the “new learning” and the European colonial settlers arrived in the old “New World” with a fragmented, materialistic, and dualistic worldview that was the antithesis to those of Indigenous peoples. An imbalanced and privileged worldview not only justified an unacknowledged genocide in world history, it is characteristic of a psycho-spiritual disease that plays out across our global society.

    The Spiritual Tradition at the Roots of Western Civilization Excerpts from In the Dark Places of Wisdom and Reality by Peter Kingsley1 1 A compilation by Ulrich Mohrhoff In The Dark Places of Wisdom 255 pages The Golden Sufi Center (1999) Paperback ISBN 189035001X Reality 600 pages The Golden Sufi Center (2003) Softcover ISBN 1-890350-09-5 Hardcover ISBN 1-890350-08-7 1 Prologue We are human beings, endowed with an incredible dignity; but there’s nothing more un- dignified than forgetting our greatness and clutching at straws. (DPW 4) So many of us today are concerned about the extinction of all the species that the west- ern world is wiping out. But there’s hardly anyone who notices the most extraordinary threat of all: the extinction of our knowledge of what we are. (DPW 9) Perhaps the simplest way of describing the situation would be to say that, two and a half thousand years ago in the West, we were given a gift — and in our childishness we threw away the instructions for how to use it. We felt we knew what we were playing with. And, as a result, western civilization may soon be nothing but an experiment that failed. (R 20–21) 1 Published with permission.

    Department of World Cultures University of Helsinki Helsinki Macedonian Kings, Egyptian Pharaohs The Ptolemaic Family in the Encomiastic Poems of Callimachus Iiro Laukola ACADEMIC DISSERTATION To be publicly discussed, by due permission of the Faculty of Arts at the University of Helsinki in auditorium XV, University Main Building, on the 23rd of September, 2016 at 12 o’clock. Helsinki 2016 © Iiro Laukola 2016 ISBN 978-951-51-2383-1 (paperback.) ISBN 978-951-51-2384-8 (PDF) Unigrafia Helsinki 2016 Abstract The interaction between Greek and Egyptian cultural concepts has been an intense yet controversial topic in studies about Ptolemaic Egypt. The present study partakes in this discussion with an analysis of the encomiastic poems of Callimachus of Cyrene (c. 305 – c. 240 BC). The success of the Ptolemaic Dynasty is crystallized in the juxtaposing of the different roles of a Greek ǴdzȅǻǽǷȏȄ and of an Egyptian Pharaoh, and this study gives a glimpse of this political and ideological endeavour through the poetry of Callimachus. The contribution of the present work is to situate Callimachus in the core of the Ptolemaic court. Callimachus was a proponent of the Ptolemaic rule. By reappraising the traditional Greek beliefs, he examined the bicultural rule of the Ptolemies in his encomiastic poems. This work critically examines six Callimachean hymns, namely to Zeus, to Apollo, to Artemis, to Delos, to Athena and to Demeter together with the Victory of Berenice, the Lock of Berenice and the Ektheosis of Arsinoe. Characterized by ambiguous imagery, the hymns inspect the ruptures in Greek thought during the Hellenistic age.

    THREE CAMPAIGNS OF SOLAR OBSERVATIONS WITH AN ASTROLABE AT SIMEIZ YU. B. KOLESNIK Institute for Astronomy of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 109017,48 Piatnitskaya St,Moscow, Russia Positional observations of the Sun have become, in recent years, one of the most important contribution of astrolabes to fundamental astrometry. After pioneer observations at CERGA and Sao Paulo, both in 1974, other astrolabes have been adapted for observations of the Sun in Paris (now at Malatya, Turkey), Santiago de Chile (Chollet & Noël 1993) and San- Fernando (Sanchez et al. 1993,1995). First experimental campaign of solar observations with an astrolabe installed at Simeiz Observatory (Crimea, Ukraine) has been undertaken in 1986 (Kolesnik 1987). After some instru- mental improvements, observations covering about 2.5-3 months were con- tinued in 1987, 1990, 1991. The results are reported here. Classical Danjon astrolabe OPL-23 equipped with an equilateral 60° transparent glass prism has been adapted for observations of the Sun. An attenuating 20 mm thick chrome coated quartz filter was mounted at the capote of the astrolabe. The angle of the equilateral prism was monitored by autocollimation with an uncertainty of about 0.06". The classical technique of observations and reduction first developed in CERGA (Chollet & Laclare 1977) has been applied. Corrections to adopted mean longitude and latitude of an astrolabe linking observations of the Sun to a reference catalogue were derived from night-time observations of stars. Actually, all reductions have been performed in the IAU 1976,1980 system of constants with the FK5 as a reference catalogue and DE200 as an ephemeris of comparison.

It’s inherently pleasurable to trace so much of what we think and do today to their roots in ancient Greece and Rome, to make sense of their world and our own world through their world and of both worlds through their interrelationships with each other. That is, I believe, what is most special about the study of antiquity: we find, if we look closely, so many firsts in western culture: the first epic and lyric poems, the first plays, the first theaters, the first histories, even the first cinema (huh?). And through the literature of ancient Greece and Rome we encounter the first expression of certain ideas like community, democracy, and imperialism and of certain emotions like courage, curiosity, and love. If tracing things back to their roots, their origins in the past, excites you, you are in the right place, because that is what I am primarily interested in: getting back to the roots. There is more.
  • The Warped Ways of Cosmic Light

    The Warped Ways of Cosmic Light

    BIOLOGIE & MEDIZIN_Infektionsbiologie “Around that area there are indeed numerous small nebulous patches so close together that, upon seeing the region, one is positively startled by the strange appearance of this ‘nebula cluster’.” This was the sentiment expressed by Heidelberg-based astronomer Max Wolf in 1901 about the galaxy cluster in the constellation Coma Berenices. The cluster Abell 2218 presents a similar appearance to the viewer today on this image from the Hubble Space Telescope. The “strange appearance” – the many blue and orange arcs – owes, in this case, to the effect of a gravitational lens. PHYSICS & ASTRONOMY_Gravitational Lenses The Warped Ways of Cosmic Light Albert Einstein predicted them, modern giant telescopes detected them – and Klaus Dolag simulates them on a computer: gravitational lenses. The academic staff member at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics in Garching and at the University Observatory Munich uses this physical phenomenon to such ends as weighing galaxy clusters and probing that ominous substance known as dark matter.
