“Your Name” Asteroid Observations
Have you ever felt like your name was destined? Perhaps you have more than one or you’ve even changed it a few times. No matter the case, a name holds power and autonomy. It is likely that you came here with a purpose, and the souls which came before you helped influence this path through giving you a name at the start.
You can find out how your name has manifested by inputting “your name” asteroid into your natal chart. Pay attention to the placement and the aspects it makes. Perhaps you’ll even want to find out how others perceive you by inputting your name into their charts as well. Everything in this world is interconnected, although you may need to take a deeper look into it to see!
*Note: You may want to search for your name’s meaning before interpreting the asteroid. It will colour your perspective on how it shows up in your chart and plays out in your personality or identity!
Not all names will have an asteroid associated with it, so you may want to choose the “closest” option, which may be a variation (different spelling, same meaning) of your original name.
