Mountain Astrology is a bi-monthly magazine that features some of the most unusual articles on astrology that I’ve ever come across. In the newest edition – February/ March 2014 – there’s an article entitled A Tour of Personal-Named Asteroids by Alex Miller that is so full of jaw-dropping synchronicities that when I started reading the article, I though it had to be bogus.
In astrology the most common asteroids that are used are Chiron, Vesta, Pallas, Juno, and Ceres. Each one has a particular meaning based, in part, on mythology. But the author of this article uses something called personal-named asteroids, which I’d never heard of – and maybe I’m showing my ignorance here. The asteroid name data came from the Minor Planet Center.
The author states that of the estimated 1.9 million minor bodies in the solar system, a quarter of them have been registered, 108,000 have been numbered and their orbits computed, and more than 17,000 have been named. It used to be that asteroids were named for deities, as the first five I mentioned, with Greek or Roman mythic derivation. But as their numbers have increased dramatically since the 1800s, the deity/mythic tradition was dropped and now, asteroids are named by their discovers, with the approval of the International Astronomical Union.
So, here are the first jaw-dropping examples he gives:
“Bill Clinton has asteroid Monica opposed asteroid Hillary (with asteroids Lies and Lust also prominent). Arizona Representative Gabrielle Giffords was shot in the head when asteroids Gabriella and Gifford were in tight square to transiting Mars.
“Asteroids Osamu and George were together on the Ascendant of the chart for the first plane crash at World Trade Center 1 on 9/11, with asteroid Bush conjoining Uranus and forming a grand trine with the Moon and asteroid America.”
Even if you don’t know much about astrology, the name synchros here are astonishing. But when you add the astrological angle, they become even more so. In the example about Gabriella Giffords: a square is an aspect of friction and Mars is the planet that governs, among other things, aggression, war, violence.
In the 9-11 example: With asteroid Bush conjuncting Uranus, the planet of sudden, unexpected change, of events that shake us out of our ruts and routines (9-11 sure did that), we have the literal connection of the Bush presidency to 9-11. It happened under his watch. The fact that moon was trining asteroid America at the same moment is another literal connection. The moon symbolizes the masses, the public, and for days and weeks and months afterward, our collective attention was focused on the fallout of 9-11.
The author goes into a lot of astrological detail abut these events that I won’t include here, it’s too lengthy. The other examples he provides, though, are just as mind-boggling. Asteroids James, Holmes, and Aurora “formed eerily prominent patterns in the sky when James Holmes opened fire in an Aurora, Colorado movie theater, killing 12 and wounding 58.”
The author also gives two riveting personal examples dealing with his uncle and his mother that are equally astounding. The one about his mother is rather lengthy, so here’s the shorter story about his uncle, David Miller, who passed away on March 14, 2011. “On that date, asteroids Davida and Miller were exactly conjuncting transiting Pluto (representing death)… Yes, sometimes it’s really that stark!”
He calls these events “celestial nomenclature synchronicities.” In other words, name synchros.
Miller concludes his article in a way that underscores just how mind-blowing his discoveries were on a personal level. “How can it be that these points – which are casually, often cavalierly, named by total strangers with no astronomical knowledge or intent and not the slightest concept of their eventual application – will emphatically resonate with people and events for whom these names are meaningful? How can celestial bodies, discovered and named long after the births of those whose lives they will impact, be retroactively inserted into their horoscopes to define relationships? And how do these asteroids continue to operate, by transit, in unfolding events within which they are significant?
“Well, when I’ve figured that out, I’ll let you know…”

After reading this article, I started searching for asteroids named Rob, Trish, or Megan…
Also posted at UnknownCountry.com with link show at the bottom of this post:
When I first read this, I thought ‘Wow!’, but then I started wondering more about how the naming is done? One of my main questions: When were these objects named? My guess is that most were named after the events occurred, which makes sense for objects with names like ‘Hillary’ or ‘Monica’. I started searching for information, and found the rules for naming asteroids here:
https://www.planetary.org/get-involved/contests/osirisrex/guidelines.html
I would have to wonder if the synchronicities also tie into who is doing the naming and why they chose the name or names that they chose. I also feel that if you have a knowledge of astrology, you could, theoretically, back engineer the names to the events and positions of the asteroids. That in itself would be a daunting task, but not out of the realm of possibility.
At the link, be sure and read about the naming of the most recent asteroid, Bennu, and how a boy of nine came up with the name.
“The winning entry came from Mike Puzio, a nine-year-old from North Carolina. Mike argued that the Touch-and-Go Sample Mechanism (TAGSAM) arm and solar panels on OSIRIS-REx look like the neck and wings in drawings of Bennu, which Egyptians usually depicted as a gray heron. ”
There is no real synchronicity with this name, ‘Bennu’, because Mike obviously knows his Egyptian myths:
https://www.planetary.org/press-room/releases/2013/nine-year-old-names-as…
However, what I do find impressive is what ‘Bennu’ symbolized to the ancient Egyptians and the Greeks. Bennu was about re-birth and creation, and it even ties into The Phoenix.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bennu
All of the finalists for the naming of the new asteroid were children, ranging in age from 5 through 17 years of age, and were from all over the world. It moved me to see so many brilliant youngsters and their ideas for naming the asteroid, and why they chose the names they chose, as well as to what they “… want to see next in space”.

John Hogue speaks of “enormous” changes this year and into the next few years. I know that many of us already knew or sensed that without hearing the interview, but I feel it is important to point out that he saw any kind of future for this world, especially for mankind, based on the current state of our planet. There is a future, and the dinosaurs of current religious dogma, big business, government, economics, and world politics face extinction. We can only hope that the niche will be filled with the brilliance of minds with an understanding of the past, a great appreciation for the present, and the vision to create a bright future for generations to come. I am not speaking of an aerie-faery, unrealistic, utopian future, but one filled with courage, imagination, curiosity, and a sense of wonder that is embodied by the voices of the children with the seemingly mundane task of coming up with a name for an asteroid.

Hi Cosmic. This post is the original post. We sent it to Whitley and he put it up on his insight section. When asteroids are named was asked by other people, so I took Hillary and Monica and looked into it. Hillary was named in 1981 and Monica in 1916, well before the Clinton/Monica scandal.
This is fascinating info about kids naming asteroids! And thank you for the links.
Wow. Fascinating. Our universe never fails to amaze me.
That is amazing! With there being so many asteroids would it be possible to do predictions without it being computerised? Or would you have to search for named asteroids like, as in your example of, Rob, Trish, or Megan …
These studies have always been fascinating for me. In the Early 90’s, I was studying Uranian astrology. Uranian astrology uses asteroids as will as unseen,but named, reference points in space. One example I have never forgotten was Jim Morrison’s chart. It had allot of the song titles in his chart (i e ‘The Stranger”). I also used the 90 degree wheel to determine the birth of my 2nd daughter. Doctors put her birth in January. Her chart indicated November 23-24. She was born Nov. 23. I was ready and the Docs were not. Amazing stuff.
Amazing stuff, for sure. I remember your doing my uranian chart!
This is rather incredible and makes me wonder if there are future events that can be foretold using this system. I actually shivered when I read this post!
This is awesome. 😀
Someone asked when the asteroids Monica and Hillary had been discovered. Hillary: 1981. Monica: 1916.
Yeah, it’s incredibly eerie!
Yes that surely was a mind blowing article. I never heard of all those asteroids and the synchros – holy moly! Yes, please keep us informed. How do we find out the names and where they are? etc. etc.?
That link to the minor planet center is where the asteroid name data comes from. He did the ephemeris calculations here: http://www.serennu.com
