Focus On index - The Evening Star Café

Welcome to my Focus On project, an attempt to gather various data and referenced interpretations on (at least some of) the minor planets in one convenient place.

Astrology is a thoroughly information-rich field, spanning a dizzying number of different techniques, mythologies, systems and cultures. As with other studies, the deeper you explore, the more you realise how little you actually know. Producing interpretations that are inclusive of all varieties of data would be practically impossible. We are all compelled to specialise to some extent. The beauty of this necessity is that, together, we can provide a more complete picture of the whole.

I’ve been studying the minor planets for some time now, to the extent that it’s become – if not a specialism in terms of expertise – then a line of study on which I’ve gradually concentrated increasingly, in hopes of sifting from the reams of information some methods for streamlining interpretation. It may well be a lifelong project. I’m up for that.

How to read the Focus On material

These posts are designed to support and augment other astrological interpretations, rather than operating independently. In describing the objects, I will draw largely on the information I’ve gathered, whether that’s data on the discovery degree, the Sabian symbol of that degree, mythology, nodal signs at discovery, resonances with major planets, interpretations by other astrologers, or something else.

I’ve organised the index by MPC number. Posts can also be searched using the subcategories and tags, which include for each the discovery sign, north node sign and any planets included in the resonances list.

In addition, you can check out several minor planet resource sites on my Links of interest page. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
