It is the third largest asteroid as well as the third most massive one.
It is 512 kilometers in diameter.
Ceres,Vesta,and Pallas are the three largest asteroids.
It is the second asteroid to have been discovered.
Like Ceres,Vesta,and Juno, it was classed as a planet and then got downgraded.

Therefore, Pallas was almost exactly culminating at the moment of my birth.
It's an unquestionably prominent Pallas.
I always felt Ceres,Pallas,Juno,Vesta were important in Astrology since 20 years ago.
I was influenced by Demetra George and Douglas Bloch's book, Astrology For Yourself which had a lot on the four major asteroids and other asteroids.
I even got their Asteroid Goddess Report program, but I lost it
Here is what Demetra and Douglas put for Pallas in the report
Ceres, Pallas, Juno and Vesta
Among the thousands of asteroids known, Ceres, Pallas, Juno and Vesta have a special place. While these
are not necessarily the largest asteroids, they were the first to be discovered, and as such they have
imprinted themselves on human consciousness in a major way.
They also complete the female pantheon of goddesses, rounding out the system of symbols begun in the
usual ten planets. Of the six great goddesses of Olympus, only Aphrodite (Venus) and Artemis (the
Moon) are represented in the conventional astrological symbol system. The other four great goddesses of
Graeco-Roman mythology, Demeter (Ceres), Athene (Pallas), Hera (Juno) and Hestia (Vesta), were
missing from astrology until they were re-invoked by their discovery in the early 1800s.
The Mandala of the Asteroid Goddesses
Ceres, Pallas, Juno and Vesta represent four very basic feminine archetypes which amplify and particularize the more general energies of the Moon and Venus. Their relation to the regular planets and to each other becomes clear in a mandala.
The large circle in the mandala represents the Moon, the fundamental feminine principle that contains all the potential expressions of the feminine nature. Behind the Moon resides the Sun, the embodiment of the fundamental masculine principle. The union of the masculine and feminine, of the Sun God and Moon
Goddess, give rise to what mystics have described as Oneness.
In the center of the mandala is Venus. As the essence of the feminine nature in her activated form, Venus embodies the feminine creative, magnetic, sexual, reproductive, vital life force. Venus is surrounded by Ceres, Pallas, Juno and Vesta. Each of the four in its unique way uses the creative sexual energy of Venus to express the various functions and activities of the feminine principle as it operates in both women and men.
Note that these asteroids are placed at the four cardinal directions of the mandala. These correspond to the
four "angles" of the astrological chart: the Ascendant and Descendant to the left and right along the
horizon, and the MC (Medium Coeli or Midheaven) and IC (Imum Coeli or Lowest Heaven), at the top
and bottom of the vertical meridian line. The basic symbolism of these four great goddesses is as follows:
Ceres, the archetypal Mother and the Goddess of Agriculture, gives birth to the world of physical form, bearing children and providing food for their survival. As the Mother archetype, she stands for the principle of unconditional love and nurturing support in both women and men. In the above mandala, she is placed at the IC, the very bottom of the horoscope wheel, which in astrology is related to the foundation, the roots, and the family.
Pallas Athene, the daughter of Zeus, is the Goddess of Wisdom who generates mental and artistic creations from her mind. Sprung from the head of her father, she represents the principle of creative intelligence. Her place in the mandala is at the MC, the "head" of the chart, the uppermost point, which symbolizes one's ambitions and one's visible, socially useful accomplishments.
Juno, or Hera, was the wife of Zeus. As such, she is the Goddess of Marriage who fosters and sustains union with a partner. More generally, she symbolizes the principle of relatedness and commitment to another over time. In the mandala, she is placed at the Descendant, which in the horoscope wheel is the point that signifies reaching out from the Self to another in order to complete oneself in a one-to-one relationship.
Vesta, or Hestia, was Zeus's elder sister who never married. In mythology she became the protectress of the hearth and the sacred altar flame. The archetypal Temple Priestess, she is a virgin in the original sense of being whole and complete in oneself. In the system of goddess symbols, she represents the principle of spiritual focus and of devotion to following one's calling. Placed in the mandala at the Ascendant, Vesta corresponds to the Self.
These asteroids represent the primary relationships of a woman's life: that of mother, daughter, wife and sister. The fertile sexual energy of Venus is used by Ceres to birth children of the body, by Pallas to birth children of the mind, by Juno to build relationships with others, and by Vesta to deepen a relationship with the Self or with the Divine.
The Asteroid Goddesses in the Charts of Men
Just as the planets named after male gods pertain to the lives of women, these asteroids named for female
goddesses are also important in the lives of men. The recognition and honoring of one's contrasexual side
completes and strengthens the personality, embracing the unintegrated energies that are often sources of
trouble.
Ceres expands on the Moon's symbolism by further illuminating the relationship of a man to his mother
and also to women and other nurturing figures in his adult life. In addition, Ceres signifies a man's own
tender, caregiving side and the ways in which this part of his nature can find expression. Typical
manifestations of Ceres energies in a man are teaching and mentoring, pediatrics and pedagogy,
farming and gardening, cooking and nutrition, medicine and therapy, ecology and environmental
protection, and, of course, his part in helping his own children thrive and grow.
Pallas, for a man as well as a woman, can symbolize his capacity for strategy, his quest for clarity and
truth, his sense of justice, the acquisition of skill and ingenuity in useful arts, and the ability to channel
life energy for healing. Just as she can in women, Pallas can signify either a man's rejection of the
feminine within himself, or the drive to integrate the opposite sexual polarity into his psyche. The
placement of Pallas can also suggest how a man perceives the strong, independent women in his life.
This usually has to do with his sense of his own competence.
Juno can signify a man's style of dealing with marriage and other forms of partnership, including, in
some cases, business partnerships. Her placement determines how the struggle between the self and the
other plays out, and whether the partnerships a man enters into are likely to be equal or unequal. Juno
may also show the sort of wife a man is likely to pick, and his attitude toward married women in
general. This asteroid has to do with the man in his procreative role as husband and father, and, by
extension, in any joint venture for the production of a new entity. Just as she does for a woman, Juno
may also show how a man deals with the infidelity of a partner.
Vesta signifies a man's relationship to himself as a complete being, apart from relationships with others.
Her placement can suggest to a man how he can best become still, look within, and tend to Deity or his
inner spirit. Just as she does in women, Vesta can also signify a man's urge to conserve and preserve the
home, the state, the culture and its institutions.
The Asteroids as Developmental Stages
When you combine the above basic symbolism of the first four asteroids with the order in which they
were discovered, the four great goddess asteroids form yet another self-contained symbol system, one that
defines four stages of human, and most particularly feminine, lives:
Ceres, the first asteroid to be discovered, governs the first stage of life, when the person's primary focus
is the mother. This is the stage of the Child.
Pallas, the second to be discovered, suggests the time of life when the child starts looking toward the
father to be initiated into the rules of the world outside the home. This period starts when many girls
become tomboys and dream of their future careers. It continues into the period when young people are
out in the world studying or working or pursuing a career but are not yet parents. In a woman's life this
pre-reproductive stage is that of the Maiden.
Juno, the third asteroid to be discovered, was the archetypal wife on Olympus and was also a
protectress of childbirth. She suggests the one stage of a person's life that is commonly devoted to
marriage and reproduction. In a woman, this is the stage of the Matron.
Vesta, the last-discovered of the four, represents the final stage of life when a woman's focus
commonly turns away from child-bearing and child-rearing, and she turns toward cultivating herself as
a separate individual, apart from her family relationships. In women, this post-reproductive period is the
stage of the Crone. This supplements the pre-reproductive or self-contained Virgin symbolism already
mentioned in connection with Vesta.
Arranging the asteroids in this way gives further clues to their meaning. Naturally, however, a woman
may embody the symbolism of any of these asteroids at any time in her life.
These life stages pertain to a woman's life in particular, something that has until recently been largely
neglected. They of course have their analogies in the lives of men, but in a slightly modified form, since
reproduction does not tend to be so central to men's lives and many men can reproduce well into old age.
Like women, men typically have a Ceres stage in which their primary attachment is to their mother, a
Pallas stage where they are initiated by the father into the outside world, a Juno stage when they are
husbands and fathers working to sustain a family, and a Vesta stage when they are free to retire and
cultivate their inner lives.
