A friend of mine was just talking about changing her name to Cassandra. A friend of hers mentioned the asteroid.
I have it at 5*Scorpio, conjunct my ascendant (by just over two degrees). I thought we already had a thread about this, but I searched and didn't find one.

anela Why is she thinking of changing her name, if you don't mind me asking? Is she not happy with some aspects of her life and thinks this name may benefit her or is just because she likes it? I believe changing your name can influence your destiny/personality. I also have Kassandra conjunct my Asc (and Venus), but in Virgo. "Cassandra or Kassandra (Ancient Greek: Κασσάνδρα, pronounced [kassándra], also Κασάνδρα), (sometimes referred to as Alexandra),[1] was a priestess of Apollo in Greek mythology cursed to utter true prophecies, but never to be believed. In modern usage her name is employed as a rhetorical device to indicate someone whose accurate prophecies are not believed. Cassandra was reputed to be a daughter of King Priam and Queen Hecuba of Troy. Her older brother was Hector, hero of the Greco-Trojan war. The older and most common versions state that she was admired by the god Apollo, who sought to win her with the gift to see the future. According to Aeschylus, she promised him her favors, but after receiving the gift, she went back on her word and refused the god. The enraged Apollo could not revoke a divine power, so he added to it the curse that though she would see the future, nobody would believe her prophecies. In other sources, such as Hyginus and Pseudo-Apollodorus, Cassandra broke no promise; the powers were given to her as an enticement. When these failed to make her love him, Apollo cursed Cassandra to always be disbelieved, in spite of the truth of her words. Some later versions have her falling asleep in a temple, where the snakes licked (or whispered in) her ears so that she could hear the future."

She talked about telling people how they could fix certain things with a diet change, and they dismiss her, then hire a nutritionist months later, who gives them the same advice, and it works. Things like that. There are times when I'm oblivious, but when I'm sure of something, I usually feel it. I'll get a punch to the solar plexus (feels that way), or a mass of anxiety there, and just have some kind of emotional reaction, or instinctively know. I think this can happen to everyone, but if the asteroid means anything, I wonder if that's why it's my main way of experiencing it. |

anelaWhatever conjuncts the ASC ist very prominent. So could BE the Reason. For those Feelings in the Solar Plexus i would also Check Soma (2815), i know there ist a different Interpretation for IT, too, but to me IT relates to soma-tic experience, where you feel Something energeticalky- tangibly inside.
