asteroid Anand(a) (23323)

[lumina]

I just started to watch a video by David Cochrane 


And I haven`t even got past the first minute, but during the preliminary thoughts, the mentioning of "Ananda (bliss and love) caught my attention, so I wondered: Wouldn`t it be cool if there was an asteroid?

So I googled it and then I stumbled across this here: 


galacticmystic.com/blogs/news/the-asteroid-anand-and-the-magnetic-pull-of-fate
keywords: "KEYWORDS and THEMES: fate vs free will, passion, love and devotion, the need for freedom and boundaries in relationship, karma, destined partnerships, time travel and timeline jumping in order to meet destined choice points, Sirius, divine feminine, Sirius starseeds, magnetic pull between souls, relationship as a spiritual path, spiritual enlightenment triggered by relationship."


I haven`t even looked it up in any charts (not even in my own), and well wouldn`t it be ironical, if it were dumped in some dumb house without any real aspects to my chart, like something in the late part of Taurus, just to show me that something like this will not be part of my path? LOL

Though interestingly enough just last week I was musing about that feeling of "timetravel/timelinejumping/interdimensional travel", the usual stuff for my Neptune-on-ASC mind. lol

[lumina]

BTW I was almost right about the eventlessness of ANAND in my chart. Dumped into the 9th house, on 28 Virgo, though it is conjunct my draconic DESC, 

well transiting ANAND is on 7°46 Taurus

conjunct my

asteroid ACTOR 7°31 Taurus
Eros/Psyche-mp 7°31 Taurus
part of marriage 7°54 Taurus

lol, not so much

lumina , we included Anand to the Vedic asteroids list shown in the sticky in Asteroids. It was a late addition, however. It is a Sanskrit word which can denote spiritual bliss or simply well-being and happiness. Some people respond to someone asking how they are doing, by saying that they are in Ananda, i.e., all is well.

I have it nestling amongst a bunch of Vedic asteroids in Cap in the 5th house:

Ramachandran 21.14
Soma 21.32
Anand 22.15
Mahakala 22°21
Euphemia 23.22
Mahalingam 23.57

For it to be conjunct Soma makes perfect sense. I also have Anand conjunct an important star, Sulaphat (at 22.55), of the Lyran constellation. According to Taineberry (in Starseeds Reference), "Prominent alignments with the Lyran Ring Nebula can also indicate involvement with the music of the spheres - the use of natural astronomically and resonant harmonics for healing, illumination, and for greater evolutionary purpose."

This might explain why I  find music very uplifting and use it for meditation.
