(1566) Icarus, self-regulated diet and physical training

(1566) Icarus is an apollo asteroid discovered in June of 1949. The orbit is between Sun-Mercury and the main belt. It has a perihelion of 0.19 AU and an aphelion of 1.97 AU. It has an inclination of 22.8º (semioctile, 20' orb). It has a diameter of about 1.4 km.


Greek mythology

Daedalus, builder of the labyrinth on the island Crete, provided Ariadne the keys to the labyrinth to help Theseus to exit the maze. After the death of the Minotaur, king Midas, very angry, locked Daedalus and his son in the labyrinth.

Departure from the island by sea and land were controlled, so Daedalus built up wings from feathers that he pasted into the body through wax. Both flew off, but before doing so, Daedalus warned Icarus not to fly too high, because the heat of the sun would melt the wax, neither too low, because the foam of the sea would wet wings and he would not be able to fly. (Wikipedia: Icarus)


(1566) Icarus combines the self-control of the Sun with the feed of the main belt. The result is the ability for self-regulation of the diet and the physical training, keeping the balance on high levels, but without overdoing in to any of the possible extremes. 

As part of its interest in a healthy lifestyle, (1566) Icarus adopts a buddhist attitude oppositing psychotropic medication and other psychoactive substances that alter consciousness, causing ups and downs in the chemistry of the brain.

In the manga-anime "Dragon Ball Z" (1989), during his travel to the planet Namec, Goku gets ready with a regulable machine that generates artificial gravity.

Artificial gravity machine set to 20 G

Akira Toriyama, author of the manga "Dragon Ball" and "Dragon Ball Z", has Icarus in Aquarius in the Crossing Point of the Age Progressions (Basis Horoscope / Moon Node Horoscope). The conjuction Sun-Typhon in Aries is in sextile with Icarus in Aquarius and in trine with the Great Attractor in Sagittarius.

(1221) Amor, feelings of discomfort

The discovery of the asteroid Amor in the year 1932, occurred at the algid moment in the history of racism of the twentieth century, as it was preceded by the discovery of the planet Pluto in the year 1930 (whose photografic captures prior to its discovery date back to the year 1914) and the perihelion passage of the object Salacia approximately in the year 1926 (although its first photographic captures would not occur until 1982, nor its discovery until 2004).

Thus, from a historical point of view, together with the ideological racism related with the planet Pluto and the social and institutional discrimination related with the object Salacia, at that epoch, the emotional and physiologial aspects related with the asteroid Amor must also be considered.

(1221) Amor is related with the emotional and physiological effect that causes the physical presence and closeness of another person.

"Spring Breakers" (2012)

Selena Gomez, actress of the movie "Spring Breakers" (2012), has Amor in Taurus (cusp of the 8th Moon-Node House) in conjunction with the star Alcyone and Mars; in sextile with the Sun in Cancer (cusp of the 6th Moon-Node House); in square with the Black Moon in Aquarius (cusp of the 11h Moon-Node House); and in square with the star Regulus in Leo (cusp of the 5th Moon-Node House).

Ishtar in Babilonic mythology, temporary relationships

Ishtar was related to the star of eight points. She was shown standing up and naked. As a love goddess, Ishtar was the protector of prostitutes and sexual relations outside of marriage. 

When she was young, she loved Tammuz, god of harvest. When Tammuz died, Ishtar descended to hell to pull up the power about life and death to her terrible sister Ereshkigal.

After giving instructions to her servant Papsukal, of going to rescue her if she does not came back, Ishtar descended to Irkalla, the subterranean world. She began brave and challenging, yelling to the porter to opend the door before she overthrow it. But, with everyone of the seven doors, she was shed of one article of clothing, and with it, part of her power, until she arrived completely naked and defenceless in the presence of Ereshkigal, who killed her and hung up her body on a nail.

Papsukal asked gods to create a living creature that was able to enter in the world of the deads and revive Ishtar with the food and water of life. That is how Ishtar came back to life, but she had to pay the price: during six months a year, Tammuz had to live in the word of the deads. While he was there, Ishtar suffered the loss

1P/Halley, simple but ingenious video games

1P/Halley is a comet discovered in December of 1758 and reobserved in the years 1835, 1909, 1982, 1986 and 1994. It has a perihelion of 0.59 AU and an aphelion of 35.1 AU (Mercury/Venus-Kuiper belt combination). The first known observation goes back to -239.

Orbital resonance:
  • 9:8 with Uranus (99.9%)
  • 11:5 with Neptune (99.7%)
  • 1:14 with Interamnia (99.8%)

The comet 1P/Halley is related with the sensorial experience of playing a video game, were the graphics, the sound and the music, becomes an interactive experience through the control by the game pad (Mercury/Venus-35 AU).

"Flower" (PS3, 2009)

The last appearance of the comet 1P/Halley, which reached its perihelion in February of 1986, clashed with the golden age of arcade video games (1982-1986), with "Pac-Man" (1980) as the most successful video game. (Wikipedia: History of video games)

In previous appearances of the comet (1909, 1835 and 1758), the video game interactive experience of 1P/Halley was reduced to simple playing a musical instrument. During the actual generation of video game consoles (2006-2013), the experience of 1P/Halley was expanded with the communication on line with other players by the headset.

(37117) Narcissus, overcome the obstacles and self-limitations that impede nourish

(37117) Narcissus is an asteroid of the main belt discovered in November of 2000. It has a perihelion of 3.1 AU and an aphelion of 10.7 AU (Saturn-crosser asteroid). It has a diameter of about 11 km. There is a prediscovery image back to March of 1984. There is an important astronomical observation in February of 2002.


Greek mythology

In Greek mythology, the nymph Eco covered up unfaithfulness of Zeus to Hera, entertaining her with significant conversation, while Zeus had fun with his lovers, until Hera punished her obstructing her speak: she only could repeat the last word pronounced by her speaker.

Later, Eco fell in love with Narcissus, but because she could not speak, she could not show her love. Until the day that he was walking in the woods and he separated from his compains for a moment. When he asked: «Is someone here?», Eco answered: «Here, here». He was incapable of saw her hidden by the trees, Narcissus yelled: «¡Come!». After answering: «Come», Eco comed out of the trees with opened arms, but Narcissus refused her love in a cruelty way. Eco, ruined, hided in a cave and stopped eating, reducing herself until only her voice was left.



Eco was not the first, Narcissus already turned down many other women. So he knew unreturned love, Nemesis (goddess of revenge) made him fell in love with his own reflection in a pool and died as a result. The clairvoyant Tiresias foretelled on the day of his birth that he will live long, if he avoid watching him self. 

The orbit of (37117) Narcissus unite the main asteroids belt (nutrition) with Saturn (creation of structures and establishment of limits). However, the orbit of (37117) Narcissus cross over the orbit of Saturn, going a bit into the Uranus influence (fragmentizer of structures).

The main theme of (37117) Narcissus is to overcome the obstacles and self-limitations that impede nourish, no matter if that is in the physical level (feed), in the emotional level (fond), in the mental level (culture) or in the level of the soul (intuition).


Anorexia (physical level)
 

Anorexia is a disease that can commence in five different ways: (1) the person distort the notion that has about herself, influenced by social stereotypes, beginning unhealthy diets; (2) resignation to feed by oneself determination, as a protestation; (3) carries forward a physical training without an appropriated diet; (4) has to deal with extreme work (or class) timetables; or (5) has to live on the breadline of nourishment. In any case, the person does not feed enough.

Like people that take drugs or healthy people that take psychotropic medication by his own determination [self-medication, without medical recommendation], because of brain plasticity, the brain modify its internal structure to adapt and face excess or deficiency of neurotransmitters. From that moment, the problem, initially a problem because the situation, a physical or psychological problem, becomes a psychiatric problem, based in the disequilibrium of neurotransmitters of satiate or hunger.

The sensation of hunger is reduced eventually; at the same time, because of stop eating, the person feels more and more weak, that result in less will to live or to go for help. Because several factors join together in the same direction, the disease evolve very fast and in extreme cases cause death.

The main characteristic of the people that recover from a serious anorexia is less vivacity in the voice and the main trouble that they have to face is the effort eating, because in most cases they have to do it without hunger. Like people that take drugs or healthy people that take
psychotropic medication by his own determination [self-medication, without medical recommendation] for many years, the brain plasticity allow to recover back the equilibrium of the initial internal structure to some extent, however, it is not a fully reversible process, since with each modification occurs neuronal death.


The culture of New Age (mental and soul level)
 

During the prediscovery of (37117) Narcissus, appeared several books that described very well the sceptic people that are unable to benefit from the New Age culture. For example, in the book "World of the Paranormal: The Next Frontier" (Le Shan, 1984), the author argue this way:

«We can see the problem clearly when think about the colleagues of Galileo who refused to look through the telescope. They refused because it was unnecessary to look; they had confused their theory with the facts. As far as they were concerned, they knew the facts and there was simply no point in observing a contradictory fact; the telescope's view was necessarily false because it contradicted known facts. At this distance we can see their reasoning and their confusion clearly. It is, however, harder to see when the modern scientist, not looking at the facts of parapsychology, simply dismisses them as necessarily false and therefore unnecessary to examine, since --for him-- they contradict a known fact.» (Le Shan, 1984)

Another example it is in the introduction of the book "Every Day Tarot: A Choice Centred Book" (Gail Fairfield, 1984), where the author argue this way:

"Everyone has psychic capability, just as everyone can potentially float in the water. People who have been taught to be afraid of the water, who believe that the water can hurt them, may never choose to learn to float. Similarly, those who have been taught to distrust, discount, or fear psychic processes, may find it difficult to openly accept and explore them. By working through those fears, people can reshape their beliefs and embrace their own psychic potential. [...] If you really believe that you are not lovable, no one can prove to you that you are. [...] No matter what loving things people say or do, you'll discount them. You'll tell yourself that they can't possibly know what they're talking about and that their judgement can't be trusted. You continue to reinforce the belief that you're not lovable. [...] If you believe that you're not psychic, the same process holds true. No matter what happens, you'll dismiss it as coincidence, happenstance, or a trick. If you believe that you can't be psychic, you won't be psychic." (Gail Fairfield, 1984)
