"One Day"(2011)

(511) Davida was named in honor of David Peck Todd, notable astronomer who produced a complete set of photographs of the 1882 astronomical transit of Venus (Sun-Venus conjunction with the Venusian Node).


The discovery of (511) Davida clashed with the emergence of the color in the portrait photography.


Unlike Neptune, which has interest in the divine part of another person (his/her Soul), (511) Davida feels fascination and admiration toward the personality: his/her physical body and his/her emotional and mental nature.

"The champion of the Tour does not fall off. True or false?"  

"A review of the last editions of the Tour favors the conclusion that the final winner will be a man who will come out unscathed from all accidents that occur. Induráin did not know a single stumble in the five editions that was awarded. No fall, no cut -except in one of the first stages of the year 1991- They said that Indurain always went ahead, that his level of concentration was so high that he could resist that pressure.

[...] Some specialists in sports psychology came to the conclusion that the sportsman's subconscious may be behind some injuries or accidents. The fear to win, the pressure of competition, torments the sportsman in such a way that the subconscious manages to fix the problem: an apparently fortuitous injury, an accident... a fall. That theory would explain that only the strongest come out unscathed to pressure, as if it were a previous natural selection.

[...] The champion of the Tour does not fall off. True or false? Any conjecture will have to wait until 27th of July [1997], when a cyclist raises his arms on the podium in Paris. He will have been the strongest physically and mentally, but so strong as to have been sure of escaping unharmed from any adversity? We will examine if he has scratches on his body and we will review what he had done throughout the race. And if he has arrived to Paris without any scratch, we will have the same answer: "He has had the luck of the champion". (El país.com, 10 julio 1997, [text in Spanish] http://elpais.com/diario/1997/07/10/deportes/868485604_850215.html)

"Rush" (2013)

(316720) 1998 BE7 is related with trials and challenges that are almost impossible. To overcome them it is essential to have a lot of luck, like in elite sports competitions, or in the travels of illegal immigrants through the desert of Africa to reach Europe.

(
316720) 1998 BE7 combines the Mars ability to fight and the will to achieve aims, with the faith and positive expectations of Jupiter. For the self-organization of elements to be in favor, the unconscious parapsychological activity has to work in the same direction as the conscious will; something that can only be achieved if the will purpose is very deep and there is no doubt (11:5 resonance with Jupiter).

17:7 with Cybele (99.8%)
 


Greek mythology

Sisyphus was founder and king of Éfira. He used all kind of clever tricks to find ways to avoid death:

When Tánatos came to find him, Sisyphus put him shackles, so that nobody died until Ares released him and delivered to Sisyphus to Hades. However, before dying, he told his wife that when he left did not offer the usual sacrifice to the dead. So, once in the underground world, complained that his wife was not complying with her duties, and convinced to Hades to allow him to return to the upper world to punish her. But when he was again in Éfira, he refused to return to underground world and lived several years more, until it was forced to return by Hermes.

There his famous punishment was imposed, which was to push a huge rock up to the top of a mountain, but when it was just about to arrive, the rock always rolled down and Sisyphus should repeat the process, starting from the beginning, again and again.

In the "Choose Your Own Adventure" collection books (1979), at the end of the story you can go back to the point of bifurcation, and choose a different path, like in the movies "Groundhog Day" (1993), "The Butterfly Effect" (2004), "50 First Dates" (2004), "Source Code" (2011), "Edge of Tomorrow" (2014) and in the video game "The Walking Dead" (PS3, 2012).


(1866) Sisyphus is related with the exploration of other possibilities, other that the expected or what has already been lived, like in the movies "Family Man" (2001), "Back to the future" (1985) and the video game "Prince of Persia - Warrior Within" (PS2, 2004).

Greek mythology

Zeus transformed himself into a tame white bull and mixed in with her father's herds. While Europa and her helpers were gathering flowers, she saw the bull, caressed his flanks, and eventually got onto his back. Zeus took that opportunity and ran to the sea and swam, with her on his back, to the island of Crete. He then revealed his true identity, and Europa became the first queen of Crete.

Zeus gave her a necklace made by Hephaestus and three additional gifts: Talos, Laelaps and a javelin that never missed.


(52) Europe is related with the ability to divide attention between two simple tasks that are carried out more or less simultaneously, such as for example talking with another person during the meal, while walking or driving; or listening to the radio while working.

But Phaethon was too impatient to hear nothing. The young man left with the carriage and right away the horses rampaged in the direction of the Earth, with Phaethon unable to straighten out the car.
 

Before the Earth catched fire, the gods acted quickly strucking at Phaethon, whose body fall engulfed in flames. And they cooled the heat coming off the chariot by a heavy downpour. This was how the Nubian desert, which had been a fertile region, was scorched by the rays of the Sun.


(3200) Phaeton is related to activities that restore the physiological balance of the body after moments of exceptional circumstances, such as intense or prolonged physical exercise, or many hours without eating, drinking or sleeping.
