Geographical place

Interamnia ('between two rivers') is the Latin name of Teramo, an Italian city in the Abruzzo region. 

The discovery of (704) Interamnia clashed with the Gestalt psychology, a school of thought of modern psychology that appeared in Germany at the beginning of the century 20. The term 'gestalt' can be translated as "form", "figure", "configuring", "structure" or "creation".

Through internal schemas, the brain simplifies perceptual information and evocation of memories. The Gestalt psychology described some of these principles:

  • Law of Good Gestalt, that predisposes to adopt the simplest possible shapes, such as circles, squares, triangles, lines...
  • Law of Similarity, that predisposes to group similar items, depending on its size, shape, color...
  • Law of Proximity, that predisposes to consider adjacent components or very close to each other as an unit.
  • Law of Simetry, that predisposes to consider them as an unit.
  • Law of Continuity, that predisposes to consider the details that follow a pattern or direction as continuous lines.
  • Law of Common Fate, that predisposes to consider a group of elements that follow the same direction as an unique figure.
  • Law of equivalence, that predisposes to consider similar elements as part of a group.
  • Law of figure-ground relation, which prevents to interpret an object as background and figure at the same time: an item appears as figure and the other as background, and vice versa.

These internal schemas allow to manage the excess of information in easily and very fast (3:16 resonance with the Earth-Moon system), but in occasions may induce to inexplicable or funny errors. The magicians of shows are experts in 'illusory knowledge' and they know how to exploit these gaps in perception or in memory (11:2 resonance with Saturn).


(704) Interamnia is related with the ability to construct mental schemas, and especially to adapt and restructure the existing ones (4: 5 resonance with Eunomia).

While watching an image, (443) Photographica has the ability to cause a discontinuous change in the global perception, by bifurcating attention on to small details that are part of an ordered and recognizable structure, alternative to previous global perception. The most famous dual image of this type is the one of a young woman - old woman depending on how you look at it.

In Christmas of the year 1914, during the First World War, one of the sides of the trenches began to sing Christmas carols. From the other side heard him, and did the same thing. After a while, one of them approached with great expectation to the other side, then the rest... Even they played a soccer match! 

The meeting lasted until resumed the shelling in the distance, and all had to return to the harsh reality.

The letters in which this story is tell, had been made public now, a hundred years later.


Greek mythology

Aphrodite Urania (signifying "heavenly" or "spiritual") was an epithet to distinguish her more "celestial" love of body and soul, from her more earthly aspects of Aphrodite Pandemos ("Aphrodite for all the people"). 

"Tomb Raider" (PS3, 2013)

In the movie “Wedding Daze” (2007), the main characters decide to live together on the same day that they meet. Because they practically still do not know each other and love has not yet appeared between them, what characterized most their relationship at the beginning, is the mutual respect typical of (1388) Aphrodite.

"Wedding Daze" (2007)

In addition to respectful treatment, (1388) Aphrodite is, above all, related with personalized treatment, as in small shops.

"Rails & Ties" (2007)

Jason Biggs, actor of the movie "Wedding Daze" (2006), has Aphrodite in Gemini (5th Moon-Node House, cusp), in semisextile/quincunx with the Crossing Axis of Age Progressions (Signs Horocope) in Cancer/Capricorn.
